Faced with the Heavenly Sword Alliance's impudent provocation, Chu Xinghe chose not to indulge them.

"Junior Brother Zuo Fei, with your innate sword body and now having received the inheritance of the Fortune Law Sword, I should be the one learning from you in the path of the sword. Since Junior Brother Zuo Fei is so eager, shall we stop when it's appropriate today?"

As soon as Chu Xinghe spoke, Zuo Fei's eyes lit up.

Chu Xinghe, the leading figure of the younger generation, was undoubtedly the envy of countless people. Many dreamt of defeating Chu Xinghe.

Defeating Chu Xinghe would surely make one famous overnight.

Zuo Fei, with his innate sword body and natural sword intent, now awakened with the Fortune Law Sword, felt that even against Chu Xinghe, who possessed the Grand Sky Sword Box, he might have a fighting chance.

If he could defeat Chu Xinghe here today, his name would quickly spread across the world, so Zuo Fei didn't care about being impolite.

Would the world care about his manners if he defeated Chu Xinghe?

They would only speak of how powerful Zuo Fei's swordsmanship was!

With excitement, Zuo Fei nodded, forming a sword gesture with his hand. The Fortune Law Sword danced in the air before him, and the dragon shadow on the sword seemed to sense Zuo Fei's supreme battle intent, swelling as if ready to soar.

"Fortune Sword Radiance, man and sword in harmony!"

A terrifying sword intent erupted from Zuo Fei, and in an instant, he seemed to perfectly merge with the Fortune Law Sword.

In a flash of sword light, Zuo Fei, with the Fortune Law Sword, appeared before Chu Xinghe.

But just as Zuo Fei was about to advance further, a purple lightning bolt suddenly descended from above!

Purple Lightning Flash!

The terrifying thunder shadow instantly enveloped Zuo Fei's head. Zuo Fei urged the Fortune Law Sword to block the sudden Purple Lightning Flash from the sky.

What happened to stopping when appropriate?

Why did you start with a Purple Lightning Flash aimed at my head?

To be fair, Zuo Fei's Fortune Law Sword was indeed formidable. The dragon shadow in the sky clashed with the Purple Lightning Flash, shattering it.

However, Zuo Fei didn't come out unscathed. The purple electric arcs flew everywhere, leaving him tingling all over.

Yet Zuo Fei didn't retreat. He unleashed an even more terrifying sword intent, ready to counterattack.

But before Zuo Fei could strike back, countless sword lights suddenly flickered around him, originating from the Flying Locust.

The Flying Locust split into hundreds, instantly forming three sword formations, which resonated with each other, solidifying into three formations.

Dragon Trap Formation, Falling Star Formation, Still Water Formation!

The moment the three formations took shape, they surrounded Zuo Fei completely.

Not just Zuo Fei, even the onlookers were stunned.

"Forming a formation with swords... Is this the legendary Formation Perfection?"

There had been rumors that under Yan Shoujing's guidance, Chu Xinghe could instantly form any grand formation with the Flying Locust. Some even said that if Chu Xinghe were strong enough, he could carry the Grand Sky Sect's Mountain Protection Array with him.

But those were just rumors; no one had seen it firsthand. However, with Chu Xinghe's talent for Formation Perfection and the Flying Locust's abilities, it seemed possible.

Some doubted its authenticity, as formations typically emphasized stability.

Could a dynamic divine sword truly form a sword formation?

Zheng Yu had also doubted its feasibility, but witnessing the three sword formations materialize, he realized that Senior Brother Xinghe's sword formations were terrifyingly powerful!

The three floating formations were like having an additional master formation expert aiding Chu Xinghe in battle. Zuo Fei, caught within, was bewildered.

What happened to the sword duel? Why haven't I managed to strike even once?

But could anyone claim Chu Xinghe's sword formations weren't swordsmanship?

This was Chu Xinghe's own creation, his unique swordsmanship. The Flying Locust, originally the weakest in individual power, was developed by Chu Xinghe into a mobile formation, its power utterly terrifying.

Zuo Fei wanted to use the Fortune Law Sword to break the formation, but before he could act, countless sword beams swept towards him from all directions.

Hanging Shears Sword Wings!

Chu Xinghe stood at the core of the three formations, the Hanging Shears forming sword wings. As the wings swung, countless sword beams crazily swept towards Zuo Fei.

"Fortune Divine Might!" Zuo Fei shouted, and the Fortune Law Sword erupted with terrifying sword beams. Zuo Fei intended to forcibly break Chu Xinghe's encirclement with the sword beams of his Fortune Law Sword.

But just as the sword beams formed, a divine sword resembling a token flew in.

"Quelling Evil! Break!"

The divine light of Quelling Evil flickered, and the sword beams of the Fortune Law Sword were directly shattered by it. Quelling Evil not only dispelled all evil forces but also had the ability to break other powers, though not as ruthlessly as it did evil.

If Zuo Fei had managed to gather the strongest sword beams of the Fortune Law Sword, Quelling Evil might not have been able to break them. But Zuo Fei didn't have the chance, and Chu Xinghe wouldn't give him the opportunity. So before the sword beams could fully form, they were clearly broken by Quelling Evil.

Without giving Zuo Fei any respite, the moment the sword beams shattered, the cooldown for Thunder Shadow ended.

"Purple Lightning Flash!"

