This was a form of calmness, a calmness that did not change even in the face of an army of 10,000.
Most of the time, whether a person was arrogant or not could be seen from their facial expressions. For example, a disdainful look in their eyes, or a raised corner of their lips.
However, none of this could be seen on Nangong Hao's face.
Ever since he walked out of the Icy Monkey Settlement, Nangong Hao's expression had been extremely calm. However, when Nangong Hao stood in front of an army of 10,000...
All of the candidates felt a sense of superiority. It was as though he was an invincible God of War on the battlefield.
Of course, Nangong Hao had rarely lost in his life. His only loss was to Chi Guyan. However, could that be considered a loss?
No!
Chi Guyan was the Double Dragon Roll Champion. She was the heir to the Heavenly Prophecy.
As such...
Even if Nangong Hao lost, it could not be considered a loss.
"After four years of silence, how strong is Nangong Hao now?"
"Is he still the same as he was four years ago?"
"Or perhaps, Nangong Hao is no longer the same as before? However, four years ago, Nangong Hao was able to dominate all of his peers. No matter how strong he is... how strong can he be? "
One question after another appeared in the minds of the candidates. At the same time, the hearts of the 50,000 soldiers were filled with the same questions.
How strong is Nangong Hao four years later?
Chen Feiyu was also very concerned about this question. However, he did not need to guess. He could test it out.
Of course, it was impossible for Fang Zhengzhi to not have a little bit of curiosity. However, he didn't need to test it himself. Because, Chen Feiyu had volunteered to take turns.
Taking turns fighting him!
This was the classic tactic of using numbers to bully the weak. Fang Zhengzhi rarely had the chance to do so. However, he had to admit that he enjoyed doing this.
"Nangong Hao, take this!" Chen Feiyu had no intention of waiting any longer. He had waited for this moment for far too long. He was not willing to wait any longer.
When the sword was drawn, the rain fell!
Chen Feiyu did not waste any time. He immediately used the secret technique of the Sun Constabulary, the Torrential Pear Blossom Sword. The essence of this technique was speed!
The swiftness of the wind, the swiftness of the speed!
Therefore, when he raised the sword in his hand, his body seemed to have merged with the rain. With a single step, he was already in front of Nangong Hao.
Swift is fast!
From the movement of the sword in Chen Feiyu's hand to the release of the sword, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
However, its power did not diminish in the slightest. As Chen Feiyu stabbed out with his sword, a torrential downpour suddenly appeared in the air. A snow-white flower also bloomed in the torrential downpour. Pieces of white petals danced in the air, their trajectories extremely erratic.
"Great sword technique!"
"So powerful?! I didn't expect Chen Feiyu's Torrential Pear Blossom Sword to have already reached this level? "
All of the candidates cheered when they saw this. Previously, they had been busy saving themselves. Now, they were busy beating people up.
Now, they finally calmed down and looked at the sword.
This also caused them to quickly realize that Chen Feiyu's sword was a little too powerful. This was because when they saw this sword, they actually felt powerless to block it.
Of course, Chen Feiyu heard the voices around him. This made him feel a little proud. However, this was not enough. He needed more praise.
For example, Chen Feiyu could actually exchange more than 100 blows with Nangong Hao?!
For example, Chen Feiyu could actually fight Nangong Hao to a draw?!
For example, Chen Feiyu could actually reach the Heavenly Reflection State!
"Come on, say all of these things. Say them out loud, I can listen to them!" Chen Feiyu shouted in his heart as he slashed down with his sword.
The snow-white petals condensed at the tip of the sword in an instant, bringing with it an extremely resplendent sword light. It descended towards Nangong Hao's head at the speed of a meteor, waiting for the final moment to bloom.
"Woosh!" The tip of the sword descended, but it did not bloom as expected.
The rain was intense, but the sword was very calm. It was so calm that even the rain seemed to have stopped. It was so calm that the entire world seemed to have stopped.
