Borrowing a sword

Chapter 149 The Perverts of Spring and Autumn Mountain
When Chu Huaixu comprehended the Fearless Sword Intent, he had read the system's introduction to it.

There are three sentences in total.

"【Fearless and without distance】" is the first of the three sentences.

In fact, after reading it, he understood that although the name "Fearless Sword Intent" was ordinary, its status was definitely not bad, and it was absolutely top-notch among sword intents.

However, while these three sentences seem sophisticated, their actual meaning, as summarized in Chu Huai Xu, can be encapsulated in three words:
——Fast, accurate, and ruthless!

Extremely fast, extremely accurate, and extremely ruthless.

Today, we are fearless in the face of sword intent.

How fast?

If the opponent is much stronger than oneself, one will deliver a delicious meal to the opponent at an all-out, super-fast speed, a rapid suicide mission, practically a flash delivery.

It can be said that they are quite fearless.

Unfortunately, Zhao Xinghan is not strong enough for Chu Huaixu at this stage.

Chu Huaixu's fingertip stopped in front of his brow, the sword energy only an inch away from him.

Just now, if he wanted to, he could have pierced through his head.

This is similar to the competition Xu Ziqing faced.

It's no longer a matter of victory or defeat, but a matter of life and death!

However, Xiao Xu's control over the bronze sword was extremely poor, putting too much strain on his body.

Chu Huaixu was different; he was very at ease.

Zhao Xinghan's expression shifted constantly, his mood uncertain.

But in the end, all the unbelievable things turned into despair.

"I lost," he said softly.

“Brother Chu has won. Zhao Xinghan concedes defeat and thanks Brother Chu for your guidance.” He spoke with utmost respect and sincerity.

Always proud, he experienced firsthand the gap between himself and people of similar age today.

Chu Huaixu looked at him, nodded slightly, lowered his right hand, and flicked it lightly in the air, causing the sword energy at his fingertips to dissipate.

"You flatter me," he replied.

After so many matches, his only feeling was that these true prodigies were all quite capable of accepting defeat.

At first, I was shocked and incredulous, but in the end, I still managed to maintain a certain level of composure.

To cultivate genius, one needs not only talent, but also temperament.

If you don't even have this much firm Dao heart, what are you doing cultivating the Dao?

Below the arena, everyone was stunned and speechless.

No one expected that this guy who cultivated both sword and body would also have sword intent!

None of the sword cultivators in the Sword Sect, who were extremely passionate about the sword, had ever reached this level.

This guy, who was distracted by body training, actually achieved it?
The faces of all the sword cultivators from the Sword Sect were extremely grim.

Even Situ Cheng on the high platform.

He could sense that Chu Huaixu's sword intent was very special; it was the kind that, to put it nicely, was "ultimate," and to put it bluntly, was "extreme."

"How could a little guy who cultivates both sword and body comprehend such an ultimate understanding!"

This is something he simply cannot understand.

Even when he was young, he couldn't have done this much.

As for his late-blooming Sword Master senior brother, let's not even mention him.

"He wasn't as good as me when he was young."

Chu Huaixu's sword intent was too extreme, even bordering on the extreme, which puzzled Situ Cheng. He felt that such a person should be a pure sword cultivator.

"This is more like the intention of someone who is extremely passionate about the sword, even to the point of absolute trust in their sword, believing that their sword is invincible!"

"Why would such sword intent appear on him?" Situ Cheng frowned.

He really wanted to ask the higher-ups of the Daoist sect, but because of the animosity between the Sword Sect and the Daoist sect in swordsmanship, as well as the long-standing rivalry between them, he was a little embarrassed to speak up.

He glanced down and saw that Geng Tianhe and the others seemed dejected.

This made him even more displeased.

He and the Sword Master of their generation could be said to have surpassed the Daoist sect in swordsmanship.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings. They have a long way to go, and they're already getting discouraged?" he scoffed inwardly.

On the arena, Zhao Xinghan looked at Chu Huaixu, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak.

“Brother Chu, I can tell that you didn’t use your full strength, did you?” he said.

Chu Huaixu looked at him and nodded slightly.

Zhao Xinghan sighed softly, then raised his head again and asked sincerely, "Do you have nine-tenths of your strength?"

Chu Huaixu looked at him without saying a word.

"Eight points?"

Chu Huaixu remained silent.

"Seven out of ten?" Zhao Xinghan's throat was already dry.

But Chu Huaixu remained silent.

