Chapter 183: Commoner vs “Immortal,” Chen Shisan: I Just Need to Swing My Sword
Before the cultivator hosting the sword discussion conference could finish his speech, Chen Shisan quietly walked to the center of the venue.
Seeing this, the host was momentarily stunned.
“This young friend, I haven’t announced the rules yet.”
“Would you like to wait a bit longer?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shisan glanced at him and straightforwardly said, “Someone asked me to take away the Xuan Bird, so here I am.”
“You can continue with your rules; after you’re done, I’ll take the Xuan Bird away.”
Hearing these words, many sword cultivators first looked surprised, then burst into laughter.
It was clear that this young man had no cultivation at all.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have been tricked out by his elders, with the purpose being for him to gain some experience.
Thinking this, a man smiled and said, “Young man, this reward is reserved for the most powerful person.”
“Do you think you are the strongest person here?”
Facing the man’s inquiry, Chen Shisan did not hesitate at all, saying, “I’m probably not the strongest here, but I still need to take the Xuan Bird.”
“What if I don’t let you take it? Do you think you can defeat me?”
The man’s smile grew even brighter, but Chen Shisan replied seriously, “I just need to swing my sword and then take the Xuan Bird.”
“As for whether I succeed, that’s not something I need to consider.”
“Hahaha!”
Chen Shisan’s words made the man laugh heartily. It had been a long time since he had encountered such an interesting young man.
“Very well, ‘just swing my sword,’ we cultivators should have such fearless spirit.”
“Today, I will guide you and help elevate your swordsmanship.”
With that, the man stepped out from the crowd.
Seeing this, everyone stood up to watch what they thought would be a “spectacular battle.”
The young man in front of them was very weak, or perhaps he wasn’t even a cultivator at all.
Yet, this commoner received high praise from many cultivators.
To stand before an “immortal” as a commoner required tremendous courage.
What was even more commendable was that he uttered those words, “I just need to swing my sword.”
When he said this, his eyes were so pure, truly unaffected by external distractions.
How could someone not love such a young man?
Chen Shisan raised his incomplete True Martial Sword and stared intently at the man in front of him, searching earnestly for any weaknesses.
Seeing Chen Shisan’s serious demeanor, the man smiled slightly and said, “Boy, I’m about to make my move.”
As soon as he spoke, the man casually swung a sword qi towards Chen Shisan.
At the same time, Chen Shisan also drew his sword.
Interestingly, Chen Shisan drew his sword slightly earlier than the sword cultivator.
“Bang!”
Chen Shisan was sent flying by the sword qi.
His small body collided with a giant stone and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, someone in the crowd became displeased.
“Old friend, why did you hit him so hard?”
“This child is still just a normal person; what if you hurt him?”
Facing the complaint from a familiar person, the sword cultivator waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, I only used half of my strength. He’ll probably just get a little injured.”
“This child has a good temperament, unfortunately, he is too stubborn.”
“As the saying goes, too much rigidity leads to breaking. Sharpening his sharpness will do him good.”
“Even if you want this stubborn mule to bow, you should go practice a few thousand times before you say anything.”
Just as he was speaking, a lazy voice entered the man’s ears.

Looking up, he found that Chen Changsheng was already standing next to the cage.
Seeing this mysterious stranger, the sword cultivator instantly became alert.
The cage containing the Xuan Bird was only thirty steps away from him.
This person could appear silently, indicating that his strength was extraordinary.
At this moment, the battered Chen Shisan came over, with a faint trace of bl**d visible at the corner of his mouth.
“Xiancha, I won.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng laughed, “Beaten like this, how can you claim to have won?”
“Because I drew my sword first.”
“Drawing your sword first means winning?”
“Yes, I drew my sword first, so I would be the first to strike him.”
“But we are twenty steps apart, and I have no cultivation, so I can’t match his speed with sword qi.”
“However, within five steps, his sword qi won’t be faster than mine.”
Listening to Chen Shisan’s response, Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue.
“That makes sense, but you haven’t defeated him yet!”
“Keep going, I support you.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s request, Chen Shisan gave him a look and then quietly started dragging the cage.
“No, I told you to keep going, why are you pulling the cage?”
“You only asked me to take the Xuan Bird, not to fight them. Since they aren’t stopping me, why should I fight them?”
“But they are stopping me!”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s anxious expression, Chen Shisan calmly said, “If they stop you, that’s your problem. I just need to take the Xuan Bird.”
“Also, I may be quiet, but I’m not stupid.”
“You’re deliberately trying to trap me, hoping to see me fail. So now, I won’t help you deal with them.”
Chen Shisan’s serious expression successfully amused Chen Changsheng.
“You little guy, you speak slowly, but every word hits the mark.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s question, Chen Shisan pushed the cage while saying, “Tricking me aside, I still need to follow your instructions because we have a deal.”
With that, Chen Shisan pushed the cage even harder.
But facing the massive iron cage, Chen Shisan turned red from exertion and only managed to move it about an inch.
Glancing at the hardworking Chen Shisan, Chen Changsheng noticed the crowd laughing, “Please forgive the children’s ignorance.”
“They are just kids, don’t take it to heart. I’ve taken the Xuan Bird, everyone can disperse now.”
“Friend, taking away the Xuan Bird might not be that easy.”
“Which sect do you belong to? I don’t recall inviting you.”
The sword cultivator stopped Chen Changsheng who was about to leave.
Facing the man’s inquiry, Chen Changsheng pulled out an invitation card and said, “I am Wang Ermazi from Cangyun Mountain, and this is my fellow disciple Kou Dazui.”
“Indeed, I was invited this time. Friend might want to check again.”
Everyone: “…”
This seemed a bit perfunctory. Even if you came to cause trouble, you wouldn’t treat us like fools, right?
Have you ever thought about why Wang Ermazi is called Wang Ermazi?
You don’t even have any moles, so why call yourself Wang Ermazi?
“Is that so!”
“Unfortunately, I am acquainted with Wang Ermazi from Cangyun Mountain.”
“Jwang Ermazi was originally named Wang Er, and he got his nickname ‘Wang Ermazi’ due to his face full of moles.”
“May I ask, where are your ‘moles’?”
