"That's not right. That is not Luo Water. That is the Lunar Shadow Saber!"
Suddenly, someone's expression changed greatly. He opened his mouth and cried out in shock, as if he had seen the most unreasonable thing in the world.
An uproar immediately spread among all the spectating martial artists.
"What happened? Where is Wen Ziran's saber?"
"Impossible, this is impossible, it must be an illusion."
However, as Wen Ziran stretched out his hand to the bottom of the lake, he grabbed the two halves of the River Water Saber. An unacceptable fact had happened just like that.
Countless sabers broke. The famed Luo River, which carried the Saber Sovereign Wu Xiaotian's hopes, broke.
No one had expected that the result would be like this. It was the famed saber Luo Shui that was broken.
As for the saber that belonged to Xiao Chen, it still stood proudly in the air, shining with a dazzling brilliance.
The surroundings were silent for a long time.
On the Ying Family's Battleship, Kim Tae-ho's jaw dropped. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled. "You almost scared this Lord Fatty to death. I really can't open this board so carelessly in the future."
The solemn expression on Ying Qiong's face slowly relaxed, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
--- On Nine Dragons Lake, Wen Ziran held the broken saber. His expression was somewhat shocked, but he did not feel too surprised.
Wen Ziran smiled faintly and put away the broken saber. Then, he wiped off the blood at the corner of his lips and looked at Xiao Chen. "I heard from Master three days ago that you obtained a good saber at Sword Forging Manor. However, I did not expect it to be so strong. What is the name of this saber?"
"Lunar Shadow." Xiao Chen waved his hand and returned his saber to its sheath, answering honestly.
Wen Ziran muttered to himself for a while. Then, he raised his head and smiled. "Lunar Shadow, that is a pretty good name. I will remember it. Let's continue the duel!"
Upon hearing Wen Ziran's words, the surrounding cultivators frowned slightly. Wen Ziran's saber was already broken. Why did he still want to compete?
Xiao Chen withdrew his palm and put away the Lunar Shadow Saber. He nodded and said, "I will not use a saber in this battle. You can choose another saber."
Xiao Chen cultivated the Flawless saber Dao. Having a saber in his hand was just icing on the cake. It wouldn't affect his combat strength, but it was different for the other party.
Wen Ziran smiled and said, "There is no need to choose a saber. The Luo Water Art that I cultivate has a great advantage in this Nine Dragons Lake. I have long heard of the Flawless saber Dao. Let me see how extraordinary the saber Dao that made the ancient people show their sages is. "
Xiao Chen was not a stubborn and inflexible person. He could tell that Wen Ziran had already accepted the outcome of this battle.
What he wanted was nothing more than to find an opponent who was on par with him so that he could make a breakthrough in this battle.
Since that was the case, then he would have nothing to worry about and fight to his heart's content!
The two of them looked at each other and saw the raging fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
The calm lake water surged with undercurrents. It was as if a great dragon hidden in the depths of the lake had opened its eyes and was accumulating power to soar into the sky.
Feeling this atmosphere, the many cultivators on the warship and spirit birds all shut their mouths, waiting for an exciting battle to begin.
Unexpectedly, the one to make the first move was Wen Ziran, who had broken his saber.
When Wen Ziran smashed his palm on the water, there was a loud 'boom.' Nine huge three-kilometer-tall waves surged out in all directions.
The waves surged forward like huge dragons. Nine dragons roared ferociously, giving off a strong aura that could swallow up the world. In an instant, they buried Xiao Chen within them.
Xiao Chen's gaze sank. The nine huge dragon-like waves surged over. Each of them contained at least ten thousand tons of force. When they merged, they could even crush a tall mountain.
Most importantly, every one of the thousand-zhang tall waves contained a peerless sharpness. That was Wen Ziran's Great Perfection saber soul, which perfectly merged with the will of water.
Wen Ziran drove his peak strength with just a gentle palm strike. Even without a saber, Wen Ziran could not be underestimated.
Many of the spectating cultivators were bladesmen. When they saw Wen Ziran's palm strike, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. If they faced this palm strike, they would most likely be crushed into meat paste on the spot, dying without a complete corpse.
Wen Ziran threw a palm strike and muttered to himself, "Xiao Chen, this is just the beginning. Don't disappoint me!"
The waves formed the momentum of the nine dragons. The instant they were about to merge, Xiao Chen made his move.
A saber light lit up on Xiao Chen's body. His body became like a saber, his shoulders like a saber, and his hair like sabers. As his figure moved, he sent out nine saber strikes.
His shoulders, hair, palms, and other parts of his body clashed with the nine waves. Nine explosions rang out.
Outside Nine Dragons Lake, the nine peaks trembled and gave off dragon roars, echoing for fifty kilometers around. As the sound waves spread out, the surrounding warships and Spirit Beasts seemed to be moved by a huge hand, flipping many of them over.
Such a strange turn of events caused the remaining cultivators to feel fear in their hearts. They all rode on their warships and Spirit Beasts and retreated.
Right after Wen Ziran broke the nine waves, he used the many layers of water to charge over to Xiao Chen in the blink of an eye. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
Endless waves rose up on the Nine Dragons Lake. The two of them exchanged moves quickly, flying quickly over the vast lake.
Wen Ziran used water as a saber. With a casual swing, the scattered lake water turned into boundless saber lights. With a thought, a wave containing strong force became the most ferocious Saber Technique.
The sound of water surged endlessly. By relying on the terrain, Wen Ziran's aura actually surpassed that of Xiao Chen's. Even though Wen Ziran clearly did not have a saber in his hand, his aura flourished, each wave stronger than the one before.
