Chapter 404 Nature Of Sword Qi

The competition between swordsmen had a history of more than a hundred years in Great Xia.

In the previous Swordsman Competition, although there weren't as many swordsmen as this time, the status of a swordsman was still attractive enough to those small sects or Jianghu Rangers who didn't have any sects or sects. After all, once he completed his ten-year tenure in the Sword Handling Pavilion, he would have at least one chance to go to the Dragon Hidden Temple's Scripture Collection Pavilion.

Therefore, no matter if it was the Swordsman Competition or the Dragon Gate Association, they were not unfamiliar to the Jianghu people of Great Xia. However, this year's number of cultivators was unprecedented because it only required five years of service, and because once they entered the Sword Handling Pavilion, they would have a chance to go to the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, causing all the cultivators in the world to go crazy.

Even so, no matter if it was the previous Swordsman Competition or this unprecedented grand gathering, there were still very few people who dared to challenge the Dragon-Tiger Battle.

First of all, they hadn't condensed a True Spirit. Their cultivation was mostly at or below the Heavenly Hunt Realm, so their chances of winning against a Heavenly Hunt Realm expert who had condensed a True Spirit were extremely low. Even if they were lucky enough to win, they would surely have a huge internal friction. In three days, the Dragon Gate would definitely be affected. There were too many of them, and it was difficult to say a single word. However, after hearing the conversation between Xu Han and the old man, many Jianghu people who were waiting in line couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Someone secretly said that Xu Han's courage was extraordinary, but most of them secretly laughed at him for not knowing whether to die or not.

But no matter what they think, A grand row of knife-wielding guards walked out from behind the old man. The crowd was forced to retreat, leaving Xu Han a square meter area. At that time, the auras of the guards sank and their auras formed a barrier that enveloped the area. After all, it was a Heavenly Hunt Stage competition. At that time, true essence would surge and innocence would inevitably be harmed. That was why they were so prepared.

Xu Han didn't care about this. He walked into the arena and waited for his opponent to enter the arena with a calm brow.

Zhen Yue frowned and looked at Xu Han with worry.

"It's fine, Xiao Han is powerful." Chu Chouli, who was at the side, seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said with a smile.

Zhen Yue was stunned. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Chu Chouli, only to see that this usually careless big man revealed a teasing smile towards her.

Zhen Yue's face reddened as if her mind had been exposed. She turned her head away and did not say anything else.

…

What Xu Han hadn't expected was that he had waited for a few breaths of time before the old man walked up.

Xu Han's eyes narrowed, and his voice instantly turned cold, "Dust Leaving Realm?"

"Kid, you still have some eyesight. Why are you scared?" The old man said with a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Elder Huang, I'm afraid this doesn't conform to the rules, right?" Before Xu Han could speak, the middle-aged man leading the group of guards said with a heavy brow.

The old man, known as Elder Huang, did not care. He said, "How can the dignified Palace of His Highness find a Heavenly Hunt Realm cultivator for him? This old man will suppress his cultivation realm." After saying that, the old man looked at Xu Han again. "Kid, if you're scared, leave quickly. Don't delay everyone's time."

The guard leader's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't dare to disobey the old man and retreated.

And at this moment, those Jianghu people around also smelled it. One must know, how could such a cultivator not be found in this grand palace? Furthermore, there really wasn't anything arranged by this Dragon Hidden Temple. That prince would think of all ways to find one.

This Elder Huang's excuse was truly ridiculous. The so-called suppression of cultivation was already difficult to judge. Everyone could tell that his intentions were obviously to curry favor with the Crimson Firmament Sect and deliberately make things difficult for Xu Han. However, it was irrelevant. No matter how dissatisfied these Jianghu people were, no one would stand up for Xu Han.

At that moment, everyone turned their gazes to the strange youth with a white cloth tied to his right arm, just when everyone thought that Xu Han would choose to retreat.

The youth pulled out the sword behind him with a cold expression.

He looked at the old man. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was obvious.

Elder Huang was also stunned by Xu Han's decisiveness. He had probably never thought that this youth would dare to fight after knowing his cultivation at the Mortal Realm.

