Chapter 5242
He himself was skilled in using swords, and the Dragon-Slaying Sword was a divine weapon. Naturally, he was curious about such a city of sword cultivators.
“Let’s go in and take a look.” Kai suggested.
Nan Batian looked at the towering walls of Jian Sheng City, frowned slightly, and shook his head: “I won’t go in. I’ll wait for you outside the city?”
“Hmm?” Kai paused and turned to look at him, “Why? Is there something wrong with this Sword Saint City?”
Nan Batian’s eyes flickered, avoiding Kai’s gaze, and he said vaguely: “Nothing, it’s just… I’m not used to the rules in the city. You can go in and get the news, it’s safer for me to meet you outside the city.”
The aura around him seemed a little tense, and it was obviously not just because he was not used to the rules.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Kai did not ask any further questions.
After being together for such a long time, he knew that although Nan Batian looked rough, he was actually meticulous. Since he chose to stay outside the city, he must have his reasons.
Perhaps there was some dispute in the past in Sword Saint City, or perhaps there was someone in this city he didn’t want to see.
“Okay.”
Kai nodded and said, “We’ll get out as soon as possible. Be careful outside the city.”
“rest assured.”
Nan Batian grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, “Even if an eighth-grade Earthly Immortal comes, I can’t beat him, so I won’t run away.”
Kai said no more and walked towards the city gate with Hu Mazi.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Hu Mazi was attracted by the scene on the city wall.
I saw a figure standing on each arrow tower on both sides of the city gate.
On the left is a swordsman in green with a stern face, a long sword on his back, and his eyes slightly closed, as if he was in meditation.
On the right is a woman in white with a slim figure, a long sword in her hand pointing diagonally at the ground, and a ethereal look in her eyes, like a fairy who is not of this world.
The two of them stood facing each other from a distance, motionless, like two sculptures.
“What are these two doing? Standing here as punishment?”
Hu Mazi scratched his head and muttered, “The posture is quite standard, but it’s motionless. Aren’t you tired?”
Kai narrowed his eyes and looked between the two of them.
He could feel an invisible edge interweaving and colliding between the two of them.
The blue-shirted swordsman was surrounded by a domineering and fierce sword intent, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, ready to cut off everything in the world;
The sword intent of the woman in white is as gentle as water, yet extremely flexible. It seems gentle, but it can dissolve all attacks.
“They are fighting with swords.” Kai said slowly.
“Fencing?” Hu Mazi was even more confused. “I didn’t see them fighting?”
“This is a competition of sword intent.”
Kai explained, “It’s a competition of understanding the way of the sword and control of strength, which is more dangerous than fighting with real swords and guns.
Once one party’s sword intent is broken, at best their Dao heart will be damaged, at worst their cultivation will be completely wasted.”
Hu Mazi suddenly realized what was going on and exclaimed, “Wow, they can duel without fighting? The people in Sword Saint City are really different.”
Kai no longer paid attention to the two of them and was about to take Hu Mazi into the city when a shrill roar of an animal was suddenly heard.
“Get out of the way! Get out of my way!”
I saw a young man in brocade clothes, riding a beast that looked like a lion but had three eyes, rushing towards the city gate.
The beast was huge, and its four hooves stomped the ground, splashing clouds of dust. It was moving very fast. Pedestrians on the road screamed and dodged for fear of being hit.
Seeing that the beast was about to rush towards Kai, Hu Mazi subconsciously wanted to pull Kai away, but Kai held his hand.
Kai stood where he was, his face calm. He neither dodged nor retreated. He just quietly watched the beast and the man in brocade clothes rushing towards him.
“court death!”
Seeing Kai dare to block his way, the man in brocade clothes had a flash of anger in his eyes. Instead of slowing down, he patted the beast’s head and said, “Hit him!”
The beast seemed to understand the command. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and rushed towards Kai.
