CHAPTER 477: CHAPTER 477, A STUNNING SWORD

He was certain that Chu Ming’s Sword Dao Realm was something he had never seen before.

Martial artists who could comprehend the Heart Sword Realm were as rare as phoenix feathers on the continent, so there were very few records about the Heart Sword Realm.

"Among the swordsmen I’ve met, your Sword Dao Cultivation is enough to rank first, not even Wang Xuanyi can match you. But in the tea ceremony battle, the final victory is not decided by Sword Dao Cultivation alone!"

Fang Zhou’s eyes flashed with astonishing light as he glanced at his torn sleeve.

"Let’s wait and see then!"

Chu Ming’s figure did not stop, his Heart Sword Intent soaring. The Star Trace Sword in his hand drew a circular arc, directly forming a circular light wave that slashed towards Fang Zhou!

"Flying Fire Dark Heaven Slash!"

Swoosh!

Fang Zhou shouted, brandishing his black longsword at supersonic speed. The Sword Force erupted, and a black Flowing Flame Sword Light, mixed with countless sharp edges, swept horizontally towards Chu Ming.

Whoosh...

The two sword lights flashed and disappeared in an instant. Their control over Spiritual Power and Sword Intent had reached the Transformation Realm; there was no waste of Spiritual Power in their sword techniques.

Clang clang clang...

The two fought again, their movements dazzling and overwhelming the spectators.

Fang Zhou’s sword became increasingly terrifying, but Chu Ming could always evade it in advance and counterattack at a tricky angle with his Star Trace Sword.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, facing one of Fang Zhou’s strikes, Chu Ming shouted, his body soaring, wielding the Star Trace Sword in a seemingly casual manner. This strike made Fang Zhou feel an overwhelming sense of imminent defeat.

"Damn it! That feeling again!"

Fang Zhou cursed inwardly, but his sword did not hesitate. In a flash, he raised his longsword with his right hand, his muscles bulging, reaching the peak of his power and spirit in an instant.

Boom!

Fang Zhou slashed out, and the black sword light shot straight to the sky, forming a pillar of light as thick as one person could embrace, spinning towards Chu Ming.

Crack!

However, the moment the Star Trace Sword touched the black light pillar, the pillar was instantly severed, turning into countless star points and dissipating in midair, causing the audience to exclaim in shock.

Whoosh...

A hot, scarlet blood sprayed from the bottom of the Star Trace Sword, and Fang Zhou instinctively retreated, but this time, he was not as lucky as before, spitting out a mouthful of blood midair.

Whoosh!

Dressed in a black robe, Fang Zhou stopped, a one-inch-deep sword mark extending from his waist at the front all the way to his back. If he had been half a step slower, he would have been dead on the spot.

"Terrifying, Chu Ming’s sword is truly terrifying!"

"Among the young swordsmen present now, only the Hundred Sword Young Master Wang Xuanyi has yet to make a move. I am now looking forward to their battle."

"After so long, finally, someone is challenging the Four Great Heroes!"

The situation was already clear; Fang Zhou was simply not Chu Ming’s match. Chu Ming’s ranking in the Profound List could at least be in the top five.

"Your sword is indeed terrifying, but when you encounter him, you will inevitably be defeated."

After taking a deep breath, Fang Zhou looked at Wang Xuanyi and said to Chu Ming softly.

"It’s up to man to make it happen!"

Chu Ming responded, neither affirming nor denying. He would not underestimate himself, thinking he was inferior to the Four Great Heroes; otherwise, the distance between him and them would only grow. At least for now, he still had cards up his sleeve.

Having pushed the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique to Eleventh Layer, the Sword Essence Power in his Sea of Spiritual Power was not large but enough to support his battle for a quarter of an hour. Once the Sword Essence Power was used, his destructive power could increase by at least three to four times in a short time, and he also had the Blood Burning Technique. Although the Blood Burning Technique was for desperate times, he would use it if absolutely necessary.

Fang Zhou said no more, turning and leaping back to the seat originally belonging to Chu Ming.

Chu Ming’s gaze swept over the seats of the Four Great Heroes. Instead of remaining in the air of the tea ceremony battle, he too returned to his seat. Now, his only opponents left were the Four Great Heroes.

"Chu Ming is truly a freak!"

Gu Mu’s lips curled into a bitter smile. Fang Zhou could defeat him, and it seemed Fang Zhou had not used his full power; then Chu Ming’s victory over Fang Zhou made his defeat by Chu Ming all the more inevitable.

Swoosh!

"Celestial Light Domain Fire Fox, who would dare challenge?"

A fiery red figure shot out from below Chu Ming’s seat, revealing a young man in a red robe with a proud expression.

Swoosh!

"Let me face you!"

Seated below, Zuo Fenglei lightly patted the table, vaulting into the air, quickly stopping opposite the Fire Fox.

"This person seems to have come with Chu Ming!"

"His name is Zuo Fenglei. I’ve seen him near the border of the Sword Domain and Thunder Marsh Domain at the bandit’s lair."

"Fire Fox is after all a young hero on the Profound List, ranking exactly one hundred. Zuo Fenglei can’t defeat him."

The audience discussed with interest as they saw the new contestant.

Chu Ming frowned. Although Zuo Fenglei was at Guiyuan Realm Third Layer, in terms of combat power he was at best unbeatable at Guiyuan Realm Sixth Layer. However, Fire Fox’s combat strength was akin to a slightly weaker Guiyuan Realm Seventh Layer expert. Zuo Fenglei had little chance of winning.

Boom!

Fire Fox struck out, sending a scorching and violent Flame Fist Force directly at Zuo Fenglei. The heat waves rolled as Zuo Fenglei wielded his black longsaber, the saber light flashing, his black robe fluttering sharply in the air.

But Zuo Fenglei was ultimately at a disadvantage in terms of combat power. After barely a hundred moves, he was forced into a losing position, struggling to hold on.

Boom!

After a collision, Zuo Fenglei’s body suddenly retreated, leaping away from under Fire Fox’s attack. With both hands gripping his saber, a brilliant white saber light burst from his longsaber like an enraged dragon.

"Wind Shadow Illusion Killing Saber!"

As the saber light emerged, it instantly drained the air in front of Zuo Fenglei, spiritual power evaporating, creating wind waves in the air. The terrifying saber light made people instinctively shut their eyes.

"Blast Fire Fist!"

Fire Fox’s mouth showed a hint of cold light, punching out, the entire sky turning fiery red like a blazing cloud, the violent energy rampaging in his hand.

The gray turbulent flow rolled, a black shadow flying out of the wind waves, spitting a mouthful of blood midair.

It was Zuo Fenglei, a bitter smile on his lips. In the Celestial Realm, he was a favored genius, but here, he was ordinary. The blow to his confidence was massive.

Swoosh!

After Zuo Fenglei, two more challenged the Celestial Light Domain Fire Fox—Yao Ning from Canglan Domain and Gao Ming from Broken Dome Domain, but both ended in defeat.
