With every breath, countless sword shadows engulfed him.

Hashimoto Otsuka excelled at attacking but lacked defensive skills.

Facing Su Fan's relentless offensive, he could only defend awkwardly.

He held his breath, waiting for an opportunity when Su Fan's energy was depleted.

Su Fan's swordsmanship was evidently a technique executed in one breath.

Before the sword energy within him was exhausted, Su Fan's assault would not cease.

However, Hashimoto Otsuka was completely unaware of just how enduring Su Fan's sword energy truly was!

This caused his defense to become increasingly frantic and distorted.

"Boom!"

Soon, Hashimoto Otsuka had to rely on his protective aura to withstand the attack.

Although Su Fan's Cold Spring Sword couldn't shatter his protective aura, Hashimoto Otsuka's complexion grew increasingly grim.

After Su Fan swung his sword countless times in one breath, he stepped back with his arms folded.

When he stopped, everyone was puzzled.

Because Hashimoto Otsuka still maintained his protective aura, standing not far from Su Fan.

Guo Kui and the others didn't understand why Su Fan, having gained the upper hand, chose not to continue suppressing Hashimoto Otsuka.

"Crack—"

At this moment, a crisp sound echoed from the arena.

After the first crisp sound, a series of similar sounds followed.

Everyone urgently noticed that Hashimoto Otsuka's protective aura was covered in ice cracks, resembling a shattered icy surface!

Moreover, one sword Qi after another unfolded on Hashimoto Otsuka's body.

In no time, Hashimoto Otsuka turned into a bloody figure.

Crimson blood droplets began to flow merrily at this moment.

A stream of blood soon appeared beside Hashimoto Otsuka.

He looked at Su Fan, opened his mouth, seemingly said something, or perhaps said nothing at all.

But Su Fan knew what Hashimoto Otsuka wanted to say.

The opponent softly said three words: "I'm unwilling!"

For both Su Fan and Hashimoto Otsuka, this battle was extremely risky.

Hashimoto Otsuka initially seized the opportunity but failed to capitalize on it.

The saying goes, "Opportunity granted, yet not seized, leads to misfortune!"

While Hashimoto Otsuka missed his chance for victory, it made Su Fan experience tremendous peril, leaving no room for mercy, directly unleashing his ultimate Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.

In the arena, although Hashimoto Otsuka still stood, he had completely lost his motion.

On this day, Su Fan in Xijing defeated one of the four little Sword Saints of the East Hashimoto Otsuka!

"Rumble!"

As the duel between Su Fan and Hashimoto Otsuka concluded, the sky above grew dark with clouds, flashing with thunder.

A heavy rain would soon arrive.

Raindrops began to fall sparsely from the sky.

Jing Shan Masao and the other two never imagined their master would be defeated.

The trio stood below the stage, as if they were statues.

As the rain grew heavier, Jing Shan Masao finally walked towards the stage with a sense of disorientation and stumbled.

Jing Shan Yaren and the others at this moment also felt like bereaved, lost souls.

After stepping onto the stage, they dared not confront Su Fan.

They respectfully bowed to Su Fan, then picked up Hashimoto Otsuka's katana, took Hashimoto Otsuka and left the arena.

Su Fan didn't ask the trio to stay; since Hashimoto Otsuka chose to fight honorably, he certainly could be magnanimous.

As Jing Shan Masao and the others left, applause and cheers erupted in all directions.

"Clap clap!"

"Magnificent! Grandmaster Su!"

"Grandmaster Su is incredible!"

"Grandmaster Su is invincible in battle!"

In all directions, countless people were extremely excited and thrilled at this moment.

Some martial artists couldn't help but wipe their tears.
