Chapter 60 - So... What Is the Name of the Sword Technique?

“So, what exactly is the name of this set of sword techniques?!”

Looking at Lei Shao’s departing figure, Feng Xia did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Lei Shao and Liu Chuanyuan were two old men who behaved like two awkward kids. Could it be that they both thought that the other party would name the sword technique, so in the end, it became a situation where no one thought about it?

“Speaking of which, Lei Shao really did hide his real strength.”

Feng Xia rubbed his chin and revealed a thoughtful expression. “No, it doesn’t seem like he’s hiding his real strength. Instead, his cultivation is constantly fluctuating. When he’s weak, he’s only at the Inception Realm, but when he’s strong, it even feels like he’s on the same level as a veteran Dao Platform Realm cultivator.”

He recalled the first time he met First Elder Lei Shao. This rough-looking middle-aged man exerted pressure that was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Then, he recalled Lei Shao mentioning just now that he had once touched the realm of the Dao Platform …

Feng Xia made a vague guess about the situation.

Then, he thought of the Sixth Elder, Liu Chuanyuan.

“I remember Bai Canghai mentioning that when Liu Chuanyuan and Lei Shao were young, they were known as the Thousand Autumn Valley Dual Heroes. They were thought to be the people who could lead the Thousand Autumn Valley on its way to revival.”

Now that he thought about it, if the two of them were at the eighth level of the Divine Power Realm, they might be considered experts in the entire Xuanwu Kingdom. However, they were still far from the revival of the Thousand Autumn Valley…

“Lei Shao seems to have been injured previously, which is why his cultivation base is unstable. Sometimes it’s high, sometimes it’s low. Then, what’s the reason why Liu Chuanyuan hasn’t forged a Dao Platform?”

For a moment, Feng Xia was even more curious about their past.

However, he also knew that now was not the right time to investigate this. With the battle approaching, everyone had their own responsibilities, even an outsider like him.

“Looks like I can’t continue to relax.”

Feng Xia subconsciously narrowed his eyes. “The old Sect Master and the Sixth Elder are both in seclusion. The other elders of the Thousand Autumn Valley are also preparing for the battle…”

In the distance, Lei Shao’s surging sword energy erupted and whistled through the air, and it actually tore open an enormous hole in the thick light screen!

At the same time, Lei Shao’s figure flashed and appeared outside the wall of light.

Through the cracks on the wall of light, Feng Xia could even see the shocked faces outside the wall. It was as if they did not expect that the extremely strong Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation would be broken by force again!

“Lei Shao, how dare you?!”

An elder of the Five Elements Sect shouted.

However, what responded to him was Lei Shao’s indomitable sword!

Swish—

The next moment.

The Five Elements Sect elder widened his eyes and watched helplessly as his headless body lost its strength bit by bit and fell limply towards the back.

“Zhang Xiping, back when the Immortal Ancient Land opened, I saved your life three times and you swore on the spot that you would never invade the Thousand Autumn Valley in your lifetime. It seems like… you’ve completely forgotten about it.”

It was not until this elder fell to the ground and raised a large cloud of dust that Lei Shao flicked the long sword in his hand and said calmly, “Who’s next?”

Silence.

Dead silence.

The Five Elements Sect’s experts held their breaths as they looked at the tall figure. Their chests were filled with pressure and no one dared to answer for the moment.

It was too fast!

From Lei Shao’s sudden explosive appearance to Elder Zhang Xiping’s death, it had only been a short while. An elder at the eighth level of the Divine Power Realm had died just like that!

“Lei, Lei Shao! You, you, you… your injuries are all healed?!”

Finally, another elder within the Five Element Sect’s team shouted sternly, his voice trembling, “Even if your injuries have healed, it’s useless. Our Sect Master is nearby. You definitely won’t be able to escape!”

“Escape? Why should I escape?”

However, just as he finished speaking, Lei Shao’s round eyes locked onto this short and thin elder.

He snorted coldly and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Then, he raised the sword in his hand again.

“I… am here to kill!”

“Lei Shao! Don’t kill—”

Right then, a long movement tore through the air from afar. In an instant, the spiritual energy of the five elements of the world boiled over and turned into sabers, spears, swords, and halberds that filled the sky, wanting to kill Lei Shao in the middle of them!

The short and thin elder was overjoyed. “Sect Master, save me—”

Swish—

As the sword light touched his neck, it did not lose momentum as it headed straight for the Five Elements Sect Master in the distance!

“Five Elements Sect Master, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

First Elder Lei Shao laughed loudly, and a brilliant sword flower bloomed in the sky. He did not retreat, but advanced instead. His body moved with the sword, and a bright Sword-Heart bloomed with boundless light!

Kaboom—

The clash between two experts of the Dao Platform Realm was about to begin!

“With Lei Shao’s current strength, even if he can’t defeat the sect master, it won’t be a problem for him to retreat.”

After observing for a while, Feng Xia felt slightly relieved.

Lei Shao’s goal was not to fight to the death with the enemy, but to take advantage of the time before the final battle to cut down the enemy’s strength as much as possible so as to reduce the pressure on the Thousand Autumn Valley.

Therefore, if Lei Shao could not hold on any longer, he would naturally retreat.

It was as Feng Xia expected. After a few rounds of battle with the Five Elements Sect Master, Lei Shao suddenly slashed out with his sword, but then used the momentum to fly back. Soon, he returned to the wall of light of the array formation, jumped over the wall with his sword and came back while sweating profusely.

“Tsk, why do I feel that the Five Element Sect’s grand array formation is about to be reduced to being just a piece of decoration?”

Feng Xia subconsciously spat out a complaint.

Look, the old Sect Master split open the wall of light of the array formation with one strike. He killed three Dao Tai Realm cultivators with three strikes. Lei Shao also split open the wall of light with one strike and went out to kill two Five Elements Sect elders before retreating calmly.

Is your grand array formation useful at all?

“The Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation can be used to deal with other sects, but it’s actually too weak to use on the Thousand Autumn Valley.”

Lei Shao dropped down from the sky and his aura diminished rapidly. However, he did not care about it. Instead, he walked towards Feng Xia slowly and smiled. “The Thousand Autumn Valley is a sword cultivation sect and has always been famous for killing. Therefore, if I use my full strength, I’m still able to break the wall of light of the array formation.”

As he spoke, he could not help but sigh. “Unfortunately, there are only a few people who can do this. The period of time that the wall of light remained open is extremely limited. Otherwise, we might be able to move some disciples out…”

Feng Xia was also silent.

He was not a sword cultivator. The reason why he could defeat Lei Shao was mostly because of the suppression effect of his perfect Sword-Heart. However, the achievements of the Sword-Heart Integration were useless against the Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation.

Therefore, Lei Shao could break through the wall of light of the array formation, but he could not.

Zhu Youniang could bring people through the ground, but her strength was a little lacking. Under the suppression of the array formation, she would be exhausted after a few times. It was impossible to move many people away.

“Fellow practitioner Lei, do you have any medicinal pills with you?”

Feng Xia’s Sword-Heart glowed slightly, sweeping all the miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind. He suddenly grinned and said, “From Inception Realm to Divine Power Realm, then from Divine Power Realm to Divine Power Realm, all the medicinal pills used for cultivation… I want all of them!”
