Chapter 248 Blade King Chen He [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!]

"My name is Shangguan Zhengyang, and I am now a high-level War God!"

The moment Shangguan Zhengyang stepped onto the stage, his aura was completely different from the others.

Holding a long crimson spear, he exuded a remarkably composed aura.

But beneath its composure lies a hint of sharpness and restlessness.

It was as hot as that crimson spear.

He looked at Xu Feng and said calmly, "I've heard that you are also a mentalist. You can use your full strength so that no one will say I'm bullying you."

Xu Feng glanced at him: "Oh?"

That look in his eyes seemed to be questioning.

Shangguan Zhengyang noticed Xu Feng's gaze and immediately explained calmly, "I'm different from them."

Upon hearing this, the guards below remained expressionless, some even showing anticipation.

Clearly, he wasn't lying.

however--

“I think they’re all the same,” Xu Feng said calmly. “I hope you can be as different as you say.”

After saying that, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Shangguan Zhengyang's expression instantly hardened, and he immediately took a step forward.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the moon with his spear and pulled it out in a reverse thrust!

laugh!
The spear pierced the air and also penetrated Xu Feng's figure.

The crowd below gasped in unison, clearly excited.

Instant kill!

However, Lu Fei and Di Ruyan in the stands remained quite calm.

Di Ruyan raised an eyebrow, but Lu Fei didn't even change her expression, as if she had expected this all along.

Simultaneously.

Shangguan Zhengyang's expression also changed slightly.

He could feel it clearly.

This shot.

empty!

Swish!
The battle blade was as fierce as a whirlwind, and countless gusts of wind suddenly slashed out from all directions from Shangguan Zhengyang.

at the same time.

Five more figures of Xu Feng suddenly appeared on the field.

"what!"

"Holy crap, that movement technique!"

The audience immediately gasped in surprise.

However, Shangguan Zhengyang was indeed different from the others.

He reacted extremely quickly.

He immediately lay down face down, and then with a sudden twist, he was flipped over and spun up.

He then suddenly swung his spear in a circle!
If it were an ordinary martial artist, that attack would have been instantly neutralized by this counterattack.

But Xu Feng was no ordinary martial artist.

Suddenly, his horizontal slashing sword pressed down sharply, completely ignoring the sweeping spear, and he slashed first at Shangguan Zhengyang on the ground.

It looks like they're trying to outrun each other and see who's faster and more ruthless!

But how can a spear's backswing and sweeping motion compare to a sword's direct downward strike?

Just a moment!

Shangguan Zhengyang made the same judgment.

So he simply rolled awkwardly, dodging Xu Feng's knife and simultaneously canceling the attack.

But Xu Feng's attacks are not so easy to dodge.

The subtleties of Baguazhang combined with Xunfeng Blade are beyond the comprehension of ordinary martial artists!
Xu Feng moved with lightning speed, and before the five afterimages had even dissipated, he had already pressed forward again.

The sword in his hand gleamed with a cold light, and each swing brought a sharp whistling sound, as if it could cut through the air.

After Shangguan Zhengyang tumbled around in a disheveled manner, he had barely regained his footing when he felt a strong sense of crisis rushing towards him.

He dared not be negligent in the slightest, and swiftly wielded the crimson spear in his hand.

Like a blazing sun, it tried to withstand Xu Feng's storm-like attacks.

"Clang clang clang!"

The swords and spears clashed repeatedly, producing a series of crisp metallic clangs.

Sparks flew everywhere, like a dazzling fireworks display.

However, behind this seemingly beautiful facade lies endless danger.

Shangguan Zhengyang was secretly shocked.

He hadn't expected Xu Feng's movement and swordsmanship to be so exquisite.

Unable to mount an effective counterattack in a short period of time, he could only dodge in a sorry state.

He knew that continuing like this would be extremely detrimental to him, and he had to find a breakthrough as soon as possible.

So, Shangguan Zhengyang took a deep breath, and the power within his body surged wildly.

The spear in his hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, as if it had been given life.

He roared, "Crimson Flame Dragon!"

As his shout fell, the spear instantly transformed into a gigantic crimson flame dragon, roaring towards Xu Feng.

A fierce surge of energy erupted, devouring Xu Feng like a raging dragon.

Wherever the raging dragon passed, the air ignited, forming a sea of ​​fire.

Xu Feng looked at the approaching crimson flame dragon without the slightest fear in his eyes.

With a flash, he disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

"Ok?"

Shangguan Zhengyang was startled.

next moment.

Xu Feng, using the Bagua Step, seemingly passed through a sea of ​​flowers without a single petal touching him, instantly "diving" into the Crimson Flame Dragon!

