Chapter 223 - A Single Slash

Many people were watching closely, thinking that Jiang Lan was going to lose just like that.

Even the summit leaders didn’t think Jiang Lan could win.

They merely wanted to see how long he could last.

But at this moment, Jiang Lan moved.

His sword moved with him, as if it had disappeared from everyone’s eyes.

Seeing Jiang Lan suddenly disappear, Ao Man was stunned. The feeling of the other party disappearing was a little strange, as if it didn’t match the aura around him.

The opponent’s follow-up attack should not have suddenly disappeared.

However, he quickly caught sight of Jiang Lan and didn’t dare to underestimate him. He gripped his halberd tightly and began to attack.

However, his opponent’s attack was faster.

Sword light appeared in front of him, and he could only defend himself.

Clang!

Sword light flashed, and Jiang Lan’s figure vanished once again.

Ao Man was still able to capture Jiang Lan’s attack, and it was behind him.

He brandished his halberd, wishing to face the other party head-on.

Clang!

The power vanished as the sword beam flickered erratically.

He once again failed to interrupt his opponent’s attack.

Yes, the opponent’s attacks came one after another. He had to think of a way to break this attack.

Otherwise, he would be at a disadvantage.

But…

It was too fast. He needed a breath of time.

Only then would he be able to pull away and regain the initiative.

He was still underestimating his opponent. He should have acted faster just now.

At this moment, everyone could see the light flickering. They could see the force crashing into the square and Ao Man defending against Jiang Lan’s attack.

In an instant, all of them were slightly surprised because the situation had suddenly turned around?

The Ninth Summit had the upper hand?

…

“Defying Seven Stars.” At the peak of the Ninth Summit, Jiu Zhongtian, who was originally drinking, suddenly stopped.

He thought that Jiang Lan was going to lose, but he didn’t expect the other party to use the move Defying Seven Stars.

This was not something that could be learned through hard work.

One needed to comprehend the sword and the sword technique itself to master this move.

One also needed constant polishing. All of these factors were indispensable.

Jiang Lan actually knew of this move, and there wasn’t the slightest bit of unfamiliarity. This was something he had learned for a long time.

It was also because this move was somewhat contrary to normal sword techniques that he could catch his opponent off guard.

Moreover, the speed of the move Defying Seven Stars was absolutely not something that the ordinary Seven Stars Sword could compare to.

As long as it wasn’t blocked, the outcome would be decided.

At this moment, Jiu Zhongtian suddenly had a feeling that Jiang Lan might be able to win.

Forget about him, even Ao Li and the others’ expressions became serious.

The sudden change prevented them from mocking Jiang Lan anymore.

Perhaps after this wave of attacks was over, they might continue.

But they weren’t in the mood for that now.

Mo Zhengdong and the others did not speak either. They were waiting for the outcome.

They wanted to see if Jiang Lan had more possibilities.

The sword light was like a rainbow, like thunder, like lightning, interweaving like a gauze net, covering Ao Man.

Ao Man’s speed was extremely fast. He transformed into lightning and circled around Jiang Lan.

He felt that it was soon time for his opponent’s sword move to end. He just needed to block another strike.

“On the left.”

Ao Man felt a sword aura appear beside him. He brandished his halberd in a bid to block the final strike.

However, just as he was about to attack from the left, a figure appeared on his right.

The original sword aura suddenly turned and arrived beside the figure.

This…

The next moment, the sword appeared at the side of his neck and slashed across his neck.

Ao Man’s pupils constricted. At this moment, a life and death crisis appeared in his heart.

The sword touched Ao Man’s neck. Jiang Lan’s figure passed by him and the long sword slashed across.

A sword to the throat.

However, as the sword blade slashed across, the sword that had originally sunk into his flesh was suddenly squeezed out. Flames appeared under the sword.

Dragon scales had appeared on Ao Man’s neck.

His neck was covered by dragon scales.

Not only that, Ao Man’s arms and face were covered by dragon scales.

When the sword light streaked past, Ao Man didn’t stop at all. He brandished his halberd, summoning a storm to attack Jiang Lan.

Boom!

Jiang Lan also slashed down with his sword.

Bang!

A huge collision exploded between them.

Jiang Lan was forced back, and then his longsword slowly descended.

Ao Man also leaped back a few steps and landed steadily on the ground. He held the halberd and looked towards Jiang Lan’s position.

Lightning sparked around him.

A dragon phantom appeared beside him.

His strongest battle state was directly displayed.

At this moment, a drop of blood fell from his neck.

This was from the injury he had just suffered.

At this moment, the surroundings of the Ninth Summit suddenly became silent.

There were thousands of people around, but there was no sound at all.

Even the sounds of the leaves rustling could be heard.

At this moment, everyone returned to their senses. They were in disbelief.

Or rather, if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed what had just happened at all.

The Senior Brother of the Ninth Summit almost won?

The innate immortal is injured?

This…

“Hey, didn’t you say that the Ninth Summit’s Senior Brother’s power was forcefully raised? Who can tell me whether what happened just now was considered normal or not? That’s right. Can someone explain it to me? That throat-sealing sword just now, can it be done with a hand?”

“Luck. The Eighth Prince of the Dragon Race must have been careless and gave Senior Brother Ninth Summit a chance.”

“Why do I feel like you’re prejudiced? That sword was truly marvelous. It is simply not something that an ordinary person could unleash.”

“Thank goodness I came. I knew that if the Ninth Summit turned the tables around, those who didn’t come would regret it again.”

“So far, Senior Brother Ninth Summit has the upper hand, right?”

The crowd was in an uproar.

This battle was not considered high-end. Most people could understand and see clearly what had just happened.

That was why everyone saw Jiang Lan’s final sword strike which almost slit the dragon’s throat.

“I suddenly feel that if the Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit is on the same level as us already…” Lin Siya felt that it was very dangerous.

Because it would take a long time for them to advance further, Jiang Lan would surely be able to catch up to their cultivation level after some time.

According to the normal pace of his advancement.

“Didn’t I say it previously?” Jing Ting’s face was also covered in cold sweat.

That strike just now had simply exceeded his understanding.

There wasn’t such a move in Seven Stars Sword right?

Mu Xiu also thought about it. If it was her, this sword strike could have heavily injured her.

The Ninth Summit’s Junior Brother was indeed different from the rumors. Although he had used resources to increase his cultivation, his path was very stable.

“Splendid, how wonderful.” Lu Jian looked down and sighed.

“The Defying Seven Stars is too powerful. In the entire Kunlun, there aren’t many who can use the Defying Seven Stars to such an extent.”

“It’s indeed very interesting, but I don’t think he can use it again right?” Lin An looked down at the plaza with a calm expression.

“It’s now pretty tough for the Junior brother of the Ninth Summit.”

“These are all foreplay. The main show will come later.” Lu Jian smiled and said.

“We can experience the power of the Dragon Slaying Sword.”

That’s right, Jiang Lan hadn’t used the Dragon Slaying Sword yet.

On the top of the Ninth Summit, Ao Li looked down with some shock.

He almost acted just now.

Mo Zhengdong and the others were also shocked.

Miao Yue looked over and realized that Mo Zhengdong, who was Jiang Lan’s master, also did not know that his disciple was so outstanding.

That’s right, no one thought that Jiang Lan would win from the start.

But now…

They were not sure if the Eighth Prince would win.

There were now more possibilities.
