The sword's power was overwhelming, and its aura was as sharp as gold.
Chen Sheng's mind and spirit began to feel insignificant, as well as a sense of being torn apart from the inside out.
He stood still, suppressing the encroaching sword intent, his eyes bright and shining.
"clang"
In response to Yu Xiao, an even more ferocious sword force came. He drew his sword and slashed. An extreme light burst out from the empty sky. The sword intent was long and winding. Although it was only a line, it was sharp enough to separate yin and yang.
Yu Xiao pulled his hand back. His sword intent was fierce, but his fingers were not as strong as the weapon. If he forced it, he would probably end up with a broken hand.
"Sect Master Yu Xiao, why are you retreating? Why don't you teach me some sword skills?"
Chen Sheng followed like a shadow, stepping on Yu Xiao's reflection. No matter how fast the other party dodged, he could always get close to him.
His hands did not stop, swish, swish, he swung the sword dozens of times in one breath. The sword light was like plum petals falling in the wind in the dead of winter, floating and scattered, very naturally.
When he was not involved, Yu Xiao would definitely admire Chen Sheng's superb swordsmanship. The sword light was as colorful as petals and extremely exquisite.
However, when he was in the middle of it, his heart was cold and his steps were cautious, as if he was walking on the water, trying his best not to create ripples.
"The Cangnan Sword Sect is worthy of being a sword cultivation sect. It is admirable."
Chen Sheng flew dozens of feet in one breath, and the rise and fall of the sword light was like the petals of a plum blossom, staggered and orderly, with a sense of exquisite calculation in its naturalness.
In this way, the murderous intent of every sword could not hurt Yu Xiao at all. He was completely exhausted and retreated safely.
"What surprised me was that Master Chen Dan's swordsmanship was so profound."
Yu Xiao walked out of the murderous intent, stood with his hands behind his back, his robe fluttering slightly, giving him a kind of charm that was untainted by the dust.
In fact, his palms were already covered with a thin layer of cold sweat.
Chen Sheng's fighting consciousness was beyond his expectation, it was very strong. Once he gained the upper hand, the sword light was continuous, and his sword skills foundation was so solid that he even showed a sign of being unable to break free.
The information showed that he was a top-notch second-class alchemist. He didn't look like a master of the swordsmanship at all.
"Chen has been practicing swordsmanship for about 180 years."
A trace of regret flashed across Chen Sheng's face. After he had learned the Star-Slashing Sword Technique for free from the outer sect's scripture library, he had been practicing that sword technique day and night.
Later, as he practiced sword dancing more often, he developed a feel for it and knew how to swing the sword in order to unleash greater power.
"Not short anymore."
Yu Xiao was surprised. The age of this person who practiced swordsmanship was much older than that of the monks in his Cangnan Sword Sect. Only a few could surpass that age.
Especially since he is an alchemist and has little experience in combat, it is even more precious that he has such attainments in swordsmanship.
"clang"
Chen Sheng exhaled all the air and dispersed the foul air. After saying two or three words, he had recovered his spirits and rushed towards Yu Xiao again.
Yu Xiao was in the same situation. He calmed himself down, took out his magic sword, and with the sharp weapon in hand, he showed the demeanor of a powerful swordsman.
In the void, the swords clashed, causing practitioners from all sides to retreat one after another, not daring to approach this place.
"call……"
The two fought fiercely. Seeing that he could not defeat Chen Sheng for a long time, Yu Xiao took a long breath. His robe was filled with wind and his figure seemed to become extremely tall.
He turned his magic sword, and a sense of darkness appeared in all directions. Even with the eyesight of an immortal cultivator, his vision was severely obstructed.
Then, there were vague and invisible sword auras that came across, silently and suddenly.
This is a sword technique from the Cangnan Sword School, called "Youhe Duanwang". It kills people invisibly and is extremely sharp and cruel.
"The weak body is cold, and there is no defense."
Chen Sheng felt it clearly. This sword required great skill. If he tried to counter it with pure magic power and swordsmanship, he would be beaten to pieces.
He raised his eyes slightly, and saw dark murderous auras everywhere, as well as misty sword energy that was seeking lives. It was truly a world without light.
"Star Cutting!"
He exerted force with his hands, gripping the iron sword a little tighter, and his heart seemed to calm down a lot, emitting an aura of peace of mind.
In this tranquility, his eyes were like water, able to see through many confusions. He found a weak flaw and cut it down with a sword.
This sword was extremely bright, and it dispelled the darkness between heaven and earth. It was like the light of a starry night, hanging down over the vast wilderness, showing great openness.
In the vast space, the sword intent did not dissipate, containing extreme sharpness and toughness, and it was determined to kill through the sea of stars in the universe and destroy the stars.
"Practicing swordsmanship for 180 years, that's what it means."
