Chapter 146: Chapter 139 Sword Immortal_2

Shen Ning nodded forcefully, her eyes also revealing intense determination. “I’ve mastered the Weak Water Sword and thought I was quite good. I didn’t expect there to be so many geniuses in this world. Well then, let me see just how strong he is.”

Although Hai Yunfei and Hai Yunxi were defeated in succession, it didn’t affect Shen Ning; instead, it spurred her fighting spirit.

Weak Water is extremely soft, as light as a feather.

The Weak Water Sword takes on the Supreme Soft Sword Intent, with sword moves flowing like water, hiding endless killing intent amidst the calmness.

Shen Ning was only able to unleash the Weak Water Power on her sword after reaching Level 7 with the Weak Water Sword Technique and completing a mutation in her Genetic Sequence.

It’s important to know that true sword duels at low tiers are about speed and accuracy. Once reaching the Bronze Tier, Source Power can be applied to the sword edge, taking swordsmanship to another realm.

Normally, the Weak Water Sword can restrain all kinds of Quick Swords.

After all, Gao Xuan’s Quick Sword wasn’t so fast that she couldn’t parry it.

When Shen Ning, clad in black armor, took the stage, the noise from the audience fell silent.

Most people thought the battle was over since even the main general Hai Yunxi was defeated.

“Shen Ning?”

Jiang Xuejun had also heard that Shen Ning was formidable, but she didn’t know exactly how. Shen Ning had very few public appearances on record.

“This girl’s swordsmanship is really impressive.”

Qingyi Fei Niao was much keener than Jiang Xuejun. Just by watching Shen Ning’s steps and aura, she knew that her swordsmanship surpassed Hai Yunxi by far.

Jiang Xuejun casually asked, “Do you think Gao Xuan can win?”

“Of course, Gao Monarch will win.”

Qingyi Fei Niao glanced around, and among the tens of thousands in the hall, no one could compare to Gao Xuan.

In fact, Qingyi Fei Niao always felt that Gao Xuan was exceptionally strong, unmatched in swordsmanship. Only the mysterious Blood Shadow could rival him in terms of sword skills.

In a normal sword match, no one would be a match for Gao Xuan.

Qingyi Fei Niao was deeply convinced, and this was her instinctive judgement in the Sword Dao, which had never been wrong.

While Qingyi Fei Niao was thinking, she unintentionally glanced at a man standing in the aisle.

This man was tall with a head of fiery red hair, and his appearance was quite intimidating.

When Qingyi Fei Niao saw this man, her heart tightened, thinking that this person was fierce, with an impressive Source Power aura.

However, what was more peculiar was the Little White Pig he was holding in his arms.

Qingyi Fei Niao took just one look and instinctively sensed that the Little White Pig was incredibly dangerous. That level of danger almost rivaled the Blood Shadow.

Her heart skipped a beat. How did such a formidable figure arrive in Mingjing City?

Having grown up in Mingjing City, she had never realized there was such a powerful and dangerous force there.

Since the appearance of Blood Shadow, Mingjing City had become increasingly perilous.

Qingyi Fei Niao quickly withdrew her gaze, not daring to look any longer. If the man noticed something amiss, she’d be in danger.

The Little White Pig did sense something unusual; its small bean-like eyes darted around but couldn’t identify anything suspicious.

The crowd was too large, and the “intruder” hid quickly, so it couldn’t pinpoint who was observing it.

The Little White Pig didn’t pay it much mind. Its current body was in a very stable state, and even a strong person would at most find its Source Power aura a bit unusual, without noticing anything wrong.

The Little White Pig quickly shifted its focus to the platform, muttering, “This pretty boy has some skill, his swordsmanship is really nice.”

“Red Flame, what do you think?” the Little White Pig asked the red-haired man.

The red-haired man said, “His swordsmanship is good, but his Source Power cultivation is too weak. I could crush him with one hand.”

The Little White Pig snorted, “He’s a member of our organization, and a lover of Deacon Bai. Why would you crush him?”

