However, just as Shi Xuan's cyan sword light met it, the white sword light suddenly accelerated. It cut through the air and slashed at Shi Xuan at an incredible speed. There was a faint sound of thunder behind it. Shi Xuan recognized that this was the Sword Qi Thunderclap technique!
Seeing this, the Heavenly Thunder Demon Sword also turned into lightning and slashed forward with the speed of the Sword Qi Thunderclap, barely blocking the white sword light. However, the sword light was unforgiving. Before it collided with Shi Xuan's flying sword, it pulled back and slashed at Shi Xuan from another angle.
Shi Xuan commanded the Heavenly Thunder Demon Sword to block everywhere, but the speed of the white sword light was even faster than Shi Xuan's cyan sword light. Its sword technique was also very exquisite, causing Shi Xuan to be battered and exhausted. If it weren't for Shi Xuan defending with all his strength and the flying sword being close to him, he probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with it. Even so, Shi Xuan also experienced the feeling of a Divine Soul Realm cultivator who was competing with him in flying swords. He was passive and sweating profusely.
Since his debut, Shi Xuan had only experienced this feeling when Yong Xiang gave him pointers on swordsmanship. This was the second time, but it was also because of that experience that Shi Xuan was able to hold on. At the same time, he was also using the Big Dipper Shows the Way mental cultivation technique to calculate the flaws of his opponent's sword technique.
The opponent's white sword light wandered everywhere and didn't collide with the Heavenly Thunder Demon Sword at all. Whether it was because the opponent didn't have enough strength or was being lenient, through this, Shi Xuan finally calculated a flaw.
A mighty golden bridge appeared in the room, precisely in the direction of the white sword light. Space and time seemed to freeze slightly, and it was also this freeze that allowed the Heavenly Thunder Demon Sword to catch up.
But the white sword light split into two, two into four, turning into four white sword lights that were no different from before. One blocked the Heavenly Thunder Demon Sword, and the other three set up a formation and appeared in front of Shi Xuan in the blink of an eye. Before Shi Xuan could react or even use the Green Jade Lightning Cloak Talisman, he saw the three white sword lights stop in front of him. His scalp seemed to feel the sharp sword qi on the sword light, and it was slightly numb.
At this point, the four white sword lights merged into one and disappeared in the air.
At the same time, a cold snort sounded in Shi Xuan's ears, "Your swordsmanship is only so-so. How can you be so arrogant?" The voice was somewhat angry. But as soon as it finished speaking, there was no more movement.
The cold night wind blew through the gap of the door, bringing a fresh air to the room. The square table, low stools, chairs, teacups, pen and paper in the room were no different from before. It was as if the fierce sword battle just now was just an illusion or a nightmare for Shi Xuan.
But Shi Xuan understood that this was the performance of the two's superb control of the flying sword. He could only smile bitterly and shake his head. Sword Light Differentiation, Sword Light Differentiation! He was just trying to get rid of those cultivators who came to challenge him, but he did not know which righteous Jindan Grandmaster had angered him and made him teach him a lesson, an arrogant cultivator of the later Jin Dynasty.
Fortunately, it was not a good reputation to bully the younger generation. This kind of righteous Jindan Grandmaster would come to teach him a lesson at night instead of directly challenging him during the day. In addition, he was Penglai's true disciple, so this Jindan Grandmaster did not have any intention to kill him. He did not even have the intention to hurt him. Shi Xuan guessed that Jindan Grandmaster wanted him to understand that there was always someone better than him in the world, so that he could restrain his arrogance.
Shi Shuan thought in his heart. In fact, what was funny just now was that he actually forced the Jiedan stage master to use the swordsmanship of Sword Light Division, making his idea of using Sword Qi Thunder to defeat him fail. So when he said the last sentence, he seemed to be a little angry out of shame.
Speaking of which, among Jindan Grandmaster, there were no more than five people who had mastered the Sword Light Differentiation swordsmanship, and two of them were Top Grade Jindan Grandmaster. It was really bad luck for him to encounter one. Could it be that there was an item in this auction that attracted Jindan Grandmaster? But it was not on that list. Of course, it was also possible that the list was for all cultivators, and there was another list that was special for Jindan Grandmaster.
Thinking of this, Shi Xuan sighed. He was still a little depressed. During the last attack, he was completely powerless against Jindan Grandmaster. He did not even have the time to use a method to escape. The gap between them was really too big. This Jindan Grandmaster was probably above Middle Grade. He might even be a Top Grade Jindan Grandmaster. For example, Qiao Mubai, the Bouncing Sword Maniac from the Luofu Sect, or Lunhui Wang from the Hades Sect.
…
The next day, Xiao Wen and his wife came again.
As soon as he saw Shi Xuan, Xiao Wen bowed solemnly and said with a sincere expression, "The day before yesterday, I was happy to see Fellow Daoist Shi. As a result, I pointed out Fellow Daoist Shi's identity in the Transportation Hall. That's why Fellow Daoist Shi was troubled yesterday. Please accept my apology." It turned out that the news of many people challenging Shi Xuan had only spread today. After Xiao Wen learned about it, he understood that it was his fault. Therefore, he rushed to the Foreign Affairs Hall of Penglai to express his apology to Shi Xuan.
"This kind of thing is unavoidable. I have been looking for an opportunity to deal with it. This time, I can settle it all at once and put an end to this matter. Fellow Daoist Xiao, you don't need to feel too guilty. "Shi Xuan waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Wen did not need to do so.
