"Go!"
Xiao Fan only lowered his eyes when he saw the old man in grey slashing at him. He remained calm and took out the Great Halberd of the State again. He opened his palm and said softly. Then, the Great Halberd of the State shot out from his hand. It turned into a stream of light in the air and shot towards the old man in grey.
"Heart Sword Method!"
The old man in grey's face immediately froze when he saw the Great Halberd of the State flying towards him. It was replaced by a grave expression. After all, he was from the Heavenly Sword Mountain. Although he was only an outer disciple, he still had experience. He could tell how terrifying the Great Halberd of the State was with a single glance. Hence, he immediately changed his sword method without any hesitation. At the same time, he growled.
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"
As the old man in grey spoke, the tip of the iron sword in his hand immediately vibrated violently. It vibrated at a high frequency of ten thousand times per second, constantly shaking the void.
As the tip of the sword vibrated, countless materialized sword rays immediately shot out from his body. Then, as if they were alive, they all gathered on the iron sword in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, the iron sword in the old man's hand turned into a huge sword that shone with snowy light. It seemed transparent, but it emitted an extremely dangerous aura.
When the sword slashed down, space was instantly sliced apart, and countless deep sword marks appeared on the ground. Then, the sword let out a clear cry, and like a dragon, it collided head-on with the Continent Destroyer Halberd.
"Clang!"
The old man's iron sword and the Great Halberd of the State clashed loudly. An extremely clear sound of metal clashing rang out, constantly shaking the air. It also shook everyone's eardrums and souls.
"Thud! Thud!
Thud! "The old man in grey's expression immediately changed when the iron sword and the Great Halberd of the State clashed. The snowy light in his hand bloomed, and the translucent sword disintegrated inch by inch. It turned back into the iron sword from before.
Then, the old man in grey retreated continuously. Every step he took was deep into the rocky ground, shattering it into pieces.
In the end, he retreated all the way to the edge of the cliff at the peak of the Full Moon Mountain. Then, he finally stabilized himself and came to a stop. He was only one step away from falling into the bottomless mountain stream.
At this moment, not only was the old man in grey's face as pale as paper, but his mouth, ears, nostrils, and eyes were also bleeding non-stop. This made him look extremely terrifying, like a ferocious demon.
It was obvious that he had used all his strength in order to withstand the horrifying attack from the Great Halberd. At the same time, he also paid a heavy price of internal injuries.
"Not bad!"
Xiao Fan's expression was calm as he looked at the grey-clothed old man standing at the edge of the cliff. He nodded and gave the grey-clothed old man a positive evaluation.
The old man in grey's cultivation base was not high. He was at the same cultivation base as the people from the various sects that Xiao Fan had killed. He was at the pinnacle of Lesser Celestial Realm.
However, in terms of combat power, the old man in grey could kill half of those people by himself. After that, he could still retreat calmly.
The Sky Sword Mountain was indeed the Sky Sword Mountain. Any outer disciple that they sent out was extremely powerful. It was not something that the people from the outside world could compare to.
"Puff!"
As Xiao Fan spoke, the Great Halberd of the State flew back automatically and returned to Xiao Fan's hand. The moment the Great Halberd of the State left the iron sword, the old man in grey could not take it anymore. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, his body staggered violently and he almost fell to the ground.
"Your Sword Dao is considered to be at the entry level. It seems like you are definitely not a nobody among the outer disciples of the Sky Sword Mountain!" Xiao Fan spoke again. He nodded at the old man in grey and said, "However, it's a pity that you did not cultivate the Simple Sword Art. Instead, you cultivated the Heart Sword Art. Therefore, although you are at the entry level of the Sword Dao, it will be extremely difficult for you to truly enter the Sword Dao!"
There were two basic sword arts in the Sky Sword Mountain, the Simple Sword Art and the Heart Sword Art. These two sword arts were the foundation of all sword skills in the Sky Sword Mountain. Only by cultivating these two basic sword arts to perfection could one cultivate more advanced sword skills.
No matter who the outer disciples were, they were only allowed to cultivate these two basic sword arts. As one of the outer disciples of the Sky Sword Mountain, the old man in grey had chosen the Heart Sword Art.
As for the Simple Sword Art and the Heart Sword Art, Xiao Fan had a deep understanding of the difference between the two sword arts when he fought against the Sky Sword Mountain's geniuses.
When he became a Great Emperor, Xiao Fan recalled the past and calmed himself down. He had a clearer understanding of the Heart Sword Art and the Simple Sword Art that he had encountered in the past.
Although the Heart Sword Art was relatively faster and more powerful, its foundation was unstable. On the other hand, the Simple Sword Art, as its name implied, was clumsier in terms of cultivation speed and power.
However, if one could really endure the loneliness and cultivate the Simple Sword Art to the peak, then use the Simple Sword Art as a foundation, one would be able to truly enter the Sword Dao in the future and become a true legend of the sword.
