Chapter One Fainted

  What I was most worried about still happened, and I got caught red-handed. Originally, Xiao Zhan thought that the girl would have to put on her clothes before chasing after him, so even if she was fast, it would at least take some time. He didn't expect the girl's speed to be so fast, and in the blink of an eye, she had already caught up with him.

  "Miss, I'm afraid there's been some misunderstanding."

  Xiao Zhan tried hard to squeeze out a smile, not wanting the atmosphere to become too oppressive. But when his gaze fell on the girl blocking his way, his heart skipped a beat, his eyes stared straight ahead, and he unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

  At this moment, the girl's wet hair was dancing lightly in the wind, and a white bath towel was tightly wrapped around her provocative body. She stood proudly in front of Xiao Zhan, about five or six meters away, with her bare feet exposed. Her pink arms, most of her beautiful legs, and her deep cleavage were all on full display for Xiao Zhan to see. What's more tempting is that, due to the haste of the chase, the girl hadn't had time to wipe her body, so the bath towel wrapped around her was soaked, clinging tightly to her skin, making her look even more seductive and provocative.

  Seeing the girl's outfit, Xiao Zhan's eyes seemed to reappear her infinite charm when she was skinny dipping, so vivid and clear. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, this beautiful scene was copied down, and as long as he wanted, Xiao Zhan could replay it at any time, which was more thrilling than watching a high-definition movie, just like live broadcasting without any difference.

  At this moment, Xiao Zhan's mind was repeatedly playing the scene of a girl standing proudly on the bluestone, jumping into the air, splashing water, and limitless spring light. Unconsciously, his mouth curled up in a smile, and his eyes sparkled with fire.

  When she saw Xiao Zhan's smile, the girl felt naked all over, with no cover at all. The anger in her heart was suddenly unstoppable. A blue light flashed, and a treasure sword appeared in her hand. With a "clang" sound, she drew the sword out of its scabbard, rapidly turning her true yuan, taking a big stride forward, stabbing the sword towards Xiao Zhan's throat, while shouting: "You're mistaken! Pervert, look at my sword!"

  The girl's sword moves were gorgeous, her posture was beautiful, and the shining sword light made her look like a beauty dancing with swords. The leaves fell on the small path, the sword intent was stern and murderous, and the distance of five or six meters passed in the blink of an eye.

  But the girl's jade face was icy cold, her phoenix eyes flashing with murderous intent. The true yuan of the Nirvana realm condensed on the sword body, and the sharp sword energy was contained without being revealed. The afternoon sun shone down on the sword body, and the dazzling sword light was dazzling to the eye.

  "Overturning City Sword Technique!"

  Xiao Zhan exclaimed in a low voice, almost subconsciously retreating half a step, while the long sword in his hand moved with his heart, and another move "Qingcheng Sword" was made. Unlike the girl's dazzling dance, his sword moves were so elegant and ethereal, like an immortal god. That feeling made Xiao Zhan feel a moment of daze, as if he had returned to the time when the War God possessed him.

  Long swords clashed, sparks flew, the force of over 20,000 collisions burst out in an instant, sword energy exploded and danced. The two retreated hastily after a brief touch, Xiao Zhan took advantage of the recoil to quickly retreat, and the distance between them suddenly opened up to nearly ten meters.

  Xiao Zhan was somewhat astonished, never expecting that the girl had actually cultivated "Qing Cheng Jian Quan", and her attainments were quite deep.

  This set of sword moves is an ancient sword move, with a total of nine levels, each level has one thousand moves, extremely difficult to practice. It's the sacred book of sword dance, known as "Overturning City Sword Move, Sword Dance Overturns the City". But don't think it's just beautiful and not practical, this set of sword moves is beautifully unique, when practiced to the extreme, there's no flaw, known as one dance overturns the city, one sword overturns the city.

