In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Then Zi'an made a backhand sword move, but the sword suddenly contracted, or rather slid, and shot out directly from the other end, swift and fierce.

This immediately surprised everyone.

Moreover, true sword masters understand that this is not a publicity stunt. The sound of the sword just now revealed that this is a genuine divine sword, only its design is ingenious.

Chapter 700 Heavenly Secret Staff Technique

"The Heavenly Secret Staff? May I ask who the Heavenly Secret Elder is to you, young brother?"

Zhao Gao looked at Zi'an with surprise and curiosity in his eyes.

As fellow masters, Zhao Gao was still very familiar with the name of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets.

However, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets travels throughout the Nine Provinces, and his whereabouts are uncertain. But he knows that the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets took in a child as his disciple ten years ago, and it seems that this is the one.

"He is my grandfather, and also my master!"

really!

Zhao Gao nodded, and Zhang Han, a member of the Yin-Yang School and the Shadow Guard, also suddenly understood.

The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets is a renowned figure in the Nine Provinces; no wonder this young man is so outstanding, and his weapon is so exquisite and extraordinary.

Although Prince Fusu did not know who the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets was, he knew that Zian had also studied under a famous master, and the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets' name sounded profound and unfathomable.

"This young man is new to the martial arts world and his skills are not as profound as his master's." "620, and the Heavenly Secret Staff is only at the beginner level."

Therefore, this Heavenly Secret Staff, used to conceal the sword, was forged for self-defense when traveling the martial world.

"The Heavenly Mystery Elder is famous throughout the world for his Heavenly Mystery Staff. Zhang Han would like to experience it for himself!"

Zhang Han's expression was solemn; he did not believe that the young man's martial arts skills were only at the initial stage.

Judging from his even and almost imperceptible aura, and the divine light in his bright eyes, he was at least a top expert, and his strength was probably no less than his own.

Everyone looked at Zhang Han and Zi'an with gleaming eyes.

"General Zhang Han, be careful, this sword is very heavy!"

hum!

After the warning, the longsword hissed, and Zi'an, as the junior, naturally took the first step.

Because the divine sword was forged from meteorite iron from outer space, even in its concealed state, it was extremely heavy. The sword's light and agile nature was nowhere to be seen on Zi'an.

A bolt of lightning pierced the air, its sharp whistling sending a chill down one's spine.

when!

As Zhang Han casually parried, he instinctively felt a jolt in his hand, and his longsword nearly slipped from his grasp.

He had to take three steps back to dissipate the terrifying power of Zian's sword.

The longsword, weighing nearly a hundred pounds, was wielded with such force that it was astonishing. Had Zhang Han not wielded a renowned sword, it would likely have been broken on the spot.

"This sword..."

Most of those present were experts and naturally understood the effect of that sword strike. They all looked at Zi'an in surprise.

The fierce and domineering attack just now was not only due to the boy's strong skills, but also because the sword itself is a domineering weapon, which is extremely rare on a longsword that is mainly light and agile.

Such as the Demon Sword Shark Tooth, Giant Sword, and Tai'a...

"What a sharp and powerful divine sword! It truly lives up to its reputation as a divine weapon forged from extraterrestrial meteorite iron."

Although Zhang Han suffered a loss, he didn't care.

After all, this kind of sharp divine sword, although domineering, also has great flaws.

The two attacked again, their figures rushing towards each other at lightning speed.

The soul-stealing sword light clashed once more with a hiss.

The sword energy was like frost. At this moment, the divine weapon in Zhang Han's hand gleamed with cold light, and the sword shadow flickered. With a speed like a ghost, he used his fast sword to find Zi'an's weakness.

Sword shadows enveloped his body, and phantoms imbued with sword energy attacked Zi'an's major acupoints.

But Zi'an did not jump. Instead, he remained calm and composed, wielding the Chunyang Sword repeatedly, moving it around his body to defend against Zhang Han's tentative attacks from all sides, and occasionally switching the sword between left and right.

Even though it may seem like they're struggling to cope, their defenses are actually airtight.

"Be careful!"

Zhang Han suddenly gave a warning, and with a flick of his left hand, a cold glint appeared.