At this moment, the other party's Dao heart was indeed somewhat shattered.

"I understand." Zhao Xinghan bowed slightly, looking somewhat dazed as he stepped off the stage.

But soon he smiled helplessly and couldn't help but say something that stunned the Luo Tian Valley disciples around him.

"That's true, I couldn't even force him to draw his sword."

The competition ended, and some were happy while others were sad.

Niu Yuanshan was extremely excited. He never expected that Chu Huaixu would defeat Zhao Xinghan so easily.

If it weren't for the terrifying combat power that Xu Ziqing displayed, he felt that his dream would have come true.

"The final competition of the East-West Continent Grand Tournament is actually between the two Moon Kingdoms! No matter who wins, it will be a victory for our Moon Kingdom!"

In Lao Niu's opinion, it's not impossible.

After all, Xu Ziqing seemed to have suffered a severe backlash in the previous competition.

What if the damage is so severe that it's too late to recover?
Even the servants in the courtyard were a little confused. Why was the steward always smiling and looking so pleased with himself lately?
However, for the participants in the Eastern Continent Grand Competition, after watching the two matches between Xu Ziqing and Chu Huaixu, two dark clouds appeared in their sky.

These two dark clouds seemed to have blocked out the sun, and they could see little hope.

It was noon, and the competition was suspended.

Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang returned to the bamboo house and had a simple lunch.

After returning to his room and sitting down on the meditation cushion, he began to tally up his rewards for this round of tasks.

The 50,000 experience points have been credited to my account, and I've also found a new Xuan-level spell upgrade voucher in my inventory.

"Defeating Zhao Xinghan gave me nearly 20,000 experience points."

"My experience points have now reached 17!"

In addition, the next stage of the main quest, the "East-West Continent Grand Competition," offers incredibly tempting rewards.

Next is the round of 16 to 8. Win one more round and you'll be one of the top eight.

"There will be a reward of 7 experience points and 1 random special attribute point."

Chu Huaixu's overall strength is now too great, and special attribute points are becoming especially important.

"There's nothing we can do; this thing determines the upper limit."

"Take [Comprehension] as an example. I only have [Comprehension 4] right now, and I can't even upgrade the Xuan-level spells to the maximum level because my comprehension is not high enough."

"I need to gain one more point of comprehension to meet this condition."

"The funniest thing is that my [Spirit Gathering] is still only 1." This made him both laugh and cry. But no matter what, his character panel is still very nice.

"The total value of all special attribute points is about the same as when I was in my thirties. It's really incredible."

I have to say, being a cheater is really fun.

Now that he has 17 experience points, he can't just sit idly by.

He immediately upgraded his character by one level to ensure he was ahead of Xiao Xu.

Despite the intense pain coursing through his entire body, Chu Huaixu didn't even flinch.

After transmigrating, he had a series of extraordinary encounters, which made him vaguely feel that his personality seemed to have changed.

Whether it's the "Sword Refining Technique" that raises the pain threshold, the fearless sword intent he later comprehended, or even the small black sword in his sea of ​​consciousness, they all indirectly affect him.

"But people change, don't they?" Chu Huaixu didn't take it too seriously.

Now, he is well aware that he is far beyond the normal first realm, including Han Shuangjiang.

But what if he were to face Xu Ziqing, who wields a sword in his right hand?
—No chance of winning!
"I still need to take advantage of this time to do more tasks and further improve our overall strength," he thought to himself.

He doesn't know whether the gap will still exist by then.

But at least you should do everything you can do well.

The thought of that bronze sword possibly displaying a smug, condescending attitude made Chu Huaixu feel nauseous.

Logically speaking, a person shouldn't hate a sword so much.

But who can blame him when he sees himself as his own sword from a certain perspective?
In the afternoon, Chu Huaixu accompanied Han Shuangjiang to the martial arts arena to watch the other people's matches.

That's what he emphasized anyway, insisting that he was just there to accompany you.

"You need to know yourself and your enemy, but I don't."

"I'm too strong," he said matter-of-factly.

This made Big Ice Block want to refute, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only roll his eyes at him in his heart.

This afternoon, the two men came mainly to watch Kui Muquan's match.

This top player in the first realm of Spring and Autumn Mountain had excellent luck with the draw. The opponents he encountered in the first few rounds were all uniquely weak, so he didn't really reveal his strength.

But today, he drew a senior brother from the Taoist sect named Feng Xiliang.

