“Mo Qingtian is originally a b*stard.” Shangguan Qingyou snorted softly. However, whenever it was about Mo Qingtian, she couldn’t help but add a few sentences. Of course, they would never be very nice.
“Alright, both of you don’t wrongly accuse Mo Qingtian. I have seen Mo Wen’s profile before, and he was indeed a Two stars Executor. However, the level of Executor and Cultivation are never certain, so he could have passed the assessment for Four stars Executor after that on his own accord,” Pei Fengwu said, smiling.
Shangguan Qingyou bit her lips and said, “Well, Mo Qingtian is not a good guy.”
Wang Xiaoyuan stuck her tongue out but didn’t bad-mouth Mo Qingtian any further. After all, Mo Qingtian was not especially bad. At least he didn’t make life difficult for her.
Not only did the Fengwu team know about the matter between Shangguan Qingyou and Mo Qingtian, but almost all the people in the entire Vermilion Bird Palace Hall knew about it as well. Since the matter was about a personal relationship, Pei Fengwu had absolutely no solution.
“For the fight between Invisible Sabre Demon and Mo Wen, it is uncertain what the result will be.” Liu Shanshan kept paying attention to the fight in the competition ring. Once the two of them exchanged blows, her expression became serious.
Pei Fengwu and company heard her and directed their focus to the competition ring. From a different perspective, the fight was no longer just between Mo Wen and Invisible Sabre Demon. It had become a fight between the Fengwu team and the Yeyuan team.
After all, everyone at the scene knew that Invisible Sabre Demon had been after Mo Wen, as he was a member of the Fengwu team.
If Mo Wen were to lose this fight, it meant that the Fengwu team had lost once again not only to the Yeyuan team, but also to the same person on that team.
If Mo Wen were to win, it would be the first time and a breakthrough for the Fengwu team. The Four stars Executors battleground would no longer be suppressed by the Yeyuan team.
In the competition ring, Invisible Sabre Demon was like a streak of Sabre light striking across the air. In a blink of an eye, she appeared not far from Mo Wen and went at him head-on.
When Invisible Sabre Demon was still 30 meters away, Mo Wen furrowed his brows. A sudden sense of danger surged in his heart as if a dangerous thing were approaching.
With his rich fighting experience, Mo Wen disappeared from his original position without any hesitation, instantly retreating more than ten meters away.
Almost the same moment that he had left, there was a sudden appearance of dozens of invisible Qi of Sabres at the position where he had just been. It was like a meat mincer that churned a region until it was beyond recognition. The air was completely purged and the place became a vacuum.
“Invisible Sabre.” Mo Wen squinted slightly. The dozens of Sabres just now indeed seemed to be invisible. If he hadn’t felt it in his heart, he wouldn’t have discovered the Qi of Sabres in time.
At a distance of more than 30 meters, her Qi of Sabre was already so strong. She was indeed a very strong opponent.
“Eh, very sensitive senses.” Invisible Sabre Demon expressed her surprise softly and looked at Mo Wen. Someone who was able to sense her at a distance of 30 meters was very rare. Normally, it was when the Qi of Sabre was near or at least within ten meters that the enemy suddenly realized that danger was upon them.
“Your Sabre technique is quite good.” A sense of admiration flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. This Sabre user in front of him was a veteran of playing with the Sabre.
“It is only the beginning. I am not Chen Zi. You will have a great impression later.” Invisible Sabre Demon laughed coldly. Just now, she was only attacking casually, so Mo Wen’s escape from her attack was not a surprising thing.
Her figure suddenly disappeared from her original position like she had disappeared into the thin air. Not even a shadow was seen. It was as if she had never been there.
However, the next moment, she appeared weirdly above Mo Wen, lifting a long Sabre in her hand and striking aggressively.
The whole process was terribly inscrutable.
In an instant, a terrifying Qi of Sabre struck and sealed the surrounding space with its incisive grandeur. It caused the surrounding space to become viscous, as if one was deep in a swamp.
The terrifying light of the Sabre rumbled loudly with a shocking vigor, like it could split a mountain in two.
Mo Wen stood in the center of the storm. His clothes were fluttering, but he remained motionless. The streak of Sabre light above his head with its incisive cutting edge rolled down and almost flooded him completely.
His eyes turned grave. He could feel the shocking power in that streak of Sabre light as if it were going to tear him in half.
Invisible Sabre Demon was indeed not Chen Zi, as her Cultivation was way above Chen Zi’s and was almost equivalent to that of an expert in the Embryonic Breathing realm.
In terms of the degree of profoundness, this Invisible Sabre Demon’s Cultivation was almost above that of the great grandfather of the Qin Clan. She had faintly broken through the limit of the Qi Nucleation realm and was half squeezing through into the Embryonic Breathing realm.
However, she had not broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm yet, and was at most, equivalent to half an expert in the Embryonic Breathing realm.
Chen Zi’s loss of her fighting standard could only be said to be a way of deception, however, the level of Cultivation was the way of the King. The way of the King was the standard to measure the strength of everything.
Because of her Cultivation, Invisible Sabre Demon could be considered the first person in the Qi Nucleation realm Mo Wen had encountered. However, he suspected she might somehow be an ancient martial arts practitioner with abilities beyond the Qi Nucleation realm.
Facing such a strong enemy, Mo Wen wouldn’t dare to have any negligence.
