Chapter 819 - 822: What Makes a Master?

Lv Baicha didn’t want to fight Lan Xiangzi, but in the end, he was entangled by Lan Xiangzi and had to agree.

Peony, Lv Jieshi, and Madam Lv stood aside.

Lv Baicha and Lan Xiangzi had already drawn their swords, and Sword Qi clashed between them.

What Lan Xiangzi didn’t expect was that Lv Baicha, who had just started learning Sword Dao, had Sword Qi that was no less strong than Lan’s own, which he had cultivated through twenty years of hard work,

"Husband, who do you think will win?" Madam Lv asked,

"Our son, although he has a Great Venerable Pure Yang body, has only just begun sword training." Lv Jieshi sighed and said.

Although he didn’t give a direct answer, anyone with a discerning mind could tell that Lv Jieshi believed his son would lose.

"Really?" Madam Lv said,

"Yes." Lv Jieshi nodded and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Moreover, I’ve heard that Lan Xiangzi has received Jian Yin master’s inheritance."

"Jian Yin master? You mean the foremost swordsman from the Jin Jian Kingdom in years past?" Madam Lv was surprised.

"What’s the matter? Jian Yin master is very famous?" Peony curiously inquired.

"Yes, Jian Yin master was the top swordsman of the Jin Jian Kingdom back then. The two great masters of that kingdom at the time were Jin Jian and Sang Hai." Lv Jieshi replied, lamenting, "In my youth, when the Jin Jian Kingdom was still around, these two were highly revered."

Recalling the past, many sword learners knelt before Jian Yin master, begging for his instruction in swordsmanship.

The scene was truly spectacular.

"So impressive." Peony was shocked. She had a lot of confidence in Lv Baicha, thinking he had the aptitude for learning swordsmanship.

But now it seems...

..."Baicha, my sword skills are learned from Jian Yin master. My sword will definitely surpass yours." Lan Xiangzi confidently pointed his long sword.

"I believe it is you who should be cautious." Lv Baicha cautiously reminded.

The parents and others were unaware of the might of the Tian Dun Swordsmanship and the Pure Yang Sword, but how could he not know, with Lv Dongbin’s memory?

Jian Yin master’s swordsmanship could not compare to the Tian Dun Swordsmanship.

Based on the Tian Di Xuan Huang ranking, Jian Yin master’s sword technique was merely Xuan grade.

But the Tian Dun Swordsmanship was different; even at its lowest, it should be Heavenly Grade.

"Watch the sword." Lan Xiangzi shook his head, wondering if Baicha had been deceived by someone.

Having just learned swordsmanship, what good sword technique could one be taught?

Now, as Lan Xiangzi swung his sword, the sound of the sword’s hum echoed through the space, making one’s eardrums feel uncomfortable.

"What impressive swordsmanship." Under the sword sound, Lv Jieshi’s head was dizzy, his whole body weak, and he barely spoke.

Peony and Madam Lv were the same, unsteady on their feet. The sound of the sword softened them completely.

Except for Peony, Lv Jieshi, and Madam Lv were even more convinced that their son was about to lose.

But in the arena, Lv Baicha was not affected in the slightest,

Immediately, the Pure Yang Sword engaged Lan Xiangzi’s sword,

Clang, clang, clang!

The sound of the swords clashing was crisp and transmitted through the air, causing spatial ripples.

The next moment,

Although Lan Xiangzi’s sword didn’t break, it had many new notches.

"How can this be? Your sword..." Lan Xiangzi appeared surprised,

His sword was considered good,

Yet after a few collisions,

It ended up like this,

Why was this?

"It seems your sword has rarely killed." Lv Baicha smiled,

If Lan Xiangzi’s sword was stained with too much innocent blood, it would have been chopped by the Pure Yang Sword in an instant.

The Pure Yang Sword is a Supreme Treasure,

Weapons with excessive killings are increasingly suppressed by the Pure Yang Sword.

"Xiangzi, next, I’ll show you the real Tian Dun Swordsmanship." Lv Baicha smiled slightly.