However, he did not think too much. After all, Xu Han's cultivation was not at the Heavenly Hunt Realm, and he had not even condensed the embryonic form of a True Spirit. In his opinion, Xu Han had no chance of winning.

Although Xu Han's choice was beyond his expectations, it was exactly what he wanted. He could use this opportunity to show his goodwill to the Crimson Firmament Sect.

Elder Huang was not stupid, he had his own calculations in his heart.

Li Moding was also the Li Clan's prince, his master, who had run the Dragon Gate Gathering this time.

Although the Li Dynasty had a big family and was located in the eight continents of Great Xia, and was eyeing Chen Zhou State covetously, there were still some problems with him. The Cui Clan, Qiu Clan, and Jiang Clan competed for power and power in the Imperial Court. Li Yulin had slashed his vassal state several times, and in Jianghu, there were more than twenty immortals from three sects and twelve towns. Although they obeyed the imperial court's control on the surface, all of this was because of the pressure of the Long Yin Temple. But how could the Long Yin Temple really be as self-cultivating as outsiders thought?

Great Zhou had cholera in Great Zhou, and the Li Clan also had the Li Clan's troubles.

The best way for the royal family to suppress all of this was to have a few more immortals use it.

And now, this Dragon Gate would be the best opportunity.

Li Moding had a son, Called Li Dingxian, This child was exceptionally talented, This year, he was only twenty to seventy years old, and he was already a Martial Cultivator who had reached the peak of the Mortal Realm. He was the most likely person to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the entire Imperial Clan. Whether it was his father Li Moding or the current Emperor Li Yu Lin, they had high hopes for him. If he could enter the Sword Handling Pavilion and head to the Demon Suppressing Tower, it would definitely be of great help to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future. For this reason, Li Moding finally managed to obtain the qualifications to run the Dragon Gate Gathering in order to show goodwill to Long Yin Temple.

These were far from enough.

Although the Sword Handling Pavilion was supported by the Dragon Hidden Temple, it was a relatively independent existence. The current Pavilion Master, Xiao Ran , was a famous Immortal Realm Sword Cultivator in Great Xia. In his early years, he had received the favor of the Crimson Firmament Sect and had always been close to the Crimson Firmament Sect. In recent years, the Crimson Firmament Sect had grown up in Great Xia and had an inseparable relationship with this Pavilion Master.

Therefore, if Li Dingxian wanted to enter the Sword Handling Pavilion safely, the relationship between him and the Crimson Firmament Sect was extremely important.

Thinking of this, Elder Huang's gaze towards Xu Han became even colder.

Kid, don't blame this old man for being ruthless. If you want to blame him, then blame you for provoking someone you shouldn't have provoked.

At that moment, Elder Huang's body stepped out, and a violent aura surged out of his body.

His broad grey robe bulged out, his eyes narrowed, and he coldly said, "I told you three moves, don't think I'm selling it by leaning on the old man."

Before he could utter his old words, he suddenly stopped in the next moment.

Because Xu Han had already rushed forward with his sword.

The tips of his feet touched the ground, and the bluestone slabs on the ground were almost unable to withstand this force, causing them to crack one after another.

However, his speed could not be underestimated. In the blink of an eye, Xu Han arrived in front of Elder Huang. The pitch-black sword with the whistling sound of the wind rushed straight towards the old man's face.

This was a slash.

It didn't seem surprising, much less exquisite.

However, Elder Huang could smell danger from the youth's sword strike.

Splitter, Break. Splitter, split. Splitter, cut also.

The youth's sword strike undoubtedly displayed the essence of this slash.

Forward, toward death.

Elder Huang's eyes narrowed. He didn't dare to hold it up. He stretched out his hands at that time. Two mountain axes that didn't match his skinny figure suddenly appeared in his hands. He crossed them across his chest.

Boom!

A loud explosion erupted. A huge gale was lifted and surged in all directions. It was blocked by the barrier that the guards had erected long ago.

Feeling the might of this sword strike, his expression changed. He gritted his teeth and scolded, "Brat, deceive me."

