Chapter 234: 【190-191】Martial Artist Realm, Breakthrough! Jiang Hai Chao Observes the Sword Falling (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_4
 

“I’ll make just one move, so pay close attention,” Lin Xia Wei said calmly to Pei Jinye, as though she hadn’t noticed the opponent’s arrogant demeanor.

Pei Jinye’s gaze was fixed and attentive.

The next second.

He only saw Lin Xia Wei’s jade-like hand gently raise.

In an instant, the rampant river suddenly converged, and in a blink, under the shocked gazes of everyone, it coalesced into a massive water sword.

Even the riverbed at the bottom of the great river was laid bare!

Seeing this, everyone’s faces changed color.

Especially the boastful second-in-command of the Dark Shadow Thief Group from just before.

What kind of background does that woman on the opposite bank have!

“What does ‘A Sword Determines Life and Death’ mean? Look—” Lin Xia Wei’s voice drifted to Pei Jinye’s ears, “This is it.”

As her voice fell, the gigantic water sword that had formed above the river suddenly turned into a blazing sword light, more turbulent than the river and more brilliant than the starry sky.

Everyone saw it clearly, even Brother Bi outside the mountain range instinctively looked up at the streak of sword light that flashed by in the sky.

However, it was at this moment.

The complexion of the second-in-command of the Dark Shadow Thief Group drastically changed, his body hair stood on end, his heart violently shook, and his body instinctively screamed a frantic warning to dodge.

Because he was acutely aware that the target of that sword from across the way was him.

In his eyes, the massive water sword had completely locked onto his essence, and no matter how he dodged, the sword was going to strike down.

What did this mean? It meant that he couldn’t understand the essence of this sword at all!

His complexion turned incredibly ugly.

Yet the second-in-command didn’t choose to sit idly by awaiting death; he clapped his hands together, shouting something unknown, and suddenly his palms flashed with a faint glow.

His hands rapidly formed a Dharma Seal.

Then he struck out fiercely.

The moment he struck, the void in front of him seemed to be crushed by the scattered black light, as dense as a mountain, forming a circular disk.

The disk seemed to absorb all the black matter in the surrounding void like a sea that contains hundreds of rivers.

The light shone like a cosmic whirlpool, and the erupting momentum felt as though even the sun and moon in the sky could be Devoured!

It was at this moment that the sword in mid-air arrived.

Just when everyone thought it would be an evenly matched battle with earth-shattering collisions, what happened next left everyone on the shoreline stupefied.

The water sword hadn’t even made contact with the massive black disk when the latter already collapsed under its weight, the scattering black light like thousands of severed little snakes, vanishing into thin air.

And the sword continued its advance, unstoppable, as if there was nothing in this world that could stand in its way!

In the incredulous eyes of the second-in-command from the Thief Gang, the sword was reflected in his eyes, drawing closer and closer in what seemed like a millionth of a breath…

He had no capacity to fight back, not even an opportunity for a last gasp, and could only watch as the sword drew nearer…and came to rest at the center of his brow.

On the opposite bank.

Lin Xia Wei didn’t look at the outcome of her sword strike; instead, she turned around, her back facing those people on the opposite bank.

A Sword Determines Life and Death!

Once the sword was released, the outcome was decided!

Pei Jinye’s mind raced frantically.

Modeling! Modeling! Modeling!

The explosive increase in his spiritual power allowed him to perform two hundred thousand simulations in a short time, contemplating this sword.

Although he didn’t know the strength of the second-in-command of the Thief Gang, the sword attack his junior sister had just unleashed had barely paused before cutting down her opponent.

This power…could it be that junior sister’s Transcendence was in swordsmanship?

A natural Sword Master?

“Master told me that ‘A Sword Determines Life and Death,’ which means if I will him to live, he will, and if I will him to die, he will,” Lin Xia Wei’s voice came through.

Pei Jinye snapped back to reality, looked up, and said with a raspy voice, “Sister, I hear every word you say, but when put together…I’m a bit confused.”

“That’s normal. This isn’t ordinary swordsmanship, you are still too weak now; expecting to fully grasp the mysteries of this sword technique in one gulp is like a fool’s dream. Even our second senior brother, who has reached ‘Sword Heart Transparent,’ took at least twenty thousand beatings to barely touch the surface, and only then did he attain his current level in the Sword Dao.”

Pei Jinye couldn’t help but be inwardly shocked.

This time, he had truly found a powerful support!

“Let’s go,” Lin Xia Wei said with a nod.

Pei Jinye was startled, “What about the thieves on the opposite shore…”

“Team Seven can handle them. I brought you here to experience this sword. I know you struggle with cultivation on a daily basis, but I still want to advise you not to bite off more than you can chew. It’s not necessary to compete to be the first in everything; even just one or two killer moves are sufficient.”

Pei Jinye knew he had been misunderstood.

But he didn’t explain.

If he really only had one talent, of course, he would concentrate on cultivating it.

The key issue now was that he harbored too many talents.

That meant he could master many domains untouchable by others.

Not to exaggerate…

Pei Jinye didn’t even know where his own limits lay.

All he knew was…

To grow stronger, to break through the limits of life…perhaps one day even the gods mentioned by mortals would be nothing more than ordinary.

“Thank you, senior sister,” he said.

“As my junior brother, of course, I’ll protect you. But I’ll tell you this, if you ever meet someone from Judgement Place, if you can beat them, do so.”

“Okay!”

“Don’t you want to ask why?”

“I just need to follow through with what sister says.”

…

The breeze blew by, and within a fleeting glimpse, Lin Xia Wei let out a rare chuckle.
