Chapter 632: Is it really this?
As Jiang Xiaobai disappeared, Jian Shisan, who had remained hidden in the shadows, followed him in an instant.
He was curious about what Jiang Xiaobai was planning to do.
But whatever the reason, he wasn’t going to let Jiang Xiaobai out of his sight.
He had paid an unknown price to get those three crystals.
His original intention was to use Jiang Xiaobai to distract others while he took care of business, then reclaim the items.
However, Jian Shisan never imagined that Jiang Xiaobai would turn out to be the biggest problem.
After some time passed, Jian Shisan was at a loss.
He now understood what Jiang Xiaobai was up to.
Because, Jiang Xiaobai had appeared on the outskirts of the city, in an open area.
“Come out. It’s better if we clear the air now,” Jiang Xiaobai said, hands folded behind his back, looking towards Jian Shisan’s direction.
Jian Shisan was startled.
He’d thought Jiang Xiaobai had merely sensed someone following him, but he never expected Jiang Xiaobai to pinpoint his exact location.
This was his biggest secret!
His stealth skill belonged to the divine level, it was his greatest treasure.
It was invincible even compared to his swordsmanship.
Since he began using it until now, he had never been discovered. And now, it was thwarted by this man?
Nonetheless, since he’d been found out, Jian Shisan saw no reason to continue hiding.
He stepped out of the shadows, staring intently at Jiang Xiaobai, as if trying to see through him.
“The item, must be handed over to me.”
Jian Shisan, looking at Jiang Xiaobai, extended his hand.
Jiang Xiaobai responded with a light chuckle, took out the storage ring containing the crystals, but did not hand it to Jian Shisan, rather, he played with it in his hand.
“Let’s have a match. If you win, you get the item. If I win, I won’t ask for more, just one crystal.”
Jian Shisan was staggered, not expecting Jiang Xiaobai’s demand to be this?
If it’s just handing over one crystal, he could accept it.
Because he only needed two.
“Deal.”
It was evident that Jian Shisan was a man of temperament. After speaking, he drew his long sword.
Jiang Xiaobai also was straightforward, whipping out his divine long sword and charging at Jian Shisan.
In just a moment, both men were locked in combat.
Flashes of sword light illuminated their surroundings!
In the black night, their movements were invisible. Only the countless white flashes of sword light could be seen fluttering in the darkness.
Within seconds, the duo was able to pull off more than a hundred moves.
Their speed was at its peak.
From previous battles, Jiang Xiaobai realized that Jian Shisan was an exceptional talent.
If such a figure was in the War God spacetime, he might mistake him as one of the top three thousand masters!
He had to remember, Jiang Xiaobai possesses the Purple Sky Divine Soul and the Purple Sky Divine Power.
Even more, he has reached the peak of achievement at every realm!
In theory, he should be able to easily deal with Jian Shisan based just on his realm, not to mention the other skills he has in his bag of tricks.
However, without using the Nine Heavens Star Blade technique, Jiang Xiaobai could only stalemate with Jian Shisan.
He was unsure if his opponent was using any battle techniques, but the fact that he could reach this level revealed Jian Shisan’s monstrous talent.
Clang Clang Clang!
The harsh sound of metal clashing echoed in the desolate surroundings, their combat was intense.
For every move Jiang Xiaobai made, Jian Shisan could perfectly parry, and vice versa.
This way, the battle would be meaningless.
So, Jiang Xiaobai was the first to withdraw, swiftly retreating.
“If we keep going like this, we won’t be able to declare a winner till next year. Don’t you have any martial arts skills or sword techniques? Why aren’t you using them?” Jiang Xiaobai said, frustrated.
Typically, the opponents he encountered would have started using other tactics by this point.
But Jian Shisan was like a log, if you don’t use, I won’t use.
Even if it meant death, he wouldn’t use it!
In this respect, he was much like Jiang Xiaobai.
“This way, it’s enjoyable,” Jian Shisan said indifferently.
His long sword was pointing at an angle towards the ground, emanating waves of strange metallic luster.
“You…you’re very strong. I’ve never come across a master such as you. Even the Great Achievement cultivators aren’t your match.”
“It’s been a long while since I’ve fought this way.”
“Let’s continue!” Jian Shisan exclaimed, raising his long sword ready to charge again.
But Jiang Xiaobai stopped him.
“Wait, wait, wait, we can’t just keep fighting without reasoning, let’s move onto our finishing moves!” Jiang Xiaobai shouted.
Jian Shisan paused, considering something, and finally nodded.
Then, he raised his sword and slashed towards Jiang Xiaobai.
An earth-shattering sword aura erupted like a stellar moon, illuminating the entire sky.
Seeing that sword aura, Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed, “I’m going nuts!”
Nine Heavens Star Blade technique?
And it’s at the peak of the second layer, not far from the third level!
God damn it!
How could something this coincidental happen?
Before he could finish his thought, Jian Shisan’s sword aura was already assaulting him. Left with no alternative, Jiang Xiaobai swung his own sword.
His own star sword aura, in terms of power and mysteriousness, was far more terrifying than Jian Shisan’s.
He easily crushed Jian Shisan’s sword aura.
After that, the two men locked eyes, both falling into a silent trance.
Honestly, neither of them expected this kind of outcome.
In this vast sea of people, considering that Jiang Xiaobai doesn’t even belong to this world, was meeting each other a matter of destiny?
Maybe…
“You…how do you know this sword technique?” Eventually, Jian Shisan spoke first and became more vigilant. “If you think I stole this technique, let me reassure you, I…”
“Don’t worry, I’m not thinking that way. Tell me, how do you come to know this sword technique?” Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand and said.
Jian Shisan hesitated for a moment before finally revealing the whole story.
Turns out, his younger sister and him were orphaned at a young age. One day, while practicing, they simultaneously unlocked this mysterious sword technique. In addition to the sword technique, they also acquired cultivation methods and more.
What’s even more remarkable is their immense talent for cultivation. In just over a decade, they’ve reached their current levels. Their demonstrated strength is far beyond that of ordinary geniuses!
“In theory, you both should go to some sect to cultivate, there you’d have more resources,”
“And with your talent, you’d definitely receive treatment fit for the chosen ones,” Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows.
Despite his limited understanding of this world, after interacting with many students at Azure Dragon Academy, he was able to deduce the strengths of those geniuses.
But compared to Jian Shisan and his sister, the geniuses were nothing.
These two were absolute prodigies!
At this moment, Jian Shisan responded with a bitter smile and shake of his head.
“That’s what I want too. But, we’ve been hunted.”
“Don’t know why, but ever since we started cultivating, we’ve been targeted.”
“We’re not welcomed by any sect.”
