Chapter 742 (1/2)
The surroundings descended into an uproar as well as confusion . Yin Xiaochou had clearly cut through Li Qingshan’s sword with that slash and landed the attack on him . Even if he held back and did not try to kill him in a single stroke, he only needed to use a bit more force, and Li Qingshan would be dead since Yin Xiaochou was wielding such a powerful weapon . Why had Yin Xiaochou admitted defeat instead?
Yin Xiaochou’s eyes were filled with a reluctance to accept this . Defeat had come far too suddenly, and it all felt so surreal . By the time he returned to his senses, he immediately fell down from his peak of success .
He had become shocked the moment the swords clashed . His opponent clearly was not a sword cultivator, but his sword intent actually matched his .
Although he still managed to cut through Li Qingshan’s sword with the sharpness of the Breaking Water sword and land a blow on Li Qingshan, his sword was unable to progress an inch further .
Li Qingshan’s right hand had demonified . His fingers were sharp like blades, gripping the Breaking Water sword firmly . Demon qi surged between his fingers . He did not use the great strength of the ox demon . He only used his strength as a Demon Commander to easily catch the Breaking Water sword that had run out of power .
If he were wielding a slightly better sword, even just an inferior arcane artifact, it probably wouldn’t be like this right now! And, he’s only shown the tip of the iceberg with the Demon Suppression Statuary .
Yin Xiaochou thought that and experienced another deep sense of refusal to accept this . He had not even witnessed his opponent’s true strength but could only forfeit . That was simply not a good feeling . However, if he refused to accept defeat, then he would not have the right to be the Breaking Water sword’s master .
However, Yin Xiaochou’s decisiveness in admitting defeat also left Li Qingshan rather surprised . Originally, Li Qingshan thought he would put up a little more of a struggle! That would be perfect for him to demonstrate the power of the Demon Suppression Statuary and announce he had undergone the second heavenly tribulation . Once that reached Si Qing’s ears, he could continue with the next step of his plan!
Li Qingshan released the Breaking Water sword and said patiently, “I think you can try again . After all, I haven’t harmed you!”
“That won’t be necessary . I’m not your opponent . Even if we try a hundred times, a thousand times, the end result won’t change! Sure enough, a great master really does produce outstanding disciples!”

Yin Xiaochou took a step back, sheathed his sword, clasped his hands, and bowed .
The Breaking Water sword was different from the Green Ruins sword . It could not create a Green Ruins Illusion, nor could it make its master invincible by scattering him as light .
The sword intent of the Breaking Water sword was terse and resolute . With a slash, whether it was a human or a ghost, a daemon or a demon, they would all be cut down .
Although it was only a sword, he had already poured all of his mental and physical efforts into it . Now that the sword intent had suffered defeat, continuing with the battle was merely asking to be humiliated . However, he truly wanted to know just how powerful he was!
“Then forget about it!” Li Qingshan sighed . If he had known this earlier, he would have gone easy on him and gone for something like another three hundred bouts at the very least!
Thinking about the past, just Fu Qingjin alone could force “Northmoon” into dire straits, but now, against Yin Xiaochou who was even stronger than Fu Qingjin, he could not even make “Li Qingshan” use his full strength . Sure enough, only loneliness accompanies great masters, but I better work a little harder to become a little lonelier!
“May I ask what your current realm of cultivation is, sir?”
Yin Xiaochou could not help but ask . He really did not understand how Li Qingshan, who did not even have an arcane treasure on him, managed to defeat him who wielded the Breaking Water sword . Their comprehension of the path of the sword should have been similar . The Demon Suppression Statuary was powerful, but he practised the secret techniques of the Sword Collection palace too .
This kid’s got some sense about him! Li Qingshan praised inside .

Li Qingshan said sincerely, “Don’t be too downhearted . I’ve already undergone the second heavenly tribulation, so my realm of cultivation is higher than yours . Otherwise, who knows what the result of this battle might be!”
“How old are you?”
