Chapter 335: Chapter 148: Supreme Physique, Unmatched Mental State_2

"That young miss, although still young, is already eligible for the list. Yet, behind her is the Xue Family, whose business spans across nations and whose wealth reaches the heavens; at home, there’s Old Master Xue Daoyong, who isn’t on the Martial World Grandmaster List, but possesses Martial Arts skills that could shoot an arrow and penetrate mountains fifty miles away."

"He is a Martial Artist who has lived for more than 120 years."

"Always claims to be old and decrepit, saying he can’t do it anymore, yet just two months ago, he and Yue Qianfeng, number thirty-four on the Divine General List, fought outside, shattering the heavens and splitting the earth, so much for being old and decrepit."

"Being on the List of Stunning Beauties brings both fame and trouble, and Miss Xue of the Xue Family doesn’t need fame and despises trouble. If she were on the list, perhaps the next day, Old Master Xue would have Ascended the Tower himself, and that would only invite unnecessary trouble. It’s better not to do it."

"Years ago, the Murong Family also had one, who was the granddaughter of Murong Longtu."

"She made it into the top ten of the Beauty List, and within just three days, both the Sword Madman and the Taiping Duke successively Ascended the Tower. The Tower Master was both laughing and crying, having no choice but to remove her from the list. On the other hand, another granddaughter of Murong Longtu found it very interesting and insisted on getting on the list to have some fun."

Onlookers were astonished, saying, "How do you know this so clearly?"

The Guest Elder of The World’s First Building, Tu Shengyuan, grinned and said, "I was the one who arranged it that year."

Thus, everyone showed great respect to him.

Tu Shengyuan said, "This time I sure won’t make a mistake."

"That Imperial Guard, Li Guanyi, couldn’t possibly win. I’ll bet he might hold out for thirty to fifty rounds; if he loses, I’ll eat this scroll of bamboo slips!"

People praised his discerning eye, and the martial arts arena was also ready, with the Emperor coming to watch this martial arts contest. The Seventh Prince, Jiang Gao, Jiang Yuan of Ying Country, were all at the main seats, while to the left were Elder Xue and Noble Consort Xue, and to the right were Tantai Xianming and the Empress.

Because of these many notable people, the crowd attending today’s first fight was the largest of these days, filled with fervent noise, and it seemed that the duel between Xu Huixiang and Li Guanyi unexpectedly had more momentum than the final battle would have.

The Emperor looked down, his expression calm.

He approved of Xu Huixiang’s Martial Arts.

Li Guanyi just had to lose quickly.

This was because the prestige gathered by these two men would naturally transfer to his son, which was also within his expectations.

Wearing a white garment with a dark jade hairpin, Xu Huixiang carried his Sword Box and stepped onto the platform.

Li Guanyi, along with his friends from the Imperial Guards like Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying, fist-bumped each other, then picked up his Battle Halberd and stepped onto the platform.

Xu Huixiang said, "Brother Li, please show mercy in today’s battle."

Li Guanyi picked up his Weapon and said, "Please."

Xu Huixiang smiled slightly, not drawing his sword but indicating the moves with his sword. Sword Qi gathered and attacked Li Guanyi at great speed, aiming for a quick resolution knowing Li Guanyi had not opened his Eye Acupoint.

But his action paused.

The intense sound of air being torn apart was almost like thunder.

A shadowy figure slashed down.

The Battle Halberd accurately targeted the Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi shattered, turning into pure Qi Mechanism that flew past Li Guanyi, cutting open his sleeve, revealing only a white mark on his arm, seen by Xu Huixiang.

!!!!

Xu Huixiang’s pupils suddenly contracted.

The next moment, the heavy and domineering Battle Halberd slashed down, and Xu Huixiang clearly saw the path of this move.

But extreme power brought extreme speed.

Seeing it,

didn’t mean he could dodge it.

Being aware of it, even more, didn’t mean he could withstand it.

The sound of the sword rang out everywhere, and Xu Huixiang suddenly held a sword in his hand, directly twisting it around the Battle Halberd and then retreating in a spin, entwining the sword, following the force of the Battle Halberd with a push. This sword technique was extremely skilled; third layer Inner Qi burst forth.

Boom!!!

The Battle Halberd heavily smashed into the ground, leaving a pit in the bluestone platform.

Dust filled the air.

After a moment of silence, suddenly bursts of astonished discussions erupted. Tu Shengyuan stared intently at the battle, murmuring, "Xu Huixiang, drew his sword?" The young Sword Saint who had competed had never drawn his sword but had dominated with just sword gestures; now, just one move had forced him to draw his sword.

Xu Huixiang, who had been smiling gently the whole time, finally stopped smiling.

His palm was still in severe pain.

His Inner Qi was immense, but the physical strength of his opponent was far too superior.

Li Guanyi gripped the Battle Halberd, pulled the blade out, holding the weapon with both hands. Using the Xue Family Battle Halberd’s twenty-four forms, orthodox and infinitely resourceful.

Xu Huixiang gripped his sword as Inner Qi flowed and changed.

Directly converting Inner Qi into armor.

This transformation amazed the onlookers.

Third Layer Heaven against Second Layer Heaven.

Right after the first move, to resort to transforming Inner Qi into armor, was it too much of a bully? Only the Crown Prince knew that Xu Huixiang was naturally gentle and would never overpower others with his status.

It meant one thing.

The pressure from the opponent was sufficient.

Elder Xue burst into laughter and said, "What a pity, what a pity, if only Guan Yi was wearing Heavy Armor, he would truly be invincible."

Tantai Xianming quietly said, "His cultivation is too low."

The moment of combat began, and Xu Huixiang, worthy of being a disciple of the Sword Saint, his Sword Qi was peerless. From the very first move, it was boundlessly ingenious, astonishing the onlookers who saw hints of countless exquisite sword techniques within his movements, reminiscent of all the sword techniques in the Martial World.

"This, simplifying complexity with simplicity, such a level of swordsmanship, how could it appear in a swordsman of this age?"

"At his whim, it’s a move that changes a thousand ways, infinitely resourceful."

"Truly worthy of being the Sword Saint’s grandson."