Xiao Wen wasn't a pedantic person. When he saw that Shi Xuan really didn't care too much about it, he smiled and said, "But Fellow Daoist Shi, you also made a great name for yourself yesterday. Originally, because you were low-key and rarely took action in bustling and bustling places of the Cultivation World, people were skeptical about your strength and achievements. In the end, after yesterday, everyone praised you for not having a false reputation. Many people held you in high esteem. And when I heard all kinds of descriptions of your swordsmanship and strength, I was also a bit surprised. They seemed to have removed you from the ranks of Divine Soul Stage cultivators and placed you on the same level as Jindan Grandmaster. "
"You praise me too much. The difference between I and Jindan Grandmaster is too great. " Shi Xuan could only force a smile. If it weren't for last night's matter, he might have been a bit complacent when he heard this. But now, he was really embarrassed to accept this kind of evaluation.
Feng Anbai interrupted, "To be able to injure a peak Divine Soul Stage cultivator with one sword strike, I'm afraid only Jindan Grandmaster can do that. Fellow Daoist Shi, you deserve this kind of evaluation."
"But their evaluation of I shouldn't be just these good aspects, right?" Shi Xuan had to change the topic.
Feng Anbai smiled and didn't say anything. He slowly circled around Shi Xuan, sizing him up as he circled. Then, he smiled and said, "The Fellow Daoist Shi they speak of doesn't seem to be the one I know. Ruthless, ruthless, cold-blooded, cold-hearted, arrogant, arrogant, and not returning without seeing blood. Haha, it's really too funny."
Xiao Wen also smiled and said, "Those cultivators love to spread rumors and make you sound like a great devil, Fellow Daoist Shi."
"So the strength they speak of is also not accurate." Shi Xuan lightly said. Then, Feng Anbai once again asked for advice on swordsmanship. At noon, they made an appointment to go to the auction the next day. Only then did the two leave.
…
On the evening of the next day, Shi Xuan, Xiao Wen, and Feng Anbai met outside the door, then they left Tianji City. Because they were afraid that the auction host would set up arrays in the pavilions they were familiar with, the auction venue was located at the edge of the desert outside the city. The terrain there was open, so it was easy to see if there were any arrays or not. Moreover, it was not far from Tianji City, only about ten miles away. For cultivators, they could return in an instant, so it would not be robbed unless there was an accident.
And the head of the External Affairs Hall, An Wang, did not go with Shi Xuan. He went there early. Otherwise, if the two of them arrived at the venue together and heard others talking about the Single-Horned Kui Ox's inner core, it would not look good. As for Xia Jiling, Shi Xuan had not seen her at all. He guessed that she had her own cave abode in Tianji City, so he went there directly.
Because the auction was held after dark, Shi Xuan, Xiao Wen, and Feng Anbai strolled leisurely towards the city gate. Just as the three of them reached the city gate, they heard someone shouting, "Hey, little fellow Shi, you're in Tianji City too?"
Before Shi Xuan's divine sense could sense him, that person appeared in front of Shi Xuan. He had an ordinary face, two small mustaches, and looked a little wretched. It was the host of Return Dragon Temple, Daoquan Zi. However, he did not wear his black robe today, but a grey Daoist robe, which made him look very rustic.
"Junior greets Senior Daoquan Zi." Shi Xuan hurriedly bowed respectfully. Not to mention that Daoquan Zi's cultivation was unfathomable, just the kindness of sending Shi Xuan to the Cultivation World back then was engraved in Shi Xuan's heart.
Daoquan Zi waved his hand and said, "Senior what? I'm about to die." He looked distressed.
Just as Shi Xuan was about to ask what was going on, he remembered that he had not introduced his two companions, so he said, "Senior Daoquan Zi, this is the direct disciple of Medicine King Sect, Xiao Wen, and this is his wife, Feng Anbai." Then, he said to Xiao Wen and Feng Anbai, "This is Senior Daoquan Zi from Ying Zhou Sect."
"Junior greets Senior Daoquan Zi." Xiao Wen and Feng Anbai greeted him politely. At the same time, Feng Anbai looked at Daoquan Zi curiously. He had never heard of any Jindan Grandmaster from Ying Zhou Sect called Daoquan Zi.
Daoquan Zi nodded and said, "So it's the little kid from Medicine King Sect. Hmm, this one looks pretty good." This one was not referring to Feng Anbai, but Xiao Wen. However, Daoquan Zi still looked dispirited. It seemed like he was really troubled.
"May I know what's troubling you, senior? Can junior help you?" Shi Xuan thought that if it was within his ability, it was only right for him to repay Daoquan Zi's kindness.
Daoquan Zi sneered and said, "Little fellow Shi, even your Zhenren Jiang can't help you. You should go home, wash up, and sleep. Sigh, the only one who can help is yourself. "
His tone shocked Shi Xuan, Xiao Wen, and Feng Anbai. Needless to say, Shi Xuan, Xiao Wen, and Feng Anbai also knew what a Zhenren represented. Sect Leader Penglai's surname was Zhang, so this Zhenren Jiang was naturally a genuine Primordial Spirit or Yang Spirit Zhenren. This Senior Daoquan Zi looked ordinary, but his tone was pretty big.
Shi Xuan was about to continue asking when he heard Daoquan Zi say, "Little fellow Shi, you haven't answered me yet. Why did you come to Tianji City?"
"I'm here to participate in an auction. It's just outside the city. There are many good things there," Shi Xuan answered honestly.
