Borrowing a sword

Chapter 249 It's not that he's weak, it's that I'm too strong.

A light drizzle continued to fall inside the dense forest.

Niu Yuanshan fell into a brief daze, and even the pain from his wounds seemed to lessen.

In just one year, this young man learned the basics on his own, having only been a member of the Taoist sect for a year!
But his combat strength has clearly surpassed mine.
Just a year ago, he needed my protection.

This caused the old ox to fall into a brief daze again.

The wind blew through the rainy day, ruffling Chu Huaixu's long hair.

The golden flames in his eyes began to intensify, and the firelight became even hotter!
The Taoist master floating in the air was actually keeping a close eye on the battle below, fearing that something might go wrong.

Therefore, Chu Huaixu's punch just now was entirely within his divine sense.

This inner sect master was filled with a tremendous surge of emotions!

He knew one thing very well: if I were at the same level as him, I would have been dead from that punch!
No one expected that the situation would change so drastically after a cultivator who had just entered the third realm joined the battle!

This Taoist master had already realized that he no longer needed to be distracted.

This punch is undoubtedly telling you: I'm here for you, you can go all out!

This Taoist master, who appeared to be in his thirties, burst into loud laughter: "You vile and heretical cultivator, come and meet your death!"

His offensive instantly intensified!

The fourth-realm evil cultivator who had been blasted back by Chu Huaixu's punch had already frowned deeply, his face filled with disbelief.

"Physical training?"

"You're a body cultivator!"

This evil cultivator, named Ge Tian, ​​whose lips were exceptionally thin, simply couldn't believe that there could be such a powerful body cultivator in the world!
How could a crude body cultivator possibly cross a major realm and force me back with a single punch!
"Who are you?!" he shouted.

The evil cultivator Ge Tian looked at the black sword sheath on the other person's back and suddenly thought of something.

The young man standing opposite him spoke calmly:
"Taoist School, Chu Huai Preface".

This perfectly matches Ge Tian's guess.

—Preface to the Xuanhuang Kui Shou Chu Huai!

That legendary strongest being in the world, the number one realm!
How could he have reached the third realm in such a short time?

How can his cultivation speed be so much faster than us evil cultivators!
"It's only been a little over three months since the East-West Continent Competition ended!" he thought to himself.

Even more outrageous, the morale of the Taoist sect changed instantly after this young man in black robes appeared.

After he forced himself back with a punch, Ge Tian heard Taoist disciples shouting, "Kill—!"

They launched a counterattack immediately, as if none of them were afraid anymore!

Chu Huaixu's figure flashed again at this moment; he couldn't waste any more time.

The duration of the Holy Body state is finite.

"Today we can try killing someone across a major realm and see just how difficult it is!"

Don't be fooled by the fact that this heretical cultivator has reached the second level of the fourth realm; he's probably only about the same as a Taoist disciple who has just entered the fourth realm.

Chu Huaixu decided to use him as a test.

He turned his head to look behind him and saw that several outer disciples were seriously injured and no longer able to fight. They were being protected by the other disciples.

He called out to the group, "Are there any senior brothers or sisters willing to lend me their swords?"

Immediately, a seriously injured senior sister said, "Chief Chu, if you don't mind, you can take it!"

She threw out her mid-grade spirit sword.

"Then thank you, senior sister."

Chu Huaixu took it with one hand, but did not let the Heart Sword enter it.

A mid-grade spirit sword is really too bad!

As his cultivation level increased, his Heart Sword also grew stronger.

Its constant in-and-out movement could easily damage the spirit sword and its spirit.

This is someone's personal treasure; there's no need to mess with it like this.

This longsword is very similar to an ordinary Qingfeng sword, except that there is a yellow stripe in the very center of the blade.

The moment the spirit sword entered his hand, it emitted an extremely loud sword cry!
The seriously injured senior sister's eyes were full of surprise.

She could sense how excited and thrilled her natal spirit was at that moment.

It was as if being used by him was the greatest honor for this sword!

She had absolutely no idea why this was happening.

But the reverence in his eyes for Chu Huaixu only grew stronger.

After obtaining the sword, Chu Huaixu immediately unleashed his full power.

Whether it was the fearless sword intent that had reached a minor level of mastery or the sword heart that had reached a great perfection, both were activated immediately.

The power of the Heart Sword is also incorporated into this move.

Of course, there's also his physical strength!
Moreover, since his opponent was at least a fourth-realm cultivator, he immediately unleashed his killing move—[Six Out of Horizon]—to show respect!
Several powerful forces merged into this sword strike.

His bones began to crack, and his flesh began to split, spurting blood.

This is the characteristic of this evil sword technique: it injures the user first, then the user!
But the power of this sword made Niu Yuanshan, who was standing behind him, tremble with fear instantly.

Even the fifth-realm evil cultivator floating in the air was drawn in and couldn't help but exclaim, "Not good!"

He tried to reach out to stop him, but was slashed back by the Daoist master's sword energy.

“Your opponent is me!” he shouted.

Chu Huaixu's sword strike was incredibly fast.