Yu Xiao suddenly understood that when Chen Sheng embarked on the path of cultivation, he really worked hard in the way of the sword in order to achieve a magnificent and powerful sword.
“Crack…”
The Youhe Duanming sword technique was broken, and the invisible sword intent swept away the power of Zhanxing, leaving the sky full of destruction.
The remaining force did not diminish, and Yu Xiao was affected. His body shook, and his clothes were torn into pieces. His skin was oozing with faint traces of blood, and he looked extremely miserable.
"sharp."
As a sword cultivator, he was also amazed by the Star-Slashing Sword. This sword was extremely grand and contained great ambition to pursue the greatness of the stars in a limited time.
Even though they were rivals, he still admired Chen Shengsheng.
At least, he couldn't.
This sword has a mediocre starting point and its future is far from being reached. It is already terrifying to be able to cultivate to this level in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"It's not as complicated as you think. This sword is just the most suitable for me."
Chen Sheng knew that Yu Xiao had seen through Zhan Xing's true colors. It was almost impossible to perfect the sword skill, but he had cultivated it to such a profound level. The effort he had put into it had already exceeded the limits of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.
That can only be achieved with true love and persistence.
But if we remove the shackles of life span, then everything will become ordinary and unimportant.
"No matter what happens in this battle, I have no regrets."
Yu Xiao looked serious. He could not think of any way to belittle such an opponent. This was his pride as a swordsman.
After he finished speaking, his aura increased greatly, and he was practicing a secret technique. His spirit and energy were burning rapidly, his vitality was decreasing, but his magic power was as powerful as the surging river, which was extremely shocking.
Chen Sheng felt the pressure. Yu Xiao was a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment Stage, one small realm higher than him. This time he used a secret technique with such powerful force that he could not resist at all.
"clang"
Yu Xiao used his secret technique to climb to a higher realm. A terrifying light flashed in his eyes. He swung his sword with a majestic aura.
In the void heaven and earth, a mighty sword energy emerged, sweeping over a hundred miles. Countless flames of light appeared and disappeared in it, generating a terrifying destructive force.
The Flaming Sword was the best weapon of the Cangnan Sword School. When the sword came out, it was like the sun and stars rioting, causing destruction all over the place.
Chen Sheng's body and mind were hot, and the source of his life showed signs of spontaneous combustion and destruction. He realized that he was being disturbed by Yu Xiao's sword intent, and his mind sank and he calmed down his distracting thoughts.
He swung his sword, and the sword energy was majestic and dazzling, covering a large area of the sky. The ubiquitous restlessness was slightly suppressed.
“Boom…”
The two sword intentions collided in the sky, causing a wave of strange waves that extended far and wide, shaking the blood and qi of all the cultivators on the battlefield, making them panic-stricken.
Chen Sheng was still at a disadvantage. Yu Xiao, who was in the late stage of foundation building, used his secret technique to perform his most powerful sword moves, which was extremely impressive.
His breathing was unstable, which impacted his internal organs. He spurted out a mouthful of blood, staining his robe red.
Yu Xiao seized this flaw. His spirit was already extremely high. He let out a long roar toward the sky, and a surge of spiritual energy poured into his body from his mouth and nose.
He condensed the sword in his stomach, which was flowing with jade color and carrying half of his energy. He opened his mouth and killed Chen Sheng with a buzzing sound.
This attack was extremely terrifying, containing the ultimate combat power of a person in the late Foundation Establishment Stage. When the enemy's momentum was weakened, its edge was unmatched.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You'll make mistakes in a hurry."
Chen Sheng looked calm. Yu Xiao's repeated attacks were effective against ordinary cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but he became impatient when he met someone who was protected by a treasure.
If you throw out all your trump cards at once and nothing works, that's when you'll be defeated.
“Buzz…”
At this time, a precious orb appeared above the battlefield, like a sun hanging in the sky, dispersing all the lingering evil spirits.
Chen Sheng stood on it, his whole body covered with a layer of brilliant halo, as if a god standing in the sky, majestic and sacred.
The sword in the abdomen could only be shaken slightly by the full-strength attack of a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and it shattered and dissipated in an instant.
"How could this be?"
Seeing this, Yu Xiao was shocked. He had used his ultimate move, but it was broken.
Afterwards, his momentum dropped, a fall like a cliff, and there was even a hint of his sunset.
"puff"
Chen Sheng drew his sword, and the sword light was extremely sharp, pushing Yu Xiao's weakened state into the abyss, thus killing a great enemy.
"metropolitan!"
Yu Xiao's body fell from the sky and hit the battlefield, immediately causing a huge response.
The morale of the Cangnan Sword Sect collapsed, and the monks in the camp were suppressed in an instant, and they were beaten so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads.
"I can't do it alone, I..."
When Yu Yan saw Yu Xiao's death, he knew that the situation was hopeless. There were two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the camp, and he alone could not turn the situation around.
