Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 420: Chapter 208: Welcoming the Sword

“In the world of martial arts, a hundred flowers bloom; every Sect has its moment of victory.”

Chu Qiuyu chuckled lightly, taking a sip of the autumn brewing, before saying, “However, the principle of feint and actual attack is much like Yin and Yang.

“Some are well-versed in this principle; others have only heard of it.

“Some know that it exists but not why it does; and of those who understand why, how many can there be?”

“It is precisely this principle.”

Su Mo nodded: “The Third Palace Master is only sixteen and has already achieved such a level of mastery; it truly commands admiration.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Ziyi couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo:

“Then tell me, was the ’Chaotic World Flying Star’ strike I performed just now feint or actual?”

“…”

Su Mo was momentarily speechless: “We were having a fine time, drinking and laughing—why have you suddenly turned to testing me?”

“I…”

Wei Ziyi was about to blurt out ’I don’t care’, but then suddenly remembered Chu Qiuyu was present.

After pausing for a moment, she then said:

“Don’t think I am unaware, Su, the Chief of the Escort, that you are one of the few great swordmasters in the world today.

“The battle in Xuanji Valley, to this day, still leaves me with lingering fears.

“When first we met, it haunted my midnight dreams, waking me with fright from your sword’s edge.

“Your dedication to the study of this craft surely surpasses mine by a hundredfold.

“Being friends… If I can’t ask you for guidance when I have such an advantage, wouldn’t that be a waste of this heaven-sent opportunity?”

Chu Qiuyu, hearing this, couldn’t help but nod her head:

“I’ve heard about it, too. Inside Xuanji Valley, Su, the Chief of the Escort, killed the Three Commanders of the Youquan Sect with a single sword strike.

“This caused a stir among the various Sects in Dongcheng.

“Any of these Three Commanders, if taken individually, were by no means ordinary.

“Together, their strength was not less than the Xuehai Department Master.

“With one sword, Su, the Chief of the Escort, killed the three; it was indeed a delight to the people.”

She paused for a moment: “What’s more, my Junior Sister Wei rarely speaks this much, and her words are almost pleading; that is even rarer.”

Su Mo was momentarily at a loss for words, thinking that it indeed was rare for Wei Ziyi to speak so.

After musing for a while, Su Mo smiled lightly: “I would say your strike just now was Nine Illusions and One Reality.”

“Oh?”

Wei Ziyi’s eyebrows arched slightly: “How so?”

“To me, the most ingenious aspect of the Flying Star Sword Technique is its interplay of feint and actual attack.

“Yet this is also its most challenging aspect.

“’Chaotic World Flying Star’—a sky full of sword movements.

“At first glance, it certainly looks like a multitude of sword shadows, like a downpour of stars.

“To support it with the Stepping Moon Immortal, it indeed becomes difficult to distinguish feint from the actual.

“However, it is also because of this that it is extremely difficult to grasp the essentials.

“When I say Nine Illusions and One Reality, I am, in truth, being lenient… In my opinion, your ’Chaotic World Flying Star’ move is merely for show, aimed to intimidate.”

Su Mo’s words were rather harsh, sparing no courtesy.

Wei Ziyi observed Su Mo quietly, then suddenly smiled lightly:

“Thank you, Su, the Chief of the Escort.”

“No need for courtesy.”

Su Mo raised his cup: “Alliance Leader Wei, don’t mind my reckless words.”

Chu Qiuyu looked at the two and smiled, shaking her head: “It’s a pity that I’ve yet to witness Su, the Chief of the Escort’s supreme sword skill.”

“In my opinion, it’s just as well not seen.”

Wei Ziyi suddenly said: “Otherwise, Senior Sister Chu might end up like me, constantly fearing in her midnight dreams that she’d meet her end by that sword.”

“Is it truly that extraordinary?”

Chu Qiuyu couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo.

Su Mo shook his head lightly: “It is indeed better left unseen.”

The Fifteenth Sword of the Death-Defying Thirteen Sword Technique is a sword that kills without equal.

The preceding fourteen strikes are already exceedingly fierce, culminating in the last which exhausts all variations with the sole intent to kill.

“Let it be, let it be.”

Chu Qiuyu shook her head: “It’s a pity that I wasn’t in Xuanji Valley at the time to witness Su, the Chief of the Escort’s display of divine might.”

As the people chatted idly, they once again brought up Liu Suifeng.

Chu Qiuyu was particularly interested in this man, knowing even more than what Wei Ziyi had learned from the inn.

The tales about Wan Cangxin were even more widespread.

They say that ever since he arrived in Dongcheng, his acts of chivalry and valor have made his reputation ever more formidable.

Although the identity of Elder Tianquan’s disciple has already taken him from obscurity to being known by all,

his actions during the recent period have made many truly admire Wan Cangxin, and not just because he is a disciple of Elder Tianquan.

Su Mo was quite curious and probed for details.

He indeed learned a few significant things from Chu Qiuyu’s words.

After entering Dongcheng, the man did three things.

The first was as a guest within the Huayang Sect, where he uncovered a spy from Eternal Night Valley hidden within the Huayang Sect.

The Sect Leader of the Huayang Sect held this spy in high trust, even intending to pass on leadership.

Unexpectedly, the spy did not know of this and was planning to assassinate him secretly.

Wan Cangxin, being a guest at the Huayang Sect, sensed these plans and secretly gathered evidence, exposing the spy under the watchful eyes of all.

The Huayang Sect, from top to bottom, was shocked.

The Sect Leader of the Huayang Sect held Wan Cangxin in the highest esteem, stating that should Wan Cangxin ever have a request, a single letter would be enough for the entire Sect to come to his aid without any hesitation.

The second incident occurred when he entered Yukong Mountain, where he stumbled upon two Sects meeting to compete.

He intervened on the spot to prevent the fight, saving both parties from death and injury.
