Borrowing a sword

Chapter 141 Dual Cultivation of Sword and Body - Chu Huai's Preface [Fourth Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets!]

Amidst the continuous drizzle, the Chu Huai Xu (a type of tree) gathers only a single drop from the heavens and earth.

Enveloped in true energy, the raindrop shot forward.

It's like a whirlpool, sweeping up all the surrounding rainwater wherever it goes.

After unleashing his ultimate strike, Ji Sikong suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He was incredulous at what he was seeing!

The blade's energy surged forward, yet it still seemed as if a dragon's roar echoed from within.

The crimson flames of the blade resembled a fire dragon!
And this junior brother Chu in front of us has finally revealed another part of his trump card.

He actually claimed that he was not just a self-cultivator!

Chu Huaixu seized a drop of rain and flicked it forward with [Fingertip Thunder].

Thunder rumbled from the dark clouds high in the sky.

At the arena, there seemed to be bursts of thunder echoing in response!

The roars of dragons and the thunder rose and fell in succession!
More and more rainwater was swept up by the vortex formed by the True Qi.

Then, it crashed violently into the flames of the blade, which resembled a fire dragon!
It's like the collision of water and fire.

In reality, it was a head-on clash between true qi and sword qi!
If you use fierce and brutal methods to fight me, then I will respond with fierce and brutal methods in return!

The spiritual power within Chu Huaixu's body was so surging.

The [Fingertip Lightning] is agitated by spiritual power, and further enhanced by the physical strength of the body at the moment it is released.

His seemingly casual flick in the rain was actually incredibly powerful and deadly!
The fiery dragon-like blade flames were instantly dispersed, but the aftershocks of the true energy continued to propel forward.

Ji Sikong's pupils contracted, and he quickly swung his sword to block.

He appeared flustered and disheveled. Although he barely managed to withstand the attack, he coughed up blood and was forced to retreat five steps by the shock!
His unwavering, forward-only sword stance was instantly broken.

The area around the thumb of his right hand, which held the long sword, was red and swollen, and his palm and arm began to tremble slightly.

"How is this possible!" he exclaimed in disbelief.

This man, once one of the most promising outer disciples in the Daoist sect, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at Chu Huaixu.

He was dressed in a black robe and stood in the rain.

He raised his right hand, and a water droplet the size of a fingernail was floating in his palm.

In a life-or-death duel, he could easily have flicked his finger again at this moment.

Therefore, Ji Sikong is doomed to die!

A fierce determination to never admit defeat also rose in the heart of this Daoist prodigy.

But seeing the other party's indifferent appearance, he finally just dejectedly put down the spirit sword Crimson Dragon in his hand.

This Senior Brother Ji was indeed domineering in battle, but he was also quite gentlemanly.

They're already being accommodating to you, so don't keep pestering them and only make things more awkward.

He straightened up and raised his still trembling right hand.

"Junior Brother Xie Chu, you showed mercy. I have lost." He said loudly, cupping his hands in greeting.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu clenched his fist tightly.

The water droplet, enveloped in spiritual energy, shattered instantly, turning into a water stain in the palm of the hand.

He raised his hands, cupped them in a polite gesture, and said, "Thank you for your kind offer!"

Below the arena, all was deathly silent.

The scene before them was so shocking that many people felt their scalp tingle.

People like Lang Yue and Shen Miaoyun were standing together at this moment.

They're like the "Chu Huaixu Praise Group" now; whenever he performs well, they praise him loudly, as if this would increase the prestige of themselves, the losers.

But now, both Lang Yue and Shen Miaoyun slightly opened their mouths.

Because they were all defeated by [Tixiu Chuhuai Xu].

But what exactly is going on now?
"Chu Huaixu is not a pure body cultivator after all!" Lang Yue felt his heart skip a beat.

So, how much force did he use when he hit me?

Everyone then realized that their assessment of this person's strength was completely wrong!

When he revealed his true strength, he defeated the powerful Ji Sikong with just one move!

Furthermore, Ji Sikong possesses a high-grade spiritual weapon.

Chu Huaixu simply flicked his finger, facing his enemy bare-handed!

