Xiao Yuhan was shocked. He realized that Wen Xiao's strength far surpassed that of his senior brother Liu Jiantang, but why was he still suppressing his strength? Could it be that this person really did as he said, only regarding Liu Jiantang as an opponent and wanting to have a fair fight at the same level?
He knew his senior brother was doomed to lose. Even if he was qualified to fight Wen Xiao despite Wen Xiao suppressing his strength, the other party still had his own principles, so how could he let Liu Jiantang really win?
As expected, Liu Jiantang was injured again in this confrontation, while Wen Xiao remained as composed as ever, though Xiao Yuhan noticed something.
It wasn't that Wen Xiao's movement skills and swordsmanship were superior; it was simply that the overwhelming sword energy wouldn't harm him. As long as he focused on blocking Liu Jiantang's sword, he wouldn't suffer any damage.
Obviously, it's unfair. If it's a duel between swordsmen, then it's unfair. But if it's just a fight between enemies, then Xiao Yuhan has no reason to stay here and watch the two compete.
Taking advantage of the moment when the two were locked in a stalemate, Xiao Yuhan seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. He would naturally not hold back against a master like Wen Xiao. He had not used the Blood King Gu for many years, at least not in his memory.
But he didn't feel ashamed at all. Jun Mojian made his move while under the Blood King Gu state. Although Xiao Yuhan was no longer as proficient in lightning magic as he used to be, he had made considerable progress in swordsmanship. At least in those endless years, he understood Liu Jiantang's swordsmanship.
It can even evolve into something more exquisite with each iteration. When this sword strike was made, Wen Xiao frowned. He was still confronting Liu Jiantang, but he had to divert his attention to resist Xiao Yuhan.
As their swords clashed, Wen Xiao's expression changed drastically. "I didn't expect you to actually wake up. Your swordsmanship, you learned it from Liu Jiantang, right? It is somewhat different, but unfortunately you are not him, so you are still a bit lacking. But it's not bad, I didn't expect you to have such a talent for swordsmanship."
Although Liu Jiantang was injured, his arrogance remained undiminished. "Junior Brother Xiao, this is my battle with him. You shouldn't interfere."
“Senior brother, if it were a fair fight, even if you died at his hands, I wouldn’t interfere. I know that with your proud personality, this is the only way to show respect to you. But… this person may have already surpassed the Dao Integration Realm. You are no match for him. Now that he has invaded the territory of my Heavenly Sword Sect, I am only doing this to defend against the enemy. It cannot be considered as disturbing the fair fight that senior brother wants.”
At this moment, Wen Xiao no longer concealed anything and smiled slightly: "That's right, I have always suppressed my strength. When I arrived at Tianmo Ravine in my early years, I was already a swordsman in the Mahayana Realm. However, Liu Jiantang, I sincerely want to fight you fairly, so I have always thought about fighting you at the same level."
At this moment, Liu Jiantang glanced at Xiao Yuhan and said, "Junior brother, you are wrong. Even if he is in the Mahayana Realm and I am in the Dao Integration Realm, it is not unfair for a swordsman to be inferior in cultivation. It is unfair for him that you come to help him."
Wen Xiao glanced at Xiao Yuhan, "If it weren't Liu Jiantang standing in front of me, I would have arrogantly said today, 'Both of you come at me!' But I respect my opponent. Xiao Yuhan, you should leave and not interfere with our battle!"
Xiao Yuhan remained unmoved. "I can't leave. Senior Brother Liu, he'll kill you."
Liu Jiantang's face was cold and stern. "Junior brother, let's go. If you don't leave, we don't need to address each other as fellow disciples anymore."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhan still felt a little sad. He knew that this was the true spirit of Senior Brother Liu, but he also knew that his senior brother was no match for Wen Xiao. If he stayed, there might still be room for maneuver.
Faced with life and death, people are selfish. Xiao Yuhan's selfishness lies in the fact that even though he knows that leaving now is a sign of respect for his senior brother, he still doesn't want his senior brother to die here. So without saying anything, he directly attacked Wen Xiao.
Xiao Yuhan originally possessed the strength of the ninth level of the Void Rejuvenation Realm. With the enhancement of the Blood King Gu, he could reach the level of the seventh level of the Dao Integration Realm. If we disregard the level of swordsmanship, he was even stronger than Liu Jiantang. However, he was no match for Liu Jiantang before because Liu Jiantang's sword was truly terrifying. But now, he has comprehended Liu Jiantang's sword and evolved it according to his own understanding, resulting in even greater strength.
Even Wen Xiao's initial disgust turned to surprise, and then to delight. "This is truly unexpected, Xiao Yuhan. You actually possess such strength. Blood King Gu, you dare to use it like this? Aren't you afraid of turning into a monster?"
Wen Xiao's twin swords worked together flawlessly, and Xiao Yuhan dared not be careless in the slightest. The crimson sword in his right hand was heavy and had a strong suppressive force, while the blue immortal sword in his left hand was light and agile and extremely fast. In terms of quality, Junmo in Xiao Yuhan's hand was not as good as these two swords at all. After a few moves, Junmo was annihilated, and Xiao Yuhan's chest was cut by the sword energy.
Although Junmo can regenerate and recover, he is somewhat at a disadvantage in such a battle. Moreover, Wen Xiao's physical strength far exceeds his expectations, and the sword techniques developed based on Junmo's characteristics seem to have little effect on him.
Junmo was already unlikely to harm Wen Xiao, let alone the broken sword that had been reduced to fragments.
At this moment, Liu Jiantang disregarded any gentlemanly conduct. Seeing that Xiao Yuhan refused to leave, he had no choice but to step in and help. The two joined forces to fight the enemy, and the situation improved somewhat. Wen Xiao, however, remained completely calm and even laughed loudly, "Good! Good! You two are really good. But Xiao Yuhan, I still want to remind you that the Blood King Gu you are using will kill you. Think it over. You can still leave now before I decide to kill you."
"Enough with the nonsense. I've been at odds with the people of the Heavenly Demon Valley for ages." Xiao Yuhan said very clearly. After all, the Heavenly Demon Valley had repeatedly invaded the Heavenly Sword Sect. Last time, they destroyed the Heavenly Sword Sect's great formation and killed countless disciples. And this time, Wen Xiao wasn't the only one who came.
