"What are you going to do? Are you going to use your strength to crush them? If you think that way, I'm afraid you'll be defeated in one round. "
Ao Jiao's cold words were like a cold water splashed on Xiao Chen's body, causing him to feel a chill down his spine. Just a moment ago, he was still immersed in the joy of his huge harvest, but now, all of a sudden, he felt an indescribable fear in his heart.
People needed to wake up by themselves, but how many people could truly wake up by themselves? Their strength and achievements increased crazily. Sometimes, you don't even notice it yourself, but you're already so engrossed in it that you think you're awake.
Xiao Chen frowned bitterly and stretched out his hand. The Lunar Shadow Saber appeared in his right hand. He vaguely felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
"Since you are a bladesman, why do you need to use these unorthodox methods of the God Race?"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen recalled what Yan Shisan said to him. At that time, he did not think much of it, thinking that Yan Shisan misunderstood and underestimated him.
Actually, the other party was feeling pity for Xiao Chen. The onlooker sees more clearly than the person involved. If Xiao Chen walked further down this path, no one would remember the White Robed Bladesman of the past.
Even if he could obtain a brief moment of glory, he would not be able to go far on the path of martial arts if he abandoned his foundation.
After a long time, Xiao Chen sighed and said with a serious expression, "Many thanks, Ao Jiao. My saber will never give up. I, Xiao Chen, will always be a bladesman."
Ao Jiao smiled faintly and didn't say anything else. Since ancient times, sages and sages were all lonely. They either went crazy in loneliness or reached the peak in loneliness.
She believed. She had always believed that Xiao Chen was the latter.
Rushing Thunder Saber Technique, Lingyun Saber Technique, Wukui Saber Technique, Four Season Saber Technique, Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, Dragon Subduing Slash.
In merely four years in the Sky Dome Realm, Xiao Chen had practiced so many Saber Techniques. Aside from the Dragon Subduing Slash, he had practiced the other five Saber Techniques to Great Perfection.
Xiao Chen counted the Saber Techniques that he had learned in the past few years. Each Saber Technique represented a past event. Scenes of the past appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.
The Rushing Thunder Saber Technique, the Promise of Ten Years in Mohe City. Using this Saber Technique, he defeated the Young Clan Heads of the Zhang and Tang Clans.
Lingyun Saber Technique. In the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Xiao Chen had relied on this Saber Technique to defeat the core disciples of the other peaks in one fell swoop.
Xiao Chen took the top spot, fighting for Qingyun Peak and Liu Ruyue's honor in front of everyone.
Later on, when the Phoenix's Passion Palace's envoy arrived at the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Mu Chengxue exposed his identity. The Wukui Saber Technique allowed him to defeat the disciples of various Noble Clans. From then on, the title of White Robed Bladesman spread like wildfire.
Comprehending the Four Season Saber Technique in one move made Xiao Chen famous. During the Five Nation Youth Competition, he used this Saber Technique to defeat the outstanding talents of the Sky Dome Realm.
His path was filled with glory, and his saber skills improved by leaps and bounds.
However, after more than a year in the Kunlun Realm, Xiao Chen's cultivation of his saber skills showed signs of stagnating.
The reason was not hard to explain. Although Xiao Chen had joined the Haotian Sect, he had never attended an elder's lecture. There were no masters proficient in the saber in the sect, either, who were worthy of Xiao Chen's admiration.
At Xiao Chen's current cultivation realm, he still had to rely on his own comprehension. Taking large strides forward would definitely be difficult.
Secondly, out of all the Saber Techniques that Xiao Chen grasped, only the Dragon Subduing Slash caught his attention. However, a Saber Technique at the level of the Dragon Subduing Slash was not like the Saber Techniques of the past, where he could comprehend it with just one look.
Every move had its own deep meaning. Normally, comprehending one move would take a long time. There were even some mysteries that, without a fortuitous encounter, one would not be able to comprehend no matter how much time one spent.
Furthermore, with the appearance of the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Xiao Chen unknowingly distanced himself from the Dragon Subduing Slash.
When Xiao Chen heard what Ao Jiao said, he found it somewhat inconceivable. How could he have forgotten his identity as a bladesman?
However, when he thought about it carefully, everything made sense. Even without the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, if Xiao Chen did not wake up to it, his identity as a bladesman would drift further and further away.
Now that he had found the problem, the solution was not far away. After thinking for a long time, Xiao Chen more or less figured out where the problem lay.
Xiao Chen had to systematically learn a Saber Technique that was compatible with his current cultivation realm. Furthermore, when he reached the Martial Sage Realm, it would not be outdated.
This Saber Technique could not be like the Dragon Subduing Slash, which could only be used as a killing move. It could be executed as easily as the Four Season Saber Technique.
Martial Techniques had always been expensive. Without a large amount of Astral Coins, he would not be able to purchase a Martial Technique that suited Xiao Chen's requirements. Even if he had money, he would not be able to buy it.
However, Xiao Chen already had a vague idea. There was no need to worry too much about how to obtain this Saber Technique.
Ten days later, Hunluo Province's provincial capital, Hunluo City, appeared before Xiao Chen's eyes once again.
Tall, majestic city walls, cultivators moving in a hurry, cultivators exuding baleful auras, and chaotic battles were everywhere. Like before, this place had not changed at all.
Fighting and killing were very normal in Hunluo City. It would be strange if there were no such things.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to enter the city, he squinted and exclaimed softly. He stopped and looked at a battle.
