The boulder that Xiaoyao had been sitting on suddenly exploded, splitting into smaller, more delicate stones. These weren't stones that had been smashed - they seed to be complete stones.
The Mid Emperor Level practitioner didn't have the mind to pay attention to this detail right now. He was still in shock - after all that effort, the person wasn't even in the place he had thought. Even if they had successfully attacked, it would have been wasted effort.
To actually be inside this boulder - even searching until the end of ti, no one would find this.
Wait, inside the boulder - why could she be inside the boulder?
Only now did he think of this matter. How did Guxing enter this boulder? This completely defied common sense and wasn't scientific at all.
Did this boulder have a hole?
At this mont, he looked toward those scattered stones, wanting to see so clues from them. But upon looking, he had even greater confusion.
These stones were actually all complete. Could it be that what ford that boulder just now was these stones?
...
That's not right - that boulder just now also seed complete, without any traces at all. What exactly was going on?
Actually, the answer was very simple. This boulder was composed of these stones, very cleverly forming a natural stone cave that surrounded Guxing. At the sa ti, Xiaoyao had done so concealing work, repairing those traces so that no one could see even the slightest sign.
This boulder was placed right on the riverbank, very obviously, making people absolutely unable to think of examining it. Besides, even if soone thought of this, they still wouldn't discover the problems within this boulder.
Who could think that soone could hide inside? This was much better than behind the waterfall.
The Mid Emperor Level practitioner looked toward Guxing. Seeing her appearance, his heart was also in turmoil. She really was only this young. If it weren't for the aura emanating from her body, he wouldn't believe even unto death that such a delicate little girl had already stepped into the Saint Level ranks.
"Kill him?"
Guxing looked at that Mid Emperor Level practitioner and flatly said three words. This made the Mid Emperor Level practitioner feel like he might wet himself - this girl was too cold, and very direct too.
He didn't know that if it weren't because Guxing wanted to hear Xiaoyao's opinion, she wouldn't even say these three words and would directly draw her sword to kill him instantly.
"Spare his life for now. I still have so questions to ask him." Xiaoyao shook his head, looking at that Mid Emperor Level practitioner. This made the Mid Emperor Level practitioner's heart relax.
Good, good - this kid was relatively more normal. Hopefully he would find him sowhat valuable and magnanimously spare his life.
The Mid Emperor Level practitioner prepared himself, waiting for Xiaoyao to ask him questions. He was already planning to speak without reservation, holding nothing back. He had already prepared the na to expose the mastermind of this incident.
What he didn't expect was that Xiaoyao didn't inquire about this matter, but asked about sothing that was common knowledge - at least, he felt this was common knowledge.
"What sword technique was that move you used just now? Did the Li family teach it to you?" Xiaoyao casually demonstrated a sword move - this was the Supre Sword Arts that the Mid Emperor Level practitioner had used earlier, also used by Li Yihun.
He felt this Mid Emperor Level practitioner might be soone from Li Yihun's Li family. Although he felt Li Yihun probably wasn't the mastermind, this sword technique should have so connection to his family.
This was his guess without knowing about the Supre Sword Arts, which was also a very normal guess.
"What Li family? This is the eleventh sword of the Supre Sword Arts." The Mid Emperor Level practitioner looked at Xiaoyao with confusion. Did this even need asking?
"Supre Sword Arts?" Xiaoyao muttered. This na was barely fitting. This sword technique was indeed the strongest he had seen. What he had created himself was considerably inferior.
After all, there were people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens. He wasn't specialized in this path, so having people stronger than him was very normal.
This was like Xiaoyao's cultivation level - not being refined in this path, so being much weaker compared to others. Also, his experience wasn't enough. The prodigy who created the Supre Sword Arts back then had studied everything related to sword arts, spending decades of ti.
Xiaoyao's progress was already quite fast, but decades of others' effort wasn't so easily surpassed.
At the sa ti, Xiaoyao also knew that the Supre Sword Arts had at least eleven moves...
"You don't know about the Supre Sword Arts?" The Mid Emperor Level practitioner was sowhat surprised. He hadn't expected that sothing everyone knew, the other party actually didn't know.
"I just ca out from the mountains and don't understand the outside world very well. Tell about this Supre Sword Arts." Xiaoyao said very casually.
The Mid Emperor Level practitioner didn't inquire about what mountain Xiaoyao ca from, but could imagine that Xiaoyao should be taught by so peerless master in an isolated environnt. Otherwise, how could he not even know about the Supre Sword Arts?
Soon, the Mid Emperor Level practitioner explained the details of the Supre Sword Arts. Everything he knew about the Supre Sword Arts, he told completely.
