C42 (1/2)

Good sword qi!

I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. It seemed that I couldn't hold back anymore either.

Pulling out my saber, I gently stroke the blade of the saber. The saber spun around and slashed towards Qiu Xuan's head!

There were a total of eight blade shadows that were several zhang in length. They surrounded Qiu Xuan in a circle and suddenly chopped down! An immense pressure pressed down on the ground, yet Qiu Xuan stood there motionless, his eyes filled with concentration. With a move of his hands, four sword Qis flew out and circled around Qiu Xuan.

But in an instant, the eight blade shadows arrived. Qiu Xuan wasn't in a hurry. He waved his hand and the four sword qi turned into eight sword shadows. There was no sound as the swords and sabers clashed. The eight saber shadows that I had slashed out quietly vanished, but they had suddenly pierced out from the ground!

This is the hallucination technique that I learned from the Great Deception. However, he could only accomplish this with all his might. It was not hard for a powerful individual to see through this.

Qiu Xuan seemed to have already known that the eight sword energies didn't slow down in the slightest. Instead, they turned a corner and intersected with each other, colliding with the eight blade shadows that shot out from the ground. Qiu Xuan's sword qi had already been cultivated to a level where it could move according to his will. It seemed like there would be no suspense in this battle.

The blade shadows dispersed as I expected, and eight sword energies headed straight for me! I turned the blade to the side and raised it diagonally, just in time to block it! However, the huge impact from the blade kept pushing me backwards. I could almost hear the bones in my body crackling.

”Hah!” With a loud roar, my right foot suddenly stomped on the ground. I stopped in my tracks, and just as I was about to slash out my sword qi, Qiu Xuan's figure had already arrived.

”Bam!” The blade broke, and Qiu Xuan's sword aura was just a hair's breadth away from piercing through my forehead. Even though my entire body was covered in spirit armor at that moment, I still felt that I would die without a doubt if he stabbed with this sword.

However, I believe that he will not kill me. I am a member of the Baiyu Sect, and a mere spar is enough to kill the young talent in my sect. Even if he has the backing of the Sky Sect, he will still be severely punished.

As I expected, Qiu Xuan looked at me and slowly drew her sword.

”You didn't do your best.”

Indeed, I kept my power at 80%, all so that I wouldn't reveal too much. Even when I fought against the tiger demon Wu Qing, I didn't fully unleash my powers.

”You haven't even unsheathed your sword yet, and I'm not even using my full strength yet. What effect does that have?”

”You, look like a person.”

”Who?”

”Zhang Fugui!”

I was shocked. Qiu Xuan is definitely a monster! I still trust in the Great Deception Technique. I didn't even notice any difference between me and his disciple, yet Qiu Xuan found out that my physique had completely changed from before after a single move from me!

”Senior Brother, you must be joking. Zhang Fugui is a taboo within the Sky Sect. How could someone from my White Jade Sect be like him?!”

Qiu Xuan shook his head. He turned a deaf ear to my words and left.

After exchanging blows with him for a short moment, we had already alerted many people. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I had no choice but to quickly flee from the other direction.

” Smelly brat, did you cause a commotion? ”

As soon as he returned to his room, he was interrogated by Pu Xuan.

”Em, hehe. Master, my hands are itchy, so I just want to exchange a few moves with the Senior Brother from the Sky Sect.”

”Why are you causing trouble for me at this critical juncture? Can't you just restrain your temper and stay here until tomorrow?” Puxuan stared at me with wide eyes, puffing his beard.

”Em, master, look, didn't I go to understand their overall strength? They already said that knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is enough to win a hundred battles. When I fight with them, I can roughly guess Ling Kong's true strength.”

”You still dare to argue with me …” ”Tell me, who did you fight with and what was the result?”

I straightened my expression and slowly spoke, ”Qiu Xuan should be the third most talented among the thirteen elites. In the end, I was defeated in a single move.”

”What!” This time, not only Pu Xuan, Changyun and Qi He both stood up. Only Elder Bai was still sitting cross-legged, but his eyes were already looking at me.
