In the Heavenly Palace, atop the arena, upon hearing the judge's voice, Mei Yunxi immediately gathered his mana within. Golden thunderbolts encircled him, and in the next moment, dark clouds converged in the void, resembling tribulation clouds, which made the entire space feel oppressively heavy.
Suddenly, from the void, there came a huge rumbling sound, so loud that it seemed to explode the void itself, as a golden thunderbolt descended straight toward Cao Zhen.
Around the massive thunderbolt, arcs of golden electricity leaped through the void like dancing electric snakes.
A smile appeared at the corners of Mei Yunxi's mouth - his thunderbolts were even more terrifying than flames. More importantly, his thunderbolts struck from above, not directly at Cao Zhen. With this, how could Cao Zhen block?
Raise his sword to the sky?
In that case, there would be no defense in front of him.
Hmm?
Indeed, it was so.
In his line of sight, Cao Zhen, just as he predicted, raised his longsword and drew circles above his head.
In the void, when the descending thunderbolt touched the circle drawn by his sharp sword, it instantly dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Though Cao Zhen and Mei Yunxi were both cultivators of the Immortal Bridge Period, many were watching their battle due to the swordsmanship Cao Zhen displayed.
"He can still break it!"
"It seems the thunderbolt can't breakthrough either!"
"This swordsmanship can dissolve anything, it seems!"
"No, he's going to lose; Mei Yunxi is launching another attack."
In everyone's view, Mei Yunxi now held a golden spear, channeling his mana through his arms into the spear.
In an instant, golden light gathered on the spear, with the tip emanating unsteady brilliance.
In the next moment, as if the energy had gathered completely, a golden spear shadow shot from the spear, slicing through the air with a crisp sound, and lightning wrapped around the spear shadow.
Mei Yunxi now had a victorious smile; so what if Cao Zhen could handle his first thunderbolt attack?
He had a Divine Weapon in hand, and it was a Thunderbolt Divine Weapon, making two different attacks simultaneously - how could Cao Zhen block them?
In such a short time, Cao Zhen absolutely wouldn't have the strength to block his second strike, not even the time to bring the sword down and hold it in front of him, let alone block it.
Cao Zhen, seeing the descending second thunderbolt, didn't lower the sword from above his head, but instead extended his other empty hand, drawing a circle in front of him with his palm.
And the Thunderbolt Spear, descending, seemed to be pulled similarly to the previous thunderbolt, spinning uncontrollably around the circle.
"What!"
The smile on Mei Yunxi's face instantly froze, full of disbelief as he looked at Cao Zhen across from him.
Around the arena, everyone widened their eyes.
"Is he using his hand as a sword to employ swordsmanship?"
"No, actually, this isn't swordsmanship at all." In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a steadfast appearance, who hadn't spoken, remarked with emotion, "What he's truly powerful in is his understanding of The Way of Reincarnation. The sword that dissolves the opponent's attack relies on The Way of Reincarnation."
The core is The Way of Reincarnation; the sword is merely a tool, so whether he uses a sword or not doesn't matter.
What truly surprises me is that he can practice The Way of Reincarnation simultaneously with both hands.
The Reincarnation Palace has accepted another remarkable disciple."
Upon hearing the man's words, the surrounding crowd grew even more astonished. This man was from the Immortality Regainment Realm!
That Cao Zhen was only in the Immortal Bridge Period, yet his abilities amazed the Immortality Regainment Realm!
After blocking the opponent's consecutive attacks, Cao Zhen swiftly moved forward. But before he could reach his opponent, Mei Yunxi raised both hands in surrender, shouting, "I concede."
What else could he do besides surrender? His attack had no effect on the opponent, and he wasn't proficient in swordsmanship, letting the opponent reach him and put a sword at his throat would be even more embarrassing.
Since it's a loss either way, he might as well surrender straightforwardly.
Moreover, if he doesn't surrender and continues fighting Cao Zhen, Cao Zhen would inevitably suffer higher expenditure of power later. Cao Zhen, worn out, might lose to future opponents, making himself seem even more incompetent.
With this, it's better to concede directly, so Cao Zhen doesn't suffer a loss. That way, with Cao Zhen defeating more people, Mei Yunxi wouldn't stand out as much, avoiding embarrassment.
Upon hearing the opponent's concession, Cao Zhen naturally stopped, while Mei Yunxi approached him respectfully, saying, "Junior brother's swordsmanship is truly exquisite; this senior brother has learned a lot."
With that, he cupped his hands in salute and then jumped down from the arena.
Within a short time, Cao Zhen already achieved two consecutive victories.
Below, the judge responsible for this arena didn't bother announcing Cao Zhen's victory since Mei Yunxi had already conceded. What was there to announce?
He merely asked, "Do you need a rest, or will you continue fighting?"
Cao Zhen glanced at Immortal Lord Wu Xin in the distance, then turned back to say, "Let's continue."