Just as Shangguan Zhengyang's pupils contracted slightly.

Xu Feng's battle blade was already thrusting towards his face!
"Put on!"

A massive burst of sword energy roared out.

The blade thrust straight at Shangguan Zhengyang.

The blade energy was like a whirlwind, carving a deep trench in the ground wherever it passed.

Shangguan Zhengyang sensed the danger behind him and was greatly alarmed.

He quickly dodged to the side, while simultaneously parrying with his spear.

However, that stab was far too insidious and vicious.

Although he managed to block the direct thrust, the blade still pierced his throat.

"puff!"

In an instant, his neck was torn apart by the violent gale.

"puff!"

Shangguan Zhengyang suddenly sat up in the consciousness pod, staring in astonishment at Xu Feng, who calmly stood up not far away.

The crowd below the stage erupted in uproar upon witnessing this scene.

No one expected it.

Shangguan Zhengyang, this high-level war god, was actually so easily defeated in front of Xu Feng.

He didn't even last three moves!
"This...this..."

"That's too strong. This movement technique is on a completely different level."

"The company commander is a high-level war god, while that person is only at the mid-level, yet he was able to suppress him with every move!"

"The difference in skill level between combat techniques and movement techniques is too great."

Even if a high-level War God's power far surpasses that of a mid-level War God, they can't hit the enemy, nor can they create a significant gap in strength.

"Hey, I never thought we'd both lose."

"That's fucking shameful."

"Damn, the gap is too big, I feel hopeless."

Courtside.

When Xu Feng stepped out of the consciousness capsule, Shangguan Zhengyang was walking towards him.

Xu Feng became alert, fearing that this guy might break down and do something reckless.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Zhengyang abruptly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xu Feng, and then bowed deeply.

"what does this mean?"

Xu Feng raised an eyebrow.

Shangguan Zhengyang said solemnly, "Thank you for teaching us a lesson."

I know the leader was trying to give us a warning.

However, your swordsmanship is in no way inferior to Chen He, the swordsman king of our Base No. 3. I still accept defeat wholeheartedly.

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Xu Feng standing there dumbfounded.

This is nothing.

Chen He, the Sword King?
What a loud tone.

Not far away, seeing Shangguan Zhengyang approaching, a group of guards stood up and bowed their heads with cruel expressions: "Company Commander."

"Company commander, we have lost face."

"us--"

"Alright!" Shangguan Zhengyang shouted, interrupting the gloomy mood of the crowd.

"What if we lose?" he asked loudly to the crowd.

The 19 guards immediately straightened up and shouted in unison, "Train!"

"Li Yang, you lead the team to the weight training field and run forward!"

"Yes!"

In the group, the powerful warrior who had previously wielded the axe stepped forward first.

"All of them! Warriors will carry 30 times the force of gravity! Gods of War will carry 50 times the force of gravity! Let's go!"

"Yes!" The crowd's expressions turned solemn, and they instantly lined up and left.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the guards below the field, Di Ruyan nodded in satisfaction: "Hey, finally these kids have tasted the bitterness of defeat. Xu Feng did a good job."

Lu Fei chuckled lightly: "Master's wife, you gave the order, how could he dare to slack off?"

"However, his strength is really good."

No, to be precise.

Xu Feng is among the top, both in terms of his age and his level of expertise.

Xu Feng, who had just walked up, overheard this and immediately smiled modestly, saying, "You flatter me too much."

"Hey! How can you call that an overstatement? Shouldn't you take a look at whose disciple you are?"

Di Ruyan rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile.

"Great students come from great teachers. How can a teacher be considered great if he cannot produce great students?"

Xu Feng immediately gave a thumbs up: "You're right!"

Indeed, as Hsu Feng, he can be humble.

But as Li Yuanying's disciple, one cannot be humble!
It's not about his reputation.

It's about the master's reputation!
That night.

As expected, Li Tianlang and the others also arrived at Base 3.

As soon as the group arrived at the base, they immediately found Xu Feng.

The group had originally planned to have a meal together, which was quite noisy.

However, Di Ruyan took the initiative to treat everyone and also wanted to meet Xu Feng's friends.

Xu Feng simply invited everyone to have dinner together.

Even Huang Sen came along with the military exercise team.

I heard that Xu Feng's master and mistress are going to host a dinner party, and several high-ranking generals from the military at Base Nine will also be there. Everyone is excited to come.

after all.

When they first heard that Xu Feng actually had a master who surpassed the God of War realm, no one believed it.

But they had no choice but to believe Xu Feng's words.

then.

Xu Feng felt uneasy during the meal.

dinner time.

Xu Feng glanced around and saw that besides Li Tianlang, Xu Nian, and other young people, there were others at the table.

