The lake wind poured into the sleeve of his Daoist robe, causing it to flap like a great banner.
The Stainless Dagger flew through the air as if it was about to ignite.
Out of respect, and also because of his strength, Chen Changsheng did not hold anything back. He attacked with his most powerful Blazing Sword, and the direction and angle chosen for this sword was naturally the Intellectual Sword.
This sword seemed perfectly straight, but in reality, it was constantly changing its path.
Guan Bai quietly stood at his original position. His sword had not moved, but his domain had already formed.
With a rip, a small hole was torn in Chen Changsheng's sleeve.
His sword had already arrived in front of Guan Bai.
Back in the wilderness, Su Li had said that in the present world, there were very few perfect Star Domains.
But the current situation was completely different from what he had said, because it was not Chen Changsheng's sword that had found a hole in Guan Bai's Star Domain, but Guan Bai who had taken the initiative to disperse his Star Domain.
It was just like the decision Liang Wangsun had made in facing Chen Changsheng's sword in Xunyang City.
They were both experts on the Proclamation of Liberation, so their intelligence in dealing with situations was often interlinked.
Although Guan Bai's cultivation in the path of the sword was high, he did not believe that he could definitely defeat Chen Changsheng, who had received Su Li's personal guidance on the path of the sword.
If he could not obtain an absolute advantage in the subtlety of his swordsmanship, then rather than forming his Star Domain and passively waiting to be attacked, it was better to rely on the advantage of his cultivation to forcefully receive the attack.
Just like that, Guan Bai's sword forcefully chopped down.
He paid no attention to Chen Changsheng's sword.
Because his cultivation level was far higher than Chen Changsheng's, he believed that his sword would assuredly be faster and heavier than Chen Changsheng's, so Chen Changsheng would assuredly have to draw back his sword to defend.
No matter how high one's talent, no matter how exquisite one's swordsmanship, it was impossible to change this fact.
Guan Bai's sword was like a waterfall descending from the sky, rumbling like thunder as it descended towards Chen Changsheng. He could only stop his advance and draw back his sword.
A sword that could not return was forced to be drawn back.
Whether it was the Blazing Sword or the Intellectual Sword, both had lost their meaning. The two most powerful sword techniques he had learned from Su Li had been so easily broken.
Fortunately, Su Li had taught him three swords in total, and the third sword was most suited for defense.
The Stainless Sword somewhat awkwardly returned to his side, somewhat clumsily raised to the sky to welcome the waterfall descending from the sky.
The waterfall was on the mountain. No matter how hard the stone mountain was, it would be washed out by the waterfall into a deep pool.
However, in the pool water, people would always see some stones covered in moss. Even after being washed by the water for a thousand years, they still didn't move, persevering there.
Just like the dagger in Chen Chang Sheng's hand.
This was a sword that not even Su Li had learned.
Guan Bai's sword energy surged forth like a tide, but it was unable to break through Chen Changsheng's defense.
The sunlight that shone on the lakeside became a lot lighter in an instant.
That was because countless golden stars exploded between their swords, as beautiful as a fiery tree.
There was a loud bang!
Chen Chang Sheng retreated a few dozen feet before he managed to stabilize his body with difficulty.
His Daoist robe was torn, his leather boots shattered, and a clear mark appeared on the stone platform.
Guan Bai did not give him any chance to catch his breath and followed his sword.
He was using the Heavenly Academy's Sword of Hithering Light. In terms of speed alone, it could be said to be unparalleled.
Countless sword lights illuminated everyone's eyes.
It was like the surface of the lake under the setting sun was covered in innumerable golden lines.
The clear cries of swords incessantly rang out, particularly concentrated, ultimately forming a straight line. It was dull and monotonous, yet it also made one's heart palpitate, like a flute playing the highest note.
Guan Bai's powerful sword intent, accompanied by this clear cry, incessantly rose higher and higher.
The sword glows on the stone platform became increasingly dazzling, making it impossible to look directly at them.
The spectators grew more and more nervous.
Guan Bai's cultivation in the path of the sword was too powerful.
No matter how exquisite Chen Changsheng's sword style was, just how long could he last?
Based on the current situation, this battle seemed to have already been decided.
Xu Yourong sat behind the curtain, the worry in the depths of her eyes unseen by anyone. The nearby South Stream Temple disciples saw her tightly clench her hands, and thought that she was excited that Chen Changsheng was about to be defeated by his opponent's sword, and that her wish had been fulfilled.
The array laid down by the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had long since been activated. The stones by the lake shore began to exude countless powerful Qis, the faintly discernible clear light separating the two on the field from the outside world.
The sword cry that seemed like a straight line finally broke. This did not mean that Guan Bai could not maintain such a fierce attack, but rather that his sword intent had already been raised to its limit. He no longer needed to deliberately condense his sword energy, but rather became even more free and unrestrained.
The sword intent grew increasingly awe-inspiring, countless smooth cracks cut into the stone floor. Even the clear light enveloping the field seemed to be on the verge of being cut apart.
Chen Changsheng and Guan Bai's movement techniques grew faster and faster, almost becoming two streams of light. They constantly spun around the field, making it very difficult to see them clearly. As for the specific sword techniques they were currently using, besides the Elder of Heavenly Secrets, Linghai Zhiwang, and a few others, no one else could understand them.
After an unknown amount of time, the two figures finally separated.
As the dust settled, the two calmly stared at each other, separated by ten-some zhang.
Guan Bai was the same as before, without the slightest change. Chen Changsheng, on the other hand, was in a very miserable state. His Daoist robe had been cut into countless places, his face was pale, and the hand holding the Stainless Sword was faintly trembling.
Everyone could see that he had suffered significant injuries and would soon be unable to hold on, but no one would look down on him or feel disappointed because of this. This was because the fact that he had been able to hold on for so long under Guan Bai's sword was already an extraordinary feat. It could not be forgotten that although he was the next Pope, a genius that everyone had placed their hopes on, he was still a young man not even seventeen.
Countless gazes fell on Chen Changsheng's body, everyone waiting to hear him concede.
Conceding defeat was not shameful. No one could always win. Even figures like Zhou Dufu and Su Li, when they were young, they also had to experience this sort of thing.
However, in the next moment, Chen Changsheng said something that no one had expected.
He looked at Guan Bai and asked, "Could I trouble Sir to wait a little longer?"
Guan Bai's expression was very calm, because he had already expected this. He had been waiting for Chen Changsheng the entire time, had already waited for a year, so why should he care about waiting a little longer?
He sat down cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.
This was his answer to Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng looked at him and said with a sincere expression, "Thank you."
After saying this, he also sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes to meditate.
At this point in the sword battle, both sides suddenly sat down on the ground and began to meditate.
This scene was truly rather strange.
The crowd was very confused and gradually began to discuss with each other.
Many people did not understand why Chen Changsheng wanted Guan Bai to wait a little longer.
But some people faintly understood.
Linghai Zhiwang's complexion became extremely unsightly.
A gratified expression appeared on Mao Qiuyu's face.
Gou Hanshi was a little surprised at first, and then he silently smiled.
But the Elder of Heavenly Secrets creased his brow.
