Shang Xin smiled helplessly. "I've made a fool of myself in front of everyone! Senior Brother didn't comment on the sect's instructions. He heard but didn't listen. He heard but didn't follow … He said that this was meddling in other people's business … "
Everyone laughed. They could understand. When a cultivator had his own achievements, he would actually dislike some of the sect's arrangements. To put it simply, if the sect's arrangements didn't match his Dao heart, he would have to make a choice!
Burning Firewood thought highly of himself. He definitely wouldn't be willing to join their joint operation. It would be an insult to his own strength! Every ambitious cultivator would have such a thought, and this included them!
If their opponent was someone else and not Bing Tanghulu who had proven her strength, they would have the same thought. Why should we join forces to deal with you? Do you deserve this treatment?
Therefore, there would definitely be people who didn't follow the sect's wishes and would rather act alone. Burning Firewood was like that, and so was Zhen Danzi. This was the privilege of geniuses. Even the sect wasn't willing to force them!
They also had such a privilege, but it depended on the opponent. When the opponent was strong and couldn't be underestimated, the so-called state of mind and the so-called privilege were actually meaningless. For example, they were sitting here today. In fact, they were silently admitting that their strength wasn't enough to defeat the arrogant Swordsman.
Actually, Shang Xin also didn't want to participate in this kind of alliance. He was ranked sixth, and naturally had his own pride. However, his Senior Martial Brother Burning Incense was willful in the first place, and he, Shang Xin, could only bear the burden without complaint. He couldn't possibly not come for a cultivator with a high ranking, right?
Who asked him to be less famous than Senior Brother, and his strength was also suppressed? It couldn't be helped!
To be able to ignore the sect's wishes and make one's own decisions, one needed to have a strong heart as support! This was the freedom that the sects in the Cultivation World had to give their cultivators!
If there were people who chose to join forces, there would definitely be people who chose to act alone. Their goals were the same, but their methods were different.
Shang Xin went straight to the point. "Our plan is that on this day one year from now, all of you, the Three Pure Ones from Erhai, and some Dharma cultivators from the Western Regions will challenge the Sword Stabber at the Fish Leaping Cliff. We will challenge him once a day without giving him any time to rest!
This is the agreed rhythm, and it won't be influenced by the result of the battle. So, it will be decided by me and the leading Senior Brother of the Three Purities Temple. I hope that you won't refuse when the time comes. Our consideration is only from the perspective of actual combat. There's no difference between the better and the better. I hope that you can understand! "
It was an organized attack, not a group attack! Under the watchful eyes of so many people, even the two of them would be ridiculed. The pride of cultivators would not allow them to do so!
Only within the scope of the one-on-one duel, and within the permitted frequency, could he overwhelm the opponent with his sword!
Cultivators' battles were very fast, especially Foundation Establishment cultivators. It was basically impossible for them to fight for a whole day. Moreover, there was a Swordsman who was famous for his speed!
Sufficient time had to be reserved for the recovery of Dharma power. If they only relied on Dharma power to exhaust the Sword Stabber, such a victory would be meaningless. On the contrary, it would be shameful!
They were grinding the opponent's spirit! It wasn't to wither the Swordsman's spirit, but to make him break down in frequent battles! It was more like destroying the opponent's willpower!
Such a strategy had been tested in the Fish Leaping Cliff in the past. Very few cultivators could persevere in such frequent battles, completely different fighting styles, and all kinds of changes in Dharma power!
To cultivators, they would conserve their energy, cultivate their aura, and brew their emotions before a battle so that they could bring out their greatest potential in battle. This was a normal method of life and death battles. It allowed cultivators to maintain the greatest concentration and sharpest senses in battle. When battle became a common occurrence and became a daily routine, there would inevitably be a certain degree of dullness, recklessness, and relying on experience to act …
This was the goal of an organized sniper attack! They wouldn't give the Swordsman a chance to completely adjust his mentality!
Shang Xin took out a jade slip and placed it on the table. "From the day the Swordsman stabbed his sword into the ground, all of our Dharma branches in the Western Regions began to investigate everything about him. As he became more and more stable in the Fish Leaping Cliff, we also invested more and more forces. It can be said that at the Foundation Establishment level, our spies are still very capable of spying.
After five to six years, everything big and small about the Swordsman was basically under our control. The only thing missing was his changes in the Peacock Plume in the past fifty years …
Everyone, take a look. You can also know yourself and your enemy! "
Everyone looked at the jade slip one by one. The contents were very detailed. It was so detailed that it included what sword techniques this person had chosen from the Boao Tower? How many flying swords did he have? The entire Dharma system? His battle habits? It even included his performance in the internal and external battles in Xuanyuan. There was a lot of information, big and small!
Sandu was very surprised. "Three flying swords gave birth to sword spirits sixty years ago? What kind of freak is this? I was wondering how this person was able to suppress the internal sword in Xuanyuan. This is something that has never happened in Xuanyuan for tens of thousands of years!
But now that fifty to sixty years have passed, it's impossible for this person to only have three sword spirits. Another one must have been born. I estimate that it should be around five or six? "
Yan Fa nodded. "Yes, Junior Brother's judgment is correct. In the past six years in Fish Leaping Cliff, he has used a total of five flying swords! Each of them should have a sword spirit. We can't rule out the possibility that he has a sixth sword spirit! "
Everyone was surprised and couldn't help but carefully calculate their chances of winning against this person in the future. To be honest, it was very difficult!
Another cultivator said, "The Big Dipper Star Scripture? This person's Dharma technique is actually the Star System of our orthodox Daoism? This is difficult. The Star System is considered a top-notch Dharma technique in our Daoism. There are very few that can stand shoulder to shoulder with it …
But Senior Brother Shang Xin, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with the Star System, right? From what I remember, your sect seems to have a technique that specifically targets Star System techniques. Why don't you invite a Senior Brother who is proficient in this technique? I'm sure you'll be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort! "
Shang Xin smiled and didn't hide anything. "When it comes to the Star System, among all the Dharma lineages in the Five Rings, the Three Pure Ones are actually the ones that target it the most! Hehe, I, Wushang, am proficient in the Star System, but the Three Pure Ones are diligently practicing the Star System. Why do you think this is? "
Everyone laughed. This was an unavoidable scheming within the Dharma lineage. Just like how the Three Pure Ones diligently practiced the Star System, Wushang was also pondering over how to deal with the One Qi Into Three Pure Ones!
If this Swordsman didn't practice the Star System technique, but one of the Three Pure Ones' basic techniques, then his best opponent would undoubtedly be Wushang!
Targeting was omnipresent. If he didn't do this, how could he have survived for ten thousand years in this cruel Cultivation World?
