Chapter 87: Weakness is a Crime

People were shocked.

The speed of that flying sword was already extremely fast; far beyond what an ordinary Divine Trove cultivator could match up to. But that was just a flying sword after all. If unleashed at full power, such a speed was reasonable too. However, now it was Chen Chao, a human being.

Immortal cultivators and martial artists were both human beings.

How could a martial artist at the Divine Trove Realm be faster than a flying sword fully activated by a Divine Trove Realm immortal cultivator?

This was impossible.

In the understanding of cultivators, this was an absolute impossibility.

Yet such a thing was happening right now.

Chen Chao exerted all his strength to run at full speed, so fast that the flying sword actually could not catch up with him for a moment. His distance from He Yi was never too far. At this moment, He Yi watched Chen Chao running towards him, but he did not have any reaction. All his attention was on that flying sword at this moment and he could not move at all.

If it were before, he could immediately abandon the flying sword and move his body. However, at this moment, he had already put all his attention on that flying sword. Disregarding whether or not he could withdraw his attention at this moment, with the current situation, he would probably suffer with a single misstep.

He was currently in a dilemma.

He Yi stood still and watched the youth in black running towards him. His complexion was pale, and he watched as the distance between them got closer and closer, while the flying sword still could not catch up to Chen Chao.

Li Heng frowned. The young eunuch was already prepared to take action. If He Yi could not stop the flying sword, the result would likely be that he would be pierced by his own flying sword. Such a death, forget about the Great Liang Dynasty, even his own sect probably did not want to see it too.

That was really the most unacceptable result.

100 feet!

50 feet!

30 feet!

Closing in on the final ten feet.

Chen Chao was already prepared to swing his broken saber. As for that flying sword, it was still a few feet away from him.

He Yi looked at Chen Chao, looking at the boorish martial artist whom he had previously thought nothing of.

"I've been cultivating since young, reading countless books on daoist techniques and books. I felt that my mind was also meticulous enough. I shouldn't have lost to you."

Although the battle was not yet over, in reality, it was already almost decided. If he wanted to concede, it was justifiable.

Chen Chao said softly, "I haven't read any books and I also don't know anything about those daoist techniques and books. I've only been killing demons these past few years."

Yes, in these few years, Chen Chao had been doing the same thing deep in the mountains of Tianqing County for the sake of his martial path future, which was killing demons.

While the daoist magics written in books on daoist techniques were precious and could make one stronger after cultivating them, it was not easy to apply them in practice. In a battle between cultivators, apart from their respective cultivation realms and mastery of daoist magics, experience and their state of mind during combat were actually the most crucial factors.

Years of experience killing demons and countless life-and-death situations had already made Chen Chao's spirit tough enough. His mental state was sufficiently strong to be able to choose the best solution in the ever-changing battle situation. Even if something unexpected happened, he would not have too much emotional fluctuations.

Among the young cultivators in the foreign lands, there were naturally many characters who could be called geniuses. But when it came to life and death situations, no one could do better than Chen Chao.

Perhaps only the best out of the young generation of the army in the northern frontier could compete with Chen Chao in this regard.

He Yi looked at Chen Chao and remained silent for a long time before saying, "You may be the most talented figure among the young people of the Great Liang Dynasty."

Chen Chao shook his head and pointed to Xie Nandu who was watching the battle from the side, saying, "I think it's her!"

He Yi looked at that young girl who had previously met him squarely in an argument at the banquet and was silent for a while before saying, "As the final disciple of the dean, she naturally has extraordinary aspects. But compared to her, I still think you are more remarkable."

Chen Chao had no famous teachers or anyone backing him up. He had always been considered a barbaric growth. So his current achievements were truly remarkable.

He Yi sighed with admiration as he said, "I have never submitted to anyone in my life, but you are the first."

Why have foreign cultivators always been so haughty towards the Great Liang Dynasty? Could they be born that way? Actually, it was not. Their indifference and disdain towards the Great Liang Dynasty actually came from this dynasty's weakness. To the common people, the Great Liang Dynasty was a behemoth. But to these immortal cultivators, it was not. If we were really talking about true powerhouses, there were many in the foreign lands. When talking about young geniuses, the young geniuses of the Great Liang Dynasty were not true geniuses in their eyes either.

They were weak, so they were being insulted.

They were weak, so they were being held in contempt.

In this world, being weak was a crime.
