275: Flying Sword Without Eyes

Just as Liu Xuan was thinking about letting Xiao Changfeng come forward to dismiss this person, Su Wan flew closer and transmitted her voice through her Divine Soul: "This person is a Disciple of True Person Heng Yuan of the Heavenly Sword Sect, ranked 88th on the Sword Pavilion's Earth Board, and has once defeated several Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators head-on."

"True Person Heng Yuan?"

"Is he the one with Late Golden Core Stage cultivation, just like True Person Feiyu Shen Yunshu, and one of the four Sword-Wielders of the Sword Pavilion?"

Su Wan nodded slightly and explained via Divine Soul transmission: "True Person Heng Yuan and True Person Feiyu have always been at odds. Wan Wei coming here to cause trouble so suddenly will likely lead to trouble."

Internal strife among the high-level members of the Heavenly Sword Sect? To be honest, Liu Xuan did not want to get involved, but being here, one is often not in control of their own actions.

True Person Heng Yuan sending someone over was nothing more than being jealous of the benefits of Feiyu City. If Liu Xuan remained neutral, he would offend both sides; eventually, he would have to pick a side.

According to Xiao Changfeng's memories, the strength of Shen Yunshu and True Person Heng Yuan was about the same, but Xiao Changfeng had a better relationship with Shen Yunshu. Plus, she was a beautiful Sword Cultivator, so there was no need to hesitate about which side to choose.

"What does this '88th on the Earth Board' mean?" Liu Xuan asked via transmission.

"The Heavenly Sword Sect's Sword Pavilion has established three boards: Heaven, Earth, and Human, corresponding to Golden Core True Persons, Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and Qi Refining Cultivators respectively."

"The ranking is not based on actual combat, but a comprehensive ranking of talent and future prospects. The higher the cultivation, the younger the age, the deeper the understanding of Sword Intent, and the more refined the understanding of Cultivation Technique, the higher the ranking."

"Although the ranking does not absolutely represent combat strength, basically all Cultivators with high rankings have very strong combat power, and many can even fight opponents of higher Realms."

Combining the information from the Puppet Gu, Liu Xuan understood.

The Heavenly Sword Sect had many Foundation Establishment Disciples. For Wan Wei to be ranked 88th with Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation meant his comprehensive talent was excellent, and his chances of reaching the Golden Core stage in the future were not small.

Of course! This 'not small' was only relative to ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators; if one really calculated it, he probably couldn't compare to Wang Qiao back then.

"Liu Xuan! As a Sword Cultivator, you should have the courage to Face everything. It is just a competition, and you don't even dare to do this?!!!"

Seeing that Xiao Changfeng had no intention of speaking, Wan Wei tore off his mask.

Once these words were spoken, even if Liu Xuan refused, it didn't matter; his goal had already been achieved.

Slapping Liu Xuan's Face was the same as slapping Xiao Changfeng's Face. If this matter succeeded, he might be entrusted with important tasks.

"Since Fellow Daoist Wan is so eager to seek advice, Liu will agree. However, Flying Swords have no eyes; if you get hurt, don't cry!"

"Hahaha!!!"

Wan Wei laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist, please use your full strength. If you can injure me, I will have no complaints!"

"That is excellent!" Liu Xuan gestured with his hand and said politely: "Please!"

Wan Wei flew to the center of the venue and stood in the air. The nearby guests retreated one after another, clearing a space for both sides.

"Is this really going to be a competition?"

"I heard that this Wan Wei is an expert in the top hundred of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sword Pavilion. Liu Xuan has just had a Breakthrough, how can he be an opponent?"

"It's not like he has to win; as long as he doesn't lose too ugly, it will be fine!"

...

Dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators had come to the scene, including Old Ancestors from local families of the Red Pine Sect, Old Ancestors from surrounding Sects and families, Beast Taming Sect Cultivators, and Heavenly Sword Sect Cultivators.

Seeing that there was a lively competition to watch, they all perked up. This was much more interesting than lectures on cultivation.

In the middle of the venue.

Wan Wei stood with his hands behind his back. He was not tall, but his posture was upright, and his proud aura as a Sword Cultivator was undoubtedly revealed.

