Xiao Chen's World Flash did not pose any threat to Bai Tao. At his level, World Flash had already been used to perfection. As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Tao's figure instantly disappeared from the spot. He had also used World Flash.
Bai Tao's World Flash was obviously much more than Xiao Chen's. Of course, the difference in speed between the two was not that big. After all, World Flash was different from movement techniques. It was almost impossible to improve it.
The two of them kept using World Flash in the Sword Realm. At the same time, the long swords in their hands kept colliding with each other.
However, Xiao Chen was obviously at a disadvantage every time they collided. Xiao Chen was really struggling to fight with Bai Tao. Moreover, Xiao Chen was constantly suppressed by Bai Tao in the Sword Realm.
It could be said that Xiao Chen was completely overwhelmed by Bai Tao even though they were at the same level. This was the first time Xiao Chen had ever felt something like this from someone at the same level as him.
Even the Evil Spirits did not give Xiao Chen such a feeling. Of course, the biggest difference between the two of them was undoubtedly their comprehension.
Although Xiao Chen had touched the threshold of Swordless Heart, he had not truly achieved Swordless Heart. As a result, Xiao Chen was naturally at a disadvantage in the battle with Bai Tao.
When Bai Tao casually slashed with his sword, Xiao Chen had to use at least three swords to block it. Under this situation, Xiao Chen's energy consumption was naturally much higher than Bai Tao's. Moreover, he might be injured if he was not careful.
However, as he fought fiercely with Bai Tao, Xiao Chen gradually gained a trace of understanding in his heart. He seemed to have grasped something, but he did not know how to describe it. It was a very mysterious feeling.
Bai Tao also felt the change in Xiao Chen. This was the precursor to breaking through Swordless Heart.
Xiao Chen had already touched the threshold of having no sword in his heart. At this moment, Xiao Chen's sword had clearly changed from before. Every slash of his sword was no longer as sharp as before. On the contrary, it was more restrained.
Of course, it was not that easy to break through the level of swordless heart. Xiao Chen was still a step away because Xiao Chen had not truly reached the state of swordless heart and selfless self.
When Xiao Chen truly forgot the swordsmanship in his mind and the sword in his heart, he would have truly broken through the Swordless Heart. But now, Xiao Chen was still a little bit away from that.
Only by forgetting the swordsmanship he had learned and breaking these inherent shackles could he achieve the state of having no sword in his heart. By then, Xiao Chen would no longer need any swordsmanship.
Just like Bai Tao, there was no pattern to his sword at all. It was not a swordsmanship at all. In other words, every slash of Bai Tao's sword was a swordsmanship that followed his heart.
A smirk was seen in Bai Tao's eyes as he fought with Xiao Chen. However, Bai Tao did not use any killing moves from beginning to end, as he was deliberately complying with Xiao Chen's breakthrough to the level of having no sword in his heart.
Most of the time, Bai Tao was like a teacher, personally demonstrating and guiding Xiao Chen to touch the threshold of the Swordless Heart, to comprehend the state of selflessness and selflessness.
The battle between the two was not so much a challenge, but a great opportunity given by Bai Tao to Xiao Chen.
Bai Tao must have done this because of the Immortal Demon Order. Although he did not know why Bai Tao and the other three were on the Immortal Demon Road, it must be related to Mu Lingxian. In this case, Bai Tao should value the Immortal Demon Order very much.
Xiao Chen had the Immortal Demon Order, so he was naturally different from the others. Secondly, it was Xiao Chen himself.
Xiao Chen was also a swordsman, and while he was young, he was extremely talented. He had relied on his talent in battle to reach the threshold of having no sword in his heart. Such talent made Bai Tao feel a sense of appreciation for such a talent.
Because of these two points, Bai Tao was willing to guide Xiao Chen and was willing to give Xiao Chen such a good fortune. Of course, whether he could succeed in breaking through the Swordless Heart in the end would depend on Xiao Chen's own perception and talent.
Bai Tao continued to exchange swords with Xiao Chen. The strength of Bai Tao's sword was just right, so that Xiao Chen could clearly feel what the Swordless Heart should be like.
In the beginning, Xiao Chen deliberately tried to comprehend Bai Tao's sword, but Bai Tao said indifferently, "You don't have to deliberately comprehend it. The Swordless Heart is about the state of selflessness and selflessness. Relax your mind and let nature take its course."
The Swordless Heart was not forcibly comprehended. One had to learn to let go, to let go of everything.
After hearing Bai Tao's words, Xiao Chen also gave up on comprehending it. However, because of this, the sword in Xiao Chen's hand was getting closer to the Swordless Heart level. Under Bai Tao's deliberate guidance, Xiao Chen also began to transform and sublimate. In other words, Xiao Chen's swordsmanship had transformed and sublimated.
Xiao Chen could no longer remember the swordsmanship in his mind. When he attacked, he could no longer follow those rules and regulations. Instead, he could do it casually.
This was one of the characteristics of the Swordless Heart. After all, no matter how strong the swordsmanship was, there would always be a limit. And this limit was like a wall for a sword cultivator, a wall that prevented one from reaching the peak.
Only by breaking this wall and walking out of the restrictions of the inherent swordsmanship could one truly complete the transformation.
Without restrictions, one would be the strongest. A truly powerful sword cultivator did not need any swordsmanship, because their casual attack was enough to be regarded as the strongest swordsmanship in the world. This was what it meant to return to one's natural state.
No longer bound by the restrictions of the previous swordsmanship, Xiao Chen's every attack could be said to be without any rules or regulations. It could also be said to be extremely exquisite.
He gradually forgot about the swordsmanship in his heart and gradually forgot about himself. Everything was done instinctively.
Feeling the change in Xiao Chen, the smile in Bai Tao's eyes deepened. He nodded slightly. Xiao Chen's progress was faster than he had expected. Now, it could be said that he had already crossed the threshold of the Swordless Heart level.
It seemed that he should give Xiao Chen some pressure so that he could really take that last half-step.
Thinking of this, Bai Tao slashed out with his sword. Bai Tao suppressed his cultivation to the half-step Emperor Realm, but he did not hold back at all.
Compared to before, the power of Bai Tao's sword had increased by several times. At the same time, as the sword swept out, Bai Tao said with a smile.
"Take this sword, and this battle will be considered a victory for you."
Bai Tao's sword was forcing Xiao Chen to take that last half-step and truly enter the threshold of the Swordless Heart level.
It was a sword without the slightest sharpness. Facing Bai Tao's sword, Xiao Chen did not choose to dodge. At the same time, Xiao Chen did not answer Bai Tao's words, as if he did not hear him at all.