There's also Zhang Huan from Base 9 and Li Lang from Base 3.

In addition, there are several war god-level generals who serve at bases 9 and 3 respectively.

These veteran warriors all seemed to be very familiar with their masters and mistresses.

Therefore, they had a very pleasant conversation.

On the contrary, the young people were somewhat restrained in their eating because of their status.

Fortunately, Master's wife, Di Ruyan, was very experienced in greeting people.

A few words of greeting and everyone quickly relaxed.

Several generals were old acquaintances of their master, Li Yuanying.

In their conversation, they couldn't help but recall the glorious days when they fought side by side, and with each drink, they downed their glasses, their heroic spirit soaring to the heavens.

General Zhang Huan took a sip of wine and smiled at Xu Feng, saying, "Young Xu, you really gave that Shangguan kid a good beating at the martial arts arena today."

He is one of the most outstanding talents of the Shangguan family in this generation, and he has very high aspirations.

This time, I'll probably have to go into seclusion and cultivate diligently for a while.

Li Lang nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Old Master Shangguan once boasted to me about how remarkable his grandson was, rarely matched among his peers."

The result was in your hands; hey, you didn't even last three moves.

I saw it on the security camera; I almost spat out my tea.

Zhang Huan nodded in agreement, his tone tinged with emotion: "Yes, Lao Li, you didn't see it."

Back in our area, even those at the beginner level dared to hunt down that kid Zheng Zidan.

It hasn't been long, yet he's already able to crush high-level war gods.

General Li, you've taken on a truly enviable disciple.

Although Li Yuanying's expression remained serious, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes relaxed somewhat, clearly indicating that he was quite pleased.

However, he simply said, "The kid is still green and has a long way to go."

Xu Feng quickly nodded and grinned foolishly.

Di Ruyan didn't care about any of that and smiled with pride, "That's right! Don't you even know who taught you that!"

However, Xu Feng's final strike today 'drilled' into the gap in the Crimson Flame Dragon's energy, breaking through the surface with a single point and heading straight for the center.

That insight and courage are truly remarkable, and these are things that Old Li didn't teach them.

This shows that the kid himself is quite capable.

Li Yuanying awkwardly touched his nose: "It's just that I benefited from having a higher level of combat secret techniques."

If we're really talking about practical experience, I still need to learn more from the elite troops under my command.

Xu Feng also raised his glass to toast at the opportune moment, showing humility and giving face to all the generals present.

He knew that his master and mistress were paving the way for him, and he was naturally very moved.

As Li Yuanying's old subordinates, Zhang Huan, Li Lang, Yang Fang, Ren Kuo and other generals naturally rushed to speak.

These words caused the young people at the table, such as Li Tianlang, to look at Xu Feng with even more envy.

That's the advantage of having a good mentor.

Huang Sen was so excited that his face turned red, and he felt honored, as if he himself was being praised.

Xu Feng quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Generals, you flatter me. Brother Shangguan is too kind. I was just using my agility to my advantage."

"Excessive humility is arrogance."

Zhang Huan and Xu Feng were much closer, so they spoke more casually.

“We old guys can see your strength clearly.”

The path you're on demands extremely high levels of combat skill and artistic conception; crushing opponents of the same level is the norm.

If it's difficult to fight even among players of the same level, then there's a problem.

Take Li Wen for example, let's not even talk about those of the same rank.

Even if someone is a level higher than him, who dares to say they can definitely defeat him?

Another war god from Base 9, Yang Fang, who was a general, laughed and said, "Old Zhang is right, Xu Feng, you don't need to belittle yourself."

A warrior must fight; when it's time to show his skills, he shouldn't hide his talents.

Your actions today have not only brought honor to your master.

It also gave those arrogant little devils at Base 3 a good talking-to, which is a good thing!

“That’s right, it’s a good thing.” Li Lang nodded with a smile.

Xu Feng agreed again.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The younger people's table gradually relaxed as well.

Li Tianlang, Xu Nian, and others were initially able to maintain their composure.

After a few drinks, and seeing how approachable Xu Feng's teacher's wife was, they started talking and began recounting interesting stories about how they met Xu Feng.

Especially the recent arrests of members of the Revival Church and the Extinction Church.

Xu Nian also came over and whispered to Xu Feng, "Brother, your wife is really awesome. You should help me out more in the future."

Xu Feng smiled and clinked glasses with him: "Brother Xu, what are you saying? We're family, it's only right that we look after each other."

Xu Nian immediately smiled and pulled Li Tianlang and the others to get to know each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

"By the way, Master's wife, who is Chen He, the Knife King that Shangguan Zhengyang mentioned?"

