Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 792: Seen Through

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At one end of the bridge, the Sword Qi was dark and cold.

Two human figures moved quickly as they brushed past each other like they were flying. Their swords clashed and the sound created erupted like thunder, as though they were ancient thunder gods fighting.

Ding! Ding!

The fine sword cries were unceasing. Shattered Sword Qi flowed all around, causing the bridge created from layered large stones to become thickly dotted with holes similar to a beehive.

The martial artists watching had long retreated a distance, feeling that the trip had been worthwhile.

“As expected, Gu Qixing is the most talented contemporary demon swordsman in the Demon Sect. He could actually fight against the Petal Rinsing Diving Sword, Senior Jiang, until now...”

“His sword is like a flood dragon, shocking as thunder when striking... Only today did I understand the highest state of swordsmanship! The crazy talk in the past was just ridiculous... Sigh, when I return, I have to seclude myself and cultivate another 20 years. If I don’t become a master, I won’t come out!”

“As long as Gu Qixing doesn’t die, he’ll definitely become a first-grade grandmaster in the future, maybe even a Heavenly Phenomenon... However, he’s still inferior to Senior Jiang now!”

...

Clash!

Suddenly, the two swords intersected and the figures separated.

“...”

Gu Qixing was speechless as he raised the Seven Stars Sword in his hand.

On the famous sword, many cracks had appeared, increasing more and more before the sword finally exploded into countless fragments.

Even if his Seven Stars Sword was not a Divine Armament nor Demonic Armament, it was still a top-notch famous weapon. However, it still could not bear the heavy burden in the end.

Gu Qixing looked at the sword opposite him in Jiang Li’s hand.

The long sword in the hand of this philistine old man was simple and unadorned. It was one meter long, and the handle had thick coarse silk wrapped around it. The sword sheath was made from common ebony, but the blade was bright and pristine, having no damage at all.

It could be seen who had won and who had lost with just a glance!

The scene went silent before erupting with cheers.

Gu Qixing threw away the sword handle as he said in a cold tone, “What... sword did you use?”

“This sword doesn’t have a name. I requested the blacksmith by my house, Old Li, to help make it when I was young. The cost was 5 taels of silver and 5 coins!”

Jiang Li caressed the common long sword as though it was his lover. “In my life, I’ve played with many famous swords, but the one that truly suits me is still this! Young man, rather than chasing after Divine Armaments, why not focus on what’s in front...”

He was implying something, causing Gu Qixing to be secretly shocked. He felt that his thoughts were seen through, but he forced himself to remain calm and laughed coldly. “I respect your consummate inner force, but if I had the Celestial Thearch Sword, would you still dare say this?”

“Yes, yes... I’ve misspoken!”

The atmosphere of an expert around Jiang Li disappeared, and he recovered his philistine old man appearance, as if he was the one that had lost and kept bowing to beg for mercy.

Even Gu Qixing was helpless when he saw this old rascal, but he unexpectedly did not have much hatred in his heart.

Rumble!

At this time, the sky faraway suddenly darkened.

“Maybe it’s going to rain soon?”

A normal martial artist would look for rain gear when they saw this, but third-grade and above Martial Dao masters had solemn expressions. “This is... Heavenly Phenomenon? There are Heavenly Phenomenon martial artists fighting?”

Jiang Li glanced at Gu Qixing in astonishment.

Golden Breeze Drizzle Building Master had personally come, and even the local branch had not known about it, but he was very clear.

According to Heavenly Phenomenon Chen’s intelligence, there should have only been one first-grade grandmaster from the Demon Sect as support.

Arranging this situation was basically them doing their best at performing a minor task.

They had not expected that they would actually score a lucky hit and catch a big fish.

However, the Jiang family’s family property was meager. Hopefully, when the experts exchanged blows, their limited family assets would not be smashed into pieces.

“There are actual Heavenly Phenomenon martial artists exchanging blows? Such experts are already extraordinary Sages and aren’t commonplace!”

A master also had friends and family, as well as disciples.

In no time, the news had spread through the martial artists in the surroundings, creating a great stir. “To be able to witness Immortals at such a level fight, even if I die, I’ll have no regrets!”

The crowd was like chaotic tidal water moving toward the Heavenly Phenomenon martial artists. There were so many that some martial artists even unsheathed their swords to fight for a horse. There were even people complaining that horses were too slow and directly unleashed their lightness skill. There was a stream of black figures in the sky, as lively as a market.

“It seems to be... Building Master!” Ao Zhan was also among the first to arrive outside the Jiang family’s residence. He had an abnormal expression. “The Demon Sect’s Gu Qixing challenged the Jiang family’s patriarch, and the Jiang family abruptly erupted in such a big battle. This should be a strategy devised by the Pugilistic World’s Orthodox Dao to catch some fish! Hehe... No wonder the intelligence from my branch failed. So it was like this!”

Unfortunately, he was well aware that this was the Building Master’s decision. Even if he had more courage, he would not dare lose his temper, only able to watch from afar.

Above Jiang family’s residence, two Heavenly Phenomenon clouds tangled and consumed each other.

One cloud was like a funnel, white and clear. It was Chen Qiyou.

However, the other one was a boiling blood cloud, domineering and wild, with an obvious Demon Dao style.

Poof!

Suddenly, saber light exploded and small, irregular Saber Qi whizzed by. Like small raindrops, they spread toward the surrounding.

Many martial artists instantly collapsed as their bodies were pierced. Large amounts of blood splattered and flew into the cloud, and it became even more demonic and strange.

