Chapter 809: Consolation

In an instant, Xiang Xiaoyu's respect for Zhang Sheng didn't fall to the bottom, but at least it was not far away, the kind that could be reached by reaching out to Wei Yuan.

What kind of mood would the holder of the Immortal Sword Great Sun be in when seeing the Pseudo-Sun? Xiang Xiaoyu believed that everyone understood. Since everyone understood, then specifically cultivating an Immortal Sword Pseudo-Sun, wasn't it specifically to disgust himself?

Zhang Sheng's sword-holding Pseudo-Sun unexpectedly had a bit of the true meaning of the Sun's True Fire in the sword. The sword-holding sword immortal only had low intelligence, not that he didn't have intelligence; he was completely ignorant, and controlling the Pseudo-Sun didn't require too high intelligence either.

In terms of spirituality, if human beings were used as an analogy, then the Shaoyang Star Lord was at least among the top three in the palace examination, even if he wasn't the champion.

And Zhang Sheng's sword-holding immortal was a failed scholar. Although he couldn't get a degree, he was still 100,000 miles away from the palace examination, but his knowledge was much greater than that of ordinary people.

That the Immortal Sword Pseudo-Sun could cultivate spirituality was itself an incredible thing.

If it were about the Pseudo-Sun, Zhang Sheng's sword was the best or even the peerless among the Pseudo-Suns, bringing the Pseudo-Sun to a height that didn't belong to it by her own strength.

But no matter how high, it couldn't compare to the real Great Sun. The sword-holder also couldn't bear the title of sword-holding immortal, and could only be called a swordsman at most.

Zhang Sheng summoning an Immortal Sword Pseudo-Sun wasn't for display. With a movement of her divine sense, the swordsman had already attacked with the sword, and a thin line of fire slashed straight at the Shaoyang Star Lord's head!

This sword was quite rude. The Shaoyang Star Lord's face showed anger, and he slashed the swordsman away with one sword, while the Pseudo-Sun in his hand had a huge gap, obviously already damaged.

But the Shaoyang Star Lord was also somewhat surprised. He had already used thirty percent of his strength for this sword; how could he not have cut the cottage-style goods opposite in half?

At this time, the Shaoyang Star Lord received Xiang Xiaoyu's intention: This person is a senior teacher, so he must be respected and cannot be hurt.

The Shaoyang Star Lord then withdrew another ten percent of his strength.

Zhang Sheng frowned slightly and said: "Just attack; it doesn't matter even if you kill him."

Xiang Xiaoyu was somewhat angry. Although the sword-holding swordsman couldn't die, killing him on the spot would still cause great damage to his vitality and hurt Zhang Sheng's primordial spirit. If he really did this, wouldn't that reckless Wei Yuan come to fight him? No sentiment could fill this heavenly pit.

The Pseudo-Sun swordsman attacked again with the sword, but the Shaoyang Star Lord turned his body and let go of a line of fire slashed from behind. A swordsman unexpectedly appeared behind him, slashing out a line of fire.

Two swordsmen attacked from front and back, cooperating seamlessly, and their combat power far exceeded the simple addition of the two, forcing the Shaoyang Star Lord to use thirty percent of his strength before he completely occupied the upper hand.

Zhang Sheng stood still, and another sixteen swordsmen appeared on the field, joining the siege. In the blink of an eye, it went from four to eight, from eight to sixteen.

A full sixteen cottage-style Pseudo-Suns surrounded the Shaoyang Star Lord, slashing and hacking wildly, fighting brilliantly. The Shaoyang Star Lord had already used seventy percent of his strength and unexpectedly couldn't gain an advantage, so he had to add another ten percent.

Although it was only a ten percent difference, the effect was completely different. This extra ten percent of strength was enough to cut the immortal swords in the hands of the two swordsmen who were blocking together at the same time!

The Shaoyang Star Lord suddenly increased his strength when the swords clashed, and as a result, Zhang Sheng was caught off guard, and the two Pseudo-Suns were cut off at the same time, and the swordsmen were in a mess.

Xiang Xiaoyu immediately shouted: "Do not be rude to Teacher Zhang!"

The Shaoyang Star Lord nodded slightly and looked proudly at the retreating dozen or so swordsmen.

Zhang Sheng frowned slightly, feeling that Xiang Xiaoyu's words were meant for her, and she also had an extra point of killing intent toward the Shaoyang Star Lord who suddenly increased his strength.

She didn't say much, directly took back the two damaged swordsmen, and another sixteen swordsmen appeared on the field, a full thirty Pseudo-Suns surrounding not only the genuine one, but also the limited edition Immortal Sword Great Sun fighting.