"Bring it on." Lan Xiangzi wasn’t nervous; instead, he smiled.

He didn’t believe that Lv Baicha, who had just started learning swordsmanship, could have learned any good sword techniques.

As soon as he thought this,

Lv Baicha already drew his sword,

The Tian Dun Swordsmanship, as vast as the mind is vast, has countless variations,

The essence of this swordsmanship lies in the word ’enlightenment,’ never in rote memorization.

It has all offense and no defense, specifically targeting the weaknesses in the opponent’s swordsmanship.

Making it undefendable.

The Tian Dun in the Tian Dun Swordsmanship sounds the same as ’shield,’ but it’s not defense; it’s attack,

Attack is the strongest defense,

With this sword, it seemed to contain the might of the heavens. With one strike, Lan Xiangzi, facing it, immediately felt immense pressure,

This sword targeted his weaknesses, causing Lan Xiangzi to struggle for breath.

"How can this be?"

Lan Xiangzi never imagined such swordsmanship existed in the world.

Facing this sword, Lan Xiangzi could only continuously retreat.

Lv Baicha, also for the first time using Tian Dun Swordsmanship in a fight,

Didn’t expect it to be so powerful, the opponent’s moves having flaws, this sword would strike at those spots!

Finally, under the pressure of the Tian Dun Swordsmanship,

Lan Xiangzi was completely passive, feeling that no matter what move he used, it would be countered. Finally, with no retreat, the Pure Yang Sword was placed at his neck.

Lv Baicha sheathed his sword and, seeing the lost expression on Lan Xiangzi’s face, asked, "Are you alright?"

"How could I be okay? I’ve been practicing swordsmanship for twenty years, and you’ve only been at it for a few days?"

If Lan Xiangzi claimed he wasn’t shattered, that would be a lie.

He had served Jian Yin master for many years to learn swordsmanship and gain some inheritance.

But Lv Baicha?

In a short while, he had inherited such swordsmanship,

How was this possible?

"The Ancestor of Blood Refinement, he is truly a high-level mentor." Facing Lan Xiangzi’s doubts, Lv Baicha could only say, "On my first day as his disciple, he taught me such swordsmanship."

"This..." Lan Xiangzi swayed, almost fainting.

Other mentors,

At least required disciples to serve for years before truly imparting a trick or two.

But this Ancestor of Blood Refinement?

Did the opposite.

What kind of... high-level mentor is this?

Lv Baicha suddenly said, "Xiangzi, you seem to know something about me. What’s going on?"

Lan Xiangzi came back to his senses and said, "Jian Yin master said so, said I had a friend who was deceived by a guy with an undeserved reputation, and I came to wake you up, but I didn’t expect..."

"Oh?" Lv Baicha’s face darkened.

The times were changing; now, in the Three Realms, the most famous predecessor was, of course, the Ancestor of Blood Refinement.

It seemed this Jian Yin master was not accepting aging gracefully, a bit envious indeed.

...Meanwhile, Wu Tian’s Spiritual Sense finally came out of the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House, with a virtual realm scroll appearing in his palm,

Originally, Wu Tian wanted to give Qin Yuhan the treasures from Nuwa’s Palace.

But Nuwa’s Palace, with too many labyrinths, nothing Supreme Treasure of Nuwa was found.

This is an unresolved question.

Where did the Magical Treasure of Nuwa go?

"How is it?" Lady Sang Hai asked as she saw Wu Tian finally taking action,

Old Huangpi also impatiently looked at Wu Tian.

His grandson, the Pangolin, recently encountered troubles.

He still wanted to take his grandson to the Blood Refiners Guild.

But the time?

Was wasted quite a bit by Wu Tian.

"It’s done." Wu Tian smiled slightly, raising the scroll in his hand.

"Is this... the Supreme Illusion Technique Treasure?"

Lady Sang Hai and Old Huangpi suddenly thought of something, their eyes widened, almost dropping their eyeballs.
