Earlier, Xiao Chen had embarrassed him. In his heart, he hoped that Bai Shuiheng would teach Xiao Chen a lesson.
However, firstly, Bai Shuiheng was Su Xiaoxiao's friend. Secondly, Yue Chenxi happened to be beside him. At this moment, he might as well appear more open and aboveboard. Otherwise, he might attract the other party's attention.
However, who knew, Xiao Chen completely ignored his suggestion. When he saw the indistinct purple electricity around the other party, he immediately became interested.
The other party was actually a swordsman who comprehended the state of thunder. Xiao Chen stood up and looked at Bai Shuiheng. He said softly, "I accept your challenge!"
Of all the states, the state of thunder was the most difficult to comprehend. It was also the state with the strongest attack power compared to the other states.
Compared to the other states, it did not have many tricks to it. It only had a pure berserk offensive power. It was also the purest attack of the natural Heavenly Dao.
Since Xiao Chen comprehended the state of thunder, he had never fought with another cultivator who comprehended the state of thunder. Hence, the moment this Bai Shuiheng made a move, he became interested.
Bai Shuiheng said indifferently, "You speak so extravagantly. I want to see how strong you are. Don't worry. Don't say that I am using my cultivation to bully you. I will only use fifty percent of my strength to fight you."
Xiao Chen held the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand and slowly walked to the empty space. He said indifferently, "There is no need to go through so much trouble. Make your move!"
"Very good. Let's see what qualifications you have to be arrogant!"
"Boom!"
Electric light flickered as Bai Shuiheng drew his sword at lightning speed. A crack of thunder resounded in the vast floor, numbing everyone's eardrums.
The instant Bai Shuiheng drew his sword, it was like a surging bolt of lightning, giving off an incomparably dazzling purple light.
With the force of his kick, he covered the distance of more than a hundred meters in an instant. The dazzling electric sword flew towards Xiao Chen's face.
This sword contained the speed and berserk of lightning. Before the sword arrived, it kicked up a strong wind.
The hair of the people behind Xiao Chen fluttered in the wind. They could not help but squint.
What a powerful sword strike! After not seeing Bai Shuiheng for a few years, his strength had actually increased again. This person was much stronger than Zhou Lingheng.
When everyone saw this sword move that was as fast as a gust of wind and had an earth-shattering momentum, they all exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. When the sword was about five meters away from him, he drew the Lunar Shadow Saber in his right hand at lightning speed.
Dang!
There was a melodious sound of weapons clashing. Most of the people did not even see how Xiao Chen drew his saber. By the time they heard the sound, Bai Shuiheng had already moved back five steps. His expression was extremely grave.
"What's going on? How did this guy attack? I didn't even see it clearly."
"Strange, I didn't see it either. When I heard the sound, Bai Shuiheng had already taken five steps back."
Among the hundred people seated on the fourth floor, only less than ten people saw how the saber was unsheathed.
Xiao Chen's attack arrived first despite being launched later. Its speed increased to Mach 2 in an instant. He used the stronger state of thunder to strike the weak point of his opponent's Sword Technique. He easily repelled Bai Shuiheng's attack in an instant.
Jin Wuji had an astonished expression on his face. He muttered, "What a strong state of thunder! He is clearly only at Small Perfection, but his foundation is several times stronger than Bai Shuiheng's. This person definitely cultivates a high-ranked lightning-attributed Cultivation Technique."
Yue Chenxi asked softly, "Who is this person? Does Young Master Jin know?"
Jin Wuji was slightly stunned. He did not expect Yue Chenxi to be interested in this person. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he said softly, "I don't know him. Miss Xiaoxiao brought him here."
Yue Chenxi said, "Oh, then continue watching!"
Xiao Chen looked at Bai Shuiheng and said indifferently, "Use your full power. Your state is not as good as mine. You can only use your advantage in Essence to fight me. Otherwise, you will lose to my saber in ten moves."
When the others heard Xiao Chen say such startling words in such a calm tone, they felt a strange shock in their hearts.
When Xiao Chen said these words, it did not seem inappropriate at all. His tone was very natural, as though he was talking about something insignificant.
Just based on this calmness, some people were already certain that Xiao Chen was not an ordinary Superior Grade Martial Saint.
"Arrogant! Don't speak as though I will lose for sure. Thundercloud Sword Chop!" Bai Shuiheng smiled coldly and charged over again.
Thunderclouds formed around Bai Shuiheng. Boundless electricity flickered in the middle of the clouds. There was a series of crackling sounds as electricity circled around Bai Shuiheng's body.
As the thunderclouds churned, the aura of Bai Shuiheng's body rose continuously. He was like a treasured sword that was constantly being sharpened, waiting to be unsheathed.
When the crowd felt the might of this sword, their confidence in Bai Shuiheng increased. No matter how high a state a Superior Grade Martial Saint's state was, he would not be able to dodge this sword.
"Chop!"
A sword light flashed, and Bai Shuiheng's body flashed through the thunderclouds. He was like a bolt of lightning leaping through the clouds.
"Dang!"
There was another melodious sound of weapons clashing. Most of the people still did not see how Xiao Chen made his move. After they heard the sound, they only saw Bai Shuiheng flying backward.
This was a very strange feeling. It was clearly right in front of them, but why did they always hear the sound first before seeing the scene?