For a time, flowing fire splashed on the field, and the Sun's True Flame was spilled everywhere, burning the fighting platform into pits and bumps.

However, if there were thirty-two swordsmen, the formation would be quite perfect, and the cooperation between each other would be no problem. But now that two swordsmen were missing, the power of the sword array was immediately greatly reduced. This was not just a little bit less, but the array had a defect, and the power dropped by a full forty percent.

At this time, Xiang Xiaoyu also saw that the Shaoyang Star Lord was probably intentional just now. Otherwise, the sword array composed of thirty-two swordsmen would also be quite difficult to deal with, and it would take some effort to clean them up.

Under the blessing of the sword array, the swordsmen were one, and eighty percent of his strength could no longer cut the immortal swords in their hands.

The Shaoyang Star Lord secretly saved another ten percent of his strength. Seeing the swords clashing, he was preparing to repeat the old trick when suddenly a white-clothed swordsman appeared before his eyes!

This swordsman was as white as snow, with a cold and arrogant face, holding a pure white immortal sword, not standing on the platform, but standing in the air, looking coldly at the Shaoyang Star Lord.

This white-clothed swordsman's appearance was truly good, but his strength... was also truly weak.

The sword in his hand, although the sword intent was pure to the extreme, couldn't cover up the fact that it was human-rank. It was unheard of for a trash human-rank immortal sword to cultivate a sword-holding swordsman.

Xiang Xiaoyu only felt that it subverted common sense, but then remembered, didn't this group of Pseudo-Suns in front of him also subvert common sense?

Xiang Xiaoyu had doubts in his heart; he really didn't understand why Zhang Sheng had nothing to do and cultivated so many human-rank swords.

The Shaoyang Star Lord had the same doubts, but just at this time, the immortal sword in the white-clothed swordsman's hand suddenly lit up with a point of white light, unexpectedly much brighter than the great sun in the sky!

It was not hot, nor was there any gentle wind, it was just bright, bright to the point that Xiang Xiaoyu was blind when he opened his eyes, and everything before his eyes was white light!

In an instant, Xiang Xiaoyu finally knew the sword intent of this sword: Immortal Sword - Pure White!

The Shaoyang Star Lord also couldn't see anything. The pure white sword intent not only affected the eyes but also affected the divine sense. Closing his eyes was useless; only turning his head worked.

The Shaoyang Star Lord turned his head and saw a white-clothed swordsman standing on the side!

The new white-clothed swordsman's sword intent burst forth, again sending the Shaoyang Star Lord and Xiang Xiaoyu into a pure white world.

Countless dirty words had already surged in Xiang Xiaoyu's heart. Such trash immortal swords, Zhang Sheng not only cultivated them, but there were two of them! If this wasn't being full and having nothing to do, what could it be!

He scolded, but Pure White was truly easy to use. Now the Shaoyang Star Lord had to protect his divine sense with his innate immortal power to see things clearly. Only then did Xiang Xiaoyu discover that Pure White was not two swords, but four, occupying the four directions, forming a sword array by themselves, with no blind spots at all.

Seeing the Shaoyang Star Lord's defense take effect, the pure white sword intent no longer released continuously, but began to flicker randomly. The instantaneous strong light became a few points brighter. Xiang Xiaoyu was caught off guard and entered the pure white world again. The Shaoyang Star Lord's anger surged, and he no longer held back, adding to ninety percent of his strength. But his sword intent was suddenly blocked by a piece of thick and heavy sword intent. The other party was clearly not very strong, but was exceptionally tenacious, unexpectedly unable to be cut away.

Another sixteen swordsmen appeared on the field, holding unknown earth-element immortal swords, forming a sword array, specifically for defense. Fire generates earth, and the Sun's True Flame met the earth-element sword array. Although the power didn't decrease, the earth-element sword array's defense improved a little bit more or less.

Thus, the three major sword arrays on the field, with attack, defense, and containment, had already forced the Shaoyang Star Lord to use his full strength.

Fortunately, the Shaoyang Star Lord's immortal power was endless. If he didn't use his full strength, he could fight until the end of time; this was a divine ability that the Sun and Yangming didn't possess. And Zhang Sheng's swordsmen were after all not high in rank, and their aura inevitably declined gradually.

Zhang Sheng still stood with her hands behind her back, and another eight immortal swords appeared on the field. Xiang Xiaoyu also recognized this sword; it was the Great Brightness Subduing Demon Sword. Once the eight swords came out, they formed a sword array, but they didn't come forward, instead occupying the eight directions, working together to suppress the Shaoyang Star Lord, unexpectedly suppressing his immortal power by half a percent!

