Chapter 1075: Chapter 408: Everything Under Heaven Can Be a Blade
Chu Xisheng pondered upon hearing the words: “In that case, Brother Fang, maybe you can make a big profit this time?”
“Oh?”
Fang Bu Yuan mused that Chu Xisheng was quite confident! Yet, he still asked with a smile, “What makes you say that, junior brother?”
“I’ve only heard that this person has practiced the Unyielding Great Method and Swallowing Sky Endless Blade, but I’ve never actually seen Wan Jiansheng’s sword skill, nor do I know if he has any hidden skills. So I dare not say I have total assurance, but—”
Chu Xisheng raised an eyebrow slightly: “I recently realized a principle that everything in the universe can be a blade!”
He had actually understood this principle long ago, but how to specifically apply it, Chu Xisheng was still unsure.
It wasn’t until a few days ago, when he delved into the ‘Divine Intent Blade Heart’, that Chu Xisheng suddenly saw the light and comprehended it.
Zong Sanping couldn’t stand it any longer and solemnly reminded, “This Wan Jiansheng is indeed arrogant, but if he can sweep across the Qingyun General List and compete with Earthly List Martial Cultivators, it shows he does have some skill in the Sword Tao. Even though you have the Eternal Wall for protection, junior brother, you must still be extra cautious.”
He estimated that God Demon Saber Lord Wan Jiansheng absolutely could not break through Chu Xisheng’s ‘Eternal Wall’.
—That was something even Sword Qi Xiao Xin Cang Hai Stone could not overcome.
However, in Martial Arts combat, the biggest taboo is carelessness, where the lion fights the rabbit with all its strength.
Chu Xisheng solemnly said, “I understand. In this battle, I will give my all.”
He didn’t continue to speak, as Wan Jiansheng’s voice came up again from below.
“Infinite Blade Lord Chu Xisheng, please show yourself! I, Wan, ask if you dare to fight me?”
Chu Xisheng could tell that this person’s tone was becoming increasingly impatient. He shook his head, continued tunneling through the void downwards, and headed straight for the mountain gate.
Jian Cangfeng, at this moment, looked at his back thoughtfully.
“Everything in the universe can be a blade?”
After a slight contemplation, Jian Cangfeng turned his head and walked towards the mountain top.
“Cangfeng, where are you going? It’s about to start a fight.” Hermit Sanchi, Ren Xiaowo, asked puzzledly, “You’re not interested in the current top-tier Heavenly Pride battle?”
“I’m going to change my bet!”
Jian Cangfeng did not even turn his head, hastily tunneling through the light: “If Chu Xisheng truly mastered this dharma gate, then Wan Jiansheng may not even be qualified to make him draw his blade.”
He had previously been optimistic about Chu Xisheng, but not as much as now.
Ren Xiaowo was stunned upon hearing this and exchanged looks with a few people around him.
※※※※
When Chu Xisheng landed in front of the mountain gate, many people had already gathered there.
However, the total number of people and the momentum was far less than the time when Purple Eyebrow Heavenly Monarch Shui Ruge came.
The situation was also different. Previously, Shui Ruge challenged by coming to the mountain and waited for many days, drawing many Jianghu Martial Artists.
This time, God Demon Saber Lord Wan Jiansheng came more urgently, and Chu Xisheng directly accepted the challenge, not letting him wait.
However, the quality of these people present was quite high.
Chu Xisheng found that aside from his mountain, most of the Jianghu people who came, had cultivation levels above Fifth Grade.
Among them were Fourth Grade, Third Grade, and even Earthly List experts.
These top experts on the Earthly List were also interested in their confrontation.
After Chu Xisheng let the sword boat down, he concentrated and examined the young man opposite him.
God Demon Saber Lord Wan Jiansheng was about seventeen years old, tall, with a head of flowing silver-white hair, deep-set eyes, a high nose, and sharp features as if cut by a knife and chisel.
His appearance was exactly the same as the portrait in the previous edition of the ‘Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’.
His demeanor wasn’t as arrogant as Chu Xisheng had imagined. His expression was calm; even upon seeing Chu Xisheng, his gaze showed no fluctuation.
But Chu Xisheng could tell with just one look that this was a person who was proud to his bones.
The reason his expression didn’t change was that he truly did not regard Chu Xisheng in his heart.
Indifferent, hence no ripple.
Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but laugh softly, leaping down from the sword boat.
The elegant and free manner made many female martial artists around either exclaim softly or become entranced.
“Your patience is really poor.”
Chu Xisheng lightly flicked his sleeves, letting the sword boat transform back into the sword-box shape: “Didn’t the Divine Blade Sect teach you the rules and etiquette of the Jianghu?”
Wan Jiansheng’s eyes squinted slightly, a hint of dangerous gleam emerging.
Then he rested his long saber in front of him: “It was you who delayed too long! I almost thought you didn’t dare to accept the challenge. Now that you’ve come, let’s get started, no more talking.”
The words insulted the Divine Blade Sect, but Wan Jiansheng couldn’t be bothered to argue.
The best way to retaliate was to defeat him simply and decisively.
“As you wish!”
Chu Xisheng was even more straightforward, directly flipping a copper coin into the air.
“In this battle between us, there’s no need for someone to oversee. The moment this copper coin falls, we can strike!”
“Actually, I could let you have three moves first.”
Wan Jiansheng sneered, his lips curling into a mocking grin: “To be clear, in this battle, I will fight with all my strength and will not hold back. Regardless of life or death, let fate decide.”
“Good!”
Chu Xisheng thought this guy was indeed very arrogant, daring to say such words in front of the Formless Divine Sect’s mountain gate.
Yet, he agreed without hesitation, then curiously asked back, “While this copper coin hasn’t yet landed, may I ask you something? You’re clearly someone who practices the blade, so why name yourself Wan Jiansheng?”
Wan Jiansheng merely let out a cold laugh, without saying a word.
For what reason could it be, naturally, it’s the name given by his parents.
He had been keeping his eye on that copper coin.
The copper coin rose five zhang into the air, and by this point, its momentum was exhausted and was rapidly falling.
