Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Su Baichen is young, which is a disadvantage; he can't intimidate anyone.

However, at the age of twelve, he was already nearly 1.6 meters tall, and if he continued to grow strong, he would surely become a tall and imposing man.

He didn't pay much attention to the sword strikes from the Qi-surnamed swordsman... Of course, even if he did care, he didn't have any good ways to respond.

The problem of insufficient response due to poor circulation of Qi still exists, but he actually has his own solutions to this problem.

That is: since it is impossible to break down the Qi circulation route in a short time to respond with a single move, why not just use all the complete Qi circulation routes of a set of sword moves in one go?

Therefore, as he raised his hand, his two fingers came together and moved swiftly, thus activating the profound Yin spiritual energy stored in his bones, which was then used to complete a set of sword techniques and refine it into sharp sword energy.

As soon as he pointed his finger, a flower of sword energy bloomed at his fingertip...

The next moment, the sword blossomed, and with a crisp "ding," the sword energy of the Qi-surnamed swordsman was shattered.

Because it is composed of Xuan Yin spiritual energy, this sword energy flower is as black as ink, like a blooming lotus, looking both serene and dangerous.

As the sword flower appeared, the swordsman surnamed Qi felt his soul tremble and hurriedly retreated.

"The Falling Flower Divine Sword?!"

The swordsman suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

He stared intently at the sword flower blooming from Su Baichen's fingertips, as if he were witnessing some kind of miracle.

As he exclaimed in surprise, the sword flower, seemingly slow but actually swift, landed in front of the Qi-surnamed swordsman.

The swordsman surnamed Qi felt extremely dangerous at this moment. He could retreat or dodge, but the seemingly calm sword flowers in front of him were like a bomb that could explode at any moment.

His years of martial arts experience told him that he could not retreat at this moment, for retreat meant certain death!

So he suddenly took a small step forward, his blade gleaming with power, and then slashed at the sword flower with the force of splitting a mountain...

The moment the two touched, the sword flower suddenly exploded, like fallen flowers, the layers of petals instantly unraveling, scattering a dense woven sword aura.

The swordsman surnamed Qi wielded a precious sword.

But at this moment, it was subjected to the impact of countless sword energies.

The sword energy that originally clung to its blade had long been destroyed.

A moment later, the swordsman surnamed Qi let out a mournful cry.

It was then engulfed by the spreading sword energy...

The next moment, he collapsed to the ground, covered in fine wounds.

He was still able to breathe, after all, Su Baichen had no intention of killing him.

The swordsman exclaimed in surprise, "What is your relationship with the legendary Fallen Flower Goddess who was famous throughout the martial arts world two hundred years ago?"

Su Baichen looked blank for a moment, then said frankly, "Never heard of it."

Then she looked at Zhou Cong and asked, "Are you leaving on your own, or should I ask you to leave?"

Zhou Cong exclaimed in shock and anger, "Attack together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his servants shouted and rushed forward.

Just then, Su Baichen flicked his fingers repeatedly, unleashing a torrent of sword energy.

This is truly an unreasonable scene.

"Swift Wind Sword" was originally just a fast sword technique.

They pursued extreme speed, but had no techniques to unleash sword energy.

However, for Su Baichen, it was a little different... for no other reason than that, to him, it was all an illusion!

What appeared to be a dense barrage of sword energy was actually an illusion he had created!

It's not just a deceptively realistic illusion, but an illusion that makes the unreal appear real!

The third level of the Illusionary Yin Eight Transformations... After returning to the mortal world and training for several months, Su Baichen pushed his illusionary arts level forward by one level.

Those servants, covered by the rain of illusory swords, soon collapsed to the ground, wailing and crying out in pain.

They all felt as if they had been struck by sword energy in multiple places, experiencing excruciating pain as if they had been stabbed in the skin.

This is how the illusory becomes real; the illusory sword energy falling on them actually produced real pain.

If such illusory sword energy can cause real wounds when it lands on a person, then one has entered the second stage of the Illusory Yin Eight Transformations, the realm of illusory reality.

Even with Su Baichen's exceptional talent in illusion magic, he would normally need to remain at the fourth-grade, seemingly real yet illusory realm for a period of time to accumulate experience. But who could blame him for his sudden enlightenment caused by Qing Mozi's death?

After a moment of sudden enlightenment, coupled with a period of secluded cultivation and comprehension, he finally brought his illusionary arts cultivation to the third rank, where he could transform illusion into reality.

Within this third rank, his illusion technique can already be considered a trump card.

"This is no ordinary method; could it be that a sword immortal was not present?"

Even Zhou Cong was terrified this time; the scene was truly frightening.

However, the golden-crowned Taoist priest said in a deep voice, "Second Young Master, do not be anxious, this is an illusion."

"It's merely an extremely sophisticated illusion. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Illusionary Yin Eight Transformations of the Yin Fu Sect of Changchun Palace... May I ask, young friend, are you a disciple of the Yin Fu Sect?"

Su Baichen did not respond.

He didn't want to answer that question, as it might cause trouble for his sect.

The golden-crowned Taoist priest, upon seeing this, actually breathed a sigh of relief.

"So he really is a disciple of a major sect."

"Given your young age and such mastery of illusion techniques, you will surely become a prodigy in the future."

"Changchun Palace has never interfered in worldly affairs. I wonder why you are obstructing court matters this time, young friend?"

Su Baichen was stumped by the question and couldn't answer it for a moment.

He couldn't help but wonder... When he came down the mountain, it seemed that no one had told him what he couldn't do and what he could do.

Only Feng Linzi taught him to show his cultivation level less in front of mortals and to avoid getting involved in karma.

Other than that, his teachers taught him to have clear thoughts and to have his own pursuits...

Then, he suddenly laughed heartily: "My teacher is magnanimous; he only asks that I act with a clear conscience."

"Now that I see you acting this way, if I do not stop you, it would be a sign that my mind is not clear and my thoughts are not in harmony."

This time, Zhou Cong also toned down some of his spoiled habits. He looked at Su Baichen and said, "You obstructed important matters of the imperial court, which is a crime of treason. No matter which sect or faction you belong to, you are nothing but a demon!"

"Master Golden Crown, is there any way to break his illusion?"

The Golden Crown Taoist was a very experienced and self-aware rogue cultivator. He said, "Since he is a disciple of Changchun Palace, it is not appropriate for me to make an enemy of him."

"Since it's an illusion, as long as your will is unwavering, you'll be fine."

Although he said he didn't want to get involved, the Golden Crown Taoist actually pointed out the key to dealing with illusions.

The swordsman immediately stepped forward with a bright look in his eyes and said, "I'll take care of it. You protect the second young master."

The gunman immediately stepped back to protect Zhou Cong.

Zhou Cong asked somewhat uneasily, "Master Xie, are you sure you can succeed?"

The swordsman surnamed Xie replied in a deep voice, "What I seek in this life is the ultimate way of the sword."

"I see the 'Falling Flower Divine Sword' that was once rampant two hundred years ago in this young man. I must ask him for a lesson and exchange skills, otherwise I fear I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"As for so-called illusions... Hmph, how could mere illusions possibly shake my sword heart?"

As he spoke, he was already poised to strike Su Baichen.

His spirit and energy also continued to rise during this process, and it seemed that he was determined to fight Su Baichen.
