Chapter 180 - I’ve Lost. I’ve Been Wrong All My Life

If they knew how powerful the Sword Drawing Technique was, from now on, the first thing they would do when they returned would be to have everyone in the sect practice the Sword Drawing Technique, regardless of what technique they used.

From this, it could be seen just how much shock and astonishment the sword had brought them.

Everyone exploded with chatter.

“I wonder if it’s still too late to start practicing the Sword Drawing Technique again.”

“If I had known that the Sword Drawing Technique had such power, I would have practiced it to the end no matter what.”

Xie Mingze’s mind was extremely chaotic. He had been famous for many years, but he had never experienced such a miserable moment. To people like them, the sword was like a living being.

Moreover, he was a sword fanatic, and he depended on the sword. He could not lose the sword no matter when or where.

Now, not only did he lose his sword, but it was also broken into two pieces. It could be said that his face had been trampled under his feet. Even though everyone’s attention was drawn to the Sword Drawing Technique, he still felt ashamed, as if a ray of light was on his back.

At this moment, there were still many questions in everyone’s mind.

When did Gu Xi strike? How did he turn the entire battle situation around with one strike? The sword technique he used was really a low-grade Sword Drawing Technique, and not some similar divine level cultivation technique…

All sorts of questions lingered in their minds. Everyone’s gazes were fixed on Gu Xi, as if they wanted see through his soul.

As for the Tiangang Sword Sect members, they were in a daze and had suffered a huge blow. They still had not recovered from their shock.

A single strike!

He had defeated Xie Mingze with just a single strike.

Gu Xi looked at Xie Mingze’s stubborn gaze and nodded. “It’s true. It’s the Sword Drawing Technique.”

Xie Mingze was born with a Sword Bone. He used the sword to enter the Dao. He could be said to be a genius of the era. He was peerless and was even predicted to be the person who had the highest chance of becoming a Sword Immortal in history.

As a result, he forgot to eat and sleep. He practiced the sword day and night and became obsessed with the sword. In less than a hundred years, he had already walked a path that others would never be able to complete in their entire lives.

It could be said that Xie Mingze was the representative of the way of the sword. He was an existence that everyone thought highly of, and he was known as the chosen one of the generation.

No one had expected that such a thing would happen.

Not only him, but everyone also found it hard to accept this outcome.

Frustration and disappointment appeared on Xie Mingze’s face. All kinds of negative emotions appeared on his face. He was the chosen one of the generation, and like the others, they were completely defeated. He looked like a completely different person from before.

“I didn’t expect that I would actually lose to the Sword Drawing Technique…”

Gu Xi observed Xie Mingze’s expression. His hand was actually trembling. This was a sign that his Sword Heart had collapsed. Now, all of Xie Mingze’s beliefs had been overturned.

Such a person was obsessed with swords. If his Sword Heart collapsed, he would probably never be able to pick up a sword again in the future.

Gu Xi’s expression was indifferent, without any sympathy. After all, Xie Mingze wanted his to kill him.

“I’ve already said it before. The Great Dao is simple. So what if I use the Sword Drawing Technique? The one who defeated you was never the Sword Drawing Technique, but my Dao!”

Gu Xi’s cold voice reverberated in the world, like the last straw that crushed a camel. Xie Mingze’s hands trembled even more violently.

He had also said this before, but no one took it to heart. Now that he had said it again, it was like a resounding slap on everyone’s faces.

“Hahahaha!” Xie Mingze’s expression darkened. Suddenly, he threw his head back and laughed loudly, as if he had gone mad.

The power of this sword was so great that it not only shattered Xie Mingze, who was regarded as a legend, but also the pride of their Tiangang Sword Sect!

As a result, his Dao Heart was defeated, and he was no longer able to face the world.

“I’m really muddle-headed. I’ve practiced the sword for so long, but I’m extremely stupid!”

“In this world, no matter how good the sword technique is, it can only be achieved by the brilliant way of the sword.”

“Even the Sword Drawing Technique can bring out the strongest power.”

“Anything can be used as a sword. This is the true way of the sword…”

Xie Mingze seemed to have understood something, but at the same time, he seemed to not have understood anything at all. He muttered to himself and immersed himself in his own world.

On the other hand, the onlookers were confused.

Compared to the pain on his body and his dignity being trampled under Gu Xi’s feet, what Xie Mingze cared more about was his own Dao.

He had always thought that his Sword Heart was stable and what he lacked was just an opportunity. In the end, he found out that all his efforts were in vain.

“It’s a pity that I realized it too late! It’s too late.”

Xie Mingze revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. He felt that the first half of his life had become a joke.

His gaze landed on Gu Xi. There was no hatred in it. Instead, it was filled with admiration.

Logically speaking, Xie Mingze would never have looked at Gu Xi like that if Gu Xi had made a fool of him in public and even defeated him in one move.

However, Gu Xi only felt a sense of sincerity and did not have any false intentions.

Xie Mingze bowed deeply to Gu Xi. “Thank you, fellow Daoist, for waking up the dreamer with your words.”

The sudden turn of events left everyone dumbstruck.

How did this Gu Xi turn into a ‘fellow Daoist’??

One had to know that this was a life and death situation! The atmosphere earlier was filled with tension. Those who did not know better would have thought that they were sparring and exchanging pointers.

Gu Xi looked a little guilty as well. He did not know what Xie Mingze had imagined.

What Sword Dao? That was all nonsense. Although it was a Sword Drawing Technique, it was a Sword Drawing Technique that had been fixed after the System had extracted the flaws.

When the System made a move, it would definitely be of high quality. Right now, this Sword Drawing Technique was comparable to a god-level existence, and it had unlimited potential.

In addition, the System had deduced Xie Mingze’s flaws through reverse reasoning, which was why it was able to defeat him in one move.

Otherwise, if it were any other time, Gu Xi would never have been able to achieve such a feat.

“I’ve lost. I’ve been so wrong all my life. I’ve always been on the wrong path from the very beginning. To think that I thought I was extraordinary, but I never thought that I would end up being a joke from the start.”

“Now, I have no choice but to face it, no matter how hard it is. Since it’s a joke, then it has to end completely.”