"I won't bully you either, draw your sword!"

Liu Xuan nodded slightly, swept his gaze across the crowd below, and waved his hand to take a Magic Treasure sword from Ninth Son's waist.

"Ninth Son, lend me your Magic Treasure sword!"

"Hum~"

The Flying Sword streaked through the air and swam to Liu Xuan's side, as if it had been endowed with spirituality.

"You don't have a natal flying sword?" Wan Wei frowned slightly. This kid Liu Xuan was quite scheming.

Not having a natal flying sword was one thing, but he had also brought out a first-grade Magic Treasure sword to compete; if he lost, he would have an excuse.

He had already guessed Liu Xuan's plan: probably to use one or two full-strength moves and then concede, so he wouldn't lose much Face.

"Hum!"

Liu Xuan flicked the sword body lightly, and a crisp and pleasant sword hum rang out.

His natal flying sword, the heavenly origin sword, was within his Dantian dao foundation, but it was not convenient to take it out.

Ever since he controlled Xiao Changfeng, Liu Xuan had been feeding it day and night with the Five Elements treasures obtained from his storage ring. The current heavenly origin sword had reached the High Grade of the second grade, and its essence was comparable to a Magic Treasure.

If fully unleashed, its power would probably not be much worse than a Magic Treasure Flying Sword, so taking it out would be too flashy.

To deal with an Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, there was really no need to use the heavenly origin sword.

Liu Xuan was too lazy to waste time. His aura changed, and the snow-white Flying Sword instantly lit up with a golden light.

The sword light became brighter and brighter, as if a great sun had risen, and the scorching Sword Intent made people dare not look directly at it.

At this moment, the sun in the sky also lost its color, and in everyone's eyes, there was only the brilliant sword light.

"This is..."

"With this level of Sword Intent, what Realm has this person reached in the Nine Luminaries Sword Canon?!!!"

...

Wan Wei, bearing the pressure of the Sword Intent head-on, felt it the most intensely. The moment the sword light rose, he regretted it.

Liu Xuan's Realm was far above his. Now, he was not thinking about how to defeat Liu Xuan, but how to lose without looking too ugly.

In an instant, the roles of attacker and defender shifted, and his state of mind was in chaos.

"Forget it! I'll just block this sword first."

With his natal flying sword in hand, it split into two, two into four, four into eight... In an instant, a total of sixty-four Flying Swords formed a sword array, stabbing towards the 'great sun' above.

"Sword light differentiation?"

Liu Xuan smiled faintly and waved his hand. The great sun sword light also differentiated, instantly turning into sixty-four rounds of sword light.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

...

Terrifying explosions rang out continuously. The Red Pine Great Array was activated, and the aftermath of the battle was confined to the center of the venue and absorbed by the array.

Wan Wei's natal flying sword was far from being an opponent. He threw out a Talisman, which instantly turned into a golden light shield to block in front of him. Taking advantage of the gap, he took out another Talisman and activated it. His figure suddenly disappeared out of thin air and appeared in the crowd below.

Liu Xuan could not pursue him, so he had to forcibly keep his natal flying sword. With a flash of his Escape Technique, Liu Xuan accurately found the main body of Wan Wei's natal flying sword among the remaining sword lights.

Pointing his fingers like a sword, the Azure Wood Divine Light shone and tapped on the middle position of his natal flying sword.

"Crack~"

The spiritual light of the Flying Sword dimmed instantly, dense cracks spread, and the magic power attached to it dissipated completely.

"Pfft~"

Below, Wan Wei, who was hiding in the crowd, spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura wilting.

His natal flying sword was destroyed, the connection with his Divine Soul was severed, and the backlash affected not only his Physical Body but also his Divine Soul.

This kind of injury to the Origin was difficult to recover from; it not only required a large amount of Spirit Medicine but also time to slowly recuperate.

Liu Xuan flicked his sleeve, and the damaged natal flying sword was collected by him. Although the Spiritual Qi of this thing had been shattered, the essential Materials were still intact.

A Sword Cultivator usually had most of their wealth in their natal flying sword. Whether it was sold as Materials or thrown directly to the heavenly origin sword to devour, it was worth a lot.