But the instant the two swords were raised, a short sword flashed like lightning and pierced towards Zi'an; it was Zhang Han's secondary weapon.

This sudden sword strike could have decided the outcome in one blow. But Zi'an sheathed his longsword, and with a move of "Don't Ask the Heavenly Secrets" from his Heavenly Staff, a masterful strike, seemingly effortless and unpredictable, not only blocked Zhang Han's short sword but also unleashed a fierce gust of wind, striking Zhang Han's face.

when! when!

Zhang Han sensed something was wrong when Zi'an changed his move. Sure enough, the exquisite move of the Heavenly Secret Staff caught him completely off guard.

At the same time, the two swords slipped from his grasp as the Heavenly Staff struck him.

Ding!Ding!

The longsword fell to the ground, and everyone looked at the boy in disbelief.

Zhang Han was the commander of the Imperial Shadow Guard, at least a top-tier expert, yet he was defeated by a young man.

"What an exquisite Heavenly Secret Staff Technique!"

Legend has it that the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets used this skill to dominate the martial world, never suffering a defeat in his life. Seeing it today, I can see that his reputation is indeed well-deserved.

Zhao Gao's voice rang out in the hall. Everyone looked at the divine sword, which had turned back into a fire poker. Apart from shock, they were not very surprised.

After all, the Heavenly Mystery Elder's signature weapon was the Heavenly Mystery Staff...

Moreover, the staff conceals a sword, clearly intended for use as a hidden weapon.

"The students lost."

"In today's sword duel, I was in a hurry and used the Heavenly Secret Staff Technique. I hope the General will forgive me."

"Use your strengths to attack their weaknesses!"

Zhang Han had been immersing himself in swordsmanship for thirty years, giving him a significant advantage. However, in terms of true strength, the young master's Heavenly Secret Staff was far superior to Zhang Han's.

However, this Heavenly Secret Staff weighs at least a hundred pounds. Could it be that Young Master also practices a unique external martial arts technique?

Zhang Han was not a sore loser, but the fact that his hand was bleeding and his sword had slipped from his grasp showed just how powerful the Heavenly Secret Staff was, probably on par with the Giant Sword.

The Juque sword is powerful and heavy, so if Zhang Han were to face it, he would at least have been prepared long ago.

Rather than the sharp and fierce nature of the Pure Yang Sword, which allows for free and easy wielding, leaving no time for preparation.

If the young man hadn't been so unfamiliar with swordsmanship, relying solely on the fierce attacks of the Chunyang Sword, Zhang Han wouldn't have lasted long before his sword slipped from his grasp, resulting in the same outcome.

Moreover, while the young Zian's Heavenly Secret Staff Technique was superb, his true strength far surpassed that of the boy.

"When I was young, I followed my master on his travels, and I met a master who taught me the Armored Divine Skill. Now I have reached the pinnacle of it!"

The Armor-Wearing Skill at the Great Completion Level?

Zhang Han was shocked, and the others also looked at the young man Zi'an in surprise.

They never imagined that the handsome young man, who seemed so elegant, had actually mastered the ultimate martial arts technique of the Military School 2.0 – the Armored Divine Skill – and had even reached the pinnacle of it.

"I see, young man, you are truly blessed!"

The Armored Divine Skill is extremely obscure, and very few people in the martial arts world know about it.

However, as one of the five prominent schools of thought and an imperial general, he was well aware of the origins of the Armored Divine Skill.

This was the supreme martial art of a great master of military strategy in the past. Once mastered, one would be invulnerable to swords and spears, with no weaknesses.

This is a true martial art for external strength training!

"In that case, this match is a draw."

A gentleman carries a sword, and a martial arts duel is about the sword, not the skill level. Naturally, Zhang Han is superior.

But even Fusu could see that the young Zian was stronger than Zhang Han, he was just not good at using the sword.

After all, he had been traveling the world since childhood, so he had no time to learn swordsmanship. Naturally, what he was best at was the Heavenly Mystery Staff of the Heavenly Mystery Elder.

Chapter 701 Gathering Qi into a Blade VS Golden Sword Qi

Zhang Zhong of the Zhang Family VS Xinghun of the Yin Yang School!

