"Are you aware of something?"
Noticing the change in Zhao Wanli's expression, Xue Xing quietly approached him without making a sound and whispered a question.
Zhao Wanli shivered slightly, forcing a smile on his face, "He might have found it. My master asked me to look for this thing."
"Your master?"
Xue Xing stared at Zhao Wanli in astonishment. He had already reached the second-grade position and his swordsmanship strength was among the middle and upper ranks in the nine states. It was truly rare to find someone he would willingly serve.
Xue Xing couldn't think of who could make Zhao Wanli wholeheartedly believe in and serve as his master.
As if sensing Xue Xing's confusion, Zhao Wanli quickly spoke up: "I know you're curious, but this isn't the right place to talk. We'll wait until we capture that Chen...nameless swordsman. Then I'll tell you everything, and if you'd like, I'll introduce you to our master..."
Xue Xing raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, then nodded seriously.
"Huh, regardless of what you find in that dark place, it won't stop us. If what you found is very strong, that's even better. It's just what I need."
Xu Zhen's lips curled into a smile, his eyes fixed on Chen Mo, his gaze filled with anticipation.
"How about it? If you want it, then you can take it yourself."
Chen Mo smiled and slashed his huge sword across, looking down at him with pride.
Xu Zhen's face changed, "A conceited youngling who doesn't know his place. I don't believe you have much strength left."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhen didn't hesitate and held his Ancient Relics horizontally, unleashing a burst of sword energy that rolled out from his body, creating a whirlwind that swept up the fine dust on the ground.
The sword technique of Shenshen Sect, Ancient Relics Swords, although not as powerful as the legendary Saint Tian Sword Secret that had long been lost, is one of the top sword arts in Jiuzhou.
Don't look at Xu Zhen's current reputation being not so good on the Jiuzhou continent. But several hundred years ago, he was also a formidable swordsman with a fearsome reputation, known as the Sword Ghost. All by himself, with just a sword, he once scared all the swordsmen in the world.
He once challenged the Sky Sword Master in the Central Plain, and it was said that he had a battle with the old patriarch of that Temple. Whether it's true or not is unknown, but it's enough to prove how powerful he was.
After making a name for himself in the Central Plain, where strength is abundant, Xu Zhen returned to the Saint Sword Sect, shedding his sharpness and becoming the sect's Supreme Elder. From then on, he disappeared into thin air, and in hundreds of years, he had never been seen fighting by outsiders.
To the point where his current presence is much lower than that of people like Zhao Wanli.
"I've heard that the Sword Ghost's sword techniques are comparable to gods and demons. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing it myself. Perhaps today will be our lucky day to witness it."
Zhao Wanli laughed and said.
Xue Xing looked eagerly at Xu Zhen, "May we, the younger generation, be so fortunate?"
Xu Zhen coldly laughed and said, "I see that you two are afraid of that kid's supposed opportunity. Hmph, how can people who are so timid achieve great things? Alright, today I will let you see my strength as the Sword Ghost."
Xu Zhen held his sword horizontally and pointed it at Chen Mo, smiling, "This sword of mine hasn't seen blood for many years. Today, I will use you to sharpen its edge."
"I'm looking forward to it."
Chen Mo smiled slightly, took a step back with his right foot, and raised his huge sword to his chest. His eyes fixed on Xu Zhen in front of him and whispered to him, "Xu Tian brother, the two men behind Xu Zhen are not good people. I'll leave it to you to keep an eye on them for me."
Long Fei Wu nodded slightly, "I've rested for quite some time in the secret realm, though I haven't fully recovered to my peak level, I still have enough tricks to hold off those two. Just go ahead and fight with confidence."
Chen Mo nodded silently, and Xu Zhen had already swung his sword.
One sword covered in dust
The dust lifted from the ground quickly enveloped his entire body, and in the next instant, Xu Zhen, who had been holding the Ancient Relics Sword, had completely disappeared.
Xu Zhen is known as the Sword Ghost because of his sword techniques that come and go without a trace, are quick and decisive, and resemble a ghostly apparition.
Many swordsmen in the world have fallen to his techniques.
"The move 'One Sword Enshrouded in Dust' has been executed. Next up is 'One Sword to the Dust'."
Chen Mo laughed softly and said. Just as he finished speaking, the dust-covered sword energy suddenly descended from above, a formless sword strike coming down fiercely. If it were an ordinary swordsman, they probably wouldn't have had time to react before being killed by this stroke.
Chen Mo had anticipated this. Before the sword strike landed, he leaped into action, enveloping his entire body in a mist of blood in an instant. With all his accumulated strength, he drove a powerful sword strike down from the sky.
Bang
A tremendous explosion echoed, shattering the entire mountain peak in an instant. A terrifying storm of energy erupted from Chen Mo's hands, annihilating all living beings within a radius of several miles, and scattering the dust into thin air.
Xu Zhen, who was hiding in the dust, revealed his true form in an instant.
"A sword of such incredible power"
Xu Zhen was immediately shocked. Although he had seen Chen Mo's technique in the secret realm before, seeing it again was still beyond his imagination.
However, though the sword's destructive power was strong, it did not harm him in the least. Moreover, at this moment, with Chen Mo having used up so much energy, he must be completely unguarded.
This is an excellent opportunity to kill.
But just as Xu Zhen was about to make a move, he saw a figure in red standing not far from him.
Chen Mo's eyes turned blood red, his face twisted in a fierce expression, holding a giant sword shrouded in blood mist and striking at Xu Zhen like a thunderbolt.
"No, no good..."
Xu Zhen felt a sense of danger and involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva. With a frightened step back, he tried to run, but before he could escape, he saw Chen Mo's sword strike out.
Wherever the sword struck, all life would be extinguished.
Where the sword pointed, there was nothing but emptiness.
Xu Zhen's right arm was broken, and blood spurted out like a fountain. After the Saint Sword Sect's several mountains were pierced through by the sword, even the floating clouds in the sky were inevitably pierced.
"Aah, aah..."
Xu Zhen screamed in terror, his eyes wild with anger as he stared fiercely at Chen Mo and roared, "You bastard, you bastard! You're dead, you're dead! I'll kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhen's ferocious face was filled with murderous intent. He wrapped his left hand around his broken arm and stomped on the ground with his foot, unleashing all of his accumulated spiritual energy at once.
Activate the sect defense formation
The Saint Sword Sect's protective formation envelops the entire sect territory. Within this formation, there is an extremely terrifying power at its core, which is a trace of sword will left by a sword god from ten thousand years ago.
At the time, the Saint Sword Sect had a grudge with the Heaven and Dark Sect. Li Weiuxin single-handedly attacked the sect, and with her first-grade strength, it was no exaggeration to say she could wipe out the entire sect.
However, when she faced the Saint Sword Sect's protective formation, she was stopped and even seriously injured under the sword will of that sword god.
That's why, despite the entire You State being under the control of the Heaven Silent Sect, the Saint Sword Sect can still maintain its independence and even the strongest person in You State, Li Weiuxin, dare not mess with them.
Xu Zhen was confident that once the protective formation was activated, it would take only a moment to kill Chen Mo.
However, just as he was about to stomp down for the third time, he suddenly realized his mistake and his wild eyes immediately became clearer.
The protective formation... it's ineffective...
