A greeting was heard.
Yan Chuan looked up and recognized the person, imdiately smiling, he replied, "It is indeed Yan."
It really was him!
Xu Yue felt bitter inside, but showed no expression and spoke aloud again, "Xu Yue of the Purple Beard Sect, here with Zhang Kui, Chen Yi, and Zuo Shii to seek instruction!"
"Palace Master Yan, let go!"
Wang Ge volunteered.
Fu Yunzhan also stepped forward, his resentnt overwhelming and difficult to bear.
Yan Chuan waved his hand, "Brother Fu has a grudge with the Purple Beard Sect, it’s not good to expose it, so don’t take action this ti."
Then, he said to Wang Ge, "Xu Yue is leading, this is the ’Purple Beard Four Talents.’ Xu Yue alone is already ranked ninety-seventh on the ’Chufeng List’ as a Heavenly Pride, and together with three others forming the ’Longwo Sword Formation,’ their power more than doubles, you are not their opponent."
However—
The ’Chufeng List’ records that this ’Longwo Sword Formation’ is based on the ’Four-direction Longwo Sword,’ which primarily trains sword wielding, movent technique, stepping technique, force application, and speed. The ’Longwo Sword Formation’ is an extraordinary array that further brings out the strength cultivated by the ’Longwo Sword’ to the fullest, and even beyond.
"I will enter the formation myself."
"You watch from the outside, learn well, and it will certainly help you in your future cultivation and mastery of the thirteen types of inner strength within you."
Yan Chuan dismissed the two, and with large strides, he approached the arena, looking at Xu Yue and the others, responding loudly, "I’ve long heard of the ’Thousand chanism Sword’ fa, today I will witness the renowned ’Longwo Sword Formation’!"
The great battle!
Begins again!
...
Circumventing the arena.
Only then did the Purple Beard Sect truly see Yan Chuan, only to see this ’Innate Master’ wearing a blue robe, scholar’s hat on his head, holding a treasure sword in his hand, truly elegant and genial, not showing the slightest recklessness of setting up the arena and storming the mountain.
It made people involuntarily think of their Junior Sect Leader—
Equally elegant in appearance.
Probably also equally domineering inside.
Upon seeing Yan Chuan, Xu Yue cupped her fists and bowed with full etiquette, "A guest is a guest, please first."
"Very well."
Yan Chuan was unceremonious.
With a clang, the sharp sword unsheathed, and his entire being shot out like an arrow leaving the bowstring, rushing straight towards Xu Yue.
"What fast movent technique!"
Xu Yue was startled, but not panicked, she focused intently, flicked her longsword, and sword flowers blossod.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In an instant, in a mont’s face-off.
The two dismantled thirty-two moves in the blink of an eye, you attack, I dismantle; you dismantle, I attack.
"Thousand chanism Sword!"
"A thousand calculations, well-deserved reputation!"
Yan Chuan brushed past Xu Yue, praising her as he passed. On the ’Chufeng List,’ Xu Yue’s title was ’Thousand chanism Sword,’ referring to her exquisite swordsmanship, often able to anticipate the enemy’s moves, almost calculating a thousand changes, hence called ’Thousand chanism.’
Just now, during the sword duel, Yan Chuan truly witnessed it.
Different from ’Dai Sect’!
Different from ’Dugu Nine Swords’!
A completely different path of calculations, yet able to counter moves and anticipate the enemy, blocking and dismantling all thirty-one of his sword attacks.
This is certainly worthy of praise!
This is the most skilled swordsman Yan Chuan has seen besides himself so far.
However—
"I—"
Xu Yue originally thought she defended well and broke wonderfully, but on recalling the scenes of swordplay just now in her mind, she suddenly realized: "Yan Chuan attacked with thirty-two swords, but I only dismantled thirty-one moves!"
Then!
There’s still one move!
Where is the last sword?!
Xu Yue had yet to react.
Beside her.
Zuo Shii pointed at her neck and exclaid, "Senior Sister!"
"Uh—"
Only then did Xu Yue feel a slight chill on her neck, she reached out to touch it, and her hand felt sticky.
It was blood!
"Gulp!"
Startled, Xu Yue swallowed, her back instantly drenched in sweat.
Not much blood!
The wound on her neck was just a thin line, not deep.
But Xu Yue knew very well: "To control the sword edge to such precision, so finely, so skillfully, Yan Chuan’s swordsmanship prowess exceeds mine by far!"
Xu Yue was shocked and felt a lingering fear.
Gathering her composure, she quickly cupped her fists to Yan Chuan, "Thank you, Sir, for sparing my life!"
At this, all the disciples of the Purple Beard Sect knew, and they all saw, with just one face-off, the ninety-seventh rank on the ’Chufeng List,’ their own Purple Beard Sect’s leader of the ’Purple Beard Four Talents,’ Senior Sister Xu Yue, almost got killed by Yan Chuan!
One is ranked eighty-first on the ’Hidden Dragon List’!
One is ranked ninety-seventh on the ’Chufeng List’!
"Is the difference between ninety-seven and eighty-one too great?"
"Or is the ’Chufeng List’ much inferior to the ’Hidden Dragon List’?"
Hard to say!
However, the gap between Xu Yue and Yan Chuan is incredibly vast, it’s absurd, unbelievable!
Yin Ye had been watching from start to finish, he had seen it, also shocked, asking himself, in his case, he would never have beaten Xu Yue so quickly.
Xu Yue practiced the ’Four-direction Longwo Sword’ and the ’Thousand chanism Sword Technique,’ calculating heaven and earth, calculating everything, even Yin Ye could only claim so chance of victory beyond at least three hundred rounds.
But Yan Chuan!
One face-off!
Thirty-two swords!
This, this, this, unbelievable!
It’s unimaginable how strong Yan Chuan, who could nearly kill Xu Yue in an instant, really is!
"No, no, no!"
"It’s not right! It’s not right!"
Yin Ye pondered repeatedly, recalling the thirty-two sword exchanges between Yan Chuan and Xu Yue earlier, finally realizing: "Almost got deceived by him! Yan Chuan isn’t that terrifying at all."
In the arena.
Xu Yue, shocked and after feeling the lingering fear, also realized: "I was calculating your sword moves, but you were also calculating mine?"
"Exactly."
Yan Chuan nodded, a smile playing at his lips, "In terms of strategy, in my entire life, I’ve been no weaker than anyone."
Sword technique strategy?
He first had ’Dai Sect,’ which was already on par with the Purple Beard Sect’s top ten skills’ ’Thousand chanism Sword Technique,’ not to ntion, he also had the stronger ’Dugu Nine Swords,’ among which ’Break Sword Style’ could break all sword techniques in the world.