I don't usually follow these kinds of news stories, so I'm not sure if his knife skills are very strong.

Taking advantage of the harmonious atmosphere, Xu Feng asked the question that had been bothering him.

Before Di Ruyan could speak, General Li Lang from Base 3 chimed in with a smile: "That kid Chen He is practically a star attraction for Base 3."

He is the grandson of Master Chen, known as the "Broken Mountain Blade," and comes from a family with a long tradition of martial arts.

He showed amazing talent in knife skills from a young age.

Although he is only a mid-level War God now, in terms of swordsmanship alone, many high-level War Gods are no match for him.

He ranks among the top thirty on the entire military's list of war gods.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has grasped seven-tenths of the essence of "Severing the Mountain," and may even have surpassed his master.

Zhang Huan added, "That's right, Chen He is somewhat arrogant, but upright and obsessed with knives."

On the border battlefield, he once single-handedly defended a pass with a battle sword, slaying three mutated lords of the same rank and striking fear into the hearts of demonic beasts.

The title of "King of Knives" was earned through real battles, and he enjoyed considerable prestige within the army.

For Shangguan to compare you to him is quite a high compliment.

Di Ruyan nodded and said to Xu Feng, "Chen He's sword emphasizes momentum and intent, following a bold and unstoppable path."

It emphasizes using force to overcome skill, which is a different style from your agile and unpredictable approach.

His "Nine Forms of Breaking Mountains" are extremely powerful.

If you really face him, never confront him head-on; instead, use your strengths to attack his weaknesses.

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng understood and a sense of curiosity arose within him.

Being able to spar with such a master swordsman is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to test one's own swordsmanship.

He respectfully said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master's wife and all the generals. I understand now."

But what exactly is the War God Ranking?

Everyone in the room fell silent for a moment, then looked at Xu Feng with surprise.

"You really don't know? No, you—" Even Li Tianlang was speechless.

Zhou Xian said in surprise, "Old Xu, I always thought you knew you were just pretending to be low-key."

The War God Ranking is the most important ranking list of military war god-level experts.

Regardless of cultivation level, only combat techniques and movement skills are considered.

And you've already been on the list for a while!

"Really?" Xu Feng scratched his head and looked at Lu Fei.

Lu Fei immediately laughed: "It's my fault, Xu Feng has never been interested in this kind of thing, so I never mentioned it."

There is indeed such a War God Ranking; not only does the military have one, but the Great Xia Dynasty also has one.

The military's ranking is an internal list, while the Great Xia's War God Ranking is similar to a general ranking.

Zhang Huan, who was standing to the side, nodded in surprise and said, "You really are a freak. It's rare to see a young person with your personality."

Li Yuanying, however, praised it, saying, "I think it's great. This competition over rankings is meaningless."

Those who haven't reached the Star God realm are just ordinary people.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Di Ruyan laughed first: "I'm used to it, I'm used to it. You're the only one here who surpasses the God of War, and you're putting on an act."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Li Yuanying was also slightly embarrassed.

Only Di Ruyan would dare to tease this powerful figure who surpassed even the God of War in such a way.

At this point, Di Ruyan changed the subject: "Let's continue talking about Chen He. He ranks in the top thirty on the military's list of war gods."

However, he couldn't even make it into the top fifty of the Great Xia War God Ranking.

You can imagine the weight of these two lists. So, are you interested in him?

Xu Feng waved his hand: "This disciple is just curious and asking. I think I am not as good as Li Wen."

"Of course." Everyone nodded in agreement almost simultaneously.

Xu Feng smiled and said, "That's just so-so."

"Hahaha! I love Lao Xu's style! What kind of 'Knife King' is he? He's just a noob."

Huang Sen chuckled softly to the group of young people.

Everyone nodded and smiled.

Xu Nian, however, looked at Huang Sen with curiosity: "I wonder what your strength is, Brother Huang?"

Huang Sen paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "He is the sworn brother of Xu Feng, the Grand Executive Chef of the Great Xia Dynasty, the private chef of the Northwest Marshal of Base No. 9, and the legendary God of War."

Xu Nian was also stunned for a moment after hearing this, then clasped his hands and said, "My apologies for my rudeness."

Huang Sen returned the greeting, saying, "You're too kind."

Xu Feng: "." Everyone: "."

The welcoming banquet ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

Although Xu Feng was just like the "King of Knives," he actually felt a sense of excitement and anticipation.

Being able to spar with different masters of swordsmanship would greatly benefit him in perfecting his own swordsmanship.

However, he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, the base is so large, and the other party is so well-known, we might not be able to run into them.

but.

The news of Xu Feng's defeat of the Imperial Guard Company, especially his victory over Shangguan Zhengyang in just three moves, spread like wildfire within a specific circle at Base 3.

