I can gather experience beads

As an outstanding existence among the peak cultivators of the Void Refining Realm, Ji Zhan has learned from many masters on the road of cultivation.

He is not only proficient in kendo, but also has some knowledge of physical skills.

However, compared with Cao Rui, who has the experience beads to practice physical skills to the extreme, Ji Zhan's attainments in physical skills are obviously slightly inferior.

When the two men fought in close combat, Cao Rui, with full firepower, displayed amazing strength and suppressed Ji Zhan.

Cao Rui's figure was as erratic as a ghost, and each strike of his fists and palms contained tremendous power.

Although Ji Zhan fought with all his might, he was still unable to withstand Cao Rui's fierce attack.

It was another thrilling, spark-sparkling collision!

Cao Rui's eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at Ji Zhan's every move, not missing any tiny flaw.

At the moment when Ji Zhan hesitated a little, Cao Rui attacked as swiftly as a cheetah and accurately seized the tiny loophole in the opponent's reaction.

In a flash, Cao Rui flashed and displayed his ultimate martial arts boxing skills. The muscles in his right arm suddenly bulged, and the Black Tortoise runes flashed. With an overwhelming force, he punched straight at Ji Zhan's face.

The fist whizzed past, carrying with it the force of thunder, as if it was going to tear apart everything in front of it.

All I heard was a loud, dull bang, which was deafening and terrifying.

Ji Zhan's head was like a watermelon hit by a sledgehammer. It was instantly severely deformed, his facial features were twisted together, and blood gushed out of his mouth and nose. The scene looked extremely horrifying and unbearable to watch.

However, this level of injury is nothing to a cultivator who is at the peak of the Refinement Realm and has practiced physical skills.

Despite suffering such a severe blow, Ji Zhan's expression did not change at all.

He had no intention of retreating. His eyes were steady, as if he had blocked out the pain, and he quickly counterattacked.

I saw him clench his left hand hard, and then tightly grasp the hilt of the extremely heavy sword behind him with his backhand.

This giant sword is completely black, and the blade is flashing with cold light. One can tell at a glance that its sharpness is incomparable to that of ordinary weapons.

Ji Zhan gripped the giant sword with both hands, shouted loudly, and slashed at Cao Rui with all his strength.

The sword was as powerful as a rainbow, cutting through the sky, bringing with it a sharp and piercing sound, as if it was going to cut the enemy in front of it in half.

Facing Ji Zhan's extremely sharp sword, Cao Rui remained calm. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

He just gently waved the ethereal cloak on his body, and his whole body floated away like a light feather.

That agile and graceful figure seemed to blend into the surrounding air, and he easily dodged Ji Zhan's fatal blow.

You know, the heavy sword in Ji Zhan's hand is indeed extremely powerful, but because the sword is too heavy, even if its size is reduced through special means, its huge weight cannot be changed.

Therefore, in this kind of close-range combat, every time Ji Zhan swung the heavy sword to attack, his speed would be greatly affected.

Previously, when he transformed the heavy sword into a giant object of a hundred feet, this defect was not easily exposed due to its wide attack range and huge size.

But now, facing Cao Rui, who is agile and erratic in his movements, once Ji Zhan is forced to reduce the heavy sword to its normal size to deal with close combat, this shortcoming will be infinitely magnified and become his fatal weakness.

After several exchanges, Ji Zhan quickly caught this obvious flaw.

He endured several violent punches from Cao Rui, but finally found an opportunity.

Ji Zhan immediately put away the extremely heavy spiritual sword in his hand that was shining with mysterious light.

The transparent flying sword that was originally held in his other hand streaked across the sky like a meteor and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

And the next moment, this transparent flying sword appeared behind Cao Rui without anyone noticing, and rushed towards Cao Rui's head with the force of thunder!

Faced with such a sudden attack, Cao Rui reacted extremely quickly.

He turned around suddenly and slapped him with his backhand without hesitation.

There was a loud "bang" and a powerful physical force like an overwhelming force surged out and hit the rapidly approaching transparent flying sword.

Although this transparent flying sword has the magical ability to freely travel through the void, and its flight trajectory is even more bizarre and unpredictable, in the face of Cao Rui's extremely terrifying physical strength, it is like a fragile fallen leaf blown away by the wind, and is instantly slammed away.

It has to be said that although this transparent flying sword has the amazing ability to travel through the void, the power it can exert is relatively not great.

