Perhaps it was because Chu Qinghe's strength had increased too quickly, or perhaps it was because Dongfang Bubai was curious about Chu Qinghe's newly entered "Heavenly Sword Realm".
After his gaze lingered on Chu Qinghe for a few moments, Dongfang Bubai spoke up, "Now I'm rather curious about what level your strength has reached."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe smiled gently as he looked at Dongfang Bubai, who was clearly eager to try.
Then, he lazily stood up, slightly bent his legs, leaped into the air, and then lightly landed on a rose.
Seeing Chu Qinghe's casual demeanor, Dongfang Bubai raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and then instantly appeared in front of Chu Qinghe, raising his right hand to slap Chu Qinghe's chest.
The speed of this palm strike was so fast that it left afterimages along its path, making it seem as if a dozen palms were striking Chu Qinghe in unison.
Despite Dongfang Bubai's attack, Chu Qinghe's expression remained unchanged, still carrying that lazy air.
However, just as Dongfang Bubai's palm was less than a foot away from Chu Qinghe's chest, a semi-transparent sword aura suddenly shot out from Chu Qinghe's chest and shot towards Dongfang Bubai. It then easily broke through the true energy around Dongfang Bubai's palm, as easily as a sword piercing tofu.
Sensing the rapidly breaking true energy around his palm, Dongfang Bubai raised an eyebrow and instantly bent the five fingers of his right hand.
As the true energy within his body circulated along a special route, five soft, boneless, and serpentine crimson sword energies, mixed with the proud snow sword intent wielded by Dongfang Bubai, burst forth instantly and rushed towards the sword energy in front of his hand.
It is precisely the "Innate Formless Sword Finger".
After all, sword intent was used. With the enhancement of sword intent, the five blood-red sword energies that burst forth from Dongfang Bubai's fingertips instantly shattered the sword energy emitted by Chu Qinghe.
Chu Qinghe chuckled inwardly as he took in Dongfang Bubai's actions.
The next instant, accompanied by dozens of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." sounds, dozens of sword energies burst forth from Chu Qinghe's chest and rushed toward Dongfang Bubai as if a cage had been opened.
Faced with so many sword energies, even Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but frown slightly. With a sudden flash of his true energy, he moved behind Chu Qinghe.
However, just as Dongfang Bubai flashed behind Chu Qinghe at a speed that was almost like teleportation, before Dongfang Bubai could make any further moves, he heard a series of rapid whooshing sounds.
Looking up, they saw that the dozens of sword energies that had just emanated from Chu Qinghe's chest were now arcing through the air, grazing past Chu Qinghe's shoulders and waist as they shot towards Dongfang Bubai.
Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai knew perfectly well that when Chu Qinghe unleashed those dozens of sword energies, he had already anticipated that Dongfang Bubai would change his form and move behind him.
This wasn't the first time Dongfang Bubai and Chu Qinghe had sparred, and Dongfang Bubai already had a good understanding of Chu Qinghe's combat awareness and experience.
Dongfang Bubai was not surprised when he discovered that Chu Qinghe had actually predicted his attack.
As he swiftly dodged, the sword energy beneath Dongfang Bubai's feet propelled him to the side, giving him a light and agile appearance.
At the same time, he flicked his finger, and a blood-red and incomparably condensed sword aura shot out. The moment the sword aura left Dongfang Bubai's fingertip, it also transformed into dozens of sword auras, each of which contained sword light and sword intent.
Taking in the movements of Dongfang Bubai behind him, Chu Qinghe nodded to himself.
Although it was only a short time, Dongfang Bubai was able to use the flicking sword, toe sword, and soft sword techniques in the "Innate Formless Finger Sword" extremely smoothly.
Furthermore, when used in conjunction with the martial arts techniques of the "Sunflower Manual," there is absolutely no awkwardness or clumsiness.
This alone shows that Dongfang Bubai has reached the realm of "returning to simplicity" in the "Innate Formless Sword Finger Technique".
Furthermore, his application of sword intent has become increasingly refined.
However, compared to a swordsman like Chu Qinghe, Dongfang...
However, Bubai's application of this sword intent was still relatively immature and simplistic.
It was somewhat weaker than the way Yaoyue incorporated sword intent into "Transplanting Flowers and Jade".
As thoughts raced through his mind, Chu Qinghe glanced at Dongfang Bubai, who was attacking him once again, and quickly mobilized his primordial true energy.
Immediately afterwards, in Dongfang Bubai's sight, streaks of translucent sword energy shot out from around Chu Qinghe and even from between his eyebrows.
Almost instantly, hundreds or even thousands of translucent sword energies gathered and swirled around.
As the sword energy condensed, it transformed into nine long, flowing sword energy dragons.
As these nine sword energy dragons moved in alternation, they completely protected Chu Qinghe's body.
Qu Feiyan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but say, "Sister Situ, does Young Master's move sound like a move from your 'Divine Water Technique'?"
Listening to Qu Feiyan's words, Shuimu Yinji smiled and said, "It's only similar in appearance. Moreover, the nine dragon shapes that Qinghe created simply by condensing sword energy are more difficult than when I used the Divine Water Technique."
At the same time, looking at the nine sword energy dragons slowly flowing around Chu Qinghe, Dongfang Bubai could easily recognize that this was clearly the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Position" move from his "Innate Formless Finger Sword".
However, just as Dongfang Bubai recognized the move Chu Qinghe was using, the next second, streams of heaven and earth power gathered under Chu Qinghe's manipulation.