However, this calmness did not last for too long.
Because, very soon, everyone discovered an extremely strange scene.
The reason why it was strange was because it was too fast. It was so fast that it gave people the illusion that the two of them had exchanged positions in an instant.
Chen Feiyu's sword was not blocked.
However, when his sword landed, Nangong Hao was already behind him. This was a very strange feeling. It was almost as if Nangong Hao had appeared behind Chen Feiyu.
"So fast!"
"He's even faster than Chen Feiyu!"
All of the scholars looked at Nangong Hao, who was quietly standing on Chen Feiyu's seat, and finally couldn't help but let out a few heartfelt shouts.
Fang Zhengzhi had promised Nangong Mu that he would defeat Nangong Hao during the preliminary court examinations. This was a promise between men.
In fact, he believed that he could defeat Nangong Hao. However, this did not mean that he felt that Nangong Hao was weak.
Fang Zhengzhi was confident, but not arrogant.
As such, he had always known that Nangong Hao was very powerful. However, he finally understood why even someone as competitive as Nangong Mu chose to give up in the face of Nangong Hao.
Nangong Hao and Chi Guyan were...
Similar in some way.
Fang Zhengzhi remembered the first time he witnessed Chi Guyan's speed. It was when he was climbing Cang Ling Mountain. He was confident that he would be able to leave Chi Guyan in the dust, as he was familiar with the terrain.
However...
However, Chi Guyan was able to catch up to him easily.
It was also at that time that Fang Zhengzhi saw a strange and inexplicable way of moving. That was, he could move even when he was standing still!
At that time, Fang Zhengzhi thought that Chi Guyan must have stepped on something. After all, this kind of movement did not make sense.
However, when Nangong Hao used the same method to dodge Chen Feiyu's attack, he realized that Chi Guyan was not stepping on anything. Nangong Hao was not stepping on anything either.
Why was this happening?
Fang Zhengzhi did not understand. However, he knew that Nangong Hao's speed was on the same level as Chi Guyan's.
In other words...
He was slower than Nangong Hao!
Speed was the only thing that could not be defeated. He was already one step behind in terms of speed. How was he going to face someone who was faster than him?
Fang Zhengzhi did not continue thinking. Nangong Hao had already drawn his sword.
All of the candidates and soldiers shut their mouths. Their eyes widened as they stared at Nangong Hao.
When Fang Zhengzhi saw Nangong Hao draw his sword, he was a little taken aback. This came from a feeling in his heart.
For some reason, when Nangong Hao dodged Chen Feiyu's attack, Fang Zhengzhi felt that Nangong Hao and Chen Feiyu were not on the same level.
Even though Chen Feiyu was already at the Supernatural State!
In his previous life, Fang Zhengzhi had seen many masters bully the weak. They would not draw their swords. At the very least, they would not draw their swords when it was not necessary.
However, Nangong Hao had drawn his sword!
It was a sparkling and translucent sword.
It had a snow-white hilt and a crystal clear blade. It was similar to a scabbard, but it was even more transparent. It was so transparent that it was almost impossible to see.
"This is Nangong Hao's sword?" Fang Zhengzhi had seen many swords in this world. For example, Nangong Mu's Green and Blue Dual Blade and Xing Qingsui's black blade.
Also...
The Traceless Sword in his hand.
However, he had never seen a sword like Nangong Hao's. It was almost invisible. Could this be the legendary Traceless Sword?
Or rather, it was a sword that looked like ice!
The moment Nangong Hao drew his sword, it stabbed towards Chen Feiyu.
This sword...
There was nothing special about it!
At the very least, in the eyes of all of the candidates and commanders, this sword seemed a little too ordinary. Of course, if this sword was wielded by someone else, it would not be ordinary.
Because, this sword was extremely fast!
It was extremely fast!
However, was Nangong Hao's sword just fast?
This was the question in all of the candidates' minds. To them, Nangong Hao's sword represented the pinnacle of power in the younger generation.