There is no problem in using it to destroy the magical power itself.

But if used to directly kill a powerful physical cultivator like Cao Rui, it would obviously be completely unable to break through the defense.

In fact, it is more often used as an auxiliary means or to break the enemy's defense.

And at this moment, while Cao Rui was busy dealing with the transparent flying sword, Ji Zhan seized the fleeting opportunity.

His movements were as smooth as flowing water, and he drew out the third sword from his back in one go - it was a magical flying sword that was shining with dazzling golden light all over!

Just by looking at it from a distance, one can feel the powerful aura emanating from this flying sword.

Without a doubt, this is another top-grade spiritual treasure!

Buzz! With a sharp and piercing buzzing sound, Ji Zhan tightly grasped the flying sword that shone with brilliant golden light with both hands and swung it out suddenly.

In an instant, an extremely sharp sword light whizzed down like lightning, and slashed straight towards Cao Rui with terrifying power.

Cao Rui was startled when he saw this, and quickly turned his head, staring at the rapidly approaching sword light.

The speed of this sword was beyond imagination, many times faster than the heavy sword attack I had seen before! Even with Cao Rui's agile body, he found it difficult to dodge at this moment.

Seeing that there was no escape, Cao Rui made a prompt decision and his whole body instantly flashed with a layer of dazzling basalt rune light.

As his mind moved, these runes quickly gathered together, and in the blink of an eye they condensed into a huge black tortoise shadow, blocking in front of him.

However, the sword light came with great force and hit the Xuanwu phantom hard.

Bang! There was a loud noise, and a strong energy wave suddenly erupted where the two collided.

The power of Ji Zhan's attack was so strong that the black tortoise phantom condensed by Cao Rui began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse and dissipate at any time.

Cao Rui even felt an extremely terrifying force being transmitted to him through the shadow of Xuanwu, causing him to groan and take a few steps back before he could barely steady himself.

"What a strong attack power!" Cao Rui secretly marveled in his heart.

Just this one sword made him feel unprecedented pressure.

However, he did not retreat because of this. Instead, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he was ready to face Ji Zhan's next more fierce attack.

At the same time, the golden flying sword in Ji Zhan's hand still emitted a captivating cold light.

He raised his lips slightly, revealing a confident smile, and shouted loudly: "Come on! Try my most powerful 'Shun Guang Likong Sword'!"

Before he finished speaking, he swung the flying sword in his hand again. For a moment, the sword shadows were heavy and intertwined into an impenetrable sword net, covering Cao Rui all over the sky.

The reason why Ji Zhan chose to launch the attack with the flying sword in hand was not only because the flying sword itself was sharp and powerful.

More importantly, he also mastered unique sword skills.

Through this unique technique, he is able to perfectly combine his own physical strength with the power of sword-wielding, thereby making the flying sword exert a terrifying power far beyond the ordinary!

"Spiritual eyes break delusion!"

As soon as the cooling time was over, Cao Rui attacked Ji Zhan with his Spirit Eyes regardless of whether it would be effective or not.

Another flash of white light appeared, and the Netherworld energy that the spiritual eye could use to break through delusion disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Swoosh! There was a sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air, and a sharp sword light slashed towards Cao Rui like lightning.

Cao Rui's heart tightened and he dodged suddenly, barely avoiding the fatal blow.

However, despite his quick reaction, the terrifying sword light still brushed past his body, leaving a trail of blood.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a layer of mysterious basalt rune light flashed on Cao Rui's body, barely blocking the power of the attack and preventing him from being seriously injured on the spot.

But even so, the extremely solid basalt rune flickered with light and darkness, as if it could shatter at any time.

"Damn it!" Cao Rui cursed inwardly, groaning in his heart.

He originally thought that with his advanced cultivation and powerful physical strength, he could fight the enemy in close combat.

But he didn't expect that the opponent was holding a magical weapon, and the power of the attack was so astonishing that he could not resist it with his bare hands.

This golden, top-grade spiritual flying sword is extremely sharp. When combined with Ji Zhan's terrifying sword-controlling skills, its power is even more astonishing. An ordinary Void-refining cultivator would probably be killed by a single blow of his sword.

Seeing Ji Zhan swinging his sword to attack again, Cao Rui did not dare to be careless anymore.

There was a flash of determination in his eyes, and his right hand suddenly stretched out and tightly grasped the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword at his side.

