Chapter 755: For the Lord to Unsheathe the Sword (Part 3) (For Alliance Leader [Hongchen has luck

"True Disciple He, this sword question is trapped in the predicament of 'I cannot defeat myself.' I have heard that the 'Sword of Escaping One' can escape the prison without gaps. Now that we are facing the 'Complete I,' sparring with it is like living in a prison without doors or windows, airtight, with no way to break the sword." Lu Wei said, "Since True Disciple He knows the Sword of Escaping One, I think it might be the key to this question. Even if it's not right, I think it can also be inferred by analogy."

Lu Wei's smiling words carried some joy, as if he had discovered a quite correct train of thought, so the discussions in the garden also lowered, and everyone looked at the woman with some expectation.

"...... Oh." He Yaoyao responded.

Then she stood up from the table.

She walked forward two steps, then turned back and took her sword from the table.

Seeing Pei Ye watched her solidified expression from afar.

"Oh." She repeated, raised her hand to salute Lu Wei and the four directions, "Thank you for looking up to me. He Yaoyao of Xudao Mountain, greetings to True Disciple Lu and all the heroes."

"Our sect does have the saying of 'Sword of Escaping One,' but this sword is not uniquely passed

Speaking up to this point, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Seeing Pei Ye from afar. Seeing Pei Ye's brows slowly gathered, and a bad premonition arose.

Lu Wei asked curiously: "Why does True Disciple He say the Sword of Escaping One cannot solve it?"

"'Escaping One' is relative to the enclosure of the external world; I think perhaps it cannot be used to transcend the self," He Yaoyao said. "Of course, perhaps it is worth a try... but the key is that I am not very good at using this sword either, so it is hard to say for sure."

"Hmm." Lu Wei was slightly stunned; he had only heard of this concept but had indeed never seen this sword. "Then, does True Disciple He want to go down into the pond to try?"

He Yaoyao smiled slightly and said in a clear voice: "Since I cannot, going down into the pond would inevitably disturb the water. I do know of another person present whose Sword of Escaping One is used much better than mine. Last time we discussed sword theory, his insights were also very profound... In short, in short, he is far above me, so I will invite him up to give it a try."

"..."

"..."

Lu Wei was slightly bewildered, and the entire garden fell silent for a moment.

He Yaoyao turned her head, like a crane looking back, and looked far toward the team of the Sword Academy at the other end.

Seeing Pei Ye took a deep breath and turned his head away.

The people in the garden looked at He Yaoyao quietly, curiously, and blankly. The woman revealed an apologetic smile, and then, carrying the gaze of the entire venue, she walked step by step with her head lowered to the front of the Sword Academy's team.

The sword students were sitting quite tightly. She whispered "Please excuse me" and stepped in step by step, arriving before Seeing Pei Ye.

Seeing Pei Ye raised his head and looked at her in shock.

"Young Hero Seeing Pei Ye, please, please do me a favor..." she leaned down and whispered, her hand first tightly gripping the young man's sleeve.

"Is this what you call a 'request'!" Seeing Pei Ye glared, his mouth opening without a sound.

"I... I have no other choice..." He Yaoyao was so anxious she was about to cry, pleading, "Please, for the sake of the friendship of us staying at the same inn for a night..."

"Don't talk nonsense!!" Seeing Pei Ye's eyes widened like bells. The sword students nearby, who had been looking over one after another, all turned their heads back with solemn respect at this moment. Many even quite professionally sealed their ears.

"I beg you..."

"Alright, alright, fine, fine, stop talking nonsense." Seeing Pei Ye had only ever been made hot and bothered by women, but this was the first time he had been made to scratch his head in frustration. He said, "It's all a small matter, I'll go with you."

"Thank you! Young Hero Seeing Pei Ye!"

"Wait a moment, let me get my sword." Seeing Pei Ye picked up the Jade Tiger, tucked it behind his back, and adjusted the angle, but He Yaoyao could not wait any longer; she pulled him up from the desk.

The people in the garden watched this woman finish speaking and turn to walk toward the west. Her posture was tall and slender, and even though she was slightly lowering her head for some reason, she was still like an elegant crane.

The young ladies on the terrace looked at her, the Shaolong Jade Sword Society looked at her, Kongdong, Yunshan—the entire garden was looking at her quietly and curiously.

They saw her walk across half the small garden step by step, finally stopping beside the Sword Academy's seating, then walking in and leaning down to talk to someone about something.