Jin Wuji muttered, "Most people would be able to reach Mach 2 after slowly increasing their speed. However, to reach Mach 2 in an instant is too difficult. I wonder how he did it."
Yue Chenxi looked at Xiao Chen with an increasingly interested gaze. He said softly, "This is just a simple Drawing the Saber. However, I have not seen many people practice it to such a level." "Dang! Dang!
Dang! "
Bai Shuiheng sent out another three moves. However, Xiao Chen broke them with one saber strike each time. Every time Xiao Chen executed Drawing the Saber at an extremely fast speed, he would be able to find the weak point of the Sword Technique and break it with one saber strike.
"A strong state of thunder and an extremely fast Saber Technique. He is the White Robed Bladesman, Xiao Chen!"
"It is definitely him. The White Robed Bladesman holds a long saber and a blue strip of cloth tied around his head. Furthermore, there are two strips in front of him. There is no mistake."
A few people finally guessed Xiao Chen's identity. However, most of them had never heard of the White Robed Bladesman before, so they all asked about it.
The nations of these people were rather far from the Great Qin Nation. The news of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion had not spread there yet.
However, after hearing these people talk about Xiao Chen's deeds, the earlier contempt that many cultivators had for Xiao Chen vanished, replaced by grave expressions.
If Xiao Chen had defeated Duanmuqing and the others, it would not have been a big deal. After all, these people were not at the peak. However, the news of Xiao Chen easily defeating the Holy Land's outer disciples shocked them.
Jin Wuji had a pensive look in his eyes. He thought to himself, So, he is the White Robed Bladesman, Xiao Chen. I finally got to see him in person today.
"I have received five strikes from you. It is time for you to receive one saber strike from me."
Bai Shuiheng took a step back and gathered his aura. He said indifferently, "Isn't it just one saber strike? With my defense, I can receive ten saber strikes from you."
After Bai Shuiheng made his first move, Xiao Chen's interest in this place immediately decreased significantly. He felt somewhat disappointed.
Although this person had comprehended the state of thunder, he had taken the wrong path. He only pursued the strength of his state and did not settle down to perfectly merge his state with his Sword Technique.
Bai Shuiheng only focused on merging his Saber Techniques. When he attacked, his might was vast and mighty. His aura flourished and he could easily suppress a state of the same rank. He could even instantly kill a state of a lower level.
However, if he ran into a cultivator with a state stronger than his, and he did not merge his state with his Saber Technique, his moves would be full of openings.
This was also why Xiao Chen could easily break Bai Shuiheng's Sword Technique by using Drawing the Saber at Mach 2. If it were another opponent, it would be very difficult to do so.
Such an exchange would not be of much help to Xiao Chen. He could only end the fight quickly.
"Zi zi!"
Using the power of thunder and lightning, Baishui Hengli set up three thick and solid thunder and lightning barriers around him, from the outside to the inside, one layer after another.
This was especially so for the last layer. It stuck tightly to Bai Shuiheng's skin. The purple electric light was as thick as a Battle Armor.
"This Bai Shuiheng says that he is not afraid, but he even used his trump card. He actually laid down three layers of defense," the people at the peak of the crowd laughed gently.
Xiao Chen tightened his grip on the Lunar Shadow Saber and looked at Bai Shuiheng, who was covered in defenses.
After he finished setting up his defenses, the scarlet Massacre Throne in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness flowed along his meridians and infused into the saber.
The saber flickering with purple electric light immediately turned red and purple. Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, stabbing out with his saber.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
The three barriers made of electricity only lasted for a moment before being easily broken by Xiao Chen's Saber Technique infused with the states of massacre and thunder.
The surging force of the saber immediately knocked Bai Shuiheng back, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.
"Unexpectedly, he defeated Bai Shuiheng with one saber strike. The White Robed Bladesman truly lives up to his reputation. Among the hundred of us, he can rank within the top ten."
"It is hard to imagine that he actually comes from a sect in the Great Qin Nation. Bai Shuiheng's defenses are useless before him."
"The sharpness of this saber strike is really shocking. Bai Shuiheng is too arrogant."
After defeating Bai Shuiheng with one saber strike, the people who mocked Xiao Chen earlier immediately shut up, no longer daring to underestimate him.
The crowd all commented on the fight between the two, giving an objective evaluation of Xiao Chen's strength.
Indeed, it was as Xiao Chen expected. If he wanted to gain the respect of others, he could only use the saber in his hand. That was the most direct way and also the most persuasive.
Xiao Chen performed a cupped-fist salute to Bai Shuiheng, who stood up. "Thank you for letting me win!"
Xiao Chen had held back with his saber strike; the state had not penetrated Bai Shuiheng's body. Hence, Bai Shuiheng had only suffered some external injuries.
Bai Shuiheng felt somewhat ashamed. Originally, he had wanted to stand up for his good friend. He had not expected Xiao Chen to deal with him in one move. He did not say anything and returned to his seat.
"Unexpectedly, he grasped the state of massacre. No wonder he could challenge someone of higher cultivation so easily."
Seeing Xiao Chen return to his seat, Yue Chenxi felt enlightened. However, Xiao Chen's cultivation was still too low. His state of massacre was not as complete as his state of thunder.
Xiao Chen was weaker than expected. However, his future potential was immeasurable.
