Chapter 769: Originally, the Seven Sword Immortals Also Like Playing Flying High?

Clattering…

At this moment, Teng Shan Hai couldn't help but clatter his teeth, half from anger, half from humiliation.

"Xiao Shengun!" he roared, intending to summon the spear that had already recognized him as its master.

Inside Xu Xiaoshou's Soul Palace, he immediately felt the world's power violently fluctuate. It was Xiao Shengun struggling fiercely. At this moment, his evolved Soul Palace was faintly struggling to suppress Xiao Shengun's rebellion.

"Better to live a life of ignominy than die with honor; why are you so ungrateful?" Xu Xiaoshou cursed in frustration, then pulled out the You Si Sword, aiming to stab it into Teng Shan Hai's head.

"Stop!" a delicate shout echoed from afar. As soon as the words fell, Xu Xiaoshou felt his hand, gripping the You Si Sword, losing control of the fierce sword's sudden surge of raging intent.

In that critical moment, Teng Shan Hai seized the opening, swiftly pulling back and retreating at high speed. At this moment, he admitted he was a bit cowardly…

That was the You Si Sword! How could Teng Shan Hai not know that the You Si Sword was with Xu Xiaoshou? This very sword had completely shattered Yi's Void Body's recovery ability. If he were stabbed by it too, wouldn't he also be gone?

As for whether the Cang Shen Armor could withstand a blow from the You Si Sword, Teng Shan Hai hadn't even considered the possibility of resisting it head-on. The Cang Shen Armor had gaps too!

Just now, Xu Xiaoshou's overhead strike seemed aimed at his head, but the boy's eyes were clearly fixed on the eye sockets, a gap in his Cang Shen Armor! What a malicious person…

On the other side, having suppressed the You Si Sword's rampage, Xu Xiaoshou couldn't help but look back with surprise. "Who's there?"

After gaining the recognition of Ba Zun'an, this fierce sword had followed him. Recognition was certainly a factor. But who was this person who could emerge and somewhat control the fierce sword that had recognized him, even from a distance?

"It's her…" The graceful figure flying from afar was none other than the sword-wielding woman Xu Xiaoshou had seen in his spiritual sense, the one who had confronted the Void Ghost Beast at the trade fair. Rao Yaoyao!

Rao Yaoyao's face was filled with anger. She had never imagined that the one to disrupt tonight's plan would be such a junior.

A sudden young man who somehow acquired a Saint Statue and completely messed up the Saint God Temple's arrangements.

What she found most hateful was that two consecutive heads of the Six Divisions had been pushed into a disadvantage due to various reasons. The most severe one even had his physical body destroyed… These were Void Cultivators!

Rao Yaoyao felt her face burning with shame. The Saint God Temple's reputation was almost ruined by Yi and Teng Shan Hai's actions.

She didn't know how these two individuals managed to do all this. If it were her, as a Void Cultivator, being beaten like this by a junior, she would simply draw her sword and commit suicide on the spot!

"You are Xu Xiaoshou?" As she approached, Rao Yaoyao looked across the space. Her beautiful eyes surveyed the young man from head to toe, finally focusing on the nine-dragon phantom behind him, vaguely finding the Saint Statue familiar.

Xu Xiaoshou sneered. At this moment, he was empowered by the Saint Statue, with holy power protecting his body. What was there to fear from this woman opposite him, who was merely a Void Cultivator? He had already fought two Void Cultivators!

At this point, the power of the Saint Statue was even burning at its peak, showing no signs of weakening, and Xu Xiaoshou felt he could fight two more. This one opponent wasn't even worth mentioning.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoshou immediately flicked his sleeve, tilted his head back, and puffed out his chest.

"I don't change my name when I travel, nor my surname when I sit down…" "Saint Servant, Xu Xiaoshou!"

This time, Xu Xiaoshou, holding the You Si Sword, for the first time did not shrink back or use an alias when questioned by a powerful figure. After speaking, he still felt unsatisfied and added, "My master is Sang Qiye, and my grandmaster is Long Rongzhi. Who are you? State your name, for my fierce sword does not slay nameless Void Cultivators!"

Rao Yaoyao didn't think the person in front of her didn't recognize her. This boy was clearly seeing red, completely out of control.

And… Long Rongzhi? How dare he directly address a saint by name?

Rao Yaoyao knew. Since the news of Sang Qiye joining the Saint Servants occasionally leaked decades ago, the Saint Palace's Half-Saint Jinzhao had already cut ties with his apprentice.

The Saint God Temple had also investigated. But for decades, Half-Saint Jinzhao had been disheartened and was now entirely devoted to the path of alchemy.

Xu Xiaoshou's words were clearly meant to divert trouble, escalating the conflict and implicating another unrelated Half-Saint, making the situation even more severe.

