Yi Jiuzhou's great sword was slightly tilted, ready to strike again.
This time, Xu Feng did not allow Yi Jiuzhou to get close. He moved his steps calmly and then did something that left everyone in the audience dumbfounded. With his left hand, Xu Feng drew a line in the air with his sword, sending a dark red sword energy mixed with fragments of stone flying towards Yi Jiuzhou.
"What! Fire Element One Star sword energy? Didn't he practice the Earth Element Cultivation Method?" Chu Xianhe was the first to lose composure, standing up and rubbing his eyes vigorously, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"So this guy is dual cultivating Fire and Earth. No wonder he can defeat Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage." Half-Dead Bao felt relieved at this revelation.
In the camp of Wuhua Island, Hua Du's face finally showed a hint of seriousness, but it was quickly erased by his strong composure.
This was Xu Feng's first time publicly using two Cultivation Methods. Previously, he had been secretly killing and setting fires; no one saw him in the dead of night. This time, Yi Jiuzhou's strength was too formidable; relying solely on the Earth Element would certainly not withstand ten strikes, so he had no choice but to "show off."
Dual cultivation was not something new, but reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage at such a young age was quite rare. Fortunately, Xu Feng only revealed his dual cultivation skills; if people knew he practiced Five Elements Cultivation, they would be shocked beyond belief.
The major figures in the main viewing platform all showed expressions of regret for such talent; how wonderful it would be if such a disciple appeared in their sect.
Seeing Xu Feng suddenly unleash a Fire Element One Star sword energy, Yi Jiuzhou was also taken aback and quickly swung out a Jinxi sword light. The two energies collided in the sky and vanished without a trace.
Originally, Yi Jiuzhou's sword power was stronger than Xu Feng's, but because Xu Feng used the Fire Element One Star technique, which happened to counter Yi Jiuzhou's Jinxi, their exchange resulted in a stalemate.
After blocking one strike, Yi Jiuzhou immediately counterattacked. The Jinxi sword energy shot through the air towards Xu Feng, who conjured a faint yellow Earth Element sword energy with his right hand to intercept Yi Jiuzhou's attack while simultaneously forming an aura shield from the Earth King Armor that tightly protected his entire body.
The Earth Element Cultivation Method had the strongest defense. Xu Feng utilized the Earth Element solely for defense; although Yi Jiuzhou had an advantage in sword energy, breaking through would not be easy. Coupled with the Superior Spirit Armor protecting him from within, as long as he avoided critical hits, Xu Feng could withstand hundreds of strikes.
Yi Jiuzhou practiced pure Jinxi and focused on both offense and defense with it. However, he did not have as strong a foundation as Xu Feng; he wore only mid-grade Spirit Armor provided temporarily by his sect and not his personal gear. Every time Xu Feng unleashed a Fire Element One Star sword energy, it brought with it an unusual heat. Although Yi Jiuzhou relied on his powerful spiritual force to suppress it, he still felt some impact.
Yi Jiuzhou launched an aggressive attack with his sword energy weaving through the air. Xu Feng wielded his dual swords—one for offense and one for defense. The two engaged in their first aerial duel at the Immortal Path Conference. In an instant, white light, yellow light, and red light intertwined throughout the arena, sending fragments of stone flying in all directions.
This method of combat was powerful but also extremely draining on energy; it was typically used only in emergencies or against weaker opponents as a mass attack technique. Engaging in such an all-out duel like this was something only fools would do in actual combat.
Soon after exchanging over ten strikes, neither of them showed any signs of weakening; they continued their fierce exchange. Some who considered themselves clever began to close their mouths one by one; at this intensity of sword techniques, most cultivators could only unleash about twenty strikes at most.
When they reached their fiftieth strike, there was complete silence below the stage. An opponent capable of unleashing fifty lethal sword energies should not be underestimated; anyone who did so would be foolish.
Chen Ming from Wuhua Island felt grateful that he had not drawn either of these two opponents. Hua Du remained aloof but could no longer find any trace of disdain in his eyes.
Huang Chang from the New Moon Sect is the forever Impulsive Sister, her gaze wandering between the two, trying to find a weakness to exploit for the next battle. Cai Shujun's eyes are distant, and the two dancing figures resemble two Square Leaf Grasses that have been searching for a long time.
