Xiao Ting, a bit nervous, said to Gao Xuan: "Lan Tiancheng's swordsmanship is very strong. You have to be careful. His Profound Celestial Sword is all about transformations, don't be deceived by him."

Xiao Wan clenched her fist to cheer for Gao Xuan: "Lan Tiancheng always bullied me before with his superior swordsmanship. Teach him a lesson, good luck!"

She brought Gao Xuan over here, actually wanting him to deal with Lan Tiancheng.

Now that Lan Tiancheng proactively steps into the ring, it seems like the heavens are granting her wish.

"No problem."

Gao Xuan asked, "Sister Wan, just tell me, how do you want me to teach him a lesson?"

"That guy used to hit my butt with a wooden sword. You should smack his butt hard too."

Xiao Wan can accept defeat, but she cannot accept the defeat of having her butt beaten and swollen.

Lan Tiancheng's misdeeds left her with a very deep shadow. She can never let this go without getting revenge.

"That's right, this guy just loves smacking girls' butts."

Xiao Jun also hurriedly complained, she too suffered losses under Lan Tiancheng's hands before.

Back then, Lan Tiancheng was quite the scoundrel, behaving atrociously. These past two years, he seems to have received some lesson, quieting down and no longer as flamboyant as before.

However, this doesn't mean others could forget the humiliation they suffered.

Gao Xuan found it somewhat amusing, indeed, women have a different thought process.

He wielded the sword as he walked into the ring, held it in salute: "Lan Tiancheng, I have long heard of your esteemed name."

Lan Tiancheng glanced at the three Xiao sisters glaring menacingly at him and couldn't help but bitterly smile, it was definitely the women slandering him.

He also adopted a saluting posture: "When young, I was reckless and did quite a few wrong things. But I managed to win some hollow fame."

Lan Tiancheng's words took a turn and he continued: "However, what's done is done, there's nothing for me to regret. If anyone has the ability, feel free to seek justice from me!"

His words sounded both shameless and bold, carrying a hint of Jianghu heroism.

"Well said. Justice in people's hearts is useless, justice can only be found in the sword."

Gao Xuan raised his sword: "Please."

"Please."

Lan Tiancheng and Gao Xuan raised their swords facing each other, neither rushed to make a move.

At the level of Sword Heroes, what truly determines superiority is Sword Intent.

The stronger the Sword Intent, the stronger the Sword Qi naturally, the stronger the mastery of Swordsmanship naturally.

In his earlier years, Lan Tiancheng was arrogant, the Profound Celestial Sword was also ostentatious and sharp. These past years of quiet, he indeed comprehended two shades of profound meanings in the Profound Celestial Sword.

Profound is a very subtle artistic conception. Everyone's understanding of the profound is different, so the Sword Intent varies completely.

Lan Family has a heritage spanning thousands of years, the Profound Celestial Sword has seventeen very mature forms of Sword Intent.

However, the Sword Intent Lan Tiancheng comprehended is different from the family's heritage. These past two years of quiet, he has been exploring his own path.

To him, Gao Xuan is an excellent strong enemy to temper his Sword Intent.

Sword Intent is the most refined manifestation of a Sword Hero's spirit and consciousness, internally controlling Sword Qi to govern the body and Sword Artifact. Externally, it turns a strand of Divine Intent into a sword, able to sense the myriad beings, to wield Endless Source Power, to slay strong enemies and demons.

Lan Tiancheng's Profound Celestial Sword Intent locked onto Gao Xuan, yet he always felt Gao Xuan's Sword Intent was elusive like a ghost, unfathomable.

As their Sword Intents clashed, he couldn't at all see through Gao Xuan's reality.

This surprised Lan Tiancheng; although Sword Intent speaks of the profound, the clash of Sword Intent is like physical wrestling. It's usually easy to judge each other's reality.

Lan Tiancheng has encountered numerous experts, though their Sword Intents might be strong, yet they were plainly strong. Allowing him to immediately know that he was no match.

Sword Intents like Gao Xuan's, whose reality cannot be judged, he's seeing for the first time.

Lan Tiancheng sent out Sword Intent repeatedly thousands of times, yet couldn't test out any result.

He didn't dwell on it, straightforwardly triggering Sword Qi, driving the sword straight to stab at Gao Xuan's heart.

This move of Swordsmanship appears between reality and illusion, could be converted freely. All depends on how Gao Xuan responds.

Lan Tiancheng wrapped his wooden sword with Sword Qi, making the wooden sword faster, yet it wouldn't affect the surroundings.

In terms of Sword Qi control, it could be called exquisite.

This kind of skill alone surpassed Bai Yue by one level.

Gao Xuan also had to admit, given Lan Tiancheng's age, such swordsmanship is really good. Though the Sword Intent is immature, it is lively and dynamic.

