"Young master, you're so amazing! Your swordsmanship is so graceful, what sword technique is it?" Mudan and others imdiately surrounded Xiaoyao, asking with admiration. Xiaoyao's status in their hearts had risen another level.
"Supre Sword Arts, this sword technique is very interesting." Xiaoyao replied. He liked Supre Sword Arts because it encompassed almost any sword technique. He could find any sword technique he wanted to use, and because of Supre Sword Arts' special nature, even if he used it, no one would think there was any problem.
"So this is Supre Sword Arts! But I've seen so people practice it before, and none of them were as graceful as young master." Qingyan looked at Xiaoyao, her admiring gaze self-evident.
"Little girl, having spring fever? It's not your turn yet." Mudan pulled Qingyan back directly, then pounced toward Xiaoyao, preparing to give him a hug and a kiss.
But she missed, there was no longer anyone at Xiaoyao's position...
"Eat, eat! Continue eating!"
Xiaoyao's voice ca from behind the won. Only then did they discover Xiaoyao had sohow already flashed away. Young master was indeed graceful!
What did this have to do with gracefulness?
...
"Ti to eat! Young master, let pour you wine..."
"I'll feed you..."
"I..."
Even though Xiaoyao had left that circle, he was quickly surrounded by a new one. These won now wanted nothing more than to devour Xiaoyao, but were frustrated that he gave them no opportunities whatsoever.
You couldn't exactly call Xiaoyao a gentleman, he wasn't particularly gentlemanly and didn't avoid suspicion at all. But he also wouldn't make any other moves, which was exactly what made these courtesans grit their teeth in frustration.
After Xiaoyao had been eating for a while, the repaired door was kicked open again...
"Kid, you're finished this ti! I've brought an expert, you're done for!" Master Wang's voice entered Xiaoyao's ears again, making him feel sowhat annoyed.
"Are you done yet!" Xiaoyao stopped eating and looked at Master Wang. This ti he had brought a very cold middle-aged uncle, but this middle-aged uncle was still trying to act cool and young, wanting people to think he was a youth in his twenties or thirties. But this was just what he wanted people to think, not what others actually thought.
"Young master, be careful. He's called Lian Shenqing, an expert here in Silver Heart City. They say he's late Emperor Level and practices the sa thing as young master, Supre Sword Arts." Soone among the courtesans imdiately revealed this middle-aged uncle's identity. After all, he was a celebrity here and had patronized Yihong Courtyard before.
"So he also practices Supre Sword Arts. That makes it easy then. Let's have a sword competition to see whose Supre Sword Arts is stronger." Xiaoyao smiled, looking at Lian Shenqing.
"Just you, a little brat, dare compete with this young master? This young master will cripple your hands today and see if you'll still dare be so arrogant." Lian Shenqing said disdainfully. He was late Emperor Level. On the way here, he had already learned about Xiaoyao's strength and knew Xiaoyao was very arrogant. Therefore, he opened by saying he would cripple Xiaoyao's hands.
"Then let's begin!" Xiaoyao drew his sword again.
"...How is your sword perfectly intact?" Master Wang looked at Xiaoyao's sword, asking sowhat puzzledly. He had clearly seen Xiaoyao's sword get damaged earlier, but now this one was completely undamaged.
"Didn't I say? I can casually forge such swords, I have several more." Xiaoyao replied.
"..."
If he really had several such swords, then this kid wasn't as simple as he'd imagined. Could what he said before be true? If it was true, then this was troubleso. He could only tell those people about the situation and let them handle it themselves.
Although he would definitely be punished this ti, it was better than being beyond salvation. If he didn't tell them, he would only have a dead end.
The reason he cared so much about Yihong Courtyard was that it wasn't actually his, he was just the apparent manager. The people behind Yihong Courtyard were very powerful, even the powerful gambling house alliance here was no match for them.
Originally, he had borrowed this opportunity to climb to a better position. Now that things had developed to this point, if he couldn't get it back, he would only fall to rock bottom and might never recover.
Because of this, no matter what price he had to pay, he had to take down Yihong Courtyard.
"Your sword is good. What's its na?" Lian Shenqing looked at the sword in Xiaoyao's hand. Its cold gleam was like autumn water, clearly a good sword.
"Na? It has no na. It's just forged as a backup, why would it need a na?" Xiaoyao replied without much care.
