The sun slowly sank to the west, the heavy darkness gradually enveloped the earth, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased.
"After a whole day's journey, I guess everyone is tired!"
"How about this, we rest in the inn for one night and then visit Excalibur Villa early tomorrow morning."
……
The next day.
The sun is rising.
Xie Xiaoxu got up early to practice sword before it was light.
After comprehending the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, he practiced even more diligently. After a few days of practice, he had already mastered this sword technique to perfection and could perform it with ease.
He even reached the point where his fingers were as sharp as swords and he could kill people in an instant without holding a sword.
Now there is no one among the younger generation in Shenjian Villa who can match him!
"At this rate of progress, it won't be long before I can reach Grandmaster level."
"Only when you reach the Grandmaster level can you be considered a master!"
"Don't rush for success. With my extraordinary comprehension, if nothing unexpected happens, it's only a matter of time before I reach the pinnacle of martial arts!"
Xie Xiaoxu is extremely confident.
Who can master two top-level sword skills at the age of seventeen or eighteen?
Moreover, relying on his extraordinary comprehension, he will never encounter any bottlenecks in practicing any martial arts, and his practice speed will be twice as fast with half the effort.
Just as he was about to continue practicing, a heavy sound of footsteps was heard.
Xie Wangsun came over with a smile on his face, looked at Xie Xiaoxu who was sweating profusely, and said with concern:
"Xiao Xu, you don't have to work so hard. The way of martial arts is all about enlightenment! Sometimes years of hard training are not as good as an instant enlightenment!"
Although the fourth brother is now incredibly talented, martial arts is not that easy.
I have practiced hard for decades but have only reached the Grandmaster level, let alone a novice who is basically starting from scratch.
Xie Xiaoxu nodded without commenting.
This may work for others, but not for him.
The most amazing thing about us is our understanding!
Looking at the long sword in Xie Xiaoxu's hand, Xie Wangsun slapped his forehead and said, "I was so confused. I was so focused on teaching you swordsmanship that I forgot to equip you with a sword that suits your needs!"
"Well, come with me to the Cangjianlu."
Xie Xiaoxu's eyes lit up.
Cangjianlu is the most solemn holy place in Shenjian Villa, and even he, the fourth young master, has never been there.
As far as I can remember, only a genius like Xie Xiaofeng is qualified to enter.
The two walked through the back mountain and came to a mysterious cave.
There are several sword slaves with strong auras guarding the entrance of the cave.
Xie Xiaoxu felt the cold murderous aura from them. He could imagine that if he broke in without permission from the top management, even he, the fourth young master, would be killed by the sword slave.
Fortunately, Xie Xiaoxu has now been recognized by the top management of Shenjian Villa, and with Xie Wangsun personally leading him, he passed the test easily.
The Sword Canglu is very spacious.
There are countless sword tombs, which are like small hills, standing quietly among the sword tombs.
He was a peerless hero who had fallen in Excalibur Villa over the past hundreds of years.
Some sword tombs are engraved with the names and deeds of heroes, revealing endless heroic legends and vicissitudes of life.
The most eye-catching are the stone tablets carved from fine jade, which look like small hills embedded in the earth.
There are nineteen stone tablets, and each of them has countless sword marks. The sword marks on them are actually the sword intent left by the predecessors of the villa!
Those sword intentions still have their charm after hundreds of years of erosion. One can imagine how strong the sword intentions of our ancestors were.
"Let's try to see if we can decipher the sword intent in the stone tablet. I believe that with your talent, you should be able to achieve good results!"
Xie Wangsun said after glancing at the stone tablet, looking at Xie Xiaoxu eagerly.
As if he thought of something, his bright eyes dimmed slightly.
He sighed and continued, "Back then, Xiaofeng was extremely talented. In just one hour, he cracked all the sword intents left by his predecessors. This even broke the record of Shenjian Villa for three hundred years!"
Chapter 7: Excalibur Villa is nothing special
Xie Xiaoxu was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Those who were able to leave their sword skills on this stone tablet were all the brilliant geniuses in the Divine Sword Manor of the past.
And there are as many as nineteen of them.
Xie Xiaofeng was able to crack all the sword techniques they left behind within an hour. This talent is truly strong!
It seems that this cheap third brother of mine is not an ordinary person! He is quite capable.
Xie Xiaoxu didn't think he was worse than Xie Xiaofeng, so he immediately nodded and gave it a try.
As soon as he stepped onto the first stone tablet and looked at the sword marks left on the stone tablet, Xie Xiaoxu's consciousness seemed to be pulled into a mysterious space.
A swordsman in white appeared in my consciousness.
The white-robed swordsman was wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Divine Sword Villa. He nodded at Xie Xiaoxu, his eyes filled with kindness.
It is probably an ancestor of the Xie family.
Before Xie Xiaoxu could come to his senses, the white-clothed swordsman drew his sword swiftly, and his lightning-fast swordsmanship was displayed to perfection.
The sword light as fast as lightning appeared in front of him in an instant.
"So fast!"
This ancestor followed the path of the swift sword, and his sword-drawing speed was first-rate even in today's martial arts world.
