”Ok. Let me personally experience the so-called saber intent. Don't disappoint me,” said the eighth elder. No matter what, he was a third-stage Transformation Realm expert. He would not fear Xiang Shaoyun. But of course, he was also unaware that Xiang Shaoyun had already slain Li Hao and two other Transformation Realm experts from the Redwolf Bandits, hence the elder's confidence. If he had known that, he would not be willing to be the one to challenge Xiang Shaoyun when n.o.body else was doing so.

”Don't worry. I will make sure you experience it clearly,” Xiang Shaoyun sneered.

When Luo Yongcheng saw that Xiang Shaoyun had agreed to the challenge, he couldn't say anything else. He only shot the eighth elder a look of pity as he thought, Old eight, you have always been an arrogant person. I'm afraid today will be the day you're taught a lesson for your arrogance.

Everyone moved to make some s.p.a.ce and waited for the spar expectantly. Most of them were only curious as to what was so special about the young man to be able to comprehend the saber intent not even they could comprehend.

Xiang Shaoyun and the eighth elder stood facing each other, neither taking the initiative to attack first.

Xiang Shaoyun finally opened his mouth, ”Since you are the elder, you should attack first.”

”Hmph. You are the junior. How can I take advantage of a junior? You first,” said the eighth elder with a snort. From Xiang Shaoyun's eyes, he could see how little the young man cared about him. It further inflamed the anger within him as he thought, So c.o.c.ky at such a young age? Looks like I will have to teach him a proper lesson.

”If I attack first, you won't have the chance to do anything,” Xiang Shaoyun said nonchalantly. That wasn't him being c.o.c.ky. He simply had absolute confidence in himself.

”What big words. Don't cry that I'm bullying you later, then,” said the eighth elder. He had a bad temper, and he was losing patience dealing with an arrogant young man. He dashed forward, drew his sword, and slashed at Xiang Shaoyun.

”Sculpting the Moon!”

Blue sword energy rippled out with an astonis.h.i.+ng might, as if it was capable of carving even the moon high in the sky. Xiang Shaoyun stood still, his expression serene. He did not look like he was going to do anything at all. When the attack was about to arrive, he finally moved; his figure gently drifted to the side and avoided the attack. The eighth elder was somewhat astonished, but he felt more anger—anger that his opponent did not even bother to hit back.

”Let's see how many times you can dodge! Sculpting the Sun!” The eighth elder's sword split into two swords as he attacked Xiang Shaoyun from two different directions at an even faster speed.

The entirety of the sword move was laid bare before Xiang Shaoyun's wondrous eyes. With his wondrous footwork, he once again dodged the attack.

”Sculpting the Stars!”

Without pause, the eighth elder mustered all his strength and sent forth his third attack, vowing to defeat Xiang Shaoyun with it. The sword energy swept down toward Xiang Shaoyun like a ma.s.sive curtain.

The crowd around them cheered when they saw the incomparably enchanting swordplay. They all believed that Xiang Shaoyun would not be able to avoid it.

This time, Xiang Shaoyun did not dodge. He lifted his saber and casually slashed it toward the incoming sword. The slash appeared slow, yet the saber intent moved at an incredibly fast speed. All everyone could see was a flash before the saber energy disappeared.

After the swing of the saber, the world seemed to have gone still, including the eighth elder's attack frozen in midair. As for the eighth elder himself, he stood completely still, as if Xiang Shaoyun had frozen him.
