Chapter 39

Bian Shouyi would never have thought that, as a person with a congenital sword body, at this moment, in Su Chen's eyes, he had become an innate lumbering saint, a perfect lumbering tool.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Because his heart was now filled with a strong desire to fight, almost overflowing.

This feeling was strongest when he saw Su Chen chopping trees with a sword from afar.

Although he only took a glance, Bian Shouyi, a sword fanatic, could tell at a glance that Su Chen had amazing attainments in swordsmanship.

Whether it is the momentum of the sword or the sharp sword energy.

There is no doubt that this person is defined with an extremely high level of kendo skills—a grandmaster!

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Bian Shouyi couldn't control himself and attacked Su Chen.

But after coming to his senses, he was still somewhat ashamed of his sneak attack.

That's why he didn't rush to attack Su Chen but instead invited Su Chen to a "fencing" match.

After all, although he has always longed for a worthy opponent, fighting without declaring war... is not a gentleman's behavior.

Facing Bian Shouyi, whose desire to fence is evident in his words.

To ensure that he could become his tool in the future, Su Chen hesitated and said, "It's okay for me to spar with you, but you have to agree to one condition first."

"What conditions?"

Su Chen pointed at the tall Qingxuan tree beside him and said, "If you lose, then you can stay and help me chop down trees; how about that?"

"good."

Without any hesitation, Bian Shouyi agreed to Su Chen's conditions.

Forget about chopping down trees, as long as Su Chen agrees to have a fencing match with him.

Even if the request was more excessive than fencing, Bian Shouyi, with a sword in his mind, would agree to it immediately.

After all, for him, there is nothing in this world that can make him feel more happy than sparring with a swordsman!

After getting Bian Shouyi's reply, Su Chen put the magic sword in his hand back into the scabbard at his waist, then reached into the storage bag at his waist and began to search.

"Since we are just sparring, it's best not to hurt the relationship."

As Su Chen spoke, he took out a small knife for cutting meat from his storage bag and held it in his hand.

He looked at Bian Shouyi with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, this is the smallest sword I could find."

Hearing this, Bian Shouyi's originally excited expression gradually froze.

An indescribable anger welled up in his heart.

Who is he looking down on?

"Why not use that sword?"

Bian Shouyi suppressed his anger and questioned in a cold tone.

In response to this, Su Chen remained very calm.

He turned the knife in his hand and replied, as a matter of course, "Because it is enough to deal with you."

If Su Chen had done this just to humiliate him, Bian Shouyi would not have been angry.

But Su Chen's attitude was very casual, which showed that he believed from the bottom of his heart that just using such a small meat-cutting knife was enough to deal with himself.

Such an attitude is undoubtedly the greatest humiliation for Bian Shouyi.

Is the swordsmanship he is proud of so unbearable in his eyes?

Bian Shouyi has never been so eager for victory as he is today.

He... doesn't want to lose!

Thinking of this, Bian Shouyi took a deep breath and changed their posture from holding the sword with one hand to holding it with both hands.

The next second, an invisible pressure was released from his body, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground and creating a clearing out of thin air.

Bian Shouyi stood in the falling leaves and said in a cold tone, "You will pay the price for your arrogance."

After he finished speaking, Bian Shouyi no longer suppressed the fierce sword intent in his heart and rushed out.

The violent sword intent was released from his body as if it had substance.

In an instant, the scattered sword energy slowly turned into an illusory white tiger.

He opened his bloody mouth, ready to swallow Su Chen whole! When

A tiger comes down from the mountain; the strangers... retreat!

In response, Su Chen just calmly raised the knife in his hand...

Zhengyi swordsmanship—this is the family swordsmanship of Bian Shouyi.

A fierce sword technique that advocates moving forward courageously and with great force.

The heavier the weapon, the more powerful the Zhengyi sword technique will be.

However, due to his cultivation level, Bian Shouyi is currently unable to use the black iron heavy sword to perform the Zhengyi sword technique and can only use an ordinary black iron long sword instead.

The power of the swordsmanship will be greatly reduced.

But even so, his sword is not something that ordinary people can resist.

But Su Chen is not an ordinary person...

Boom!

