Chapter 170: Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique!
He flicked his fingers lightly.
With a 'pop' sound, the vital energy stopper that was plugged into the mouth of the rosewood gourd bottle suddenly disappeared.
A thin stream of water flowed gently from the mouth of the gourd.
Before long, the seemingly insignificant stream of water transformed into an invisible barrier, standing in front of Li Jie to resist Zhou Ping's sword energy.
He took a deep breath, flicked his right hand, and a stream of light burst forth from the sword-nurturing gourd.
Li Jie extended two fingers and lightly tapped forward, and the water barrier transformed into a sky-covering light curtain that enveloped Zhou Ping's figure as he thrust straight towards him.
Although the water barrier only held for a moment, it was more than enough for Li Jie at the moment.
Before the all-encompassing curtain of light shattered, he had already grasped the stream of light that flew out of the gourd.
As the light faded, strange fluctuations seemed to flow across the ancient Zhuxian Sword.
He stared intently at Zhou Ping, who was attacking with a sword, and pulled his elbow back.
As the distance closed, Li Jie suddenly swung his sword forward!
Suddenly, the air seemed to freeze, and a bright, fine sword beam shot out as if it were about to tear the sky apart.
"Cut the sky and draw the sword!"
Zheng! !
The moment the silver and white sword energies clashed, cracks appeared in the space surrounding the entire mountain range, showing signs of shattering.
Seeing this, Zhou Ping and Li Jie's eyes both held a strange look.
They all withdrew and retreated without prior arrangement.
"Disperse!"
Zhou Ping shouted loudly, dispelling the sword aura of the [Dugu Nine Swords: Breaking Sword Style].
On the other hand, Li Jie was showing signs of losing control.
Without a doubt, Li Jie's sword strike was very powerful.
but.....
Because of insufficient foundation, his control over this extremely powerful sword strike was still somewhat lacking.
"Xian'er, sheathe your sword!"
Upon hearing Li Jie's call, Xian'er floated out from her Qi Sea, pointed with two fingers, and guided the out-of-control, earth-shattering sword energy, nourished by the primordial energy of heaven and earth, back into the sword-nurturing gourd.
As the storm subsided, Li Jie stared blankly at the devastated mountains.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the two stopped their sword-testing spree.
Otherwise, it seems he almost colluded with Sword Saint Zhou Ping to level this mountain...
Hey?
Why did I say "colluded"...?
He stood on the Immortal-Slaying Sword and looked down, only to find that there wasn't a single flat spot in the mountains where he could put his foot down.
Just then, Zhou Ping leaped up, having already retrieved the [Dragon Elephant] sword back into its sheath at some point.
When he came closer, he spoke first.
"Hello, Brother Li... My name is Zhou Ping... the 'Ping' in 'plain and unremarkable'..."
His shy and awkward gaze made Li Jie feel extremely disconnected.
This is a completely different person from the Sword Saint who was exuding terrifying power just now...
Although he was furious, Li Jie was speechless with grievances upon seeing this scene.
"Sword Saint Senior... Hello... My name is Li Jie, please don't call me Brother Li anymore..."
His lips twitched as he slowly answered.
"But that's what Lin Qiye and the others call him?"
Zhou Ping spoke with an innocent expression, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Li Jie slapped his forehead, his resentment towards the six little ones deepening even further.
At the same time, the six little ones who were sitting around the entrance of the No. 0213 heavy equipment warehouse reading a novel all sneezed at the same time.
"Ugh! Which bastard is cursing me?!"
Baili Pangpang rubbed his nose and muttered in dissatisfaction.
Although they managed to keep their sword saint teacher alive through that move the day before yesterday.
However, their training methods did not change as a result; they still sat there learning the moves of the characters in the novel.
"It's probably because the weather's getting cooler... I think I'll need to wear more layers these days..."
"Fatty, do you still have the thick clothes you bought in Anta County last time?"
Upon hearing Lin Qiye's question, Fatty reached out his chubby little hands and rummaged around in his pockets for a while before nodding.
"It's still here, but... isn't wearing a cotton-padded coat a bit excessive in Huaihai City...?"
Just as the six little ones were getting distracted...
A white-haired boy wearing a dark red cloak and another young man in a black shirt slowly made their way to the warehouse door.
"Why did the Sword Saint rush out so excitedly so early in the morning...?"
"Could it be that a mysterious 'Klein' realm cultivator has appeared nearby? Has it offended the senior's secluded cultivation?"
"I guess so. It might be very close to us. Didn't we just hear tremors coming from where we came from?"
"I thought there had been an earthquake..."
At this point, Jialan closed the book "The Return of the Condor Heroes" in his hand and spoke with difficulty.
"Brother... Senior... are you alright?"
Seeing the questioning looks on Fatty and the others' faces, Jialan blushed deeply. After hesitating for a moment, she tugged at Lin Qiye's sleeve.
"Are you asking if it's okay for us to just sell Brother Li out like this?"
Upon hearing this, Jialan nodded firmly.
"It's alright." Lin Qiye smiled and shook his head.
"Even if Brother Li comes, the Sword Saint senior probably won't use too much force."
"After all, he doesn't know Brother Li. The only way the senior can contact him is through Commander Ye. If that's the case..."
"Even if Commander Ye agrees to let Brother Li come, he will definitely instruct Senior Sword Saint not to kill him..."
"so....."
"This was just a simple exchange of skills!"
Upon hearing this, the author, Xiao Maza, and the five little ones sitting around the warehouse entrance all nodded in understanding.
That sounds like it makes a lot of sense...
but.......
I have a bad feeling about this.
Baili Pangpang looked at the distant clouds that appeared to be torn apart, and fell into deep thought...
Was the tremor just now really caused by some mysterious appearance?
"Relax, focus on your study... Otherwise, when the senior comes back and we can't answer any of his questions, that would be terrible..."
Upon hearing this, Li Jie, who was hiding at the entrance of the huge warehouse, clenched his fists.
It really was them!!
OK OK......
Since that's the case... then let me teach you a lesson...
hey-hey......
As he thought about it, he grinned menacingly, and Zhou Ping, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"No... I just wanted to settle a personal grudge... Please wait a moment, senior... I'll be right back!"
.........