  According to the information obtained when the God of War was possessed, this set of sword moves was created by the wife of the God of War, Wu Zhi, and has not been passed down. Just as Xiao Zhan thought of speaking, the girl launched another attack with her sword. At this moment, she was light and agile, like a dancer, her sword moves were beautiful and elegant, and when combined with her outfit, it was truly sexy and charming to the extreme.

  Within a distance of nearly ten meters, in the blink of an eye, only a dazzling sword light burst forth like flowers blooming. When it reached its peak, a killing intent suddenly appeared, and a flash of snowy white sword light shot straight at Xiao Zhan's face.

  At the sight of this sword, Xiao Zhan suddenly let out a sigh.

  Although surrounded by the sword's aura, Xiao Zhan felt that the girl was dancing with her sword for him alone. The only pity was that she couldn't conceal her killing intent, ruining the perfection of this move.

  "Hiss!"

  At a glance, the girl's sword move, Xiao Zhan's long sword in his hand moved with his heart, and made the same move to attack the strongest point of the sword.

  "Ding!"

  The sword tips clashed, and Xiao Zhan, who had obtained the true transmission of the War God, gained the upper hand. With one sword strike, he sent the girl into a miserable retreat.

  The young girl felt extremely shocked, this scoundrel not only knew the "Devil's Sword Technique", but was even more perfect at it than she was!

  How is it possible?

  This result made the girl both shocked and angry, gritting her teeth, she abandoned her ultimate move and attacked again with her sword.

  "Hmm...Hmm...Hmm..."

  The girl's sword was swift and fierce, attacking Xiao Zhan with a flurry of movements that were hard to track. The trajectory of her sword was elusive, weaving a net of sharp sword energy that seemed to pierce through the air like a swarm of biting insects, forcing Xiao Zhan onto the defensive for a time.

  Xiao Zhan had already reached the state of Wu Jian, where in theory any sword move could be broken with just one sword. However, reality was not that simple. His Wu Jian state was achieved under the "War God Consciousness" state, and after exiting that state, although his sword heart remained, he could see through any move at a glance, sometimes instantly coming up with thousands of moves to break it, but his body couldn't keep up with his consciousness, often making it difficult for him to grasp the timing of drawing his sword, leaving him in a sorry state.

  Xiao Zhan didn't find this situation unexpected, after all, he hadn't truly practiced 90% of the sword moves. The reason he was able to defeat the girl with one sword earlier was entirely due to the "Qing Cheng Sword Manual". Now that he could barely withstand the girl's attack, he was already extremely fortunate.

  After dozens of swords had passed, Xiao Zhan's situation gradually improved. When he drew his sword, he was already elegant and refined, with no signs of awkwardness. By the time a hundred swords had passed, he was defending with ease, even having the leisure to appreciate the girl's swordsmanship. Although the effect was remarkable, Xiao Zhan did not counterattack, but instead took this opportunity to hone his skills. After all, he had been at fault initially, and defeating the girl again would have made him feel very embarrassed.

  In order to achieve a tempered effect, Xiao Zhan used his defensive sword path "Solid as Golden Broth".

  This set of sword techniques has a total of eight levels, each level having forty-nine techniques. Only when the techniques are refined and unified can it be considered that one level is fully mastered.

  Although the name is a bit common, this sword technique is indeed solid as gold. The 49 defensive sword techniques were used one by one, and they defended tightly without any gaps. No matter how cunning or sharp the girl's sword technique was, it was difficult to break through Xiao Zhan's sword net.

  Xiao Zhan's mind was surging with sword moves, countless sword techniques moving in tandem with his heart. Unbeknownst to him, he had entered a wondrous realm where the sword techniques in his mind gradually blurred and were no longer confined to the 49 sets of sword techniques. His sword moves suddenly became seemingly yet not quite so.

  Previously, when he drew his sword, the moves to break through would first appear in his mind, and then he would make his move. But now, things had changed. The moves to break through no longer appeared in his mind, yet the sword in his hand would shatter the girl's sword moves as soon as they were made. It didn't feel like he was controlling the sword in his hand or his own body; it felt more like a surge of energy from within his heart.