"The closed-door disciple who surpasses even the God of War."

"His movements are ghostly and elusive."

The title of "swordsmanship even more shrewd than the Sword King's personal guards" inadvertently fell upon Xu Feng.

"Have you heard? A ruthless guy named Xu Feng has arrived at Base Nine."

With the cultivation of a mid-level War God and swordsmanship like a god, he defeated Shangguan Zhengyang in just three moves!

"Really? Shangguan Zhengyang is one of the top experts in our base!"

"Absolutely true! Many people saw it at the time!"
His movements were ghostly, his blade flashed like the wind, impossible to defend against!

"It is said that his swordsmanship is already no weaker than our 'King of Swords' Chen He!"

"It's not just not weak, it's utterly crushing!"

"Wow! That's exaggerated? It seems the title of the number one swordsman in our Wumeng Mountain region is about to change hands?"

Rumors inevitably get embellished during their spread.

Somehow.

In the end, the rumor spread that "Xu Feng claimed that his swordsmanship had surpassed that of the Sword King Chen He".

……

After 2 days.

Inside a specialty restaurant inside the base.

Xu Feng and the others gathered together for a small get-together to prepare for the upcoming military exercise.

Since Xu Feng has decided to participate, he should discuss his role with Li Tianlang and the others.

When young people get together, after a few drinks, the conversation naturally turns to Xu Feng's amazing performance a few days ago.

They all watched the video recording of the scene and were naturally very excited.

Zhou Xian, slightly drunk, patted Xu Feng's shoulder forcefully and said loudly, "Brother Xu, you didn't see it, but the faces of those guards turned green!"
Especially the final fight against Shangguan Zhengyang, wow, 'Crimson Flame Dragon' sounds terrifying.

You actually managed to 'drill' in there, awesome!
I think this 'Knife King' Chen He will be defeated in three to five moves!

As soon as he said this, some of Sun Liu and others next to him started to jeer: "That's right! Old Xu, since you've got nothing to do these past few days, why don't you just go and challenge that Sword King?"
Let's see if your blade is sharper, or if his title of "King of Blades" is more powerful!

"Yes, yes, yes! Challenge the Sword King! Let the people from Base 3 see that the one from Base 9 is the real Sword King!"

Young people are full of vigor and love excitement, so a chorus of encouragement immediately filled the restaurant.

Xu Feng smiled and waved his hand, about to speak to stop this pointless dispute.

He respected the strong and had no intention of seeking empty fame, let alone a challenge that sounded like it could easily cause trouble.

However, the private room they were in was not completely soundproof.

Just then, in a quiet spot by the window in the restaurant lobby.

A man dressed in ordinary combat uniform, with a tall and straight figure and a stern face, was having a drink.

Several travel-worn young men sat beside him.

His ears twitched slightly, and the words "Challenge the King of Knives" and "Chen He" that were faintly heard from inside the private room clearly reached his ears.

This person was none other than Chen He, the "Knife King," who had just returned to base to rest after completing an external extermination mission.

Chen He paid no attention to these discussions.

He's well-known, and he's heard a lot about similar challenges or comparisons.

But when he heard keywords such as "Xu Feng", "defeated Shangguan Zhengyang in three moves", and "extremely strong swordsmanship", his hand holding the wine glass paused slightly.

He knew Shangguan Zhengyang's strength; his marksmanship was excellent.

Can I defeat him in three moves, or with a knife?

This piqued his interest.

However, his indifference does not mean that his team members are indifferent.

These remarks, which "encouraged Xu Feng to challenge the Sword King Chen He," were overheard by several people sitting next to Chen He.

"Fuck! What the hell is this crap, spouting such bullshit!"

A novice War God immediately stood up.

"Go find him! Let's see what kind of trash came from Base 9!"

"Sit down!" Chen He frowned, and the man immediately sat down reluctantly.

"Captain, these guys are too arrogant! If you don't make them do something, it'll be a disgrace to our Base 3!"

Chen He frowned and shook his head slightly.

He put down his wine glass, got up, and walked straight to the private room where Xu Feng and the others were.

With a creak, the door to the private room was pushed open.

The lively private room fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at the uninvited stranger at the door.

The man's aura was restrained, but his eyes were as sharp as knives.

His gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Xu Feng.

Who is Xu Feng?

Chen He's voice was calm, yet carried a sharp edge.

Xu Feng sensed something and stood up: "I am, and who are you?"

"Chen He".

Those two simple words seemed to instantly lower the temperature in the private room.

Li Tianlang, Zhou Xian, and the others instantly sobered up considerably, looked at each other, and showed embarrassment on their faces.

