Chapter 572: Coming closer to the end (2) (1/2)
Azief knows why he swing his sword.
But Xi Feng, even though his swordsmanship is one of the top tier martial arts in the world, he did not know why he keeps swinging his sword.
As such, to Azief, the sword lack weight
He keeps wrecked by uncertainty. There is a contradiction to him. And that contradiction made his sword strike light and not heavy
Azief could see what Xi Feng wanted to do and he could see what he will become.
But Azief could not tell him that.
In the end, telling him might change what he will become and it is always important for one to seek the answer to such question by oneself.
Azief could only predict. But in the end, there is a reason why prediction is called a prediction. Because sometimes it did not come true.
Xi Feng had to understand it by himself. whether he become a man crazed killer or righteous swordsman, both possibilities exist for him
Azief never told him which path to take. He is only telling him that there is a path. To walk on it, to not walk on it, has always been one choice.
Xi Feng understood his position so he trained regularly during their journey.
Then there is the Temple of Xi.
Out of all the martial arts schools and the many sects that populated the vast land of the Yong Empire, that temple is the place Azief wanted to go the most.
Xi Feng also knows that his teacher had long express desire to go to the illustrious temple that is said to originate all the martial arts in the world
So, Xi Feng pushed that creaking wheelchair and they began their journey from Jiaping Pass.
Before he goes to the Temple, he had something to do at Ruo so, so they travelled to Ruo first to go to the Sword Residence
They went pass Xuan Pass and come down to Jianding. In Jianding as they were resting, Azief met the Sect master of the Cloud Abode, Li Dan.
Li Dan is known as the Old Man Seeking His Path. He is said to reside on the Heaven peak, the highest and loneliest peak in the Cloud Abode.
He was an old man but Azief could sense power bubbling underneath that weak appearance.
That night was a rainy night with thunder roaring up in the dark night. Li Dan appears outside the inn that he was staying in, standing on top of the roof of the adjacent buildings.
He declares his intention to duel and Xi Feng pushed Azief wheelchair out. The moment that declaration was uttered, the whole city knows about it.
Now, the whole city and the whole world knows that the Sword God had arrived at Yong.
The martial artist that heard the news quickly dropped whatever they were doing and rush as fast as possible to the Ruan Inn to see the once in a lifetime duel
Azief examines the Sect master of the Cloud Abode. Li Dan had white hair and white beard, he stands straight like he could never be bended and he had a scholarly aura.
The rain droplets seem to avoid to drop on Li Dan white and black robe that seems to be designed in according to Yin and Yang
The Sword God and the Old Master of the Clouds Li Dan have met! There were many powerful experts in the martial arts world. There is the Abbot of the Temple of Xi.
There is immortal Tian who had comprehended many martial arts and its essences and there is White Robed Lady Duan.
But out of all this many grandmaster, there is another powerful grandmaster of the martial arts world.
No one dares rank this grandmaster because of his status but also because no one had ever seen him fights against the other grandmaster.
Azief noticed that the Old Master of the Cloud Abode is nearly reaching the limit of this world peak power.
