Chapter 1962: He Is the Inner Sect's Number One

"Swish..."

His head hit the ground, bounced once, and Wang Jiandong's eyes bulged as if they would pop out.

Even at the moment of death, he couldn't believe it was real.

He had already activated his sword intent and executed his sword technique, thinking that no matter what, the guy opposite would have to find a way to defend, and then... they would exchange several rounds!

But the result... the moment the other made a move, he saw his own toes, and then... naturally, there was no 'then.'

How the other drew his sword, and how he was killed... he had no idea!

A sword this fast... was he even human?

Lu Jie, I'm sorry... I wanted to probe his moves to give you a reference, but it seems... with my strength, in his eyes, I'm no different from a vegetable standing still as a target.

Full of frustration, Wang Jiandong turned into a speck of light and vanished. Liu Lujie below the stage twitched an eyebrow, his vision went dark, and he nearly fainted on the spot.

This was the Inner Sect's third-ranked powerhouse...

Killed in one move, without even seeing the attack...

How did he do it?

Could I block a sword this fast?

In an instant, he fell into deep thought.

It seemed... he really couldn't!

"I understand..."

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Liu Lujie's fighting spirit burned even stronger.

As the Inner Sect's number one, his mental fortitude was extraordinary; there was no way he would concede before even engaging.

"Jiandong, you didn't die in vain. Although you didn't force him to use his ultimate move, I... have figured out the flaws and weaknesses in his technique!"

He clenched his fists, his internal energy seething, and the fighting spirit in his eyes blazed like a furnace.

This guy before him, his so-called ultimate move, actually had only one thing... speed!

So fast that people couldn't react!

If I'm not mistaken, he must have comprehended the 'True Essence of Speed' in the way of the sword.

In the world of martial arts, nothing is unbreakable; only speed is invincible!

Just now, I was too focused on wondering what kind of technique he was using, but I didn't realize he actually had only one move—speed, faster, fastest!

As long as speed reached the extreme, even an expert like Wang Jiandong would have his throat slit in an instant and die on the spot.

"There's only one way to counter a fast sword: strike first. If he's fast... I'll be faster!"

Knowing the opponent's weakness, Liu Lujie already had a method and answer to counter it.

To counter a fast sword, defense was certainly impossible. There was only one way: match speed with speed. If he was fast, he himself had to be faster, forcing the opponent to defend and thus truly reveal his flaws.

Closing his eyes, he reviewed his sword techniques and attack methods in his mind. Liu Lujie felt that if he executed them, his chance of winning was over seventy percent, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

While he was deliberating, more than twenty people had charged onto the stage in succession, all without exception beheaded on the spot, each unable to last even a single breath!

At this moment, everyone was trembling.

In less than three minutes, this 'I'm Very Low-Key' on the stage had already killed no fewer than forty people, including at least seven ranked in the top hundred, and one of them was the third-ranked Wang Jiandong...

So many people hadn't inflicted a single wound on him, and they still couldn't even see how he executed his sword technique or killed people!

Earlier, everyone thought that with a human wave tactic, they could surely kill him, but now... they were all afraid!

In everyone's eyes, this guy wasn't human at all; he was a harvester of lives!

Whenever he struck, a head would fall!

No matter how many came, it was useless!

"Everyone, don't panic. He's just one person. We outnumber him. Even if we stand here and let him kill, how many can he kill?"

Seeing the morale sink, Liu Lujie shouted loudly.

"Yeah... he's just one person!"

"We can't lose, or where will the face of the Inner Sect disciples be?"

"If we really lose, losing money is a small matter; we'll definitely face the sect's punishment and sanctions..."

...

Hearing his shout, everyone suddenly understood and their fighting spirit blazed again.

"Everyone, he's actually just fast. Killing him isn't as complicated as you think; just be faster than him!" Liu Lujie raised his eyebrows and slowly walked toward the stage. "I'll kill him now and show you all that the Inner Sect also has experts!"

Everyone present was an expert. Hearing this, they suddenly understood and had a moment of realization.

Yeah, if he's fast, then we'll be faster, and we'll surely kill him!

A fast sword, though formidable, also consumes a lot of stamina. How long can he maintain it?

"To see this at a glance, this friend is also an expert!"

"I wonder if he can defeat this 'I'm Very Low-Key'!"

"Even if he can't, now that we know he only uses a fast sword, it'll be easier to deal with him..."

...

Seeing Liu Lujie walk up the steps, everyone made way, nodding to themselves.

Liu Lujie was now using a new Divine Communication Jade Talisman, and his alias was different, so no one connected him with the Inner Sect's number one!

"Fast sword?"

Seeing this newcomer so confident, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

What fast sword was this?

It was just the most ordinary sword move from the sword intent he had comprehended earlier.