  Yes, it's impulsive.

  When the girl drew her sword, this momentum allowed Xiao Zhan to draw his sword and break through without thinking.

  Where does this momentum come from?

  It is the sword heart from the heart that belongs to the offensive and defensive sword path.

  Unify all into one, unify one into all, shatter all tangible forms in the world. This is the realm of the sword. However, to reach this realm, one must forget. Only by forgetting all forms and not limiting oneself to them, can one break free from their constraints, just like having a sword in one's heart, where everything in the world can be a sword. As long as the sword exists in the heart, there is no need for forms; with the sword, every move is a sword form.

  Xiao Zhan's changes were first sensed by the girl, from the initial wolf-like appearance to the elegant and carefree after a hundred swords had passed, and now to the point where there was no trace to be found, as if inviting but not inviting, one sword broke through all her changes. The girl felt shocked again, this wicked swordsmanship actually reached the realm of "no move wins over having moves" in such a short period of time!

  How is this possible?

  No style is not really without a style, but rather refers to breaking free from the constraints of style, making it unpredictable and elusive.

  Seeing Xiao Zhan's carefree appearance, it was unclear whether it was out of anger or jealousy. The flames of rage in the girl's heart blazed fiercely. Her sword moves changed abruptly, and for an instant, the sword light flashed dazzlingly, its beauty stunning. The mighty sword energy exploded furiously. At this moment, the girl couldn't care about anything else and once again used her family's ultimate technique, "Qingcheng Sword Manual".

  "One Sword to Conquer the City!"

  The girl Nie Jing's cultivation was fully open, and the magnificent sword light brought countless changes, cutting towards Xiao Zhan with an unstoppable momentum.

  Facing this sword, Xiao Zhan's heart was devoid of sorrow or joy. In an instant, the "Proud Dragon Heart Technique" was activated, and the star energy and true yuan in his acupoints and meridians transformed into a golden hue. The defensive sword intent radiated from his brain domain, illuminating everything within a radius of ten thousand meters. His body and sword moved in tandem with the sword intent, as he suddenly unleashed a defensive sword technique.

  "As firm as gold!"

  One sword came out, and it was as solid as gold soup. The girl's eyes were spitting fire with anger. In her eyes, Xiao Zhan's cultivation was clearly not at the Nirvana level, but this sword move's power was not inferior to hers in any way, just like a turtle shell. Especially seeing his face full of determination made her feel like she was going crazy, and for a moment, she kept launching her ultimate moves, wanting to kill Xiao Zhan under her sword.

  Xiao Zhan was quite pleased with himself. This "Qing Cheng Jian Jue" was indeed formidable, but he had already obtained the true transmission of the War God, and could be said to know its roots and depths. No matter how the young girl wielded it, he responded with ease, defending as solidly as a golden soup. Unconsciously, he smiled and said: "Miss, this is a huge misunderstanding! I absolutely did not peek at you while you were bathing."

  The girl angrily said: "You lecher, stop your sophistry!"

  Xiao Zhan loudly protested his innocence, "I've been practicing swordplay in the valley for a month and never left. I was just meditating and didn't expect to step on a withered branch when I stood up. It wasn't until Miss shouted that I realized someone was bathing in the hidden pool. Honestly, I absolutely did not peek!"

  The young girl with a long sword in her hand attacked fiercely, saying angrily: "You didn't peek? Then why did you run away? You're just guilty of being a thief! Anyway, today this lady will definitely kill you, the lecherous thief, with her sword and rid the people of your evil!"

  Xiao Zhan's face flushed with anger, and he said indignantly: "I didn't steal a glance at you, that was an open and honest look! Moreover, it was you who wanted to take off your clothes yourself, I wouldn't have looked even if I had wanted to."

  "You!"

  The girl was so angry that she was fuming with rage, and completely lost control. All that could be heard was her sternly shouting: "You lecher! I'm going to kill you!"
