Borrowing a sword

Chapter 171 A Hundred-Year-Old Remnant Soul, I Sever It Myself!
On the high platform, the master weapon refiner Nangong Yue felt somewhat ashamed.

Because Chu Huaixu's black and gold robe was made by her.

Another master craftsman, Mei Chuxue, immediately chuckled.

"Elder Nangong, the robe he's wearing, you probably made it, right?"

"I never imagined you'd copied the design from the Moon Kingdom?"

With a gentle and graceful demeanor, Nangong Yue blushed slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Mei is joking. The clothing in the Moon Kingdom has indeed always been more fashionable than that in our Mirror Kingdom. I just happened to see it and subconsciously made it like this."

Although Mei Chuxue and she disliked each other, this was, after all, the territory of the Daoist sect, so she didn't dare to say anything more and just take advantage of the situation.

She knew that Nangong Yue was a master craftsman with her own aesthetic sense, and she always had extremely high requirements for the appearance of the magical artifacts she produced.

However, she herself usually dresses very simply.

So much so that she often suspected that she was the complete opposite of herself, a repressed slut.

Although Chu Yinyin has always been afraid of milk, she clearly stood up for Nangong Yue at this moment.

"Mei Chuxue, why are you saying all this? Even if the styles are similar, so what? I just think that this Prince Rui, who is said to be very handsome, is not as good-looking as our Chu Huaixu!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Chuxue glanced at the two men in black robes on the arena and smiled faintly, "You can't say that, after all, they're not the same type. You can only say they each have their own strengths."

"Why are you speaking up for the people of Yue Kingdom?" Chu Yinyin was immediately displeased, completely ignoring the fact that Eunuch Li and the others from Yue Kingdom were also sitting on the stage.

The eighth-realm cultivator, dressed in a fiery red dress, felt somewhat helpless upon hearing her unrestrained speech and could only say:
“Hey! Don’t jump to conclusions right away. From a personal perspective, I also think Huai Xu is more handsome.”

She addressed him affectionately, even omitting his surname.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yinyin felt even more unhappy, even though the other party was on Chu Huaixu's side.

—I don't even call him Huaixu!

On the arena, the two young men in black robes, who were somewhat similarly dressed, were sizing each other up.

Chu Huaixu's attitude made the Crown Prince of Rui feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The people in the organization have long been trained to be extremely servile.

Even Lao Niu didn't dare to look him in the eye back then!
But he was soon relieved.

"After all, this is a competition within the Taoist sect, so he has to play the role of the leader of the Eastern Continent."

Qin Xuanxiao was determined to obtain the position of leader of Xuanhuang.

He was a typical superior person, someone who knew of the existence of the [Original Spirit Realm].

"The origin of heaven and earth, the Great Dao of the Nine Realms, belongs to me alone!" he thought to himself.

After learning that his opponent was actually someone from the "organization," Qin Xuanxiao was basically completely relieved.

How dare the royal guards and the court's henchmen act so presumptuously in front of him?
"Even if he were as powerful as the storyteller described, he wouldn't dare to defeat me!" Qin Xuanxiao was certain of this.

Unless he's not Huo Dingyi at all, and not a member of the [organization] at all!

Otherwise, it has nothing to do with whether you are talented or not, or whether you are valued in the Taoist sect.

Because for the people in this organization, their lives revolve around just six words—loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!
Chu Huaixu looked at him and felt that the other party had a very high attitude.

Moreover, the way they were looking at him made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He was originally a professional entertainer, so he was incredibly perceptive about many things.

This is, after all, a service industry.

Sometimes, even though some bosses are highly qualified and speak politely, you can still sense the disdain and inequality in their eyes.

He has high professional ethics and doesn't mind it, after all, they are his bread and butter.

Make money, not shabby.

However, what Chu Huaixu sees now is somewhat different.

"It's like the master is looking at the servant!"

That look is very similar to the look that Deacon Liu Tianfeng from the outer sect gave Xiao Xu when he brought him here as a handyman.

This gave Chu Huaixu a vague idea in his mind.

