Chapter 126 – Xue Qianbai’s sword style


Seven divine weapons stood in a circle. At this moment, Li Changqing really wanted to take out his phone, turn on the selfie mode, and capture how handsome he looked, then post it on his social circle.

This was simply too cool! Had his youthful dream of being a martial hero come true? And it wasn’t just one sword, but seven.

This had surpassed his martial arts dream, it was a dream of immortality. At this moment, Li Changqing felt an impulse. He wanted to keep these seven swords for himself.

If his son was to become stronger, he himself had to become stronger as well. Otherwise, how would he protect his son when he was in danger?

Although his current strength seemed adequate, Li Changqing also realized that he lacked effective offensive methods. When he had previously fought with Old Devil Xiang, his Dragon Seizing Hand had knocked Old Devil Xiang to the ground, injuring him, but he had not been able to kill him.

The bones of a fully realized innate expert had undergone a second transformation, making them extremely hard, practically impervious to swords and spears.

His Dragon Seizing Hand was not exactly a pure offensive method. The Cloud Hand technique he had learned from Old Devil Xiang could be considered an offensive method, but its lethality was limited.

Moreover, if the Xiang family found out that he was using this palm technique, it could potentially bring trouble to him. With these seven swords in his hands, if he learned some sword techniques, he should be able to increase his lethality. After all, it was evident from Xue Qianbai that sword techniques were very powerful.

As for what sword technique to learn, Li Changqing had set his sights on the “Seven Killings Green Lotus Diagram”. Li Changqing had not yet comprehended the painting and did not know if he could understand the extremely powerful Seven Killings Green Lotus Sword Formation from it. If he could, controlling the seven swords with his Divine Soul and deploying the sword formation should also be quite powerful.

Li Changqing was already planning. However, if Xue Qianbai knew about Li Changqing’s thoughts, he would probably be shocked by Li Changqing’s bizarre ideas.

One person controlling seven swords and wanting to form a sword formation with seven swords? What level of Divine Soul would that require?

None of the Painting Sages that Xue Qianbai had met so far had been able to do this.

“Jinglan, Qingliu, Shiyu, Yanque, Ruochen, Zhoushan, Shunkong, return!” With a point of Li Changqing’s fingers, the seven swords all returned to their scabbards with a whoosh.

The scabbard also closed instantly.

“What a treasure.” The more Li Changqing looked at it, the more he liked it.

“Don’t tell anyone about this, or no one will be able to save you.” Xue Qianbai reminded Li Changqing, after all, the matter of the seven divine swords of the Green Lotus Seven Sons was too big.

He felt that although Li Changqing’s cultivation was good, his experience was insufficient. Moreover, from his previous fight with Old Devil Xiang, it seemed that Li Changqing did not understand martial artists very well. If he was targeted, it could be very dangerous.

Understanding Xue Qianbai’s meaning, Li Changqing nodded solemnly. If people knew that he had seven divine weapons, he might really attract a pack of wolves.

After returning to his room, Li Changqing had no sleepiness at all. Having obtained the seven swords, he was a little excited, so he took out the “Seven Killings Green Lotus Diagram”. Li Changqing carefully looked at the picture, looking at the lotus in the painting.

His Divine Soul seeped into it, Li Changqing wanted to try and see if he could comprehend the Seven Killings Green Lotus Sword Formation.

In his view, paintings and wood carvings had commonalities. The next morning, the two left the inner city early. The matter had been settled, and Li Changqing and Xue Qianbai were ready to return to Minghong Prefecture. After all, they had caused trouble in North Cold City, and it was better to leave this place of right and wrong sooner.

However, just as the two had just reached the outer city and had not yet left the inner city gate far, they heard a voice from behind: “Qianxue Sword Sovereign, you came to North Cold Country and didn’t even meet an old friend.” The voice was deep, but also carried a hint of laziness.

Hearing this voice, Xue Qianbai did not turn his head, but frowned helplessly: “Trouble is coming.” Li Changqing turned his head and saw a burly general approaching!

The black armor on his body was particularly dazzling under the sun, but what shocked Li Changqing was the long spear on the general’s back!

Was that a spear? It was almost as thick as a pillar. The spear must be incredibly powerful when swung, and it looked very heavy, containing a terrifying force.

“This person must be Zhao Beiming, right?” Li Changqing thought in his heart. The person that even Xue Qianbai found troublesome.

Indeed, he looked very troublesome. Fortunately, it seemed that the other party was only paying attention to Xue Qianbai and did not look at him. Li Changqing quickly took a few steps and pretended not to know Xue Qianbai.

“General Zhao, I wouldn’t say we’re friends.” Xue Qianbai turned around and looked at Zhao Beiming. Behind Zhao Beiming were some soldiers, who were also curiously looking at Xue Qianbai, the person their general called a friend.

“It’s the Qianxue Sword Sovereign? How could they possibly not have heard of the Qianxue Sword Sovereign? He was dressed in white, elegant and free-spirited, with an indifferent expression, giving off a very cold impression that made him seem unapproachable.