They never expected that the person in question was actually outside, and had even come to their door!
Chen He's gaze fell on Xu Feng, and after carefully examining him, he said indifferently, "I've heard that your swordsmanship is very strong. Do you want to challenge me?"

He paused, a pure fighting spirit igniting in his eyes.

That's the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent.

"I am obsessed with knives, and I rejoice when I encounter a strong opponent."

I have come here today with only one question in mind—

He took a step forward, and his aura suddenly surged, like a drawn sword, radiating cold light.
"Do you dare to challenge me on the blade?"

The overwhelming fighting spirit pressed down on them as if it were a tangible force.

The temperature around us seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

Xiao Dan shrank back and grabbed Lu Fei's arm.

Xu Feng slowly stood up and stood in front of Xiao Dan. Looking at the uninvited "King of Blades" in front of him, he felt the pure and ardent belief of a swordsman emanating from the other party.

Instead of backing down at all, a slight smile curved the corners of his mouth.

He was worried about not finding a suitable opponent to test the results of his training over the past few days.

"Why don't you dare?"

Xu Feng's voice was equally calm, yet it carried a proud confidence.

He stepped aside to make way, gesturing for them to pass: "You choose the location?"

A glint flashed in Chen He's eyes, clearly showing his appreciation for Xu Feng's decisiveness: "The seventh training ground of the base is currently empty."

"Lead the way." Xu Feng said succinctly, stepping out of the private room.

Everyone was startled and stood up to follow.

As the crowd followed them out, the entire restaurant erupted in chaos.

Wow.

"Holy crap! Blade King Chen He! He actually came in person!"

"That person is the expert from Base 9?"

"This is really bad, isn't it? Haha, those guys were bragging for nothing, now the real deal is here!"

"Let's go, let's go! The expert from Base 9 is challenging the Sword King Chen He, we absolutely have to go watch!"

"A battle of the century! Definitely worth watching!"

"Quickly! Quickly call for help!!"

Xu Feng and Chen He walked side by side ahead, without exchanging a word.

But the invisible clash of energy made Huang Sen, who was following behind, feel his breathing become somewhat sluggish.

Xiao Dan, on the other hand, didn't understand and was at a low level of understanding, so she felt nothing and was even a little nervous.

After all, Chen He seems to be very strong.

She was genuinely afraid her dad would lose.

Li Tianlang, Zhou Xian, and the others were both excited and regretful at this moment.

They were excited to witness this duel between top swordsmen, but regretful that their drunken ramblings had attracted the attention of the main character and caused trouble for Xu Feng.

Only Lu Fei remained calm. She understood Xu Feng's abilities and had faith in his adaptability.

The news spread like wildfire.

"Knife King Chen He is going to have a duel with Xu Feng, the legendary martial artist from Base Nine, at Training Ground Seven!"

This news instantly went viral within the small circle of Base 3.

Many officers and soldiers who had heard of Xu Feng's deeds or were already supporters of Chen He put down what they were doing and rushed toward the Seventh Training Ground.

Even some of the guards who were resting, including Shangguan Zhengyang, rushed over immediately after hearing the news.

They were eager to see how this young man, who had so easily defeated them, would perform when facing the base's undisputed "Knife King".

When Xu Feng and Chen He arrived at the seventh training ground.

There were already at least a hundred people gathered at the sidelines, and the number was still increasing.

Among them are many powerful warriors of the War God level with a calm and composed demeanor.

They were all clearly drawn in by this sudden "battle of the sword kings".

Upon seeing the two main characters appear, a suppressed murmur arose from the audience.

"That's Xu Feng? He looks so young!"

"His momentum is not weak; he is not at all inferior to Chen He's sword intent."

"Captain Chen's 'Mountain-Slaying Blade' can kill three Lord-level enemies in a row. I wonder how many blows Xu Feng can withstand?"

Shangguan Zhengyang stood at the front of the crowd with his arms crossed, looking at Xu Feng in the center of the room with a complicated expression.

He hoped that Chen He could win and save face for Base No. 3.

I also have a feeling that Xu Feng might bring another surprise.

Very complicated.

My emotions are very complicated.

In the arena, Chen He ignored the onlookers around him; his eyes were only on Xu Feng.

He pointed to the two latest virtual consciousness pods next to him: "To be fair, use this one. You can unleash your full potential without any worries."

Xu Feng nodded: "Okay."

The two said no more and each entered a consciousness capsule.

Scene: Ancient battlefield in the Gobi Desert.

Mode: Non-destructive practical simulation.

Pain feedback: 100%.

Chen He expertly set the parameters and looked at Xu Feng: "Any objections?"

