The sunset glow on the horizon gradually disappeared, and so did the glow on the lake. The wind blowing from the lake grew colder and colder. The fire by the lake had already been extinguished, leaving behind only a few embers that did not have any warmth. Chen Changsheng tightened his clothes and looked at the lake and mountains for a long time without saying anything. That assassin that had never appeared and could suddenly appear at any time, just where was he?
Su Li knew what he was feeling right now and said, "I said before, since he decided to wait, he will continue to wait, wait like a retard, until he reaches his own death."
These words clearly implied something.
Chen Changsheng thought, what if that assassin could not wait any longer? He did not believe that he would have any chance against such an expert.
"Senior … still has the strength to fight?"
From the snowy plains to the south, Su Li could not even walk. This morning, at the most crucial moment, he had used the Yellow Paper Umbrella to block Xue He's final blade. This inevitably gave Chen Changsheng some hope.
Su Li lectured, "The little bit of strength I managed to save up these past few days was used to protect your little life this morning. How could I still have any strength now? Do you think I'm one of those two deer that can't die from exhaustion?"
Those two deer were by the lake not far away, resting with their front hooves bent. They seemed very docile.
"Speaking of which, that final strike you used to heavily injure Xue He … was pretty good. It was actually able to suddenly flick up when the sword energy was exhausted and directly reverse the situation. What kind of sword style was that to be so handsome?"
Chen Changsheng heard Su Li's question and was very speechless. He thought to himself, could it be that you can't tell what kind of sword style it was?
But just like the conversation he and Su Li most often had, he knew that he had to answer.
"It's … the Burning Heaven Sword."
When he said these three words, he felt very embarrassed and his face revealed an embarrassed expression.
However, Su Li's skin was clearly much thicker than his. He clicked his tongue and sighed in admiration, "The person that can create this sword move is truly extraordinary."
Chen Changsheng could not continue. He hugged his knees and lowered his head, pretending that he had not heard anything.
The Burning Heaven Sword was a secret sword of the Mount Li Sword Sect. Just like the Golden Crow Sword … it was originally a sword style that Su Li had created.
He was not willing to speak, so Su Li could not continue to brag. After a moment of silence, his expression became serious. He looked at him and asked expressionlessly, "Why do you know my Burning Heaven Sword?"
This was indeed a problem.
Cultivation sects had always paid particular attention to not passing on their techniques to outsiders. Anyone who dared to steal would be pursued to death. Moreover, the Burning Heaven Sword was not an ordinary sword technique of the Mount Li Sword Sect, but a secret technique created by Su Li.
"The Burning Heaven Sword … is recorded in the secrets of the Mount Li Sword Style."
Chen Changsheng looked at Su Li's expression and nervously explained.
Su Li recalled that before the great war of several hundred years had ended, before he had finished his apprenticeship, and that he was still an ignorant little boy in the Mount Li Sword Sect. He had created this absolutely fierce sword style, and in the end, he could not resist the requests of his teachers, so he made a copy … He looked at Chen Changsheng expressionlessly and said, "So the secrets of my Mount Li's sword style are in your hands."
The disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect who had experienced the Ivy Festival and the Grand Examination, such as Gou Hanshi, Guan Feibai, and the others, had long since confirmed this fact. However, Su Li had wandered the world and simply did not care about these matters, so this was the first time they had found out. When he said the secrets of the Mount Li Sword Style, he stared into Chen Changsheng's eyes and enunciated his words particularly clearly and somewhat heavily.
Chen Changsheng had studied in Xining Village's old temple since he was a child. After entering the Orthodox Academy, he was also alone, without any teachers or schoolmates. He basically did not have any concept of sects or sects, so he naturally did not know the significance of the secrets of the Mount Li Sword Style to Mount Li. He nodded and said, "I learned Senior's Burning Heaven Sword from there."
