“Inner…”
The burly man had just raised his halberd when he scratched his head again.
“You said you would give ten thousand taels of gold as a reward if I win, is that true?”
“Of course.”
Li Mo nodded and smiled modestly, “You don’t need to worry about that. Ten thousand taels of gold is still not difficult for me to come up with.”
“Then I’ll take that reward!”
The burly man’s face was filled with excitement.
He too had just entered the Guan Shen stage, and the cultivation method practiced by the Gate of Celestial Beams was slow yet powerful, making his body robust and known for its fighting prowess.
“I’ll first see what tricks he has.”
Below the arena, Wu Chushu watched the young man draw his sword with a smile, his expression serious.
He originally did not underestimate the disciples of sects like Qingyuan Sect.
But with ‘a pearl before swine,’ he couldn’t help but be serious and observe Li Mo’s approach.
This arena finally seemed to be on track.
The martial arts enthusiasts and onlookers below also turned their attention to the match.
“The book says Jiang Chen encounters danger, and it’s always Liu Wuyan who comes to save him.”
“This young man looks decent, I wonder how strong he is.”
“It shouldn’t be much of an issue, Li Ge is holding a sword.”
“What’s wrong with a swordsman holding a sword?”
“Brother, you really haven’t been to the bl**d Phoenix Secret Realm.”
After the two exchanged courtesies on the stage,
Li Mo slowly drew out the Yixiao Sword, and the small figure in his dantian shone brightly, with divine patterns glowing.
He only activated his consciousness soul, not using any other techniques.
A faint halo floated around him.
The Yixiao Sword trembled as if a drunkard were stabbing with a branch, without any order or pattern, causing many people to frown.
The young man looked so poor in appearance; his sword technique was simply unbearable to watch.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was using a mystical weapon, this might hardly be called a sword technique.
Of course, this was only the thought of some people.
This was Hengyun Sword City, once the holy land of swordsmanship.
Many people with keen eyes were present.
“If I were facing this one sword…” Wu Chushu realized something was off and started to imagine himself in the situation.
“There is a hint of the aura I observed from the Reflection Pearl…”
Huang Donglai, with an ordinary face, touched the bead in his pocket, his gaze full of surprise.
Zhong Zhenyue, the elder on the stage, also narrowed his eyes.
However,
Their feelings were not as direct as those of the burly man.
He felt bewildered.
Because the seemingly flawed and unremarkable sword pointed directly at his weakness.
Even he didn’t know that his initial stance had such a flaw.
What was even more bizarre was that changing tactics didn’t help.
As soon as he changed his moves, the sword targeted the new flaw he showed.
“Sigh… Never mind!”
The burly man decided not to hesitate anymore. If there was a flaw, then there was a flaw!
Force over finesse!
He twisted the halberd, gathering his qi, and attacked with intense killing intent.
This was a superior martial art from the Gate of Celestial Beams that he practiced every day.
Swift like lightning, though the changes were not many, they were sufficient.
This was something he learned from Tie Qi.
After returning from the bl**d Phoenix Secret Realm, Iron Brother not only made up for his physical deficiencies but also improved his martial arts skills. He claimed to have understood a very powerful hammering technique after observing it, leading to his enlightenment.
This understanding was passed on to him.
Everyone couldn’t help but marvel at the ferocity of his halberd technique.
“There’s a bit of the momentum of the Extreme Lightning Stabilization, combined with the Gate of Celestial Beams’ halberd killing technique, quite good.”
The young man’s voice left him stunned.
The sword technique was even harder to understand.
The Yixiao Sword moved like a gazelle hanging its horns, impossible to predict, striking the weak point of the halberd at an extremely strange angle.
Instantly, the thick and swift momentum paused.
Like clouds that had gathered for a long time, the thunder had struck, but no rain fell.
According to the theory, this basically meant the end. Li Mo did not pursue further.
“You have seven flaws.”
“Again!”
The burly man, after adjusting his breath, faced him seriously, brandishing his halberd.
He also held back his strength, focusing on martial arts.
“Your halberd technique is powerful yet restrained.”
“The real Extreme Lightning Stabilization, although it appears swift, is still a slow path.”
Warm reminder: If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your favorites to avoid losing it next time.
Less you wield a sword, casual and carefree.
While attacking, he pointed out the opponent’s weaknesses.
Still, it lacked order, yet he made it look elegant and refined.
The audience was stunned.
This wasn’t a duel, but clearly a guidance session.
Just now, they thought the young man’s sword technique was simple because it didn’t cause much commotion. It walked the path of returning to simplicity, but their vision was limited, thus unable to grasp its subtleties.
After all, the burly man’s level, placed in this summit, was considered mid-tier.
Yet, in front of Li Mo, he had no strength to compete head-on.
“Brother Jiang… truly… truly amazing.”
Jiang Chulong hugged the peach tree branch, her heart beating rapidly.
The purpose of this sword technique even resonated with her, creating a sense of mutual understanding.
It was similar to the teacher’s guidance on the Wild Grass Sword Canon…
“Taiyin…”
Ying Bing gazed at the young man wielding the sword, lost in thought.
She had known this sword technique for a long time.
What captivated her was a familiar aura.
Why would his consciousness soul contain the divine aura of Taiyin?
They had spent time together, and she knew him well, apart from observing his divine intentions.
Could it be that the system judged her combat power to be lower than Li Mo’s because of the divine intentions?
But this was even stranger!
Why could Li Mo observe Taiyin?!
…
On the high platform.
“Is it the Yi Sword Technique from Tian Shan Sword Manor?”
“No, I’ve understood the Yi Sword Technique, it’s definitely not like this.”
“Does he walk a path close to the mundane?”
“…”
The white-haired elders of Hengyun Sword City did not slam the table in surprise, even though they had new tables.
Apart from being surprised, they were more complex.
They exhausted the principles of swordsmanship.
Which of them wasn’t once a genius in swordsmanship, talented and outstanding, suppressing the crowd with their swords?
However, the more talented one was, the more hopeless this path became.
The more one knew, the more one realized their own ignorance.
Immortals may be ethereal, but the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths once existed.
No one has ever completed the path close to the mundane.
“Right.”
“Hmm?”
“Why is the Qingyuan Sect acting like this? Did their ancestors smoke green smoke?”
…
The exchange on the arena, or rather, the guidance, was nearing its end.
The burly man put away his halberd and bowed respectfully:
“Thank you for your guidance, I benefited greatly!”
“It’s nothing, I didn’t lose anything either.”
Li Mo modestly smiled and bowed with his sword.
While guiding the other party, he also transformed the other party’s approach into Dugu Nine Swords, turning it into his own thing.
Hmm… This step also solidified his martial arts comprehension.
Once accumulated to a certain extent, it was the time for further progress!
Who gains the most, isn’t really something that can be said.
“Take it.”
Li Mo took out a gold ticket according to his promise.
“No, no, how can I accept such a favor…”
“I promised, I naturally have to do it. This money is nothing.”
“This…”
The burly man looked at the young man’s smile, at his demeanor, and recalled his senior brother’s description of someone.
Handsome and graceful, treating money like dirt, helping others without reservation…
“Are you from the bl**d Phoenix Secret Realm…”
“Shh, I am now a swordsman.”
“Senior Brother, let me bow to you!”
…
Not far away.
Wu Chushu wiped the sweat on his forehead.
He saw Bai Jinghong and Cao Mu again.
