Chapter 76

The worst thing that Xiao Zhan had feared finally happened; he was caught red-handed. He had thought that the girl would need to put on clothes before chasing him, which would at least delay her a bit, so he didn't run at full speed. Who would have thought that the girl's speed was so fast, and she caught up in the blink of an eye.

"Miss, this seems to be a misunderstanding," Xiao Zhan tried to force a smile to ease the tense atmosphere. However, when his gaze fell on the girl blocking his path, his heart raced wildly, and his eyes became fixed. He even swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

At that moment, the girl's wet hair danced in the wind, and her fiery body was tightly wrapped in a white bath towel. She stood barefoot about five meters in front of Xiao Zhan, revealing her tender arms, most of her beautiful legs, and a deep cleavage. Even more tempting was that, due to the haste of the chase, she hadn't had time to dry her body, making the bath towel wet and cling to her, creating a visually stunning and extremely alluring sight.

Seeing the girl's attire, Xiao Zhan's mind was filled with the vivid and clear image of her swimming naked. Whether intentional or not, this scene was imprinted in his mind, and he could replay it at will, which was far more stimulating than watching a high-definition movie, like a live broadcast.

At that moment, Xiao Zhan's mind was replaying the scene of the girl standing naked on the stone, leaping into the air, and the water splashing, revealing endless beauty. Unconsciously, a smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes sparkled.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's smile, the girl felt as if she were completely naked, with no cover at all. Her anger instantly flared up. A blue light flashed, and a sword appeared in her hand. With a "clang," she drew the sword, her true essence energy rapidly circulating. She took a step forward and thrust the sword at Xiao Zhan's throat, shouting, "Misunderstanding my ass! Pervert, take this sword!"

The girl's sword technique was dazzling, her posture graceful. Under the brilliant sword light, she looked like a beauty dancing with a sword. Leaves flew in the small path, and the sword intent was deadly. In the blink of an eye, the distance of five meters was covered.

The girl's face was cold, her phoenix eyes blazing with killing intent. The true essence energy of the Nirvana realm condensed on the sword, and the fierce sword qi was hidden. The afternoon sunlight shone on the sword, making the sword light dazzling.

"City-Enchanting Sword Technique!"

Xiao Zhan exclaimed in surprise, instinctively taking a step back. His long sword moved as he wished, and he used the same "City-Enchanting Sword Technique." Unlike the girl's dazzling dance, his sword technique was graceful and ethereal, like a god or a fairy. For a moment, Xiao Zhan felt a sense of loss, as if he were back when the War God's spirit possessed him.

The long swords clashed, sparks flying. The force of over 20,000 crystals exploded, and the sword qi danced. Both retreated quickly, and Xiao Zhan used the rebound force to retreat rapidly, creating a distance of nearly ten meters between them.

Xiao Zhan was somewhat surprised, not expecting the girl to have practiced the "City-Enchanting Sword Technique" and to have such a deep mastery of it.

This sword technique was an ancient one, with nine levels, each containing a thousand moves, making it very difficult to practice. It was the holy scripture of sword dancing, known for its beauty and perfection, with the saying "City-Enchanting Sword Technique, sword dance that enchants the city." However, don't think it's just a beautiful sword dance; when practiced to the extreme, it has no flaws and is said to enchant the city with a single dance and a single sword.

According to the information he obtained when the War God's spirit possessed him, this sword technique was created by the War God's wife, the War Empress, and was not passed down. Just as Xiao Zhan was about to speak, the girl attacked again. At that moment, she was light and graceful, like a dancer, her sword technique dazzling and dancing. Combined with her attire, she was extremely sexy and alluring.

The distance of nearly ten meters was covered in an instant. The sword light bloomed like a flower, and when it reached its peak, the killing intent appeared. A bright sword light shot straight at Xiao Zhan's face.

Seeing this sword, Xiao Zhan suddenly sighed.

Although he was enveloped by the sword's momentum, Xiao Zhan felt that the girl was dancing with the sword for him. The only pity was that she couldn't hide her killing intent, which ruined the perfection of the move.

"Zzz!"

As soon as his gaze met the girl's sword, Xiao Zhan's long sword moved as he wished, attacking the strongest point of the sword's momentum.

"Ding!"

The sword tips collided, and Xiao Zhan, who had received the War God's true essence, was superior. With one sword, he made the girl retreat in a sorry state.

The girl was extremely shocked. Not only did this pervert know the "City-Enchanting Sword Technique," but he was even more perfect than she was!

How could this be?

This result made the girl both surprised and angry. She gritted her teeth and abandoned her ultimate move, attacking again with her sword.

"Zzz, zzz, zzz..."

The girl's sword attacks came faster and faster, their movements unpredictable, and the fierce sword qi formed a net, relentlessly attacking Xiao Zhan. For a moment, he found it difficult to defend.

Xiao Zhan had already reached the Object-Sword Realm, and in theory, any sword technique could be broken with one sword. However, this was not the case. His Object-Sword Realm was achieved in the "War God's consciousness" state. After exiting the War God's consciousness, although he could see through any technique at a glance and sometimes think of thousands of ways to counter it, his body couldn't keep up with his mind, often making him awkward.

