"Sure, I'll have to trouble you to teach me then."
Du Feng knew he couldn't leave Hearthstone City, but he could leave the inn.
"Brother Du, you're too polite. Let's spar."
The Sword Emperor didn't dare to be careless. After all, he wasn't much higher than Du Feng's Cultivation Level. Strictly speaking, his Cultivation Level was two levels lower than Du Feng's.
To be honest, Du Feng was looking forward to this fight because he had never fought with the Sword Emperor. Back in the Lower World, the Four Emperors were very famous. He had fought with the Poison Emperor, fought with the Demon Emperor several times, and sparred with Emperor Nan, but he had never fought with the Sword Emperor.
The Sword Emperor's disciple, Kenji, had already impressed Du Feng. He didn't know how strong the Sword Emperor was.
Du Feng let the Sword Emperor go out first. He changed his appearance and fooled the people watching him in the hall. He changed his appearance and slipped out. He was already in the furnace. The two people in charge of watching him were foolishly wandering in the hall.
"Let's keep a low profile."
Du Feng suggested that both use supreme-grade Connate Dharma artifacts. After all, immortal artifacts were too eye-catching. Moreover, the two were just sparring, not fighting to the death. There was no need to fight so hard.
"Okay, then lend me a sword."
The Sword Emperor only had that immortal artifact sword. He didn't have any supreme-grade Connate Dharma artifacts. But Du Feng had a lot of them, so he gave him one. In order to be less eye-catching, the Sword Emperor shrank his height to two meters. This sword could also be used.
"Look, there are two people over there. Let's bet."
Nine out of ten people watching the fight in the furnace were gamblers. The other half was gambling with themselves. They wanted to win money, but they were afraid of losing money. That was why they were half against each other.
"The two of them are so familiar with each other, so they definitely won't fight for real. It's meaningless."
Another gambler looked at Du Feng and Sword Emperor. The two of them were too harmonious, and even their weapons were the same. It was impossible for them to fight, so there was no point in betting.
"That's not necessarily true. Some friends may seem to be very close, but they might stab you in the back."
The gambler who initiated the bet was getting impatient. From his aura, he could tell that the Sword Emperor was an expert with the sword. His every move, even his gaze, carried a sharp sword aura. This kind of person didn't need to use his hands, but once he did, he would definitely hurt someone.
"I bet that big guy will win. Anyone want to bet with me?"
He first placed his bet on the Sword Emperor. The others looked at each other hesitantly.
"I also bet on the big guy."
One of the spectators couldn't help but bet on the Sword Emperor.
"Then I'll bet on the big guy too."
This was because the Sword Emperor's strength was too obvious. He was like an indomitable sword. Not to mention his Cultivation level, just his aura alone was extraordinary. Some sword cultivators were like this. Even if their Cultivation level was low, they could still rely on their powerful sword techniques to defeat their opponents. The Sword Emperor belonged to that kind of person.
To be fair, both of them suppressed their Cultivation level to Golden Celestial Stage Level 1. Moreover, Du Feng had disguised himself, so no one knew it was him. Everyone looked at his figure and then at the Sword Emperor's figure and sharp sword aura, so they all placed their bets on the Sword Emperor.
This way, the bet was a bit awkward. Everyone bet on the Sword Emperor, but no one bet on Du Feng. That meant that no one would lose. If no one lost, who would pay? Just at this moment, the old gambler who had initiated the bet spoke.
"You all bet on the big guy, right? Okay, I'll bet on the pretty boy."
The pretty boy was naturally Du Feng, but he was Du Feng in disguise. He still looked like a fair and clean scholar, but he looked different from before.
"Okay, since you want to lose money, I'll bet on it too."
Someone bet on Du Feng, which meant that someone was standing on the opposite side. The rest of the people all bet on the Sword Emperor. Since it was a sure-win situation, betting more or less would earn them some money. The old gambler was really rich. When someone bet on him, he increased the bet and kept the amount of money on both sides equal.
In just a short while, there were hundreds of people betting on the Sword Emperor. As for the old gambler, he had already taken out tens of thousands of Stage Two Celestial Stones. He was really rich. It was like he was betting against hundreds of people.
"Let's start, I want to bet on you."
The Sword Emperor looked at the people who bet on him. Because there were too many people betting on him, only one person bet on Du Feng. If he also bet on Du Feng and lost to Du Feng, he would be able to earn a lot of money.
"Alright, you can make the first move."
Du Feng knew how to respect the old and let the Sword Emperor attack first. After all, the Sword Emperor was an elder and he was indeed quite old.
"Watch my sword!"
The Sword Emperor didn't hold back at all, stabbing out with her sword as soon as she finished speaking. The speed of this strike was too fast. It was completely different from an ordinary swordsman's strike. Because his sword was too quick, it caused the air in front of him to compress and form an air wall. The tip of the sword pierced through the air wall and caused a small explosion.
Normal people would make a whistling sound when they pierced through the air, but the Sword Emperor actually made an explosion sound. Not only that, but because of the rapid change in the air, it caused the image to distort. From the perspective of the spectators, it looked like space was twisting.
The two of them said that it was a friendly spar, so why was the sword so vicious?
"Hehe …"
The old gambler grinned. As expected, it was as he had expected. Those friends who usually called each other brothers were all more vicious than the other.
The other gamblers were even happier as they bet on the Sword Emperor to win. Just the first sword was already so strong. The pretty boy probably wouldn't even be able to take a single move.
How could Du Feng not be able to take it? How was that possible? He didn't face it head-on. Instead, he moved and slid away like a loach. One had to admit that the Sword Emperor's sword was indeed fast. He had trained in sword techniques for thousands of years and had practiced this sword hundreds of millions of times.
Although Du Feng's sword was also fast, he admitted that he wasn't as fast as the Sword Emperor. This was why he used his movement technique to slide away and then slashed from the side, aiming for the Sword Emperor's wrist.
This was a very smart fighting method. The opponent wanted to stab your body while you slashed at the opponent's hand. In this way, it was equivalent to shortening the distance of the attack and achieving the effect of reaching the target first even if it was launched later.