From the sky, purple lightning descended. Although Zuo Fei wanted to counter with the Fortune Law Sword as before, the surrounding formations and the relentless attacks of the Hanging Shears Sword Wings made it impossible for him to fully defend. The purple lightning struck, enveloping Zuo Fei, and electric arcs spread across his body, paralyzing him.

Yet everyone could see that Senior Brother Xinghe had held back.

Otherwise, with the dominance of Thunder Shadow, even if this Purple Lightning Flash didn't take Zuo Fei's life, it would have left him incapacitated.

But... Senior Brother Xinghe... What happened to stopping when appropriate?

Wasn't this combination of sword techniques a bit too domineering?

Just as Zuo Fei was paralyzed and Chu Xinghe was about to deliver the final blow to end everything, a voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"Chu Xinghe... How dare you harm my junior brother!"

A figure leaped into the air; it was Hu Zhengqin, Zuo Fei's senior brother, who had seen Chu Xinghe about to strike his junior brother and was alarmed.

In a flash, he appeared before Chu Xinghe, his entire body surging with spiritual energy, like an unsheathed sword, he punched towards Chu Xinghe, trying to force him back.

But facing Hu Zhengqin's punch, Chu Xinghe didn't retreat. Instead, spiritual energy spiraled out from his body.

In an instant, the terrifying spiritual energy transformed into a storm, enveloping him!

Meeting Hu Zhengqin's fist, Chu Xinghe also punched out.

"Boom!" The massive spiritual power collided in mid-air, and their fists met in the air.

But at the moment of impact, the spiritual power from Chu Xinghe's body erupted with unbelievable might, the spiraling spiritual energy from his fist tore through Hu Zhengqin's spiritual power, then continued to spiral up Hu Zhengqin's arm.

Wherever the spiritual energy passed, the clothes representing the Heavenly Sword Alliance's personal disciple on Hu Zhengqin's arm spiraled and tore apart, the spiraling spiritual energy coiling like a dragon, twisting Hu Zhengqin's arm into a distorted shape.

The terrifying spiraling spiritual energy shredded all of Hu Zhengqin's upper body clothing, finally exploding at his chest, sending Hu Zhengqin flying backward.

All this happened in an instant. Others only saw Hu Zhengqin suddenly attack, and Chu Xinghe's spiritual energy erupting as he turned and clashed fists with Hu Zhengqin.

Then Hu Zhengqin's upper body clothing shattered, his arm twisted, and he flew backward, while Chu Xinghe remained unmoved, his eyes full of disdain.

This sudden clash silenced the entire scene.

After all, Hu Zhengqin was a Seventh Grade Martial Saint... His attack was almost a sneak attack, though he wouldn't dare to fully assault Chu Xinghe. But a Seventh Grade Martial Saint, being punched by Chu Xinghe until his clothes shattered, his arm twisted, and he flew backward, stunned everyone present.

At that moment, everyone suddenly realized...

He was Chu Xinghe...

Not only did he have the Grand Sky Sword Box, but he also received the personal teachings of Gu Mingchao, the master of the Grand Sky Sect, cultivating the supreme Grand Sky Battle Intent!

That was the number one ranked Grand Sky Battle Intent in the world!

Chu Xinghe hadn't acted often, and each time he did, it was usually with the Grand Sky Sword Box, leading many to overlook the fact that Chu Xinghe wasn't just about the Grand Sky Sword Box.

He also had the Grand Sky Battle Intent, inherited from Gu Mingchao. Although Chu Xinghe wasn't Gu Mingchao's personal disciple, Gu Mingchao wished to pass on all his knowledge to Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe's Grand Sky Battle Intent was said to have received Gu Mingchao's strongest inheritance.

So Chu Xinghe wasn't just formidable with the Grand Sky Sword Box; his Grand Sky Battle Intent was equally terrifying.

Gu Mingchao had maintained his position as the world's number one with the Grand Sky Battle Intent for years, unchallenged. Zheng Yu once asked his master, Cheng Xiaotian, why he hadn't considered challenging Gu Mingchao over the years.

To this, Cheng Xiaotian replied with a bitter smile, saying that Gu Mingchao's Grand Sky Battle Intent had reached its pinnacle. Though Gu Mingchao had acted less in recent years, his cultivation level had reached an almost ultimate state, just a step away from the legendary Martial God realm.

There might truly be no one in the world who could defeat Gu Mingchao. Even top-tier beings like himself or Wu Xingyun could only hope to fight Gu Mingchao, not defeat him.

And everything about Gu Mingchao stemmed from the Grand Sky Battle Intent.

Chu Xinghe, having inherited Gu Mingchao's Grand Sky Battle Intent, was nearly invincible among the younger generation, even without relying on the Grand Sky Sword Box. Not even Zheng Yu's Seven-Colored Glazed Body could necessarily defeat the Grand Sky Battle Intent.

In an instant, everything ended. Hu Zhengqin's clothes were torn, he spat blood and flew backward, while on the other side, Chu Xinghe's divine sword didn't pause. Thunder Shadow descended again, and Zuo Fei, emitting black smoke, fell to the ground, unable to rise. The innate sword body, famed for unparalleled sword intent, Zuo Fei, hadn't even managed to strike once before being defeated...

Chu Xinghe waved his hand, dispersing the spiritual energy. All divine swords hovered in the air before flying into his arm. Once everything settled, Chu Xinghe looked at the fallen Zuo Fei and Hu Zhengqin and spoke calmly, "You seem to have forgotten, my title as the number one of the younger generation wasn't self-proclaimed, it was earned through battle, given by the world..."
