When grasping the inverted mountain sword, Tuoba's demeanor changed in an instant, as if transformed into a lofty and inaccessible mountain peak.

  There is no flaw on him at all.

  Zhang Ruochen sensed the change in Tuoba Langxiao and a fighting spirit arose within him, his blood boiling with excitement.

  Finally met a real master of swordsmanship

  Zhang Ruochen said: "My name is Zhang Ruochen, what about you?"

  "Tuoba Linsu." Tuoba Linsu understood in his heart that Zhang Ruochen had already agreed to a sword fight with him.

  The two were separated by only five steps, and at the same time they pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, entering into the best state.

  They didn't make the first move, but instead quietly observed each other, looking for weaknesses in their opponent.

  The young geniuses below the War Wu stage all started discussing.

  "Tuoba Wangzi is indeed the number one master of the young generation in Longchuan State, it's said that among the young generation in Longchuan State, no one can be his opponent. He actually took the initiative to fight against that madman from Yunwu State, truly giving that madman a lot of face." A teenage prodigy said.

  "That madman indeed has real skills, consecutively defeating Zhu Yi and Huo Ming. If not, he wouldn't be worthy of fighting against the Prince of Tuoba."

  "You didn't hear what Prince Tuoba just said? Prince Tuoba can defeat him within ten moves."

  "I think it's not necessary to have ten moves, at most three moves are enough."

  "Tuoba Linsu's swordsmanship was extremely strong and masculine, making it extremely difficult for anyone to block even one of his moves."

  "Indeed a master, unexpectedly without any flaws. Since there are no flaws, then I'll force you to reveal one."

  Suddenly, two sharp rays of light shot out from Taobaolinsi's eyes.

  The skeleton and muscles inside the body move quickly, making a "crackling" sound.

  Tuoba Linsu did not take any fancy steps, but strode towards Zhang Ruochen with large strides. Although he seemed to be walking slowly, in the blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of Zhang Ruochen.

  "Wow"

  A two-hundred-and-forty-jin Doushan Sword, like a door panel, slashed diagonally towards Zhang Ruochen.

  Without using any true energy, yet sparks of fire appeared on the sword's edge, as if it had transformed into a flame sword.

  A seemingly simple sword, yet Zhang Ruo Chen found himself unable to dodge it.

  Zhang Ruochen stabilized his lower body, using his clever strength, his arm shook, and the Soul Sword was like a spiritual snake swimming on the surface of the black giant sword, deflecting the power of the black giant sword in another direction.

  Taoyue Linsu's eyes flashed with an unusual light, and he laughed loudly: "Good"

  "Whoosh"

  Tuoba Linsu's reaction speed was quite fast, and he immediately struck down with another sword, his swordsmanship was bold and unrestrained, without any hesitation or delay.

  "Boom"

  The two men clashed in a fierce blow, and Zhang Ruochen was shocked by the powerful force, his arm numb, and his body flew out, falling to the edge of the War Wu platform.

  Although it is said that the Swordsmanship Conference compares sword skills and cannot use true energy.

  However, a powerful martial artist's physical strength will also be quite strong, and their speed will be faster than that of a lower-level martial artist, naturally giving them an advantage.

  Zhang Ruochen looked at the Shanhun Sword in his hand and found a small notch on the blade.

  Tuoba Linsu's Doushan Sword was a seventh-grade True Martial Treasure, and whether it was the material used to refine the equipment or its sharpness, it was not comparable to the fourth-grade True Martial Treasure, Shanhun Sword.

  Taotao Linsu seemed to have also seen the unfairness and said: "I choose to change swords"

  "no need"

  Zhang Ruochen stepped on the wind and flew to Taoba Rin's face in an instant, "You also take a move from me"

  So fast

  Tuoba Linsu only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and a sword shadow had already chopped to the top of his head. Under the impact of the sword wind, a painful feeling came from his head.

  "Thorn"

  Tuoba Linsu's body leaned back, his hands grasped the sword and stabbed at the air.

  Zhang Ruochen's body twisted, dodging the sword tip, and landed behind Tuoba Linsu, shouting: "Tian Xin Zhi Lu"

  Shan Hunsu's sword moved from bottom to top, drawing a straight line of sword marks, slashing towards Tuoba Linsu's back.

  Tuoba Linsu did not turn around, and the war sword stabbed backwards, like an iron shield, blocking Zhang Ruochen's slashing sword move.

  "Heh heh"

  Two swords collided fiercely, scattering sparks everywhere.

  "One sword breaks through the army and kills"

  Tuoba Lin's face suddenly turned stern, his legs sank down, and he swung his sword out in a horizontal slash.

  This sword belongs to the Ling-class intermediate swordsmanship, and Tuoba Linsu has gone through dozens of battles, killing thousands of enemies, before successfully cultivating this sword in the army.

  The sword technique is released, with the momentum of sweeping through thousands of troops.

  At this moment, the two were close at hand, facing Tuoba's sword that was sure to kill, Zhang Ruochen had no choice but to harden his heart and meet it head-on.

  This is where Tuoba Linsu's ferocity lies, he knew that Zhang Ruochen's swordsmanship had the advantage of being nimble and exquisite, so he absolutely did not give Zhang Ruochen a chance to dodge, forcing Zhang Ruochen to collide with him head-on.

  "Slap"

  Two swords clashed, emitting an ear-piercing metallic shattering sound.

  Zhang Ruochen's Soul Slayer sword was cut off, and the tip of the sword flew out.

