Borrowing a sword

Chapter 152 Please, Brother Chu, bring out your natal sword!
Kui Muquan, who had been barking incessantly, now lay on the ground like a stray dog.

Since the surrounding audience were mostly either Taoists or non-Taoists, they did not approach him due to their disgust for his despicable behavior.

Weren't you very arrogant before?

Why isn't the dog barking anymore?

We're already being lenient by not kicking a man when he's down.

Finally, the other disciples of Chunqiu Mountain squeezed out of the crowd, went forward to check on his injuries, and helped Kui Muquan to the other side.

On the high platform, Teng Lingyi looked at Mei Chuxue and asked, "Aren't you going to check on his injuries?"

"It's alright, it's good to learn a lesson," Mei Chuxue said.

She continued, "Kui Muquan entered the Dao through madness, and his life in the Spring and Autumn Mountains was far too smooth."

“Now, a setback is good, let’s see if he will be crushed or continue to be arrogant,” Mei Chuxue said.

All the seeded players have been eliminated, and she's starting to give up.

Why not just accept it as a learning experience? You might just learn from your mistakes and grow stronger.

At this moment, she and Teng Lingyi felt a sense of shared misfortune.

Of the three sects' most talented disciples, only Geng Tianhe remains.

Therefore, Mei Chuxue and Teng Lingyi naturally hoped he would lose!
We absolutely cannot win this.

If we lose face, then all three of our sects will lose face together.

Moreover, these two cultivators at the eighth realm admired Chu Huaixu even more.

Mei Chuxue was purely attracted by his looks, while Teng Lingyi was curious about his martial arts techniques.

However, Geng Tianhe has not shown up yet and is still in seclusion, making the most of every minute.

Xiang Yan and the others couldn't help but think, "It seems that, as Situ Cheng said, he will not show himself until just before the competition begins."

Han Shuangjiang slowly walked down from the arena.

She has returned to her original appearance.

However, she always felt a little uncomfortable and slightly dizzy at such times.

Fortunately, the discomfort will dissipate after a while.

In her eyes, that black and white world had been completely restored to its original state.

No longer is Chu Huaixu the only one alive; the whole world has regained its color.

But so what?
She had already realized his special nature.

For Han Shuangjiang, once she entered that realm of feeling, it was as if she were looking down from a high place at the cycle of all things in the world.

But the Chu Huai Preface is different.

He accompanied her through a cycle of reincarnation in the secret realm of tree rings.

"A beautiful and decisive victory," Chu Huaixu turned to look at her and praised her softly.

He was well aware that the psychological pressure exerted by the Samsara Sword Intent was actually very strong.

You will feel that the person in front of you is truly like a celestial being!
Those emotionless eyes, that utter indifference, exuded a palpable sense of oppression.

But fortunately, he was fearless.

Han Shuangjiang listened to his praise, but she was not too proud. Instead, she said softly, "You know, it would be difficult for me to swing that sword a second time."

"It doesn't matter, they can't stop your sword anyway, can they?" Chu Huaixu said.

He had actually realized long ago that Big Ice Cube, this guy who got the female lead role, always felt he wasn't good enough and would always be stirring things up in the shadows.

Unlike him, who can gloat for a long time after showing off.

"You're not even happy showing off!" He was utterly astonished.

This is so fucking against human nature!
The competition continued in this manner, one match after another, but unfortunately, none of them were as exciting as the one featuring Han Shuangjiang.

When it was almost Xiao Xu's turn to go on stage, he arrived late, carrying the huge sword box on his back, and came to the martial arts arena alone.

As soon as he appeared, many people couldn't help but look at his left hand.

"It's completely healed so quickly?"

"It doesn't seem like there are any hidden injuries."

People have already begun to mourn for his opponent.

As long as Xu Ziqing has the bronze sword in his hand, and as long as he can still deliver a blow that cripples his own left arm, how could his opponent possibly withstand it!

Many people are already comparing his sword strike with Han Shuangjiang's sword strike just now.

"I wonder who will win between the two of them?" Everyone wondered.

Regardless of the circumstances, the thought that this year's Eastern Continent Grand Competition might end up as an internal conflict within the Daoist sect makes Daoist disciples unable to help but stand tall in front of outsiders.

Having served as the host of this competition and achieved such results, everyone must feel proud and honored!

As soon as Xu Ziqing arrived at the training ground, she began searching for her senior brother.

Upon seeing Chu Huaixu, he kept saying, "Excuse me."

"Senior brother." He bowed respectfully.

Then, he said to Han Shuangjiang, "Senior Sister Han."

Chu Huaixu looked at the boy and asked, "Xiao Xu, how is your injury healing?"

"Thanks to the pills Senior Situ gave me that day, I'm completely healed and there are no lingering problems," he replied in detail.

Chu Huaixu nodded and said, "If conditions permit, it's best not to use the sword too frequently."

In his opinion, even if it was body tempering, one shouldn't be torturing one's left hand so frequently in such a short period of time.

Are you really going to use it like a superhuman arm?
“Okay, I understand,” the handsome young man said immediately, as if he had received a royal decree.

The competition officially began, and Xu Ziqing stepped onto the stage.