“I don’t know why, but I just find this kid unpleasant,”

Red Flame didn’t know the reason; he rarely found someone so annoying.

The Little White Pig said, “I think this kid is good, gifted in swordsmanship, and most importantly, he’s good-looking. The master will definitely like him. Perhaps they could even form a pair, hahaha…”

“He’s going to win again,” Red Flame said somewhat disappointedly.

On the platform, Shen Ning didn’t say much to Gao Xuan; after a couple of polite exchanges, she directly drew her sword.

Shen Ning’s Weak Water Sword was less than three feet long, with a blade as thin as paper. With her activation of Source Power, the Weak Water Sword shimmered like a flowing light, flickering back and forth.

She didn’t move, but the sword seemed to come alive.

The audience below was silent. Clearly, Shen Ning was controlling the sword with Source Power, creating such an extraordinary phenomenon. It was evident how advanced her swordsmanship was.

Gao Xuan, however, didn’t hesitate at all and drew his sword to fight.

The snow-colored sword light suddenly shone brightly, piercing deeply into Shen Ning’s eyes in an instant.

Shen Ning’s pupils instinctively contracted; her opponent’s sudden burst of speed was too fast. This thrusting sword had no embellishments, yet every movement was perfectly precise, exploding power and speed to the extreme.

With Shen Ning’s ability, she could only cross her sword to block. Relying on the flowing brilliance of the Weak Water Sword, converting it to soft yet unbroken sword light, she continuously parried Gao Xuan’s Quick Sword.

The Quick Sword in Gao Xuan’s hand fired like a burst of electricity; the sword momentum was swift and fierce. Yet, he himself floated in white clothes like an Immortal controlling the wind, his posture elegant and unrestrained.

The sword and the person, one moving and one still, presented a seemingly contradictory state, leaving an indelible impression on all the spectators.

Although Shen Ning’s Weak Water Sword was exquisite, it was ordinary swordsmanship. Gao Xuan, however, had the demeanor of an otherworldly Sword Immortal.

The Weak Water Sword was skilled in steadfast endurance, using densely intricate swordplay to continuously accumulate an advantageous position until victory.

Although Shen Ning was completely overshadowed by Gao Xuan in sword momentum, grace, and demeanor, she was extremely resilient. The Weak Water Sword was dense and flawless, with softness hiding its edge, weak in momentum but enduring in power.

Even among the many experts watching from below, most believed Shen Ning hadn’t shown signs of defeat yet, and the outcome was still uncertain.

But Gao Xuan, after a series of nine Quick Sword strikes, gathered the momentum of continuous Quick Sword attacks into the tenth strike.

The tenth sword, with the power of accumulating nine strikes, suddenly increased in speed by six times.

The densely entwined sword light of the Weak Water Sword was directly pierced through by this sword, the blade stabbing precisely at Shen Ning’s heart.

The armor blocked the blade, but not the fierce and swift stabbing force of the blade.

Shen Ning retreated ten steps before she stabilized herself. Her face was slightly flushed, and after taking several seconds to catch her breath, she grudgingly sighed lightly and said to Gao Xuan, “I lost.”

Before Gao Xuan could respond, the audience erupted with cheers.

The faces of the contingent from Haijing University looked grim.

Even the always gentle Fang Yumei had a serious expression as she looked at Gao Xuan on the platform, her eyes exceptionally heavy.

She suddenly said to Teacher Jiang, “Congratulations. With a genius like Gao Xuan, the East Continent champion is as good as in the bag.”

Teacher Jiang hurriedly replied with modesty, “Gao Xuan still has many shortcomings and a long way to go.”

“Teacher Jiang is really too modest.”

Fang Yumei said earnestly, “I thought Feijing University’s Xin Wuyou was an unparalleled genius, and that she would become the strongest swordsman in the East Continent in the coming years. Who would have thought… there would be a genius like Gao Xuan!”

She sighed lightly, “Suddenly so many geniuses emerge, the wind rises, heroes compete. Is the world about to change?”