There's a chance he knows I was sent by the organization.

"That's going to be difficult," he thought.

Before the competition officially began, Qin Xuanxiao looked at the sword sheath in Chu Huaixu's hand with curiosity.

"I heard many rumors about you on my way here."

"I didn't expect that you really were holding a scabbard, with no sword in your hand."

"Is he deliberately imitating the Taoist Ancestor?" he asked.

"No." Chu Huaixu shook his head.

His transformation into the "Swordless One" was purely by chance.

I never intended to become a swordsman.

"Oh? So you cultivate both sword and body, but use the sword sheath as your natal magic weapon. What is the meaning of that?" Qin Xuanxiao was quite curious.

Many people who are used to being in a position of authority are like this; if there's something they want to understand, they'll just ask directly.

Because normally no one dares not answer.

Furthermore, many people in positions of authority like to use questions when speaking to others.

Many insecure people are ashamed to speak up and will only observe secretly and then guess.

Just as Chu Huaixu was about to say something, a voice rang out from below the arena.

"Don't you understand?"

"For Brother Chu, what cannot be a sword!"

"Even others are the sword!"

Geng Tianhe, who also did not return to the Sword Sect, shouted loudly from below.

Chu Huai Preface: "."

Why the hell did you have to answer first?

I'll put on my own act!

He now has a vague feeling that this guy, who should have been Han Shuangjiang's sycophant, is now showing signs of becoming his supporter.

"Why is it that your life scripts are all so off?" he said with a sense of helplessness.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince Rui's eyes lit up.

"Can everything be a sword?"

“Even man is a sword.”

"Interesting, quite interesting. It sounds a lot like something a certain eighth-realm sword cultivator once told me." He nodded slightly and offered his comment.

Chu Huaixu looked at him, and seeing his expression, suddenly grinned.

This felt incredibly familiar to Ding Bolin, who was standing below the stage.

Because that's how he smiled that day when we faced off in the ring!
He still doesn't know that it was only because he was on the casino's betting list that he ended up on Chu Huaixu's "Kill List".

Before the competition officially began, Chu Huaixu and Qin Xuanxiao exchanged greetings. "Brother Chu, please enlighten me."

"Your Highness, please enlighten me."

The next moment, a long spear appeared in Qin Xuanxiao's hand.

On the high platform, a great cultivator immediately recognized him.

"【Emperor Moon】?"

"The natal spiritual artifact of the founding emperor of the Moon Kingdom!"

"The rumors are true!"

Chu Huaixu naturally knew what the superior-grade spiritual artifact in his hand was.

"I remember that within his spear, there was a wisp of the Emperor's divine will," he thought to himself.

"It can forcibly elevate his [artistic conception]."

"Even without comprehending the essence of the spear, one can still achieve the effect of the spear's essence."

"If one has already grasped it, one can be elevated to the level of minor mastery of spear intent."

"It's like adding a level, which is pretty abnormal."

Of course, this is just his cheat code.

Chu Huaixu knew very well that the reason why Qin Xuanxiao's performance in the arena was practically cheating was mainly because of the petite girl wearing a veil sitting on the high platform!
This woman is Lin Zixuan, the second protagonist of the Western Continent.

If Han Shuangjiang is playing the role of a leading lady, then Lin Zixuan is more like the domineering CEO's pampered wife.

"This girl is a god-tier support player."

"Although she is not personally participating in the game, she can share the perspective with Qin Xuanxiao through her own secret technique."

"In other words, there's another pair of eyes watching me."

"Besides that, she can also share spiritual power with him!"

"This is fucking cheating," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

Although not all the spiritual power in one's body can be shared, even half of it would be terrifying.

As the main characters of the world, both of them must be cultivating Heaven-rank techniques.

The spiritual power within them was inherently more surging than that of cultivators at the same level.

Based on this, Qin Xuanxiao also has his own "spiritual power loan".

If you don't have enough, just borrow from her.
It may seem like a one-on-one fight, but it's not actually one.

