As the azure blue halo enveloped him, Heartless looked like an otherworldly immortal.
"My master, Jian Xilai, has inherited the Kun Peng Sword Sect. His Kun Peng Sword Technique has dominated the world, and he has been a god of swords for decades. He has never been defeated in a duel of swords! My sister and I have been cultivating in the Kun Peng Sword Technique since we were young. I am a genius in the way of the sword, having gained insight into the lower form of the Kun Peng. My sister is even stronger, having gained insight into the middle form of the Kun Peng! With the lower form of the Kun Peng, I have only been defeated by my sister in a duel of swords with my peers! "
As Heartless said this, he suddenly slashed to his side. An azure blue sword beam immediately flew out and transformed into a sword beam like a water wave. The water wave suddenly froze into frost before finally shattering into snowflakes. As the snowflakes fluttered down, every petal contained infinite sword intent. When they landed on the ground, they left sword scars.
The sword transmuted into water, the water condensed into frost, the frost shattered into snow, and the snow floated like a sword!
All these strange changes happened in an instant. It was a coherent and complete scene that was difficult to discern with the naked eye. It felt like every layer of the sword beam had a different sword intent, and every layer of sword intent seemed to contain the laws of the sword!
"This is the lower form of the Kun Peng — Kun in the Northern Underworld, Three Thousand Waters with a Sweep of its Tail!"
Heartless looked at Shi Xiaobai and said, "You will be defeated by this sword!"
You will be defeated by this sword!
These words were said in a domineering manner!
Shi Xiaobai gaped slightly. Of course, he was not stunned, but alarmed — Holy shit, the Kun Peng Sword Technique was that awesome?
Shi Xiaobai had gained insight into the upper form of the Kun Peng from the Kun Peng mantra, and had even cultivated it to the Familiarized Proficiency realm. However, he did not find it to be that strong. He only felt that compared to the golden-haired woman in silver armor who used a golden sword beam that filled the world, there was a huge difference.
But at this moment, Heartless was praising the Kun Peng Sword Technique to the heavens!
"Could It be that This King's opening method is wrong?"
Shi Xiaobai was puzzled.
The lower form of the Kun Peng Sword Technique that Heartless used was something that Shi Xiaobai had observed several times from Sunless. However, Sunless's lower form of the Kun Peng Sword Technique was not as intricate as Heartless'. It did not have the four transformations of sword transmuting into water, and it only emitted a bone-chilling sword intent.
However, Sunless' Kun Peng middle sword was able to slash out a Bladestorm. The sword transmuted into a wind that sped past, slashing out thousands of dense sword beams.
From Shi Xiaobai's observation, he believed that the low-grade Kun Peng and mid-grade Kun Peng used the power of low temperatures and sword transformations that transformed into wind. It corresponded with the high-grade Kun Peng's power of high temperatures and sword transformations that transformed into fire.
But now, it didn't seem to be the case.
When Shi Xiaobai thought of this point of suspicion, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sunless' lower form of the Kun Peng has yet to attain its essence!"
Shi Xiaobai came to this conclusion!
Sunless had focused on cultivating the middle form of the Kun Peng, so she had reached the realm of transforming her sword into wind. However, she had neglected cultivating the lower form of the Kun Peng, so she did not gain any insight into its essence!
As for Heartless, he was the exact opposite. He was unable to comprehend the middle form of the Kun Peng, so he placed all his efforts on the lower form of the Kun Peng. As such, he cultivated to the realm of Sword Transmuting Water!
There is a Kun in the Northern Underworld, swinging its tail across three thousand waters!
Transforming into a Peng, spreading its wings for ten thousand li!
This was the essence of the Kun Peng Sword Technique. The Kun swam in water, so the sword transmuted into water. The Peng flew in the wind, so the sword transmuted into wind!
In that case, the low-grade Kun Peng and the mid-grade Kun Peng had one move as the Kun Sword and the other as the Peng Sword. Only by combining the two would it form the complete Kun Peng Sword!
But if that was the case, what was up with the upper form of the Kun Peng?
Kun-Stewing in a wok?
