189. Two Martial Saints
Hidden Sword Sect, the world's number one swordsman, Liu Yibai, had been in seclusion for many days. The higher-ups of the Hidden Sword Sect were all anxiously waiting. They knew that Liu Yibai was in seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and become a Martial Saint. Once successful, the Hidden Sword Sect would have a Martial Saint presiding over it again. This was of utmost importance for the Hidden Sword Sect!
However, so many days had passed, and there was no sign of movement. For a time, some of the innate elders of the Hidden Sword Sect were a little restless.
"Could it be..."
Some elders were worried in their hearts. They were about to speak to the sect master.
"Boom."
Suddenly, a huge Spiritual Qi vortex appeared in the void. A terrifying pressure emanated from the mountain.
"This is..."
Everyone's expressions were shocked, but there was a hint of joy in their eyes. That direction was the mountain where Liu Yibai was. Many people knew what was going on in their hearts. They all had a bold guess, but no one said it out loud.
Time passed little by little. About four hours later, the Spiritual Qi vortex disappeared.
"Clang."
A dazzling sword light flew out from the mountain and instantly rushed to the sky. At the same time, a vast momentum swept across the entire Hidden Sword Sect!
"Whoosh."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the direction where Liu Yibai was. Then, they saw a figure. Liu Yibai!
Liu Yibai indeed appeared. He took step by step, incredibly crossing the air, walking in the void. He came to everyone's front.
Everyone was excited in their hearts. They were all martial arts masters of the Hidden Sword Sect. Naturally, they knew the significance of crossing the air and walking in the void.
"Elder Liu, have...have you taken that step?" An elder couldn't help but ask.
Liu Yibai nodded and said, "Yes, I have successfully built the foundation and stepped into the realm of Martial Saint!"
Liu Yibai's words made everyone in the Hidden Sword Sect incredibly excited.
The Hidden Sword Sect had a history of over a thousand years. It's not because they had many martial artists neither their swordsmanship was exquisite, but because of the Martial Saints!
Liu Yibai frowned. He wanted to say something more. Suddenly, a disciple of the Hidden Sword Sect flew to the front of the crowd.
"Report! The Martial Saint of Nine Profound Sect, Lin Fei, in one day, successively wiped out the Fairy Crane Sect and the Water Moon Sect, two major immortal sects! The two major immortal sects' lineage was severed, and all members of the immortal sects were slaughtered to the last man!"
As soon as the disciple's words fell, the elders, the sect master of the Hidden Sword Sect, and even Liu Yibai were all shocked. Deep inside, they were stirred with shock and horror.
Lin Fei's cutting down of the Foundation Establishment True Person, although shocking enough, some Martial Saints had done it before. However, destroying two major immortal sects and severing their lineages was truly too shocking! After all, those immortal sects' mountain-protecting formations were not so easy to break through.
As soon as Liu Yibai heard, he understood the gap between him and Lin Fei. So, Liu Yibai sighed deeply and said with a bitter smile, "I originally thought that after I became a Martial Saint, I could compete with Lin Fei. But now it seems, not only is the gap not closing, but it seems to be getting bigger and bigger..."
Liu Yibai knew very well. A martial artist like Lin Fei, with his unparalleled talent, once surpassed, would be too difficult for Liu Yibai to catch up again.
"However, slaughtering two major immortal sects, this is no small matter. Especially in the current situation, those ancient immortal sects will not sit idly by. Our Hidden Sword Sect is also a major martial arts sect, we can't just stand by. Perhaps, I'll have to draw my sword this time. Hiding the sword for thirty years, today I show it to you. Hahaha, I'm off..."
Liu Yibai, one man, one sword, laughing heartily as he flew out of the Hidden Sword Sect, heading straight for the Nine Profound Sect.
...
"Boom."
In a deserted mountain, in the void, a huge Spiritual Qi vortex suddenly appeared. A massive amount of heaven and earth Spiritual Qi poured down. Several hours later, a long howl sounded from the deserted mountain.
"Hahaha, I have succeeded in building my foundation, today I finally become a Martial Saint!"
Following this, a heaven-reaching and earth-piercing saber light, emitting unparalleled dominance and sharpness, instantly erupted from the desolate mountain, breaking through the void. Even the Spiritual Qi vortex in the sky was instantly split apart by this saber light.
Shen Lianxin, step by step, traversed the air, walking in the void.
Martial Saint!
Shen Lianxin had also finally achieved Martial Saint!
"Brother Lin, I have finally not lagged too far behind you. I wonder, whose saber is sharper now? Or even, who is the real Number One Saber Under Heaven?"
A glint flashed in Shen Lianxin's eyes. In literature, there is no first place, but in martial arts, there is no second place! He was also a saber practitioner. His heart was also very proud. In the beginning, he lost to Lin Fei. And now, he had finally become a Martial Saint. Naturally, Shen Lianxin also wanted to try whose saber was the real Number One Saber Under Heaven.
"Swoosh."
In the next moment, Shen Lianxin did not want to delay even for a moment. Stepping the void, he headed toward the direction of the Nine Profound Sect.
