Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

The sword technique changed again, and a scene of mountains and rivers being destroyed appeared. It rushed towards the bronze lion with a whoosh.

Clang clang clang~

The sound of metal clashing was continuous, and the arena was enveloped in sword light and powerful energy.

wow~

When the light faded, Yue Zhuoqun stood holding his sword, while the two bronze lions had turned into fragments scattered all around.

"Excellent swordsmanship. No wonder you were able to defeat the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi and the Overlord Blade in such a short time. But it's not enough to deal with me."

"Get up!"

Zhu Wushi roared once more, channeling his inner strength to strike the dragon relief in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

hold head high!

With a roar, the stone dragon, over ten meters tall, came to life, swimming and circling in the air.

Zhu Wushi leaped onto the top of the dragon's head and rode on its back.

As the dragon claws reached for Yue Zhuoqun, his palms also struck out wildly, each strike as powerful as a thunderous explosion, his fierce power overwhelming everything.

His skill is indeed astonishing; a preliminary estimate puts him at the level of three Ren Woxing.

When Yue Zhuoqun was struck by such a palm strike, the stone bricks beneath his feet shattered and scattered, and he swayed and had difficulty breathing.

Even so, he wasn't afraid.

He grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, and shouted, "The universe is unpredictable!"

Its momentum surged wildly, and purple internal energy erupted from its entire body, transforming into a purple furnace.

This furnace seems to contain a chaotic and inverted world. Any external attacks that get close are broken down by an invisible force, then revolve around Yue Zhuoqun's body, eventually becoming part of the furnace's power.

The more power Zhu Wushi outputs, the more power is absorbed, and the larger the furnace becomes.

After several consecutive slaps, Zhu Wushi's expression changed.

He felt a tremendous threat emanating from this furnace.

Just as he was about to urge the stone dragon beneath his feet to retreat, he heard Yue Zhuoqun shout: "Here you go!"

Chapter 86 An Unparalleled Battle

A vast and boundless power erupted from the purple furnace, violently churning the entire space. This immense force permeated every inch of space, threatening to tear everything apart.

Zhu Wushi's eyelids twitched wildly; even with his centuries of internal energy, he felt the threat of death.

With a heavy stomp on the stone dragon head, he leaped into the air and retreated backward.

"Bang! Crash..."

The stone dragon, empowered by internal force, was instantly blasted into dust, the grayish-white dust swirling in the wind.

Zhu Wushi had already been thrown back several meters, but his chest was still hit.

It felt like an invisible wall of air had crashed into me, shaking my internal organs, making my throat taste sweet, and causing blood to gush from the corners of my mouth.

He only regained his balance after his back smashed through a building and his feet left a trail of footprints on the ground.

He fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face grim, and said:

"Very well, very well. I've always been the one absorbing other people's power, but I never expected that you would borrow my inner strength today!"

He had already realized that Yue Zhuoqun's skill was far inferior to his own, but that one unique skill was extremely profound.

Although it is not like the Absorbing Power Technique, which can directly seize the enemy's power, it can transfer the opponent's attacks to one's own use.

The force of his own palm strike backfired and injured him.

This made Zhu Wushi feel very uncomfortable, and it was the first time he had ever felt so stifled.

"Don't be surprised. I have many more sophisticated methods. Trying to suppress me with your powerful internal energy is wishful thinking." Yue Zhuoqun smiled calmly when he saw his ugly expression.

"In that case, let me see what you've got up to!"

Zhu Wushi took a deep breath and pressed his hands down in front of his chest to stabilize his injuries.

With a few quick movements of his feet, he appeared in front of Yue Zhuoqun and pointed his finger out like lightning.

Although the Absorption Technique is his foundation, it doesn't mean he doesn't know other martial arts; close combat is also one of his strengths.

Pure Yang Finger is one of his signature martial arts skills.

It was with this finger technique that he defeated Gu Santong in one move and caused Gu Santong a serious injury.

"Finger technique? You're just showing off your limited skills in front of an expert."

Yue Zhuoqun's eyes flashed like lightning, and he pointed out with a sharp slash of his Gentleman's Sword. Golden energy flew out from the tip of the sword and collided with the opponent's finger force.

The two figures intertwined, unleashing a variety of moves, their energy flying everywhere.

Their speed increased, and they became a blur of afterimages, intertwined together.

The faces of Cheng Shifei and his companions in the distance were filled with shock, their eyes unable to keep up with their movements.

"Only today did I realize what it's like when peerless masters fight."

"Yes! If it weren't for Hero Yue being there, we wouldn't have been able to stop the Divine Marquis."

"No, get away quickly."

They paused, instinctively shifting to the side.

The battle area between Yue Zhuoqun and Zhu Wushi expanded, unknowingly enveloping the area where they were standing.

A palm strike came, like a mountain falling from the sky, about to crush them.

As soon as the group moved out, the ground trembled, the hard floor was smashed, and a crater several meters deep was left.

In their back-and-forth exchanges, the two had already fought hundreds of rounds, leaving the entire Taihe Square in ruins, with not a single intact paving stone to be found.

Zhu Wushi, caught in the midst of the fierce battle, was feeling very uneasy.

He chose to engage in close combat to prevent his opponent from using his skills, but the more he fought, the more frightened and desperate he became.

Yue Zhuoqun knew far too many martial arts techniques; no matter what moves he used, his opponent could easily neutralize them.

The opponent could even multitask, simultaneously employing two different martial arts techniques. His right hand wielded a continuous sword technique, while his left hand unpredictably used fists, palms, fingers, and claws.

Even though I was facing one person, I had the illusion of being attacked by dozens of martial arts masters.

If this continues, defeat is inevitable.

Having figured this out, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and without dodging or avoiding, he leaned forward to meet Yue Zhuoqun's longsword.

puff!

The jet-black Gentleman's Sword pierced his shoulder, while his right hand gripped Yue Zhuoqun's shoulder.

"Your extraordinary skills are now mine to use!"

"The Great Absorption Technique!"

Yue Zhuoqun's gaze sharpened; he had long been wary of Yue Zhuoqun absorbing his power. The moment his shoulder was grabbed, he activated his hidden technique.

His internal energy vanished instantly.

"Hmm? You can actually hide your internal energy?"

Zhu Wushi was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief, but then it turned into mockery:

"Don't think of the Absorption Technique as something so simple. It can not only absorb people's internal energy, but also take away the enemy's life force."

The five fingers gripping Yue Zhuoqun's shoulder tightened even more, causing the power of attraction and absorption to surge.

hum!

Yue Zhuoqun's body trembled, and he could clearly feel the speed of blood flow increasing, with the life essence between his flesh and blood being absorbed by the other party.

"Absorbing people's internal energy and essence, it truly deserves to be called a martial arts masterpiece."

Yue Zhuoqun suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleaming with a hazy, strange light, and an invisible wave surged directly into Zhu Wushi's eyes.

"Unfortunately, I still have a move called Soul Searching and Soul Stealing, which you can't possibly withstand."

hum!

Zhu ignored the roaring in his mind and became delirious.

Given Zhu Wushi's strength, it would be difficult for Yue Zhuoqun to successfully control his mind. However, without controlling his mind, causing him to lose focus for a moment would be enough.

The absorption power of the Absorption Technique paused, and Yue Zhuoqun's shoulders trembled, causing him to push the other's hand away.

He took a step forward with his right foot and struck out with the Great Demon Hand.

Bang!

A palm struck Zhu Wushi squarely on the forehead.

Zhu Wushi's head snapped back with a crack, and his body was sent flying as if hit by a meteor.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the steps in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony shattered, and rocks flew everywhere.