The main purpose of Prince Fusu's visit to Xiaoshengxianzhuang was to see the young man before him, who had just outgrown his childhood.

The golden short sword in Zizhong's hand was made of black iron mixed with special gold-like ores. It could not only cut through iron like mud, but also generate a foot-long sword light. It was a peerless divine weapon enhanced by merit.

In terms of quality alone, it is by no means inferior to Tianwen.

But this is a short sword, with a blade two feet three inches long, a hilt seven inches long, and a weight of seven pounds three ounces.

Xinghen, on the other hand, wore a wicked smile. He was not a swordsman, but the sword blade he wielded, formed from thick true qi, was a unique skill of the Yin-Yang School, a peerless technique of gathering qi into a blade.

"The sword is named Golden Light, and its blade can reflect sunlight and obscure people's vision."

"By infusing it with true qi, one can generate a sword's edge a foot long, indestructible and unstoppable."

When Zizhong spoke, everyone was immediately surprised, not expecting that this divine sword would be so domineering.

Prince Fusu, Li Si, and Zhao Gao, on the other hand, looked solemn, knowing that Zhang Xiaoshan had the ability to enhance divine weapons.

The peerless divine weapon that Zhang Xiaoshan gave to the empire was enhanced. However, ordinary experts can only activate sword energy, and only top experts can generate sword light, but its power is limited.

A sword beam a foot long, indestructible and unstoppable, demonstrating the power of this divine weapon, which is comparable to the Heavenly Question Sword.

"What a fine sword! It's rumored that the Zhang family possesses the power to enhance divine weapons. Today, let Xinghun witness the power of this peerless divine weapon!"

Xinghun condensed true qi in his hands, giving rise to a qi blade resembling sword energy.

boom!

A terrifying surge of true qi, as powerful as a tidal wave, erupted forth, gathering into a blade that instantly enveloped the youth.

Faced with Xinghun's attacking energy blade, Zizhong remained calm and composed. As he flipped his longsword, a golden light was unleashed. It was not the refracted sunlight, but a golden sword aura generated by the blade, with a majestic and awe-inspiring power, which he unleashed.

The force of the two energy blades colliding in mid-air instantly swept across the entire hall.

Everyone looked on in horror as they stared at the two boys who were now facing off with swords drawn.

"Such profound and powerful true qi!"

Whether it's the domineering power of gathering energy into a blade or the sharpness of golden sword energy, both are top-tier killing methods in the martial arts world.

Even Zhang Han and the others had to admit that they needed to use their absolute strength to block the two sword energies.

boom!

Then came a deafening explosion in the air, and Xinghun, who was following closely behind the energy blade, met Zizhong, who was wielding a divine sword.

As the two confronted each other, the true qi of the Longevity Technique was no longer concealed. With the perfected Longevity True Qi, the Golden Light Divine Sword was activated, and instantly a sharp and incomparable sword qi swept out.

Compared to Xinghun's initial aura upon entering the peerless realm, Zizhong's true qi was more refined and gentle.

Therefore, in their fierce battle, they were evenly matched.

"The Taoist Longevity Secret!"

Zhao Gao immediately recognized Zizhong's true qi, and his eyes gleamed with a strange light.

Such pure and profound Longevity Qi, capable of contending with the unparalleled Dharma Protector of the Yin-Yang School, is definitely not a means of transferring power, but rather the work of a true prodigy.

"What a magnificent Taoist skill! Young master, you are truly a prodigy!"

Xinghun's eyes flashed with increasing ferocity. Although he had top-notch talent, his swordsmanship was extreme and not in line with the orthodox Xuanmen tradition.

Zizhong's Longevity Technique is the highest divine skill of Taoism, with boundless potential. Moreover, at only ten years old, his strength is already in no way inferior to Zizhong's.

If it were this year, surpassing him would be an absolute certainty.

However, considering Zi Zhong's terrifying background, even though Xing Hun was filled with murderous intent, he didn't dare to actually kill him or use underhanded tactics.

Otherwise, even the Yin-Yang School couldn't protect him.

"The Yin-Yang School's unparalleled skills are also extraordinary."

"Star Soul Guardian, be careful! The divine sword's edge is invincible and incomparably sharp. Do not be careless."