Two grills of roasted Peng?
Compared to the Three Thousand Li Wind and Ten Thousand Li Spreading Wings, the upper form of the Kun Peng did not look like the Kun Peng Sword Technique at all. Not only did it look superfluous, it also seemed like …
Shi Xiaobai suddenly thought of something as his eyes lit up!
He thought of a possibility!
Shi Xiaobai's thinking speed was extremely fast and his mind was filled with ideas. His imagination was extremely rich and exaggerated. In just a few seconds, he had inferred a shocking possibility from a simple discovery!
Shi Xiaobai raised his sword with his left hand as his eyes sparkled like stars. A smile suffused across his lips.
Upon seeing this, Heartless had an ominous feeling, but he did not say another word. He raised his sword and charged at Shi Xiaobai!
"Watch out!"
Heartless slashed out!
The sword transmuted into water as sword intent surged, solidified, shattered, and floated down. Snowflakes that contained sword beams began falling from Shi Xiaobai's head!
Shi Xiaobai's expression was calm. He did not have any intention of dodging. Instead, he held his sword in his left hand and slashed at the snowflake sword beams that filled the sky!
This slash looked extremely casual, as though he was just raising his sword and gently slashing it across the sky.
However, after this slash, the snowflakes that filled the sky instantly melted and evaporated, turning into boiling bubbles that floated up into the sky!
Heartless immediately stared with widened eyes. His eyes were filled with incredulity!
The snowflakes that filled the sky were not ordinary snowflakes, but bone-chilling sword beams. How could they be melted and evaporated into water vapor?
The smile on Shi Xiaobai's lips deepened.
Heartless was alarmed, but he immediately slashed out again!
This slash was no longer the snowflakes that filled the sky. Instead, it was like an azure blue water wave!
The Kun Sword had three forms. The first was a water wave, the second was an ice blade, and the third was a snowflake. This strike was the Water Wave Sword!
However, instead of calling it a water wave, it was more accurate to call it a gigantic wave in the sky. The sword beam swept out like a gigantic wave as it surged towards Shi Xiaobai. If he was inundated by the sword beam, he would probably be instantly devoured by the sword beam in the water wave!
The sword wave churned at an astonishing speed, but Shi Xiaobai remained extremely calm as he casually slashed out again.
When the sword appeared, a transparent sword beam collided with the sword wave. The sound of boiling water immediately resounded as the azure blue sword beam was instantly evaporated, turning into a white mist that rose into the sky.
Heartless drew a gasp and said in surprise, "What sword is this?"
What sword technique could instantly vanquish the Kun Peng Sword Technique's sword intent, evaporating all the sword beams?
Shi Xiaobai did not answer. This strike was obviously 'Kun-Stewing Wok'. If it were in the past, he would have said it was the Kun Peng Sword Technique, but at this moment, he no longer thought so!
'Kun-Stewing Wok' was clearly a sword technique that was specially used to counter the Kun Peng's inferior sword technique, 'Kun Sword'!
Water wave?
Ice blade?
Snowflake?
Who cares what kind of water it was with a flick of its tail. It would all be evaporated with the power of high temperatures!
Of course, the so-called evaporation was not evaporation in the physical sense. The power of high temperatures was not purely high temperatures either. It referred to the fact that the sword beams from 'Kun-Stewing Wok' could 'evaporate' the sword beams from the Kun Sword!
This was an extremely simple and crude restraint. It was completely unreasonable!
Seeing Shi Xiaobai not answer, Heartless did not press further. He slashed out with the Kun Sword in silence once again. This strike was easily resolved by Shi Xiaobai without any suspense.
However, Heartless did not stop as he constantly slashed out with the Kun Sword!
He carefully observed Shi Xiaobai's sword technique and sensed the sword intent of each strike. From there, he found the secret of the sword!
Shi Xiaobai seemed to read Heartless' thoughts as he cooperatively used Kun-Stewing Wok to destroy every sword beam from Heartless.
After a long while, Heartless suddenly stared with widened eyes as he said in horror, "This is … the Kun Peng Sword Technique!?"
