Free Web NovelThe Chixiao Sword is a double-standard sword.
It practically threw itself at Ice Cube, but for Xiao Li, it presented a trial.
Ten swords.
If he could block them, he would become its master.
Li Mo's vision blurred.
Buzz—
A familiar swordsman's figure had already appeared opposite him.
The atmosphere also suddenly turned deadly.
The swordsman slowly clasped his fists and bowed to him.
"Please enlighten me."
Li Mo held the Azure Steel Sword and likewise clasped his fists.
The next moment, the two figures collided.
The clanging sound of weapons echoed throughout the entire Fourth Layer.
.....
In the Third Layer.
All the renowned sword-type Profound Weapons vibrated slightly at this moment.
"Is that the commotion Li Shidi made?"
Murong Xiao couldn't help but turn back, looking towards the dark Fourth Layer entrance.
The sword cry just now made his hair stand on end.
"What happened?"
Xiao Qin looked up, holding a broken greatsword in his hand.
He found it under the guidance of Martial Venerable Qianxing; although it was unassuming among the famous Profound Weapons and only half-remains, its material was better than all the others.
It was also one of the few famous Profound Weapons willing to recognize «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» him as its master.
It just had weak spirituality, requiring him to nurture it himself in the future.
Xiao Qin himself was very satisfied.
However, at this moment, the greatsword was trembling slightly with that sword cry.
"Your Junior Brother Li is fighting a Profound Weapon."
Martial Venerable Qianxing said casually without having seen it with his own eyes.
"Fighting a weapon?"
Xiao Qin didn't quite understand what that meant.
"The stronger a martial artist, the more formidable their spirit."
"The weapons they use year after year will become imbued with their will."
"Do you know which is the most powerful sword in the Tianshan Sword Manor, renowned throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"
Martial Venerable Qianxing was happy to tell his Disciple some anecdotes to broaden his horizons.
"Please enlighten me, Teacher."
Xiao Qin also listened with great interest.
"It's a wooden sword that once belonged to the Sword Ancestor."
Martial Venerable Qianxing's tone sounded as if he had witnessed it himself:
"It carries an entire pure Qi Sword Dao."
"Hundreds of years ago, this sword flew a thousand li out of the Sword Tomb, cutting off a river and slaying an evil flood dragon with a single strike, and to this day, the water of that great river remains cut off."
"Cutting off a river for hundreds of years with one sword?"
Xiao Qin gasped, listening.
To him now, this was simply unimaginable.
Martial Venerable Qianxing was very satisfied with his Disciple's shock and continued:
"The Sword Ancestor's personal weapon is far beyond what a Profound Weapon can compare to."
"Of course, that Chixiao is also a fine example among Profound Weapons."
"Whether your Junior Brother Li can master it depends on whether he learned anything from that girl."
"Chixiao, it complements Heavenly Frost very well."
Xiao Qin thought, pursing his lips.
He wasn't envious at all; instead, he grew to like his own broken renowned greatsword even more.
.....
Clang—
In the Fourth Layer.
Li Mo had already blocked Chixiao's sixth sword in the consciousness space.
The sound of the sword cry made him feel as if his Soul was being electrocuted, and his consciousness was numb.
Is this the Aura of a Profound Weapon?
Or... is it the residual essence, Qi, and spirit of the master who once used this sword?
Li Mo couldn't help but recall what Ice Cube had told him at the bottom of Qingyuan.
Obsession could even turn into Yin beings.
Then it was very reasonable for essence, Qi, and spirit to condense into a swordsman with powerful sword techniques.
"The sound of this sword cry seems to have the effect of refining the spirit."
Li Mo pondered.
At first, it was relatively weak, but the more it progressed, the more obvious the feeling of spiritual refinement became.
"Come on."
Li Mo concentrated, seriously engaging in swordplay with it.
The seventh sword!
The eighth sword!
The ninth sword!
These three swords were already sword techniques at the Perfection level.
After exchanging nine swords with it, he only felt his essence, Qi, and spirit had improved significantly, and his consciousness had become a little more agile.
If not for Ice Cube's guidance, relying solely on his own Martial Arts Comprehension would probably only allow him to stop here.
This was not uncommon.
Just like a profound math problem, without mathematical talent, relying on one's own deep thought, one might never find the answer in a lifetime.
Ordinary people could only use the 'formulas' summarized by Geniuses to take shortcuts.
"The tenth sword!"
The Aura of the swordsman opposite instantly became restrained and powerful.
Li Mo lightly exhaled a turbid breath, concentrating more than ever before.
.....
The tenth sword cry echoed through Shenfeng Cave.
It lingered, like a helpless sigh.
Outside Shenfeng Cave.
"The Chixiao Sword has recognized a master."
Elder Han He stroked his beard and spoke, his expression slightly strange.