"No," Xu Feng replied calmly, then lay down and put on his helmet.

hum-

With the connection of consciousness.

A massive holographic projection unfolded above the field, clearly projecting the scene of the virtual battlefield—

A desolate Gobi Desert, littered with jagged rocks and howling sandstorms.

Xu Feng and Chen He's figures solidified, each holding a standard-issue combat knife.

Although it was a virtual projection, the two actors' presence was clearly conveyed to every viewer through the projection.

Chen He held the knife in one hand, with the tip pointing diagonally at the ground.

A heavy, powerful aura of sword energy began to gather.

It was as if he were holding not a knife, but a mountain about to collapse.

The surrounding air seemed to thicken, a feeling of oppression brought by the "Severing Mountain" sword intent.

Xu Feng, on the other hand, gently swung the battle sword in his hand, appearing light and natural, like a gentle breeze swirling around.

"Be careful!"

Chen He gave a low shout and no longer hesitated.

boom!
He took a step, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

He pounced like a tiger that had been gathering its strength for a long time!
The ground beneath his feet cracked, and his figure moved at an astonishing speed, like a cannonball!

"The first move in severing mountains: Mountain splitting!"

The knife has not arrived yet.

A terrifying, all-splitting pressure has descended!
It was as if an invisible mountain was crushing down on Xu Feng, about to cleave him and his sword in two!

Gasps of surprise erupted from the audience.

Many people were shocked by the power of Chen He's opening strike.

This strike was incredibly domineering and unavoidable; its terrifying force had already caused the air around Xu Feng to freeze!
Xu Feng's eyes turned serious. Indeed, his reputation was well-deserved!

The power and artistic conception of this strike far surpassed Shangguan Zhengyang's "Crimson Flame Dragon".

He dared not be negligent in the slightest, and instantly unleashed the full potential of the Bagua Footwork.

Her figure moved like willow catkins in the wind, or like ripples on water, drifting away to the side and back in the blink of an eye.

laugh--!
The terrifying blade energy grazed past Xu Feng's side, cleaving a deep crack dozens of meters long in the ground behind him.

Rock fragments shot out, and dust billowed everywhere!

"What a quick movement!"

However, unlike the audience in the stadium.

After the first strike, Chen He felt a slight chill.

Xu Feng's dodge appeared dangerous, but it was actually incredibly precise, perfectly avoiding the point where the blade's momentum was strongest.

Without retracting his blade, he used the momentum of his forward charge to twist his wrist and slash horizontally with his sword!

"Second move of the Mountain-Splitting Technique: Cutting Off the Flow!"

The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, slashing horizontally as if it would cut the air and even the space in front of it in two!

The blade wind was fierce, stirring up sand and stones from the ground, forming a terrifying storm of blade energy.

Xu Feng once again used his movement technique, his figure flashing like a ghost.
He slipped through the gap in the blade's energy at the last possible moment.

At the same time, the sword in his hand finally moved!

wind?
I started out playing with wind!

boom! !

With a sudden gust of wind, Xu Feng's battle blade swept like an angry dragon and a hurricane, directly suppressing Chen He's sword momentum!
Chen He parried with his sword, and the two swords clashed, producing a piercing metallic clang.

boom!
The two retreated instantly.

Sparks fly!

After a brief exchange, the two immediately resumed their battle at an even faster pace!
Bang bang bang!

Smoke and dust rose, sparks flew, figures moved erratically, and blade energy exploded!
Chen He's swordsmanship was characterized by its sweeping, powerful, and heavy strokes.

Each strike contains terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and breaking peaks.

The blade's energy crisscrossed, tearing deep ravines into the surrounding Gobi Desert.

His attacks were like a storm, relentless and relentless, forcing Xu Feng to constantly dodge and parry.

Xu Feng, on the other hand, was like a small boat in a stormy sea.

With masterful Star Shift and Dipper Turning footwork and agile swordsmanship incorporating Baguazhang.

He weaved and moved through Chen He's ferocious swordplay.

His sword no longer aimed for a single, fatal blow as it had before.

Instead, it focuses more on timing, angle, and penetration.

Often, just as Chen He's old strength had waned and new strength had yet to emerge, they launched a fatal counterattack, forcing Chen He to retreat and defend.

Even with great strength and momentum, timing and opportunity are still crucial.

What's the use of having great strength if you can't use it?

"Clang clang clang clang!"

Blades flashed, and figures clashed.

The two fought at an extremely fast pace.

Many people in the audience could only see two blurry figures, sparks and blade energy exploding continuously, and the endless, heart-pounding sounds of collision.

"Too...too strong!"

Off the field, Zhou Xian opened his mouth wide and muttered to himself.