“This is... the tenth Demonic Armament, Blood Imbibing Saber!” Patriarch Jiang Li was able to recognize it with a glance. “It’s Nangong Wuwang!”

“The owner of the Blood Imbibing Saber?”

“It’s actually like this!”

“I understand... It was a distraction when the Demon Sect asked for a duel.”

Many Pugilistic World figures suddenly understood, looking at old man Jiang Li with pity, and there were already hot-tempered people looking for Gu Qixing, prepared to kill him.

However, how was it possible for this Demon Dao swordsman to let someone grab hold of him? Naturally, he had long vanished, and even those wanting to find him were unable to do anything.

Rumble!

Thunder rumbled in the sky, its sound shocking.

In the blood cloud, Fang Yuan frowned. “A little troublesome...”

This Chen Qiyou opposite him was undoubtedly much harder to deal with than the Heaven Grudge Marquis.

Regarding seizing opportunities in battle and cultivation techniques, he had reached an unimaginable state.

At first, he directly used Sanguine Demon Saber against Sanguine Demon Saber. If Fang Yuan had not changed his move midway quickly enough, he might have been defeated.

The Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror was able to see through a person’s Qi movement. Every time, in the split second Fang Yuan made a move, Chen Qiyou would already know his next action, even seeing the weakness and coming up with a solution to tackle it.

Meeting this kind of opponent was, without a doubt, very painful.

Hey... Sanguine Demon! Your Great Sanguine Demon Technique has already been seen. Don’t you have any thoughts about it?

Fang Yuan struck with his saber and changed nine times midway, but in the end, Chen Qiyou’s fingerprints were still on the saber, forcing him to retreat.

In fact, if not for his scruples about the Blood Imbibing Saber’s sharpness, Fang Yuan’s situation would be even uglier.

*... If we talk about cultivation power, this person is about the same as the Heaven Grudge Marquis from before... *the Sanguine Demon Essence Soul conveyed. Of course, with the help of the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror, one portion of his power can go against ten portions of your power. To be able to last until now, you can already be considered to have adapted at godly speed.

*Stop talking nonsense! *Fang Yuan’s eyes turned cold. Actually, he had still not used his origin power trump card yet.

However, once he used this move, the outcome of the battle would be decided. If it was overcome, then he really could only flee in panic.

Can the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror truly overcome origin power?

Fang Yuan was a little hesitant.

If this was a low dimension world, this would be a complete joke.

However, in this world, it was hard to tell, especially since there was assistance from the world’s rules.

The martial artists of this world were absolutely no different from a Demon God if cultivated to the peak. Otherwise, they would not have been able to suppress the Sanguine Demon.

*This Divine Armament is indeed a little troublesome and can’t be defeated. The only thing that’s useful is still you yourself! *

The Sanguine Demon continued, The Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror can peep into your Qi movement, but if the Qi movement in your body is rich and flawless, or if the flaw is transient and unable to be caught, it’ll be successful!

Of course I understand this logic, but how can the world have a flawless and perfect object. It’s the same for a person, martial arts, and everything else in the world!

Fang Yuan raised his saber suddenly, the corners of his mouth having the hint of a sinister smile. Actually, there’s also a third way!

Rumble!

Blood Imbibing Saber roared unceasingly. It slashed up at the sky, dividing the whole world.

The Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror doesn’t have any combat ability. Seeing flaws is just seeing flaws, but if I’m ten times, a hundred times, stronger than him, what’s the use even if he sees a weakness?

Purple light burst out from his pupils.

In the sky, Chen Qiyou, who had been coping with everything easily, had a complete change in expression. “Why did the Qi increase so dramatically? What kind of secret technique is this?!”

Swoosh!

However, the next moment, he no longer had time to think.

Fang Yuan’s form was just like a martial artist breaking into the void and teleporting. He arrived in front of him and smoothly slashed once.

Zap zap!

Blood erupted.

In a split-second, Fang Yuan had continuously slashed 81 times, and each slash was life-threatening.

Chen Qiyou quickly retreated. Both his hands fluttered like butterflies and crushed the blood-colored Saber Qi.

However, Fang Yuan roared, and the Blood Imbibing Saber glowed continuously. It was another 81 slashes.

The space between Chen Qiyou’s eyebrows emitted a deep radiance as he retreated again and again.

Around him, blood-red Saber Qi was shattered and scattered in incomparable numbers.

“Have a taste of my saber!”

At this time, Fang Yuan took another step and his saber chopped down.

With this blow, the surrounding small, irregular Saber Qi swarmed over as if they had their own minds, gathering to form a violent and large astral saber.

This rapid attack had three times his normal power, especially the gathering and forming of a saber at the end. Even if the Heaven Grudge Marquis came back to life, Fang Yuan had great confidence to make him harbor a grudge!

Rumble!

The astral saber charged into the sky, dispersing the clouds and turning heaven and earth chaotic.

Below the astral saber, Chen Qiyou had a solemn face. His hands looked like he was playing a reed pipe, constantly roaming around the sides of the astral saber.

His palm transformed into an illusionary image covering the entire sky, making an unknown number of moves in a second.

The enormous, blood-red astral saber suddenly froze midair and then became fragments.

“Nangong Wuwang, give up! Your every Qi movement is under my Heavenly Eye.”

Chen Qiyou stood with his hands behind the back, an arrogant look on his face.

“Is it?”

Fang Yuan stood there with the Blood Imbibing Saber, his face smiling.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the sky changed colors and black clouds surged. An earth-shattering, terrifying saber edge outrageously fell from the sky!