  The originally three-foot-four-inch-long sword turned into a two-and-a-half-foot broken sword.

  However, Zhang Ruochen did not panic and remained calm and composed. He tapped his toes and quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding Tuoba Linsu's sword attack.

  "Good! Prince Tuoba is indeed the number one swordsman of the younger generation in Longchuan County, his swordsmanship is fierce, and with just eight moves, he cut off that madman's sword."

  "Also known as the number one swordsmanship in the world, it's simply unbearable in front of Tuoba Wangzi."

  Tuoba Linsu's eyes turned cold, and he glared at the two people who had just spoken, saying: "He didn't lose, his sword was just too low-grade, so it broke. Zhang Ruochen, I can lend you a sword, let's finish this match."

  Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "Who says a broken sword can't be used again? We haven't decided the winner yet. From our previous exchange, I've already seen the flaws in your swordsmanship."

  "Your swordsmanship is bold and fearless, but it's hard to sustain. Each of your moves is a single move, with no follow-up swordplay."

  "Such a swordsmanship seems to be unparalleled, with great momentum, but once I grasp the gap between the two sword moves, it's your time to lose."

  Tuoba Linsu's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Your meaning is that you only need two moves to defeat me?"

  "It's about right"

  "Hmph, even your sword is broken, yet you still dare to boast. You really have no shame." The 13th Princess said with a pout.

  Tuoba Linsu's eyes turned solemn, becoming more serious than ever before, his hands grasped the hilt of his sword and said: "One sword cuts off mountains and rivers"

  "Hehe"

  A spark of fire appeared on the blade, like a wave of flames, and slashed towards Zhang Ruochen.

  Zhang Ruochen's legs kicked out, shooting upwards, one foot stepping on the back of the heavy sword in Tuoba Linsu's hand, pressing the heavy sword down slightly.

  At the same time, Zhang Ruochen swung the broken sword in his hand and struck it at Tuoba Linsu.

  "Boom"

  Tuoba Lin Su swiftly changed his move, swinging his sword upwards to slash, and knocked the broken sword flying.

  He was just about to raise his war sword to attack Zhang Ruochen when suddenly a strong gust of wind came from the side.

  Zhang Ruochen used his palm as a sword, chopping it on Tuoba Linsu's neck, and with a loud crash, he directly knocked Tuoba Linsu to the ground.

  Rumble

  Tuoba Lin's massive body crashed heavily to the ground, and if Zhang Ruochen hadn't held back, that last blow would have broken his neck.

  Zhang Ruochen seemed very calm, picking up the broken sword on the ground and saying: "Sometimes, a sword doesn't have to be held in one's hand. Sometimes, not only the sword in one's hand is a sword."

  Awesome

  Tuoba Linsu rubbed his sore neck, feeling dizzy, but still got up from the ground and handed over the Dào Shān sword to Zhang Ruochen, saying: "I lost, as agreed, I will give you the Dào Shān sword."

  "A gentleman does not take away what others love."

  Tuoba Linsu couldn't bear to part with the Doushan Sword, but he even more didn't want to be a person without integrity. He insisted: "If you don't take the Doushan Sword, then from now on won't everyone know that I, Tuoba Linsu, am an untrustworthy and petty person?"

  His character is as straightforward as his swordsmanship.

  "Alright, I'll accept it."

  Zhang Ruochen sank into thought for a moment, then took the Dao Mountain Sword in hand. Afterwards, he handed it to Tuoba Zhenxu and said: "Now, I'm giving it back to you."

  Tuoba Linsu was taken aback for a moment, revealing a hint of a smile. He put the Doushan sword away and said, "Zhang Ruochen, thank you for sending me this sword. Don't worry, I, Tuoba Linsu, will definitely return a sword to you."

  Tuoba Lin Su walked down the Martial Arts Platform, and on the second floor of Jin Feng's building, there were many noble ladies throwing golden jade leaves onto the platform.

  Upon closer inspection, there were over ten golden leaves.

  "The Right Prime Minister's residence, with smoke and mist dancing."

  "General's Mansion, Si Kong Yan Er."

  "Taishi Fu, Zhao Xuan."

  Watching the golden leaves fall like rain, those young geniuses were all consumed with jealousy.

  If only I had let Zhang Ruochen leave earlier, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Now, he has defeated three top masters in a row, even Taobao Linsu was defeated by him, and won the favor of countless noble ladies.

  He only needs to casually pick up a golden leaf from the ground and he will get the support of a powerful force later. This opportunity is not available to everyone.

  "How detestable! This guy is actually quite formidable." The Thirteenth Young Mistress felt a bit miscalculated, what if he won the first place in the Swordsmanship Competition? Would she still have to marry him?

  Liu Xin, standing beside him, saw the dissatisfaction of the Thirteen Counties' Master towards Zhang Ruochen and smiled: "Master of the Counties, I am willing to take action and defeat him. It's just that I don't know if Master has any other requirements, such as cutting off one of his legs or crippling his cultivation."

  Ryū Shinnosuke is a pupil of Ryūsō, and has received an order from him to win the first place in the Jiken tournament and marry the 13th princess.

  The thirteenth young mistress looked at Liu Xin with a glance, revealing a joyful expression, and said: "It's not necessary to break his legs or ruin his cultivation. As long as you can thoroughly humiliate that bastard, this young mistress will heavily reward you."

  "I will definitely not let the young lady down."

  Liu Xin's gaze turned towards Zhang Ruochen on the War Wu stage, his eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of coldness.