Xie Xiaoxu's eyes narrowed and he reacted quickly.
Suddenly, the majestic sword intent gushed out like a spring, instantly repelling the incoming sword.
Xie Xiaoxu put his fingers together like a sword, shooting out a sharp sword light and returning the favor.
The swordsman in white seemed to consciously dodge to the side, but it was still a little too late.
The sword light knocked the sword out of his hand, creating a brilliant spark of fire, and then pierced his wrist without any hindrance.
Since it was just a shadow, there was no bleeding and no obvious scars, it just looked a little weaker.
Xie Xiaoxu took advantage of the situation and did not give him a chance to breathe. He unsheathed his sword and stabbed at him.
Under such a fierce attack, the white-clothed swordsman could no longer withstand it after just three rounds.
The first stone tablet was cracked instantly.
It’s easier than you think!
I don’t know whether it’s because my ancestors were weak or because I’m too strong.
Xie Xiaoxu didn't think much about it and walked towards the next stone tablet without stopping.
Xie Wangsun, who had been paying attention to him, was suddenly dumbfounded.
So fast!
It only took a few breaths to defeat a senior warrior! This guy is going to defy the heavens!
Even Xiaofeng at that time could not match this speed!
Could it be that the fourth child in my family is the real genius, but I have always ignored him!
The current Xie Xiaoxu is better than Xie Xiaofeng back then in terms of both talent and understanding, especially in terms of understanding, where he far surpasses the latter.
"I am old and short-sighted. I have allowed such a perfect gem to be covered in dust. It is really wrong!"
He couldn't even see through his own son, letting such a martial arts genius drink and indulge in pleasure all day long. Xie Wangsun wanted to slap himself a few times.
Fortunately, it is not too late. The fourth brother has been on the right track. I believe that with his talent, it will not be difficult for him to obtain a peerless sword here.
As long as it can grow smoothly, Excalibur Villa will surely reach new heights.
When Xie Wangsun came to his senses, Xie Xiaoxu had already quickly moved to the next stone tablet. His steps were getting faster and faster, and no stone tablet could stop him at all.
He easily cracked the sword intent that was extremely mysterious to the disciples of the Divine Sword Villa.
In less than ten minutes, seven stone tablets were cracked.
In Xie Xiaoxu's mind, he had already defeated seven kendo masters.
All of them were crushed with the force of thunder.
Although the figures in the stone tablet are masters of the Excalibur Villa from generation to generation, with the increasing prosperity of martial arts, it is only a matter of time before they are surpassed by their successors, not to mention encountering a monster like Xie Xiaoxu.
The defeat was extremely tragic.
If the ancestors were conscious, they would definitely curse as treason to the teacher and the ancestors!
How can you treat your ancestors like this?
As soon as we met, he stabbed me with a sword, not even giving me time to breathe.
At this time, the eighth stone tablet has begun to be cracked!
Even though I was crushed all the way, I could still learn something from it.
The sword techniques of the ancestors were varied and unique. Xie Xiaoxu's eyes lit up and he started to attack with a sword.
The eighth stone tablet strongman took a strange path.
Hiding in the shadows and darkness, every strike of the sword comes from an incredible angle.
This sword technique is tailor-made for assassins.
Xie Xiaoxu guessed that maybe he was a master sent out by the Divine Sword Villa who was well versed in the ways of a killer, and what he did could not be made public.
They all do the job of killing people to silence them.
There are such characters in every force in the world, some are obvious and some are hidden.
But now Xie Xiaoxu is almost a swordsman, and in his eyes the opponent is no different from a naked runner. He solves the problem with one sword and moves on to the next one!
……
At this moment.
Miejue brought several Emei disciples to the Divine Sword Villa.
Seeing this beautiful scenery that looks like a fairyland surrounded by mountains and rivers, many disciples were amazed at the beautiful scenery here.
Ding Minjun took a deep breath and said, "Shenjian Villa is indeed a sacred place for martial arts. The scenery here alone is enough to make people linger."
Zhou Zhiruo was also intoxicated by the beautiful scenery here.
The beauty of this place is not inferior to that of Emei Mountain!
But the next second, her intoxicated expression gradually disappeared.
Xie Xiaoxu is indeed a mediocre person as he grew up in such a holy place of martial arts but still can't accomplish anything!
Zhou Zhiruo became more determined to cancel the engagement.
When they entered the Divine Sword Villa, all the Emei disciples were surprised to see that there were only a few people here. In such a big villa, there were so few disciples, even less than half of the number of disciples in the Emei Sect.
Moreover, the cultivation base of those disciples is generally weaker than that of Emei Sect. It is hard to imagine that the former holy land of martial arts has fallen to this state.
"It seems that after Xie Xiaofeng's death, Shenjian Villa is indeed in trouble."
"Not only is it impossible, I see the current situation of Shenjian Villa, it is not far from being destroyed. How can such a small number of people protect such a huge foundation!"
"It seems that Master's choice is wise. If Junior Sister Zhiruo marries here, she will have to suffer with them."
A group of Emei disciples began to whisper.
