Chapter 626
Su Xuan had never underestimated the experts of this world. Although this world is a Wu Xia world and the so-called Heaven-Man level is not very strong to him, this is merely a limitation of the world. The world can limit a person's strength, but it cannot limit a person's talent or wisdom.
Zhuang Zhou, as a once-proud figure of the Daoist Human Sect, had once suppressed an entire generation. Su Xuan had only taken a few glances at the "Free and Easy Wandering" he created before glimpsing its profound mysteries.
Before Zhuang Zhou, the Daoist Heaven Sect had always suppressed the Human Sect, not only because the Heaven Sect had successively produced two supreme figures, Liezi and Yang Zhu, but also because the Heaven Sect had mastered the supreme ultimate technique passed down from the Dao Ancestor: "Harmonizing with the Light and Dust"—harmonizing with its light and dust, blunting its sharpness, and resolving its complexity. With the help of this ultimate technique, the user can be inherently invincible, which can be described as immune to all techniques, while the user of "Harmonizing with the Light and Dust" can wantonly launch attacks on their opponents.
Throughout the generations of the Human Sect, countless people have been defeated by "Harmonizing with the Light and Dust."
Until the appearance of Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou's talent was unparalleled; he created the "Free and Easy Wandering." The body is unrestricted, and the heart is free and at ease. The "Free and Easy Wandering" is different from "Harmonizing with the Light and Dust," but once one enters that mysterious realm, one can roam wantonly between heaven and earth.
Whether it is magic or swordsmanship, nothing can stop this roaming of the body and spirit.
It was also after Zhuang Zhou that the Human Sect truly had the capital to contend with the Heaven Sect.
Within the Yin-Yang School, the name for Zhuang Zhou is "The Mad Scholar"!
The single word "Mad" says it all.
The Yin-Yang School is very mad, one could even say arrogant, but Zhuang Zhou was even madder than the Yin-Yang School.
"I want to see how long you can hide."
Under Su Xuan's manipulation, the broken sword that had been severed by him pursued Xiaoyaozi incessantly. Xiaoyaozi threw away the sword hilt in his hand at will and kept dodging the tracking of the broken sword.
The speed of the broken sword was very fast. If one ignores its appearance, it is no different from the flying swords Su Xuan used to manipulate in the past.
The first expert killed by Su Xuan's flying sword technique was Bai Bai Yifei. Later, Ji Wuye and Donghuang Taiyi were unable to dodge Su Xuan's flying sword technique. Unlike the Daoist School's sword-driving technique, this is what can be considered a true flying sword technique.
The sword tip comes with a lock-on feature; it does not return without drawing blood.
But Xiaoyaozi is not an ordinary person after all. Facing the broken sword manipulated by Su Xuan, he used the "Free and Easy Wandering" to display an unprecedentedly mysterious movement technique. In an instant, several afterimages appeared on the Guanmiao Terrace.
The broken sword kept piercing through the afterimages, yet it could never do anything to him.
The voice of another Daoist disciple rang out.
"Sect Master, catch the sword!"
Two swords were thrown out one after another from the hands of Heaven Sect and Human Sect disciples, flying toward the Guanmiao Terrace. Chi Songzi leaped up, caught one sword, and the sword tip erupted with boundless light, shrouding toward Su Xuan.
Su Xuan swung the Xueji, and with one sword strike, he broke the sword light unleashed by Chi Songzi.
Taking advantage of this gap, Xiaoyaozi caught the other sword. He poured all his internal energy into the sword in his hand. Immediately, the long sword hummed lightly, and then, utilizing the characteristics of the "Free and Easy Wandering," he thrust out a swift sword strike.
Two swords arrived at Su Xuan's side simultaneously.
Su Xuan smiled faintly; his clothes and hair rose at the same time, and an invisible force suddenly spread out.
Crack, crack...
Both swords shattered into pieces simultaneously. Then, the invisible force struck Chi Songzi and Xiaoyaozi. Regardless of who was stronger or weaker, both suffered the same fate: fresh blood sprayed from their mouths, and their bodies were squeezed by the invisible force, flying off the Guanmiao Terrace.
"Sect Master!"
"Sect Master!"
Many disciples from the Human Sect and Heaven Sect leaped out one after another to catch their respective Sect Masters.
No one had expected such a result.
Admittedly, when they were discussing swords earlier, Chi Songzi and Xiaoyaozi had each consumed a portion of their cultivation power because they had been fighting for a long time, but even with that consumption, it shouldn't have ended like this.
The two of them joined forces, yet they were defeated by Su Xuan.
And it was so easy.
Granted, when Su Xuan snatched the Xueji sword earlier, he had revealed a mysterious technique, but that could also be attributed to Su Xuan using some strange means, causing Chi Songzi to be caught off guard, leading to the Xueji slipping from his hand.
But the subsequent developments still exceeded the expectations of all the Daoist people.
"How could it be like this?"
Some Daoist disciples whose Dao hearts were not very firm gradually began to waver. Their bodies swayed, finding it hard to accept this result.
"The two Sect Masters, even joining forces, lost!"
"The Yin-Yang School, is it actually this strong?"
"A demon, a demon indeed!"
"Is there anyone else who can defeat him?"
Whether it was the Heaven Sect or the Human Sect, many people's moods became extremely complex.
That Chi Songzi and Xiaoyaozi would lose was something they had not anticipated.
Today is a big day for the Daoist School.
The two sects hold a sword discussion on the Guanmiao Terrace every five years. The winner can hold the Xueji for five years. As the orthodox Daoist School, during these five years, the winner is respected by both heaven and man. Because the Heaven Sect had held the Xueji for two consecutive terms, many Heaven Sect disciples hoped their Sect Master would win the Xueji battle again, so that the Heaven Sect could suppress the Human Sect for another five years. The Human Sect was also holding its breath; after all, having lost twice in a row, they did not want to lose again and vowed to win this sword discussion.
As a result, no one expected that while the two Sect Masters were locked in a stalemate, the Yin-Yang School would intervene.
There were no other Yin-Yang School people appearing, just the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School. With his own strength, he moved unimpeded. Many of the Human Sect's mountain guards could not do anything to him. Later, the Human Sect Elders and Heaven Sect Elders were also defeated by him.
After he ascended the Guanmiao Terrace, he even easily snatched away the Xueji sword.
Now, the two Sect Masters have also been defeated.
In this sword discussion, the Heaven and Human sects suddenly all became foils and jokes.
Looking at Su Xuan, who was still standing on the Guanmiao Terrace holding the Xueji sword.
Some were filled with righteous indignation, wishing to rush onto the Guanmiao Terrace to fight Su Xuan to the death, while others felt a heavy pressure.
Su Xuan was watched by everyone. His expression was calm, without any change. After standing quietly for a while, he seemed to sense a trace of energy, and his gaze immediately looked toward a certain direction.
"You've finally come!"
Who? Who came?
Hearing this, the disciples of the Heaven Sect and Human Sect looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.
A long sword carrying purple light flew through the air and thrust obliquely into the Guanmiao Terrace.
The mountain wind blew, and the horsetail whisk at the end of the sword hilt swayed gently. Three thousand strands of dust were like three thousand worlds of red dust.
Upon seeing this sword, many Daoist people's eyes focused simultaneously!
