Chapter 6: The Sword King's Expert

  Pride! Absolute pride!

  Even if he no longer has the strength of the past Sword God, his body is still that of the unrivaled Sword God who dominated the Soul Sword Continent.

  Wú Tiān, formerly known as Hǎi Tiān, is now commonly referred to by those who know him as Wú Tiān Jiàn Shén. As for his real name, it has been so long unused that it has already been forgotten.

  On the Soul Sword Continent, apart from one's own strength, the best way to showcase personal combat power is through their sword. Now, Hai Tian is not one to let such a good opportunity slip by, so how could he possibly give it up?

  Moreover, according to his judgment, the cave discovered by the Saru family was at least left behind by a Sword Emperor-level expert.

  "Will the core area have even higher-level sword equipment?" After leaving the hall, Haitian thought carefully, but he quickly returned to his room and secretly followed them out, needing to make some thorough preparations.

  The mechanism left by a high-ranking Sword Emperor is not that easy to break, and it may take a very long time.

  Everything was so normal, but when they set off, there was one more person beside Haitian, who was Xiaoyu.

  Unlike Hei Tian's serious face, Xiao Yu's face was completely excited, as if she were going out on a date.

  "Little Rain, you didn't have to come this time at all. The Seven Treasure Mountains are too big and you haven't even started cultivating yet. It's really too dangerous for you." Hai Tian let out a soft sigh. If Little Rain hadn't caught him trying to sneak away, he wouldn't have brought her along.

  "Brother Tian, don't worry, I can start cultivating even on the road now. That high-level yellow-grade technique book, I've already memorized it completely." Xiao Yu was indeed a person who wouldn't rest until she had shocked others to death.

  Haitian was also shocked: "You memorized all of it?"

  "That's it, I've memorized everything after transcribing it once. We can even practice outside. Tian Ge, stop talking nonsense, the others have sped up, let's hurry and catch up too, or we'll be left behind." Xiaoyu said with a pleased tone, but soon he found that the distance between him and Hai Wuya was getting farther and farther away, and he couldn't help but remind them.

  "Huh? Oh, let's hurry up then, but be careful not to get caught." Haitian was extremely surprised in his heart, he didn't think Xiaoyu actually had a photographic memory.

  It seems that even in his past life, he had to flip through countless times before memorizing the cultivation method. It looks like Xiaoyu is very smart and has a pretty good talent for cultivation.

  Xiao Yu didn't know what Hai Tian was thinking in his heart, and he was very happy all the way. This was his first time leaving Hei Shi City, and everything outside seemed extremely curious to him.

  "Brother Tian, this Seven Treasures Mountain Range is really vast, I wonder where that senior's cave mansion is hidden?" Xiaoyu was very excited, he seemed to have already started fantasizing about entering the cave and taking out the treasures inside.

  "It's hard to say, but the Seven Treasure Mountains are indeed not small. If this cave wasn't discovered by chance, it would be difficult to find from the outside." Xiaoyu, look quickly, Father and the others have made contact with another group of people." Haitian and Xiaoyu, who were hanging far behind, suddenly found that Hai Wuya's party had come into contact with another group.

  Xiao Yu glanced at the clothes of those people and immediately said: "Tian Ge, I know that those people are from the Li family. Look at the emblem on their sleeves, it's the symbol of the Li family."

  The sea and sky were also in sight, but the distance was too far. However, he could still make out that six people had come from the Li family - a middle-aged man, four elderly men, and a young man who looked slightly older than Haiyun.

  That young man was Li Tianxiang, the son of the master of the Li family and also the heir to the Li family. Like Haiyun, he had been brought out by his elders to broaden his horizons since childhood. His cultivation had already reached the level of a 9th rank swordmaster and would soon condense his sword spirit.

  Since Li Tianxiang appeared, Haiyun's gaze has been fixed on him. Haiyun seems to have also sensed that Li Tianxiang is even more formidable than him, and his eyes are filled with a jealous expression.

  Li Tianxiang was no weaker, and with the same gaze, he stared back. Between the two people's gazes, a fierce spark seemed to have been ignited, just like the current situation between the two families.

  "Hmph!" Hai Yun grunted, retreating several steps back, a faint sweetness in his mouth, and a thread of fresh blood seeping out. In the process of exchanging gazes with Li Tianxiang just now, he had already used up his sword spirit power, but unfortunately, his strength was still slightly inferior to Li Tianxiang's, and he was forced to retreat by Li Tianxiang's sword spirit power.

  Seeing his own son at a disadvantage, Hai Wuya naturally wouldn't stand idly by and quietly blocked Hai Yun's path, coldly laughing: "Master Li, you truly have a good son, already possessing the power of a 9th rank sword at such a young age, I suppose he'll soon become a one-star swordsman?"

  "It's all thanks to your son showing mercy, otherwise..." Although he spoke humbly, Li's face was full of pride.

  Just now, two young people secretly competed with each other, and it was clear that Li Tianxiang had won the victory. As his father, the master of the Li family was naturally very happy.

