Watching Chu Tiange flee in a bronze chariot in a sorry state, Lu Yu suddenly wanted to laugh. He had been so arrogant before, challenging the Sword God's remnant image alone and astonishing everyone. Who would have thought he'd be hunted like this now?

I don't even know who's chasing Chu Tiange. They are incredibly fierce.

Soon Lu Yu couldn't laugh anymore because he saw the person chasing Chu Tiange—the Sword God's remnant image was heading his way.

Whoosh! A sword light shot toward Lu Yu, and the Sword God's remnant image seemed like it had taken gunpowder, slashing at anything in sight, whether it's a remnant or a living person.

Seeing the sword light flying toward him, Lu Yu's face changed drastically. A sharp stabbing sensation spread over him, and he understood that if he were struck, he'd surely be cut in half.

He quickly took out the Hundred-Variant Arm Shield to block in front of him. The sword light landed on the shield, and Lu Yu took a few steps back to dissipate the force. Instinctively, he looked at the shield's surface—there were no scratches. The arm shield could withstand the Sword God's remnant image attacks.

Lu Yu now somewhat understood why he was given the Hundred-Variant Arm Shield.

In the Secret Realm of Soldiers, as long as you can block attacks and run fast enough, you can survive.

Here, even experts at the Sea of Qi realm can only launch physical attacks. The Hundred-Variant Arm Shield can block their physical attacks, so Lu Yu can last until the Fire Sea Ice Island appears.

The only threat to Lu Yu is the Sword God's Sword Intent.

Sword Intent directly attacks the mind, and the arm shield can't block that; Lu Yu wasn't sure he could withstand it either.

Back at the edge of Sword Abyss, when watching the battle between the Sword God's remnant image and Chu Tiange, Lu Yu had felt the Sword God's Sword Intent.

That kind of Sword Intent is an all-penetrating force. Even if Lu Yu wasn't the target then, he felt riddled with holes.

Lu Yu didn't try to see if he could withstand Sword God's Sword Intent damage. After blocking the Sword Qi from the Sword God's remnant image, he left quickly, distancing himself from it.

The Sword God's remnant image didn't care about Lu Yu, who blocked its Sword Qi. It directly pursued Chu Tiange's direction. Encountering shadowy figures and Martial Cultivators on the way, it casually swung a sword. If they survived, it was pure luck. The Sword God's remnant image wouldn't hunt them deliberately.

In another place, Lu Yu continued to brush up against remnants, enhancing the power of Infinite Fist and accumulating experience points.

It seemed that the Sword God's remnant image had slain too many remnants, as there were particularly few for Lu Yu to find. Helpless, he could only head farther away.

Around Fist Seal Valley lined the Sword Abyss, Gun River, and Blade Cliff. Lu Yu was now heading toward Blade Cliff.

Having already created Infinite Fist, which could be enhanced through martial arts fusion, Lu Yu also wanted to upgrade the Bladeless Swordsmanship.

The Bladeless Swordsmanship was only third-rank. Though its power matched fourth-rank martial arts, Lu Yu still found it weak.

If the Bladeless Swordsmanship's power improves further, Lu Yu might have a chance to slash a Sea of Qi realm in one stroke.

After defeating a few Fist Cultivator remnants on the road, Lu Yu used the accumulated experience points to upgrade Bladeless Swordsmanship.

Consumable 50,000 experience points, Bladeless Swordsmanship martial arts realm upgraded.

[Skill Upgraded! Bladeless Swordsmanship - Celestial Collapse (Peak Perfection) → Bladeless Swordsmanship - Celestial Collapse (Divine Technique)]

A Peak Perfection level of Bladeless Swordsmanship allowed Lu Yu to perform Celestial Collapse with light weapons.

At the Divine Technique level, not only was the charge time of Bladeless Swordsmanship greatly reduced, but it also carried a second burst damage effect.

When the weapon hits the target, it causes crushing damage, then triggers Qi Blood and Spiritual Qi explosions for secondary damage.

To elevate Bladeless Swordsmanship to matchless realm required 200,000 experience points, which Lu Yu didn't have enough of.

Just as he was about to try the upgraded Bladeless Swordsmanship, Lu Yu encountered a Swordsman remnant. The Swordsman remnant roamed this area and approached Lu Yu upon seeing him.

Swish! Out of nowhere, the Swordsman suddenly drew its sword, sending a straight blade light toward Lu Yu.

Lu Yu hurriedly responded with a cut, sacrificing two-tenths of his Qi Blood.

If the Bladeless Swordsmanship hadn't been upgraded, with that cut, let alone losing two-tenths of Qi Blood, he couldn't even ensure it would have any power.

The Swordsman's attack was too sudden. The opponent must also be pursuing a One-Sword Style, and they practiced the Sword Drawing Technique, which was much faster than Lu Yu.

Lu Yu had to defend quickly. Since Bladeless Swordsmanship didn't have defensive moves, he could only use offense as defense. As long as he neutralized the opponent's attack, he was defending.

Bang! Lu Yu shattered the blade light, and the fragments still flew toward him, cutting through his Divine Weapon Pavilion third-rank disciple's robe, which was already a bit ragged, adding new holes.

Lu Yu hadn't done any tasks recently and had no time to break through the Tongtian Tower, so he had no contributions to exchange for new disciple robes. He was still wearing what's left from the Yinming Cold Pool when it got damaged by a spiked head.

The disciple's robe came with transformation and concealing arrays, which usually hid any holes. However, in battle, the arrays failed, exposing the damage.

A few drops of blood fell, and Lu Yu was a little helpless. The disciple's robe was ultimately not proper spirit armor. Without Spiritual Power infusion, it was much more fragile than those made of metal.

However, Lu Yu had already won. Swordsmen who practiced the Sword Drawing Technique, if they didn't critically wound or kill Lu Yu with the first strike, their momentum would drain completely. Gathering the same powerful strike again would take a significant amount of time.

Lu Yu wouldn't give him that time, and the true power of Lu Yu's One-Sword Style hadn't even erupted yet.

After a few exchanges with the Swordsman, Lu Yu seized the opportunity to erupt and instantly killed him. Facing this Swordsman, there was no grasping the opponent's martial skills, so Lu Yu executed with the fastest speed.
