Chapter 436.1: The World is Full of Experts - Part 1

After exchanging blows for half a day, Liu Banbi retrieved his flying sword Embracing Cicada, and sat down with a satisfied smile, sweating profusely as he exclaimed, "That was a great fight!"

Ji Baili also took back his flying sword and approached the young sword immortal from the academy, smiling as he said, "I was lucky to win by a half-move. But you're much younger than me. In a few more years, I won't be your match anymore."

Liu Banbi had traveled a long way to the Sword Sect for a sword inquisition. Winning a match and losing one in the end was already quite good, especially considering his young age. The time he had stepped into the Nepenthe Realm was much shorter than these two sword immortals. With this result, he had already done very well.

"The Sword Sect truly lives up to its reputation, Liu Banbi is utterly convinced by my loss. It's just a pity I didn't get to see the Sect Master send out his sword."

Looking up at the Sword Sect surrounded by countless flying swords, Liu Banbi's expression was filled with respect.

Ji Baili chuckled. "Not just you, even us disciples of the Sword Sect haven't seen the Sect Master make a move in many years. Perhaps only two or three people in this world have the qualifications to make the Sect Master exert his full strength once."

Liu Banbi speculated, "Is it the Temple Master, and that old monk from the White Deer Monastery?"

Ji Baili said softly, "Now, we have to add one more: that emperor of yours."

Liu Banbi nodded and said, "When I returned south, I saw His Majesty take action with my own eyes."

Ji Baili asked curiously, "How was it?"

Liu Banbi raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "For sword immortals like us, His Majesty could fight ten with just one hand."

Upon hearing this, Ji Baili was taken aback, then immediately laughed and said, "I wouldn't believe you if you said that before, but now I have no doubts."

Liu Banbi stood up, patted his buttocks, and smiled, "Now that I'm done with the sword inquisition, I'll be returning to the Northern Frontier. If I'm fortunate enough to survive, the next time I come South, I'll come for another sword inquisition. Hopefully, one day I'll get to see the Sect Master make a move."

"Then you'll have to come a few more times, perhaps after a few years."

That was indeed a straightforward and honest statement.

Liu Banbi did not think much of it. The Sword Sect was full of hidden talents that remained in concealment. There were more than just one or two sword immortals. The true realm of the Sect Master's skills could be deduced from just a glimpse, without the need for speculation.

Ji Baili also nodded and said, "If it weren't for the rules of the Sword Sect, not allowing outsiders on the mountain, just based on Sword Immortal Liu killing demons for the human race in the Northern Frontier, you should have been invited onto the mountain for a friendly drink."

Ji Baili burst into laughter.

Afterwards, the two of them arrived at the village and appeared at the farmer's house once again. At this moment, the sky was gradually turning dark. It was already duck.

Smoke was rising from the chimney as dinner was being prepared.

"Elder Brother, I've come again."

Liu Banbi headed in and grabbed a stool with familiarity.

The man was taken aback, then immediately saw Ji Baili by Liu Banbi's side, feeling not only surprised but also deeply shocked.

Considering the previous visit where Liu Banbi went alone into the back mountain and now returning with another person, it was obvious who the other person was.

Approaching the farmer, Liu Banbi whispered a few words. The man became excited and immediately called his young son over. The child still appeared timid, looking at Liu Banbi and Ji Baili.

Ji Baili stood still, and a flying sword inexplicably landed in front of the child.

This scene left the man speechless with astonishment.

Ji Baili smiled and asked, "Can you pull it out?"

The child gazed at the flying sword in a daze, then walked forward uncontrollably and reached out to grasp the sword. The flying sword possessed intelligence, humming softly in response.

Without waiting for the child to exert force, it flew into the air on its own.

There was a hint of surprise in Ji Baili's eyes, but more so, there was joy.

Watching this scene, Liu Banbi patted the man's shoulder and chuckled, "Elder Brother, you're blessed."
