Too fast!

Wang Junze had faced formidable opponents before, even fought against a Transformed Great Demon like Hu Qianqian!

Of course, Hu Qianqian was a Transformed Great Demon not adept in combat and was at her wits' end, so it wasn't much of a reference. However, with his strength improving, Wang Junze always believed he could spar with a Void-Breaking Powerhouse.

But now, facing Lin Yuan, Wang Junze realized acutely the gap between himself and such a master.

This was not like Luo Bingyun's suppressed realm guidance, but a true life and death struggle with all their might.

Lin Yuan moved like a ghost, so fast that Wang Junze could hardly see his form, let alone anticipate his moves.

Chess Swordsmanship was somewhat ineffective against such an opponent.

The most crucial part was that Lin Yuan didn't give him a chance to slowly get familiar and adapt.

Seizing the opportunity while Wang Junze was eroded by Cold Yin True Qi to strike again, moving shadow-like, Wang Junze had no time to react and was again sent flying, most terrifyingly, with several spikes suddenly stabbing out from the folded fan in Lin Yuan's hand, piercing fiercely into Wang Junze's abdomen!

In an instant, blood gushed!

It was fortunate that Wang Junze reacted swiftly, and his body, having been tempered, was far beyond an ordinary person's; otherwise, just this move would have disemboweled him.

Even though Wang Junze had experienced countless life-and-death battles along this journey, the peril of this fight made him break out in cold sweat!

The most important thing... this was also the first time Wang Junze was being so thoroughly overpowered, let alone winning, even defending was incredibly arduous.

The nearby disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect wanted to help, but the experts under Prince Yu brought by Lin Yuan coordinated deliberately, not giving others any chance to intervene!

Even Luo Qingxuan, surrounded by such strong enemies, couldn't spare a hand to help.

"Aren't you a prodigy? Why aren't you arrogant?"

With a cold mockery, Lin Yuan sneered at Wang Junze, "Cowering in a backwater like the Northern Domain, do you really think you're so great?"

Is Wang Junze a prodigy?

This was undoubtedly true. To stand out in the Profound Moon Sword Sect already proved Wang Junze's excellence, but looking across the world, there were others equally prodigious.

Moreover, Lin Yuan entering under Prince Yu demonstrated his own formidable talent and he was a whole Great Realm ahead of Wang Junze, naturally enough to crush him.

"Again!"

With a hint of killing intent in his eyes, Wang Junze twirled his Sword Edge, advancing instead of retreating, taking the initiative to attack Lin Yuan.

Such taunts were insignificant to Wang Junze.

The only thing he wanted was to find an opportunity to kill the opponent!

Though severely disadvantaged just now, it made Wang Junze more aware of the opponent's strength.

While strong, the opponent couldn't easily kill him.

Compared to ordinary Heaven-Stepping Realm practitioners, Wang Junze was indeed much stronger, which also gave him hope for a counterattack.

He could suffer losses countless times, but as long as he found one opportunity, he also had a chance to kill his opponent.

...

With a slight curl of her fingertips, an inaudible Divine Talisman was already grasped in Su Yuwei's palm.

Although saying she wouldn't interfere, at this moment Su Yuwei's nerves were extremely tense, watching Wang Junze injured, treading the edge of life and death, making her heart ever more resolute.

No matter what, she couldn't watch Wang Junze die before her eyes.

Even if it meant breaking the agreement with Jing Yuan and intervening personally, she was determined to save Wang Junze's life!

Indeed, at this moment, Su Yuwei's heart even bore killing intent, and even if she needed to order the Changling Army to intervene, she wouldn't let Wang Junze die.

Others couldn't sense it, but Gao Hongliang beside Su Yuwei could clearly detect the aura of the Divine Talisman.

Yet, this time he also refrained from advising Su Yuwei.

He himself was ready to act at any moment, no matter the trouble their intervention might provoke, he had to ensure the safety of this Commandery Princess, even if it meant the entire Changling Army died in the Northern Domain, he wouldn't flinch.

This was precisely what King of Changlin had entrusted him with.

...

"Puff!"

The fan's edge sliced through skin again, as if a blade was against the body, leaving scar after scar on Wang Junze.

Wang Junze could even recall exactly how many wounds he had.

Yet, regardless of the severity, Wang Junze's expression didn't change at all.

Having held out under Lin Yuan's attacks for so long, Wang Junze gradually discerned the methods of his opponent's attack.

In simple terms, what Lin Yuan was truly adept at was not attack but speed!

Because of his faster speed, there was no opportunity to counterattack, even risking using the Strangulation Sword Techniques couldn't hit him, just wasted True Qi.

Knowing this, even constantly getting injured, Wang Junze only faced Lin Yuan with common sword techniques, never attempting to burst forth!

Such a battle required utmost patience!

However, constant injuries also made Wang Junze's condition deteriorate, and if he couldn't find the right opportunity, he might be exhausted to death before he could unleash his full strength.

This couldn't go on!

In an instant, Wang Junze's mind flashed back to fighting Luo Bingyun in the Heavenly Books Space.

Luo Bingyun had always reminded him not to rely too much on Strangulation-like sword techniques, and now this battle also validated Luo Bingyun's words, facing truly powerful opponents, relying solely on one or two deadly sword techniques to win was laughable.

To truly contend with him, he needed a truly powerful Sword Dao!

Water Sword Intent!

Wang Junze's mind once again recalled the insights of the Water Sword Intent.

Previously, whether refining the Four Symbols Origin Stone or the Moon Fruit, Wang Junze's comprehension of the Water Sword Intent always seemed a little lacking, unable to achieve a fundamental breakthrough.

Even the sword technique he comprehended was just an enhancement of the Strangulation Sword, not a true breakthrough in Water Sword Intent!

Moon Fruit?!

In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck Wang Junze's mind!

He remembered that although the Four Symbols Origin Stone was depleted, he still had a Moon Fruit!

After all, during the sect competition, Wang Junze didn't obtain one, but two Moon Fruits.

Initially, Wang Junze even wanted to send a Moon Fruit to Wang Xin, but the distance was too great, and Luo Qingxuan refused to help, so the idea was dropped.

However, now, in such crisis, the Moon Fruit instead became Wang Junze's last hope.

The Moon Fruit was not just for breakthroughs, it had a tremendous effect for Enlightenment.

Now, naturally, Wang Junze could not use it for Realm-Breaking, but using it for insight into the Water Sword Intent undoubtedly held hope.

Of course, this was somewhat wasteful, but... at the brink of life and death, who could care about waste?

With this thought, a slight twist of his wrist, the Jade Box holding the Moon Fruit appeared in Wang Junze's hand, without hesitation, he crushed the Jade Box and immediately tilted his head back, swallowing the Moon Fruit whole.
