Abyss Island fell into silence.
Echoing in the ears of the onlookers, only the mocking words spat out by Xu Xiaoshou remained after his sword penetrated the thought incarnation of w.a.n.gze Holy Emperor.
His combination moves were so smooth; the utilization of Three Streams of Red Plum Blossoms ?Falling Flower World seemed as if he had rehea.r.s.ed it countless times in his mind.
As soon as w.a.n.gze Holy Emperor was defeated, he followed up with his move.
No escape, no evasion.
In the vast Abyss Island, under the scrutinizing gaze of Xu Xiaoshou, there was not a single inch of s.p.a.ce for w.a.n.gze Holy Emperor to find refuge. “He’s clearly so unbecoming…” someone murmured with a trembling voice.
Indeed, Xu Xiaoshou was incredibly unconventional!
When he shrank, he was more timid than a turtle, fearing even the slightest bit of attention from others.
But when he expanded, he became exceptionally ostentatious and audacious, to the extent that “playing to the crowd” was an inadequate description.
Move by move, stroke by stroke.
Killing with precision, every word cutting like a blade.
Xu Xiaoshou had utilized his silver tongue to the extreme, saying things that made bystanders feel shame and embarra.s.sment, but he could express them naturally.
Yet it was this unconventional person who forcefully defeated w.a.n.gze Holy Emperor!
It was already hard to believe that the previous Dragon Melting Realm explosion had turned w.a.n.gze Holy Emperor into a bloodied mess because it was too far away.
However, when the spirit mirror showed the transformation of w.a.n.gze Holy Emperor from a blurry figure to a tangible form and ultimately displayed his contorted, ghostly face following a powerful blow, everyone was left dumbfounded.
One punch, another punch, and another…
From the First Hall of Sins to the Fallen Abyss, to the Blood World, Xu Xiaoshou successively defeated Yan Wuse, Dao Qiongcang, and w.a.n.gze Holy Emperor.
Was it possible to witness such a rebellious and defiant scene, where the younger generation challenged the Ten High n.o.bles, who were still dominant in the current era?
Reality shattered the illusion…
Everything became real after waking up from a dream…
This surreal experience was what those who were currently speechless were thinking—unable to accept, yet forced to accept.
In the outer reaches of the Forest of Miracles, on a secluded winding path.
Mei Siren had regained some vitality and vigor under the influence of Bazhun’an’s long-practiced elixir.
Outsiders were just enjoying the show, but insiders focused on the intricacies.
Xu Xiaoshou’s punches and the destruction of the bounded domain were nothing in Mei Siren’s eyes.
Fundamentally, those powers were not Xu Xiaoshou’s own; he was merely a vessel, a medium for the combined forces of the Four Holy Emperors to be unleashed.
Winning with four against one was normal; it would be strange if he lost.
What truly shocked Mei Siren was the Heart Sword Technique that Xu Xiaoshou displayed to control and silence w.a.n.gze Holy Emperor’s fleeing thoughts after a punch.
“Demons Under Eyes…”
“Is this his ‘Demons Under Eyes’?”
Bazhun’an, the blind man, could not see, but he could sense the distant power. Mei Siren, however, could see it clearly and was completely astonished.
Everyone knew that the imagery of the Heart Sword Technique could not be changed!
Mei Siren had seen Xu Xiaoshou’s strong imagery, which was the imagery of Sword G.o.d Gu Louying.
Regardless of the strength of his current realm, the hierarchy of the imagery alone allowed him to almost outcla.s.s ninety-nine percent of ancient swordsmen of the present era.
But in this ‘Demons Under Eyes,’ imagery changed with a single strike!
Mei Siren quickly looked to the side at Bazhun’an and, in a few words, described the entire battle process before asking, “From Black Heaven, Silver Moon, Solitary Tower, Back View…”
“It transformed into stepping on the Demonic Emperor Black Dragon, seven blood trees on the back, surrounded by a white sea of flames, a cyan purgatory above the head, and a Berserk Giant with two charred arms…”
“This is clearly the Heavenly Unravel of the Heart Sword Technique! Did you teach him?”
After Mei Siren finished speaking, he still could not believe it.
He knew that Bazhun’an simply did not have the time to teach Xu Xiaoshou the sword. Otherwise, Mei Siren would not have had this opportunity.
Leaving aside whether Bazhun’an had the time…
Even if he wanted to teach, wouldn’t the ancient swordsman in this world have to possess the talent to learn it?
Fringe Moon Immortal City’s Xiao Kongtong, the sole disciple of Bazhun’an and one of the Seven Sword Deities, unquestionably possessed exceptional talent in the Way of the Sword.
Even he could not do this technique!
Did Xu Xiaoshou master it?
When, where, and by what means did he learn it?
Mei Siren had too many questions in his mind. If he could get the answers and spread this technique worldwide, it would be a blessing for swordsmen.
At that time, a new era for ancient swordsmen could truly begin!
The Heart Sword Technique would undoubtedly lead the trend of the Ancient Sword Technique, becoming the foremost among the Nine Major Sword Techniques!
Thinking of this, how could Mei Siren, who loved being a teacher, conceal his excitement?
“Present G.o.ds and Buddhas, Heavenly Unravel?”
On the side, Bazhun’an frowned slightly, holding a slightly reserved opinion about Master Siren’s statement, saying, “Did you say that from the imagery of the Sword G.o.d Gu Louying, it turned into the imagery of the Four Small Holy Emperors?”
“This kind of demotion, how can it be considered Heavenly Unravel? Shouldn’t it be more appropriate to say that the Heart Sword Technique has
‘self-concealed’?”
“Did Xu Xiaoshou weaken it for you?”
Bazhun’an’s face showed a hint of suspicion.
He had a certain confidence in Xu Xiaoshou’s talent: indeed, he could bear the weight of the word “pa.s.sable.”
Therefore, he simply did not believe that Xu Xiaoshou could control w.a.n.gze Holy Emperor after reversing the Heart Sword Technique with Heavenly Unravel. “Not at all!”
Mei Siren urgently responded, almost hitting Bazhun’an’s forehead with his folding fan. He gritted his teeth and said, “You should be able to see that Xu Xiaoshou has mastered Gu Louying’s imagery.”
“But before, he only restored it by relying on the description of the legend of the Sword G.o.d, still in the imitation stage.”
“But he surpa.s.sed the imagery of the Four Small… ah, Four Great Holy Emperors with extraordinary aura and demeanor, resembling a grandmaster of the Heart Sword Technique..”