No one understood the meaning of this sword cry better than him, the Elder in charge of Shenbing Peak.
The Chixiao Sword recognized a master, yes.
But it seemed to carry a hint of reluctance...
As if it wasn't very satisfied with Li Zhenchuan's talent.
A bit disdainful, yet pinching its nose and serving him as master?
This confused Elder Han He quite a bit.
"Hahaha, old man, both Profound Weapons are in my hands now."
Shang Wu didn't care about that much, she was so proud she almost put her hands on her hips.
Elder Han He was expressionless: "Heavenly Frost belongs to Ying Bing. What does Ying Bing have to do with you?"
Shang Wu looked at him, a hint of pity and sympathy appearing in her eyes.
The former's forehead twitched twice.
That look was very impolite.
"Right, old man, not to mention Little Bing'er's matter, it's still two."
"We made a bet back then."
"How about this, I won't let you suffer a loss. You don't need to help me settle the accounts; as long as I need it, I can go down to your Shenfeng Cave and take any weapon to use."
Shang Wu squinted and smiled again.
"Hmph! Only one at a time!"
Han He snorted coldly.
No matter how stubborn he was, he wouldn't dare say that the outcome was still uncertain.
It wasn't that he lacked confidence in Murong Xiao, but that being recognized by a Profound Weapon meant Li Mo's sword techniques were definitely extraordinary.
Moreover, holding a Profound Weapon, who could defeat him in the same realm?
Letting Shang Wu take weapons from Shenfeng Cave, even if she broke them, was better than settling her enormous debt.
"Old man, this is your only good point, you never go back on your word."
Shang Wu only offered a few nice words after he conceded.
Ying Bing's face was calm; she was not surprised by this.
It was her first time seriously teaching someone.
If he couldn't even get a Profound Weapon, that would be too much of a failure.
"Chixiao, ah..."
"Ying Zhenchuan has Heavenly Frost, and if I'm not mistaken, these two swords seem to have a combined technique?"
"I've also seen similar records."
.....
Some older Disciples of Shenbing Peak looked at each other, recalling the records in unison.
Legend has it that the Ancestral Master forged these two swords and bestowed them upon his two Disciples.
Those two were a couple with very deep affection, and they even created a combined sword technique because of it, which allowed them to fight across realms and was famous in the Eastern Wasteland Region at the time.
Later, when the two passed away, Heavenly Frost and Chixiao never recognized masters at the same time again.
That sword technique was also put aside, and no one ever saw its splendor again.
Today, these two Profound Weapons have each found their masters again...
Everyone turned their gaze towards Ying Bing.
Yet, they could not discern any emotion from the maiden's jade-like face.
......
At the same time.
"Quite aloof."
Li Mo held the longsword, which looked like flowing fire, overjoyed.
His own sword Dao talent was not good.
Yet, at this age, he had cultivated a superior sword technique to the Transcendent realm.
Therefore, the Chixiao Sword only reluctantly recognized him as its master.
But... whether it was reluctant or not, it didn't matter, as long as he could use it, right?
Xiao Li didn't care if the melon was sweet or not, as long as it quenched his thirst.
"I have sword techniques, and I have a precious sword."
"If I'm not a swordsman, who is?"
Li Mo smiled happily.
At this moment.
He looked towards the end of the Fourth Layer of Shenfeng Cave, the entrance where firelight and cold light intertwined.
That direction's call to him grew stronger.
The matter of being handsome was already settled.
Naturally, he had to consider what could truly make him stronger.
"Panjie Meteor Hammer."
The light from the entrance reflected in Li Mo's eyes.
Although using a hammer didn't quite align with his interests.
But... this was a Divine Weapon!
It was already a supreme treasure completely beyond his comprehension.
Moreover, it could faintly resonate with his Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body, complementing each other.
"It wants to come with me."
"But first, I need to be able to approach it and pick it up."
Li Mo walked through the entrance.
Instantly, he felt an immense pressure.
The bone-chilling ice spring, the fiery hot spring, plus the powerful soldier-slaying Qi, almost made it difficult for him to breathe.
If his Body Refining hadn't just begun to show results, and he hadn't consumed a six-pattern Qing Xin Pill, he wouldn't even have the right to stand here.
Thump—
He took a step forward.
Instantly, thunder rumbled in the unseen world.
All his internal organs, Meridians, Qi, and blood were shaken.
That bone-itching sensation made Li Mo clearly realize. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
His physique had grown stronger again.
"I merely took one step forward..."
Li Mo gained a clearer understanding of the Divine Weapon's power.
Moreover.
This was probably the result of the Divine Weapon having its own spirit and retracting most of its pressure!
"Keep going!"
Li Mo activated his Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body and took another step.
At the same time, the sound of falling great hammers echoed in his ears.