Su Chen's knife collided with Bian Shouyi's black iron sword.

A terrifying cyclone began to spread with the two of them as the center.

The ground beneath his feet couldn't even withstand the incredible air pressure and cracked into countless cracks.

At the same time, Su Chen also felt the huge force coming from the knife in an instant and had to use the method of unloading force to disperse the pressure from Bian Shouyi.

When this scene came into being, Bian Shouyi held the hilt of the sword with both hands, suppressing Su Chen's continuous sliding.

Su Chen slid for more than ten meters before finally stopping.

Bian Shouyi did not give Su Chen any chance to breathe.

He raised the black iron sword in his hand again and began to chop at Su Chen at an astonishing speed.

Each blow was powerful and loud.

But even under this violent attack, Su Chen showed no signs of defeat. He kept responding with his knife in one hand, fending off Bian Shouyi's fierce attacks.

Bang, Bang, Bang!

Every time Su Chen blocked an attack from Bian Shouyi, the sound of an air explosion would be heard in the quiet woods.

The cyclone created by the collision swept around, rolling up a large amount of fallen leaves.

It's a little hard to believe that this is a battle in the Qi gathering period.

From the perspective of cultivation, Bian Shouyi, who is at the seventh level of Qi gathering, is much higher than Su Chen, who is at the fourth level of the Qi gathering stage.

But after several fights, Su Chen's expression did not change, but Bian Shouyi's face became worse and worse.

Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.

Bian Shouyi felt his hands gradually becoming numb and the spiritual power in his body becoming more and more violent and instinctively realized that something was wrong.

And this feeling of discomfort tended to spread, causing his internal organs to begin to ache.

"Found?"

Bian Shouyi's pupils shrank, and he looked at the smiling Su Chen in disbelief, as if he had noticed something.

While Su Chen easily resisted Bian Shouyi's attack, he said, "Your swordsmanship is very good. Every move you make is extremely oppressive and aggressive. It can be said to be a classic example of using force to defeat cleverness."

"But a sword is a sword, a law is a law, and a person is a person. You think I am insulting you by using a knife against you, but that is not my intention."

"Because for me, whether I use a knife or a magic sword, neither will affect my swordsmanship."

"On the contrary, your obsession with weapons makes your attacks full of loopholes."

"The Black Iron Sword is certainly much heavier than an ordinary magic sword, but using it will also put a burden on your body."

"I don't have to do anything extra; just speed up the process appropriately."

"Like... now."

The vibrating knife in Su Chen's hand collided with Bian Shouyi's black iron sword again.

The shock force from the knife spread silently along the black iron sword into Bian Shouyi's body.

His body and spiritual power were affected to varying degrees.

Although this impact may seem small individually, quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes.

Right now, Bian Shouyi is almost reaching his limit.

At this point, Bian Shouyi finally understood where his physical discomfort came from.

Before this, he relied on his profound cultivation and domineering swordsmanship.

Often the enemy can be defeated within two or three moves, and one will not be trapped in a war of attrition.

Therefore, the side effect of the Zhengyi sword technique, which consumes an astonishing amount of energy, has never been exposed.

But at this moment, this weakness was not only keenly grasped by Su Chen but also rapidly magnified.

Is the gap between him and Su Chen really that big?

Looking at Bian Shouyi, who looked a little confused, Su Chen knew that the game was almost coming to an end.

The reason why he wanted to use a knife against Bian Shouyi was certainly not as simple as he said.

His real purpose was to put an end to Bian Shouyi's idea of challenging him once and for all.

If one wants to make a sword fanatic give up on sparring with one, the best way is undoubtedly to suppress him with absolute strength.

Make yourself an insurmountable mountain in his eyes.

Only in this way can he eliminate Bian Shouyi's harassment from the root.

Su Chen is now only one step away from achieving his goal.

"I have seen your swordsmanship. Now...it's your turn to see mine."

After he finished speaking, Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

The next second, the knife in his hand was suddenly covered with a layer of silver-white sword energy.

And began to oscillate at an alarming frequency.

Sword technique, Water Dragon Roar!

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a clear roar like a dragon, Bian Shouyi forgot about defense at this time.

Watching helplessly as the silver-white dragon swept towards him...
