The Sword-Heart Integration Reflects True Intentions

Hearing what Lei Shao said, Feng Xia’s heart skipped a beat.

He had originally thought that Lei Shao was a typical burly man. From his tone of voice to his moves, he had shown himself to be a rough man.

However, when Lei Shao turned to him at this moment, his eyes were extremely clear as he locked them onto Feng Xia. Where was the poor eyesight from before?

At the same time, Feng Xia recalled what Lei Shao had said earlier—

“I’ve long mastered the Sword-Heart Integration. My heart is my eye. Why would I need such a burdensome item?!”

At that time, he thought that Lei Shao was just being stubborn and refusing to admit to his flaw. However, thinking about it now, he was clearly telling the truth!

In an instant, Feng Xia was able to confirm his speculation. Lei Shao had been faking the bad eyesight!

“Then, fellow practitioner, when you hit that Sixth Elder just now…”

Feng Xia thought for a moment and asked in a low voice.

Lei Shao immediately sneered. “This guy is the happiest when he hears that my disciple is leaving the sect. So what if I give him a beating?”

Feng Xia was stunned for a moment before he started laughing bitterly.

Bai Canghai, oh, Bai Canghai!

To think that when he introduced his master, he said that his master was burly and direct, and that he was impulsive and would usually strike first before thinking about why he had to attack…

After all, Lei Shao had decades of experience that Bai Canghai did not have. Be it his life experience or the way he handled situations, he was on a much higher level than Bai Canghai.

“Veteran… sly old fox!”

Feng Xia glanced at the middle-aged man and secretly raised his guard. However, he still smiled widely and said, “Then, fellow practitioner Lei, why did you lure me here and send everyone else away?”

“First of all, whatever your purpose is, I must thank you.”

Lei Shao stared at Feng Xia for a long time before suddenly putting his hands together and bowing to Feng Xia. “I’ve already heard from my disciple about the encounter with the Hundred Nether Sect demoness. If you had not saved them, we still don’t know how many of them can return here.”

Feng Xia accepted the bow calmly.

Of course, Feng Xia reckoned that Bai Canghai was too embarrassed to tell Lei Shao that most of his injuries were actually caused by Feng Xia…

If Lei Shao knew, he would probably be slapping Feng Xia in the face instead of bowing.

However, Feng Xia was surprised by what happened next.

After Lei Shao bowed to him, he did not immediately straighten up. Instead, he lowered his body and bowed a second time!

“In addition, I’ve long wanted that child to leave the sect. However, as the First Elder, I can’t say it out loud. Moreover, that child had pretended not to notice all my previous hints.”

Feng Xia was stunned.

Lei Shao then waved his hands and removed a wine jar from his waistband. He drank a few mouthfuls and casually wiped his mouth before sitting on the ground and saying with a self-deprecating expression, “With that child’s talent, he can definitely go to a better sect and get better training. However, he was unwilling to do so just because of that incident in the past. I went down the mountain one day and happened to find him by the roadside. He was about to starve to death, so I bought a few buns for him.”

“Thousand Autumn Valley will never be able to make a comeback. If he remains here, he’ll just be wasting his talent and his life for no reason.”

“Fellow practitioner Lei, you should have more confidence in everything. Who can predict the future?” Feng Xia shook his head and chuckled.

“No, there are some things you may not know, fellow practitioner.”

Lei Shao hesitated for a moment and scanned the surroundings again. After confirming that there was no one nearby, he lowered his voice and said, “Fellow practitioner, think carefully. Who is the biggest beneficiary of the Thousand Autumn Valley’s fall from its peak overnight? Will this beneficiary… allow the Thousand Autumn Valley to prosper again?”

“The greatest beneficiary of the fall of the Thousand Autumn Valley …”

Feng Xia had only just opened his mouth when a noun jumped into his mind, causing him to pale involuntarily. “Wait, fellow practitioner Lei, you can’t be talking about—”

“Fellow practitioner, just know it in your heart.”

Lei Shao pointed at the ground, indicating to Feng Xia that it was the end of the topic. “After all, the land everywhere belongs to the king.”

As he spoke, he took another big gulp of wine and then got up from the ground. “Apart from what we just talked about, there’s one last thing I need from you…”

Swish, swish, swish—

Lei Shao raised his hand to his waist and then pointed his sword at Feng Xia. “After saying so much, your background is still unknown. Whether or not to let you stay… depends on the sword in my hand!”

Without thinking, Feng Xia clenched his fingers into a fist and brazenly punched out, tearing through the air in front of him!

After spending a few months in the Ancient Forsaken Land, although Feng Xia had not opened his Mystical Realm, under the nourishment of countless Essence light balls, his physique could be considered shockingly strong.

As Feng Xia punched out, a faint light appeared on his fist, as if it contained a rumbling thunder that erupted in a flash!

Clang—

Feng Xia’s punch fell on Lei Shao’s sword, causing his palm to tremble violently. His grip on the sword loosened and he almost could not hold onto his sword!

