Chapter One Fainted

  Zhan Ying drew her sword and stepped into the arena, glaring at Xiao Zhan ten meters away, viciously saying: "Scoundrel! Today, I will definitely cut you down with my sword!"

  Xiao Zhan smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "A duel is not just about talking, it requires real skills and actual abilities."

  With a loud hum, Zhan Yun gritted her teeth and said: "You villain, don't be so smug! Yesterday, I was unable to let go of my hands and feet, which is why you were able to narrowly escape. But today, you won't have such good fortune again. I absolutely will not repeat the same mistake, I must chop your body into ten thousand pieces!"

  "What's with not being able to let go? You were quite open yesterday. One dance shook the city, one sword shook the city, your clothes fluttering, it was extreme! I, this young master, was immediately overturned by your extraordinary bearing, only lacking a nosebleed."

  Upon hearing this, Zhan Yun's face turned red with shame and anger, her eyes blazing with fury. She swiftly drew her sword from its scabbard and shouted in a shrill voice: "You lecher! I'll kill you!"

  As soon as the sound fell, Zhan Yun's body moved, her body followed the sword, and the sword was launched from the heart. The cultivation of Niejing burst out, only to see her long hair dancing with anger, and the black tight-fitting suit on her body fluttering wildly, which actually set off her curvaceous figure to the extreme!

  "Dance of the Sword, Overturning the City!"

  With the sword move, Zhan Yun's posture was varied and numerous, like a fairy descending to the earth, like a heavenly demon's wonderful dance. The anger on her face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a charming smile that made people dizzy with its beauty.

  A brilliant sword light suddenly flashed, transforming into a dazzling sword aura that slashed towards Xiao Zhan ten meters away.

  Without any probing, Zhan Ying immediately used her strongest move. Originally, she was most proud of the subtlety of her swordsmanship, and believed that few people of the same age could surpass her in terms of technique. However, yesterday's exchange with Xiao Zhan made her realize that even if she exerted all her strength, she couldn't break through his turtle-shell-like defense. What was even more deadly was that her signature move "Sword Dance Overturning the City" was far inferior to his, whether in terms of mastery or subtlety, and competing with him in technique was simply self-torture.

  However, Zhan Ying discovered that Xiao Zhan's actual cultivation was only equivalent to the peak of Xiantian, with a true yuan strength of 1000 crystals. Although she didn't understand what method he used to amplify his true yuan to 20,000 crystals, she believed this situation wouldn't last long. As soon as she and he competed in true yuan, she would definitely be able to force him to reveal his true form.

  Sword energy rumbles, dazzling and piercing!

  When he saw Zhan Ying's move "Sword Dance Overturning the City", Xiao Zhan's "Wang Ba Sword Heart" in his mind suddenly shook violently. In a flash, the precious sword that was still inserted into the scabbard in his left hand actually resonated with it, and with a "clang!" sound, it automatically came out of its sheath.

  "Ding!"

  A sword cry shook the air, brilliant sword light, dazzling and eye-catching!

  In an instant, Xiao Zhan's long hair danced wildly, his eyes were as cold as a sword, and his invisible majesty rose higher and higher. The people in the arena felt that a sleeping king had awakened, and the aura of a monarch enveloped the entire martial arts arena.

  Clang!

  In the blink of an eye, the treasure sword fell into Xiao Zhan's right hand. In that instant, he entered the "War God Consciousness" state. All ten brain domains and the True Eye were fully opened. Under the effect of the Sword Heart, Xiao Zhan's eyes shone with a brilliant silver light. Without thinking, he launched the "Bao Zi Jian Jue" technique.

  The tyrannical sword light flashed, angrily slashing towards the magnificent sword energy.

  In the blink of an eye, Zhan Yun's gaze met the majestic sword aura, and her mind was instantly shaken. She felt that this one sword was majestically beautiful to the extreme, not only sealing off all her changes and retreats, but also a majestic sword intent that was omnipresent, making her feel like she had no way to retreat or avoid it, and could only clash head-on.

  "Boom!"

  The sword energies collided, and an unexpected scene unfolded! The sword energy condensed by War Yun's "Sword Dance Over the City" was actually no match for the collapse. A loud explosion shook the heavens, and the violent energy raged wildly in the martial arts arena. The overbearing sword energy had not dissipated, and after a slight pause, it suddenly slashed towards War Yun, who looked utterly incredulous.

  How did this happen?

  His own trump card actually collapsed at a touch!

  "Boom!"

  Xiao Zhan's sword sliced through the air, sending Xie Yun flying, her black uniform torn and tattered, utterly disheveled.

  Xiao Zhan smiled coldly, and he didn't feel surprised at all. The "Nine-Character Sword Intent" was the War God's ultimate technique, how could it be compared to an incomplete "City-Toppling Sword Intent"? The difference in moves and realm was too great, not to mention that their cultivation levels were equal, even if one side had a higher level, they might not necessarily win. Moreover, Xiao Zhan was currently in the state of "War God Consciousness", which made this gap even greater.

