The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

Yu Miaozhen smiled sweetly.

The Daoist Master not only saw the sweetness in the smile, but also the emotion within that sweetness.

“I’ve heard Xuanjing and the others mention her. If you don’t mind, I would like to meet her.”

Yu Miaozhen said, "Then I'll go ask An Qingwan if she's willing to see you, Daoist Master?"

The Daoist Master laughed heartily.

He wanted to see people, and everyone would come running to let him see them; only Yu Miaozhen's personality was interesting.

"Then go ask."

Upon receiving the order, Yu Miaozhen immediately went.

Upon hearing that the Daoist Master wanted to see her, An Qingwan did not refuse; she also wanted to see what kind of person the Daoist Master was.

The two arranged to meet the following evening.

The Dao Lord arrived first, accompanied by Yu Miaozhen, while An Qingwan went to the banquet alone.

An Qingwan didn't think too much about it, treating it as just an ordinary meeting.

But things really took an unexpected turn.

Upon meeting, the Dao Lord threw a sword at her. An Qingwan recognized the sword; it was the Heavenly Sword Shen Ruiqing's Heavenly Will Sword.

"Your Excellency, the Goddess of Xiaoxiang, would you be willing to spar with this old man?"

Who would have thought that the first thing the Dao Lord would say would be this?

Even An Qingwan, who is adept at reading people's hearts, couldn't have imagined this.

But she readily agreed anyway.

She is currently looking forward to sparring with a grandmaster to test her true strength, and this is the opportunity she has been waiting for.

P.S.: Thank you Night Wind Feather and Supreme Idler for the razor blades.

The previous chapter mentioned that the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique appeared in Chapter 86. Its effect is to change the Yin-Yang attribute of internal energy, allowing the cold Mingyu Gong internal energy to melt metal. This martial art, when combined with the Extreme Yin-Yang Transformation Mindfulness Method, can greatly enhance the effect of the Extreme Yin-Yang Transformation Mindfulness Method. Moreover, An Qingwan can also act as an intermediary, guiding internal energy to circulate within the bodies of others who have not learned the Extreme Yin-Yang Transformation Mindfulness Method but are in close contact with her, allowing them to also enjoy the benefits of the Extreme Yin-Yang Transformation Mindfulness Method.

One Thirty-One Emperor's Qi Observation, Sword Saint An Qingwan [3.5k]

Ba Shui.

Dusk was falling, and the setting sun was as red as blood, its reflection shimmering on the river.

Apart from Yu Miaozhen, who was watching from the sidelines, and An Qingwan and the Daoist Master standing on the river, there was no one else around.

This place was peaceful.

It was as calm as a bamboo grove without wind or a lotus pond without raindrops.

But at some point, as An Qingwan and the Dao Master drew their swords from their sheaths, everything changed.

A biting cold wind suddenly appeared on the river.

Under the blowing of the cold wind, the once calm river surface seemed to transform in an instant into a battlefield of clashing swords and galloping horses.

The world was filled with murderous intent.

There was a murderous aura emanating from the Dao Lord.

There was a murderous aura emanating from An Qingwan.

For millions of years, the murderous intent has been deeply buried in this land that has been fought over by countless people.

Even Yu Miaozhen, who was usually completely insensitive to fighting and killing, couldn't help but feel a chill at this moment.

In this world, the person who knows An Qingwan's sword best, besides An Qingwan herself, is her.

After all, she and An Qingwan were like sword and scabbard to each other.

"Her sword is even sharper than when it defeated me."

Yu Miaozhen's eyes sparkled.

The Dao Lord's sword was completely different from An Qingwan's.

This sword is much more serene; it's like a fishing rod in an old fisherman's hand, remaining perfectly still even in the face of wind and rain, yet no one can ignore the hidden danger within it.

"Have you made the necessary adjustments?" the Dao Lord asked first.

An Qingwan said, "Not yet? You've already adjusted?"

The Daoist Master said, "I haven't yet."

It was actually just a friendly sparring match, but both of them took it very seriously.

Therefore, they will never act rashly.

In a sparring match of this level, a careless move could destroy everything.

Therefore, they must continue to wait until they are truly in the zone, until their spirit and energy are in harmony, and until their opponent reveals a weakness.

The wait is long.

But waiting is not without change.

As the wind blew, the auras of the two gradually increased. One gained a slight advantage, and the other immediately caught up, like roc birds competing for supremacy. They were unable to determine a winner, and eventually they fought to the death, clashing between the floating clouds above and the earth below.

This scene greatly surprised Yu Miaozhen.

Not only Yu Miaozhen, but anyone who saw this scene would be shocked.

In terms of sheer presence, An Qingwan was no weaker than the Dao Lord who had already reached the mythical realm. How terrifying was that?

Even the Dao Master himself was taken aback.

"I thought I was too old and halfway to the grave, and that the future of this martial world would belong to you young people. But I never thought that this martial world could be yours now. I have lived in the Heavenly Palace for a long time and have never gone out. My knowledge is still limited, and I have underestimated the heroes of the world."

