The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 157 - 146: Fearless Sword Intent, Unleashing Divine Might

Chapter 157: Chapter 146: Fearless Sword Intent, Unleashing Divine Might

Chu Huaixu has too many trump cards.

If he plays all his trump cards, his overall combat power is quite exaggerated.

However, he’s also unsure whether Xiaoxu, wielding the Evil Sword with his left hand, has managed to unleash a portion of its power.

"Is it at fifty percent?" he wondered to himself.

But even if it’s really fifty percent, if Xu Ziqing wields the sword with his right hand, he estimates that he would still undoubtedly lose at this stage.

This put him under a lot of pressure.

"Should I just have Xiaoxu surrender?"

"Anyway, it’s just a matter of me saying a word," Chu Huaixu mused.

If he asked Xiaoxu to withdraw from the competition, he might immediately do so.

But of course, that was just a joke.

The Heart Sword within his Sea of Consciousness seemed to sense his emotions.

It dragged its sickly "body" and still tried to cheer Chu Huaixu on, its fighting spirit incredibly high.

"You might be mindlessly eager for battle, but I have to face reality," he smiled wryly.

On the other side, after today’s matches concluded, Situ Cheng and others flew to Junzi Temple.

Xiang Yan and others went with them; after all, this Sect still needed the Sect Leader to preside over the big picture.

Despite Xiang Yan’s bald, extremely ugly, and fierce-looking appearance, even his voice was horribly unpleasant to hear.

He was undoubtedly the most reliable among the high-level members of the Daoist Sect.

Otherwise, with just his looks, he wouldn’t be fit to sit on the throne of one of the righteous leaders!

Inside Junzi Temple, Xu Ziqing had already been sent off by Jiang Zhi, sitting on a cushion in the Training Room, digesting the effects of the Spirit Pill to heal his wounds.

The Daoist Junior Martial Uncle lay on a rattan chair, enjoying the autumn breeze under the tree, looking extremely relaxed.

Situ Cheng and the others soon flew over in the air.

He slightly raised his eyes and casually said, "Sit."

Once everyone was seated, they went straight to the point.

The central topic was naturally about Xu Ziqing and the Daoist Ancestor Sword.

The Daoist Sect people did not hide much, directly speaking about part of the content from the Daoist Ancestor’s Proverbs.

Besides that, they didn’t hide Xu Ziqing’s identity as a Sword Attendant.

Situ Cheng and the others exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat relieved upon hearing that the Dao Ancestor had left a backup with the sword.

After all, if one can’t rely on the Dao Ancestor, then nobody could suppress the sword, and everyone could just give up.

So, the topic of discussion was how to collectively destroy this sword!

— Though it’s still unlikely to be destroyed by eighty percent...

"So, Elder Jiang, you previously mentioned that this round of the Origin Spirit Realm would be far more perilous than before. Is this the path pointed out by the Dao Ancestor?" Teng Lingyi asked.

"That’s right," Jiang Zhi replied.

He glanced at everyone and said directly, "Otherwise, just relying on the few disciples within your Sect, can they survive entering the first layer of the Origin Spirit Realm and complete the task successfully?"

"Just sending them to their deaths," he snorted coldly.

Situ Cheng and the others opened their mouths but had nothing to refute.

In fact, after the last discussion in the main hall, they were quite worried when they went back.

"Does the East Continent Competition really have any significance?"

"If this round of the Origin Spirit Realm is really that perilous, are we choosing our best disciples just to send them to die?"

They suddenly felt that the champion’s position was not so appealing anymore.

These three great cultivators of the Eighth Realm were deeply conflicted.

But as it stands now, everyone seems to be just accompanying the race.

"The disciples we brought along have all just become grindstones for Xu Ziqing’s sword? Just trials for him?" the three thought.

But looking at the big picture, this indeed benefits the great scheme.

After all, the calamity of heaven and earth involves the entire Profound Yellow Realm.

The Four Great Sects remain united in the bigger picture, and these three great cultivators visiting the Daoist Sect are absolutely reliable. Otherwise, the Daoist people wouldn’t have been so candid.

After chatting for a long while, everyone left Junzi Temple.

While flying, Li Chunsong couldn’t help but rub his hands again.

Xiang Yan and the others looked at his behavior and felt a bit helpless.

Seeing him flying over to the side of Mei Chuxue and others, his hands rubbing faster and his face full of words yet unspoken.

"Daoist Li, you want to gamble again, don’t you? Just say it bluntly," the older Teng Lingyi said with a smile.

The gambling addict immediately discussed the gambling situation briefly.

The three heard it and immediately gave him a strange look.

"You’re betting on Chu Huaixu to win with Chu Yinyin and Shen Man?" Mei Chuxue asked in confusion.

Today, she had seen the sword Xu Ziqing wielded firsthand.

She really couldn’t imagine how Chu Huaixu, also in the First Realm, could block it!

No wonder Li Chunsong always loses his bets; what are you going to win with?

As for Chu Yinyin, she’s just childlike.

Shen Man is hard to grasp, always been a strange person, very peculiar.

Mei Chuxue, this scantily clad, fiery woman, instantly had a brilliant smile.

If someone came to give away, why refuse?

"I bet on Xu Ziqing," she said with a smile.

Li Chunsong, hearing this, then looked at Situ Cheng and Teng Lingyi.

Teng Lingyi just waved his hand, not wanting to earn from him.

Situ Cheng snorted coldly, "Not interested."

...

...

The next day, the East Continent Competition proceeded smoothly.

The duel between Chu Huaixu and Zhao Xinghan was the third match of the day.

The first two matches were intense but not exciting.

Both sides had about the same level, fighting a seesaw battle.

Zhao Xinghan was quite nervous today, but amidst the nerves, he was also filled with fighting spirit and a hint of excitement.

"In the East Continent Competition, one should fight with strong opponents of similar strength!"

"Others don’t interest me!" he thought.

But he still remembered the previous words of Teng Lingyi, keeping in mind not to let a tough opponent like Chu Huaixu, who excels in Sword and Body Dual Cultivation, easily get close.