Of course, "really good" here refers to the Twelve Star Domain.

In the talent-rich Central Star Realm, Lan Tiancheng at this level can only be said to be average.

The wooden sword's material limitation means it can't withstand too fast a sword speed.

Gao Xuan faced Lan Tiancheng's direct thrust with a quick sword, his sword speed even faster, though struck later, it could strike first.

Lan Tiancheng immediately made the judgment, if he didn't swing his sword to block, he'd definitely be struck first.

With Gao Xuan's Quick Sword, he could easily block after striking him.

Such a Quick Sword looks simple, winning with speed. But Gao Xuan's striking angle, speed, and power are all just right.

No matter how Lan Tiancheng countered, it was particularly uncomfortable.

With no options left, Lan Tiancheng could only return sword to block. Gao Xuan seized the advantage with one sword, then launched a chain of Quick Swords.

The wooden sword in Gao Xuan's hand was faster with each sword, yet his manner was leisurely and composed, drifting as if walking on the wind.

Lan Tiancheng appeared much more awkward, spinning in circles and retreating, clumsy at every turn, his long hair all flying in the agitation of Sword Qi.

Seeing Lan Tiancheng clearly falling behind, Yu Feiying and Bai Yue grew anxious.

Bai Yue's mind still a bit unclear, he couldn't help but ask: "Can boss win?"

Yu Feiying coldly replied: "No chance."

The Profound Celestial Sword is wondrous in transformations, but it showed no effect under Gao Xuan's Quick Sword.

It's not that Gao Xuan's sword couldn't be caught for speed. Rather, each strike targeted Lan Tiancheng's weakest point.

With dozens of such strikes stacked up, Gao Xuan's advantage became increasingly evident.

In Yu Feiying's view, Gao Xuan has already won now. Just that he, for unknown purposes, hasn't ended the fight yet.

Lan Tiancheng also realized this, vaguely guessing Gao Xuan's intent.

He felt the situation worsening, at this rate he might truly embarrass himself publicly.

Lan Tiancheng quite seasoned and slick, he felt conceding straightforwardly would be more dignified.

But before he could open his mouth, Gao Xuan once more carried Quick Swords that rumbled like thunder and lightning to strike, leaving him no time to speak, having to focus solely on blocking with his sword.

Their wooden swords clashed continuously, Lan Tiancheng only felt the force on Gao Xuan's sword growing stronger. He, however, seemed to be sinking into a vortex, with no way to retreat.

As their swords clashed again, Lan Tiancheng's wooden sword couldn't withstand the force and broke on the spot. Gao Xuan's wooden sword followed through, striking Lan Tiancheng's butt.

This blow was extremely powerful, with an explosion of Sword Qi launching Lan Tiancheng flying five or six meters.

Lan Tiancheng barely adjusted his body to land, already outside of the ring.

By the time his feet touched ground, the pain in his butt deprived him of feeling in his legs, if not for Yu Feiying's quick eyes and hands to support him, Lan Tiancheng would have directly fallen to the ground.

Surrounding spectators maintained a solemn silence. No one mocked Lan Tiancheng, nor did anyone cheer for Gao Xuan.

In this battle, Gao Xuan still maintained an absolute advantage. From start to finish, Lan Tiancheng didn't have many chances.

Compared to Bai Yue being defeated in a single stroke earlier, this victory was more convincing.

Lan Tiancheng took a breath, barely regaining feeling, he turned to Gao Xuan and saluted: "Your swordsmanship is superior, I am far inferior. I accept my defeat without complaint."

The opponent displayed a broad-mindedness, a demeanor befitting a valiant figure who could accept loss. This surprised Gao Xuan to some extent. Such people were not commonly seen among Noble Families.

Gao Xuan also returned the salute: "I acknowledge."

Lan Tiancheng touched his bruised and battered butt, suddenly sighed to Gao Xuan: "Friend, you were really harsh on my butt."

Gao Xuan chuckled, gracefully flourishing his sword: "Justice can only be found in the sword."

Lan Tiancheng was momentarily dumbfounded, then laughed heartily: "Indeed, justice lies within the sword, hahaha..."

He then said to Xiao Wan: "Xiao Wan, seeking revenge through others is meaningless. You should train well and avenge with your own hands, wouldn't that be satisfactory."

Xiao Ting snorted without responding. She has self-awareness. She couldn't take on Lan Tiancheng now, and would just be spanked if she went up.

Lan Tiancheng told Gao Xuan: "Brother your swordsmanship is so excellent, with limitless prospects, just don't mingle with women all day."

Gao Xuan said profoundly: "Swords make life intense, beauties make life sublime. In this world, one must not betray swords and beauties."

Lan Tiancheng appeared thoughtful: "I suddenly feel your words make a lot of sense!"