Lei Shao was not shocked by what happened. Instead, he was delighted and said in surprise, “What terrifying physical strength! However, fellow practitioner, why don’t you show your true abilities? When it comes to my sword, you will suffer greatly if you underestimate it!”

Feng Xia said nothing. “…”

On what basis did you say that I did not show my true abilities?

The moment Lei Shao finished speaking, he suddenly leaned back and then flicked the sword in his hand forward like a curved moon. The movement was silent, but filled with terrifying strength!

It was the Thousand Autumn Valley Secret Technique’s Blue Moon Swift Sword Technique!

“Is this the damn Blue Moon Swift Sword Technique…”

Feng Xia almost choked after taking just one look.

On the way to the Thousand Autumn Valley, Bai Canghai had introduced him to the three secret sword techniques of the Thousand Autumn Valley—

The Spring Autumn Sword Technique, the Blue Moon Swift Sword Technique, and the Tyrant Thunder Killing Sword Technique!

The three sword techniques presented themselves in three different ways.

The techniques were strange, sly and strong respectively!

The Spring Autumn Sword Technique placed emphasis on the swift changes of the sword strokes and the strange patterns it presented.

The Blue Moon Swift Sword Technique was about the slyness of sword moves. In the midst of everything, it silently killed the enemy without a trace.

The last one, the Tyrant Thunder Killing Sword Technique, was about using the most majestic strength to finish off the opponent!

Apart from these, the Thousand Autumn Valley also had other ultimate techniques, but everything else was inferior to these three sword techniques.

Bai Canghai only did a brief introduction and did not directly demonstrate the sword moves for Feng Xia. However, Feng Xia could more or less imagine the differences between the various sword techniques.

Still, no matter which sword technique it was, every technique became extremely violent in the hands of Bai Canghai’s master, as if there was only one sword technique left—

The Tyrant Thunder Killing Sword Technique!

The silver moon formed by the Blue Moon Swift Sword Technique was like a scythe in Lei Shao’s hand. It was thick and big, and every time he swung his sword, it fet like he was bombarding the ground!

“To be honest, physical strength is also my forte! If I hadn’t gone in the wrong direction when I was looking for my teacher, I might be a member of the Tyrant Mountain Sect now!”

No way, you can even go in the wrong direction while looking for your teacher?

Feng Xia felt as if there was something stuck in his throat.

Furthermore, Lei Shao did not turn around and hurry back after realizing he was going in the wrong direction. Instead, he simply entered the Thousand Autumn Valley. Could it be that he was a supporter of the legendary liner “Since I’m already here, no harm giving it a try.”?

However, it had become clear to him by now that Lei Shao might have been mistaken about something—

“When Bai Canghai reported to his master, he must have described me as a Dao Platform Champion. Until now, I’ve been using my fists to fight him head-on. I haven’t even used any magical power…”

In Lei Shao’s eyes, Feng Xia had been unwilling to show his true abilities.

“Fellow practitioner, quickly show me your true abilities! Let me see… if you have any ill intentions!”

Lei Shao laughed loudly and attacked again. A faint light appeared in his eyes, as if two divine swords had been unsheathed and were about to pierce through the air and into Feng Xia’s heart in the next moment!

The moment Feng Xia met those eyes, he was shocked from head to toe.

Lei Shao was clearly a burly man, but his eyes seemed to have turned into two gorgeous mirrors. They were crystal clear and reflected Feng Xia’s heart clearly.

It was as if no one could hide a secret from those eyes.

“Primeval… Green Lotus!”

In the nick of time, an ancient mist appeared in the dark depths of Feng Xia’s eyes.

In the vast primeval atmosphere, the green lotus appeared!

A huge green lotus slowly rotated and rose, taking root in the primeval atmosphere. At this moment, it bloomed brilliantly!

Crack!

Crack, crack, crack!

The sound of shattering glass came from the darkness. Lei Shao, who was about to pursue further, suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning. A trace of redness seeped out of the corner of his mouth as he looked at Feng Xia in disbelief.

“You… actually… cracked my Sword-Heart divine power?”

“Oh I see. Is this the divine power brought about by the Sword-Heart Integration?”

Feng Xia looked at the attribute light ball on the ground and nodded thoughtfully. At this moment, he could see the words “Sword-Heart” on the light ball.

He slowly walked forward and quietly absorbed the attribute light ball.

Many mysteries regarding the Ways of the Sword and the Sword-Heart surged into Feng Xia’s mind in an instant. However, it was all very messy and he needed to organize them properly at some point.

“The divine power brought about by the Sword-Heart Integration is also a kind of soul divine power. It can reflect one’s heart and nature, so it can be said to be a rather incisive divine power.”

“Lei Shao probably wants to use this divine power to see through my heart and check if I have any ill intentions. Unfortunately, he encountered my Primeval Green Lotus…”

Feng Xia smiled at the thought.

“Fellow practitioner Lei, are you done?”

Feng Xia took a step forward and articulated his words clearly, “Now, it’s my turn to counterattack!”

Swoosh—

A similar blinding sword light appeared in his eyes!
