Chapter 588: Chapter 335: His Sword Presses All Sects, This Child Is Not Human! Sweet Words, Cai Shang’s Joy

Xiao Wanjian was furious, his wrist turning as he switched from a vertical strike to a horizontal one, breaking free of Li Xian’s fingers and sweeping across toward his chest. Li Xian bent backwards, easily dodging. Just as Xiao Wanjian was about to pursue and attack, aiming to take down Li Xian, he suddenly sensed a cold flash and felt a chill throughout his body. He saw Li Xian’s sleeve releasing a silver snake, making a strange sound, like a snake flicking its tongue, precisely and fiercely targeting his throat.

Startled, Xiao Wanjian exclaimed, but fortunately, his experience in the Sword Dao was profound and well-honed; although his attacks seemed fierce and brutal, he always left some room for maneuver. Despite underestimating Li Xian, he never committed the grave mistake of underestimating an opponent, immediately repositioning his sword to precisely protect his throat.

There was a sound of "zing", as sparks flew, the sound was piercing, Xiao Wanjian’s arm quivered violently, and he almost lost his grip on his longsword. He retreated several steps, barely managing to hold off with one hand, he immediately used both hands, veins bulging from his arms, sweat streaming down his forehead, barely protecting himself. Li Xian stood proudly with the silver spear, majestic yet relaxed.

Xiao Wanjian, thin and bearded, shouted once more, turning his neck and twisting his sword to avoid the spear tip, his longsword sliding along the spear’s body towards the hand in a chopping motion. His moves now showed fierceness, each seeking a quick kill. In contrast, Li Xian remained calm, shaking his spear, with the Ghost Python Spear once rigid and solid, now becoming flexible and unpredictable, its shaft undulating like a snake.

Xiao Wanjian was following along the spear shaft, but as it transformed from straight to curved. His Sword Momentum was blocked, his sword striking against the spear shaft. This unexpected situation caught him off guard. As he tried to retract his sword, he saw the Ghost Python Spear reverse, coiling up his longsword and over his right wrist and arm.

Li Xian shook his body. The Ghost Python Spear was extremely unpredictable, its shaft coiling like a snake, the spearhead climbing up his arm, aiming directly at his heart. Such a tricky and sinister angle made defense extremely difficult!

All the disciples gasped in shock, never expecting that the esteemed Elder Xiao would find himself at a disadvantage after a single exchange, instead falling into a dangerous predicament. Xiao Wanjian grasped the spearhead with his left hand, unable to compete in strength, gritting his teeth as he stomped his feet, spinning in the air. Even with the bell’s ominous influence, which hindered his Martial Arts evolution and Inner Qi, his mastery in Lightweight Skill allowed him to spin mid-air, prying the spear shaft open with both hands. Using all his strength, he barely disentangled from the Ghost Python Spear’s entrapment, but his right hand was dislocated, bones cracking, and his longsword clattered to the ground with a "clang". In his heart, he lamented, "I was too careless! In front of my disciples, my weapon was taken by a younger one!" Immediately retreating several steps, he took deep breaths, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Immediately, "Liang Gang" and "Xu Hu," two elders from the Yangshan Sword Sect supported him. Seeing Xiao Wanjian’s back drenched in sweat, right arm hanging low, his body trembling, the danger of the encounter far exceeding expectations. Meanwhile, observing Li Xian, in just a few moves, he had disarmed Elder Xiao, taking his longsword.

Li Xian’s spear quivered, the Ghost Python Spear taut and straight, emitting a sharp ringing, radiating cold gleams. He flicked up Xiao Wanjian’s sword with his toes, toying with it. The sword, inlaid with red jade, was a "legendary weapon," a symbol of status within the sect. Yet, it was merely sharp without any other effect.

Testing his beginner skills, Li Xian stabbed the sword behind him. With a "zing" sound, the blade penetrated three inches into the corridor. Wen Caishang, who greatly admired Li Xian for protecting her and displaying such flair, watched with delight and her heart filled with joy. The music played cheerfully.

A senior disciple of the Yangshan Sword Sect, "Jiang Meng," possessing a unique sword heart, once narrowly detected Li Xian when they passed by each other before. Seeing Elder Xiao’s defeat, he figured the mysterious bell sound greatly restricted Elder Xiao, allowing Li Xian to act unrestrainedly. Being in his prime, he felt obligated to regain honor, angrily shouting, "Impudent child! How dare you be arrogant, face my sword!" he charged straight into the White Jade Corridor with his sword.

Xiao Wanjian, barely recovering, hurriedly shouted, "Danger, come back!" But Jiang Meng, confident in his peak Swordsmanship and aided by the sword heart, was not afraid of Li Xian. Ignoring the warning, he executed a sword move, his attack swift and ferocious. The Yangshan Sword Sect, located in the Yanglong Mountain Range, was known for its lack of beautiful lakes or towering mountains, but for its dense and rugged formations. Thus, the sect’s Martial Arts were distinguished by their speed and ferocity.

Yet, at the first exchange, Jiang Meng realized something profound. The moment his sword made contact with the Ghost Python Spear, the spear looked gentle and agile, but as it moved, it contained incredible, unstoppable force.

Jiang Meng might have reached the peak of Martial Arts, but amidst thousands of moves, under this enormous pressure, all his prowess was eclipsed. Moreover, Li Xian was proficient in both spear and sword, mastering many Martial Arts like the Four Directions Fist, Clear Wind Leg, Jade Palm, Daluo Saber Technique, and Flying Snake Beast, all reaching the Peak!

Combining these skills, he adapted swiftly. His Spear Momentum’s versatility far surpassed that of Jiang Meng. Additionally...just after rescuing the disciples of the Five Sects, having navigated through hurdles. Li Xian had observed the women’s combat, conversations, and sparring in secret, already understanding the common Martial Arts principles, combat methods, and strengths and weaknesses of the Sword Techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Jiang Meng’s initial strike left his hand weak and body trembling, struggling to deliver a second strike, with defeat hard to reverse, his Sword Techniques dispersed and chaotic. Despite his deep mastery, it hampered him. Li Xian swept his spear horizontally, striking Jiang Meng’s chest with a "thud," sending him flying several feet. Jiang Meng fell to the ground, rolling and spitting three mouthfuls of black blood, unable to stand again. Remembering his vow, Li Xian only wounded but did not kill.

Xiao Wanjian said in a deep voice, "Impulsive! This youngster is not as simple as he seems!" Though Li Xian was merely at the age of maturity, facing multiple sects, he remained calm and composed. With just one move, he stunned everyone, none daring to act rashly further.

Hu Yueyue said somberly, "Well, I refuse to believe this mere youngster can truly block our Five Sects. Let me try!" She leaped onto the White Jade Corridor, carefully observing, not daring to be careless.
