Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 89: Testing the Sword

Deep in the valley, since Su Mo had met Liu Suifeng, how could there be any reason not to deliver the escort?

The sword borrower nodded slightly, but did not speak of borrowing the sword.

With just a tip-toe, he was already atop the roof of the Xuanji Hut.

Sitting with arms wrapped around his knees, he silently watched the distant battle between the leader of the Xuehai Department and Liu Suifeng.

A third emotion emerged on his face, beyond weariness and fury... bewilderment.

"Just a bit more... still lacking a bit...

"Is this considered a good sword?

"What exactly is a good sword?"

His eyes were hazy, and a faint voice spilled from the corners of his mouth.

Wei Ziyi looked up at the sword borrower and said in a low voice to Su Mo, "Is he really here for you?"

"He came for the sword."

Su Mo gently patted the case behind him and casually unlocked it.

The lid opened, revealing the Dragon Roar Sword within.

Taking out the Dragon Roar, Su Mo turned to the two people beside him:

"Sister Xiao Yun, Miss Wei, dare I ask you two to observe the battle?"

Yang Xiaoyun let out a sound: "Is there confidence?"

Su Mo nodded slightly.

"Alright then."

Yang Xiaoyun said no more, simply stepping back to hold the Dragon Abyss Spear, covering for Su Mo’s observation of the enemy.

Wei Ziyi looked deeply at Su Mo: "Su, the Chief of the Escort, remember to be careful."

"Of course."

Wei Ziyi laughed heartily and turned away, leaving space outside the Xuanji Hut and gazing into the distance.

Master Cang Ming and the other two first diverted their attention from the sword borrower, then the Fenxue Order Master lightly shook his head:

"Younger generations, relying on their considerable skills, think they can gallop across Jianghu. Yet they do not realize, beyond the skies there are skies, and beyond men there are men. Such arrogance, if heaven does not take you, Youquan will!"

Master Ningxue looked at the Dragon Roar Sword in Su Mo’s hand, stunned: "Hmm, if this sword is the reward, will the Sect Hierarch help me by killing Lord and then promote me as the new Lord?"

Only Master Cang Ming frowned tightly: "Do not underestimate him, this young man is no ordinary person."

"... I think you’re skittish like a frightened bird. Last night, you brought that thing back, and Lord was so pleased he fully restored your cultivation of the Blood Transformation Divine Skill. The three of us together, how could we lose to a youngster?"

The Xuehai Leader had cultivated the Xuehai Repairing the Heaven manual, derived from the Youquan Scripture.

The martial arts of Blood Transformation, Blood Condensation, and Fenxue, practiced by the three orders, were also derived from the Xuehai Repairing the Heaven manual.

Thus, the three of them inherited the same martial arts lineage, forming a unified force. Facing the combined efforts of the trio, they did not hesitate to confront the Xuehai Leader directly.

Su Mo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

What had Master Cang Ming brought back?

Had he stayed at Yuliu Manor for more than just guarding that place?

Were there other plots afoot?

Recalling the words Master Cang Ming had said when he invited him to join the Youquan Sect, and thinking of the figure he had seen at the entrance today, something flickered through Su Mo’s heart.

However, now was not the time to think it over.

He stretched out a hand and held the hilt of the sword: "I rather think that you should listen more to Master Cang Ming’s words and not be careless!

"In recent days, I have learned a new sword technique. However, this technique can only truly be comprehended through actual combat.

"Your leader of the Xuehai Department was supposed to be the ideal test, but unfortunately, Master Liu has already engaged him, and I did not know where he was to find him, and we needed to prepare time for setting up outside the valley. That’s why there was the earlier scene inside the Xuanji Hut.

"Luckily, I now have the company of three seniors.

"Here, I ask for nothing else but for the three seniors to give their all against my sword, so that I may fully execute my Fifteen Swords!"

Buzz!

As the buzzing sound resonated, the Dragon Roar was unsheathed.

Su Mo held the sword with one hand, appearing somewhat unskilled.

It is said that an outsider watches the excitement, an insider watches the technique.

Just from his posture as he started with the sword, it was clear that his swordsmanship was that of a novice.

The Fenxue Order Master sneered: "Is holding a sword intended to intimidate? Youngster, try to stab me with your sword, and see if I..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Mo truly complied obediently.

The longsword swirled through the air, already before his face.

The piercing cold was rare in this world!

He immediately sidestepped, flicked his finger lightly, and with a buzzing sound, a flash of blood appeared; the Fenxue Order Master’s hand now bore a slash of a sword wound.