In his opinion, Xu Han's actions were real. He kindly allowed him to use three moves, but Xu Han ignored them and charged straight at him. There were no Jianghu rules to speak of.

However, Xu Han, who had ignored him before, did not care about the old man's mood at this moment.

With cold eyes, he spat out a word in his mouth, "One."

As he spoke, the sword he was in a stalemate with the old man suddenly shook and a loud sword cry rose from the ground.

The violent sword intent and his body surged out. Golden sword shadows surged out from the pitch-black sword like flowing light. The moment those golden sword shadows appeared, they carried the overwhelming sword intent that engulfed the entire arena. The youth's eyes narrowed and he shouted, "Go!"

The thousands of golden sword shadows rumbled as they stabbed straight at Elder Huang's body.

Elder Huang's heart was shocked. The little bit of contempt left in his heart was completely put away by him. His eyes were wide open and he shouted loudly, "Tyrant!"

Behind him, an evil man with two axes in his hands but thirty feet tall suddenly appeared. The evil man raised his head and let out a long roar, like a lion and a tiger.

Then, the giant axe in his hand flew over, and the golden sword shadows that flew over were all reached by him. They did not injure Elder Huang, but even so, his forehead was still covered in dense sweat.

Whether it was the strength of Xu Han's sword or the golden sword shadow that he had stimulated, it gave the old man a great sense of pressure.

He didn't dare to continue confronting Xu Han like this, and his mind sank. The True Spirit behind him exerted strength together with him, wanting to knock Xu Han back with a single blow.

However, Xu Han seemed to have seen through his thoughts. Without waiting for him to make a move, he stopped and retreated straight behind him, dodging Elder Huang's long-planned attack.

"Didn't you let me do three moves?" After landing on the ground, Xu Han wasn't in a hurry to launch another attack. Instead, he asked with a smile.

Elder Huang, who knew that he was in the wrong, had an ashen expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why should I say anything to you, you cunning little fellow?"

After saying that, the old man even paused for a moment and charged straight at Xu Han.

At this moment, he and the True Spirit behind him seemed to merge into one. The two of them moved in unison. A distance of ten zhang arrived in an instant. Then, the huge axe in his hand began to speak. The evil man behind him was also like this, and then he directly slashed towards Xu Han's face.

An axe was powerful enough to cut through mountains and stones.

Seeing this, Xu Han sneered. His right hand, which was holding the sword, suddenly moved and moved the sword to his left hand. The golden sword shadows seemed to feel something as they all fled back into the pitch-black divine sword.

Afterwards, Xu Han held the sword in his left hand and faced the giant howling axe.

Another explosion rang out, and the two of them froze in place, as if neither of them could do anything to the other.

When Elder Huang saw this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He raised his other axe-wielding hand high up and slashed towards Xu Han.

From his point of view, Xu Han's sword was restrained by a huge axe. Xu Han either drew his sword back to defend or retreated to dodge. However, no matter what choice he made, the old man still had the last move to kill him.

However, what he never expected was that Xu Han would not dodge such an axe. Instead, he extended his right arm tied with white cloth and directly faced the axe.

Clang!

The axe blade collided with Xu Han's right arm, producing a golden sound.

He actually received this attack with his flesh and blood.

"Body cultivator?" The old man's expression changed, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Even if he suppressed his cultivation, If he wanted to take this axe with his flesh, No matter what, he had to be at the fifth stage of the Dragon and Elephant Realm in order to be able to do so. However, the youth was only in his early twenties at most. His Internal Strength had already reached the fifth stage of the Heavenly Hunt Realm. Even an extraordinary genius would not be able to be a normal person if his physical body had such a cultivation.

The old man's mind sank. He knew that at this point, he and the youth had already completely torn their skin apart. Rather than showing weakness, it was better to throw them into the abyss.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about any face. His true essence surged in his body, and his cultivation in the Mortal Realm was completely revealed at that moment.

The expressions of the surrounding Jianghu people also changed. They did not fight with Xu Han, so they naturally could not see the young man's foundation, but they were still not ashamed of the old man's behavior.

"This old fellow!" Seeing this, Yan Zhan's expression also changed, and he was about to make a move.