Li Tianlang and the others held their breath, their palms sweating.

They could sense the danger of this confrontation.

Any mistake could lead to instant defeat.

They knew Xu Feng's strength, but Chen He was no ordinary opponent!
Shangguan Zhengyang was mesmerized by what he saw, and the last trace of resentment in his heart vanished.

He finally understood that Xu Feng defeated him not only because of his agility.

It is also this terrifying combat wisdom—the ability to remain calm under extreme pressure and find openings to counterattack—and a profound understanding of swordsmanship.

Chen He's knife is incredibly domineering, but Xu Feng's knife shows more "wisdom" and "art".

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Lu Fei's lips.

Hsu Feng's performance was even better than she had expected.

He has perfected the combination of movement techniques and swordsmanship.

On the field, Chen He became increasingly alarmed as the game progressed.

He had already unleashed the seventh of his "Nine Forms of Breaking the Mountain," each strike of his blade heavier than the last.

Ordinary high-level war gods would have been killed long ago by his attacks.

But Xu Feng is clearly not as strong as him.

Yet he always managed to deflect his attacks with exquisite footwork and swordsmanship.

Even the counterattacks that occasionally slipped into the gaps in his sword strikes were exceptionally fierce.

"We can't delay it any longer!"

A fierce glint flashed in Chen He's eyes, and he frantically poured his inner energy into the blade.

An even more terrifying blade aura soared into the sky!

"Eighth Form of Mountain Severing, Void Slash!"

He gripped the sword with both hands, becoming one with the blade, transforming into a dazzling blade of light that tore through the sky, slashing down at Xu Feng with unstoppable force!

This strike seemed capable of cleaving through even nothingness, locking down all of Xu Feng's space to dodge!

"coming!"

Everyone in the audience was on the edge of their seats.

Faced with this earth-shattering strike, Xu Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

His footwork suddenly changed mysteriously, and his figure seemed to transform into a distorted shadow of light.

At the critical moment, on the edge of that blade of light that seemed capable of severing everything.

They narrowly "slipped" across!

At the same time, his battle blade followed the sliding trajectory, like a master butcher dissecting an ox, and counterattacked along an extremely subtle fluctuation point in Chen He's sword technique!

"Put on!"

It was still the same move, "Piercing Palm" turning into a blade.

But this time, it's faster, more cunning, and even more impossible to defend against!
laugh--!
The sword flashed!
Chen He's charging figure suddenly froze, remaining motionless in his slashing posture.

A tiny knife mark slowly appeared on his throat.

Swish!
Chen He disappeared from the field.

The whole place was in dead silence.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the holographic projection in the arena.

Won?

Did Hsu Feng win?

When "King of Blades" Chen He unleashed one of his strongest attacks, "Slaying the Void".

Xu Feng actually won in one blow using such an unbelievable method?!

Chen He slowly sheathed his knife, touched the wound on his neck, his face showing no anger or resentment, but rather a complex and unfathomable expression.

There was shock, there was realization, and finally it all turned into pure admiration.

He raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on Xu Feng, who was also standing with his sword sheathed. His voice was slightly hoarse, yet it carried clearly throughout the entire training ground:

"Excellent footwork! Excellent swordsmanship! I admit defeat, I'm completely convinced."

He paused, looked at Xu Feng whose breathing was only slightly rapid, and sincerely sighed, "I have cultivated the way of the sword for twenty years to reach this level."

And you are not only a martial artist, but also a practitioner of mental and spiritual power.

Despite being distracted and multitasking, they were able to achieve such great results in all areas.

Chen He shook his head, his tone filled with undisguised admiration: "Compared to you, my title of 'King of Knives' seems rather narrow-minded."

I learned a great deal from this battle, thank you!

After saying that, he solemnly clasped his hands in a salute to Xu Feng.

There was initial silence in the audience, followed by a huge uproar!

Knife King Chen He personally admits defeat!

And he expressed such high praise for Hsu Feng!
All eyes were once again focused on Xu Feng.

In the stands, Huang Sen and Zhou Xian both picked at their ears and looked at Chen He's teammates.

"No, what Sword King? This is all?"

Snapped!Snapped!
Li Tianlang slapped the two men twice on the back: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

He then apologized to the people beside him, saying, "We're sorry, we didn't mean to belittle Brother Chen. We're all military personnel, so please don't be angry."

The group waved their hands, their faces grim: "A loss is a loss! Our captain accepts it, and so do we!"

Huang Sen immediately changed his expression: "That's right! Losing is losing! Victory and defeat are common in war, so what! We're all brothers!"

Hearing Huang Sen's seemingly contradictory words, the expressions on the faces of Chen He's teammates were quite interesting.

Everyone: "."
