Looking at the sword moves, Chen Nan's heart trembled. He felt a sense of déjà vu when he saw the moves.
Nine Yin Divine Claw!
Chen Nan remembered that these moves were very similar to the Nine Yin Divine Claw that Xuan Tianji had taught him. It was just that the claw technique had been converted into a sword move.
When he was young, he and his junior sister practiced martial arts together. Because Ye Yiyi was a woman, her physical strength was not as good as a man's. Therefore, she took the more agile path and paid more attention to moves. Chen Nan, on the other hand, preferred to use her momentum to overwhelm everything.
This Nine Yin Divine Claw was more feminine, and when facing an enemy, it focused more on winning with moves. Therefore, Ye Yiyi was very familiar with this set of claw techniques, while Chen Nan only casually practiced a few times without putting in any effort.
Compared to exquisite moves, he preferred the Rushing Thunder Hand, this kind of astonishing power, firm and overbearing martial arts.
Although Chen Nan did not put much effort into this claw technique, he had watched his junior sister practice it for so many years. Moreover, he had also practiced it before, so he was very clear about the moves. Therefore, he could see the similarities between the Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords and the Nine Yin Divine Claw.
The Black-haired Pheasant's Broken Sword Move corresponded to the third move of the Nine Yin Divine Claw. As long as the claw technique was converted into a sword move, it would be exactly the same.
"If only my junior sister was here."
Chen Nan sighed. He took out a black iron sword and held it in his hand. He began to study the sword moves.
His understanding of the Nine Yin Divine Claw was not even one-tenth of his junior sister's. If Ye Yiyi was here, she would only need to look at it a few times to combine the Broken Sword Move with the Nine Yin Divine Claw.
The Black-haired Pheasant's chicken feathers turned into a disdainful expression. "You are such a big man and you still want to rely on your junior sister. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"What does an idiot like you know? I don't want to bother with you."
After Chen Nan looked at the sword moves, he closed his eyes and reviewed the Nine Yin Divine Claw in his mind. Then, he unsheathed his sword and began to practice in the forest.
The black-feathered chicken's eyes widened when it saw Chen Nan's free and easy movements.
"Motherf * cker, how is this possible?!"
It could not believe its eyes. He had just started cultivating, so how could he have comprehended to such a level? Even if he was a genius, it was impossible for him to learn it at a glance!
It couldn't help but ask, "Boy, have you practiced this sword technique before?"
"I've never practiced before."
Chen Nan shook his head and stabbed his sword into the ground. Then, he formed a claw with his hands and performed the third move of the Nine Yin Claw. He looked at the Black-haired Pheasant and said, "What do you think of this claw technique?"
The Black-haired Pheasant clearly saw the similarities between this claw technique and the Broken Sword Style. He asked in shock, "What … what's going on?"
Chen Nan pulled out the long sword and continued to practice. He said, "This is my master's Nine Yin Divine Claws. Unfortunately, I don't pay much attention to the moves, so I just practiced it casually."
"Then what did you mean when you said that you have a junior sister?"
"My Junior Sister has already mastered this set of claw techniques to the point of perfection. If we don't talk about inner strength, just based on the moves, she is almost on par with my Master. Moreover, her comprehension of the moves is also higher than mine. If she were to practice the Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords, she would definitely be able to learn it in one go."
"I see!"
The Black-haired Pheasant nodded, then lay down on the ground and stopped moving.
Chen Nan thought that it would help him think of a solution, but he did not expect it to just fall asleep. As Chen Nan kicked a stone to hit its head, he continued to practice his sword technique.
The Black-haired Pheasant wailed like a ghost and flapped its wings in anger.
However, Chen Nan pretended not to see it and completely ignored it.
The sun rose from the east and set in the west. Chen Nan practiced for three whole days. His sword technique had improved by two levels.
Although he did not have any food in the forest, he still had a large amount of elixirs in his Storage Ring that he obtained from the Black-haired Pheasant. Absorbing the elixirs and Spiritual Qi from the elixirs was more effective than eating.
After three days, Chen Nan went to challenge the middle-aged man, but he was still defeated. He could only return to the forest and continue to practice his sword technique.
After practicing for ten days, Chen Nan felt that his understanding of the Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords had reached a certain level. Even if he continued to practice, it would be difficult for him to improve in a short period of time.
Walking to the stone tablet, Chen Nan carefully studied the middle-aged man's sword technique.
Two hours later, Chen Nan turned around with his sword and kicked the Black-haired Pheasant awake. "Stop sleeping. It's time to go."
The Black-haired Pheasant cursed a few times. Then, it poked the chicken's head with its wings and asked curiously, "You have a way to defeat him?"
"His cultivation is much higher than mine. Even if he suppresses his power, his understanding of the sword technique is much higher than mine. I can't defeat him." Chen Nan gripped the sword in his hand tightly. "However, I have a way to take the sword from his hand."
After saying that, Chen Nan walked towards the herb field.
Seeing Chen Nan come out, the middle-aged man walked out from the herb field. He waved his hand and said, "You are no match for me now. Go back and practice for three to five years. Then come and find me again."
Three to five years!
Chen Nan could not wait that long. Su Qingqing could not afford to wait that long.
He had already wasted fifteen days on this stage. He did not know how difficult it would be later. Chen Nan did not dare to waste any more time. As long as he could make the middle-aged man's sword leave his hand, he would do anything.
Chen Nan slowly pulled out his sword and threw the scabbard on the ground. "Senior, please enlighten me."
"Come on!"
The middle-aged man sighed and stood with his sword. He always let Chen Nan make the first move.
Chen Nan flew forward and slashed horizontally at the middle-aged man's neck.
The middle-aged man raised his sword to block, but Chen Nan suddenly changed his move. The tip of his sword flicked upward and stabbed at the middle-aged man's face. However, the middle-aged man was faster. He blocked Chen Nan's attack with his sword and then stabbed at Chen Nan's left chest.
Unexpectedly, Chen Nan did not dodge the middle-aged man's attack. Instead, he took a step forward.
The middle-aged man wanted to withdraw his sword and let Chen Nan admit defeat. However, Chen Nan bumped into him and blocked the tip of the sword with his own chest.
"Puff …"
Blood splattered. The sword penetrated Chen Nan's left chest.
However, it was as if he did not feel pain. He tightened his chest muscles and clamped down on the middle-aged man's sword. At the same time, his left hand reached up and grabbed the blade of the middle-aged man's sword. His right hand quickly swung the sword and chopped at the middle-aged man's arm.
The middle-aged man's expression changed. He wanted to retreat, but his sword was stuck in Chen Nan's body and was tightly grasped by his left hand. He could not pull it out for a while.
Seeing that Chen Nan's sword was about to cut his right arm, the middle-aged man had to let go of the hilt and retreat.
"Clang …"
Chen Nan stopped with his sword. His body swayed.
He looked at the sword in his left chest and slowly pulled it out. Then, he hit his acupoints to stop the bleeding. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Senior, your sword has left your hand. Please show me the way."