As he spoke, he suddenly shook his head.

"Your Grace, in my opinion, we don't need to wait any longer. In a contest of momentum, we can't possibly determine a winner in a short time."

An Qingwan said "okay".

If you don't want to wait, then don't wait.

The moment An Qingwan uttered the word "okay," the two of them made their moves almost simultaneously.

Two swords, two godlike swords, struck out like lightning.

They are too fast.

Just as the sword flashed past, the ripples created by the shoes stepping on the river hadn't even had time to disperse.

They moved so fast that their bodies seemed to lose weight, becoming lighter than the wind and more free than falling leaves.

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged blows more than a dozen times.

A sword that moves as one pleases, sword techniques that are entirely at one's command.

An Qingwan and the Dao Master's spirits had reached their peak; in their eyes, there was nothing else in the world.

There were no bystanders, no mountains and rivers, no wind, no sunset, no bright moon, and no sword.

All they saw was flowing internal energy, flowing in various mysterious ways.

This is a contest of swords, but it has completely transcended the contest of swords; it is a higher realm!

Before the two officially clashed, if you called over a hundred people, all one hundred of them would think that the Daoist Master would win easily.

In fact, even An Qingwan herself didn't think she could win.

That is, after all, the Dao Lord.

But when the fight actually broke out, she found that the situation was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

She was actually able to keep up with the Daoist Master's moves.

She not only keeps up, she can also "see".

This is the effect of the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique.

The Emperor's Qi Observation Technique can reveal the changes in the Three Powers (Heaven, Earth, and Man).

What are the Three Powers (Heaven, Earth, and Man)?

Heaven, Earth, and Man are collectively known as the Three Powers.

If one can see even the changes in the workings of heaven and earth, how could one not see the changes in those who pursue the way of heaven and earth?

The biggest problem with the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique has never been whether it can be seen, but whether it can be used.

Clearly, the Dao Lord did not stop An Qingwan this time.

As for whether it was unstoppable or simply impossible, An Qingwan didn't know.

An Qingwan's internal strength was already no weaker than that of an ordinary grandmaster. Now, she could also see the changes in the Dao Master's aura, which meant that she was not at a disadvantage at all when sparring with the Dao Master.

Not only did she not fall into a disadvantageous position, she was also able to use sword techniques that completely countered the Dao Lord's sword, based on the changes in the Dao Lord's aura.

At this point, she was no longer confined to a single sword technique.

Whether it's the world-renowned sword techniques like the Flying Sword of Ah Fei, the Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens, or the Fifteen Deadly Swords, or the more ordinary sword techniques like the Returning Wind and Falling Wild Goose Sword, the Five Divine Swords of Hengshan, or the Mount Tai Sword, they are all readily available and effortlessly executed in her hands.

At this moment, she is not a grandmaster, but she can definitely be called a sword master!

Suddenly, the Daoist Master cleaved through the air with his sword, creating a giant wave several meters high on the river. The wave condensed into an even longer and larger sword, unstoppable.

No one doubted that this sword could even cleave through the walls of the capital.

But An Qingwan did not dodge or flinch at all when faced with such a terrifying sword strike.

She simply pointed her right hand forward slightly.

"go with!"

A soft drink.

The Heavenly Will Sword flew out from his palm, transforming into a golden stream of light.

The sword strike was already magnificent enough, but as it swirled around the waves, a goddess in white robes and a white skirt seemed to suddenly appear above the river.

The goddess, sword in hand, danced gracefully.

Yu Miaozhen was mesmerized.

"An Qingwan is so beautiful."

Even the Dao Lord was mesmerized.

"What superb swordsmanship!"

The goddess is beautiful, and her swordsmanship is beautiful too.

But a sword is, after all, a weapon for killing.

Even the most beautiful swordsmanship can conceal deadly intent.

Although An Qingwan's sword strike did not kill anyone, it did kill the giant wave unleashed by the Dao Lord.

The giant wave stopped, and with a deafening roar, it suddenly exploded into thousands of strings of pearls.

It started raining on the river.

This was no ordinary rain; it was a sharp, piercing rain, like a sharp blade!

An Qingwan pushed her right palm forward, and the Heavenly Will Sword continued to fly towards the Dao Lord. The thousands of beads also transformed into tiny swords and flew towards the Dao Lord.

This imposing manner makes it seem as if a fierce general, capable of defeating ten thousand men, is leading ten thousand men in a charge against the enemy lines.

This sword strike is enough to kill any top-tier master.

It's a pity that the Dao Lord is a Grandmaster. Although he suffered incurable injuries, a Grandmaster who is seriously injured is still a Grandmaster.

When An Qingwan thrust out this sword, she knew that it would not be able to harm the Dao Lord.

"Two breaths later, a wave will surge from the bottom of the river, and that wave will deflect my sword."

As An Qingwan thought this, a huge wave indeed surged up from the bottom of the river.

These waves were not brought about by the Dao Lord, but rather stirred up by the previous battle.

The Dao Lord simply stood behind the wave beforehand, and just happened to take advantage of it.