"No na? A backup? You're wasting this sword's life. You don't deserve such a sword, nor do you deserve to say you practice Supre Sword Arts." Lian Shenqing's face darkened. He drew his sword, then like treating his lover, continued affectionately: "My sword is called Erald Talisman Sword, forged by a famous craftsman of Tianyuan Kingdom over forty-nine days. It's a renowned treasure sword of Tianyuan Kingdom."
"Oh, my sword took two hours to forge and seems a bit better than yours." Xiaoyao replied casually.
"Seeking death," Lian Shenqing was enraged, directly attacking with his sword, creating sword shadows that covered Xiaoyao.
At this mont, only anger remained in him, because Xiaoyao had said his Erald Talisman Sword was inferior to his own sword. This was an insult to his beloved sword, making him furious to the extre. Now even without Master Wang's request, he would use full force to eliminate Xiaoyao.
Because of his anger, he also overlooked Xiaoyao's statent that the sword had only taken him two hours to forge.
Key point one: This sword was forged by Xiaoyao, which he found impossible. Though he felt Xiaoyao's sword was inferior to his Erald Talisman Sword, it was still a decent sword, impossible for soone of Xiaoyao's age to forge.
Key point two: This sword had only taken Xiaoyao two hours, which made him even more disdainful. Such a sword would take at least several days to complete, two hours was impossible.
He didn't know that when Xiaoyao said two hours, he wasn't referring to one sword but the total ti spent forging his other swords combined.
"Young master, be careful!!"
Seeing Lian Shenqing's sword shadows, the won cried out in alarm. Though Xiaoyao had shown so ability, they didn't think he could beat Lian Shenqing.
Actually, Xiaoyao himself didn't think he could beat a late Emperor Level practitioner, since he was only King Level and had just recently entered the middle stage, still very far from late Emperor Level.
However, Xiaoyao was confident he could survive under Lian Shenqing's attacks. Plus, since Lian Shenqing practiced Supre Sword Arts, with his understanding of it, he might find opportunities to break through.
"Chi!"
Xiaoyao quickly thrust several tis, each strike hitting Lian Shenqing's weak points, places he had to defend. This rapidly reduced Lian Shenqing's sword shadows as he needed to protect his vulnerabilities.
Lian Shenqing frowned. He felt Xiaoyao wasn't as easy to handle as imagined. So he imdiately changed techniques, creating a sword flower and thrusting toward Xiaoyao's heart.
Xiaoyao also created a sword flower, crossing swords with Lian Shenqing...
"Clang clang..."
The two swords clashed several tis at extre speed. At this point, Lian Shenqing sensed Xiaoyao's strength, only King Level. He could also feel that though Xiaoyao's speed was fast, it seed to lack power. Even his internal energy seed powerless, which confused him greatly.
The forr was understandable, since this kid was only King Level, having relatively less power was normal. But why would his internal energy be powerless? Initially, he thought Xiaoyao wasn't using internal energy, but if he wasn't using it, how could he withstand his own attacks?
It felt like this kid's internal energy only neutralized his own force without attacking back, which was utterly puzzling.
Never mind, the most important thing now was to deal with this kid.
Since there was no power, he'd use power to suppress him...
Lian Shenqing continued attacking, this ti increasing his force. His sword qi imdiately beca much sharper, making Xiaoyao look sowhat strained, but he could still hold on.
This made Lian Shenqing increasingly alard. The opponent was just a King Level martial artist, yet could withstand his attacks. He was already using almost full force, yet could only barely suppress him.
Observing carefully, this kid seed to completely counter his sword techniques. Every move he made, the kid seed to predict like a prophet, always attacking his weak points. This was the main reason for this result.
From this kid's moves, he seed to also practice Supre Sword Arts. Could it be that because this kid understood Supre Sword Arts, he could predict his moves? Then he'd switch to other sword techniques...
Lian Shenqing changed sword techniques. Those who practiced Supre Sword Arts didn't start with it from the beginning, many first practiced simpler techniques. The technique Lian Shenqing now switched to was what he'd practiced before Supre Sword Arts. Though not as powerful as Supre Sword Arts, it wasn't weak either. Combined with his current strength, it would definitely not be weak.
"Eh? Changed sword techniques!" Xiaoyao noticed this, but he could still find flaws in this technique. Plus, Lian Shenqing hadn't used non-Supre Sword Arts techniques for a long ti, so this technique was far less useful than Supre Sword Arts.