"Nine Dragons Burning Ancestor…" At this, Rao Yaoyao understood why the Saint Statue behind Xu Xiaoshou looked familiar.

But she could also immediately surmise that this Saint Statue was not a gift from Half-Saint Jinzhao, but merely an inherited legacy from his master, Sang Qiye.

Xu Xiaoshou had merely inherited Half-Saint Jinzhao's Saint Statue and had no relation whatsoever to that reclusive saint devoted to alchemy.

The Saint Palace was the training ground for legitimate saints on the continent. So, how could it be associated with an evil organization like the Saint Servants?

"Little brat, you're not old, but your tone is quite big." Rao Yaoyao drew the Xuancang Divine Sword from her back, looking amusedly at Xu Xiaoshou in the distance. "After beating two Void Cultivators, you truly think you're capable? You want to fight me?"

The Xuancang Divine Sword pointed. Sword patterns cracked in the void. A surging sword intent raged, like a thunderclap from flat ground or a mountain torrent and sea tide, immediately pulling back and shattering Xu Xiaoshou's imposing aura that could swallow mountains and rivers.

"Received disdain, passive points, 1." Although the info bar seemed to be using psychological warfare, it incited Xu Xiaoshou to move forward.

But at that moment, pointed at by that woman, Xu Xiaoshou truly couldn't help but feel a hint of… cowardice from the bottom of his heart!

"Woman" he kept calling her… But he understood, this was a Sword Immortal!

Changing the gender would mean the newcomer would be Gou Wuyue or Mei Siyin. Even though Xu Xiaoshou had activated the Saint Statue, he wasn't so arrogant as to think he could stand on par with a Sword Immortal.

Talking big was fine, and thinking about it was also fine. But to truly be challenged by a pointing sword, his innermost thoughts couldn't help but be exposed.

Xu Xiaoshou had indeed thrashed two Void Cultivators. But these two, one underestimated him carelessly, and the other insulted a saint and pointed at a saint.

The former was defeated by surprise. The latter was because the Saint's will could not be defiled, thus guiding Xu Xiaoshou's action.

Xu Xiaoshou appeared arrogant, but his mind was clear as a mirror. Outsiders might be intimidated and unaware of his true capabilities, but didn't he know his own limits?

If he truly believed that activating the Saint Statue meant he could freely abuse Void Cultivators, Xu Xiaoshou felt he might be dead the next second.

But just as he wanted to retreat from his heart, the fierce You Si Sword in his hand conveyed a sense of unyielding defiance.

"Buzz—" A sword hum arose in the void, and the fierce sword's demonic energy overflowed greatly. Xu Xiaoshou was surprised.

This situation seemed familiar to him. Back when the Yanmang appeared, everyone tried to draw swords but failed.

Gu Qing'er's famous sword, the Peerless Enchantress, from the Sword Tomb, with a mere trick, used its sword pressure to suppress the Yanmang, which was also a famous sword of its rank, forcing the Yanmang to shoot into the sky.

Even the struggling saint's restraints couldn't quite hold it down. This demonstrated that famous swords had spirits, vying with each other and refusing to be inferior.

And if it were an ordinary sword, no matter how sharp it appeared before the fierce You Si Sword, it probably wouldn't elicit such a reaction from the You Si Sword.

Because the strong disdain challenges from the weak. But now, with Rao Yaoyao pointing her long sword, the You Si Sword reacted so violently, which could only mean one thing.

This, at the very least, must be a spiritual sword of the same level as one of the Five Divine Artifacts of Chaos, right?

Xu Xiaoshou looked at the long sword, momentarily dazed. He quickly broke free from the divine sword's influence, frowning as he said, "I can fight you, but what sword is that? State its name."

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the field was stunned. Everyone's gaze towards Xu Xiaoshou now held a hint of reverence.

Rao Yaoyao's delicate body trembled even more with anger. Not only was this young man arrogant, but he also uttered such wild words, insulting a Continental Sword Immortal in this manner.

"I can fight you…" What kind of outrageous words were these?

I, Rao Yaoyao, haven't even said I would bully the junior or overpower you. Your words, on the contrary, twist black into white and confuse right from wrong!

"A lewd scoundrel, a shameless wretch," Rao Yaoyao spat, raising the Xuancang Divine Sword in her hand, about to strike.

But at this moment, Xu Xiaoshou seemed to have thought of something. He soared higher, raising his fierce sword again, looking down from above, letting the You Si Sword glare disdainfully at the long sword in the opponent's hand.

The Xuancang Divine Sword sensed the provocation and vibrated violently. Rao Yaoyao almost lost control, nearly having the divine sword shaken from her grasp.

The Xuancang Divine Sword was a divine artifact used by the Saint God Temple to suppress fate; it wouldn't acknowledge a master, nor did it have a wielder.

