Chapter 337: Chapter 149: Draw the Sword to Kill the Bandits!

The Sword of Heart from Confucianism uses the heart to attack the heart.

Utterly upright and straightforward, without a hint of concealment.

The World Palace Master Gongyang Su Wang, with his grandeur, uses such a sword, is invincible in the world, and Xu Huixiang also has a sincere heart for the Sword Dao, a heart so pure and without a hint of impurity, like a brilliantly polished jade.

He had once, using the Heart Sword, defeated martial artists higher in realm than himself.

But at this moment, he discovered that he wasn’t the only one with such a heart. His opponent, with a more formidable and resolute mental state, proved to be stronger. There is no high or low in their hearts, only firmness and timidity.

In an instant, during the clash of mental states, Xu Huixiang saw his sword begin to fracture. He raised his hand, and the swords clashed—one strike leading to the collision of their mental states.

Is it truly the innocent swordsman, sincere in his sword from youth?

Or is it the heart that has grown stronger through ten years of hardship, witnessing the suffering in the world?

Xu Huixiang’s sword shattered.

He actively withdrew from the clash of Heart Swords.

In the external martial arts arena, it seemed to be only a moment of confrontation. People saw the Little Sword Saint step back half a step, raising his left hand to cover his nose and mouth as blood incessantly flowed out, while Li Guanyi held the weapon as Xu Huixiang stepped back.

The Qi Mechanism around Li Guanyi rapidly circulated.

The roaring of the White Tiger ascended as he grasped the Battle Halberd and leaped mightily, abandoning all defense with a move that pushed the strength of the body, which reached the peak of all times in the same realm, to its limit, gripping the halberd fiercely and striking down.

Nothing but overbearing!

Pure strength!

Pure courage!

The Guest Elder of The World’s First Building, Tu Shengyuan, suddenly stood up, his eyes twinkling: "Is this the Golden Muscle and Jade Bone, Dragon Veins and Tiger Marrow? Or the Buddhist Sect’s Glazed Glass and Vajra Body? No wonder, no wonder..." he seemed to understand.

A martial artist’s body also needs decades of tempering.

"Is he a Body Refinement practitioner?"

But others lack the vision of The World’s First Building.

They are merely shocked by this instant of confrontation, Xu Huixiang injured his Primordial Spirit, but regardless, he burst out his Sword Qi, his jade hairpin snapped, his black hair fluttering wildly, and in an instant, pure strength and Sword Qi burst out in a fierce fight, sweeping through the airwaves.

Xu Huixiang propped himself up with his sword, his eyes intensely staring at Li Guanyi.

"You!"

Li Guanyi said, "You are sincere in your sword?"

He paused for a moment, then frankly said:

"But, the reason you use the Heart Sword, isn’t it because you feel that with the sword in your hand, it’s difficult to defeat me, so you resort to using mental tricks?"

"At that time, you weren’t in a desperate situation."

"Using the Heart Sword, was it a trick, or did you inherently think that the Heart Sword taught by Gongyang Su Wang was stronger than your own Sword Dao?"

Xu Huixiang’s face slowly turned pale.

His Inner Qi burst forth, Li Guanyi’s body was robust.

The two instantly drew distance from each other.

Li Guanyi’s energy consumption was huge, his blood and Qi tumultuous. If he were a normal person, he could not have endured such a level of force, leading to dizziness, arm pain, muscle tears, and other backlash effects, or even death from overexertion.

But he had no such issue; instead, his blood and Qi surged like a dragon, growing stronger as he fought.

The Dragon Veins and Tiger Marrow allowed every stroke of his power to reach the burst limit that a second-layer martial artist theoretically could achieve.

And it made this burst a continuous output.

The Glazed Body significantly reduced the damage from Sword Qi to him.

The Eternal Moon Undying Body allowed his blood and Qi to circulate rapidly, his heart beating, reducing any pressure and damage to his internal organs to nothing. The martial arts he cultivated were not as exquisitely superb as Xu Huixiang’s pinnacle of swordsmanship, not capable of attacking the heart or killing the body.

But combined, they allowed Li Guanyi to still seem at his peak despite fighting hard for a long time.

Xu Huixiang breathed heavily.

The dust spread, and the young military commander in his battle robe held the halberd at an angle.

He stepped forward slowly.

Raised his hand, brushed his sleeve.

As the dust dissipated, although there were still traces of Sword Qi on his body, he remained calm and composed. As he walked forward, the edge of the halberd scraped against the ground, emitting a stern sound.

Every step seemed to stomp on Xu Huixiang’s heart.

An intense oppression felt even by those around.

Xu Huixiang closed his eyes, pondering Li Guanyi’s words.

He indeed subconsciously thought that using the Heart Sword could resolve the battle, thinking that Gongyang Su Wang’s Heart Sword was stronger, recalling the scenes he had seen in the realm of the mind. The young Sword Saint opened his eyes, sighed, raised his sword, and then released his grip.

"I concede."

The sword used in the display fell to the ground.

Boom!!!

The entire martial arts stage instantaneously shattered and collapsed.

The bluestone crumbled and shattered, turning into large chunks of broken rocks. The grand martial arts arena, just now split by the halberd and torn by the Sword Qi, was completely destroyed. People looked at Li Guanyi, a Second Layer Heaven warrior, astonished at his destructive power.

And also—

What did Xu Huixiang say?

Not that he lost.

But—[I concede.]?

Xu Huixiang ignored the noisy sounds around him and looked at Li Guanyi, saying, "I respect your path, but—"

The young Sword Saint fell silent, then smiled and said, "I also will not give up mine."

He turned around, waved his hand to Li Guanyi.

He stepped off the platform.

Li Guanyi exhaled, his intensely surging blood and Qi gradually calming down. He turned his hand around, thrusting the weapon firmly into the ground. This fine weapon, forged 500 times, completely crumbled under his single action, turning into dust.

Li Guanyi felt a killing intent.

Not just one, one from Yuwen Lie, one from—
