Bai Shuihe, who was in front of Xiao Chen, seemed to come to life. He laughed loudly and pointed at Xiao Chen's forehead at lightning speed. "Boom!
Boom! "
The surroundings shook and Xiao Chen's vision turned blurry for a moment. After a while, he found himself in a chaotic space.
With his previous experience, Xiao Chen was not too surprised. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "This junior Xiao Chen greets Senior again!"
Bai Shuihe raised his eyebrows and a formless light flashed in his eyes. It was like he could see through everything about Xiao Chen; there were no secrets at all.
"No wonder you chose me. It turns out that you already shattered my will statue on the second floor. Why do you want to shatter my will statue on this floor as well?"
Bai Shuihe said calmly as he looked at Xiao Chen with a smile that did not seem like a smile.
Xiao Chen said somewhat embarrassedly, "How could that be? I just wanted to ask Senior for guidance. I hope that I can pass the test of this floor."
Bai Shuihe said somewhat angrily, "Young man, don't be so humble. You can be more confident. Since you can shatter my Sage statue, you might be able to shatter my Emperor statue.
"You don't even have this much confidence and you still want to go to the eighth floor? The eighth floor is filled with the will statues of King Grade Martial Emperors. I'll ask you one more time whether you are confident or not!"
Bai Shuihe's tone suddenly turned heavier. He shouted his last sentence, causing Xiao Chen to feel an inexplicable pressure in his heart.
Xiao Chen nearly blurted out the words. However, when the words reached his mouth, he suddenly realized it and was startled.
The other party was the bona fide Saber Emperor Wu. Xiao Chen was just an insignificant Martial King. If he said he was confident he could shatter the other party's statue, he would be overestimating himself.
Xiao Chen stopped speaking and said softly, "Senior, you must be joking. A few moves would suffice. Why would this junior think of shattering your statue?"
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not fall for his trap, the interest in Bai Shuihe's eyes intensified. He smiled and said, "That's right. If you had really said that there were words, the number of moves you could exchange with me would have increased from ten to twenty."
Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't say the word 'yes'. Comparing 20 moves to 10 moves, it was twice as long.
"However, on account of the fact that you've shattered my Saint statue, I've decided to give you 20 pointers!" Bai Shuihe changed the topic and smiled slyly.
Xiao Chen felt depressed in his heart. It turned out that Xiao Chen was toying with him. His image of a Martial Emperor in his heart immediately fell to rock bottom.
Who would have thought that Emperor Wu would have this kind of bad taste, toying with a junior?
Bai Shuihe frowned and said, "What's wrong? You look very happy. Add another ten moves!"
Xiao Chen's expression immediately became conflicted. He hurriedly said, "How am I happy? It's nothing."
Bai Shuihe nodded and said, "I, the great Emperor Wu, am here to give you pointers, yet you are still angry. Brat, you don't know what's good for you. Add another ten moves!"
Xiao Chen was utterly speechless. He did not say anything more. This Bai Shuihe's character before and after he became a Martial Emperor was too different.
When Bai Shuihe saw Xiao Chen's conflicted expression, he laughed loudly again. His face was filled with joy as he said, "Brat, I was just fooling you. The test of this stage is not about exchanging a few moves."
"Then what is the test of this stage?" Xiao Chen asked doubtfully.
"There is a huge gap between Emperor Wu and a Martial Sage. As a bladesman, you choose me. Ten moves, twenty moves, or one move, there is no difference."
Bai Shuihe withdrew his smile and said seriously, "You only need to receive one saber strike from me. If you do not die, you will pass. Do you dare?"
Do I dare to receive Emperor Wu's saber strike?
Emperor Wu's saber strike … Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. He quickly thought about it.
Although it was said to be Emperor Wu's saber strike, the other party would definitely not use a cultivation that surpassed Xiao Chen's own. Otherwise, he would not even need to use one saber strike.
With just a glance, the other party could use the natural laws to kill Xiao Chen. Then, there would be no need to talk about the test.
However, this saber strike would definitely not be easy to receive. This was especially so when the other party said very clearly that he would pass if he did not die.
What did he mean? Did he mean that Xiao Chen would not be able to break this saber strike? At most, it would just be a matter of injury.
Naturally, Xiao Chen did not doubt the words of the peak Emperor Wu.
However, he still asked uncertainly, "What if I die?"
When Bai Shuihe heard that, he could not help but laugh loudly. "What else can I do if I die? Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Naturally, everything will be over.
"So, think carefully before you make your decision. Don't ever think that giving up is a very embarrassing thing. The strength of my saber strike will not surpass your cultivation. However, the difference between us is not as simple as cultivation. "
One saber strike, just one saber strike. As long as he passed this saber strike, he would be able to reach the eighth floor.
However, this saber strike would really kill him. Once he agreed, there would be no more chances to give up. He would have to face death.
Xiao Chen could not help but hesitate. At the juncture of life and death, no matter who faced such a situation, they would hesitate. This was especially so when the other party was a bona fide Emperor Wu.
If someone really agreed without thinking about anything, that person might really not be far from death.
Back then, the Thunder King was only twenty-one years old. His cultivation was slightly higher than mine. What did he think when faced with such a situation?
Xiao Chen could not help but look at the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand. If Ao Jiao were here, given her experience, she would be able to give him an answer very quickly.
At this moment, Xiao Chen could not help but reminisce about Ao Jiao. Back then, she accompanied the Thunder King all the way to the eighth floor, which no one had reached in ten thousand years.
