Chapter 18: Sitting on a Mountain Watching Tigers Fight

  Many of the Hai family's younger generation who were close to Hai Yun couldn't help but sneer at Hai Tian, thinking that he would soon be seriously injured and definitely wouldn't be able to escape Hai Lianfeng's vengeful strike.

  But their smiles soon froze on their faces, and they were all shocked, staring at Haitian with their mouths agape, unable to speak for a long time.

  The sword energy released by Hailifeng was actually blocked by Haitian with just one hand.

  "Are you done playing?" A cold glint flashed in Haitian's eyes, and the sword spirit within him suddenly shot out, directly striking the sword energy emitted by Hailifeng.

  In an instant, the sword energy directly changed direction and flew towards the direction where Hailifeng was.

  At this sight, Hailiweng's face changed greatly, and he rolled on the ground to narrowly avoid that dangerous blow. But before he could get up, a loud noise suddenly came from behind him, and the sword energy just now directly hit the wall of the small courtyard, causing half of the wall to collapse completely.

  Shocking! Absolutely shocking!

  Hailed as the most formidable master among the younger generation of the Hai family, apart from Hai Yun, Hai Lifu was unexpectedly defeated by Hai Tian, who had only been cultivating for over a month. This left all the Hai family disciples present completely stunned.

  "Hmph! From now on, whoever comes to bother me again will not be spared!" Haitian coldly snorted and walked into the room. Xiaoyu made a mischievous face at the stunned crowd, hehe smiled and quickly followed him in.

  "Haifengtang Ge, how are you? Are you injured?" Seeing the prowess of Haitian and Xiaoyu, those Ha family juniors who were relatively close to Haifeng finally came forward.

  However, Hailong Feng was staring blankly at the door of Haitian's house, muttering to himself: "Sword... Sword Spirit! That was definitely a Sword Spirit just now!"

  "Li Feng Tang Ge, what did you say? Just now, Hai Tian used Sword Spirit to attack you?" Upon hearing Hai Li Feng's muttering, many of the Hai family disciples suddenly cried out in surprise.

  "That's right! That's absolutely the Sword Spirit, didn't you see it? That small white sword!" Hai Lifu glared with wide eyes and roared.

  The surrounding Hai family disciples were in an uproar, no one had expected that Hai Tian had actually condensed a sword spirit, which was even more powerful than their own Hai Yun big brother.

  "Li Feng Tang Ge, you're not mistaken, are you? Hai Tian has only been cultivating for a little over a month, how is it possible for him to condense a sword spirit?" A member of the Hai family sneered.

  "No! I'm absolutely sure I didn't see it wrong! That's the Sword Spirit!" Hailifeng shouted loudly, but immediately afterwards his face was filled with disappointment. "The gap between me and him is too big, even Haiyun Big Brother isn't his match."

  As he spoke, Hai Li Feng slowly stood up and left unsteadily, leaving behind a group of bewildered young men from the Hai family.

  They exchanged glances with each other, and then they all left one after another. From then on, whether it was those who stood on Haiyun's side or those who remained neutral, everyone showed respect to Haitian whenever they saw him.

  Through the door gap, she saw that everyone had already left. Xiaoyu turned around and smiled: "Tian Ge, it seems they've all gone. You scared them off earlier. No wonder you're a five-segment sword master, much more powerful than Hailifeng's four-segment sword master."

  "Xiao Yu, stop talking nonsense and hurry up to cultivate. It's been a month and you've only just reached the first stage of sword power, no wonder Third Uncle is dissatisfied." Hai Tian saw Xiao Yu with a smiling face and also couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.

  "Brother Tian, I don't have your natural talent, no matter how hard I cultivate, I won't be able to catch up with you. It's better to just enjoy myself while I can." Xiaoyu was very relaxed and didn't put her heart into cultivation at all.

  However, Hai Tian furrowed his brow and said seriously: "Xiao Yu, you're wrong. Innate talent is indeed important, but even with the best innate talent, it's impossible to reach the Sword God realm without diligence and perseverance! Those who have reached the Sword God realm often don't have the most outstanding innate talent, but they persisted in their arduous cultivation. Xiao Yu, do you understand my words? Even if your innate talent is not as good as others, you absolutely cannot give up!"

  "I know, I'll go back and cultivate then." Xiaoyu had never seen Haitian speak to him like that before. Although he was a bit skeptical in his heart, he still obediently went back to cultivate.

  After sending Xiaoyu away, Haitian continued to start his bitter practice. He prepared to make a concerted effort this time and cultivate until he became a one-star swordsman before leaving the house again. However, just as he was about to start practicing, Xiaoyu ran over.

  "Brother Tian! Brother Tian! Uncle is calling you to go to the hall quickly!" Little Rain's voice rang out outside the door.

  Haitian slightly furrowed his brow and reluctantly opened the door: "Xiaoyu, do you know what happened?"

  "I don't know, Uncle just told you to hurry over." Xiaoyu panted heavily, her face flushed red, looking like she had run directly from the seaside.

