And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 178

As soon as the words left his mouth, a gust of cold wind swept past. The crowd was shocked to realize that a gust of wind had suddenly risen. They actually felt their bodies turn cold, and their exposed skin was covered in layers of dense lumps.

This was because every wisp of wind contained an incomparably sharp Sword Intent!

“What a powerful Sword Intent,” someone could not help but exclaim. This was the pre-emptive strike, using a powerful Sword Intent to crush the opponent.

Xie Mingze, on the other hand, was like a sharp sword that had been unsheathed, revealing its sharpness. No one dared to look at him directly. Those with low cultivation lowered their heads at this moment, afraid that they would be injured by the Sword Intent.

Even in the face of such a powerful and terrifying enemy, Gu Xi stood on the spot without moving an inch. Even his expression did not change. He looked as if he had been scared silly.

“No way. Could it be that he was stunned by Xie Mingze’s aura and could not move?”

“I thought that he was very powerful, but it turns out that he is just so-so.”

“I think that previously, he was only relying on his little tricks and the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. Now, he has revealed his true form in front of a true expert.”

Xie Mingze’s expression was a little confused. Finally, he looked at him seriously, “Why didn’t you use your sword?”

Everyone who fought with him took the battle very seriously, as if they were facing a great enemy. However, they had never been like Gu Xi. There was an indescribable strangeness in his heart.

…

As if he had been reminded by Xie Mingze, Gu Xi only then instinctively summoned the Black Soul Sword. The black sword emitted a black jade-like luster.

Even Xie Mingze could see that this sword was extraordinary. He could not help but exclaim, “It’s a good sword.”

One had to know that he had pursued the pinnacle of swordsmanship all his life. He also yearned for the Divine Sword. After all, every top swordsman hoped to possess the most powerful sword in the world. To be able to receive such praise from him, it was enough to show how special the Black Soul Sword was.

However, in the next second, Gu Xi’s starting stance stunned everyone. Even Xie Mingze was stunned on the spot.

It was not some earth-shattering cultivation technique, but it was so powerful that everyone was shocked.

It was actually something that the Tiangang Sword Sect’s new disciples disdained to learn — the Sword Drawing Technique.

All the sect disciples had seen it before. It was basically given to the outer sect disciples or those who did odd jobs to learn. It was very popular, and not many people even spent time cultivating because it was useless.

Everyone thought that they were hallucinating.

“Am I seeing things? Is this the Sword Drawing Technique? Is he planning to use this to fight Xie Mingze? Is there something wrong with his head?”

Everyone would definitely not be mistaken about such a basic cultivation technique. The way they looked at Gu Xi was as if they thought he had some serious illness.

The person standing in front of him was a top-notch expert in the way of the sword. How could he use an unrated basic sword technique to deal with him?

It was like throwing an egg on a rock!

It was obvious that Xie Mingze was also angry. Gu Xi’s actions clearly showed that he did not take Xie Mingze seriously. His gaze was cold as he said, “You plan to use such a sword technique to exchange blows with me?”

Gu Xi nodded. “The Great Dao is simple. The simpler the technique, the more powerful it will be. This is enough for me.”

Everyone present had extremely mocking expressions on their faces.

There was some truth to this statement.

However, there was a prerequisite. It also depended on the person who used the sword technique, let alone the most basic Sword Drawing Technique.

One must have a strong cultivation base and be at the peak of the Sword Dao. Even Xie Mingze did not dare to say that he had such strength.

“What big words. Who does he think he is? A Sword Saint?! He even said the Great Dao is simple. He is just bragging here.”

“Nowadays, he’s willing to give up his life just to show off. Don’t overdo it.”

Xie Mingze’s expression was a little mocking. “It’s good for young people to be confident, but if you overdo it, you have to be careful. That sword is a waste in your hands. You don’t deserve it at all!”

After saying that, he gently waved the sword. The sword curved and countless Sword Qi burst out. Even the surrounding space was distorted to different degrees.

Countless squalls slowly gathered from heaven and earth, circling around Xie Mingze. Even the Sect Masters felt the pressure.

“This, this is the Myriad Universe Sword Technique!”

“A heaven-grade top-grade cultivation technique, and it’s already infinitely close to the supreme level. It’s also Xie Mingze’s famous ultimate skill. Everyone who has seen it has already died…”

“It’s too terrifying. If I were to face such a sword technique, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to retaliate at all.”

“As expected of the strongest swordsmanship. Fortunately, he’s not my enemy.”

The crowd discussed fervently, their gazes filled with reverence.

The entire world was stirred up by the sword technique. As the wind and clouds gathered, Xie Mingze’s figure moved. An afterimage flashed past, and then swiftly merged into the countless Sword Intent.

The wind was filled with Sword Intent. There was wind everywhere, and there were swords everywhere. Xie Mingze was the most powerful sword in this world!

Gu Xi’s eyes were deep and serene. He could feel the sharp Sword Intent around him. Xie Mingze truly lived up to his reputation.

He did not dare to let his guard down. In an instant, he released all of his spiritual sense and began to scan the Sword Intent in the air, trying to find Xie Mingze’s location.

Unfortunately, this sword technique was too perfect. There were no flaws at all. Looking through his spiritual sense, he actually could not find any flaws.

Gu Xi seemed to have thought of something. Even a Saint could not be perfect. Everything in the world had flaws, even Xie Mingze.

A bold idea appeared in his mind again.

Everything could be extracted by the System, such as sword mountains, spirit stones, and bloodlines. There was nothing that it could not extract.

Then, could he reverse the reasoning? After extracting the flaws, they could find the flaws. As long as he could break them, he would be able to defeat Xie Mingze.

Being distracted on the battlefield was a big taboo. The slightest carelessness could result in death. If everyone knew the thoughts in Gu Xi’s mind, they would definitely lament that he was a madman!