Of course, Lin Zixuan is called a god-level support because her abilities are definitely not limited to this.

However, since she cannot personally participate in the competition, her limitations are ultimately unavoidable.

To be precise, she didn't need to do any of this herself; Qin Xuanxiao only needed to use a secret technique.

Since he was the one performing the secret technique, it's somewhat like skirting the rules.

Chu Huaixu would keep these things in mind.

In addition, he also thought to himself, "What remains in the [Emperor Moon] is a wisp of divine thought of the founding emperor of the Moon Kingdom."

"Since it's divine thought," he suddenly smiled and decided to give it a try.

Qin Xuanxiao held a gun in one hand and strode forward.

The dark purple spear began to spin and shimmer.

The spear's force surged forward, and Chu Huaixu used [Flying Profound] to dodge.

A dark purple, bewitching flame began to emerge at the tip of [Emperor Moon]'s spear, then spread backward until the entire spearhead was ablaze.

"Wow, he's using his signature technique, [Unquenchable Fire], right off the bat?" Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

As the name suggests, once this dark purple flame touches you, it is extremely difficult to extinguish!

He didn't make a move, he just dodged, wanting to see what kind of effect would be achieved after Qin Xuanxiao and Lin Zixuan shared their vision.

He's not just testing his abilities now!

He was testing the two main characters of the Western Continent in one go!
I must say, there's definitely something special about god-tier support players.

Chu Huaixu's [Flying Profound] technique has already reached its peak. Logically speaking, his afterimage shouldn't be able to be captured.

But Qin Xuanxiao managed to capture him!

As the spear came hurtling towards him, the body cultivator simply raised his right hand and used only his physical body to block it.

The "Unextinguishable fire" instantly began to burn in his palm.

"It's alright, the burning sensation is about the same as a regular flame," Chu Huaixu commented in his mind.

What followed was a shocking scene.

Many viewers felt their scalp tingling.

In the blink of an eye, the moment the [Unquenchable Fire] touched his palm, Chu Huaixu unleashed his fingertip sword energy, slicing off a layer of flesh.

He hadn't yet found a way to extinguish it; the purple flames were rather malevolent.

But it doesn't matter, just cut off the part that's on fire.

The flames won't spread then.

Let's address the problem directly at its root.

The methods of physical cultivation are always so simple and unrefined.

What's even more outrageous is that he seemed to have no sense of pain, and his expression remained completely unchanged.

Just as Qin Xuanxiao was somewhat stunned, Chu Huaixu began to activate his spiritual power to envelop the flesh that was stained with the Undying Flame.

True Qi was thus generated. He seized this wisp of flame from the other party through the True Qi, and then...
——A flick of the finger!
With a flick of the fingertips, the opponent's own methods are used against them!

"What domineering true energy!" Qin Xuanxiao was startled and immediately raised his spear to block.

What struck him as even stranger was that, despite being true qi, it contained sword intent!
He began to understand the saying—what cannot be a sword!
I also understand the saying—man is sword!
Since he himself is a sword, then every move he makes is a sword move.

Qin Xuanxiao had actually grasped the essence of the spear when he entered the imperial tomb to comprehend it.

But at this moment, he still intended to use the wisp of the Emperor's divine will within the gun.

In this way, he would not have just entered the realm of spear intent, but would have reached the level of minor accomplishment, one level above Chu Huaixu.

He wanted to use the force of a storm and the speed of a swift, decisive battle to achieve a swift victory!

Chu Huaixu had actually noticed this as well.

The small black sword within his sea of ​​consciousness began to display its divine power.

—【The sword severs the flesh, the heart severs the soul!】
What is there that cannot be severed from the remnants of divine will from hundreds of years ago?!

Let me test your status as the founding emperor of the Moon Kingdom!

"Heart Sword!" Chu Huaixu and the sword became one, and he could activate it with a single thought.

As Qin Xuanxiao was merging with this wisp of divine thought, he suddenly let out a surprised exclamation.

Because the wisp of divine thought of the Emperor that surged from the gun was directly repelled by a force that came from nowhere!