"..."
After listening, Xiaoyao was silent for a while. He had never thought that the Supre Sword Arts would be such an existence - known by everyone.
Known by everyone ant learnable by everyone. This way, the possibility of being seen through would be a bit higher, but it couldn't be said this greatly reduced the sword technique's power.
The sword technique was known by everyone, but each person's cultivation of this sword technique would have each person's characteristics, would have their own differences, would have different variations. Unless one could capture even these variations, otherwise even letting you know the moves would be useless.
Xiaoyao could see through them because he had already comprehended this move. At the sa ti, he also understood the opponent, which allowed him to accurately and flawlessly calculate these variations.
This was difficult for ordinary people to achieve, although it was easy for Xiaoyao!
Taking another step back, even with completely identical sword moves, different users would have different power, and naturally the difficulty of breaking them wouldn't be the sa. For example, an ordinary straight punch without any variations - but as long as it was fast enough and powerful enough, it would be impossible to resist.
Even such a straightforward move as a straight punch had this effect, let alone the Supre Sword Arts!
What made Xiaoyao feel his horizons greatly broadened was still the person who created the Supre Sword Arts. This approach was truly unexpected - it could both leave a na for eternity and benefit later generations.
"The Supre Sword Arts has twenty-three moves. I've only seen ten, there are still thirteen more..." Xiaoyao muttered, very much wanting to imdiately see these other thirteen moves. At this mont, he suddenly looked toward that Mid Emperor Level practitioner.
"This is the Supre Sword Arts manual..." That Mid Emperor Level practitioner was also very tactful, imdiately understanding Xiaoyao's thoughts and taking out the Supre Sword Arts manual from his body.
Since he cultivated the Supre Sword Arts, he naturally had a copy of the Supre Sword Arts manual. Actually, this couldn't really be called a secret manual anymore - it wasn't very valuable and was sold everywhere.
"Thanks!" Xiaoyao took the Supre Sword Arts manual and flipped through it a few tis. It should be genuine - the ten moves he had learned all matched, and the other sword techniques were equally exquisite and brilliant.
The paper and cover of this manual didn't seem very old - at most about ten years. There was even the na of a bookseller who printed this manual, confirming this was indeed a very public manual.
"No need for courtesy. This is my small token of appreciation. I wonder if you two have any other questions?" The Mid Emperor Level practitioner said very respectfully, without any appearance of claiming credit.
His life was still in the other party's hands - how dare he claim credit...
"You should have prepared for this question. Who is the person who sent you to kill us?" Xiaoyao asked casually, appearing unconcerned, as if this matter had little to do with him or wasn't very important.
"He's called..."
"You can't say that."
A beautiful and seductive voice rang out, then a figure appeared beside that Mid Emperor Level practitioner, shattering his heart ridians with one palm.
Being able to eliminate a Mid Emperor Level practitioner with one palm showed this person was very extraordinary. At the sa ti, appearing silently - neither Xiaoyao nor Guxing had discovered her beforehand, only noticing when they saw her figure.
Guxing had a chance to save that Mid Emperor Level practitioner, but she didn't do so. She naturally had to protect Xiaoyao - who knew what this person had co for?
Guxing protected Xiaoyao in front of her, very warily looking at the person who had suddenly appeared - an extrely seductive and alluring woman.
This woman she had never seen before, but Xiaoyao had - it was Heart Moon Fox who had gone and returned.
"It's you?" Xiaoyao looked at that figure and asked flatly, as if he wasn't very concerned about this change.
"Yes, it's . I just ca on a whim to see you. Originally I wanted to save you, but I didn't expect your chanical arts to be so powerful. Also, your boss here is very impressive - at such a young age, she actually broke through to Saint Level. I didn't even discover she was here earlier." Heart Moon Fox smiled, speaking very seductively.
In Heart Moon Fox's heart, she was also extrely surprised. She had just stayed beside that boulder, and with her realm, she actually couldn't sense any aura from this little girl. This was a bit too incredible.
Was this little girl good at hiding her aura, or were there special things here that sealed her aura?
It should be the latter. Otherwise, just now when this little girl broke through to Saint Level, the aura wouldn't have been just this much - it would have been much stronger. Martial artists within dozens of li could have sensed it, but just now they didn't. The range was at most about one li.
What Heart Moon Fox thought wasn't wrong. Xiaoyao had indeed set up so things within the boulder, concealing Guxing's aura, but still couldn't conceal everything. Being temporary, this was the most he could achieve.
Originally, as long as no one was nearby, it wouldn't be discovered. This was also sufficient. But he hadn't expected so many people to pass by here, and even more unexpected was that soone would co to cause trouble for him.