The two seemed to be laughing and talking, the woman even held his sleeve, and then this young man who was still tidying his cuffs stood up with a smile while being led.

To most people, this figure was very young and unfamiliar. He was tall and sturdy, wearing a sword robe with a black cat lying on his shoulder. He Yaoyao led him by the sleeve back to the side of the pond.

"This is my friend. He truly knows how to use the Sword of Escaping One and is a very formidable swordsman. I invite him to give it a try for everyone." He Yaoyao bowed elegantly and then stood to the side with her hands folded, as if it had nothing to do with her.

The garden was silent for a moment. This young man did not have any extraordinary aura, but he truly did not show any stage fright.

This sword question had already existed on the field for a while, and this was the first swordsman to walk into the six. Unlike people like Shang Yunning or Chen Quan, who looked like they knew how to use a sword at a glance, he raised his hand in a salute after taking the field and greeted the several True Disciples.

"I actually haven't prepared much." He smiled. "I originally intended to ponder it clearly before speaking—I didn't expect to be suddenly brought up by True Disciple He."

Lu Wei returned the salute and looked him over with a smile: "So it is Young Hero Pei. True Disciple He said you know how to use the Sword of Escaping One. Do you have any insights?"

"That was the name she brought up; I actually doubt it. She has never seen me draw my sword either." The young man smiled, took the little cat down from his shoulder, and looked at the pond water. "However, I do have some thoughts. True Disciple Lu, you just went into the pond; no matter what, you couldn't break your own sword?"

Lu Wei asked curiously: "If I could break my own sword, then I should know how to draw my sword better, and then this better 'me' would be the true 'me' of the present."

The young man nodded: "I think so too. Then tell me, what if you make a breakthrough after going into the pond?"

"Make a breakthrough after going into the pond..." Lu Wei was stunned.

"That's right. Because I just watched everyone below treating it as a question to be solved, as if wanting to find some gap to slip through. But isn't this mirror originally Ning's sword path bottleneck?" the young man said. "Since it is a bottleneck, a pass, then of course the only way is to 'break through.' I feel there are no clever shortcuts for this either; one must walk down into the pond and transcend the total self in its presence."

"..." Lu Wei was speechless.

Many swordsmen are making progress at every moment.

But progress is progress, and a breakthrough is a breakthrough; making a little progress is making a little progress, and rising to a higher level is rising to a higher level.

Even if one makes a breakthrough in the heat of battle, perhaps one can enlighten a certain partial self, but how can one completely transcend the total self?

Qun Fei tapped her sword scabbard lightly: "Young Hero Pei, although that is what you say, it sounds a bit like a fantasy."

The young man smiled at her: "Tianshan is a land of immortals; it is only right to believe in some fantasies."

Qun Fei's pair of handsome eyes narrowed, seemingly looking at him with a smile.

The young man lowered his head to check the little cat's wishes in his arms, handed it to He Yaoyao beside him, and smiled at the crowd: "In any case, thank you for your favor, so I will go down and try too. If things don't work out, I hope you won't mock me too much."

He Yaoyao took the little cat and watched him with a face full of admiration from the side.

The young man composed his expression and walked down into the pond with his head lowered.

It seemed that with every step he took, he became calmer. By the time he walked step by step to the edge of the pond, he seemed as quiet as wood and stone, and birds and butterflies would land on him.

Then his boot soles stepped onto the water surface, he raised his head, and stood quietly on the water.

His reflection rose on the opposite side.

At this moment, people saw for the first time that fierce, sharp, and wantonly flying sword intent.

It struggled and burst out from the shell made of clothing and body, like the long ribbons of an immortal, instantly capturing the entire Mind-Sword Realm.

If Lu Wei was a deep mountain and Shang Yunning was a snowy field, then the young man was truly like a Sword Immortal descending to earth.

But it did not come from the young man standing quietly on the pond, but from the figure opposite him that was slowly rising.

It actually raised its hand first, pulled off the ribbon binding its hair, and then its long hair, cuffs, and hem danced fiercely, like a mass of gray, burning fire.

The young man himself was very quiet the whole time. He looked at it earnestly, and a long sword behind his waist floated without wind, truly looking like a young man from heaven controlling a sword.

People in the garden were stunned one after another. At this moment, the discussion gradually surfaced again.

"Who is this person?" some asked each other in vague, low voices.

"... Seeing Pei Ye." Others answered blankly.