As such, it should at least cause some ripples?
For example, he could use a snow-white flower like Chen Feiyu. At the very least, he could use the sound of wind, thunder, or rain. That would be better than no sound at all!
However, in reality, Nangong Hao's sword did not make any sound at all.
It was completely silent.
His footsteps were steady, almost as if he did not move at all. It was a strange illusion. However, he was behind Chen Feiyu in the blink of an eye.
Chen Feiyu was very experienced in battle.
The moment he saw Nangong Hao disappear in front of him, he did not panic immediately, because he was already mentally prepared for it.
Was it weird for Nangong Hao to dodge his sword?
Of course not. Since it was not weird, what was there to panic about?
As such, he was very used to Nangong Hao disappearing in front of him.
Normally, when an enemy suddenly disappeared, it was very likely that the enemy was behind him. Logically speaking, Chen Feiyu's next attack should be aimed behind him.
However, he did not hear anything behind him.
As such...
Based on his experience, if the enemy was not behind him, there were only two possibilities. One was in the sky, and the other was underground.
Of course, these were all guesses. Since they were guesses, he could not rely on luck.
As such, Chen Feiyu executed a perfect movement.
All-round defense!
A blue screen of water rose up around him. It was like a giant bubble, completely enveloping Chen Feiyu's body from head to toe.
Torrential Pear Blossom Sword Technique!
This was a technique that first defended, then attacked.
The bubble formed by the water screen could defend against an all-around attack. When the opponent pierced through the bubble, it would turn into thousands of raindrops and counterattack.
It was a perfect sword technique and a perfect timing.
Chen Feiyu felt that his ability to adapt to changes was at its peak. He did not hope to defeat Nangong Hao in one move. He wanted to slowly wear Nangong Hao down!
Calmness and calmness were the basic requirements for wearing down Nangong Hao. Chen Feiyu believed that he could do it.
However, this belief did not last for long.
In fact, when he used this move, Rainstorm, he felt an indescribable strange feeling, as if the move, Rainstorm, had been broken.
Or rather, the bubble around him had been pierced.
This was something that should not have happened.
Because, if the bubble had been pierced, then he should have felt it. Rainstorm should have felt it too. Why didn't Rainstorm appear?
If there was no Rainstorm, what would this technique be called?
Bubble?!
Chen Feiyu was a little confused. This confusion caused him to turn his head subconsciously. At the same time, his gaze also looked in the direction behind him.
As such, he saw a sword.
A sword that was already at his throat.
This caused Chen Feiyu, who thought that he was calm and steady, to lose his cool.
What was going on?
Why was there a sword at his throat? Where did it come from?
Chen Feiyu looked at the hilt of the sword, then at the hand that was holding onto the hilt. He saw a white scholar's attire and a calm expression on his face.
"Nangong … Hao?!" Chen Feiyu was prepared to fail. However, he did not expect that he would fail so quickly.
Furthermore, he had failed in such a baffling manner.
What was going on?
Why did his Rainstorm not activate? Could it be that he really had to change its name to Bubble?
Chen Feiyu did not understand. This confusion made him extremely frustrated. Because, he still did not know how he had lost.
"Everything can be controlled by you, but it can also be controlled by me. You … have lost." Nangong Hao looked at Chen Feiyu and opened his mouth. Then, he sheathed the sword in his hand.
"I lost?!" Chen Feiyu looked at Nangong Hao, who was right in front of him, and the sheathed sword. For the first time, his eyes were filled with confusion.
Everything can be controlled by you, but it can also be controlled by me?
Chen Feiyu's mind was in a mess. However, amidst his confusion, he kept thinking about Nangong Hao's words.
All of the candidates were also in a mess. Other than Nangong Hao's words, they were also thinking about how Nangong Hao had broken through Chen Feiyu's Rainstorm.
Because that sword strike was no longer an ordinary sword strike.
It was …
An unparalleled sword!
