Martial Cultivator

"I originally thought that I could defeat you without resorting to such methods. But it seems that I was wrong."

He Yi looked at the youth in black in front of him and the broken saber in his hand. His expression became somewhat serious. He was a genius on the Latent Dragon List, how could he have imagined that he would have to resort to using this trump card to deal with a martial artist like Chen Chao.

Recalling his flying swords, those palm-length flying swords were currently hovering quietly in front of him, brimming with sharpness.

He Yi said a deep voice, "I have been secretly practicing this sword technique for years, and have never used it in front of anyone. I originally thought that the world would only see it at the Myriad Willow Convention, and I would achieve instant fame at that time. Even if I can't win first place, I'd still have excellent results."

"Who gave you the confidence?"

Hearing this, Chen Chao lowered his head to look at his black clothes. At this moment, there were already several cuts. His body that was hidden behind the clothes was covered in blood.

He Yi said as a matter of course, "I have been cultivating bitterly for many years, I naturally have confidence."

The so-called dao sword was naturally extremely powerful, and he did not use his full strength to deal with it. He naturally found it troublesome at this moment too, "I heard that among the foreign cultivators, sword cultivators have the strongest killing power. Your dao sword doesn't seem to be a sword cultivation technique?"

He Yi replied calmly, "I'm not a sword cultivator. This is nothing more than a daoist magic that imitates a sword cultivator's flying sword. If you really compare it to a sword cultivator, there is a huge difference in killing power too."

"I originally thought you killed Guo Xi and those qi refiners by luck. Looking at it now, you should actually be on the Latent Dragon List. Turns out that the Great Liang Dynasty have young heroes too."

Looking at Chen Chao, the disdainful look in He Yi's eyes gradually faded, replaced with a sense of seriousness and appreciation.

Chen Chao took a moment to adjust his breathing and smiled, "There's no need for so much crap either, we haven't finished fighting."

He Yi nodded his head. Lifting his daoist robe, several flying swords sped towards Chen Chao again.

The battle resumed.

This time, He Yi was already serious enough and no longer showed any contempt. Furthermore, he had already used his trump card. It was clear that he would be much harder to deal with than before.

What followed was a bitter battle.

He just glanced at Xie Nandu.

Many people noticed his action and naturally thought of many things. When Chen Chao first entered the Virtuous Sun Palace, he behaved very tough. Many people guessed that it was related to the girl.

Although that young girl was not an ordinary person, why are you caring so much about her when you're in so much danger right now?

Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao very quietly. Ever since walking out of the Virtuous Sun Palace, she had not said a word. At this moment, she still did not speak.

Chen Chao smiled. He did not hear the other party speak, but he sensed her emotions.

Hence, he gripped the broken saber in his hand tightly and faced the flying swords in front of him.

Although He Yi's dao swords was not a real sword cultivation technique, they were still real daoist magic. Since it was daoist magic, he would naturally be accomplished with high proficiency. In other words, although these techniques did not have the killing power of sword cultivators, they made up for it in other areas.

His mind stirred slightly, but those flying swords did not stab over in an unreasonable way as before, but hovered in mid-air. Then, He Yi set up a sword formation, and the murderous intent was even more evident, making it even more dangerous.

Chen Chao quietly grasped the broken saber and did not take the initiative to attack, but watched quietly.

After a moment, one of the flying swords suddenly erupted with sword light and shot towards Chen Chao.

The speed of the flying sword was so fast that no one could prepare for it. The young people present only saw a flash of sword light passing by, that was it.

That sword was very fast when it shot out, but it was not the fastest speed. It only reached the greatest speed when it was about to approach Chen Chao.

It was much faster than before.

This was He Yi going all out, there was no more probing, so Chen Chao frowned.

It was very hard for him to knock down the flying sword like before.

The sword body was inscribed with daoist runes. At this moment, Chen Chao's divine sense was unable to lock onto it. Since it was difficult to lock onto it, then it was naturally challenging to hit it with his saber too.

While Chen Chao was pondering, another flying sword likewise flew over, followed by the third, fourth...

Those flying swords came towards him in a very orderly manner, each one extremely fast. Chen Chao could only see a few afterimages, which were the traces left behind by the flying swords in the air because they were too fast.

He felt like the sky suddenly caught on fire.

But it was actually just an illusion.

Chen Chao furrowed his brows.

A flying sword had already sliced across Chen Chao's chest at some point, the blade slicing apart his black shirt and exposing large areas of his skin. It left behind a wound on his body.

Chen Chao failed to react. Just as he had thought earlier, the speed of these flying swords was too fast.

In just a moment, a series of carving sounds rang out as one flying sword after another landed on Chen Chao's body. They were so fast that they were barely detectable when speeding by, so everyone could only see were numerous cuts appear on Chen Chao's clothes. As the cuts grew increasingly more, more of Chen Chao's skin was exposed and there was more and more blood.

Apart from these wounds that newly appeared, there were still many scars and injuries all over his body; densely packed and innumerable.

Looking at those scars, Xie Nandu frowned.

"At this rate, you'll lose."

He Yi looked at him. This young daoist stared at Chen Chao, but his mind was on those flying swords.

Chen Chao dodged an extremely sharp sword with a tilt of his head and said calmly, "Of course I know. But to deal with these flying swords, don't I have to deal with you first?"

"You shouldn't be able to move right now, no?"

Chen Chao looked up and said thoughtfully.

At this moment, He Yi needed to use his mind to control those flying swords, so he naturally could not distract himself to do other things. Hence, he could not retreat further unless he gave up on controlling those flying swords.

He Yi nodded, but then immediately said, "If you arrive in front of me, I naturally can't do anything. But how will you get to me? By relying on your previous method, using your body to resist these flying swords?" "You're aware of the sharpness of these flying swords. They aren't what your body can withstand."

The flying swords had already left several wounds on Chen Chao's body before. If Chen Chao still could not find a way to deal with them, then more wounds would appear on his body. No matter how tiny the wound, as long as there were enough of them, it could make a large body fall too. No matter how much blood there was, there would come a day when it would run out.

He might not die here, but defeat was inevitable.

Chen Chao looked at He Yi and said, "I'm thinking if you've run out of other methods besides this one?"

He Yi smiled and said, "I've been cultivating since young and I know several kinds of daoist magics. It's just that other than the dao sword, other daoist magics won't be as powerful."

Chen Chao sighed and said, "You suddenly became so straightforward, it makes me very uncomfortable."

"Maybe what I said was false."

He Yi's voice suddenly became cold. The flying swords returned and shot out once more, with even greater power and speed this time.

Chen Chao looked up and did not say anything.

The first flying sword arrived in front of him again, just as fast and hard to track. This time, Chen Chao finally reacted. He took a few steps back and the flying sword swept past him, which then left behind a white mark in midair.

Seeing this scene, He Yi's expression changed slightly.

Then, two swords were unleashed together, one after the other. One was on the left and the other behind, cutting off all of Chen Chao's escape routes.

Although He Yi did not know how Chen Chao determined the trajectory of that previous sword, with the two swords attacking simultaneously now, Chen Chao stood no chance.

Two flying swords, one from the left and one from behind, blocked all of Chen Chao's retreat paths. His only way of dealing with them was to find the trajectory of the two swords and knocking them down. Apart from this, there was no other way.

However, after the two swords shot towards Chen Chao, what happened next made everyone widen their eyes.

Chen Chao did not find the trajectory of the two swords. He simply laid down and rolled on the ground, dodging the attacks of the two flying swords.

The plaza was very quiet.

Really very quiet.

People were shocked.

Shocked by Chen Chao's... shamelessness.
