Chapter 43

In the void.

Xiao Qi was completely shocked. He had thought that the "Reverse Sword Technique" was Xu Xiaoshou's greatest insight, but he never expected it to be just the beginning.

Who taught him this "All Things Are Swords"?

Is there anyone in the Tian Sang Spirit Palace whose sword cultivation surpasses his own?

And...

"All Things Are Swords" can be understood, but how did Mu Zixi also generate a sword intent? What the hell is going on?

Do you think she's not human?

From Xu Xiaoshou's perspective, indeed, anyone can be the medium for "All Things Are Swords." Of course, he had only studied this technique halfway.

Spirit power shot out the tree seed he had secretly moved, and Mu Zixi's face immediately showed a look of a plot being exposed.

The surroundings still buzzed, but Xu Xiaoshou remained calm, though he was clearly surrounded by ancient trees.

Amid the audience's impatient waiting, Xu Xiaoshou slowly sheathed "Zang Ku."

The surrounding sword intent subsided and completely disappeared.

Xu Xiaoshou seemed to have given up the struggle, allowing the ancient trees to form a forest.

The audience: ???

"Damn, is it over?"

"I thought he was saving up for a big move, but he didn't even let out a fart at the end?"

"He gave up? Well, maybe Mu Zixi will stop..."

Will Mu Zixi stop?

Ha, no way!

The little girl, seeing Xu Xiaoshou sheath his sword, realized something was wrong but couldn't pinpoint the issue, so she decided to act first.

"I'm coming!"

She clapped her hands again, and the hundreds of ancient trees on the stage, centered on Xu Xiaoshou, suddenly struck.

Some in the audience covered their eyes, unable to bear the sight of Xu Xiaoshou being blown to pieces.

Facing the surging ancient trees, Xu Xiaoshou remained calm.

He stood ready, his momentum slightly sinking, and with a quick draw, the sword returned to the sheath.

"What is he doing?"

"Drawing the sword?"

"Not drawing the sword?"

Despite being surrounded by ancient trees, some still noticed his movements and were very curious.

The next second, all the ancient trees suddenly stopped, and a loud boom echoed as Mu Zixi was lifted by the trees under her feet.

Everyone was stunned. What just happened?

Is Mu Zixi having a seizure?

Did she misfire her move?

In the front row of the audience, Su Qianqian stretched her neck, her eyes full of surprise.

Others couldn't see, but she, with her innate sword intent, could clearly perceive it.

The moment Xu Xiaoshou drew the sword an inch, several leaves were instantly cut in half.

What terrifying sword technique!

First, "All Things Are Swords," then the meaning is embodied in form, gathering the sky's sword intent into the sheath.

Then, using the moment of drawing the sword, he unleashed a terrifying circular cutting force.

Sure enough, the hundreds of ancient trees, which had suddenly stopped, were all cut off at the roots but continued to rush toward Xu Xiaoshou above!

"Boom!"

Another huge mushroom cloud.

But this time, despite the hundreds of ancient trees, the mushroom cloud was smaller than before.

"Wow!"

The audience finally realized that Xu Xiaoshou's one-inch draw had actually cut the hundreds of ancient trees!

"My God, this..."

"Xu Xiaoshou's progress is too great. This sword draw is simply too cool!"

"Ugh, with just that draw, I've fallen in love with Xu Xiaoshou!"

Leaves fluttered, and debris filled the air.

Xu Xiaoshou sheathed his sword, standing amidst the pitted stage, his demeanor captivating everyone.

Although he had broken the situation with one sword, Xu Xiaoshou frowned.

This sword was executed perfectly, even to his own satisfaction, and there was no reason for Mu Zixi to detect his hidden sword intent.

But she had preemptively used the ancient trees to lift herself away from the sword...

Why?

High in the air, Mu Zixi was still shaken, her heart pounding.

If it weren't for the tree seed secretly parasitized in Xu Xiaoshou's body, wouldn't she be dead by now?

"Damn Xu Xiaoshou, to use such a vicious move..."

"Fine, I'll use my big move too!"

A tree seed was thrown, and in an instant, ancient trees rooted in the void, striking down and lifting Mu Zixi toward Xu Xiaoshou.

Chao Qingteng's lips twitched. This girl is really bold. Wasn't the sword through her chest enough of a lesson?

Everyone was also confused. Another one daring to get close to Xu Xiaoshou?

This is a sure path to death!

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes lit up. Close combat, that's great!

The stage crumbled beneath his feet, and he leaped up with a punch, but the opponent's response left him dazed.

Mu Zixi clenched her fist, exhaled, and swung a punch.

Is this girl crazy?

Or is she just too aggressive?

But in a match, there's no room for mercy.

Even if this punch might cripple Mu Zixi's arm, Xu Xiaoshou still unleashed his full strength, showing no mercy.

Thud, thud, thud!

The expected sound of bone cracking didn't occur. At the moment of the punch, Mu Zixi's fist transformed into entangling vines, wrapping around Xu Xiaoshou's body.

Forearm, shoulder, entire body...

All turned into vines, entangling Xu Xiaoshou.

Xu Xiaoshou felt like he had hit a cushion, with no resistance, and he was thrown forward.

"Hehe, I'm here."

A girl's voice came from behind. Xu Xiaoshou turned in horror and saw the vines that had entangled him re-form into Mu Zixi's body.

Mu Zixi!

Is she a snake?

She had coiled around his waist!

"Get off!"

Xu Xiaoshou struggled to shake off Mu Zixi but failed.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, pain shot through his kidneys. Looking down, he saw Mu Zixi's feet had turned into spikes, piercing his waist.

"Damn, don't mess around... Ugh!"

He tried to pull them off, but tree roots pierced his shoulder joints, and his hands instantly lost control, hanging limp.

"You parasite, get off!"

Xu Qi was panicked. What kind of fighting is this? So disgusting!

With only his head free, Xu Xiaoshou turned and headbutted, but missed.

"Dare to call me a parasite?"

Mu Zixi was angry, pouting: "Bloom for me!"

Pop!

A red flower sprouted from Xu Xiaoshou's head, swaying gracefully.

"Ha ha ha!"

"Xu Xiaoshou is blooming!"

"My God, how funny, is this a battle? Can't you be serious?"

The audience burst into laughter, even Su Qianqian, who had been worried, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

The audience was amused, but Xu Xiaoshou was terrified, completely paralyzed.

He was completely stunned!

When did this tree seed enter his body, undetected even by his "Perception"?

This is too stealthy!

And blooming aside, this thing rooted in his brain, continuously releasing paralyzing factors, leaving him unable to move.

This is like being tied to a chopping block, at the mercy of others!

He was confident he hadn't underestimated her, even using the "sword draw" he had pondered last night, but he was still captured.

This girl is too terrifying!
