Chapter 877 - 94: Palm Thunder

Chapter 877: Chapter 94: Palm Thunder

A slightly indifferent Wang Zhigao let out a soft "hmm," and there was a bit more surprise in his gaze.

"A Top-Grade Thunder Spirit Root?" Wang Zhigao said subconsciously.

Tang Feng and Kui Ma exchanged a glance, they also noticed but were unsure, because previously Chu Zhan only had an Upper Grade Thunder Spirit Root. How did it suddenly become a Top-Grade Thunder Spirit Root?

Swoosh...

The sword light swept over, and Chu Zhan’s figure vanished. The lightning speed was no longer as sharp as before, but now had a bit more elegance and powerful control. Wang Zhigao’s eyes revealed satisfaction, but Kui Ma and Tang Feng were shocked. How could he have improved so much in just a few days?

Thunderous Force!

Rumble rumble rumble...

The violent Thunder Swordsmanship instantly enveloped Li Xin. His figure became bizarre, moving rapidly through the thunder. Chu Zhan, using the Big Dipper Seven-Star Step, pursued closely. Unlike before, when speed was the focus, the Big Dipper Seven-Star Step now had a better rhythm.

Jiang Jinyue’s eyes were full of amazement. She knew Chu Zhan would improve, but did not expect such a significant improvement. This comprehension of realms is the hardest to achieve, but Ren Yanli was also formidable. The improved Big Dipper Seven-Star Step did not throw him off balance.

The Thunder Shadow Triple Clone simultaneously slashed at Li Xin. Just as the clone appeared, Li Xin suddenly appeared in front of Chu Zhan’s true body, suddenly grasping Chu Zhan’s long sword, while throwing a punch, blinking suddenly: "The same move doesn’t work on a Saint Warrior."

Chu Zhan’s mouth curled into a smile, meeting the punch with his own fist, "You’ve been tricked!"

Boom...

In a deafening explosion, Li Xin was instantly blasted away at the moment their fists met. At this time, Chu Zhan’s left hand faintly exuded a shadowy purple lightning.

Below the stage, Duan Zhengyang jumped up, "Damn, Brother, you’ve mastered it!"

On stage, Chu Zhan had already shadowed Li Xin relentlessly. The Thunder Sword led the way, while the most undefendable was the Three Pristine Sect’s ultimate skill Palm Thunder, ranked among the top ten cultivation techniques in Thunder Techniques, which was most effective against those fierce and resilient Body Cultivators.

The sharp and frantically flashing Thunder Sword, paired with the undefendable Palm Thunder, was a completely different pace of attack. With the Thunder Sword as the primary, Palm Thunder as the secondary, it forced Li Xin on the retreat. The speed of both parties increased, with fewer collisions, but each one was extremely dangerous, targeting the opponent’s open spots.

Finally, Chu Zhan used the speed of Thunder Techniques to force Li Xin into a dead corner. The Thunder Sword constrained Li Xin’s movement techniques. The moment his move was predictable, Chu Zhan caught it, and the Hand of Death suddenly reached out, launching the long-prepared Palm Thunder.

Boom...

A solid hit from the Palm Thunder heavily slammed Li Xin into the defensive formation. The thunder burst into light, the roar never-ending.

The entire venue fell silent, all eyes were on Chu Zhan. Especially those cultivators who hadn’t watched the previous matches, they were dumbfounded. Who the hell said the Three Pristine Sect was no good? Who the hell said Chu Zhan was a wasted talent? Who the hell wouldn’t die facing this?

There was no joy on Chu Zhan’s face, instead, he frowned, "Is Brother Ren underestimating me?"

Li Xin scrambled to his feet, "That move of yours was quite impressive, tingling and powerful."

"Brother Ren, this is martial combat for us..."

Swoosh...

Li Xin’s figure disappeared. The next second, Chu Zhan’s Palm Thunder landed on air, Li Xin seized Chu Zhan’s wrist, his body leaning in, Chu Zhan’s expression froze, instantly being sent flying. With a bang, Li Xin shot out like a cannonball, striking with a direct kick and sending Chu Zhan flying. At this moment, Li Xin had already reached the air, hands clasped in a fist.