This situation didn't surprise Xiao Zhan. After all, he hadn't truly practiced 99% of the sword techniques. The reason he could break the girl's attack with one sword earlier was entirely due to the "City-Enchanting Sword Technique." Now, he was just barely able to block her attacks, and he was grateful for that.

After dozens of sword strikes, Xiao Zhan's situation gradually improved. His sword movements became more graceful, and he no longer looked awkward. After a hundred sword strikes, he defended with ease and even had time to appreciate the girl's sword technique. Although the effect was significant, Xiao Zhan didn't counterattack but used this opportunity to hone his sword skills. After all, he was at fault first, and defeating the girl would make him feel uncomfortable.

To achieve the effect of honing his skills, Xiao Zhan used the defensive sword technique "Impregnable as a Golden Wall."

This sword technique had eight levels, each with forty-nine moves. Only when the forty-nine moves were condensed into one did it count as a completed level.

The name might be a bit vulgar, but this sword technique was truly impregnable. The forty-nine defensive moves were used one by one, creating a defense that was airtight. No matter how cunning or fierce the girl's sword technique was, it couldn't break through the sword net Xiao Zhan had woven.

Xiao Zhan's mind was filled with sword techniques, and countless moves moved as he wished. Unconsciously, he entered a wondrous realm. The sword techniques in his mind gradually became blurred, no longer limited to the forty-nine moves. His sword technique suddenly became ambiguous.

Previously, when he used a sword, he would first think of a countermove and then use the sword to break it. Now, the situation had changed. His mind no longer thought of countermoves, but his sword would break the girl's moves as soon as they appeared. It felt as if he wasn't controlling his sword and body but was driven by an impulse.

Yes, an impulse.

When the girl used her sword, this impulse made Xiao Zhan use the sword to break her moves without thinking.

Where did this impulse come from?

It came from the sword heart of the offensive and defensive sword techniques in his heart.

One becomes many, and many become one, breaking all tangible techniques in the world—this is the Object-Sword Realm. However, to reach this realm, one must forget. Only by forgetting all techniques and freeing one's heart from the constraints of techniques, like having a sword in one's heart and seeing everything as a sword, can one achieve this. As long as the sword exists in the heart, there is no need for techniques; the sword itself is the technique.

The girl was the first to sense Xiao Zhan's change. From being awkward at first to being graceful after a hundred sword strikes, and now to being unpredictable and ambiguous, breaking all her moves with one sword, she was shocked again. This pervert's sword technique had reached the realm of no technique being better than any technique in a short time!

How could this be?

No technique doesn't mean there are no techniques but refers to being free from the constraints of techniques, making the techniques unpredictable and free.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's effortless appearance, whether out of anger or jealousy, the girl's anger flared up. Her sword technique suddenly changed, and the sword light shone brilliantly, with powerful sword qi exploding. At that moment, she no longer cared about anything else and used her ultimate technique, the "City-Enchanting Sword Technique" again.

"City-Enchanting Sword!"

The girl's Nirvana realm cultivation was fully unleashed, and the beautiful sword light, with countless variations, cut toward Xiao Zhan with an unstoppable force.

Facing this sword, Xiao Zhan's mind was calm. In an instant, the "Proud Dragon Heart Technique" was activated, and the star power and true essence energy in his acupoints and meridians turned golden. The sword heart in his brain domain shone brightly, and his body and sword moved with the sword heart, using a defensive sword technique.

"Impregnable as a Golden Wall!"

The sword was truly impregnable, making the girl's eyes blaze with anger. In her eyes, Xiao Zhan's cultivation was clearly not at the Nirvana realm, but the power of this sword technique was no less than hers, like a turtle shell. Especially seeing his confident expression, she felt like going crazy. She used her ultimate moves one after another, trying to kill Xiao Zhan with her sword.

Xiao Zhan was quite pleased. The "City-Enchanting Sword Technique" was indeed powerful, but he had received the War God's true essence and knew it inside and out. No matter what the girl did, he could handle it calmly, defending with an impregnable wall. He couldn't help but grin and said, "Miss, this is a huge misunderstanding. This young master absolutely did not peek at you bathing."

The girl angrily said, "Pervert, stop lying!"

Xiao Zhan loudly protested, "This young master has been practicing swords in the valley for a month and has never left. I was just meditating, and when I stood up, I accidentally stepped on a dry branch. Only then did I realize someone was bathing in the pool. Really, this young master absolutely did not peek!"

The girl's long sword continued to attack, and she angrily said, "If you didn't peek, why did you run? You must have been guilty! Today, this young lady will definitely kill you, this pervert, for the good of the people!"

Xiao Zhan's anger flared up, and he said with righteous indignation, "Where did I peek? I was looking openly! Besides, you undressed yourself; if I didn't look, I would be a fool."

"You!"

The girl was so angry that she was fuming, and she completely lost control. She shouted, "Pervert! I will kill you!"