Although there was no strong aura emanating from Xue Qianbai, he always gave off an incredibly sharp feeling.

It felt as if the moment one attacked him, they would be the one to die in the next second.

“It really saddens me to hear the Qianxue Sword Sovereign say such things.” Zhao Beiming picked at his ear with his finger, then approached Xue Qianbai.

His towering height of over two meters made Xue Qianbai seem frail in comparison.

“Regardless, we did meet through a fight.” Zhao Beiming said with a smile, “I wonder what brings the Qianxue Sword Sovereign to my North Cold City this time?”

“Just passing by.” Xue Qianbai replied calmly.

“Just passing by?” As Zhao Beiming was speaking, he suddenly looked towards Li Changqing, who was not far from Xue Qianbai, and asked, “Is he your friend?”

“I don’t know him.” Xue Qianbai glanced at Li Changqing and shook his head. Hearing this, Li Changqing looked around, then pointed at his own face in surprise and asked Zhao Beiming, “Are you talking about me? I don’t know him, I’m just here in North Cold Country for a visit, General, please don’t misunderstand.” It wasn’t that Li Changqing was unloyal, but he really wasn’t suitable to make a scene in North Cold City. Besides, with Xue Qianbai’s strength, there wouldn’t be any problems. If there were, he wouldn’t just stand by and watch.

“So you’re a traveler. I must have misunderstood.” Zhao Beiming said with a smile, then made a gesture and said, “I thought you were a friend of my friend. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, please feel free to go.”

“Alright, I won’t disturb your reunion.” Li Changqing kicked Fei at his feet and said, “Let’s go, I’ll buy you some meat, and then we’ll go home.” With that, Li Changqing and Fei disappeared into the crowd.

However, Zhao Beiming sneered and gave a signal to the soldiers behind him. The soldiers nodded in understanding and left the group. In Zhao Beiming’s view, Li Changqing was also very suspicious, so he wanted someone to follow him and see where he was going.

The soldiers chased in the direction where Li Changqing had just left. Xue Qianbai didn’t stop them. A few soldiers in the Postnatal Realm were nothing to worry about. The real trouble was him, being entangled by Zhao Beiming was not a good thing.

“If you have something to say, say it. If not, I’ll leave.” Xue Qianbai said indifferently.

“I didn’t have anything in particular, just wanted to catch up with an old friend and have a drink. But seeing that you, Qianxue Sword Sovereign, are so busy, let’s skip that. I have something private to discuss with you.” Zhao Beiming stretched his neck, “The night before last, Old Devil Xiang was killed in the outer city. According to my observation, it was the work of a sword master. I was wondering which sword master was so powerful that he could even kill a grandmaster like Old Devil Xiang. And today, I run into you, Qianxue Sword Sovereign. Isn’t that a coincidence?”

“Is that so? That is quite a coincidence, but I’m not very clear about this matter. I don’t know any Old Devil Xiang. I’m leaving.” Xue Qianbai finished speaking and turned to leave.

“Buzz!” The space trembled violently as a long spear descended, blocking Xue Qianbai’s path.

“Qianxue Sword Sovereign, committing murder in my North Cold Country is against our laws. If you don’t clarify this matter, I won’t let you leave so easily today.” Zhao Beiming said with a smile.

As soon as Zhao Beiming made his move, the people on the street were startled, and the soldiers under his command scattered.

They evacuated the civilians. In just a few breaths, the street was completely empty.

However, many experts in the dark had noticed what was happening here. Zhao Beiming’s spear had made quite a stir.

“Isn’t that Zhao Beiming? Who has been caught by this sticky fellow this time?” On a tower in the distance, two people were sitting across from each other.

The two were enjoying tea. One of them was an old man in black with white hair. He looked at the distance with a smile, as if he was looking forward to a good show.

The person across from him was a middle-aged man. Every move he made carried the majesty of a king. His sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes could make one’s soul tremble. His aura was incomparable.

“Qianxue Sword Sovereign, Xue Qianbai.” The man said calmly, “He actually came to North Cold City. It seems that the death of Old Devil Xiang the night before last was most likely his doing.””My eyesight isn’t what it used to be, I didn’t realize it was the Qianxue Sword Sovereign.” The old man chuckled, “But I’ve seen Old Devil Xiang’s corpse. It wasn’t just the Sword Sovereign involved, there must have been others. Old Devil Xiang’s internal organs were all damaged by shockwaves before he died.”

“It must have been a powerful palm print. The Qianxue Sword Sovereign has devoted his life to the sword, ignoring other martial arts. So, that palm print couldn’t have been his.” The old man stroked his beard as he spoke.

“Oh?” The man also expressed surprise, “They say the Sword Sovereign is a loner, but he teamed up with others?”

“Hahaha.” The old man laughed, “Not necessarily a team-up. A mere Old Devil Xiang wouldn’t require the Sword Sovereign to join forces with others.”

“After all, he is one of the few who comprehended the concept of ‘momentum’ at the Grandmaster level. Compared to the Sword Sovereign, Old Devil Xiang isn’t even fit to carry his shoes.” The old man said.

