Eternal Sword

Chapter 409: Testing the Sword on You
Everything happened too fast.

So fast that many people haven't reacted yet.

Xia Yuanxian looked at Qiu Meng's body and frowned slightly.

Sneak attack?

His first reaction was that Qiu Meng stepped onto the martial arts field, but before he could gain a firm foothold, he was shot to death by Chen Tang with an arrow.

Otherwise, as a warrior in the inner alchemy realm, it is difficult to explain why Qiu Meng died so quickly.

Qiu Meng, as the guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was selected through strict selection. The gray iron armor on his body was forged with high-quality fine iron. Even a five-stone strong bow could not penetrate it within a hundred meters!

How many crossbows did that man use?

Xia Yuanxian withdrew his gaze and no longer looked at Qiu Meng.

In his eyes, the dead guards were worthless.

Xia Yuanxian looked at the crowd, looking for the next guard to appear.

I believe that with the lessons learned from the past, everyone should be more careful and stay alert.

"He Fan, you go."

Xia Yuanxian called one of them out.

"As ordered!"

The guard named "He Fan" looked short and thin. He had no armor on his body, but only a tight suit, which made him look even more agile and nimble. He rushed to the martial arts field in two or three steps.

The second guard was obviously not chosen randomly.

Qiu Meng was tall, wearing heavy armor, and moving slowly. Facing Chen Tang's powerful bow, it was indeed difficult for him to resist and parry.

And this 'He Fan', among all the guards, has the best body movement and lightness skills!
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, he served as a small scout leader.

The width of the martial arts arena is only a dozen feet, and at this distance, the lethality of bows and arrows is indeed very great.

But once the first arrow misses, it will be difficult to have a second chance!
"If He Fan can use his body skills to avoid the first arrow shot by this person, he can take the opportunity to get close to him. However, weapons like bows and arrows have almost no lethality at close range, and are instead a burden..."

As Xia Yuanxian walked back, he was trying to guess the situation behind him.

Zheng!
The familiar sound of a bowstring was heard.

Another familiar breeze with a faint smell of blood blew across my face.

Another black shadow flew past and fell heavily to the ground.

He Fan is dead.

Xia Yuanxian: “…”

He still didn't quite understand, how could it be?
"What happened just now? How could He Fan lose so quickly?"

Xia Yuanxian had his back to the martial arts arena and saw nothing. He randomly called a guard from the crowd and asked with a frown.

"That person raised his hand and shot an arrow, and He Fan didn't dodge it..."

The guard stammered.

Is this over?

Xia Yuanxian still felt it was a bit absurd.

However, these two arrows finally aroused a little interest in him.

"Good archery!"

"Pretty!"

There were a few cheers from the crowd.

Although no one knew where Chen Tang came from, he was able to kill two guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion with two arrows cleanly and neatly, which was considered a relief for the people in the martial arts world who had been holding back for the entire battle!
"very good."

Xia Yuanxian turned around and walked towards the martial arts arena, saying, "Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."

Seeing Xia Yuanxian coming to the martial arts arena, Chen Tang threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the side of the field.

The Jiaolong Bow can easily kill a fifth-grade inner elixir, but it is far from enough to deal with Xia Yuanxian.

Chen Tang is not so arrogant as to be so arrogant.

Xia Yuanxian didn't rush to attack, but just asked calmly: "What weapon do you use?"

Chen Tang glanced and happened to see a familiar figure at the back of the martial arts arena. The figure was waving at him wildly across the crowd. He looked excited and his face was flushed.

Chen Tang felt relieved. He waved his arm and shouted, "Sword!"

Xia Yuanxian saw Chen Tang looking into the distance with extraordinary momentum, as if in the next moment, thousands of long swords would break through the air and cover the sky and the sun. He couldn't help but look stern and be on guard.

Seeing Chen Tang so calm and acting like a peerless master, everyone present could not help but look in the direction Chen Tang was looking, with anticipation on their faces.

I have heard for a long time that some magical weapons will develop a hint of spirituality after following their masters for many years.

Even if we are thousands of miles apart, as long as we think about it, we can still sense it and come when we are called!

Could it be that this young man is such a hidden master?

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

Only a few crows flew across the sky, making croaking sounds.

The martial arts arena suddenly became cold.

Old Lady Su held her forehead.

Why are the young people nowadays so jumpy? The sound of a sword coming makes my blood boil.

If you want to use a sword, just use a sword. It's really foolish of you to do this.

Mei Zhenyu, however, saw that the situation was somewhat awkward, and regardless of the risk of his identity being exposed, he raised his voice and said, "Brother Chen, use my sword!"

"Brother Chen, here comes the sword!"

Finally, a voice was heard from the crowd.

Chen Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

You are here at last.

He just noticed Qi Bo, who was looking excited behind the crowd, and guessed that the sword should be ready!

"Brother Chen, I have accomplished my mission!"

Qi Bo held a shark skin-wrapped scabbard long sword in both hands and handed it to Chen Tang.

Chen Tang took the sword
The hilt of the sword is carefully carved from ancient nanmu wood, and its texture is as tortuous and graceful as the ripples of autumn water. When held in the hand, it is as rough as sand, as hard as a rock, and a little cold, which prevents sweating from holding it for a long time. Buzz!
The long sword was unsheathed, and the sword body was fully revealed, and Chen Tang's eyes lit up.

The sword is about three feet long and two fingers wide, narrow and smooth, like a pool of autumn water, clear and transparent, with a hint of coolness.

As it was forged by stacking seven flying swords, there were ripples on the sword body, which looked as if they were formed by nature.