One side wore the uniform of the Eternal Heavenly Sword School. There were more people there, about fifty or sixty of them. Most of them were early-stage Superior Grade Martial Monarchs.
The other side had only two people. Furthermore, with one look, it was clear that they were not local cultivators of Hunluo Province.
One of them brandished a halberd. As he walked, he exuded might. Every move he made was straightforward. No one could get within five steps of him.
The other person used a saber. His Saber Techniques were exquisite and exquisite. As the saber light flickered, blood spurted out and miserable cries resounded.
The Eternal Heavenly Sword School had the advantage in numbers. However, these two people firmly controlled the flow of the battle. In less than two hours, they would all be wiped out.
The people of the Eternal Heavenly Sword School understood this as well. However, they did not scatter. Instead, they persistently held the two people back, not letting them leave.
With one glance, Xiao Chen figured out what the other party was planning. The Eternal Heavenly Sword School was one of the six major sects of Hunluo Province. Its branch in the city would definitely be significant.
If things went wrong, there might even be a Martial Sage. Even if a Martial Sage did not come, just a few half-Sages would come. Even a peak Superior Grade Martial Monarch would not have a good ending.
Xiao Chen smiled in disappointment and frustration. Unexpectedly, he could run into some old acquaintances here.
These two people were none other than the Sky Dome Realm's Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian. Since they parted at Bushin Palace, Xiao Chen had not seen them for more than a year already.
Naturally, Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian, who were surrounded, were not fools. They knew what these Eternal Heavenly Sword School disciples were planning. They tried to charge out several times but failed every time.
The longer this dragged on, the more grave their expressions became. If the Eternal Heavenly Sword School's half-Sages arrived, it would be difficult for the two to leave.
Just at this moment, thunder suddenly roared. A flickering electric light tore through the sky, dazzling everyone.
The many Eternal Heavenly Sword School disciples could not help but feel a cold wind containing killing Qi. When they looked back, a boundless saber Qi immediately entered their eyes.
The saber Qi gave off a bright light. They seemed to see a blurry white figure behind it, holding a saber with one hand. A black wind blew, and his robes fluttered.
Before the Eternal Heavenly Sword School disciples could react, the purple saber Qi flew out like a rainbow piercing through the sun and chopped the Eternal Heavenly Sword School disciples in half.
A scarlet light shot out, and the saber Qi disappeared in a flash. The ten-odd cultivators in front of them all died in one strike.
"Quick, run!"
The remaining Eternal Heavenly Sword School disciples cried out in horror. They no longer dared to linger, fleeing for the city.
The strong wind did not stop. Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and walked over to Bai Wuxue and Xuanyuan Zhantian. Then, he smiled faintly.
"Xiao Chen!"
When Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian saw that the person who attacked was Xiao Chen, they were stunned. Clearly, they had not expected to meet him here.
At a table by the window of an inn in Hunluo City, Xiao Chen, Bai Qi, and Xuanyuan Zhantian drank wine and chatted casually.
From their conversation, Xiao Chen learned that Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian had joined the same Nine Ranks of the Great Families. They had done well in the past year, successfully becoming true inheritors.
However, the competition in the Kunlun Realm was much greater than in the Sky Dome Realm. The glory of the past had faded away long ago, and they had to start all over again.
This time, the two had come to Hunluo Province for a sect mission: to hunt a Desolate Dragon. Who knew, after they killed the Desolate Dragon, they would run into an Eternal Heavenly Sword School disciple for some reason?
Without saying anything, the other party demanded that the two hand over the Desolate Dragon's remains. The Desolate Dragon's remains were for the mission. Naturally, the two refused, so a conflict erupted between them. This resulted in the scene that Xiao Chen saw.
The Desolate Dragon was a sub-dragon that contained the blood of a True Dragon. In a situation where one could not find the remains of a True Dragon, the Desolate Dragon's remains were a pretty good substitute.
"Haha! Think about the geniuses of our Sky Dome Realm. After the Five Nation Youth Competition, they were all in high spirits, preparing to show off their skills in the Kunlun Realm. Unfortunately, after more than a year, they are all unknown. Some of them even ended up in miserable states.
"Only you, Xiao Chen, are still that absolute genius from back then. As a Martial Monarch, you dared to challenge one of the seven giants, Bai Wuxue, and even obtained his acknowledgment. Now, very few people in the Tianwu Domain do not know your name."
Bai Qi sighed as he picked up his wine cup and took a sip.
Back then, although Xiao Chen was stronger than Bai Qi, it was not as if he could not catch up. However, in the Kunlun Realm, their cultivations and reputations seemed to never be on the same level.
When Xuanyuan Zhantian spoke of the past, he also felt somewhat sad. This Eastern Sea's Little Dragon King, who once comprehended the state of kingship, was now like a True Dragon trapped in the shallows.
Before a large group of geniuses who were much stronger than him, his state of kingship became a joke, receiving many blows and mockery.
For Xuanyuan Zhantian to be able to make it this far without collapsing was because he still had a proud heart. He had not forgotten his past glory and his goal. However, he had no idea how long he could last.
Very few people in the Kunlun Realm dared to use the state of kingship as their foundation. The more flourishing the age, the more demonic geniuses there were, the harder this path would be.
Xiao Chen did not know what to say. He changed the topic and asked, "Are there any major changes in the Tianwu Domain now?"
There were still two months left before Xiao Chen left the Tianwu Domain. That would be one year away. In the past, one year might have passed in the blink of an eye.