"What kind of magic is this, that it's so domineering!" Lang Yue couldn't help but exclaim.

"The spiritual power is so strong, it's terrifying," Shen Miaoyun said.

She couldn't even imagine what the consequences would have been if he had flicked her like that that day.
As for Geng Tianhe and the others, they looked at each other in bewilderment once again.

They now have only one thought in their minds.

"If I had been the one to take that attack, would I have been able to handle it?" the three wondered.

Their answers were consistent: if they didn't use some special methods, the result would probably be exactly the same as Ji Sikong's!
On the arena, Ji Sikong couldn't help but ask:
"Junior Brother Chu's move just now, I guess it was a Xuan-level technique, just like my [Fire Dragon Roar]?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu nodded slightly.

There's nothing wrong with admitting this; anyone with eyes can see that [Fingertip Grenade] couldn't possibly be just a Yellow-level weapon.

"I'm afraid he's not just entered the field, but has already achieved some level of mastery, right?" Ji Sikong still felt a bit scared when he recalled it now.

"Yes," Chu Huaixu readily admitted.

Below the arena, everyone was shocked once again.

"Cultivating both internal and external strength, plus minor mastery of the Profound-level Body Technique and minor mastery of the Profound-level True Qi."

"This is too strong!"

High in the sky, the great practitioners stood suspended in mid-air, shielding themselves from the surrounding raindrops.

The astonishment of Mo Tenglong and the others was no less than that of the lower-level cultivators below.

Even Mei Chuxue and the others were amazed.

The woman's captivating peach blossom eyes couldn't help but scrutinize this exceptionally handsome young man from head to toe.

"Cultivating both inner and outer qualities?"

"Moreover, the spiritual energy within the Spirit Embryo Secret Treasury is also so abundant."

"What kind of technique is this?" She felt she had never heard of it before.

Upon hearing this, Teng Lingyi shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know either.

"This kid's physical strength is terrifying even among body cultivators, yet he's not a pure body cultivator?"

"I've never heard of any first-stage cultivation technique that can achieve this effect."

Upon hearing this, Mei Chuxue was slightly surprised, her charming eyes widening slightly as she said, "Even you don't know?" The three of them were old acquaintances. She and Situ Cheng knew that Teng Lingyi, the Grand Elder of Luo Tian Valley, was a master of martial arts.

He created a large number of low- to mid-level martial arts techniques, as well as many high-level techniques!
This person is deeply immersed in this path and once stated that in the process of creating the practice, he was also comprehending the Dao.

Teng Lingyi nodded and said, "That's why I'm also very curious."

"Judging from this kid's current performance, his physical strength combined with the spiritual energy within his spiritual embryo means that the power of his cultivation technique is among the best even among Heaven-level techniques!"

"More importantly, we don't actually know where his limits are yet."

"It's obvious that he didn't use his full strength just now, but held back."

Situ Cheng glanced at the two of them and went straight to the key issue:

"Have you all forgotten what Chu Yinyin said in the main hall?"

"If what she said is true, then it means that this Chu Huaixu is a practitioner of both sword and body cultivation, and has already comprehended the sword intent!"

Upon hearing this, Teng Lingyi and Mei Chuxue were taken aback.

"Yes, how could we forget about that!" they thought to themselves.

If that's really the case, then this kid is far too extraordinary.

The three of them came here to see what secrets the Taoist sect was keeping.

As a result, Jiang Zhi blocked their spiritual detection.

"So, what Chu Yinyin said before might not have been a lie?" Teng Lingyi said.

Upon realizing this, he couldn't help but feel worried for Zhao Xinghan of Luotian Valley.

"In that case, even if Xinghan uses his secret techniques and relies on the advantage of his superior spiritual artifact, the outcome is still uncertain!" he thought to himself.

Just as Situ Cheng was about to say something, Mei Chuxue spoke up.

"Why are we making wild guesses? Why don't we just ask the kid directly?" she chuckled.

This caused him and Teng Lingyi to exchange a glance, both harboring some resentment in their hearts.

"I just couldn't resist flirting with this handsome guy."