Chen Tang gently turned the sword, and under the sunlight, the ripples on the water reflected light, as if the autumn water was rippling silently, flowing endlessly, and merging into one with the sky.

Everyone present couldn't help but secretly praise the sword in their hearts!
Several warriors from the Sword Casting Villa were even more thoughtful when they saw this scene.

Among the few people, only one had met Chen Tang and the other three that day, so he was not sure yet. He had to go back and report the matter to the three owners of the manor before making a final decision.

"This sword is the most proud work of my life. Once this sword is completed, I will have no regrets in this life."

Qi Bo said: "Please give this sword a name, Brother Chen."

Chen Tang stretched out two fingers and gently stroked the sword's spine. He closed his eyes and felt the chill emanating from the sword edges on both sides.

The two fingers suddenly stopped in the middle of the sword and the fingertips flicked lightly.

Tick ​​tock!

It is like a drop of water falling on the lake covered with sunset glow, clear and melodious, relaxing and happy.

As the sword trembled slightly, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.

The sky is filled with setting clouds, and the autumn water is like a sword.

Chen Tang opened his eyes and said, "The sword's name is 'Autumn Water'."

"Good good!"

Qi Bo praised repeatedly and laughed: "Qiu Shui, Qiu Shui! This sword will be famous all over the world!"

"Humph!"

Xia Yuanxian sneered and said, "Whether a magic weapon can become famous depends on who holds it. If it falls into the hands of a mediocre person, no matter how powerful it is, it will be like a pearl covered in dust."

"'Autumn Water' has just been completed, so I'll use you to test the sword."

Chen Tang turned around, holding the Autumn Water Sword, and his aura changed.

"What a loud tone!"

Xia Yuanxian had already become impatient, he stepped on the ground on tiptoe, his figure was like a ghost, in the blink of an eye he was close to Chen Tang, drew his sword and slashed!

With fleeting glimpses and the Ten Styles of Moonlight, no one in the same level can match his brilliance.

In the previous battle, Shen Zhiyuan only confronted him head-on once, then changed his tactics and used the power of "Linhe Xu" to trap him, not daring to confront him head-on.

Chen Tang did not dodge or evade, but stabbed forward with a seemingly casual sword.

Clang!
Xia Yuanxian's long sword had just been unsheathed, and the Ten Styles of Moonlight had not yet been fully performed, when Chen Tang stabbed the blade with a sword!
"Ok?"

Xia Yuanxian felt a terrifying force surging through the sword. He was unable to resist it and slid back half a foot!

This caused a stir among the crowd.

Xia Yuanxian has been training his body, strengthening his internal organs, and has already reached the state of awakening.

Even Shen Zhiyuan and Su Muzhe who were on the list didn't dare to fight him head-on. This Chen Tang forced them back with just a casual strike of his sword!

This person's power seems to be even greater than Xia Yuanxian's!
Everyone could see clearly that Chen Tang's temple also showed no signs of bulging.

Could it be that this person is also following the path of training the physical body?

When Zhu Lingxue saw this sword, she was suspicious and couldn't help asking, "Brother, the sword that Brother Chen just used seems to be the subtle fragrance in the "Cold Plum Sword Art"?"

Mei Zhenyu nodded and said, "Indeed."

"How can he know our sect's swordsmanship?"

Zhu Lingxue widened her eyes, her face full of confusion.

Mei Zhenyu was silent for a moment, then said, "Brother Chen has seen me practice a few times..."

Zhu Lingxue opened her little mouth, speechless for a moment.

After seeing his senior brother practice it a few times, he learned it?

She has practiced the "Hanmei Sword Technique" for many years, but has not yet fully mastered it.

"Good good."

In the martial arts arena, Xia Yuanxian nodded repeatedly and said, "No wonder you dare to challenge me, it turns out that you have also practiced your physical body and cultivated to the state of enlightenment!"

"However, brute force alone is useless. In my eyes, you are nothing but fish on the chopping board!"

Before he finished speaking, Xia Yuanxian attacked again, his movements were still swift, agile and erratic.

Using the sharp sword technique of the Ten Styles of Moonlight, he rushed towards Chen Tang.

Chen Tang remained calm and composed, just standing there swinging his sword casually, sometimes using moves from "Hanmei Sword Art", sometimes from "White Ape Sword Art", and sometimes from "Linhe Preface".

It seems disorganized and unsystematic.

But every sword of Chen Tang could easily resolve Xia Yuanxian's attack.

In the eyes of everyone, they only saw Xia Yuanxian circling around Chen Tang and attacking him continuously in the martial arts arena, but he failed every time.

Chen Tang remained calm and composed, performing many exquisite sword moves effortlessly.

Every time he attacked, Xia Yuanxian was forced to retreat, and he looked extremely embarrassed!

"it is good!"

"Good swordsmanship!"

Many martial artists couldn't help but cheer and applaud to boost Chen Tang's momentum.

"what is it call?"

Xiao Wuhen, who was standing by, felt annoyed and sneered, "Mr. Xia still has many cards that he hasn't played yet. Now, we can only play with him."

After all, many heroes in the martial arts world had just witnessed Xia Yuanxian's methods, and they knew that what Xiao Wuhen said was true.

As long as Xia Yuanxian uses those two flying swords, the situation will immediately reverse!

But at least for now, everyone felt happy to see that Xia Yuanxian, who was so arrogant just now, could not be defeated after a long attack.

In fact, many people were just there to watch the fun and had no idea that Xia Yuanxian had been fighting with Chen Tang for so long that he felt like vomiting blood.
