From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"What kind of Sword Intent is this! It seemed utterly ordinary, but I didn't expect it to actually slice through Tiandao Sword Sect's Phosphorescent Nine Swords!"

"This isn't just slicing! It's clearly melting the Nine Sword Qi into thin air!"

...

Xia Fu Lan's facial expression kept twitching; in her eyes, a strike that even someone at the Early Stage of Yingyue Realm couldn't dodge, was so easily resolved by Fang Ren.

"I refuse to believe it! No matter how strong your Sword Intent is, can it really defend against attacks from all directions at once!"

Xia Fu Lan, holding the Jade Water Linglong Sword in her hand, traced a golden streak across the sky with her figure, and in that moment, erupted with hundreds of Sword Qi from her body, like an enormously huge pair of wings.

Without a word, Fang Ren grabbed the supreme Sword Intent in front of him, directly transforming it into a blade. His feet shifted, and a red aura drew a red light behind him.

Hu——

The two enormous wings behind Xia Fu Lan, formed from hundreds of swords, aimed a strike at Fang Ren's head, but Fang Ren's supreme Sword Intent was unstoppable, cleaving right through the sword wings coming towards him.

Immediately after, Fang Ren, without any hesitation, chopped the other wing as well, and in an instant, the sky was filled with longswords raining down from Xia Fu Lan's sword wings.

"Idiotic!"

Seeing this, a smile surfaced on Xia Fu Lan's face. With a rotation of True Qi in her body, her figure quickly retreated backward, and the Jade Water Linglong Sword in her hand shone brightly at that moment, beginning to absorb Spiritual Energy from the air around it.

Fang Ren immediately followed, but it was clear Xia Fu Lan wasn't retreating with her full strength; it seemed like she was luring him to attack.

Fang Ren immediately stopped the pursuit, planning to switch to using Empty Ming Sword for long-range attacks, but at that moment, the longswords scattered on the ground from her shattered sword wings, suddenly stood erect with their tips pointing in all directions, aiming for him.

"Although your Sword Intent is strong, I don't believe you can defend against the whole body!"

Xia Fu Lan's True Qi suddenly surged, and the longswords lifted into the sky wrapped in blue True Qi, completely surrounding Fang Ren.

These hundreds of swords formed a formation that the audience outside could not see Fang Ren through the dense mesh of longswords; they could only faintly discern a shadow between the gaps of the swords.

"Storm Air Slash!"

From inside the circle of swords, Fang Ren's voice could be heard. Immediately after, streaks of white light surged out from the group of swords that tightly surrounded him, and the surrounding blades began to shatter rapidly.

"This Half-step Moon-shining Realm Peak really is somewhat tricky."

Inside the group of swords, Fang Ren swiftly wielded the supreme Sword Intent in his hand, smacking his lips in his mind.

Originally, he had wanted to draw out a few massive Empty Ming Swords to split all these blades, but alas, now with Xia Fu Lan unleashing her full strength, his Empty Ming Sword simply could not impact the group of swords.

And the supreme Sword Intent in his hand, although it was a product of the peak of the sword path's peak, possessing the ability to cut through all things, was regrettably too small in size.

Even though Fang Ren's Realm was already at the Peak of the Blue Sky, he could only condense the supreme Sword Intent to about one meter, showing how tremendous the needed energy was and the difficulty of activating it.

And as for Xia Fu Lan, she was, after all, nearly three small Realms higher than Fang Ren; when the power disparity was too great, it was impossible to compensate with technique.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

The supreme Sword Intent in Fang Ren's hand kept cleaving the longswords around him, but the supreme Sword Intent was after all still too short to completely intercept the other longswords in their flight.

As the swarm of swords in the sky continued their assault, Fang Ren's momentum instantly plummeted, his shoulders and legs already cut by many of these blue blades, blood beginning to drip. The dense array of longswords below terrified the onlookers.

The pressure was so great that Fang Ren had no time to use any other cultivation techniques; his only option was to sever all of the longswords in order to escape.

"Fang Ren, no matter how powerful your swordsmanship is, what use is it if you can't wield it?"

Xia Fu Lan's longsword was still drawing spiritual energy from the heavens and earth, for she was well aware of Fang Ren's strength. She knew that it was virtually impossible to completely defeat Fang Ren with these sword swarms, so she was already preparing her decisive, winning strike.

However, what she didn't realize was that within Fang Ren's field of vision, he had every move of hers under control.

Bang, bang, bang—

The swarm of swords in the sky had been reduced to a mere thirty percent by Fang Ren, his shoulders and calves covered with wounds. Thankfully, the muscles and bones were not damaged.

Before Fang Ren could deal with the final thirty percent of flying swords, Xia Fu Lan suddenly raised her Jade Water Linglong Sword. The massive amount of nature's spiritual energy gathered atop it erupted at that moment, shooting a blue beam of light straight towards Fang Ren's chest.

At that moment, still entangled by the remaining thirty percent of longswords and faced with the sudden blue light, he had only two choices: continue dealing with the entangling flying swords and inevitably get struck by the blue light, or use the supreme Sword Intent to cleave the blue light, but Xia Fu Lan would surely continue to channel True Qi to suppress him to the point where he couldn't move the supreme Sword Intent, leaving him to be stabbed in the back by the flying swords.

It couldn't be helped; Xia Fu Lan's rotation of True Qi was too fast, and his realm couldn't keep up.

"Sword Shield!"

Fang Ren chose to continue severing the entangling flying swords while summoning a Sword Shield behind him to block the opponent's blue assault.

Boom—

The Sword Shield was flattened by the blue light, slamming hard against Fang Ren's back.

Fang Ren turned into a beam of red light, crashing down onto the center of the venue, instantly creating a cloud of smoke and a crater three feet deep.

Mu Huanqing's True Qi was already surging; if Xia Fu Lan didn't know when to stop, she wouldn't hesitate to slam Xia Fu Lan into the ground, sticking her in the mud where no amount of digging could extricate her.

"Young Master Fang... has he lost?"

"The suppression of the realms is too strong. After all, Princess Fulan's strength is infinitely close to the peak of the Yingyue Realm; there's just one realm difference compared to the Xuanyang realm."

"Indeed, any technique is but a floating cloud in the face of absolute power."

...

Looking at the pit below shrouded in smoke, Xia Fu Lan snorted coldly, sheathed her Jade Water Linglong Sword, and said to the president of the association, "President, you can announce the result now."

She was confident in the sword strike she'd just delivered. Although it didn't sever Fang Ren's legs, it surely shattered his breastbone into eight pieces.

The president watched and slightly furrowed his brow; he decided to wait for the smoke on the field to clear before making a judgment.

Inside the smoky crater, Fang Ren expressionlessly touched his chest which seemed to have caved in slightly, probably indicating that all his ribs were broken.

"This body... the more injured, the more excited it gets; it's troublesome."

Fang Ren withdrew his supreme Sword Intent and slowly rose from the crater, the red aura around his body flaring even more intensely.

This pain was negligible compared to the fight at Linglong Bay; at least that fight made him feel somewhat itchy.