But if he escaped and ignored the disciples of Cangnan Sword Sect, it would also be inappropriate, and he would not be able to explain to Langya Immortal Sect when he returned.
"Thief, come and die."
At this moment of panic, Yi Yuanlu seized the opportunity. He slashed down with his sword, and an unparalleled thunderous sound exploded, whistling and shaking, destroying Yu Yan's internal organs and splitting him in half with the sword.
By this time, the Cangnan Sword Sect was no longer able to cause any trouble, and all the invading enemies were killed.
Without these elite members, the power of the Taoist tradition collapsed, and it became a question whether it could continue.
"The might of the Dong family."
The disaster in the camp was resolved, leaving behind the bodies of the bandits on the ground. Zhang Lu, who was in charge of internal affairs, was very excited. He surrounded Chen Sheng and boasted to him.
It can be seen that he is really happy, and he is not the kind of person who flatters others and makes others envy him. Sometimes it is not a bad thing to show your true nature.
"This is all thanks to everyone's efforts, and everyone will be rewarded."
There was some joy in Chen Sheng's eyes, not because he was happy about the destruction of the Cangnan Sword Sect, but because he had been running the sect for seven years and it was finally useful.
A second-rate immortal sect attacked with all its might, but was killed by them.
He looked around and saw Yi Yuanlu and the others. All of them had blood on their bodies, either from the enemy or their own, but no sound was made.
These people are the backbone of the camp. Without them, the camp would have been destroyed today.
To be rewarded, the reward shall be given according to the rules.
"Thank you, sir."
Yi Yuanlu was the first to agree, and then one by one the cultivators followed, all with happy expressions on their faces. They felt at ease following such a boss, as they would be rewarded for their merits, and the rewards would be generous.
All the fighting and melee were worth it, and they will be willing to fight and kill the enemy next time.
For a period of time afterwards, the camp became much quieter. A small group of troops attacked, but perhaps because of the shock from the Cangnan Sword Sect, the enemy fled after just a brief exploration.
More than half a month later.
Zhao Mang was transferred to the camp. He looked tired, with messy hair and clothes, which was obviously the result of a series of battles.
"The senior wiped out the scoundrels in one battle. It's admirable."
He heard that the Cangnan Sword Sect attacked the camp but could not even enter the camp gate, so they directly killed Chen Sheng and others.
The foreign enemies were annihilated so quickly that even the people of Qingping Valley were somewhat stunned. They could only sigh that the camp was so well-managed that it was as solid as a rock.
"It's just a force that bypassed the front line and fled to the hinterland. It's not worth mentioning."
The one that truly resisted the attack of the Langya Immortal Sect was Qingping Valley. Chen Sheng was not so arrogant as to think that he was the hero who protected this area.
Compared to his side, Qingping Valley is under greater pressure. Looking at Zhao Mang's appearance, one can tell that the fighting on the front line is fierce.
"How's the battle situation at the front?"
He asked.
"It's still a stalemate. The will of the Langya Immortal Sect is always difficult to defeat."
There was a hint of helplessness in Zhao Mang's words. After this battle, he had seen clearly the horror of the Immortal Sect.
Although Qingping Valley has gained great reputation in the past seven years, compared with such a behemoth, its foundation is still too shallow.
"Just drag it out."
Chen Sheng never expected Qingping Valley to be able to defeat the Langya Immortal Sect. On the contrary, even Qingping Valley had the same idea.
The chaos in the border areas is the result of a contest among the five great immortal sects. They are just waving the flags and shouting slogans, but the immortal sects are the ones who truly determine the situation.
"The Langya Immortal Sect's plan to advance was intercepted by us, but they will destroy the soil we defend against. More than a dozen Jinyu Halls have been swept away."
Zhao Mang said that there was a little pressure. If there was no large amount of resources fed back, the continued stalemate in the war would drag down Qingping Valley.
"It's okay. After all, Qingping Valley is within the territory of Guangxiu Immortal Sect. Langya Immortal Sect can't reach far and can't overthrow our base."
Chen Sheng is a member of the Immortal Sect and has no fear of the Langya Immortal Sect at all.
Both sides are huge monsters that can call the shots within their own territories, but once they cross the line, they become uncomfortable and lose their power.
"They have also noticed this, and a large amount of elixirs may flow in to squeeze our living space."
Taoist Hengyu noticed this hidden danger and asked Zhao Mang to come and tell Chen Sheng to be careful.
Now, their lives and fortunes mostly depend on this elixir.
"That's even better. I can handle the matters concerning the Dao of Alchemy."
Chen Sheng couldn’t guarantee anything else, but he was somewhat confident about the elixir.
The second-level alchemist who can refine the Qianyuan Dragon-Tiger Pill is already the most top-notch alchemy master in the border area.
With him in charge of the camp, in a fair competition, I don’t believe that the quality of the elixirs in the camp will be inferior.
