Chapter 130: Chapter 129: Testing Hands, Zhao Baiyang’s Plan
Translator: 549690339
Pei Xuanjing’s movements were extremely efficient.
Gripping the sword, drawing it, unsheathing, slashing, every single action was as smooth as flowing water, without any hint of hesitation!
A dazzling sword light appeared. Almost at the moment of unsheathing, a brilliant, sun-like sword intent seeped out.
The power of one sword strike was as if it could cut through heaven and earth. The cold sword light paired with this brilliant sun-like sword intent.
Moreover, during this period of time, Pei Xuanjing’s mastery of the sword drawing skill had further improved.
At this moment, he could gather all his sword intent, turning thousands of sword lights into a single strand, and its power was extraordinary.
Zhao Baiyang naturally wouldn’t just sit and wait for his death, the instant Pei Xuanjing drew his sword, he also took action.
His body’s Blood Qi erupted, True Qi circulated, his hands formed a seal, quickly condensing into a
The World-suppressing Seal!
This was a secret seal from his cultivation of the Mire Sect’s supreme technique, “Maitreya Descent Scripture.” Combined with his own understanding of martial arts, after innovation, its power surpassed that of the past.
The moment he stepped forward, the stone slab under his foot cracked.
The seal infused with endless True Qi was launched out like a mountain!
The terrifying force was as turbulent as a surging river, bursting forth.
The moment when the two of their techniques collided.
The sword light and seal caused a violent roar.
Boom!
The intense shock caused the entire hall to shake a few times, the marks of the cracks under their feet spread throughout the entire hall.
The few people on the side were also shocked to the point of being dumbfounded by this terrifying exchange.
Huff h uff huff
As the dust settled, a barely visible sword mark appeared on Zhao Baiyang’s jade-like hand, seeping out traces of blood.
He silently circulated his Blood Qi, that trace of wound instantly disappeared.
Zhao Baiyang raised his head to look at the sword-wielding Pei Xuanjing, saying indifferently: “You can keep the Sacred Fire Order for now, I will come for it another day.”
Having said that, without giving Pei Xuanjing a chance to speak, he turned around and left.
Yu Yiyao, watching her departing master, shot Pei Xuanjing a surprised look, and quickly followed.
“Master?” Pang Hong softly called.
Pei Xuanjing let out a long sigh.
This time, he neither won nor lost.
Comparing himself, he was indeed a bit inferior to the opponent. The fact that he was able to win was entirely due to the advantage of the Shenxiao Sword, while the opponent was barehanded.
Could the leader of the mighty Mire Sect not possess a Divine Weapon?
Pei Xuanjing didn’t believe that.
Even considering the foundation of the Mire Sect, he wouldn’t be surprised if the opponent pulled out a Ten Thousand -Forged Divine Weapon.
What he couldn’t figure out was that Zhao Baiyang just retreated like that, as if he had some scruples in his heart and wasn’t willing to go all out against him.
Through this exchange with Zhao Baiyang, he really realized how powerful those Martial Artists standing at the pinnacle of the First-grade Realm were.
This made Pei Xuanjing look forward to his own breakthrough even more. He believed that once he truly stepped into the First-grade Martial Artist Realm, even without relying on the advantage of the Divine Weapon, he could still fight evenly with the opponent.
“Real person, this is the Sacred Fire Order.”
The one who served as the leader of the Five Regions Emissaries took out a seemingly transparent and non- transparent token from his bosom. The token faintly had flames surging within; its colours changing unpredictably.
Even if he was reluctant in his heart, he had to shout out, otherwise he would undoubtedly die.
Being capable of forcing the renowned Zhao Baiyang to retreat with a single sword stroke, it would be a breeze for him to deal with five of them.
And based on his series of actions, this person was not benevolent. Once he took action, there was absolutely no chance of mercy.
As Pei Xuanjing took the Sacred Fire Order, a prompt appeared in his mind:
[Sacred Fire Order, refining can gain seven thousand Taoyun.]
With this prompt, Pei Xuanjing naturally knew that this Sacred Fire Order was undoubtedly real.
He pocketed it in reverse, nodded to the five people, and said: “Not bad. Wait till tomorrow, and you may leave on your own.”
At this moment, a young man brought a girl over, bowed towards Pei Xuanjing, and said: “Dan Feng, together with my younger sister, thank the real person for saving our lives.”
Named Dan Feng, the young man clearly understood that Pei Xuanjing had indirectly saved their lives.
After all, no one would think that after the two from the Mire Sect killed the Five Regions Emissaries, they would spare them who knew a big secret.
“No need to mind it.” Pei Xuanjing waved his hand.
The hall returned to calm, while the storm outside continued.
“Master, why did you…?” Yu Yiyao hurried to catch up with her master’s footsteps, unable to help but ask.
The storm couldn’t make a single drop fall on Zhao Baiyang. His white robes remained pristine, and his demeanor was calm.
Hearing his disciple’s question, his footsteps didn’t stop, and without turning his head, he said: “Are you wondering why I retreated?”
“Yes!” Yu Yiyao bit her lip, her face showing confusion: “1 can’t believe that master couldn’t win against him.”
In her eyes, her master was always invincible, and no one under heaven could truly defeat him.
And she also Imew that her master, the leader of the Mire Sect, possesses the sect’s Divine Weapon. Why didn’t he use it and easily give up the Sacred Fire Order?
“He’s very good, ” Zhao Baiyang said casually, admiration flashing in his eyes as he spoke.
“In the martial arts world, there may be people who can kill first-grade martial artists as second-class, but there’s no one else like Pei Xuanjing. Therefore, I don’t want to make a move now, I look forward to his growth, and look forward to the day when he can be my true opponent.”
Zhao Baiyang had high expectations for Pei Xuanjing. To him, apart from being the leader of the Mire Sect, he was a martial artist, and a cultivator constantly trying to reach the peak and glimpse the supreme martial arts.
Pei Xuanjing’s current strength was indeed very good, he had to admit, the other party already had the strength to threaten him.
But for him, it was still not enough.
So he hoped that the other party would continue to grow until one day, it could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Having such an opponent as a whetstone, he might truly be able to break through the realm beyond first-grade.
That was Zhao Baiyang’s plan.
Of course, if he had just fought with the other party full out, he would most definitely survive, but Pei Xuanjing would definitely leave him with no small injury.
But, right now, Zhao Baiyang did not have the possibility to throw everything away and fight to the death with the other party, because apart from this, he had other things to do, people to meet.
And those people made Zhao Baiyang maintain his peak strength to face them, otherwise, he would find it difficult to retreat whole.
Rather than fighting to the death with the other party now, it is better to leave this opponent for the final moment.
“Alright, temporarily put down the matter of chasing and killing the Five Regions Emissaries. You gather the Mire Sect’s forces to start moving towards the Northwest Dao.” Zhao Baiyang instructed.
Yu Yiyao nodded, then asked: “Master, Tiandu has sent a message that the Martial Classics will seemingly soon be compiled successfully, are we just going to sit back and ignore it?”
Zhao Baiyang sneered: “Why should my Mire Sect care about this? Someone else will be more anxious than us.”
In Zhao Baiyang’s view, he would rather the Martial Classics be spread all over the world..