The practitioners of Spring and Autumn Mountain enter the path through the seven emotions and six desires, and their behavior is different from that of ordinary people. They often do some reckless things and are often not proper.

They had some understanding of Mei Chuxue.

Back when she first met the Sword Master, she dared to raise a single jade finger to gently tease the Sword Master's chin!

The woman, whom Nangong Yue had called a slut, waved her hand, and the surrounding dark clouds dissipated.

The three cultivators at the eighth realm withdrew their concealment spells and appeared before everyone.

A powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from the heavens, naturally attracting the attention of everyone below.

Even Chu Huaixu on the arena looked up, gazing at the high place.

Mei Chuxue, dressed in red, drifted forward a few feet before looking down at him.

She had a captivating smile on her face; just one glance at her was enough to make your heart race and make you irresistibly drawn to her.

"A naturally alluring body?" This thought popped into Chu Huaixu's mind.

When three powerful cultivators at the eighth level appear together, they are naturally recognized by some people.

People like Geng Tianhe immediately began to bow.

These three cultivation giants were of noble status and high position, so much so that all the lower-level cultivators present had to pay their respects. Chu Huaixu was no exception and had to fulfill his etiquette.

"Greetings, Situ Shenjian."

"Greetings, Senior Teng."

"Greetings, Senior Mei."

Almost everyone was shocked, never expecting that a cultivator at the eighth realm would come here specifically to watch the competition!
What an honor!

Mei Chuxue chuckled, and the sound of her laughter caused not only the men present, but also many women to feel a strange flutter in their hearts!
Compared to her, Shen Miaoyun's clumsy erotic fantasy was simply child's play.

“No need for such formalities,” Mei Chuxue said.

Her voice was also somewhat alluring, with a tone that differed from that of ordinary people.

It wasn't that kind of strained voice, but rather a more breathy, seductive one, yet with a hint of superiority, making you want to be her dog.

"Chu Huaixu, you have truly broadened my horizons today."

"I didn't expect you to be so handsome, yet your strength is also not to be underestimated. It's quite a surprise to me." She looked at him with her peach blossom eyes.

Upon hearing this, Han Shuangjiang, who was standing below the arena, looked up at the high place and her gaze changed slightly.

Even the delicate eyebrows of the large ice block furrowed slightly at this moment.

This guy, who ranked second on the "Must-Eat for Companion Games" list, remained unmoved, but maintained a steady expression.

He looked at the alluring woman high above with eyes that seemed to gaze with affection even at a dog.

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant as he replied, "Senior Mei, you flatter me."

He'd encountered plenty of these sassy older women at work.

When they have nothing better to do, they'll tease you a few times on purpose, but they won't give you anything to eat.

That's exactly the effect they wanted; they were just kidding.

He loves to battle it out with these kinds of sugar daddies, and he usually comes out on top, making the other party furious and starting to doubt their own charm. Then they continue to ask him to be their companion, and he won't stop until he has them completely under his thumb.

"This young man's eyes look like those of a lovesick fool?" Mei Chuxue, who had entered the path of love and desire, was slightly surprised.

She began to find the boy increasingly interesting.

The spectators beside the ring were once again deeply shocked.

This Chu Huai Preface actually received high praise from the Eight Realms Master!

Standing to the side, Ji Sikong felt much better and increasingly felt that his defeat was not unjust.

He even suspected that there must be something special about the other person that we just hadn't noticed.

He became increasingly curious about why these three great cultivators, who had previously concealed their whereabouts, were now openly appearing.
As expected, Mei Chuxue's next words stunned most of the people.

"I have a question that I'm curious about, and I'm sure you'd be willing to answer it for me, wouldn't you?"

"I ask you, do you cultivate both sword and body?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity wash over him.

You ask, but you have to add, "I'm sure you'd be willing to answer my question."

—The smell is practically overflowing!

But am I a practitioner of both sword and body techniques? Do I qualify as a practitioner of both sword and body techniques?
This swordless person, who clearly didn't even have a sword, immediately adopted a serious and earnest expression and calmly replied:
"Exactly!"
