228 Evil-warding Sword Technique Versus Sword Intent
“The match was indeed fascinating.” Empress Changning clapped her hands hard. The duel between the two was indeed interesting. Whether it was swordsmanship or other things, it was all stunning.
“They’re indeed good. Their basic skills are very solid, and they’re well-known in the martial arts world. Their sword moves are gorgeous enough, but they’re a bit flashy.” He Chuan admired them, but he always felt their martial arts skills were too different.
They didn’t return to their original state and always wanted to end the battle with a gorgeous move.
When they could simplify things, they would really not be far from breaking through and becoming saint cultivators.
Today’s match was indeed more exciting.
“If Her Majesty were to take the field, she would probably win the championship.” Under the nurturing of He Chuan’s various elixirs, Empress Changning became a second-rank saint cultivator.
“Hehe, my Husband has also learned to say nice things. Even if I’m not pregnant, it would be difficult for me to become number one in the world. It’s more likely that my Husband will take action.” Empress Changning’s pretty face revealed a smile. It would be more appropriate for her to enter the top five.
It would not be a joke wanting to obtain first place.
Not to mention the hidden power of the seven major sects, even the major families and mountain villas had hidden themselves very deeply.
Previously, when the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhengchun made his move, he did not really affect the foundations of the seven major sects. This group of hidden experts did not make a move.
Otherwise, the Imperial Court might not have been able to suppress the seven great sects.
Did these experts not usually appear? it was because they believed that they could not meddle in worldly matters, especially the changes in dynasties. Otherwise, it would affect their state of mind, and it would be easy for them to go berserk.
“Number one in the world? If all the hidden experts in the world come out, it’ll probably be a battle between us saint cultivators, or someone might have already broken through to the saint cultivator level.” He Chuan had always been very careful.
The world was so big, and there were still foreigners.
No one knew what their civilization was like, whether martial arts flourished, or whether firearms could threaten saint cultivators.
Everything was unknown.
“Husband is as calm as ever. There are too few people who can reach your state of mind. I wonder when Husband will break through to the saint cultivator realm?” Empress Changning was actually very curious about He Chuan’s strength. After so many years, what realm had the man beside her reached?
“It’s only one step away. When the water flows and the channel is formed, I don’t think it’ll be too far away,” Although He Chuan’s expression could not be seen from his mask, there was a slight fluctuation in his tone. It was not because he was proud, but mainly because he wanted to see what level he could rise to after breaking through to the saint cultivator level.
Was that true cultivation?
And is the above the end or just the beginning?
“Look, your disciple is about to go on stage!” Empress Changning pointed at Lia, who was in the ring. She was curious as to how much this Princess of the grasslands had learned from He Chuan.
Was she as strong as when she became a half-step saint cultivator?
“Wandering cultivator, Bai Lifeng!”
“Heartless Sword, Lia.”
The two people in the ring reported their names to each other.
Pfft!
Cai Lian couldn’t help but spit out her tea.
Just now, Lia said she wanted to come up with a nickname in the pugilistic world. Cai Lian had thought she was joking.
She didn’t expect to find a nickname, but what the hell was this heartless sword?
The people below the stage also started to discuss animatedly, most of them mocking Lia.
“It’s interesting that you dare to call yourself heartless at such a young age.”
“You’re just a barbarian from the outer realm. How dare you talk about the heartless sword? What a joke.”
“Bai Lifeng, quickly finish off this little kid with one move! Let her go back to the grassland to drink milk!”
“This little disciple of yours is quite interesting. Could it be that your Husband gave her this name?” Even Empress Changning couldn’t help but laugh. She didn’t understand why Lia had called herself that.
Only those experts who had genuinely forgotten about love could be called emotionless.
And Lia had probably never even been in love before, so how could she be heartless?
Without experiencing love, how could one be emotionless?
“Ruthless? My sword can be called peerless!”
The sword dance was peerless, and this sword was no longer human, no sword!
“You talk too much nonsense!” Lia was a little unhappy at being jeered at. What ultimate sword? What ultimate world? It did not matter to her. The evil-warding sword technique that He Chuan had taught her was the ultimate sword technique.
Bai Lifeng danced with his sword. The sword intent condensed and did not dissipate. His entire body was like a fallen leaf drifting away, and the sword in his hand was not stained by a single speck of dust!
The man was like a sword, and the sword was like the man!
The sword intent broke the space in front of him, like the clear sky after snow!
The wind and clouds in the world were both real and illusionary! The explanation was that it was both true and false!
The heavens and earth were boundless!
“Falling meteor!” Lia dared not be slow in the face of such a mighty sword. She immediately used the fastest move of the evil-warding sword technique!
Shooting star-like shuttle, dew-drop dream-breaking, falling strike, cloud-slaying evil gu!
A strong wind blew.
A drop of dew rose with the wind.
The Water Autumn Sword in Lia’s hand moved forward against the dew, but it did not pierce through.
While the people in the pugilistic world were talking, they could not help but sigh in their hearts when they saw Lia’s ghostly sword.
They didn’t know where her master came from.
In the arena.
Bai Lifeng’s sword intent was like a tide, as majestic as the ocean, sweeping towards Lia!
The sword had no technique, only sword intent.
Back then, he had held the sword in the sea for half a year before comprehending this move that had no purpose!
The autumn waters arrived, and hundreds of rivers flowed in the south of the sea!
Lia was like a small boat in the ocean.
The two sword energies met, and a shooting star passed through the sea!
The two of them passed by each other!
A strand of long hair fell!
“I’ve lost. As expected of the heartless sword!” Bai Lifeng laughed at himself.
It was a pity that this move of his was intentional and formless and could not be used as a true absolute sword!
With time, if his sword arts and martial arts realm reached a higher level, he might be able to become a true sword of fatality!
Seeing that Lia finally knew how to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses, He Chuan nodded in relief.
Lia would definitely lose if she chose to fight head-on with her opponent.
This was because he had said more than once that the evil-warding swordsmanship’s specialty was its ‘speed’!
The sword was like a ghost. If one couldn’t understand the essence of the sword technique, then they were destined not to go far on the road of martial Dao.
“What? Bai Lifeng actually lost to a little girl from the plains!”
“Did you see that? That girl’s sword is so fast that I can’t even see how she attacked!”
“That’s right. I didn’t expect that the outer realm barbarians could also comprehend this kind of sword technique. We can’t underestimate them.”
The absolute sword isn’t absolute, but Bai Li Feng has enough experience!
The crowd below the stage began to discuss enthusiastically again.
They had not expected Lia to win.
“It seems that the Sixth Princess has already mastered the evil-warding sword technique.” Empress Changning said with a nod.
“So-so. The top sixteen is her limit. Bai Lifeng is too focused on his will and has forgotten that the essence of the sword is a move.” He Chuan shook his head.
To put it bluntly, Bai Lifeng still pursued magnificence. His sword intent seemed majestic, but it was only one move. As long as it could be broken or dodged, then Bai Lifeng was destined to be unable to win.
“That’s true. Without any moves, it’s just empty talk. It’s the same as losing the chance to win.” Empress Changning nodded in agreement.
Lia, who had returned to her seat, immediately shared her joy with Cai Lian.
