"Nonsense! Our sect and the Profound Moon Sword Sect are both among the Four Great Celestial Sects, our relationship is closely knit, it's merely a minor competition, how could it possibly result in a life-and-death battle?"

Before Wang Junze could speak, Liu Wangchuan coldly reprimanded.

"Elder Liu, he is too weak. If I go all out, it would be easy to make a mistake. But if we fight, I would have to restrain myself... so then what's the point of fighting, might as well let me surrender directly." Yang Junjie retreated to advance, complaining carelessly.

"That won't do either. The other's realm is inherently inferior to yours, and you still want a life-and-death battle, isn't that just intimidation?" Liu Wangchuan rebuked again.

However, these words didn't seem like a genuine reprimand, but rather like incitement.

For a moment, several disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect couldn't help but look a bit grim.

These disciples of the Four Symbols Sect are indeed somewhat bullying, but Wang Junze's realm is indeed much weaker. Agreeing to such a life-and-death battle on impulse would be too dangerous.

"Okay!"

Unexpectedly, without waiting for anyone else to speak, Wang Junze directly agreed.

Just at that moment, Wang Junze truly sensed a hint of murder in the opponent's eyes, igniting his own killing intent as well.

Without considering that the Four Symbols Sect might be related to Prince Yu, just that trace of killing intent from the opponent made Wang Junze unwilling to let him go.

Moreover, it's apparent that the Four Symbols Sect is deliberately provoking, trying to escalate the matter, so it would be better to teach them a lesson right from the start. Life-and-death combat might be unfamiliar to other disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, but for Wang Junze, it is something he has long become accustomed to.

Can a life-and-death battle restrict his strength? No, it was competitions like the previous sect martial arts tournament that really made Wang Junze hold back.

With a profound look in his eyes, Zhou Dongfei remained silent for several breaths before calmly responding, "Fine, since they are willing, then let it be a life-and-death battle!"

Zhou Dongfei's answer, instead, gave Liu Wangchuan a sense of unease.

Originally, he merely wanted to force Wang Junze to give in, to dissolve the fighting spirit of others from the Profound Moon Sword Sect, making it easier to negotiate terms afterwards. Yet unexpectedly, Zhou Dongfei didn't try to stop it!

Isn't Wang Junze supposed to be this Sect Leader Zhou Dongfei's closed-door disciple?

How can he be so certain that Wang Junze will definitely win?

Nonetheless, with the matter at such a stage, even Liu Wangchuan found it inappropriate to stop it again.

On the contrary, Luo Qingxuan's eyes showed a hint of nervousness, not because she doubted Wang Junze's strength, but because when it's concerning life and death, a shred of worry would arise instinctively.

However, after giving it a thought, Luo Qingxuan couldn't help but relax a bit.

No matter the rules, if Wang Junze were truly in mortal danger, she wouldn't care about any life-and-death battle and would definitely step in to save him.

With a subtle flick of her wrist, the Profound Ice Sword was in his grasp, and Wang Junze, with a calm demeanor, walked to the open area beside.

This isn't Wang Junze's first time facing a Heaven-Stepping Realm expert!

Moreover, in this past half year, Wang Junze hasn't wasted even a bit of time. Though outsiders may not know how much he has improved, he himself is very clear; after reading through so many Sword Manuals, his Sword Dao has reached another level. Unless the opponent can completely overpower the true inheritors of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, Wang Junze genuinely feels no substantial pressure.

In fact, Wang Junze feels a vague sense of excitement!

The Four Symbols Sect, being one of the Four Great Celestial Sects, the opponent's prodigious disciples nearly represent the finest geniuses of this realm. Wang Junze is also keen to witness how formidable the Four Symbols Sect disciples really are!

"There really is someone who isn't afraid of death!"

Eyeing Wang Junze, Yang Junjie showed a disdainful smile, mocking again, "Wang Junze, do you have any last words?"

"I can consider this your last words."

Raising his head, Wang Junze replied indifferently.

As he spoke, Wang Junze took a step forward, his sword suddenly thrusting out, directly deploying the second move, Laozi, of the Chess Swordsmanship!

Mockery aside, Wang Junze took his opponent seriously in his heart and chose to strike first!

"Competing in speed? You're not even worth considering!"

Seeing Wang Junze make a move, Yang Junjie's disdain grew heavier.

Know that he cultivates the Cyan Dragon Dharma Aspect, especially adept at speed!

In a breath's moment, the aura of wind manifested from Yang Junjie, as he slightly grasped his palm, a long spear suddenly appeared in his hand, his whole being transforming like a gentle breeze, countering back at an even faster pace!

As the spear struck, all the disciples from Profound Moon Sword Sect couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Wang Junze!

Too fast!

To reiterate, during the previous sect martial arts tournament, Wang Junze excelled in using speed against speed, yet such a combat method seems naturally restrained by the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect who cultivated the Cyan Dragon Dharma Aspect!

If given the choice, Wang Junze should pick an opponent cultivating the Black Tortoise Dharma Aspect, it would seemingly be easier and safer to win.

Unfortunately, this time the opponent didn't offer Wang Junze the liberty of selecting his adversary.

Speed?

In the eyes of others, Yang Junjie's spear is unquestionably fast, given that he has perceived the Power of Wind, but to Wang Junze, this speed is yet to surpass the capacity of his handling!

During the past six months at the Scripture Repository, Wang Junze has reviewed over a hundred Sword Manuals, among which many swordsmanship focused on utilizing speed to triumph.

He initially attempted to cultivate such swordsmanship, thus naturally knowing how to counteract it.

Though Yang Junjie uses a spear, from a certain perspective, there is essentially no substantial difference between spear and sword.

At least at the current level, the manner of coping is identical!

Anticipation!

The true essence of the Chess Swordsmanship lies not in a direct hard clash, but in predicting the opponent's attack, conserving strength to deliver the most efficient counter!

"Ding!"

Their actions were so swift that the crowd, even unable to discern what exactly transpired, saw Wang Junze's Sword Edge accurately deflect the spear's point.

How powerful!

What kind of swordsmanship is this?

Unlike the others, Yang Junjie understood very well how difficult it is to intercept this spear!

In terms of speed, Wang Junze was naturally far from matching him, yet somehow effortlessly blocked this spear, an anomaly in itself!

Yang Junjie was indeed familiar with the Profound Moon Sword Technique, yet Wang Junze's execution wasn't of the Profound Moon Sword Technique but entirely new sword techniques he hadn't seen before!

In such a heated battle, Yang Junjie naturally had no spare thoughts to ponder how Wang Junze did it, instinctively altering his moves to attack with even greater speed.

Unfortunately, this reaction was already within Wang Junze's anticipation!

The sword techniques smoothly transitioned into the layout!

It's no exaggeration to say, though Yang Junjie's strikes grew increasingly rapid, since Wang Junze parried the first spear, the scales of victory have already started tipping towards him.