The moment that the streak of Sabre light struck, a wave of invisible ripples was released with Mo Wen at the center. It instantly covered his entire body and enveloped a circumference of 30 feet.
The defense ability of the Heaven and Earth Great Shift was immediately switched on completely.
That Sabre light struck the ripples and suddenly paused slightly like it had been hindered by something.
However, the time of the hinderance was brief. It was only a pause before it continued to forcefully strike through the layer of ripples. The defense of the Heaven and Earth Great Shift basically couldn’t resist the streak of Sabre light.
However, as the Sabre light struck down, its radiance gradually dimmed, and its size also gradually reduced. Its power had reduced almost by half.
Mo Wen’s entire body was suddenly lit with golden light. The golden light’s radiance was glaring like the hot rays of the sun.
His hands immediately changed to pure gold, and streaks of golden light flashed in his eyes like two burning golden flames.
When the Sabre light had completely descended above his head, he raised his hands and clasped them together vigorously. That pale white Sabre light became wedged between his hands.
Creak Pnng!
A crisp sound resonated. That terrifying Sabre light began to crack inch by inch, and then gradually dispersed into the air.
When everything had calmed down, Mo Wen was standing at his original position since the beginning, and his legs hadn’t moved at all.
“Such strong defense.” Invisible Sabre Demon slowly descended from the air and looked at Mo Wen, who was standing upright and tall. A sense of sombreness flashed in her eyes.
As she knew that Mo Wen had defeated Wang Yinru before, and his strength was not simple, she hadn’t had any reservations in her attack from the beginning. Even so, the first wave of attack was unfruitful.
No wonder he could defeat Wang Yinru. This youngster’s defense was simply to the extent of being outrageously shocking. She naturally understood how strong the attacking power of her Qi of Sabre was. Even those ancient martial art practitioners in the Embryonic Breathing realm would find it very difficult to resist her Qi of Sabre by purely using a defense.
However, it wouldn’t be easy for her to defeat this youngster using such a defense.
Mo Wen gradually lowered his hands and while looking at Invisible Sabre Demon, who was standing dozens of meters away, said, “Your Sabre Technique is too cruel. It doesn’t give any leeway and doesn’t give you any way out.”
The strike just now had terrifying attacking power that the ancient martial art practitioners in the Qi Nucleation realm would have difficulty resisting. However, if that strike encountered a stronger opponent, such an attack using all her might would mean that she didn’t leave any way out for herself. Once her attack failed, she would face the danger of a frantic counterattack from her enemy.
Invisible Sabre Demon said indifferently, “Sabre practitioners are extremely strong and extremely overbearing. Giving oneself a way out only leads to death. The only way to achieve victory is to move forward.”
She was not moved by Mo Wen’s words. She had practiced the Way of Sabre for many years and had long developed her own insights. Sabre users should have no fear of life and death, and have the courage to strive forward. When fighting with an enemy, it is either kill or be killed. Very few will have a third choice.
If one has to be fearful for the slightest thing and has too many apprehensions, it won’t be beneficial, and perhaps those apprehensions will eventually lead to failure at the hands of an enemy.
To her, offense was the best defense. When her enemy died, then she would live.
“Attack then.” Mo Wen didn’t comment further. Perhaps Invisible Sabre Demon’s words might make some sense. Both persons’ concepts were different and might create various interpretations. However, she deemed it so now, but she might not deem it so in the future. In a growing process, it is after all a process of continually recognizing the nature of things.
“I will defeat you in a stroke of Sabre.” Invisible Sabre Demon looked deeply into Mo Wen’s eyes, and then gradually closed her eyes. When she suddenly opened her eyes, an irresistible fiery radiance flickered in them. That was the Light of the Soul, derived from her willpower, which was determined to overcome all obstacles.
“Meaning of Sabre!”
Shock flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. He never expected that this Invisible Sabre Demon could actually comprehend the Meaning of Sabre! A Sabre user who can comprehend the Meaning of Sabre is on the way of the Sabre. She has gone to the next level.
Mo Wen curled the corners of his lips and said mischievously, “I actually would like to know how you could defeat me with a stroke of Sabre.”
This woman is not only cruel, but also flippant and arrogant with great ego. This kind of person is too confident about themselves, so they normally have an outburst of very strong fighting power. Therefore, in normal fights, her mentality will easily create an advantage.
The power originated from self-confidence is not without reason. The greater the blind confidence in oneself, the more it is possible to have an outburst that is greater than one’s power.
Of course, there are many kinds of people with blind confidence in themselves depending on who they are. For an ancient martial art practitioner in the Regulated Breathing realm, regardless of how confident he is in himself, it is impossible for him to defeat an ancient martial art practitioner in the Qi Nucleation realm. That is similar to a mayfly’s attempt at shaking a tree.
However, a self-confident ancient martial art practitioner in the Regulated Breathing realm could defeat another ancient martial art practitioner in the Regulated Breathing realm easily. Relatively speaking, self-confidence can build on the foundation of one’s strength and result in an outburst with greater power.
Invisible Sabre Demon had the long Sabre raised in her hand, and her eyes were like two incisive Qi of Sabres that were completely fixed on Mo Wen. After a second of silence, her figure suddenly disappeared. As usual, she disappeared into thin air without a trace, and it seemed like her figure had not even been in the competition ring.