"The River Water Incantation. I heard that the Saber Sovereign Wu Xiaotian found this Cultivation Technique in an ancient Remnant. Wen Ziran truly lives up to his reputation as a genius. He probably practiced this ancient Cultivation Technique to Great Perfection, just one step short of consummation. "
"I really did not expect that after losing the River Water Saber, Wen Ziran could still hold the upper hand."
Wen Ziran's strength made everyone's eyes light up, causing many praises to ring out.
Xiao Chen remained calm. Wen Ziran's cultivation was one cultivation grade higher than his. His comprehension of the Water Saber Dao had already reached an extremely deep level.
Wen Ziran could turn water into a saber as he pleased, giving him a great advantage in this Nine Dragons Lake.
If Xiao Chen did not use the Lunar Shadow Saber, he would have a hard time dealing with such a person.
Actually, the main problem was that Xiao Chen only used his Saber Techniques in this battle to show his respect.
If he used the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Immortal Arts, Magic Skills, and a strong physical body, he would be able to defeat Wen Ziran in one hundred moves. If Xiao Chen wanted to defeat the bladeless Wen Ziran, he would only need one hundred moves.
However, Wen Ziran's saber was already broken in this battle. Victory was no longer Xiao Chen's goal.
Dragons roared endlessly as the two in the lake fought an intense battle. Xiao Chen brought out his Flawless saber Dao to its limits.
His opponent's exquisite Water Saber Dao broadened his mind significantly. For example, the other party's killing move, Moon in Water, was a great eye-opener for Xiao Chen.
After witnessing the Moon in the Water, Flawless Bright Moon experienced a qualitative improvement.
Flawless Bright Moon, Flawless Four Seasons, and Subduing Dragon Profound Slash — the three strongest moves of his Saber Techniques, Xiao Chen executed them one after another.
Relying on the vast Nine Dragons Lake, although Wen Ziran had a hard time receiving them, he managed to receive them one by one, preventing himself from collapsing on the spot.
After one thousand moves, both sides gained something. The victor was still undecided. However, both of them sat cross-legged on the lake, closing their eyes and thinking.
On one side, it was drizzling. On the other, lightning occasionally flashed in the sky.
Such a scene confused the other cultivators. This was clearly a duel. Why were both sides in such a rush to decide a victor?
After a long time, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes became withdrawn. In this battle, Xiao Chen did not hold back at all in terms of Saber Techniques. He could be said to have met his match, fighting to his heart's content.
This was like a great test, allowing Xiao Chen to gain a comprehensive understanding of his Saber Techniques.
At this moment, as long as Xiao Chen willed it, he could easily cross the line between Superior Grade Martial Sage and grandmaster-level Martial Sage, becoming a grandmaster-level Martial Sage.
After that, Wen Ziran opened his eyes and said calmly, "I lost this duel. Let's fight again at Nine Dragons Lake three years from now. "
"The victor is not decided yet. Let's just treat it as a draw."
Wen Ziran smiled faintly and said, "To me, victory or defeat is nothing. You still have tricks up your sleeves. How can I not tell? I believe that you will give everyone a shock at the King conferral ceremony two months from now. "
Xiao Chen was very relaxed as he chatted with Wen Ziran. The two just sat on the lake and chatted, discussing their views on each other's Saber Techniques.
As they chatted and laughed, the two performed cupped-fist salutes and said their goodbyes.
"Should we enter Heavenly Saber City and rest for a while? There are many spectators with ulterior motives," Wen Ziran suggested as he looked into the distance.
If the land of the Three Holy Masters really reached an agreement with the three Sovereign Noble Clans of the human race, then this duel between Xiao Chen and Wen Ziran would be an excellent opportunity for the other party to make a move.
How could Xiao Chen not guess this? He had expected it long ago, so he did not fear these people.
After entering Heavenly Saber City, Xiao Chen would have to come out sooner or later, so he rejected Wen Ziran's invitation.
This duel ended with Wen Ziran taking the initiative to admit defeat. The spectators slowly scattered. This duel could not be considered startling.
Aside from the initial exchange of sabers, which was very exciting and soul-stirring, the subsequent duel between the two was grand and shocking. However, neither side showed any intention of competing with the other.
Rather than calling it a duel, it was more like an exchange of pointers between bladesmen. Both sides were evenly matched, testing each other's moves. There was no desire to win.
All the bladesmen present were incredibly excited. As Xiao Chen and Wen Ziran exchanged moves, they merged the Saber Techniques and Saber Dao that they had learned and comprehended. Each of them combined the Saber Arts and Saber Dao that they had learned and comprehended. More or less, they all gained something from it.
Xiao Chen gently floated up and arrived on the Ying Clan's warship.
On the bow, Kim Tae-ho and Lord Jiu were grinning from ear to ear. When they saw Xiao Chen board, they quickly went forward to greet him.
"Can you lend this Fat Lord your Dragon's Gate's warship for a while?" Kim Tae-ho asked in anticipation as he rubbed his hands together.
Lord Jiu, who was at the side, said, "Fatso won quite a lot from the opening of the bets. He is planning to reopen a merchant association without a warship or status."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Take it. I'll take some time to send a letter to Shui Lingling and get the Haotian Sect to take care of your business. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come and look for me directly. "
Ying Qiong walked over slowly and said softly, "Hehe! Big Sister will invest the money you borrowed from me. Can I make it a big share?"
When Kim Tae-ho heard this, he rejoiced and nodded continuously.
With the support of the Haotian Sect and the Ying Clan, given Xiao Chen's means, it would be hard for this merchant association not to become big.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me. In less than three years, this Fat Lord will definitely achieve some results."
After chatting for a while, Fatso stood up and took his leave. Lord Jiu quickly followed. After asking, Xiao Chen found out that Fatso had hired Lord Jiu to be his bodyguard.
