Chapter 279 The Challenge of the Sword God
"You have to bear the consequences of the trouble you caused yourself."
However, this is quite interesting.
Gu Qianbei thought to himself that he was actually quite tempted by Ximen Chuixue's challenge.
Since breaking through to the late stage of Grandmaster, he has not encountered a worthy opponent.
If I could fight Ximen Chuixue, I could see my current limits.
"Brother Gu, you can stall him for a bit."
This guy is about to go crazy from holding it in.
If you fight him now, he might go very far.
Lu Xiaofeng whispered something in Gu Qianbei's ear, but Gu Qianbei just smiled.
Gu Qianbei stepped forward, unleashing his own fighting spirit and aura.
"I accept your challenge!"
On Ximen Chuixue's face, which was as cold as an iceberg, a tiny upward curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
That was a storm of joy.
"Good! Very good!"
As Ximen Chuixue gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand, Gu Qianbei suddenly said, "Let's go somewhere else."
My house can't take any more damage; they'll tear it down later.
"Where do you want to go?"
Ximen Chuixue said in a low voice.
"The Number One Manor Under Heaven has a martial arts arena. It's huge, enough for us to cause some trouble. Let's go there."
"it is good."
Ximen Chuixue nodded in agreement, and his right hand, which was gripping the sword, loosened slightly.
Lu Xiaofeng quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Gu, are you really going to fight? Are you confident?"
This guy is really crazy right now.
Try to persuade them to wait a couple of days; things might get better.
"It doesn't matter. The crazier the sword, the more interesting I find it."
After Gu Qianbei finished speaking, he used his Lightning Speed Step to head towards the training ground.
Ximen Chuixue immediately followed closely behind.
"How come I never noticed before that Brother Gu was this crazy?"
Lu Xiaofeng complained.
"That's because you don't understand Gu Qianbei's strength. Below the Heavenly Realm, no one can make him fear."
Even if this person were the Sword God Ximen Chuixue, it would still be the same.
Wanwan said with a smile, her face full of trust in Gu Qianbei.
"This guy's gotten that good now?"
Lu Xiaofeng asked in surprise.
You'll understand in a moment.
After Wanwan finished speaking, she used her lightness skill to follow after him.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng didn't say anything more and followed.
Soon, the group arrived at the training ground.
Along with them came many masters from the number one manor in the world.
"It's Ximen Chuixue! What's he doing at the Number One Manor in the World?"
"I don't know. It seems he's going to have a showdown with Gu Qianbei."
"No way? Gu Qianbei is just a winemaker, how dare he fight Ximen Chuixue?"
"It would be more like Ximen Chuixue challenging Jian Jingfeng."
"Hehe, you don't understand, do you? Gu Qianbei is not only a winemaker, his swordsmanship is also not simple."
A few days ago, Jian Jingfeng even challenged Gu Qianbei to a match.
As a result, Jian Jingfeng was defeated in just a couple of moves.
A year ago, Gu Qianbei was far inferior to Jian Jingfeng.
After losing, Jian Jingfeng sighed, "The younger generation surpasses the older."
"There's more to this? How come I didn't know?"
"That's because you're too out of touch with the world."
The crowd discussed the matter animatedly, each finding a good spot to watch the battle, among them Jian Jingfeng.
"Gu Qianbei's swordsmanship is unfathomable, while Ximen Chuixue is the sword god of this generation. I really look forward to their sword duel."
Jian Jingfeng stroked his beard, sighing deeply.
Just as that person said, he had indeed recently challenged Gu Qianbei to a duel.
The battle a year ago made him feel that Gu Qianbei had great potential, and he wanted to see how much Gu Qianbei had improved in the past year.
He was quite surprised.
Gu Qianbei at this moment is completely different from the one a year ago.
Jian Jingfeng was still a little dazed after losing.
He could only marvel at how quickly this young man was progressing.
On the training ground, Gu Qianbei and Ximen Chuixue were already in position when Haitang ran over from not far away.
"Are you two going to have a contest at my Number One Manor?"
Haitang exclaimed in surprise.
"Indeed. Ximen Chuixue is only carrying the spirit of battle, so I naturally cannot let him leave disappointed."
Moreover, I am also very interested in his swordsmanship.
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"Brother Gu, Ximen Chuixue's sword is not so easy to deal with; it will either kill or injure you."
Haitang said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Master, I know what I'm doing. You should step aside and observe the battle."
Seeing Gu Qianbei say this, Haitang didn't know what to say and immediately moved aside.
On the training ground, Ximen Chuixue finally drew his longsword.
"The sword is named Wuchao (Black Sheath), its blade is three feet and seven inches long, and its net weight is seven catties and thirteen taels."
Gu Qianbei took out the Tingbei sword, which only had a hilt and no blade.
Such a peculiar design instantly made Ximen Chuixue frown slightly, revealing a look of doubt.
"The sword is named 'Stop the Cup,' and it was crafted by the master craftsman Zhu Ting using my design drawings."
It can concentrate the sharpness of internal energy into a sword, and the blade can change according to my will, adapting to my various sword techniques.
After Gu Qianbei finished speaking, he poured his inner energy into the cup, and the golden sword instantly condensed.
"The sword's edge is no less than any divine weapon; you'd better be careful."
Upon seeing this, Ximen Chuixue's pupils contracted.
"This is truly a special sword. With such a sharp edge, I wonder what kind of sword techniques it can be used to execute."
You'll find out soon enough.
"I'm really looking forward to it."
As soon as they finished speaking, their auras rose simultaneously.
Late-stage Grandmaster!
Both were at the late stage of Grandmaster level and both practiced swordsmanship, so for a moment their auras were almost equal.
Ximen Chuixue only cultivates the way of the sword, so his sword intent is more refined.
However, Gu Qianbei's internal strength cultivation was superior, making up for this deficiency.
"Eclipse Sword Technique!"
Gu Qianbei made the first move, using the Eclipse Sword Technique, and the sword instantly turned crimson.
A surge of scorching sword energy swept out.
Ximen Chuixue's eyes lit up, and he immediately swung his black-sheathed sword to defend himself.
With a single slash, the white sword energy instantly severed the incoming crimson sword light.
And this is just the beginning.
"Fire Scales Eclipse the Sun!"
Gu Qianbei let out a low shout, and the crimson sword body suddenly shone brightly. The crimson sword light condensed into a fire unicorn that pounced directly at Ximen Chuixue.
The ferocious aura instantly spread, terrifying the onlookers.
"This is Gu Qianbei's Eclipse Sword Technique! He used it a year ago when he competed with Jian Jingfeng."
But its power back then was nothing compared to what it is now.
What a terrifying aura! They actually managed to materialize their sword energy!
Unbelievable!
The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Judging from his words, you can tell he's an old man from the number one village in the world, and he even witnessed the duel a year ago.
The one who left the deepest impression was Jian Jingfeng.
"Is this the strongest strike of the Eclipse Sword Technique? Its power is truly terrifying."
If I were to face this sword now, I fear I would be defeated in an instant.
I wonder how Ximen Chuixue will handle this.
Jian Jingfeng was both expectant and curious.
The next moment, Ximen Chuixue moved.
He didn't make any fancy moves; he simply made a light, sweeping slash with his sword.
In an instant, a white streak of light poured out from the sword, heading straight for the sword-qi fire unicorn!