Xiao Fan used the sharp insight of a Great Emperor to comment on the reason why the old man in grey could not truly enter the Sword Dao in the future.
"I can't truly enter the Sword Dao by cultivating the Heart Sword Art? I can only truly enter the Sword Dao by cultivating the Simple Sword Art? " Faced with Xiao Fan's words, the grey-clothed old man's face was still pale. However, a cold smile surfaced on his face. "You, a person who doesn't know anything about swordsmanship, dares to spout nonsense here?"
"Of all the people in Laozu Sect in our Sky Sword Mountain, which one isn't a true legend of the sword? Which one of them didn't cultivate the Heart Sword Art? "
"No one has practiced this stupid sword art for a long time because it has been proven to be wrong!"
"No one cultivates the Simple Sword Art anymore? It has been proven wrong? The people in Laozu Sect in Sky Sword Mountain all cultivated the Heart Sword Art? " Xiao Fan immediately shook his head when he heard the grey-clothed old man's words. He sighed and said, "That's a pity. Your Sky Sword Mountain might have once truly stepped into the Great Way of the Sword and reach an extremely glorious state. However, there's no such hope now!"
"After a few thousand years, I'm afraid your glorious Sky Sword Mountain will reach the end of its decline!"
"Pity, what a pity!"
Xiao Fan shook his head.
Xiao Fan had heard about the battle between the Heart Sword Art and the Simple Sword Art in Sky Sword Mountain when he was in Dongling Lower Prefecture. It was said that when Sky Sword Mountain was first established, the two founders of Laozu Sect started with the Heart Sword Art and the Simple Sword Art.
These two founding ancestors of Heavenly Sword Mountain were equally matched in terms of battle prowess. Because of this, the descendants of Heavenly Sword Mountain had always found it difficult to determine who was superior between the Heart Sword Art and the Clumsy Sword Art. Neither could suppress the other, neither could convince the other.
However, it was a pity that everything had finally reached a turning point!
Perhaps because the Simple Sword Art was slowly cultivated in the early stages, as time passed, the number of people who cultivated it decreased. Until now, the Simple Sword Art had completely declined in Sky Sword Mountain. It was completely suppressed by the Heart Sword Art, which had obvious effects in the early stages.
However, the people of Sky Sword Mountain didn't know at all. Perhaps the two founders of Laozu Sect in Sky Sword Mountain didn't know that the Heart Sword Art was wrong. Even if the Heart Sword Art was powerful for a short period of time, it would eventually lead to the wrong path and there would be no turning back. On the other hand, the Simple Sword Art was the true path to the Great Dao of the Sword.
Originally, Sky Sword Mountain still had hopes of stepping into the ranks of the Great Dao of the Sword. In the future, it wasn't impossible for them to compete with the forces in the Central Prefecture and the Upper Prefecture that had truly stepped into the Great Dao of the Sword. This was because although they had doubts about the Simple Sword Art, there were still people who believed in it.
However, when they completely changed their minds and permanently abandoned the Simple Sword Art to choose the Heart Sword Art, the fate of Sky Sword Mountain's decline was sealed.
It was only a matter of time. Sky Sword Mountain would be destroyed.
"Ignorant child. Sky Sword Mountain is now at its peak. There are many legends of the sword in Laozu Sect. Decline and decline? You're simply delusional! "The grey-robed elder sneered. His pale face still flashed with coldness as he spoke.
"Be on your way!"
The reason why Xiao Fan was saying so much to the grey-robed elder was because he recalled the Sky Sword Mountain's prodigy that he had fought in the Prodigy Battle of the Three Major Regions.
That Sky Sword Mountain's prodigy had once cultivated the Simple Sword Art. In the arena, he had fought fiercely with Xiao Fan for over a thousand rounds. In the end, although the two of them couldn't sit down and truly become friends for some reason, they both understood each other. Unknowingly, there was a feeling of mutual appreciation.
That was the reason why Xiao Fan had spoken those words. Unfortunately, the gray clothed old man had come to kill him. Thus, Xiao Fan had no choice but to not say anything. Instead, he calmly spoke and prepared to attack to end all of this.
"Kill!"
The gray-clothed old man roared once again as the metal sword in his hand began to vibrate at an even higher speed. A resplendent sword glow that was even brighter than before shot out from his body as he prepared to launch a second attack at Xiao Fan.
At the same time, a small azure gourd suddenly appeared in his hand. As soon as the gourd appeared, countless sharp sword Qi shot out from it.
Afterwards, the sword Qi that filled the sky materialized in the air. Like a storm that could devour the world, they all shot towards Xiao Fan.
After being instantly defeated by Xiao Fan, the grey-robed elder still did not fear Xiao Fan. He even dared to attack Xiao Fan again because of the azure gourd that could shoot out countless sharp sword Qi.