When the disciple who was competing with him bowed to him, he looked at the other's sword case and already felt that he had lost.

This person was constantly agitated and kept staring at the huge sword box throughout the duel.

It was as if he had been waiting for Xu Ziqing to use his sword, and then he would close his eyes and resign himself to death.

How can one confront others in this state?

As a result, the female cultivator from Luotian Valley named Feng Qiushui was riddled with flaws, which the handsome young man repeatedly exploited. In the end, she won the match without even using her bronze sword. Below the arena, if the audience hadn't been so well-mannered, there would probably have been a chorus of boos.

"It's not exciting at all! Not exciting at all!"

"We should at least force him to open the sword case!"

"It feels like we've already resigned ourselves to fate, so why not just admit defeat? What's the point of fighting anymore?"

The defeated Feng Qiushui was also a little embarrassed, never expecting that she would end up like this.

On the high platform, Teng Lingyi's face looked very unpleasant.

This is the only remaining survivor of Luotian Valley.

It's okay to lose, but not in this way!

Teng Lingyi thought to herself, "When we get back, I really need to teach them a lesson!"

This is a disgrace to Luo Tian Valley!
On the contrary, the boy on the stage remained incredibly sincere even after winning the competition.

He cupped his hands and said, "Senior Sister Feng, you seem to have some reservations and did not go all out. It is not fair for Ziqing to win."

"If I have the chance, I would like to ask you for advice," he said.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiushui couldn't help but give him a deep look.

She felt that although this junior brother looked like a man with a woman's appearance, he was actually a few times prettier than her, but he was indeed very elegant.

Time passed, and the competitions continued one after another.

Soon, it was Chu Huaixu's turn to face off against Geng Tianhe.

This is the highlight that countless people have been looking forward to today.

However, Geng Tianhe has yet to show up.

With time running out, Chu Huaixu stepped onto the arena.

He stood alone on the stage, looking around.

If the opponent does not appear by the appointed time, then he has won without a fight.

On the high platform, even Xiang Yan couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Situ, has your junior not yet broken through his cultivation?"

Situ Cheng frowned deeply: "I don't know either, maybe something went wrong?"

"Then why don't you go take a look?" Xiang Yan said in the most gentle way possible, using the most unpleasant voice.

This sword cultivator, ranked second among the Four Divine Swords, spread out his divine sense.

Then he said, "No need, he's already here."

In the distance, someone used their movement technique to arrive at the training ground almost at the perfect moment.

Geng Tianhe looks very different today compared to before.

He wasn't exactly disheveled, but his collar was definitely a bit messy.

His hair was disheveled and his eyes were bloodshot.

More importantly, the aura emanating from him is now extremely chaotic.

A prodigy like him should usually keep his aura hidden.

However, at this moment, Geng Tianhe's vital energy seemed to be in serious trouble.

It's easy to imagine that the spiritual energy within him was probably somewhat chaotic.

Chu Huaixu looked at him and asked directly, "What's wrong with you?"

Geng Tianhe raised his head and stared straight at him, saying, "Brother Chu, I originally wanted to fully comprehend the Great River Sword Intent before this competition."

"But it always falls short of the final step, and it just won't get to the door!"

"I'm forcibly breaking through this barrier now, just to fight you!"

"I can tell you directly, my purpose is to borrow your sword intent so that I can take this final step!"

"I wonder if Brother Chu would be willing to grant my request!" He raised his fists and bowed forcefully to Chu Huaixu.

Chu Huaixu smiled indifferently and said, "This competition is going to happen eventually, so what's the point of saying yes or no?"

If you want to use me as a whetstone, then come on.

Unexpectedly, seeing that this meant he agreed, Geng Tianhe cupped his hands again, his attitude extremely sincere. His bloodshot eyes, however, were fixed on Chu Huaixu as he spoke loudly:
"Then, Brother Chu, please draw your sword!"

He risked going mad by forcibly breaking through the barrier, which was actually a bit of an extreme approach.

In this situation, he wanted to see Chu Huaixu's sword!
If he were to compete against his opponent in this Eastern Continent Grand Competition and not even be able to see his opponent's sword, then he would be unwilling to accept it!

Even if he suffers a crushing defeat under the sword later, or is even completely overwhelmed, he will be willing to accept it.

A commotion instantly erupted below the arena.

In fact, the onlookers naturally wanted to witness Chu Huaixu's natal sword with their own eyes!

There's no way around it, this guy has just too many gimmicks.

He overcame all obstacles along the way. At first, it was thought that he was a pure body cultivator, but later he turned into a dual cultivator of sword and body.

But from beginning to end, no one ever saw his sword.

He had piqued everyone's curiosity and whetted their appetites.

Even on the high platform, Situ Cheng and the others stared intently at the young man in black robes.

They were also curious about what kind of sword Chu Huaixu would have.

Seeing that the other party hesitated for a moment and did not respond, Geng Tianhe couldn't help but cup his hands again, his attitude becoming even more sincere, and said loudly:

"Geng Tianhe challenges Brother Chu to a sword duel!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu looked at him for a long while, and finally, he sighed helplessly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he raised his hand and gently patted the storage token at his waist, taking out an item from it.

Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, a simple black sword sheath appeared in his hand.