A true fast sword... even a physical body at the First Level of the Ancient Sage couldn't withstand it, let alone execute it!

The stronger the sword intent, the higher the demands on true energy, body, and soul.

For instance, the one captured by the Book of Heaven's Path... if truly unleashed, even a peak Fourth Level Ancient Sage couldn't bear it!

So, at present, he could only bring out a tiny fraction of its power!

However, even though he had only used a little power, the fact that the other could discern the secret of the fast sword and find the problem in such a short time meant he was probably no weak expert.

But his current body was too poor to waste energy, and he was pressed for time. Even in battle, he couldn't go easy; he had to finish quickly.

"Let's begin!"

These thoughts spinning in his mind, Liu Lujie had already reached the stage and shook his longsword.

Whoosh!

Man and sword merged into one, turning into a swift whirlwind, while the tip of the sword emitted a sound like thunder as it thrust toward Zhang Xuan.

"So fast!"

"This move looks familiar, like I've seen it somewhere..."

"It's the Thunderclap Sword Technique!"

"Legend has it that the senior who created this sword move was inspired by lightning and thunder in the sky. When he struck, the sword was as fast as lightning and as shocking as thunder..."

"This sword technique ranks in the top three in the Inner Sect, but it's too difficult. Countless people have tried to learn it and failed; only one person succeeded..."

"Could it be that the person on stage is..."

...

Seeing the sword technique on stage, so fast that people couldn't react, the crowd below erupted.

This sword technique, in the entire sect, only Senior Brother Liu Lujie had mastered it. The identity of the one executing it on stage was basically confirmed!

Unable to stand this guy's arrogance, the Inner Sect's number one had personally stepped in!

"He's dead for sure..."

"With Senior Brother Lujie personally making a move, even escaping is impossible..."

Everyone's eyes lit up, each one excited and thrilled.

Senior Brother Liu Lujie, in their hearts, was an undefeated legend. He had held the Inner Sect's number one spot for seven consecutive years, never once challenged!

With such a powerhouse personally acting, this 'I'm Very Low-Key' would probably be killed soon and couldn't be so arrogant anymore!

"Still not moving? Looking for death..."

On stage, Liu Lujie ignored the crowd below who had recognized him, focusing entirely on executing his sword technique.

Sword energy howled, and in an instant, he crossed the dozen meters. The 'I'm Very Low-Key' opposite stood motionless, as if scared stiff or unable to react.

He was so fast, and the other didn't move at all. It seemed he had guessed right... his technique was countered just like this!

Victory was certain!

Swish!

This thought was still spinning in his mind when suddenly his head hurt.

He quickly looked up and saw the other's longsword, appearing before him at some point, the blade placed at an unavoidable position on his path, waiting for him to crash into it.

"Ah???"

Too fast to turn around, before he could speak, Liu Lujie felt his vision go black, and his head was split in two by the sword, cleaved cleanly in half.

Thud!

The corpse fell to the ground.

"Next!"

Splitting Liu Lujie in half with one move, Zhang Xuan glanced around.

The other was quite fast, so he simply placed his sword in advance at the spot the other would pass... and the result was that the other crashed right into it, making it even easier to kill than the others.

"Senior Brother Liu Lujie was cleaved in one sword strike?"

"The key is... he didn't expend any true energy at all. He just held the sword, found the right spot, and swung?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be matching speed with speed?"

The crowd below trembled again, everyone on the verge of collapse.

The Inner Sect's number one, and he killed him as easily as killing a chicken, with no difficulty at all. Just how powerful was this 'I'm Very Low-Key'?

"What's wrong? No one coming up? Is everyone conceding?"

After killing Liu Lujie, seeing the dead silence around with no one answering, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but frown.

When he killed that Wang Jiandong earlier, it wasn't like this, was it?

Could it be that the one he just killed had a great reputation in the Inner Sect?

He couldn't help but look at an Inner Sect disciple who had been cheering loudly earlier: "The one I just killed... does he hold a high position in the Inner Sect?"

"You, you..."

Hearing this, the Inner Sect disciple's vision went dark: "Did you... not feel that his strength was formidable?"

The Inner Sect's number one charged at you to kill you, and you didn't sense his extraordinary strength, that he was hard to contend with?

"Formidable?" Zhang Xuan looked puzzled, not understanding why the other asked that. "I didn't notice. But his speed was quite fast... what about it?"

This one was indeed a bit faster, but killing him was still very simple, like when a human wants to kill an ant, it's hard to tell which ant is the strong one.

Anyway, they were all about the same, causing no impact.

"He, he... is Senior Brother Liu Lujie, ranked first in the Inner Sect!" Trembling uncontrollably, the Inner Sect disciple gritted his teeth.

"Ranked first?"

Zhang Xuan looked confused: "He's that weak? I didn't feel he had any real strength..."

"..." The crowd.
