Happy and Responsible Hero saw Ximen Chuixue waiting for them in the small garden at the back of the courtyard. Just like how he looked in Happy's previous life, he was very young. He looked to be in his thirties, and he was dressed in snow-white robes. His side profile was firm and proud, and his eyebrows were as straight as the clouds. When he heard the footsteps, his gaze lit up like a sword for a moment before it quickly faded away. He remained unmoved and continued to wipe the cold longsword in his hands. His actions were very light, and he seemed to be completely immersed in it, giving off the feeling that he cherished his sword a lot.
This was Ximen Chui Xue, the legendary peerless swordsman who was said to be the closest to a god and was completely immersed in the way of the sword!
When he smelled the faint medicinal fragrance that wafted into his nose, he felt relaxed and happy. As expected of the place where a peerless swordsman stayed, it was quite interesting.
"Master."
Responsible Hero took two steps forward. Right when he opened his mouth to give a reminder, Ximen Chuixue raised his hand and interrupted him without even turning his head around.
"Continue practicing your sword."
His hoarse voice had an inexplicable magnetism to it. It rose in the courtyard at a moderate pace, and it contained an awe-inspiring might that no one could refute. Responsible Hero nodded without hesitation. "Yes." Then, he turned around and left.
Ximen Chui Xue did not say anything else. He only focused on wiping the sword until it shone brightly before he carefully sheathed it.
He noticed that Ximen Chuixue's scabbard was very normal. It was black, but it was slightly longer than a normal scabbard. It was about the same length as Nation Protecting Divine Sword.
After Ximen Chuixue sheathed his sword, he still did not say anything. Instead, he walked unhurriedly toward a nearby shelf with many medicinal herbs placed on it. He began arranging the medicinal herbs on the shelf with his eyes lowered in a very serious manner.
Happy could not help but follow her.
"You're not bad for being able to receive Responsible Hero's Sword-Drawing Technique."
"Senior Ximen overpraises me." Happy was incredibly humble in front of Ximen Chuixue, because this was a true Myth Realm martial artist, and he was not a dabbler like Jinjiu and Yinshi.
"The Murong Clan's sword technique is pretty good, but it's a pity that I never had the chance to see it." Ximen Chuixue did not react to Happy's attitude. While he combed through the herbs, he said as if he was chatting with Happy, "It's been a long time since I fought against anyone. Since you can withstand my unfilial disciple's sword slash, you should be able to withstand half of my sword force. Do you dare fight against me?"
Surprise appeared on Happy's face, and he wrapped his fist in his palm.
"Thank you for your kind guidance, Senior …"
Ding!
System Notification:
"Accept Ximen Chuixue's guidance. If you can last through three moves, you will gain Ximen Chuixue's favor, and if you successfully receive three moves, you will activate the quest to investigate Sword of Heavenly Lake Plate in depth. If you fail, you will die!"
"…"
When he heard the notification from the system, his pupils shrank swiftly.
Failure … and death?!
At that moment, Ximen Chuixue finally looked up, and a slight hint of praise appeared on his face. "It's been a long time since someone came to challenge me. As expected of a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. There are rumors in the world of martial artists that a peerless genius has appeared in the Murong Clan. Today, let me see just how strong you are. Don't worry, I won't use my full strength against you. I will only use half of my strength, and I will attack three times.
The last sentence was spoken louder.
Right when he finished speaking, he suddenly scowled. His hair stood on end, and he sensed an unprecedented threat and pressure from Ximen Chuixue.
Ximen Chuixue's hand had already landed on his sword hilt at some point of time.
A great sense of danger seized Happy's breath like an invisible hand.
His heart tightened! Without another word, Happy's Nation Protecting Divine Sword landed in his hand, and a dazzling light shone from his hand.
Whine!
The dazzling snowflakes and the dazzling light practically intersected with each other in the air.
Happy's attack speed, explosive attack, and explosive retreat were all done in one go. If Responsible Hero were here, he would definitely have a look of disbelief on his face, because the speed that Happy's instantaneous explosive attack was definitely not inferior to his!
In the blink of an eye, the dazzling light disappeared like melting snow, and the dazzling snowflakes closed in on Happy at lightning speed.
But!
Emperor Shocks World was not a normal attack.
As a secret technique, the small silver dragon that followed after crashed into the snowflakes without caring about its own safety, and they negated each other.
"Not bad!" Ximen Chuixue praised Happy, which was a rare sight, but before his voice faded away, he noticed that once Happy drew his sword, he had actually delivered eighteen consecutive thrusts in an instant.
Each sword glare did not cause any sound of wind. They were like rays of light that shot forward, and they were as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Ximen Chuixue.
A hint of surprise finally flashed in Ximen Chuixue's eyes.
'What a fast sword!'
Naturally, he did not know that when the system notification appeared and he showed signs of attacking, Happy had already entered a fighting state at full strength.
When he faced a Myth Realm martial artist, Happy did not dare to be careless.
He delivered eighteen thrusts in an instant, and not only did they cover all the spots where Ximen Chuixue could dodge, they also fused with the wall behind Ximen Chuixue to form a cage.
Right when he attacked, he had the momentum to kill with the force of a thunderbolt.
"Good sword technique!"
A fighting spirit that had never appeared before shone in Ximen Chuixue's eyes. His longsword brought with it a string of cold snowflakes, and with the most direct method, he destroyed all of Happy's attacks in the air.
Cling cling clang clang!
A series of clanging sounds rose, and the lightning glares that shot forward instantly scattered.
Ximen Chuixue did not hold back anymore. He moved like the wind, and his body moved like lightning. With the remaining power from the sword glares he destroyed, he became one with his sword and turned into a snow-white afterimage. He delivered the final sword slash he promised.
It was as if a cold ray of light shot out of the scattered lightning glares.
At that moment, Happy had already closed his eyes. He quickly formed a seal with his hands and faced Ximen Chuixue's cold sword slash. With great difficulty, he pushed three of his fingers together, and a sword qi that was filled with a destructive presence shot out.
Three Dragons Sword Qi!
Under Happy's powerful spiritual senses, Three Dragons Sword Qi crashed into the cold sword slash that came out of Ximen Chuixue's shattered sword glare.
Boom!
A violent gust of wind raged in the courtyard. Ximen Chuixue stood at the center of the vortex. His robes fluttered, and his feet did not move. However, the shattered sword glare viciously destroyed the herb rack behind Ximen Chuixue, and the backyard was in a mess.
Happy grunted and staggered a few steps back before he managed to regain his footing. His chest heaved violently, and his face was incredibly pale. He panted harshly, but his eyes shone with delight and excitement.
When he released Three Dragons Sword Qi just now, he was already incredibly weak, but with Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting his body, he managed to withstand it.
"Senior Ximen, Happy has already withstood three slashes as promised."
The surprise on Ximen Chuixue's face lasted for a few seconds before he sighed. "I could not help but use seventy percent of my strength for the final slash. I didn't expect that you would be able to receive it and be fine. It's no wonder why you were able to easily defeat that unworthy disciple of mine." As he spoke, he bent down and grabbed a blade of grass from the messy ground.
"Eat it. It can heal your internal injuries. Responsible Hero mentioned just now that you have something to talk to me about. Now, tell me."
