I Can See Your Combat Power

The result of the spiritual weapon colliding with the spiritual sword did not meet Ji Fu’s expectations, but it nevertheless forced him to acknowledge the brilliance of the Xu Clan’s ancestor’s tactics.

Converting spiritual energy into the shape of a sword, no matter how solid it is due to condensation of spiritual power, could never win over a hammer-shaped spiritual weapon during a collision.

Yet, the Xu Clan remarkably chose a different path, discarding their obsession with the manifestation of the spirit form, and instead focusing on the damage caused by the fragmentation of the spiritual form; truly a sight to behold.

In this world, it is common knowledge that Spirit Arts are the strongest when the spiritual form is intact, and the moment it breaks, the spiritual energy contained within would leak out, reducing its power significantly.

However, the spiritual sword launched by Elder Xu, after shattering its spirit form, unleashed a deadly blow at the peak level of a mortal realm. Ji Fu’s visualization of eighteen kinds of weapons was indeed formidable, but when they faced thirty kinds of attacks with different properties and varying destructive power, there was only one possible outcome – defeat.

The first clash between the Undying Battle Body and the Supreme Sword Art of the Heavens left the Xu Family at an advantage. Even after the last silver hammer was broken into pieces, two extra spiritual swords still headed towards Ji Fu.

Confronting the two spiritual swords hurtling towards him, Ji Fu’s face turned pale. His overflowing spiritual power erupted, faint silver inscriptions appearing on his body. He did not dodge or avoid, but let the two spiritual swords pierce his chest, exploding upon impact.

The anticipated penetration did not occur. The two spiritual swords fired as if hitting a steel plate, exploding upon contact with Ji Fu’s chest and the sword’s intent burst forth, striking him directly.

This irresistible force tore Ji Fu’s shirt, pushed him back a step, leaving two marks on the ground.

Ji Fu, who was able to endure two spiritual swords, revealed his magnificent body covered in inscriptions. The intricate and mysterious inscriptions seemed to form a layer of silver armor on him. This was the immortal battle body of the Han Family.

“He really is extraordinary!” Elder Xu, looking at the inscriptions on Ji Fu’s upper body, admired it as if he was appreciating a priceless work of art. He noticed that the place on Ji Fu’s chest hit by the spiritual sword didn’t have even a scratch, and he sincerely admired it.

As the strongest swordsman of the Xu Clan in this generation, he obviously knew the lethality of his spiritual sword. And the fact that the opponent was able to block two of his swords with only his body could not but move him.

However, Ji Fu, who received the compliment, couldn’t feel any glory, because Elder Xu was praising the Undying Battle Body, not the Battle Edge Tactics. This victorious posture angered him, “Are you daring enough to fight close quarters with me? That was just an appetizer. The way of Spirit Art is just one aspect. The most brutal in martial arts is melee combat.”

The most brutal thing in martial arts is close combat. Every inch shorter brings an inch of danger. Even for the reaction speed of a peak mortal-level martial artist, when two people get close to each other’s face, fighting becomes the most basic instinct. You do not have time to think about how to break the opponent’s tactics. Everything will happen in the shortest possible time, and the Han Family martial artists are the best at close combat.

“What is there to fear?” Elder Xu gave a faint smile and brandished his sword. Although the records always stated that the martial artists of the Han Family were invincible in close combat, those were thousand-year-old data. He has a keen desire to see if his Supreme Sword Art upgraded and refined over a thousand years can crush the power of the Han Family in close combat!

“Bold!” Ji Fu praised, “We will decide the winner by the one who can land a hit on the other in close combat.”

Elder Xu nodded in acceptance. In fact, he had already figured out that the young man from the Han Family was not here to challenge him, but to prove that the Han Family’s Battle Edge Tactics and Weapon Mastery Techniques still remained the strongest killing techniques in the world. The Supreme Sword Art of the Xu Family was nothing but a deceptive name.

After the Han Family was annihilated, what supported them to change their names, and even change their family name in order to survive, wasn’t it the pride engraved in their bones? They believe that their skills are the best and that they can return to the top of the continent.

The eighteen silver weapons once again appeared behind Ji Fu. He held a dazzling Halberd in his hand, which was made from spiritual power and even had the texture of metal, making it seem like a real spiritual weapon.

“Your weapon of choice is a Halberd?” Elder Xu raised an eyebrow and asked.

Martial artists from the Han family, from a young age, are required to master all eighteen kinds of weaponry. Only by mastering all eighteen weapons can they visualize and condense the true essence of the spiritual weapon. After reaching the Mortal Realm, they need to choose one weapon as their primary weapon for visualization, achieving the realm of Weapon Mastery – knowing one weapon means understanding all others.

People altogether say that rod, knife, and lifetime spear, but they do not know that practicing Halberd is even three times harder than practicing spear. Unless exceptionally talented, Han family members largely avoid the Halberd and spear because they require too much time to master.

Although there are few people in the world who practice with Halberds, those who do have astonishing combat power. In his early years, Saint Han used his extraordinary Halberd combat skills with his mighty halberd, the Slytherin Dragon, to force the world to submit and all beasts to retreat.

Seeing the Halberd technique from a descendant of the Han family was an unexpected thrill for Elder Xu.

When Ji Fu held the Halberd, he seemed to be a different person entirely, brimming with an unstoppable aura of dominance. The seventeen floating weapons behind him fell silent, presenting a somber mood of killing air.

Even from a distance, Elder Xu could feel a chilling sense of foreboding coming from the weapons. Without responding, he realized that Ji Fu’s essential choice was not only choosing the Halberd but also the most challenging square halberd. The majestic momentum stirred the Prince Saint’s fighting spirit.

Not waiting for the opponent to approach, Elder Xu, holding the steel sword, transformed into a white sword light, piercing towards Ji Fu.

“Well done!” Ji Fu shouted at Elder Xu. The Dragon’s back and Halberd in his hand seemed to merge into one. The force came from the ground. The Halberd is like a snake hissing, piercing Xu.

The spear tip and the sword tip collided, producing ripples of spiritual rhyme, which carried the storm and shattered everything around it.

Using the strength of his whole body, Elder Xu managed to counter Ji Fu’s single-handed halberd. But he felt uneasy a moment before his strength met Ji Fu’s, as heard the explosive sound of energy from within Ji Fu’s body. A ripple of shock coupled with the sound of tiger and leopard thunderstorms exploded, transferring from the large dragon on Ji Fu’s spine to his right arm holding the Halberd.

“Damn it!” Elder Xu was shocked, and he quickly withdrew his sword.

Seeing Elder Xu decisively withdraw his weapon, Ji Fu’s eyes lit up with a hint of appreciation for the opponent’s astuteness.

If the sword were able to withstand the impact with the Halberd, then he wouldn’t have bothered practicing!

The massive force exploded in Ji Fu’s right arm that held the Halberd. He just slightly shook it, and the steel sword that was perfectly matched with the Halberd’s spear was immediately crushed into iron dust, indicating what would have happened if Elder Xu had not let go of his sword.

It was just one strike, and Ji Fu’s halberd had crushed Elder Xu’s sword.

“So barbaric!” Elder Xu exclaimed looking at his sword that turned into dust. He was planning to fight again, but he didn’t expect to lose.

Crushing Elder Xu’s sword, Ji Fu, holding his halberd, stabbed at him again, expressionless. Holding the square halberd with the strength of the dragon elephant, it gave off an unstoppable vigor..