In an instant, a vast and majestic sword energy gushed out from the sword body, like a roaring blue dragon, shocking people.

You have a top-grade spiritual flying sword! I have one too!

The moment he held the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, a secular sword technique that he had learned before suddenly emerged in Cao Rui's mind.

Although this set of sword skills is ordinary, it became his life-saving straw at this moment.

Without having time to think, Cao Rui immediately performed this sword technique while circulating the spiritual power in his body.

Under the influence of this mundane martial art, Cao Rui was able to skillfully combine the Five Elements Sword Controlling Technique with his own physical strength.

You have to know that Ji Zhan had spent countless years studying to achieve this.

As a result, when it came to Cao Rui, he copied it in minutes.

Perhaps it was because Cao Rui possessed a powerful spiritual awareness far beyond that of ordinary people, or perhaps it was because his physical body was extremely well coordinated. When the two were perfectly combined, unexpected results were produced.

His figure was as erratic as a ghost, and his speed was astonishingly fast.

At first, facing Ji Zhan's fierce offensive, Cao Rui could only defend himself and was completely at a disadvantage.

But as time went on, he gradually adapted to the rhythm of the battle and began to fight back.

The two fought back and forth, neither giving in, and the fight was difficult to resolve for a while.

During the fierce confrontation, Cao Rui used the magical power of "Spiritual Eyes Breaking Delusion" from time to time to try to break Ji Zhan's spiritual defense, but of course the result was always unsuccessful!

Cao Rui really didn't believe this. The energy couldn't disappear for no reason. Cao Rui wanted to see how long Ji Zhan could eliminate it!

The Lianxu cultivators did not control the flying swords for long-range attacks, but instead used the swords to fight back. This special method of fighting with the sword left the onlookers dumbfounded.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

With their level, the only way for them to exert both sword control and physical strength at the same time is by holding a sword.

In this way, a cup of tea passed.

After his spiritual eyes once again revealed his delusion, Cao Rui finally caught a glimpse of anxiety on Ji Zhan's face.

"It should be almost there!"

Cao Rui's physical strength exploded, and the frame of the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword continuously forced Ji Zhan to fight.

Don't give Ji Zhan any chance to make other plans.

When fighting with swords, Ji Zhan's flying sword was obviously more powerful because his sword-controlling skills were several levels higher than Cao Rui's.

However, Cao Rui had the blessing of martial arts and swordsmanship from the secular world, so when the fight started, he was only slightly at a disadvantage.

"I lost."

After another duel, Cao Rui's Spirit Eyes of Breaking Delusion was about to expire. A smile flashed in Ji Zhan's eyes, and he spoke lightly.

"But you won't win..."

Suddenly, there was a white object in Ji Zhan's hand.

The thing flashed and disappeared, and reappeared in front of Cao Rui.

Cao Rui wanted to withdraw, but found that his body was restrained.

Cao Rui gritted his teeth and simply blasted his spiritual eyes at Ji Zhan.

Sure enough, Ji Zhan lost the ability to eliminate the spiritual eyes and break the delusion.

This spiritual gaze easily penetrated into Ji Zhan's mind.

Ji Zhan’s soul is not that powerful.

After Cao Rui was promoted to the peak of Refining Void, his spiritual awareness increased by one third, and his spiritual eyes were also significantly strengthened!

Ji Zhan was obviously slowed down, and Cao Rui was about to swing his sword to behead him.

There was a sudden suction force from the white light, and the next moment, Cao Rui disappeared from the spot.

"Hmm? Where did the Cloak Ancestor go?"

"What is that! A teleporting magic weapon?"

"Hey! Ji Zhan, what are you doing!" The Red Cloud Vortex monks who were watching discovered that there was no trace of Cao Rui within the range of their spiritual sense observation.

Ji Zhan, on the other hand, paused for three seconds before coming to his senses with a pale face.

"What a terrifying divine power! Just one strike has severely damaged my soul. It will take at least several years to recover."

If Cao Rui had not been teleported away just now, three moments would be enough for Cao Rui to kill Ji Zhan.

It was he who failed.

Ji Zhan glanced at the excited Red Cloud Vortex monks around him and realized that his performance during the three moments of dizziness was indeed too poor and could not convince others.

He didn't want to explain anything.

Finally, he waved his hand and left with the members of the Blue Robe Pirates.

This battle ended with Cao Rui's disappearance and the retreat of the Blue Robe Pirates.
