As soon as Xu Liao stepped into the carriage, he sensed that something was amiss. Shi Ji had booked a private room with only five passengers. It was quite spacious, but now Ren Lingxuan and Shi Ji were facing each other from a distance, constantly exerting their auras. Baek Hyun-jae and Cui Ying were hiding far away, gloating over their misfortune. The private room was filled with murderous intent, and there was no space left.
Xu Liao slapped the table in front of Ren Lingxuan and Shi Ji and growled, "What are you two trying to do?"
Ren Lingxuan smiled and said, "Sister Shi Ji wants to try my Yearning Swordsmanship, and I want to see West Kunlun's Interior Origin Ginseng."
Shi Ji said indifferently, "I have to know if my teammates are useless!"
Xu Liao had a headache. He did not know why Ren Lingxuan and Shi Ji could not see eye to eye. He sighed and said, "If there's anything, we can talk about it when we get there. There's no need to be so hostile in the carriage, right?"
Shi Ji said coldly, "If we know if our teammates are qualified now, there's still time to find someone new. Once we get there, it'll be too late."
Ren Lingxuan did not seem to mind. Her ten fingers were interlocked, but Xu Liao could faintly see the tiny sword glinting coldly between her fingers. She was ready to attack at any time.
Xu Liao thought, It's already taken me a lot of effort to gather the four of you. How can I find someone new?
He had to smooth things over, so he said in a deep voice, "There's no need to compete. Everyone can just say what their cultivation is like and what martial arts they're proficient in. Won't we understand each other then?"
Baek Hyun-jae added, "I'm Baek Hyun-jae from the Bai clan. I don't cultivate the martial arts passed down in my clan, but the Scripture of Kirin, one of the 365 Demonic Scriptures. I've already cultivated the Real Body of Kirin and condensed ten Gang Meridians!"
Xu Liao was slightly surprised. During his duel with Hu Xiuqing, he had heard her mention that this genius swordsman from Dongxuanxian School had refined three more energy meridians during her recent seclusion. She had opened a total of twelve energy meridians.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "If that's the case, doesn't it mean that Hu Xiuqing has surpassed Baek Hyun-jae?"
Cui Ying snorted coldly, put her hand on Baek Hyun-jae's shoulder, and said snappily, "You little brats, why are you comparing your cultivation base? I'm definitely the one with the highest cultivation. I've already formed 28 Astral Meridians and have been a Daemon King for almost 50 years. "
Ren Lingxuan's smile didn't fade. "I've only formed three astral meridians. The last one is the result of my most recent seclusion."
Shi Ji's expression was still extremely gloomy, and there wasn't a hint of emotion in her tone. She said coldly, "I've formed seven Astral Meridians, but with the help of the Interior Origin Ginseng, I have a 90% chance of killing any one of you."
Baek Hyun-jae couldn't help but say, "West Kunlun's Interior Origin Ginseng is indeed one of the Five Great Immortal Codices, but they're all famous for being difficult to cultivate. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you to break my Kirin's Real Body, right?"
Shi Ji said coldly, "Do you want to give it a try?"
Baek Hyun-jae casually tossed out a cloud of mist, which immediately turned into a miniature mountain and river. He shouted, "Then let's fight it out in Temporal Demon Spirit."
Shi Ji was obviously no stranger to this game that was specially developed for monsters. She casually injected her Demonic Qi and adjusted it to Challenge Mode. She extended her hand towards Baek Hyun-jae, and without a word, she made a gesture that said, "Come on, I'm not afraid of you."
Just as Baek Hyun-jae was about to enter the arena, Ren Lingxuan beat him to it. She injected her Demonic Qi into it and said with a smile, "Let me ask Sister Shi Ji for advice first, so that we, the disciples of Dongxuanxian School, will know the difference between us, the disciples of the upper five sects."
Shi Ji raised her eyebrows. Her incarnation had already appeared in the Temporal Demon Spirit's challenge map.
Although Xu Liao didn't understand West Kunlun's cultivation methods, he could see that Shi Ji's Sword Qi was like a tidal wave. It was obvious that she wasn't West Kunlun's Interior Origin Ginseng. He casually asked, "What cultivation method are you using?"
The Temporal Demon Spirit could only be injected with one type of Demonic Qi. Shi Ji didn't choose the Interior Origin Ginseng, but a sword art instead. This made Xu Liao feel strange.
Ren Lingxuan smiled and said, "Sister Shi Ji is using one of the seven major sword arts of West Kunlun, the Sumeru Sword! Legend has it that once this sword art is mastered, every strike will have the strength of a mountain. It can cut mountains, split the earth, and tear the sky apart. Its fame is almost on par with our Dongxuanxian School's Three Major Sword Scriptures! "
Xu Liao had heard of the Sumeru Sword before. West Kunlun was one of the eighteen immortal sects that claimed that their swordsmanship was comparable to that of Dongxuanxian School. Other than the Interior Origin Ginseng, there were also seven major sword arts. Among them, the two strongest sword arts were scrolls that could directly lead to the Perfected Person Level.
Xu Liao couldn't help but feel slightly worried. The Ren family's Yearning Swordsmanship wasn't as good as the Sumeru Sword, and Ren Lingxuan's cultivation wasn't as good as Shi Ji's. The result of the battle between the two was obvious.
He wanted to dissuade her, but Ren Lingxuan didn't care at all. She also activated her demonic aura and merged it into the Temporal Demon Spirit.
Shi Ji chose the challenge mode. The battlefield was a grassland with almost no cover. She could look into the distance and see the entire battlefield.
She made a grabbing motion, and a giant sword appeared in her palm. She pointed it at Ren Lingxuan, who was holding the Dainty Sword in her hand.
Shi Ji let out a low roar, and her entire body swept up endless waves. Wherever she passed, the grass, trees, sand, and stones were all swept up into the sky. They were swept up by the Sword Qi of the Sumeru Sword, and turned into a gray dragon that pounced towards Ren Lingxuan.
Ren Lingxuan also abandoned the complicated sword arts of the Yearning Swordsmanship. She lightly slashed the Dainty Sword in her palm, and like a freehand painting, a magnificent river appeared in front of her.
Shi Ji raised the giant sword vertically and slashed it down. In an instant, she was filled with the confidence to split the heavens and the earth. The river that Ren Lingxuan drew was instantly split apart, and the giant sword charged through like a dragon.
Just as Shi Ji's giant sword was about to reach her, Ren Lingxuan's feet paused, and her beautiful figure disappeared without a trace like a bubble. The river that Shi Ji had split open closed once again, wrapping around her from all directions.
Even Xu Liao couldn't help but inwardly praise Ren Lingxuan. No matter what, he couldn't understand how Ren Lingxuan changed her movement technique. It was Baek Hyun-jae, who was watching from the side, who chuckled and said in a low voice, "As the saying goes, 'My lover is in the water'! Great sword art! "
With Baek Hyun-jae's reminder, Xu Liao suddenly came to a realisation and remembered a poem: The reeds are green, and the white dew is the frost. As the saying goes, 'My lover is in the water'.
There were a few more lines that Xu Liao couldn't remember clearly. The whole meaning of the poem was that there was a beloved woman who seemed to be on the other side of the river. When you ran to the other side, you would find that she seemed to be in the middle of the river. When you ran to the middle of the river, you would find that she was still not there … In short, you could see her, but you couldn't find her. It was mysterious and unfathomable.
The Yearning Swordsmanship was in the water's side, and it was precisely this marvelous sword art!