The battle situation is already under Xu Feng's control. After fifty strikes, his spiritual power continues to flow and recover rapidly, allowing Xu Feng to dictate the pace of the fight. The enduring nature of Water Element and the regenerative ability of Wood Element give Xu Feng a significantly thicker spiritual power compared to his peers.
Yi Jiuzhou's five-foot-long sword faintly glows red as continuous Fire Elemental Power invades his Medium-Grade Spirit Sword, heating the originally white blade to an intense temperature. Xu Feng, however, seems unfazed; every stray sword energy is neutralized by his counteracting spiritual power. The harmonious operation of the five elements maintains a balance between the output and regeneration of his internal spiritual power.
"Gold and Stone Open the Way!" Yi Jiuzhou finally acknowledges his disadvantage in spiritual power. He shifts his footwork, avoiding Xu Feng's sword energy for the first time, leaping up from a forty-five-degree angle as he chooses to engage in close combat once again.
"Yi Jiuzhou has given up on competing with sword energy; could it be that his spiritual power has run out? He’s actually losing to Yan Da from the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
"Are you just now realizing this?"
"I noticed it earlier but doubted my judgment. Well, even a fool can see it now; it must be true."
Xu Feng sees Yi Jiuzhou closing in with his sword and understands that Yi Jiuzhou intends to use sword techniques to compensate for his lack of spiritual power in an attempt to regain the upper hand. Xu Feng does not retreat; instead, he advances and meets him with both swords drawn.
In terms of swordsmanship alone, Yi Jiuzhou has a clear advantage. Xu Feng's Intermediate Combat Techniques are only practiced to one-third proficiency, barely enough to keep up due to his deep understanding of swordsmanship and his unique Nine Meridians, which allows him not to fall behind.
Yi Jiuzhou easily closes in, launching a series of heavy strikes that quickly turn the tide. The previously dominating Xu Feng finds himself on the defensive in this clash of sword techniques. If he cannot quickly leverage his strengths, he will soon be injured by Yi Jiuzhou's blade.
"Smoke Locks Heavy Tower." In a moment of urgency, Xu Feng employs a technique from Mo's Blade Technique, using swords instead of knives. He unleashes over ten feints with both swords and at the last moment makes contact with the tip of Yi Jiuzhou's great sword. His dual swords immediately cross and lock onto the great sword, angling it so that Yi Jiuzhou cannot easily withdraw.
However, the great sword is not so easily restrained. With a push and pull, Yi Jiuzhou quickly finds an opening. With a leap, the great sword slips away like an eel.
At that instant when Yi Jiuzhou retreats, Xu Feng suddenly jumps forward as if he had anticipated Yi Jiuzhou's retreat path all along. He charges with his right shoulder, crashing solidly into Yi Jiuzhou's chest, sending both him and his sword flying five meters before landing on the ground.
"Wow! That Yan Da actually injured Yi Jiuzhou with his body! I've never seen a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator injure someone from the Foundation Establishment Late Stage with sheer physical strength; is he made of iron?"
"I didn't expect Yan Da to have such a formidable physique!"
"Indeed! His waist strength is impressive!" exclaimed a Female Cultivator. As soon as she spoke, dozens of eyes filled with mischievous smiles turned toward her.
Yi Jiuzhou was not seriously injured; he got up immediately after falling, but the debris and dust on the ground left him in a messy state.
"I lost," Yi Jiuzhou said as he sheathed his great sword.
"You haven't lost yet. As long as you still have the strength to fight, falling doesn't count as losing," the referee reminded him from the side.
"I've lost, so I've lost," Yi Jiuzhou ignored the referee and turned to walk off the stage. "Losing isn't scary; being afraid of losing is what’s truly frightening."
Watching Yi Jiuzhou's retreating figure, Xu Feng suddenly said, "Yi Jiuzhou, I’ll be waiting for you to defeat me."
Upon hearing this, Yi Jiuzhou turned back and replied, "I will!"
In the main viewing area, a disciple quietly approached Lu Xianhe and whispered, "Sect Master, should we take back Yi Jiuzhou's mid-grade Spirit Armor and give it to a more promising disciple?"
Lu Xianhe's face darkened as he replied, "Who should we give it to? You?" At this point, the Star River Sword Sect had already been eliminated from the Immortal Path Conference.