"Preposterous!"

Fenxue Order Master flew into a rage, Su Mo’s initial movements seemed very novice, yet his attack was instantly crafty and old-fashioned, his sword technique even more bizarrely strange. With the sword’s tip, the killing intent was so sharp, it even seemed a bit fiercer than his own.

Caught off guard, he actually sustained an injury.

However, the inner strength of the Fenming Technique had already entered the sword, thinking he could find a gap to attack Su Mo’s body.

But to his surprise, Su Mo only needed to shake his longsword lightly, and with a surge of Longxiang Wisdom, the inner strength of the Fenming Technique dissipated like smoke.

Taking another step, the next sword thrust came to the fore.

He wanted to resist, but he had already lost the initiative, and this time, a finger flew off.

"This can’t be possible..."

The previous attack filled him with rage, but now, he felt a tinge of panic.

His initial move was awkward, yet the first sword revealed a hidden edge.

And the killing aura of the second sword was even more superior.

This sword technique... seemed to exist solely to kill!

The Fenxue Order Master immediately leaped back, first stopping the bleeding of his severed digit, and uttered in a sharp tone:

"Indeed not easy to deal with, Blood Transformation, do you know the origins of his sword technique? Why is it so wicked?"

"...I know nothing!"

Master Cang Ming’s head was buzzing, inside Yuliu Manor, Su Mo was clearly using fists.

So why suddenly switch to the sword now?

And such a fierce and ruthless sword technique at that?

Wasn’t the item on his back meant to be delivered to Liu Suifeng as an escort item?

But there was no time for them to delve into the specifics because Su Mo was already advancing with his sword.

This sword technique was each thrust fiercer than the last.

The third sword struck, diagonally slashing off half of Master Cang Ming’s palm.

The fourth sword struck, severing the left hand tendons of the Ningxue Order Master.

The three Commanders’ martial arts skills were all extraordinary, just Master Cang Ming alone was able to establish a great reputation in the Southwest.

The three together could even hold their own against the greatly accomplished Liu Suifeng.

Yet under Su Mo, they seemed like three-year-old children who couldn’t resist as he pointed, prodded, and stabbed with his longsword.

For a moment, shock and rage intertwined in their hearts.

Fortunately, the Three Commanders joined forces to meet the enemy, simultaneously using three demon techniques, unleashing the Divine Skills of the Xuehai Repairing the Heaven manual.

In an instant, the Youquan Sect Disciples within Xuanji Valley who were resisting the attacks of the Righteous Path experts, many met their deaths.

Blood and breath transformed into threads, interlacing and being drawn into the bodies of the three men.

Separately replenishing their wounds.

However, while wounds could heal, severed limbs could not be regrown, only the wounds could be mended, what was lost was truly gone.

Even so, faced with Su Mo’s increasingly fierce sword moves, the three had no confidence,

Su Mo’s sword technique, each strike harsher than the last.

Each move aimed to take life, each form intent on stealing souls.

What was even scarier was that with each move he performed, his sword technique would become a bit more exquisite; in just a moment’s time, he seemed to have achieved mastery as if the knowledge now resided within his heart.

Wei Ziyi, who hailed from Lengyue Palace, was a great swordswoman herself.

At this moment, her face looked pale with shock: "What sword technique is this?"

Yang Xiaoyun then thought of the Heaven and Earth Great Secret Su Mo had mentioned before and had a thought. However, she said:

"Xiao Mo’s fate is peculiar, having been taught the sword by strange people, he surely has unique aspects."

This was how she explained the origin of the sword technique, ambiguously and mentioning ’strange people’ to cover their tracks, keeping from delving too deeply.

But at the moment Wei Ziyi was not concerned about these details, her gaze focused intently: "Is he... holding back?"

With her discernment, she could see that although the Three Commanders were highly skilled, if Su Mo really wanted to kill the three of them, by now they would have been three corpses.

For a while, she couldn’t understand why Su Mo was consistently showing mercy.

"The sword... not yet at its extreme, there is still room... with every strike, the leeway decreases a bit, if it were used to the extreme..."

The sword borrower didn’t know when, but had stopped watching the struggle between Liu Suifeng and the Xuehai Leader, and had flown down from the rooftop, standing not far from Wei Ziyi, eyes unblinkingly watching the battling parties.

Wei Ziyi subconsciously looked at the sword borrower.

If it were used to the extreme, what would happen?

"...Immeasurable, bone-chilling."

The sword borrower’s hands were trembling slightly, his gaze even more cautious.