Previously, in the eyes of the outer disciples, he was second only to Chang Le and Ji Sikong.

However, nowadays, several more names need to be added after the phrase "second only to".
In this competition, Kui Muquan did demonstrate some of his true strength.

He and Jiang Zhi are somewhat similar; both of them follow the path of proving their path through killing.

Because he has a Geng metal spiritual vein in his body, he is born with a murderous aura.

When Chu Huaixu played "Borrowing Swords," he was, after all, a disciple of Chunqiu Mountain, and had some understanding of Kui Muquan.

He didn't actually like this person very much.

Because he "entered the path through madness".

Since their strength is currently weak, it's not yet apparent what they've done, and they'll likely hold back a bit.

As his strength grew, this person became increasingly arrogant and cocky.

Sometimes, he doesn't even give his fellow disciples a friendly look, and he'll even teach them a lesson at the drop of a hat, showing an extremely arrogant attitude.

Especially when activating secret techniques and the Gengjin spiritual vein, one will enter a berserk state during battle.

That would be even crazier.

At this moment, Kui Muquan was dueling with Feng Xiliang. Feng Xiliang's technique seemed to be somewhat restraining him, which made him start to feel a little anxious.

He raised his finger and smeared it over his eyes, turning his pupils a dark red, while a golden mark appeared between his brows.

Sitting on the high platform, Mei Chuxue knew very well what was going to happen next.

She gave a dry laugh, then looked at the group of high-ranking members of the Daoist sect and said, "Sect Leader Xiang, and everyone else, this kid Kui Muquan entered the Daoist path through madness."

"If he speaks rudely later, I hope you will not hold it against him. I will take him back and teach him a lesson."

This can be considered as taking preventative measures in advance.

Make the situation clear first, and it won't be too awkward later.

Knowing Chunqiu Mountain's character, Xiang Yan and the others simply smiled and said, "We understand, we understand."

On the ring, Kui Muquan appeared somewhat mad.

Golden energy began to swirl around his body.

His aura had increased several notches, and his destructive power had doubled.

Feng Xiliang soon found himself unable to hold on any longer.

Kui Muquan slashed at him, and he retreated several steps.

His opponent laughed loudly while continuously swinging his knife, seemingly trying to make him retreat continuously until he fell off the stage.

Feng Xiliang tried to use his movement technique, but the other man found an opening and kicked him in the abdomen.

The Taoist disciple vomited a mouthful of blood, rolled a few times after landing, and fell off the high arena.

Kui Muquan's arrogance had not yet completely dissipated at this moment.

He started yelling while holding the knife.

Seeing this, Mei Chuxue guessed what was going to happen next, and could only sit there and laugh awkwardly a few more times.

Sure enough, the guy whose eyes had turned dark red started yelling.

"Is there anyone from the Daoist sect who dares to come up and fight me?"

"hold head high--!"

On the high platform, Chu Yinyin instantly became displeased.

If it weren't for his bullying behavior, she would have liked to teach him a lesson.

"Don't you even know whose territory this is!" The old woman was furious.

"Is nobody here?!" Kui Muquan continued barking wildly.

This is against the rules, so naturally no one paid any attention to him. How could anyone actually go on stage?
Moreover, Kui Muquan's performance just now was indeed very strong. If an ordinary person were to go up there, they would only humiliate themselves.

But after shouting a few times, he wasn't satisfied and started pointing his knife at people, pointing at several in one go.

"You! Do you dare?"

"you!"

"And you!"

As he pointed, he began to hold up his long sword and point it at the aloof and cold-looking girl in the crowd, Han Shuangjiang, who was frowning.

"Why don't you do it! Huh—!"

Kui Muquan's body circulated with energy, and every time this happened, a wave of energy would rush towards you.

The brows on Big Ice's face furrowed even more, and he was very displeased.

However, a large hand gently tugged at her arm and pulled her back.

Chu Huaixu stepped forward, shielding her behind him and blocking half of her body.

He glanced at Kui Muquan with a faint look in his eyes, his voice not loud, but loud enough for the other to hear.

“What are you barking like a dog?” he said.

Chu Huaixu stared intently into Kui Muquan's dark red pupils, his sword intent beginning to spread, a sharp aura flowing around him.

His astonishing finger-pointing sword strike from that morning suddenly began to replay in Kui Muquan's mind.

This arrogant young man, whose arrogance was now uncontrollable, was stunned for a few seconds and didn't reply for a moment!
