Even though Shen Zhenyi had won a match today, not many people were paying attention to him. It was just that the innkeeper and the waiters were more polite, but most of the other martial artists thought that he was just lucky and didn't care.
On the other hand, Young Master Yu's place next door was bustling with activity. He had also won the first match, so he was happy and had a big banquet.
Cynanchum Chinense looked at the lively scene opposite her and said disdainfully, "What a good-for-nothing. They are so happy just because they won a match. How can they be as calm as Master?"
Princess Long smiled and said, "Master has already reached the realm of being indifferent. What is there to compare with them?"
The two looked back and saw that Shen Zhenyi's small building was silent. They didn't need to look to know that their master was sitting alone in his room, comprehending the way of the sword.
Cynanchum Chinense suddenly felt something and asked, "Why do you think Master is working so hard? His way of the sword is already far beyond the reach of ordinary people. It will be enough for him to reach the top in the future … Why is he working so hard? "
Princess Long was silent for a long time before she replied, "You told me before that when Master was in the Nine Underworlds, he was already invincible, but he never let his guard down. What he did was just to go one step further and reach the Moon Severing Celestial Realm."
"Is the current World of Eight Cultivators just Master's shackles? Is he going to go to another level sooner or later?"
From the information that Shen Zhenyi revealed, the two of them guessed that there was probably a higher level world beyond the World of Eight Cultivators.
"I really don't know what it will be like beyond the World of Eight Cultivators."
Cynanchum Chinense was fascinated.
Princess Long said enviously, "You're lucky. At least you experienced the Moon Decapitation Ascension once. I still don't know what the Moon Decapitation Ascension will be like …"
Cynanchum Chinense thought for a while and shook her head. "Apart from the wonderful battle between Master and Mister Five Swords, where he used the White Pagoda to kill people, it felt like the world changed the next day. I didn't feel anything strange."
He wondered what would happen the next time the Moon Decapitation would ascend to immortality.
While the two female disciples were indulging in their fantasies, Shen Zhenyi had a visitor in his room.
Shen Zhenyi did not light the lamp.
Darkness enveloped the entire room, but in the darkness, there was suddenly something wriggling, as if some terrifying creature had appeared.
"The Shadow Evasion Technique is indeed a marvelous Lightness Skill. I wonder which Shadow Guard of the Great Moon Dynasty is here. Please show yourself."
Shen Zhenyi's gaze swept across the crowd. He did not panic, nor was he in a hurry to make a move. He only spoke softly to invite the guests.
The man in the darkness was startled.
"A mere guest from the Nine Serenities actually knows the Shadow Evasion Method and the Shadow Guards of the Great Moon Dynasty. You're quite knowledgeable."
That voice was hoarse, like the grinding sound of sandpaper, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
A man dressed in black slowly walked out of the darkness and stood in front of Shen Zhenyi, about ten feet away.
"I am the ninth shadow guard, Mu Shou."
Since he had been seen through, there was no need to hide, so he introduced himself.
Shen Zhenyi glanced at him.
"The Moon Decapitation ascended to immortality less than a hundred years ago, but you were able to gain the trust of the royal family and become a Shadow Guard. Do you have the blood of the Chanyu family of the Great Moon Dynasty?"
He shook his head and continued, "No, you should be born as a member of the Shadow Clan. How did you end up in the Nine Serenities?"
The Shadow Clan members were the guards of the Chanyu family of the Great Moon Dynasty. Every one of them was carefully selected. Even if they made a mistake, they would not be banished to the Nine Serenities. In fact, the royal family would not allow the blood of the Shadow Clan to leak out. They would definitely kill them without mercy.
"How do you know?"
Mu Shou was even more shocked. He had only stood in front of Shen Zhenyi for a few seconds, but he felt as if he had been seen through. He had no secrets at all.
Before he made a move, he was already sweating profusely.
Shen Zhenyi did not answer him. Instead, he asked, "Did you come here today to kill me?"
Mu Shou was stunned. Only then did he remember the purpose of his visit. "I was ordered to test the quality of a young swordsman like you. If you can't withstand my sword … then you can't blame anyone for your death."
The royal family viewed human lives as worthless. If Shen Zhenyi could withstand Mu Shou's sword, then perhaps Princess Xu Yan would look at him differently.
If he died … then he would just be a passerby.
Shen Zhenyi smiled. "Then if you were to use your sword and be killed by me, then I'm afraid the Lord wouldn't care, right?"
Mu Shou's face was ashen. He said coldly, "That depends on whether you have the ability."
The Shadow Guards were out on a mission. If they were killed, then they were naturally incompetent. The Lord would not shed a single tear for them.
However, Mu Shou still felt a little embarrassed when Shen Zhenyi exposed him.
He was not good with words. Since there was a disagreement, then he would use his sword.
No one knew where the Shadow Guard's sword was hidden. In the darkness, he casually grasped it, and the sword aura filled the entire room.
It was as if the darkness itself was the sword in his hand.
Shen Zhenyi nodded slightly and smiled. "Unorthodox methods. When practiced to the extreme, it is somewhat interesting. Unfortunately, there is no hope for the Great Dao of Swordsmanship."
He was still standing quietly. As far as the eye could see, there was a bit of light that pierced through the darkness!
Mu Shou's body trembled. He began to take this opponent seriously.
This person was able to defeat Wan Chuanzhou in the arena. It was not just a fluke.
"You don't see, but your eyes emit light. I didn't expect you to have cultivated to the realm of martial arts where you can emit light by yourself. But if you want to break my Shadow Sword, it won't be so easy!"
While shouting, Mu Shou did not move, but he had already made a move!
The darkness swept over like a whirlpool, wanting to completely wrap Shen Zhenyi. In the darkness, there was an unparalleled sword intent. Once sucked in, it would definitely shatter into pieces.
Shen Zhenyi did not move. His gaze did not even turn.
He just quietly looked to the left in front of him. This was the key to the sword move.
As expected, Mu Shou's sword was halfway through. There was a slight stagnation. The darkness dispersed and was pierced by the dazzling light!
Mu Shou had a bad feeling. He spread his black clothes and flew back like a big bat, sticking close to the wall.
With a sizzling sound, the hair on his forehead was cut in two by the invisible light sword aura. It floated in the air.
Mu Shou's face was as pale as a corpse.
In one move, he was completely defeated.
Shen Zhenyi could cut off his hair. Naturally, he could also easily cut off his head. In a fight between masters, one sword move could determine the winner!
