Very reasonable cultivation

After another seven rounds, it was finally Da Zhuang's turn to go on stage.

The person who came on stage with Da Zhuang was a sword cultivator. Don’t ask Tian Zhen how he could tell. Which cultivator always carries a sword with him? Most of them put it in a storage space or something like that. They would always carry it with them to tell others that they are not easy to mess with.

This person looked even more formidable. His casual glances and movements, seemingly dull, yet faintly revealing an indescribable aura of danger, made one hesitate to provoke him. His presence was like a silent volcano, poised to erupt at any moment, unleashing boundless energy and destructive power.

Someone around who knew him screamed out in surprise, "It's him!"

"It's Ye Ping, the sword fanatic from Kendo Peak!"

"I didn't expect to run into him in this area. This unlucky guy only had a 1 in 20 chance of running into him. Haha."

"Although there's no suspense, it's nice to see Senior Brother Ye Ping's sword again!"

"Hehe, a sword cultivator will never test his skills. It seems the situation will change very quickly."

...

As expected, as soon as the competition started, Tian Zhen saw that the air inside the light shield had a very obvious sense of being torn apart.

How was this done? He wished he could just peel off the light shield and carefully feel the mystery inside.

Ye Ping slapped his scabbard, sending a wave of distorted air surging. His figure became blurred by this distorted force, as if enveloped in a hazy mist. His body constantly shifted within the distorted space, sometimes stretching, sometimes shortening, sometimes twisting into strange shapes, creating an eerie atmosphere. Under this distorted force, Ye Ping's figure gradually vanished from sight, leaving only a blur of light and shadow.

Da Zhuang on the opposite side felt like he had fallen into a spider web, as if any movement would awaken the murderous intent. He felt a little panicked. It was the first time he had ever seen a situation that made him realize his life was in danger, just like the first time he saw a ghost.

This made his whole body stiffen and his surroundings numb. He subconsciously wanted to grab something. He paused and his vision swept across the hammer in his right hand. In an instant, the hammering skills he had used thousands of times emerged in his mind.

A sense of confidence and steadiness came over him, and his body suddenly emanated an inexplicable fluctuation. He turned the hammer in a circle, blocking the illusory sword shadow that was attacking him. The force was so great that the ground where Dazhuang's feet were standing instantly collapsed into two large pits. The illusory sword shadow did not dissipate with one blow, but instead suppressed Dazhuang's hammer tightly, leaving him no room to swing the hammer.

Dazhuang wanted to reduce the force, but he felt that the force was locked. As long as he changed the direction of the force, it would increase the force of the illusory sword shadow, and Dazhuang's force to resist it would also increase. He fell into a vicious circle back and forth, unable to change the direction at all, and was instead suppressed.

To make matters worse, less than half a breath after the first illusory sword shadow came, another ten illusory sword shadows attacked. Although they did not aim at the vital points, it was certain that they would cause serious injuries after making a few more holes in the body.

He was completely unable to move, but Dazhuang still had no intention of giving up. Who said that you have to swing a hammer to strike? This reminded him of the lightning release method that Tian Zhen taught him before the competition.

"Ha!" Flashes of lightning suddenly burst out from his body, and there was even more flashing light on his hammer.

Boom~ Ten lightning bolts spread out and accurately struck the ten illusory sword shadows. Suddenly, the ten sword shadows exploded like ink, and the powerful air waves they exploded eliminated a large part of the blurred and distorted feeling around them.

"Good job! Dazhuang! Haha!" Tian Zhen couldn't help but cheer when he saw Dazhuang successfully solve the problem. He originally thought that Dazhuang might fail this time, but he didn't expect that Dazhuang could actually use the lightning magic he just learned to solve the problem.

Tian Zhen noticed that the lightning released by Da Zhuang was somewhat different from his own. The deafening thunder was like the collapse of the heavens and the earth. The loudness of the thunder was like the trembling sound of iron hammering, which was shocking. The key point was that the sound effect of the lightning was also different. Normal lightning was derived from the five elements of water and fire, but this lightning was characterized by the transformation of the earth element. That's right, it was an explosion!

The vibrations from the explosion improve the efficiency of energy transfer, rather than relying on the high temperatures of the fire element. This method has a wide range and high efficiency. I can only say that Da Zhuang is quite creative.

Ye Ping is not the type to just watch the show, and it is impossible for him to only know one move.

The blurry lights and shadows on the stage began to change again. Ye Ping's figure appeared and disappeared, and the illusory sword shadows followed him like a shadow. One after another, illusory sword shadows also appeared behind him, following his movements like ghosts, which looked very strange.

Suddenly, six illusory sword peaks appeared around Da Zhuang in a bizarre manner. These sword peaks took on the shape of six diamonds, as if formed by countless rays of light, flashing with a chilling light that made one's heart tremble.

They slashed at Da Zhuang simultaneously from all directions, their speed so fast that no one could react. Each sword tip exuded a powerful aura, as if it could easily tear through the void. Even more astonishing was that the light effect emitted by these sword tips resembled a giant hexagram.

As the sword's tip moved and attacked, the hexagram continuously contracted and expanded, creating a powerful visual impact. The flickering light and shifting patterns imbued the entire space with a mysterious atmosphere. When the hexagram contracted to its limit, a deadly aura lashed out.

Dazhuang felt unprecedented pressure, his breathing became rapid, and his heartbeat accelerated to the extreme. Facing such a terrifying attack, he had to go all out to have a chance of survival.

"Buzz!" With a long nasal sound, he raised the hammer and slammed it hard on the ground. With him as the center, the entire floor of the platform shattered in an instant. The surging electric light gushed out from the hammer and the ground. Dozens of lightning bolts as thick as fists connected to the platform's light shield, and the light shield made a trembling low sound.

"Fuck! Thor? This is a bit beyond the norm! He actually made progress secretly without taking me with him!" Tian Zhen said excitedly while looking at the field.

The people around were all talking and exclaiming, "Another dark horse! What's going on this time? Why are there so many dark horses?"

The blurred scene on the stage caused by Ye Ping suddenly became clear, revealing Ye Ping with a look of astonishment on his face. He hurriedly stabilized his body, gripped the hilt of his sword and quickly drew a half arc, and three sword energies flew towards Dazhuang.

He held the sword in front of him, thrust forward with his waist and horse together, and the sword energy spun and caught up with the three sword energies in front at a faster speed. Suddenly, the four sword energies merged together, and their trajectory became unpredictable, looking like a swimming fish.

This "swimming fish" is extremely agile and powerful. Even the uneven places it passes through are smoothed out instantly.

But Dazhuang didn't feel good either. His whole body was numb from the recoil force and he couldn't even muster any strength. Seeing Ye Ping's attack coming, he tried desperately to lift the hammer, but the hammer that was now glowing with electricity seemed to have the weight of the Taijin Mountains.
