Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing were childhood friends. The moment he saw the guy’s shifty eyes and short-sightedness, he knew immediately what kind of despicable thing this scoundrel was planning. He immediately grabbed his reckless friend and stopped him, saying, “Don’t you dare try to get your hands on this sword. The Dragon Guard Manor is another matter; the truly terrifying and dangerous one is the Sword-Eating Ancestor. If you really provoke such a legendary martial arts master, I can’t save you.”

“If someone dares to give something away, they must be confident they can take it back. The more powerful the gift, the more terrifying the old monster who was supposed to take it back.”

Having witnessed the terrifying power of Cheng Ying, Lu Xiaofeng couldn’t help but think that Zhang Lingyu was a fool. No fool in the world would be so generous as to give away such a divine weapon for free, just for Tian Boguang. Did he even deserve it?

In the eyes of Lu Xiaofeng and many other discerning people, this was nothing more than an advertisement to attract the attention of real swordsmen and masters. The fact that they dared to make such a deal with these people naturally demonstrated just how terrifying and invincible the Sword-Eating Ancestor who was ultimately responsible for the recycling was.

After all, just thinking about how terrifying such a divine weapon would become in the hands of peerless swordsmen like Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng sent chills down Lu Xiaofeng’s spine.

His Spiritual Finger technique wasn’t confident it could catch an invisible sword like Cheng Ying; it could instantly sever his fingers and head.

Ye Gucheng quickly fell silent, reverting to his usual aloof demeanor. However, even a fool could see that this sword immortal was likely determined to make a move.

It’s unlikely that he would steal her away.

After all, Zhang Lingyu is very accommodating. As long as you are qualified and willing to accept the conditions, he has plenty of divine weapons. Even if they are not as good as Cheng Ying, they probably won’t be too far off.

Lu Xiaofeng naturally sensed his good buddy Ximen Chuixue’s inner struggle, and directly pulled Ximen Chuixue and said, “Ximen, why don’t we go and try it too? Otherwise, you’ll probably be targeted soon.”

Lu Xiaofeng was very clever, so he naturally saw the deeper issues.

After this battle, everyone realized how terrifying top-tier divine weapons are. If it were a different sword, even a tangible one, Xiao Qiuyu would never have lost so miserably.

If Shangguan Haitang hadn’t shown mercy, he would have been executed by slow slicing.

It’s impossible to defend against. You can’t even see the opponent’s sword blade, so how can you defend or dodge?

What’s most terrifying is that Shangguan Haitang herself is a master of lightness skills, with extremely fast movements. Combined with the invisible sword Chengying, it’s no wonder that she could easily kill powerful figures like the Thirteen Great Bandits of the Northwest. Indeed, her reputation is well-deserved.

“I’m not…”

“It’s alright, I’ll go and meet them, just to make friends. You know me, Lu Xiaofeng, my favorite things in life are drinking, beautiful women, and making friends.”

Sikong Zhaixing, standing beside the camera, weakly added, “Didn’t you like to create trouble for yourself and court death?”

……………………

Lu Xiaofeng’s situation was just a microcosm; the people of the Five Mountains Sword Sect were the ones most affected, and Zuo Lengchan was completely dumbfounded.

You know, even he wouldn’t dare say he could definitely catch Xiao Qiuyu’s Lightning Strike, but… this Yue Buqun is really lucky.

Originally, Yue Buqun only had some ideas and ambitions, but now he suddenly has a very bold and crazy idea.

“What about you, Senior Sister? You didn’t get any benefits from following along the whole way?” The outspoken Mo Xiaobei didn’t know how to bring up the sore spot, and directly asked her senior sister Jiang Yuyan.

Jiang Yuyan still looked on with envy, still longing for such a divine weapon. However, not wanting to lose face, she replied directly, “Your senior sister doesn’t need to rely on such external objects. I am strong enough on my own.”

Jiang Yuyan deliberately looked at her senior brother Hua Wuque and said, “But our senior brother is in big trouble now. His title of the Fourth Young Master is probably completely over. Now it seems that none of the four can compare to him. It’s really embarrassing for our Yihua Palace.”

“Junior sister, what are you saying? How could I be no match for any of them without even a real fight? It’s just because of the power of the divine weapon. Do you think I could get a decent divine weapon from Zhang Lingyu?”

After witnessing the power of Shadow Tiger and Cheng Ying, Hua Wuque naturally became interested in such divine weapons. Knowing that his junior sister knew Zhang Lingyu, he naturally set his sights on the divine weapons.

The Mingyu Skill is specifically designed for women, so it’s naturally unsuitable for Hua Wuque, a man.

Hua Wuque’s aptitude was not bad, but because the cultivation method was not very suitable, he only reached the sixth level. It was very difficult for him to break through to the seventh level, and the eighth level was hopeless for him.

However, Yihua Palace is not only about Mingyu Gong, or rather, the sword techniques that accompany Mingyu Gong are also very powerful.

Therefore, Hua Wuque’s skill in swordsmanship is quite formidable.

Although he hasn’t reached the Innate Realm, he is still considered one of the top swordsmen below the Innate Realm, second only to the Ten Famous Swordsmen. Among the younger generation, he is definitely a rare martial arts genius.

However, the current competition among the Four Young Masters of the Martial Arts World is too outrageous, and the threshold seems to have already reached the Innate Realm.

Zhang Lingyu and Shangguan Haitang are definitely at the Innate Realm. That thing just now was clearly Innate Qi. Even among Innate Realm experts, not every one of them can use Innate Qi.

As for Chu Liuxiang and Yuan Suiyun…

It’s no secret that Yuan Suiyun, the former number one young master of the martial arts world, is a Xiantian (innate) cultivator. Wuzheng Manor itself has acknowledged this, and even held a small-scale banquet to announce it to the martial arts world, indicating that Wuzheng Manor has a successor and officially establishing Yuan Suiyun’s position as the heir.

Chu Liuxiang’s strength is a mystery. His lightness skill is said to be the best in the world, and his swordsmanship has been specifically praised by Xue Yiren, the number one swordsman in the world. He seems to be quite good as well, so much so that the current Four Young Masters are completely outmatched.

People like Wu Hua and Song Qingshu are rarely mentioned anymore, including Hua Wuque.

Without breaking through innate limitations and having any outstanding achievements to show for it, it will be difficult for him to squeeze into the first tier of this rising star in the martial arts world.

Zhang Weihao and his three companions are practically the four Heavenly Kings of the new generation of the Ming Dynasty’s martial arts world, and future superstars.

However, everyone remembered what the important matter was today, so many people followed along to the Songshan Martial Arts Arena.

Xiao Qiuyu mostly suffered superficial injuries. It wasn’t that he couldn’t accept defeat; he lost a sword, not a person. So after a simple bandage, he went up the mountain with his injuries.

This is the real martial arts world; watching the excitement is far more important than your own safety.