Boom——

Chu Zhan plummeted like a meteor, smashing a pit into the specially made ground.

Pfft~~~

Blood splattered.

Li Xin landed, and at that moment, the mighty Jiuxiao Building fell completely silent. All the cultivators seemed struck by a time-stopping spell.

Cough cough cough.

Chu Zhan coughed severely, getting up with a face filled with excitement mixed with a bit of bitterness, "Failing to fully entertain Brother Ren is my mistake, but I still have one move left."

Chu Zhan summoned his longsword, floating in front of his chest. Spiritual Ability and lightning intertwined, "Three Pristine Decree, Five Thunders be commanded, all evils be rectified, with a finger, startling thunder rises, one sword purges heaven and earth!"

Every word was exceedingly clear, resounding throughout the Jiuxiao Building. Everyone’s complexion changed, wasn’t this the secret technique of the Three Pristine Sect? To comprehend it during the Golden Core Stage already was exceptional.

Accompanied by Chu Zhan’s Thunder Technique, the Spiritual Ability within his body burned intensely, his eyes ablaze with purple flames. The sword floating before him flickered, seemingly not existing in this world, "Sword Control Technique——Exorcism!"

Swoosh...

The Thunder Sword in his hand instantly struck at Li Xin, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

The Sword Control Technique is the ultimate swordsmanship of a Sword Cultivator, able to break myriad evils. Of course, Chu Zhan did not wield it skillfully, and the preparation time was long, but as long as it was deployed, it was the Sword Control Technique.

This bumpkin is doomed!

Before anyone could react, a loud explosion resounded. Those who were ready to cheer were instantly frozen. The invincible Sword Control Technique was shattered.

In Ren Yanli’s hand, spinning was... a Palm Thunder.

The interruption of his Thunder Technique left Chu Zhan dumbfounded, instantly losing consciousness, collapsing softly.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, Yun Yu and Yun Le, the two sisters, were also immobile for quite a while. Yun Yu regained her senses and hurried into the arena.

"The first match, Ren Yanli wins."

At this moment, everyone finally woke up, and the entire venue erupted like a cauldron, discussing excitedly, strange looks flooding in like tides.

"Amazing, exhilarating, Brother Ren is incredible, he even knows Palm Thunder. Does this mean there are also Divine Land’s ultimate skills outside?" Xiao Yan said excitedly, fanning himself, he was also an exceptional supporter of Li Xin.

"No, he learned it on the spot. Palm Thunder breaking Sword Control Technique, this move is brilliant. Why hadn’t I thought of it before?" Liu Zhongyang shook his head.

The Sword Control Technique cannot be blocked by ordinary defenses. It has reached the level of "Technique," but when combined with swordsmanship, it transcends the realm of Technique and Swordsmanship.

"What did you say, learned on the spot?" Xiao Yan was dumbfounded, "How is that possible?"

"What’s impossible about it," Liu Zhongyang smirked, "Everyone’s been through it back in the day, it was just a basic test."

Xiao Yan’s eyes spun, "Where’s the test, why haven’t I heard of it?"

Liu Zhongyang smiled without speaking, Xiao Yan looked to Ku Chan, "Brother Ku Chan, what’s the situation, help solve my confusion, and I can help you win over Brother Ren later."

Ku Chan’s eyes lit up, just about to speak, when Liu Zhongyang, nearby, panicked, "Hey, Brother Xiao, what are you doing, give me a breathing space, huh, Secret Castle, the Secret Castle’s test."

"You tested Palm Thunder?"

"No, the Secret Castle tests participants’ talent by teaching some strange spells or whatever, then having the learners replicate them immediately. Whether it’s Palm Thunder, or various techniques, it’s all about magic and Spiritual Ability. Different paths, different styles, it doesn’t matter. The key is the comprehension." Liu Zhongyang explained.
