"Stars are blocking the way!"
With a loud shout, the stars around him instantly formed a large array, firmly sealing the invisible sword energy inside!
The next moment, the star barrier shattered silently, but the invisible sword energy also vanished without a trace.
Luo Mengxuan was stunned by what she saw.
This old man forced Junior Brother Ye to unleash the seventh move of the Sky-Piercing Starry Sky Sword Technique with a single sword strike!
Who exactly is he?!
The sword energies collided, but instead of exploding, they canceled each other out, turning into a gust of wind that blew in all directions.
This is because both the old man and the night wind were quite restrained and discreet.
After all, this is the capital city, not some desolate wilderness.
If a fight breaks out in such a place, the damage would be too severe, and innocent people would also be implicated.
The old man slowly walked towards the night wind, casually slashing with his long sword. His sword moves looked simple, yet they were constantly changing.
Ye Feng immediately opened his Myriad Laws Golden Eyes, trying to find the flaw in the old man's swordsmanship, but he failed.
It's not that Ye Feng didn't see the flaws hidden in the old man's swordsmanship, but rather that while he did see the flaws, he unexpectedly discovered that the flaws in the old man's swordsmanship were constantly changing.
Moreover, this change is extremely fast and frequent, so even if Ye Feng sees the flaw, he can't react in time and can't catch it at all.
If Ye Feng were to reach the Void Returning Realm, he might be able to detect the flaws in the old man's swordsmanship, but unfortunately, Ye Feng has not yet recovered his strength to that level.
Ye Feng then took a deep breath and focused all his attention on this sword strike, his mind filled with all the mysteries of the Starry Sky Sword Technique.
The night wind advanced instead of retreating, and with a seemingly ordinary thrust, Zhou Xingjian in his hand pierced the seven-inch mark of the old man's longsword.
The old man's sword technique was momentarily halted by Ye Feng's sword strike, but then it separated into Yin and Yang.
The old man's sword energy split to the left and right, merging yin and yang, instantly trapping Ye Feng's Zhou Xing Sword within it.
The old man's sword strike just now was actually a pre-prepared trap?
A sense of surprise arose in Ye Feng's heart. With a flick of his wrist, Zhou Xingjian spun along with the vortex, and its speed increased.
Immediately afterward, Zhou Xingjian's sword pierced through the night wind, heading straight for the old man's chest.
However, seeing Ye Feng's sword thrust towards his chest, the old man showed no surprise, as if he had expected Ye Feng's swordsmanship to change in this way.
With a light flick of his longsword, he blocked Zhou Xingjian's path and deflected him.
The moment Zhou Xingjian deflected the attack, the old man thrust forward again, switching from defense to offense and aiming for Ye Feng's chest.
Ye Feng retreated, forcibly changing his move, and Zhou Xingjian thrust his sword towards the old man's throat.
The old man remained calm and composed, slightly shifting his body to avoid Ye Feng's sword strike. His sword, however, remained unchanged, still aimed at Ye Feng.
Night Wind had no choice but to parry the old man's longsword back into the air.
But the old man, having gained the upper hand, pressed on relentlessly. With each swing of his longsword, streaks of sword light appeared, resembling a dense spider web, as if to completely seal off the night wind within.
This time, Ye Feng saw several openings, but because of his previous experience, he did not easily use his sword to break through the move.
After all, the previous two times Ye Feng had fallen into the trap meticulously planned by this old man.
Moreover, Ye Feng felt a strong sense of unease. Each of his sword strikes, though seemingly from the heart, had unknowingly been influenced by the old man.
In other words, the old man had firmly grasped the rhythm of the battle, and Ye Feng had been led by the nose since the beginning.
There really are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.
Ye Feng sighed inwardly, then his body trembled, and powerful true energy immediately emanated from his body, forcibly forcing the old man's sword net back.
This is called overwhelming force with sheer power.
No matter how skilled you are with your swordsmanship, no matter how advanced your technique is.
As long as my absolute strength surpasses yours, you cannot defeat me by relying on swordsmanship and skills.
Although the old man was forced back by the true energy released by the night wind, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"It seems the Demon-Slaying Sword is nothing special after all!" the old man said.
Luo Mengxuan, standing to the side, said angrily, "Old man, what are you saying? You were clearly forced to retreat by my junior brother. You lost to my junior brother!"
The old man glanced at Luo Mengxuan but didn't say anything more.
Ye Feng said seriously, "Senior sister, please don't interrupt. This senior's swordsmanship is indeed superb, surpassing mine."
Seeing Ye Feng's humility, the old man finally nodded in satisfaction and looked at Ye Feng with a gratified expression.
“At your age, I am far inferior to you; you don’t need to be so modest,” the old man said.
Night Breeze asked, "May I ask what your background is, senior?"
"Does it matter who I am?" the old man retorted.
The night wind gave a bitter smile.
He often said this to others, but he never expected that someone would say it to him today.
It's true what they say, fortunes really do change!
The old man continued, "I heard that your Demon-Slaying Sword is famous throughout the capital, so I came to test your skills. I must say that your swordsmanship is indeed superb, and I can sense that you did not use your full strength."
"If we use our full strength, there will be big problems," Ye Feng said, looking around.
This is the heart of the capital city, a densely populated area.
Two living saints who have reached the Saintly Realm could easily destroy most of the capital city if they used their full power here.
"What did you learn from our sparring just now?" the old man asked again.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng said, "Senior's swordsmanship seems simple, yet it has a sense of returning to simplicity, which is something that I lack."
"It's good that you've achieved this."
The old man smiled with satisfaction and said, "Young man, your talent is quite good, but the path of swordsmanship is not easy. You must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and move forward steadily. Only in this way can you go further. That's all for today. Until we meet again."
After finishing his sentence, the old man turned and left without looking back.
Watching the old man's retreating figure, Ye Feng's face showed a thoughtful expression.
Luo Mengxuan leaned closer and whispered, "Junior brother, who exactly is this old guy? Can you guess his identity?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "He is a Saint Realm expert, and he also has such high swordsmanship. Senior Sister, can't you guess who he is? If nothing unexpected happens, he is the Fourth Prince's master—the Sword Saint!"
Luo Mengxuan's eyes widened immediately.
Half an hour later, Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan returned to the inn together.
Lu Chenguan now understands the situation in the court and knows that it is a time of great turmoil, so he sighs with a worried look on his face in the hall.