Su Li's eyebrows twitched and he asked, "The secrets of the sword style only recorded the sword manual and the sword paths, but there is no way to circulate the sword essence. It only has the form, but not the spirit. How did you learn it?"
Chen Changsheng honestly answered, "I designed two paths for true essence to circulate. After some calculations and deductions, as well as two moves, the power is definitely not as strong as Senior's True Burning Heaven Sword, but it can still be used."
Hearing these words, Su Li was silent for a very long time.
Chen Changsheng asked, "Senior?"
Su Li looked at him and said, "No wonder when I saw you use your sword, I felt it was a little strange … you designed it yourself … when did designing sword paths become such a simple matter? Don't tell me you're actually a true genius of the path of the sword? "
Chen Changsheng did not dare to accept it. He said, "That was all Senior's wisdom. I just made some adjustments."
"Adjustments are sometimes even harder than creating them. I created the Burning Heaven Sword when I was fourteen, and you changed the Burning Heaven Sword when you were fifteen. I'm a peerless genius, so don't tell me you're an idiot? To be able to create your own path to circulate true essence, you're obviously a true genius, even a rare genius that only appears once in a thousand years. It's just that those true idiots in the capital never discovered this matter that should have been the most important. I'm afraid that even Gou Hanshi missed it. " Su Li looked at him and said with a face full of praise, "Only those demi-humans whose meridians are different from humans, but whose hearts are set on cultivating the techniques of humans, can roughly understand how important the things you've done are … no wonder the White Emperor couple allowed their precious daughter to take you as her master, and even gave you the secrets of our Mount Li Sword Style."
Chen Changsheng had never felt that he was anything special, other than the fact that he was well-versed in the Daoist Canon.
… That was only because everyone said that Gou Hanshi was very extraordinary in the Daoist Canon. Only then did he know that he and Senior Yu Ren were also very extraordinary. Yet today, there was someone who said that he was also extraordinary in the path of the sword and cultivation, even a rare genius. Moreover, the person who said this was a genius that was publicly acknowledged by the world. This made him very shocked, very happy, and also somewhat perplexed.
Then he heard Su Li mention the secrets of the Mount Li Sword Style again, and finally came to his senses. He said, "Senior, the secrets of the Mount Li Sword Style were given to me by Luoluo, but it's not mine, so I can't give it to you."
Su Li saw that he finally understood his meaning, and was just about to smile and extend his hand to receive the secrets of the Mount Li Sword Style that Chen Changsheng respectfully returned to him, and thus comfort his master's spirit in heaven. Unexpectedly, the situation did not develop like this … he was very angry. He thought to himself, could it be that all those praises and praises I gave you just now were all heard by a pig?
Chen Changsheng saw that his expression was not good, and wanted to ease the atmosphere. He smiled and said, "Senior can't steal junior's things."
He really was not good with words. This joke was not funny.
If Su Li could act now, he would definitely snatch the secrets of the Mount Li Sword Style from him. Therefore, the atmosphere did not improve at all. Instead, it became even more awkward.
"The secrets of my Mount Li Sword Style were stolen by the White Emperor clan, so I will only take it back from their hands."
Su Li looked at him and said. This sentence was said with a heroic spirit that reached the clouds, and the clouds broke the moon. But he knew it was just an excuse, or a way out. At this moment, he couldn't even defeat Chen Chang Sheng, so he couldn't snatch it. He could only not snatch it and leave it for later.
The problem was that Chen Changsheng did not know. He thought that Su Li really did think this way, so he curiously asked, "Senior, why haven't you gone to White Emperor City in these past few years to take back the secrets of the Mount Li Sword Style?"
In his view, given Su Li's cultivation and temperament on the path of the sword, since the secrets of the Mount Li Sword Style had been lost in White Emperor City, Su Li should have long since killed his way over to search for them. Thus, by asking, he had also taken away the steps under Su Li's feet.
Su Li's complexion was rather unsightly. He thought to himself that the praise he had given to this little thing was truly inferior to giving it to a pig.