  Realizing that Hai Wuya might have an emergency, Haitian couldn't care less about continuing his secluded cultivation and directly ran out.

  Before long, Hai Tian rushed into the hall. At this time, the hall was already packed with people, and the real leaders of the Hai family had all gathered here.

  In the center of the front row, sitting on the left was Hai Wu Ya, the master of the Hai family. On the right were three senior elders lined up, while on the left sat Hai Tian's second uncle, Hai Kuang Jun, and third uncle, Hai Rui.

  "Father!" Ha Tian nodded slightly, "I don't know what you called me here for?"

  "The Salou family and the Li family have gone to war!" Hai Wuya blurted out a heavyweight piece of news, knowing that the Salou family and the Li family were two of the three major families in Blackstone City, and their going to war would cause enormous losses for Blackstone City.

  Beside the elder, a tall old man added: "Tian Er, we just received intelligence. The Sa Lu family and the Li family both found a Xuan Jie primary sword in the cave mansion at the same time, neither of them was willing to give it up, so they ended up having a big fight, with heavy casualties on both sides." Hai Wu Ya said seriously.

  "Is it just for a Xuanjie initial sword?" Haitian's heart was filled with disdain.

  The sea has no bounds, and as soon as he saw the sky, he understood his thoughts. He smiled and said: "Tian Er, you've already made several moves with your Xuanjie beginner sword, and there are also intermediate ones. They don't have such good luck. For a Xuanjie beginner sword, it's only natural that we fight for it."

  The sea and sky were in his heart, yet he couldn't help but find it a bit amusing. Others would fight over a single low-grade Xuan-level sword, but he could casually pull out several low-grade Xuan-level swords, as well as some mid-grade ones.

  If Hai Wu and others were to find out in the future that Hai Tian would be able to refine even more Xuan-tier sword equipment, who knows what they would think.

  "What's next?" Haotian asked curiously. If it were just that, Hai Wuya and the others wouldn't have looked for him.

  "You also know that the Li family was severely damaged when they were in the cave mansion. In the end, only the Li family master and the white-robed old man had any remaining combat power left. The Salu family also suffered some damage, but their combat power remained relatively intact. The two families fought a battle that shook the heavens, even the White Sword King was severely injured." Hai Wuya's expression turned grave, from which one could imagine how brutal the fight between the two families was.

  "Is the Sword King also injured?" Hai Tian was shocked in his heart.

  Hai Wuya nodded and said, "Yes, I was injured by Paen, the genius great swordmaster of the Saru family."

  "Genius Great Swordsman Paen? Who is that?" Hai Tian's heart skipped a beat, to be able to injure the Sword King, this great swordsman was not simple.

  "Paern is the most promising swordsman of his generation in the Saru family, who was expected to break through to the Sword King realm. He's 41 years old and has been cultivating for over 30 years, but he was killed by that white-robed old man with just one sword. Do you think the Saru family is angry or not?" Hai Wuya said with a smile on his face.

  Paern was not only a pressure on the Li family, but also a pressure on the Hai family. Now that the Sword King of the Li family has killed Paern, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, at least for the next ten years, there will be no Sword King in the Saru family.

  "Then the Salu family completely opposed the Li family because of Pai's death and the initial sword of the Xuanjie?" Hai Tian slightly raised his eyebrows, while in his heart he was more astonished.

  Hai Wuya smiled and said, "Right, these two families have completely clashed. I just received news that the Saru tribe's leader has gone back to gather all his strength to attack the Li family. And the Li family, with both of its strongest members heavily injured, is now shrinking in defense."

  "That sword king was injured, this Payne is not bad." Haitian praised, this Payne others called him a genius, but in Haitian's eyes he was nothing.

  Forty years old and still hasn't reached the Sword King, yet dares to claim genius? Thinking back, he only started cultivating at twenty years old, and by forty years old, he had already become a Sword Emperor.

  The last life was like this, now there are even more favorable conditions than the last life, will the sea and sky still be worse than the last life?

  "What about that Xuanjie initial sword, did the Li family get it in the end?" Haitian thought for a moment before asking.

  "Not bad, I was given it by that Sword King."

  "Father, what are you going to do? Help one family attack the other?" If Hai's family joins as a third party, then one side will definitely not be able to withstand it.

  "We don't need to do anything now." A smile appeared on Hai Wuya's face, and the other several masters of the Hai family also had a subtle and mysterious smile on their faces. "Just sit back and watch the tiger fight."

  "Sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight?" Hai Tian suddenly realized in his heart that although he was the Sword God in his previous life, and no one could compare to him in terms of cultivation, when it came to schemes and plots, he was far inferior to people like Hai Wu Jia.

  It's just that he found it strange in his heart, the two big families fought and fought well, how Hai family did Hai Wu Ya they decided to go, why bother to find him specifically?

  "Father, I have something I don't understand." Then Hai Tian expressed the doubts in his heart.

  "Haha, Tian Er, just because we have nothing to do doesn't mean you don't have anything to do!" Hai Wuya burst out laughing loudly, and the other powerful members of the Hai family also smiled and nodded in agreement.