Only then did Xiang Xiaoyu understand that the Great Brightness Subduing Demon Sword was cultivated to the extreme, and the focus was on the word "Subduing Demon." But in the blink of an eye, he was furious; was this taking him as a demon to be subdued?

The Shaoyang Star Lord had the same mind, and was also furious, instantly using his full strength, killing the surrounding swordsmen in a mess, and the formation was about to scatter.

But at this time, another few dozen pale green immortal swords appeared on the field, which was Qing Qing Si Yu.

As soon as this sword came out, not only was Xiang Xiaoyu stunned, but the onlookers were also in an uproar. If everyone remembered correctly, this Qing Qing Si Yu sword was created by Wei Yuan first, and it was a cottage-style version of Zhang Sheng's Green Qing Qing Si Yu.

Zhang Sheng unexpectedly even cultivated Qing Qing Si Yu; was this cottage-styling herself?

While in doubt, patches of rain threads had already appeared on the field, and the aura of all the swordsmen unexpectedly rose step by step, and in the blink of an eye, they recovered as before!

Everyone was greatly shocked; was Qing Qing Si Yu used like this?

Subsequently, three genuine Green Silk Rains appeared, forming a Three Talents Sword Array in the air, and a thread of rain that was green to the extreme ignored the defense and fell on the Shaoyang Star Lord.

The Shaoyang Star Lord instantly felt his immortal power being continuously dissolved by the green rain threads. If this continued to the end, he was afraid he would hurt his foundation. The Shaoyang Star Lord didn't dare to be slow and had to divide a part of his immortal power to focus on resisting. At this time, he was suppressed by multiple layers and could only use ninety percent of his strength to defend against the enemy at most.

As soon as Green Qing Qing Si Yu came out, it immediately suppressed the Shaoyang Star Lord, and the battle situation stabilized. It was not easy for either side to win.

Xiang Xiaoyu was about to open his mouth to call a stop when he saw dozens more sword-holding swordsmen on the field, forming a sword array with seventy-two array positions.

The immortal swords in their hands were all kinds, and the sword array was purely to increase power. Subsequently, a full seventy-two trash flying swords bombarded the Shaoyang Star Lord wildly, like ants gnawing on an elephant, destroying his defense bit by bit.

Xiang Xiaoyu was dumbfounded and forgot to shout stop for a while.

At this time, the platform suddenly cleared, and Zhang Sheng had already taken back all the swordsmen, leaving only the Shaoyang Star Lord standing alone on the spot, his clothes tattered, his expression bitter.

And those divine senses hidden in the dark didn't idle for a moment, and they all sacrificed shadow-recording stones.

"It's okay, let's stop here." Zhang Sheng said indifferently.

Xiang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "Teacher Zhang, have you reached the Dharma Form yet?"

"Not yet."

Xiang Xiaoyu suddenly felt a bit lonely and said: "... I see."

Zhang Sheng consoled: "If you didn't have a contemptuous heart and attacked with full strength from the beginning, the situation would naturally be different. In the face of the enemy, underestimating the enemy is a big taboo; you must never do this again in the future."

A ray of light suddenly appeared in Xiang Xiaoyu's eyes: "If I go all out, can I win?"

Zhang Sheng was silent for a moment, then said: "... No."

"Why?"

Zhang Sheng had been waiting for this question, and immediately said: "I have several hundred immortal swords that haven't come out yet."

For a time, Xiang Xiaoyu's heart was blank, not knowing what to say, only feeling that the damp cold in the wind was very heavy, soaking into his bone marrow.

Seeing this, Zhang Sheng had to console: "Aren't our Grand Tai Tai Chu Gong disciples crossing ranks to meet the enemy a common thing?"

Xiang Xiaoyu bit his lip, almost biting it until it bled!

It was indeed a common thing for Grand Tai Tai Chu Gong disciples to cross ranks to meet the enemy, and it was not strange for top disciples to fight and win, but the problem was, now Xiang Xiaoyu was the enemy who was crossed.

At this point, Xiang Xiaoyu felt that he had thoroughly learned the ability of the Heavenly Azure Palace to console fellow apprentices. But he didn't expect that he was still naive.

Zhang Sheng looked at the Shaoyang Star Lord, pondered for a moment, and said to Xiang Xiaoyu: "I have walked this path before, but later I met an enemy and knew that this path was impassable, so I abandoned everything at the time of death and rebirth and started over. However, you don't need to do this; this path of specializing in one sword can continue."

"Who did you meet back then?" As soon as the words were spoken, Xiang Xiaoyu regretted it.

"The First Day Shaman."

The Shaoyang Star Lord disappeared silently.
