"Sorry, not interested. I have some old hen soup simmering at home!"
Bai Cang shook his head vigorously, rejecting the offer without hesitation.
"Brother Bai's sword intent is pure and almost untainted by impurities. It's a pity that he is too distracted by other things and has not been able to focus on cultivating the sword path. He can hardly see the true meaning of sword cultivation."
Yu Duxiu sighed and shook his head, as if he truly felt sorry for Bai Cang.
But then, changing the subject, he said in a seductive tone, "After the sword heart is clear, the sword intent takes form."
Brother Bai was actually just one step away from mastering the technique, but he hadn't yet obtained the secret method and couldn't fathom its profound mysteries.
"How about we have a sword duel? Regardless of victory or defeat, I will bestow upon you my secret techniques. What do you say?"
If Bai Cang didn't know about Yu Duxiu's "dark history," he might actually have believed his lies.
But at this moment, Bai Cang had only one thought in his mind: Don't come any closer!
So he shook me without hesitation, "I'm not a sword cultivator, why would I need any secret sword techniques? Fellow Daoist Yu, you should look for someone else."
I have never touched a sword in my life, and I have no interest in swords.
Who would be so idle as to "play with a sword"?
In short: No invitation, ugly rejection, already shot!
"This is all thanks to you!"
Yu Duxiu drew his sword fiercely, pointing it at Bai Cang, "I have no other hobbies in my life but sword fighting."
Today, you either fight me or I kill you on the spot; there is absolutely no third possibility!
With his sword in hand, Yu Duxiu exuded an incomparably fierce aura, like a divine sword drawn from its sheath, piercing the clouds and locking onto Bai Cang.
Such a tremendous display immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Has the Jade Madman had another episode?"
"Haha, this kid ruined our toys."
"Isn't Jade Madman only interested in sword cultivators? This person isn't a sword cultivator at all!"
"Didn't you hear him say that? He is Bai Cang from the Tianhe Sect, how could he not be proficient in swordsmanship?"
"Tianhe Xiaochu inherited the legacy of the ancient Tianhe Sword Sect, so it can be considered a sword cultivator."
Among all the discussions, the vast majority were filled with schadenfreude.
It is clear that "Tianhe Laodeng" does not have a good reputation in the Central Plains; it is not even worthy of being called "Xiaochu" (a derogatory term for a lowly animal).
"Damn it, I've been targeted by a lunatic!"
Seeing this, Bai Cang secretly groaned in his heart and quickly turned to look in the direction of True Lord Xuanhu.
If we could join forces with "Uncle-Master Xuanhu," perhaps we could...
Huh? Where's my "Uncle-Master Xuanhu"? Where's my esteemed "Uncle-Master Xuanhu"?
Bai Cang turned his head and saw that True Monarch Xuanhu had already disappeared without a trace, which made him curse in his heart.
Damn it! This bunch of "wicked teachers and rebellious uncles" are all troublesome.
It seems I can't rely on anyone but myself!
"Brother Yu is the greatest genius of our time, with unparalleled talent in swordsmanship. I, Bai, am ashamed to admit my inferiority."
Bai Cang sighed inwardly and looked at Yu Duxiu with a sincere expression. "My master once said: For ten thousand years, only Brother Yu has excelled in the art of swordsmanship."
If Heaven had not created jade, its beauty would have remained unparalleled; the way of the sword would have remained shrouded in eternal
Therefore, I, Bai, am truly embarrassed to call myself a sword cultivator in front of Brother Yu. I dare not embarrass myself by displaying my meager skills!
Bai Cang spoke sincerely and earnestly.
These words made Yu Duxiu beam with joy, wishing he could immediately acknowledge this half-brother as his own.
He would treat other people's flattery as nonsense and would never take it to heart.
However, Yu Duxiu was quite pleased with Bai Cang's blatant flattery.
He even felt that Bai Cang had a unique perspective and was truly his greatest confidant in his life!
Especially since Bai Cang also brought "Tianhe Lao Deng" as an endorsement, Yu Duxiu was overjoyed.
Although "Tianhe Laodeng" had a bad reputation in the Central Plains, no one denied his talent and strength.
Yu Duxiu had once secretly fought three sword duels with "Tianhe Laodeng" to a draw.
However, Yu Duxiu himself knew very well how much of this was exaggerated.
He originally planned to kill that "Heavenly Sword Old Thief," attain the Dao of the Primordial Spirit, and then go find "Heavenly River Old Deng" to get revenge.
But now I hear "Tianhe Laodeng" using his apprentice's words to give himself such high praise.
Even though he knew that the content was mostly fake, Yu Duxiu still felt extremely happy.
"Within a hundred years of age, you and I are the only heroes in the world!"
Overjoyed, Yu Duxiu pointed his sword at the ground, looked around at the Xuanmen prodigies, and immediately uttered another arrogant statement, "Among those over a hundred years old, Fellow Daoist Tianhe can be considered the foremost. We should all strive to emulate him!"
Bai Cang was also very pleased. "Brother Yu, I will keep your words in mind."
Though I am unworthy to stand alongside Brother Yu, I wish to join you in defeating the Heavenly River with our swords!
As long as you set your sights on "Tianhe Laodeng", then you are my good brother.
It's better for the student to die than the teacher!
What is the true meaning of a loving teacher and a filial student? This is it!
Just because I was worried that my teacher would be lonely and isolated at the top, I specially found him a worthy "lifelong rival". Who dares to say that he is a "talented and virtuous man" who is unfilial?
Filial piety! Everyone be filial! (A loud burst of filial piety ensued!)
"But today's battle is still unavoidable."
However, Yu Duxiu changed his tone, and his aura became fierce again: "The best way for sword cultivators to appreciate each other is to fight with all their might and win a battle."
Only sword cultivators who have fought their way through countless duels can truly possess the bearing of a sword immortal!
That being said, Yu Duxiu had already made up his mind to slightly violate his "principles" and have a "classic teaching match".
This young brother Bai Cang is so sensible and speaks so kindly, how could he bear to let him go astray?
I must show him what a "true sword immortal" is before I can make him focus on the sword, be devoted to the sword and to himself, and walk the righteous path.
If I can't even teach my little brother a small skill like "Sword Intent Transformation", how can I show off my skills?
This is also another way for Yu Duxiu to compete with "Tianhe Laodeng".
If you can't teach your apprentice well, I'll teach him for you!
But how could Bai Cang know about these perverted thoughts?
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: I'll lead you guys to victory!
The happier I am, the more ruthless you become, right?
Left with no other choice, Bai Cang could only open his mouth and spit out the "Immortal Slaughtering Sword Pill," transforming it into a sharp edge that flew out and slashed through the air.
"My skills are still lacking, Brother Yu, please give me your guidance!"
Amidst the flattery, a sharp edge suddenly appeared, and thousands of sword threads swept across the sky.
In an instant, the entire void of heaven and earth was cut into millions of parts.
"boom!"
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted, and countless sword threads slashed towards Yu Duxiu's front!
Sword light splits, sword roars like thunder, sword is forged into silk!
Bai Cang spoke kindly, but when it came to actually doing it, he showed no mercy whatsoever.
He unleashed three supreme sword techniques simultaneously, displaying an attitude that seemed intent on tearing Yu Duxiu to pieces!
They say the nicest things, but use the most vicious methods!
But to everyone's surprise, Yu Duxiu became even more excited upon seeing this!
"Excellent swordsmanship! Excellent technique! This young man is teachable!"
