Chapter 139.2: Lu Changsheng Breaks His Silence with a Stunning Revelation! (II)

Wang Cheng frowned at the discussion between his two companions. As it turned out, he had not seized an opportunity, but narrowly avoided disaster. If Lu Changsheng had returned to the sect back then, Wang Cheng, as the first challenger, would likely have been crushed outright, perhaps even turned into the laughingstock of the entire outer sect.

Thinking of it that way, Wang Cheng almost felt relieved that Lu Changsheng hadn’t returned in time. Indeed, he had been defeated by Zhang He, but Zhang He was known to be very strong, and losing to him was hardly surprising—certainly nothing to be mocked over.

“Do you really think a Domain is that easy to evolve? Maybe he’s just gone mad, or perhaps he thinks he can rely on certain secret techniques or martial techniques to defeat Senior Brother Meng Fang.”

In his heart, Wang Cheng actually felt his companions’ words made a lot of sense, but he still refused to concede.

“Which one is Lu Changsheng? I accept your challenge.”

Hearing that, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes. Meng Fang had arrived.

For years, no one had dared challenge him, and Lu Changsheng was finally breaking that streak. Meng Fang was almost offended by the fact that Lu Changsheng had chosen him out of the Three Untouchables. Was he being seen as the weakest one? That thought alone was intolerable.

Meng Fang resolved to end the fight swiftly with just one exchange.

“Senior Brother Meng, please.” Lu Changsheng stood up.

“Then let’s go to the arena. Let’s finish this quickly. I have things to do,” Meng Fang said curtly.

One could tell he was being pressed for time. Lu Changsheng picked up on the indignation and disdain in Meng Fang’s voice, but he couldn’t care less. Things to do? In a few moments, Meng Fang would not be in the mood for anything.

“As you wish.” Lu Changsheng stood up and walked straight toward the arena.

Soon, the two arrived at the arena in the martial training grounds. A crowd of disciples had already gathered. After all, this battle had attracted a great deal of attention. One was a disciple who had entered through the Heavenly Stairway just over four months ago, and the other was one of the greatest in the outer sect.

Such a duel was bound to intrigue lots of disciples. Many were deeply curious about Lu Changsheng’s strength, wondering what gave him the confidence to challenge Meng Fang like that. As for Meng Fang, having not fought for several years, many were naturally curious about how strong he truly was.

This battle would finally provide answers.

“The young are fearless because they haven’t been taught fear yet,” Meng Fang sneered. “You dare challenge me the moment you arrive in the outer sect. You have courage, I’ll give you that. But that’s as far as you go. Courage is no substitute for strength.”

Meng Fang’s hand rested lightly on the hilt of his sword, and the moment his fingers closed around it—

Voosh!

An overwhelming sharpness instantly enveloped Lu Changsheng. It was as if blades surrounded him from all directions. He immediately realized what this was.

“Sword Domain!”

The Sword Domain evolved from a perfected Sword Intent. Of course, there were different types of Sword Intent—ten thousand people could comprehend ten thousand different paths. Yet regardless of form, all Sword Intents shared the same core principle: sharpness and lethal precision.

Naturally, the Sword Domain was even more fearsome. Lu Changsheng’s entire body stiffened as the Domain suppressed him entirely, locking him in place. It felt as though countless blades were cutting across his skin.

“Ooo, the Sword Domain! I never thought that after so many years, we would see Senior Brother Meng Fang’s Sword Domain again!”

“It must be even stronger now. Over the years, Senior Brother Meng Fang has acquired quite a few Dao Comprehension Pills. His Sword Domain must’ve reached an incredible level.”

“He shut Lu Changsheng down just with the Sword Domain. Heh, to think this newbie was bold enough to challenge Senior Brother Meng Fang.”

“Secret techniques, martial techniques, Intents… none of them matter under Senior Brother Meng Fang’s Sword Domain.”

“Most likely, Senior Brother Meng Fang will not even need to draw his sword for Lu Changsheng to surrender. If his sword leaves its sheath, Lu Changsheng will suffer.”

The moment Meng Fang’s Sword Domain unfolded, the crowd was astonished. This Domain had swept through the outer sect before, and aside from the other two Untouchables, no one had ever been able to withstand it.

Now, Lu Changsheng was no exception. This was the first time he had ever been suppressed like this, from the very start of the fight.

Regardless, he raised his head and said slowly, “A Domain? I have one too!”

“Hm?” Meng Fang suddenly sensed a faint wind stirring within his Sword Domain.

Woosh…

The wind grew stronger and stronger, eventually transforming into a violent storm. The gale raged within the Sword Domain, and Lu Changsheng immediately broke free from its suppression.

“A Domain?” Meng Fang narrowed his eyes slightly. In truth, he had already considered this possibility. After all, someone who had passed the Heavenly Stairway could not be ordinary.

“So Lu Changsheng really has evolved a Domain, and it seems to be a Storm Domain.”

“So that’s why he challenged Meng Fang. He does have some means to fight him.”

Some disciples were taken aback, but still, none believed Lu Changsheng could truly overpower Meng Fang’s Sword Domain. After all, not all Domains were equally powerful.

“So that’s the source of your confidence?” Meng Fang said wryly. “A Storm Domain? Sure, the fact that you’ve evolved a Domain proves your Perception is exceptional. But to think a mere Storm Domain is enough to challenge me… do you truly believe the outer sect disciples of the Northern Domain Heavenly Sect are all worthless?”

Whoosh!

With that, the power of the Sword Domain surged instantly. Streaks of sword light flashed and repeatedly sliced through the void, cutting into Lu Changsheng’s Storm Domain. The two Domains collided head-on, and Lu Changsheng’s Storm Domain was immediately torn apart. Even the howling winds were pierced by sword light, dimming noticeably, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Meng Fang’s Sword Domain truly lived up to its reputation. After all, he had perfected it, whereas Lu Changsheng had yet to push his Storm Domain to ten percent. It was no surprise that it collapsed after a single clash.

Crash!

At that moment, the sound of flowing water seemed to emerge. The distant murmurs grew louder and louder, until they became a thunderous roar.

Waves emerged behind Lu Changsheng, seemingly a hundred zhang high. They surged violently within the Sword Domain, swallowing the sword light whole.

“What the… Two Domains?! You actually evolved two Domains?!” Meng Fang cried out in shock.

It wasn’t just him; everyone was stunned. Lu Changsheng had kept a low profile all this time, and now he casually revealed a second Domain? An earth-shattering move indeed!