“There aren’t many who have comprehended ‘momentum’ at the Grandmaster level.” The man also showed a hint of surprise, then said, “Today’s going to be interesting. After all, Zhao Beiming is also someone who understood ‘momentum’ at the Grandmaster level. Their clash will be interesting.” On the street, Zhao Beiming blocked Xue Qianbai’s path with his long spear.

“Qianxue Sword Sovereign, it seems you’ll have to spend some time in my Northern Frost City’s jail today.” Zhao Beiming squinted his eyes.

“What a nuisance.” Xue Qianbai glanced at Zhao Beiming, a cold light flashing in his pupils.

The Qianxue Sword at his waist was drawn in an instant! He knew that today’s battle was inevitable. His sword move was as shocking as thunder.

Xue Qianbai’s sword was too fast, directly slashing onto Zhao Beiming’s Nine Truths Spear. A cold light from the sword, sword qi crisscrossing the void.

The arm holding the spear in Zhao Beiming’s hand instantly bulged with veins. Xue Qianbai’s sword qi was as heavy as a thousand catties, capable of splitting a mountain!

But Zhao Beiming still managed to block this sword, and at the same time, his Nine Truths Spear also swung out! The spear in Zhao Beiming’s hand was used like a long stick.

The force was as heavy as a thousand rivers. That power seemed capable of annihilating everything. The moment the two figures clashed, a shockwave swept around, as if a wild wind was raging, the bluestone slabs on the ground flew up and shattered in the strong wind.

Zhao Beiming was like a humanoid beast, each of his spear strikes was incredibly heavy, each one seemed like a mountain pressing down.

But Xue Qianbai’s sword was even more astonishing! The experts secretly watching the battle were speechless after seeing the two clash.

Because Xue Qianbai’s sword was so fast that they couldn’t see it at all. They only felt that Xue Qianbai’s hand seemed to be holding a thunderbolt, the power and speed of his sword were all imbued with the power of thunder.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves had passed. The two seemed to be holding nothing back. Xue Qianbai’s sword momentum was overwhelming, Zhao Beiming felt as if he had stepped into Xue Qianbai’s domain, with countless sword qi crisscrossing in this area, attacking from all directions, boundless and vast, leaving one at a loss as to how to dodge.

At this moment, Xue Qianbai seemed to have transformed into the master of this domain. His indifferent eyes were filled with sharp sword qi.

Under the Qianxue Sword, it was as if ten thousand swords were returning to their sect, the sword qi like a long river directly impacting Zhao Beiming.

“What a powerful sword!” Zhao Beiming felt it most acutely at this moment, he felt that not many Grandmasters could withstand Xue Qianbai’s sword.

Even if the Great Martial Sect came, they wouldn’t dare to resist it directly! Compared to the last time he fought with Xue Qianbai, this time was obviously much stronger.

However, despite this, Zhao Beiming’s eyes were filled with burning fighting spirit.

“Let me try the Sword Sovereign’s sword momentum.” Zhao Beiming laughed, his Nine Truths Spear trembled violently, and the spear light at this moment seemed to contain some kind of law, seemingly chaotic, but it stirred up the surrounding aura into a primordial momentum!

“That’s Zhao Beiming’s ‘momentum’!” On the tower, the old man in black was also shocked as he watched this scene.

Xue Qianbai’s sword momentum was extremely fierce, capable of annihilating everything. But Zhao Beiming’s ‘momentum’ was equally astonishing, his profound momentum directly placed himself in the domain, the primordial qi directly blocked Xue Qianbai’s sword qi outside, no matter how powerful Xue Qianbai’s sword qi was, at this moment it couldn’t hurt Zhao Beiming at all.

The two fought from one end of the street to the other, the dazzling sword qi was like fireworks filling the sky, even tearing the air apart.

But Zhao Beiming’s defense was invincible. His long spear directly blocked Xue Qianbai’s sword qi outside, shattering all of it.

However, the difference was that Zhao Beiming was clearly at a disadvantage at this moment, he had no way to attack Xue Qianbai, because if he relaxed a little, he would be injured by Xue Qianbai’s sword qi.

It can be said that at this moment, he was being suppressed by Xue Qianbai.”Zhao Beiming is clearly being suppressed,” the man on the tower chuckled.

“The two of them are now in a test of endurance. Whoever breaks the ‘momentum’ first, loses,” the elder also sat down and poured a cup of tea.

However, even so, many hidden masters were still watching with great interest. Both of them were top-notch powerhouses, and there was much to learn from their battle!

Where else could they witness such an exciting battle? They dared not miss any detail.

A sword, a spear. It was truly earth-shattering. Xue Qianbai genuinely felt that Zhao Beiming was the opponent he least wanted to face, as tough as a giant turtle shell, he simply couldn’t make a dent.

But now, it should be possible to escape. Li Changqing should have already left the city, right? Just as Xue Qianbai was about to sheathe his sword and leave, a faint voice came: “Surprise Gale.” As the voice fell, suddenly a sword aura soared into the sky, and a golden long sword flew over instantly!

The sword aura tore through the sky like a rip, charging towards Zhao Beiming!