In his haste, the evil cultivator Ge Tian raised his halberd to block.

As the weapons clashed, he instantly spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

A line of blood ran from his forehead down to his chest!
The wound is very deep, about half a finger deep!

Chu Huaixu immediately followed up with another Finger Lightning. Immediately afterward, he heard a system notification.

"[Ding! You have gained 121284 experience points for killing a second-level evil cultivator of the fourth realm.]"

"So weak?" Chu Huaixu was surprised.

But soon, everything returned to calm.

He realized: "It's not that he's weak, it's that I'm too strong."

The situation was thus reversed.

Chu Huaixu began to slaughter recklessly and reap savagely, as if he had lost his mind.

Experience points, experience points, all experience points!
Before long, he had gained nearly 40 experience points!
"Leveling up is great; higher-level monsters give more experience points," he thought to himself.

The Taoist reinforcements continued to arrive one after another.

This made Chu Huaixu very anxious. He wished he could tell everyone to step back and challenge all the weaklings by himself!

By the time everything settled down, he had gained a total of 48 experience points.

The fifth-realm cultivator descended from the sky and looked at Chu Huaixu with great admiration.

"My name is Ye Ge. I guess it won't be long before I'm calling you Junior Brother Chu, right?"

"No, perhaps I should call you Chu Zhenchuan." Ye Ge smiled. "You are very strong, and in a way that is incomprehensible."

"Senior brother, you flatter me," Chu Huaixu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

After exchanging a few more words, Ye Ge seemed eager to fly back to the Daoist sect to report on the matter.
After giving a few brief instructions, he flew away.

The drizzle was still falling. Chu Huaixu turned to look at Niu Yuanshan and asked with concern, "Steward Niu, are you alright with your injuries?"

"It's alright, the injury isn't serious." Old Niu shook his head, inexplicably starting to resist the other party's concern again.

Seeing him like this, Chu Huaixu insisted on casting the [Southern Flowing Scenery] spell on him.

There's nothing we can do; that's just the kind of person he is.

The big ice block was icy cold, and he liked to tease her about it.

The head master was a stutterer and would avoid speaking as much as possible, so he would try every means to get her to speak.

Old Niu, I think you're really stuck in a rut, aren't you?
Hehehe, just wait until I treat you like an elder, I'll make you suffer the most!

Chu Huaixu immediately showed his meticulous concern.

This left Lao Niu with incredibly mixed feelings—a little uneasy, a little upset, but also inexplicably somewhat relieved.
Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing stood aside, observing the situation.

The cold-faced girl keenly noticed: "Butler Niu's attitude towards that dead fox seems a bit subtle, a little different from before, but there's something else I can't quite put my finger on."

Xu Ziqing continued to perform steadily. Seeing his senior brother taking good care of the steward, he felt that his senior brother was of noble character.

After treating Niu Yuanshan's injuries, Chu Huaixu began to stabilize the injuries of the other seriously wounded Taoist disciples.

After completing these tasks, everyone set off to return to their sect.

On the way back, Lao Niu seemed to be preoccupied.

The strength Chu Huaixu displayed today is simply too incredible.

"If my Moon Kingdom has such a prodigy, it would truly be a blessing for my Moon Kingdom," he thought to himself.

Niu Yuanshan was now convinced that as long as this young man was given time, he would surely stand at the very top of the cultivation world in the future!

But the more this happened, the more complicated his feelings became.

What he found even harder to accept was: "He saved Junior Sister Mo before, and now he's indirectly saved me."

He knew very well that if no one came to his aid, he would be half-dead even if he didn't die today.

"I owe him more and more," the old ox thought to himself.

After returning to the Taoist sect, the group was required to report back to the disciples' quarters according to the rules.

"You may all go in first," Niu Yuanshan instructed, standing outside the disciples' courtyard.

"Yes." The outer disciples accepted the order.

Chu Huaixu stood still and did not go inside.

Judging from his posture, it was clear that he wanted to chat with Lao Niu for a bit.

However, neither of them knew how to start the conversation.

This resulted in an extremely silent atmosphere for a moment.

After a long while, Niu Yuanshan looked at Huo Dingyi, the boy he had once placed high hopes on, and said:

"Preface to the Chu Huai Poems, alas."

In the end, all he could do was let out a long sigh.

Chu Huaixu looked at him calmly and said, "Steward Niu, I know what you're thinking."

"You may already think I'm a special person, but perhaps you're still underestimating how special I am," he said, uttering these slightly mystical words.

I am the most special person in the world right now, facing a great calamity.

Upon hearing this, Niu Yuanshan, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looked somewhat bewildered.

"Perhaps in your eyes, I have already made my choice."

Chu Huaixu paused for a moment, then did not continue.

What he meant was, perhaps in your eyes, I didn't choose the organization, but chose the Taoist sect.

“But I’ve never been looking at just one sect or school.”

"It's not a single country."

"It is not a single continent either."

Having said all he needed to say, Chu Huaixu bowed and performed the disciple's salute as usual, then stepped into the courtyard.