  "Hmph!" Such a sulky tone, Hai Wuya couldn't say anything, and could only let out a cold hum to express his discontent.

  The sea and sky in the distance were a bit unclear, but I found that Haiyun had retreated a few steps, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, as if he was injured.

  "Brother Tian, why is Big Brother bleeding?" Xiaoyu asked in a low voice.

  Haitian took a glance and immediately understood: "Just now, he was secretly competing with the young man from the Li family to see who had the stronger sword spirit. The result was that the young man from the Li family won, and Haoyun suffered some minor injuries."

  "Serves him right! Does he also have times when he's hurt? I'm most fed up with his arrogant attitude at home all day." Xiaoyu said with a relieved smile, but then her expression turned worried, "Speaking of which, Tian Ge, that person from the Li family is really formidable, actually able to injure Big Brother. It seems his strength isn't low either?"

  "He's almost condensed his sword spirit." Haitian saw it at a glance.

  "Jianling ah! I'm so envious, I don't know when I'll be able to condense a sword spirit!" Xiaoyu's face was full of envy, but he didn't know that Haitian beside him had already condensed a sword spirit, and it was with just a single segment of sword energy.

  At this time, Haitian suddenly felt a strong spiritual force sweeping towards their direction, and he secretly called out that something was wrong. He quickly pulled Xiaoyu to flash open, but the opponent's spiritual force fluctuation range was too large, and they couldn't escape at all.

  An old man in white clothes came out from the thick bushes, and directly pulled out Haitian and Xiaoyu who were hiding in the grass like holding a small chicken.

  With a few light footsteps, the old man instantly landed beside Hai Wuya and the others.

  "Heavens, little rain, how are you two?" The Hai family people immediately exclaimed as soon as they saw Hai Tian and Xiao Yu.

  Haitian did not expect that he had been following Hai Wuya and others for so long without being discovered, but was instead found by this ordinary old man. His heart was shocked, feeling that his body could no longer move, knowing that the other's strength was much higher than his own. He didn't struggle anymore, just looked at the Hai family with a bitter face.

  "Brother Tian, I'm paralyzed! What's going on?" Xiaoyu cried out in terror.

  Haitian understood that the old man had used his sword spirit to completely seal him and Xiaoyu, this was a gap in their actual strength. Even if he had more experience, it would be impossible to make up for it.

  "Who is this?" Hai Wuya also discovered that Haitian and Xiaoyu were sealed, and his gaze turned to the white-robed old man.

  The host of the Li family suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "This is our Li family's Taishang elder, who has already become a one-star sword king-level master. This time for treasure hunting, I specially invited him out."

  "One-Star Sword King!" The Hai family exclaimed in shock, a Sword King-level expert was absolutely unattainable in their eyes. Unexpectedly, the Li family actually hid another Sword King-level expert.

  If it weren't for this treasure hunt, the Hai family probably wouldn't have known that the Li family had such a master.

  "Senior, can you let the two juniors of our Hai family go?" Hai Wuya stepped forward with a stiff neck, he understood that the old man in front of him was much stronger than him, and his tone was involuntarily respectful.

  The old man's turbid eyes suddenly emitted a sharp light, he let out a low hum, his gaze fixed tightly on Haitian's body, his eyebrows furrowed instantly.

  At this time, Haitian was constantly trying to break through the constraints of the sword spirit's power. Although he had lost his former strength and was now just a small figure, his soul remained unchanged, his pride remained unchanged!

  He! Still the same Sword God as before!

  Absolutely no one is allowed to confine him, even if it's the Sword King!

  The vortex inside the dantian began to rotate rapidly, and the sword spirit above the vortex was also like a spiritual being, emitting a humming sound. Dazzling white light shot out from within the sword spirit, and a sharp, piercing aura suddenly radiated outward.

  "Bang, bang..." Only to hear several consecutive muffled sounds, Hai Tian immediately realized that his body could move again. Suddenly, a milky white light shot out from Hai Tian's lower abdomen, heading straight for the old man in white.

  "Heavens! Impossible!" Hai Wuya's face turned pale with cold sweat dripping down as he saw the attack from Haitian. This person in front of him was a Sword King-level expert, after all. Although he and Yixing Sword King were only a few levels apart, the gap between them was like an enormous chasm.

  A one-star Sword King can easily take down ten nine-star Great Swordsmen, that's the difference!

  "Does the little guy also want to attack me? You're still a bit off in terms of strength!" The white-robed old man didn't get angry, instead he smiled slightly and suddenly raised an eyebrow, exclaiming: "Huh? Is this a Sword Spirit?"

  The white-robed old man's vision was indeed high, and at a glance, he saw through the white dot that Haitian had just shot out, which was actually the sword spirit in his body!

  Upon hearing the old man's words, the Li family members were somewhat relieved, but the Hai family members were shocked one by one. They all knew the details of Hai Tian's situation and had only just chosen their cultivation methods two days ago, so how did Hai Tian manage to condense a sword spirit?

  Especially Haiyun, he was even more incredulous, the Haitian he had always looked down on had actually condensed his sword spirit earlier than him, how could he bear it?