Her understanding of this Ancient Desolate Tower was much clearer than Xiao Chen's.
Should I accept this saber strike or not? Xiao Chen hesitated for the first time in his heart.
Idiot, why do you not dare to accept it? It is fine as long as you do not die. Why are you so afraid?
Suddenly, a melodious voice rang out in Xiao Chen's mind. He immediately rejoiced and said, "Ao Jiao, when did you wake up?"
Within the Lunar Shadow Saber, Ao Jiao habitually mocked, "Stop speaking nonsense. I took some time out of my busy schedule to give a piece of trash like you some pointers. Stop saying meaningless words. Just agree to him directly. He is just a Minor Heavenly Emperor Wu and he dares to put on airs to scare people. "
Xiao Chen blushed with shame in his heart. Regardless of what Emperor Wu is, he is still Emperor Wu. You look down on him, but he can destroy me with just a finger.
Bai Shuihe, who was in front, saw the strange expression on Xiao Chen's face. A look of doubt flashed in his eyes. After a while, he said, "You who are hiding, come out!"
Xiao Chen stretched out his right hand and the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand started to tremble uncontrollably. It seemed like the Lunar Shadow Saber would be drawn at any moment.
"Boom!"
Xiao Chen did his best but it was to no avail. There was a melodious sound and Ao Jiao's image was pulled out.
When Bai Shuihe saw Ao Jiao's appearance, his expression relaxed. He smiled and said, "I was wondering why this fellow looked so familiar. So, you are the inheritor of Sang Mu. Little Ao Jiao, after not seeing you for a few thousand years, you dare to look down on me, a Minor Heavenly Senior. You are ambitious, ambitious! "
However, Ao Jiao's expression was very unhappy. She looked at Bai Shuihe and said gloomily, "You … you have wasted a year's worth of hard work. Later, I will have to swallow up the Sword Spirit again."
Bai Shuihe smiled calmly and said, "You have to pay a price for speaking ill of others behind their backs."
Xiao Chen suddenly understood. Unexpectedly, the target of the Thunder King's challenge three thousand years ago was Bai Shuihe as well. However, three thousand years later, although the process was different, Xiao Chen was still stuck in Bai Shuihe's hands at the final hurdle.
Bai Shuihe returned to Xiao Chen's side and said, "Now, there is no one to disturb you. You can decide for yourself. Receive a saber strike from me. Do you dare or not?!"
The instant Ao Jiao appeared, Xiao Chen had already made up his mind. When Bai Shuihe asked him again, Xiao Chen did not hesitate to nod and say, "I dare!"
Bai Shuihe smiled gently and did not say anything more. He placed his right hand on the saber hilt on his back. His gaze was like ten thousand sabers piercing towards Xiao Chen; it was extremely sharp.
"Ka ca!"
Xiao Chen did not think too much about it. He immediately drew the Lunar Shadow Saber and held it horizontally in front of his chest. He stared at Bai Shuihe's right hand, which was holding the saber hilt.
The nervousness that Xiao Chen expected did not appear. In the instant before the battle, all of Xiao Chen's hesitation and hesitation were tossed aside. His state of mind was incomparably calm.
When Ao Jiao saw this scene, her bright eyes narrowed into a crescent moon shape. She revealed a faint smile on her face.
A person who can draw the Thunder Wood Sword is definitely not trash, Ao Jiao thought to herself.
"Xiu!"
Bai Shuihe's attack did not make Xiao Chen wait for long. When he said he would use one attack, it was one attack.
He did not use his aura to pressure Xiao Chen, nor did he use his Mental Energy to destroy Xiao Chen's state of mind. This attack was just an ordinary chop; there was nothing fancy about it.
Bai Shuihe leaped into the air and chopped down with a saber light.
It was so simple that Xiao Chen found it inconceivable. This move is full of openings. I can break it with just a casual attack. Emperor Wu's attack is too laughable.
That's not right. If it was so simple, why would there be a dead person? There must be some secret that I do not know. Let's continue watching.
Xiao Chen's thoughts raced like lightning. After he analyzed everything, he discovered some tricks.
The other party is wide open. As long as I stab his heart, I can force him to withdraw his saber and defend.
However, he is holding his saber with one hand. The angle of his grip is at a ninety-degree angle to his chest. When I attack his chest, the tip of the saber will turn. Given the length of his Dragon Tooth Saber, he will definitely be able to injure me first.
When he flies, he is only one and a half body lengths higher than me. His feet are spread apart, and he can change direction at any time. No matter where I retreat to, I will not be able to dodge.
The direction of his attack looks like it is from above. However, the angle of his body is thirty degrees forward. Actually, this attack can also be seen as coming from below.
The more Xiao Chen analyzed, the more tricks he found. The other party's attack seemed to have considered all the problems that could be considered.
It was simple and unadorned. This was probably the principle behind the great Dao being the simplest.
When Bai Shuihe was only a Martial Sage, the Four Season Saber Technique was ever-changing. The various states and mysterious phenomena dazzled the eyes.
However, at the crucial moment, Xiao Chen could always think of a way to break it and even counterattack.
However, now that the other party was at Emperor Wu's level, this simple attack gave one the feeling that it was unbreakable and unblockable.
No wonder Xiao Chen said earlier that at his level, there was no difference between one attack and ten attacks.
This attack contained more than ten kinds of Saber Techniques. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it contained thousands of Saber Techniques.
I can't use the Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations. He can see through my true body with one glance. If he attacks from above, he can chop me in half.
