Divine King of Honour
Chapter 791 - 790: Observing the Sword and Gaining Insight

On the Asking Sword Square of Lingxi Sect's Big Stone Peak.

This moment was packed with people.

The Asking Sword Square was the place where the disciples of Lingxi Sect practiced their skills.

On normal days, the place was not crowded.

But since the crowd of visitors had increased in the past few days,

the Asking Sword Square had been packed every day.

And their presence here,

was naturally to catch a glimpse of Han Xiaoxiao, who was ranked fourth on the Rouge List.

However, unfortunately, Han Xiaoxiao had not appeared at the Asking Sword Square these past few days.

Although they did not see Han Xiaoxiao, another woman on the square had attracted many talented youths from various places.

That's also why, despite not seeing Han Xiaoxiao, the crowd had not dispersed.

Xu Nian, Bu Keng, and Zhang Lin were all standing among the crowd at this moment.

Bu Keng and Zhang Lin's eyes were firmly fixed on the woman who was performing swordsmanship in front of them.

Xu Nian glanced at her and then lost much interest.

Though the sword-dancing woman had good looks and a nice figure, overall, she was not comparable to Sister Hong Xiang.

For someone like Xu Nian, who had seen exceptionally talented beauties, this level of woman really wasn't that interesting.

The only commendable feature Xu Nian found in this woman was her ample bust.

The woman performing sword moves was indeed beautiful and graceful, captivating the hearts of onlookers.

This also resulted in Han Xiaoxiao not appearing,

and the crowd of spectators had not left for that reason.

"Boss, how is it, isn't it very... thrilling?" Bu Keng made a Tai Chi encompassing gesture.

"This woman is the tenth on the Rouge List, named Xie Baishi. As for why she's on the list, I'm afraid, boss, you can also see why," Zhang Lin said with a smile.

Xu Nian smiled lightly and said, "I'm not interested in her. You guys continue to watch here. I'm going to look around, but let me remind you, this swordsmanship is too profound... Oh, it's better for you to watch less of it. If the Tao Heart is not firm, it might cause surges in your energy and blood, which is not good for cultivation."

After saying this, Xu Nian turned and walked out of the crowd.

Zhang Lin and Bu Keng shared a smile.

To not watch this swordsmanship would truly be a waste.

Perhaps only someone like Xu Nian, who had mastered superior swordsmanship, would feel that this level of sword skill was not worthy of his attention.

Xu Nian left the crowd, looking at the people swarming around.

He shook his head helplessly.

It was not that he was playing saint; he genuinely felt that such matters should be stopped at the right point.

Really, if one watched too much, it could indeed affect the Tao Heart.

Besides, just watching without practicing was nothing but pretense.

He always preferred real combat.

Xu Nian left the crowd and began to wander around.

Although the name of Lingxi Sect doesn't contain the word 'sword,' it was truly a sect founded on swordsmanship.

Not to mention the sculptures of Sword Immortals and carvings of Immortal Swords all around.

Even every blade of grass and tree here was imbued with deep sword principles.

As Xu Nian walked along the mountain path, he could sense the essence of swordsmanship emanating all around.

Or rather, the entire Lingxi Sect was like a sharp sword.

Seventy-two main peaks, one hundred eighty sub-peaks, each was like a sharp sword.

Xu Nian walked slowly.

Sword Qi roamed in his chest like Nine Dragons, becoming increasingly vigorous and stirring.

Over three thousand years, countless disciples' acumulation of Sword Dao and Sword Qi had already permeated the entire Beiling Mountain Range.

Now, Xu Nian was using these three thousand years of accumulation to continuously nurture his own Sword Qi and King Jing Sword.

"It's a pity, this Lingxi Sect could have climbed to a higher level if only it didn't lack in talents. If only another Bai Xi Sword Immortal could emerge, Lingxi Sect's future wouldn't just be limited to this tiny Tianlan continent," Xu Nian muttered to himself with a sense of regret.

"Buzz!"

However, just then, Xu Nian suddenly sharpenned his gaze and looked straight ahead.

Because he sensed a piercingly intense Sword Qi coming from ahead.

This Sword Qi felt extremely profound.

"Could it be that some Elder or expert from the Lingxi Sect is cultivating here?" Xu Nian revealed a hint of surprise.

Thus, with a tip of his toes, he directly swept towards the direction ahead.

His movements were light and silent, not even stirring a breath of wind.

This was the result of Xu Nian's comprehension of the Wind Attribute Profound Argumentation.

Therefore, Xu Nian quickly arrived at the source of the Sword Qi, but the person emitting the Sword Qi hadn't noticed Xu Nian's approach.

Xu Nian's face also showed some surprise.

It was completely different from what he had expected.

The person practicing swordsmanship was not some Elder of the Lingxi Sect or a reclusive expert.

Instead, it was a young and beautiful woman.

This woman was exceedingly beautiful and captivating, with a figure incomparably graceful.

Dressed in a white gown, she seemed almost ethereal as she moved with her sword.

Her swordsmanship was at times as fierce as a storm, and at times as elusive as dance sleeves in the moon palace.

Extremely pleasing to the eye.

Xu Nian's expression showed a hint of surprise.

He could feel that the swordsmanship wielded by this woman contained a dense presence of the Wind Attribute Profound Argumentation.

And this Profound Argumentation was precisely the Wind Vibration that he was cultivating.

However, judging by this woman's mastery of the Wind Attribute Profound Argumentation, it was clear that she had reached the level of Initial Profound Argumentation Formation.

She was just one step away from Small Achievement.

As for her cultivation, this woman's cultivation was also extremely high, having reached the Early Stage Cave Void.

At first sight of this woman, Xu Nian identified her identity.

The Heavenly Pride Girl of the Lingxi Sect, fourth on the Rouge List, Han Xiaoxiao.

Xu Nian never expected to encounter Han Xiaoxiao, whom everyone was desperately trying to meet, by sheer chance.

And even more unexpectedly, she was alone in this Small Bamboo Forest practicing swordsmanship.

"Who's there?"

However, just as Xu Nian was about to continue watching the sword practice,

Han Xiaoxiao suddenly fixed her gaze and looked towards Xu Nian.

Then without hesitation, she directly thrust her sword out.

This sword shone coldly like the Milky Way stretching across the lands, directly chopping through the bamboo and slashing towards Xu Nian.

Xu Nian was startled, not expecting to be discovered by Han Xiaoxiao.

Watching that swiftly approaching Sword Radiance, his expression also turned chilly.

He directly countered the incoming Sword Radiance with a palm strike.

"Boom!"

The sword light shattered, and the Sword Qi scattered in all directions.

Xu Nian's figure, however, remained as stable as a mountain.

The bamboo forest was swept aside, forming a long path.

Han Xiaoxiao, with a surprised look on her pretty face, watched as this young man blocked her sword with one palm.

Although her strike was not meant to harm,

it definitely was not something that a Zifu Level expert could easily handle.

The fact that this young man caught her sword so casually indicated that his strength was not far behind hers.

However, this young man seemed to be a few years younger than her!

"Who are you?" Han Xiaoxiao immediately asked in a cold voice.

Xu Nian smiled slightly and said, "My name is Xu Nian, a guest attending an event at your sect. I was simply strolling around and entered here by accident, with no intention of offending the lady."

"So you are a guest of our sect; then I apologize for the discourtesy, but this place is my private residence. Please leave," Han Xiaoxiao immediately issued a request for him to leave.

Xu Nian just smiled slightly and responded, "I can leave, but if I do, the lady might regret it."

"Eh?" Han Xiaoxiao was taken aback, gazing at Xu Nian with a puzzled face.