He did not know Xu Han's true strength, but in his opinion, there was no chance of winning against a Mortal Realm expert at the Heavenly Hunt Realm. Moreover, Elder Huang had broken the rules, so he naturally could not watch as Xu Han suffered a loss.

However, Xue Ning suddenly stretched out her hand and shook her head at him.

"What?" Yan Zhan was stunned, and his gaze towards the woman was somewhat puzzled. He asked softly, "What do you see?"

At that time, it was as if Xue Ning, who had always been gentle and charming, had changed into another person. Her eyes lit up with a white light, but in a flash, she said in an ice-cold and almost certain tone, "He lost."

"Huh?" Yan Zhan was stunned. Although he was puzzled by this result, he, who knew Xue Ning's abilities, still suppressed his impulse to attack. He quietly watched the changes on the field, but he didn't know that Chu Chouli had already noticed their strange movements. The middle-aged man looked at Xue Ning with a peculiar expression and quickly pretended not to notice.

At this moment, the battle on the field was still going on.

As Elder Huang displayed all of his cultivation in the Leaving Dust Realm, Xu Han's pressure suddenly increased.

Whether it was the longsword in his hand or the right arm that resisted the axe, it started to tremble slightly. Even the ground beneath his feet was cracked inch by inch because he was unable to resist such a powerful force.

Elder Huang's True Essence was still leaning out of his body. The aura of a cultivator in the Realm of Flame Dust was long, and it was far from being comparable to a Heavenly Hunt Realm cultivator.

Just as he thought that he was about to win, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Xu Han's lips.

"Since you don't follow the rules, I won't show mercy." He said in a voice that only he and the old man could hear.

Before the old man could react, the 365 acupoints in Xu Han's body started to circulate crazily. Nine streaks of True Essence Qi were absorbed and connected to the pylon. The sword seed that had already extended out its flower buds also trembled, and violent sword intent surged out of Xu Han's limbs like a tidal wave.

The sound of a sword rang out.

Like a rooster singing, it resounded in front of the lintel of the Li Clan's palace.

"The Grand Dao is complete! It can also be derived from swords!"

Xu Han said with a low voice and a dignified tone. Like a heavenly voice, he was panicking like thunder and hunting like a flag!

A streak of sword light lit up from the pitch-black sword in Xu Han's hand. A violent sword intent wrapped around it. The axe in the old man's hand was touched by the sword intent, and there were gradually traces of shattering.

Xu Han obviously did not intend to give up. Suddenly, a faint starlight lit up on his right arm. That was the power left in his body by the surveillance. Although this starlight was useless in normal days, it could strangely strengthen his physical body.

Under the starlight, the power that Xu Han's right arm could display was clearly different.

Almost at the same time, one of the old man's axes was shattered by Xu Han, while the other one was waved away by Xu Han's right arm.

The old man's expression changed when he sensed the powerful force coming from Xu Han's body. He wanted to retreat to defend himself, but it was already too late.

Xu Han, who had pushed back his opponent, held the divine sword in his hand with both of his hands. The sword light in his eyes was as bright as day.

"Heaven and Earth are profound yellow, and the sword energy is vast," said Ru Shi.

The golden sword shadow gushed out from the long sword and lined up behind him like a cold crossbow arrow until it reached the old man.

At that moment, his body suddenly moved, and his speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the old man. The sword tip pointed forward, and the thousand arrows behind him instantly condensed into one body, transforming into a sword dragon that shot straight at the old man.

The old man's heart trembled as he hurriedly summoned the True Spirit Evil Man in front of him in an attempt to defend himself.

However, the enormous True Spirit that was incomparably powerful just now shook its body after resisting several sword shadows.

Afterwards, cracks like poisonous snakes spread out from the True Spirit's body.

Bang!

With a light sound, the True Spirit's body instantly shattered like glass.

However, the golden sword shadows did not stop and continued to whistle towards the old man's face.

"Brat, you dare to kill me?" Seeing this, the old man's undead suddenly burst out and shouted in shock.

The one who answered his question was none other than Xu Han's roaring divine sword…