  Ignoring the furious and humiliated War Yun, Xiao Zhan sheathed his long sword and tossed it to Qin Nianran at the side of the arena, coldly laughing: "'The City-Overturning Sword Technique' has a total of nine levels, each level consisting of over a thousand sets of top-notch sword techniques. Only after mastering all nine can one achieve 'Sword Dance Overturns the City'. Is this really your 'City-Overturning Sword Technique'? Hmph! It's simply an insult to this exquisite skill!"

  Xiao Zhan's eyes turned icy cold, and he sneered: "Dealing with you, who hasn't even mastered the basics of swordsmanship, would be bullying. Today, I'll use my fingers instead of a sword to let you see what the real 'Overturning City Sword Technique' looks like. From now on, don't embarrass yourself by showing off your half-baked sword skills."

  "You!"

  Zhan Yingfeng's eyes spewed fire, extreme shame and anger.

  Xiao Zhan let out a cold laugh, and without saying another word, he suddenly pointed out. In an instant, his sleeves fluttered like a celestial being, using his fingers as swords, a dazzling sword technique unfolded at his fingertips, his demeanor, the sword intent in his sword seemed to exude a gentle and delicate emotion, as if he was performing a sword dance for his beloved, with an unspeakable deep affection.

  What's this move?

  Zhan Ying's eyes were filled with shock, heavens! It was actually the first move of "Qing Cheng Jian Jue" - "Lover's Sword Dance"! Legend had it that "Qing Cheng Jian Jue" was created by Zhan Fei in pursuit of Zhan Shen, and back then she had won Zhan Shen's heart with this very sword technique. The original "Lover's Sword Dance" had long been lost, and the move that Zhan Ying had learned from her master was a completely different creation, one that couldn't be compared to Zhan Fei's at all.

  He really knows "The Sword of the City". But isn't this sword technique already lost? How does he know it?

  Right! He is from the lineage of the God of War, could it be that this set of sword techniques has been passed down to this day?

  In an instant, the shock passed and Zhan Yun saw that Xiao Zhan's "Lover's Sword Dance" had reached its peak, dazzlingly pointing at her. His posture was elegant, his eyes filled with tender feelings, the sword light shining brightly, the dance magnificent, and the sword aura enveloping Zhan Yun made her feel not a hint of killing intent, only that deep emotion like the vast ocean. Her heart, without realizing it, began to sink, and she only wished to sink in, unwilling to extricate herself.

  In Xiang Wan's eyes, Xiao Zhan's finger was not like that dazzling sword move, but a deep and passionate gesture from her lover. When she came to her senses, she had already been thrown into the air, her whole body soft and weak, without any resistance.

  "You're too weak!"

  Xiao Zhan let out a soft sigh, stretched out his hand and grasped at the air, instantly the treasured sword in Zhan Ying's hand flew into his own. A sword flower suddenly bloomed, as he looked at Zhan Ying lying on the ground with a bewildered expression, unsure of what to do. He said calmly: "I just wanted you to demonstrate once and for all what is truly 'Qing Cheng Jian Quan', how much you can learn depends on your own abilities."

  Before long, Xiao Zhan was alone in the martial arts arena, dancing with his sword. The first layer of "Qing Cheng Jian Jue" was displayed in his nimble movements, and a thousand sets of sword moves were beautifully unfolded. Unconsciously, more and more people gathered around to watch this Qing Cheng Sword Dance. His sword moves did not have the charm and seductiveness of a woman's sword dance, but instead had an extraordinary elegance and freedom, showcasing the masculine beauty to the extreme, making all the women in the arena excited and enthusiastic.

  She is truly a dance that captivates the city, a sword that captivates the city.

  When the last thousand swords merged into one, "Sword Dance Over the City" bloomed magnificently and then faded away, Xiao Zhan drifted off.

  It took a while for the crowd to come back to their senses, and they began to ask questions about Xiao Zhan's whereabouts. The Zi Meng sisters were somewhat caught off guard, as they had not expected Xiao Zhan's "Qing Cheng Jian Qu" to cause such a stir. They had intentionally kept it under wraps, but now that the news was out, they couldn't help but smile wryly at each other as they watched the crowd surge forward, with many of the women asking to join their group.

  The commotion caused by Xiao Zhan was far from over, as countless people hidden in the shadows gazed at him with fiery eyes as he left. In a pavilion not far from the martial arts arena, a woman wearing a veil and dressed in black watched Xiao Zhan leave, her eyes blazing with excitement. She muttered to herself: "I didn't think that the 'City Overturning Sword Technique' still existed in this world! It's too perfect! That little guy is so young yet has mastered this sword technique to its limits, it's unbelievable! No matter what method I use, I must obtain this sword technique! Ah, his physique is incredibly strong, even from such a distance, he can still stir up one's blood and energy."
