He bet on Shui Ruge to win, but as for how he would win the fight, in what manner, and at what cultivation realm, there were no limitations specified.
"I saw him twice when I sent him to the Formless Divine Mountain. After that, I went north and only returned a few days ago. During this period, I only heard rumors about him and never saw him make a move firsthand."
Zong Sanping deemed those rumors to be exaggerated, likely the result of fellow disciples boasting.
"I haven’t seen him either."
In Jian Cangfeng’s eyes, there was an unusual luminescence: "However, Junior Sister Ye told me that even Master Su was astonished by Chu Xisheng’s sword speed."
At this moment, outside the crowd, Chu Ming had already stood up from the chair, her face as dark as iron.
That guy actually managed to defeat Shui Ruge at the same cultivation level!
"Good sword skill, this strike can no longer be described simply as ’fast’."
As this aged voice rang out, the figure of Long Heihu from ’Tiger Roar Dragon Soar’ appeared beside Chu Ming: "The Qingyun List established by the Debating Martial Arts Tower this time clearly had an intent to undermine Chu Xisheng. However, this time they might have hit the mark unexpectedly."
Chu Ming felt even less relieved, only feeling a boiling frustration building up within her chest.
Since encountering this scoundrel, there hasn’t been a single day of peace.
And just as the surrounding people were chattering, two points of blood mist silently exploded at the back of Shui Ruge’s head.
Among the six golden needles, two were forcibly shot out by his True Yuan, and Shui Ruge’s cultivation aura rapidly heightened.
Seeing this, Chu Xisheng’s eyes showed an expression of admiration: "I told you before, this is not necessary. At the same cultivation level, you are not my match in just a few moves."
Shui Ruge’s expression was calm: "Your sword skill is extremely strong, the strongest I’ve ever seen in my life. Only by unsealing the Fifth Grade cultivation can I have the capability to battle you."
"Fifth Rank Lower is still not enough."
Chu Xisheng shook his head: "You overestimate yourself."
Shui Ruge said nothing, his figure suddenly flashed, appearing behind Chu Xisheng once again in an instant flash.
This time, Shui Ruge did not use his innate ability but directly traversed the void with the Ziwei Heavenly Sword.
Chu Xisheng gave up the instant flash ability as his ’Cloud Shadow Instant Body’ could only be used a few times.
The Ziwei inheritance, in the Fifth Grade realm, can already traverse short distances through the void, although it can’t last long, it’s much stronger than his.
However, in the next moment, another Jade Ruler Gold Standard Blade hidden in its sheath suddenly unsheathed.
With the shimmer of the jade-white blade, time seemingly paused for an instant around them.
Simultaneously, Chu Xisheng’s ’Heaven Slaying’ Sword Intent also annihilated part of Shui Ruge’s thoughts.
He still employed the previous extreme move.
Three-Phases Sky Slaughter Blade * One Strike Kills Ten Thousand!
This strike from Chu Xisheng’s Jade Blade resounded with a sonic boom as the sharp and absolute Sword Energy swept across a distance of four zhang, slicing every microspeck of dust in its path in two.
Shui Ruge, however, timely retreated. Though Chu Xisheng annihilated many of his thoughts, even making him momentarily forget to channel True Yuan into his sword, he couldn’t annihilate the thought of his retreat.
With an extraordinarily serious expression, Shui Ruge exchanged a glance with Chu Xisheng, after which two more golden needles exploded out at the back of his head.
This person’s divine soul power is so strong, almost comparable to Third Grade.
Therefore, with ease, he could ’slay’ part of his thoughts.
Shui Ruge had no choice but to continue enhancing his cultivation to increase resistance against the Heaven Slaying Blade.
A hundred zhang behind Shui Ruge, the young disciple looked incredulous.
His master, whose cultivation had risen to Fifth Rank Lower, still couldn’t withstand a few moves from Chu Xisheng!
This Infinite Blade Lord, could he really be this formidable?
Chu Xisheng, though, held a blade in each hand, shaking his head: "There’s no need to keep the remaining two, I’m not afraid of you taking advantage, better to unseal them at once than later."
And at this moment, inside the teahouse not far away, Hu Kan and Hu Lai involuntarily turned their heads to glance at each other.
In both of their minds, there was the same thought.
Their Brother Chu’s Martial Arts, surprisingly elevated to this level!
The name of the Infinite Blade Lord, truly deserved!
Those useless ones in the Debating Martial Arts Tower, this time the blind cat caught the dead mouse.