Coming to the Eastern Region this time, Rao Yaoyao was merely delighted by the hunt, taking the opportunity to bring this divine sword out of the Saint God Temple to play around.

Setting aside everything else, just considering the status of the sword wielders. Even if Rao Yaoyao's cultivation was stronger, it couldn't compare to the noble status of Xu Xiaoshou as the wielder of the You Si Sword.

Both were among the Five Divine Artifacts of Chaos. One was recognized by the You Si Sword. The other merely borrowed the power of the Xuancang Divine Sword. The stronger and weaker were obvious at a glance.

"Hahahaha…" Xu Xiaoshou immediately burst into laughter, looking at the reaction of the long sword opposite him.

He found this world truly amusing. Even mighty artifacts like the Five Divine Artifacts of Chaos could be so childish, getting angry and huffing over a mere difference in height.

This was too amusing! Touching the You Si Sword's blade, Xu Xiaoshou could feel the excitement emanating from it.

This fierce sword was very proud. Xu Xiaoshou had wielded it for so long, and apart from the first time he met Ba Zun'an, when the You Si Sword showed extreme anger.

He had never felt any other emotion from the You Si Sword throughout his journey of wielding it.

Now, this broken sword was actually gloating just because it was a head taller than the opposing long sword. —It was even funnier than Zang Ku!

"If I'm not mistaken, your sword is the Xuancang Divine Sword, right?" Xu Xiaoshou said with a smile, revealing the origin of the long sword opposite.

He was no longer a bumpkin. Ever since he truly decided to embark on the path of ancient sword cultivation, Xu Xiaoshou had basically learned about all the famous spiritual swords on the continent.

The only sword that could elicit such a reaction from the fierce sword, had such an appearance, and matched the status of Rao Yaoyao, one of the Seven Sword Immortals, was the Xuancang Divine Sword of the Saint God Temple.

Rao Yaoyao on the other side was furious by this point. She truly hadn't expected Xu Xiaoshou to be so devious as to use the You Si Sword to suppress her on another level.

"Quiet!" Rao Yaoyao couldn't help but lower her gaze and scold the Xuancang Divine Sword.

But divine swords needed to be indulged. Faced with intense resistance, Rao Yaoyao couldn't help but raise herself another position higher, to satisfy the Xuancang Divine Sword's absurd will.

Xu Xiaoshou was amused and laughed, "How can you bear to scold such a fine Xuancang Divine Sword, one of the Five Divine Artifacts of Chaos? You can't do that. Unlike me, I only feel for my precious sword…"

As he spoke, Xu Xiaoshou glanced at the fierce sword, and his sword intent gently stroked its blade. "Buzz—" The You Si Sword vibrated comfortably, then its blade trembled wildly.

Everyone could see that this trembling was not the angry trembling of the Xuancang Divine Sword, but an expression of extreme pleasure.

"Sword Contemplation Art?" Rao Yaoyao froze for a moment, watching. This was indeed something she didn't know. Xu Xiaoshou, it seemed, had received the true inheritance of Ba Zun'an, the head of the Saint Servants.

"Hmph," On the other side, having completed his boastful act, Xu Xiaoshou's figure rose again, once more looking down from above.

The Xuancang Divine Sword had a spirit. It was fine without comparison, but once compared, it became even more enraged.

The key was that the sword intent emanating from the You Si Sword opposite was clearly a despicable one, conveying: "My master has the Sword Contemplation Art, yours doesn't… Oh, sorry, I forgot you don't even have a master."

"Buzz!" At that moment, the Xuancang Divine Sword became even angrier. When it got angry, Rao Yaoyao also got angry.

At this moment, Rao Yaoyao almost regretted why she had brought the Xuancang Divine Sword out of the Saint God Temple. The key was that she also understood it wasn't the Xuancang Divine Sword's fault, but rather Xu Xiaoshou and the You Si Sword opposite.

These two things were too disgusting. Rao Yaoyao had never seen such a sickening combination.

Simply… colluding! Birds of a feather!

They relentlessly latched onto the Xuancang Divine Sword's unwillingness to be inferior to another sword… even though it was a trait all spiritual swords shared, they somehow turned it into a ridiculous quirk!

But the Xuancang Divine Sword was accustomed to being pampered, and Rao Yaoyao couldn't truly just scold it.

Before striking, she really had to satisfy this broken sword's unreasonable demand again—raise her figure, raise the sword's position!

"Hehe, playing 'who's higher', are we?" Xu Xiaoshou saw this scene and laughed so hard he doubled over, saying gleefully, "You're one of the Seven Sword Immortals, how can you play 'fly high' with such a little brat, as you called me?"

As he spoke, Xu Xiaoshou flew even higher, making the You Si Sword even higher.

Rao Yaoyao couldn't take it anymore and drew her sword, ready to strike. But Xu Xiaoshou pointed the You Si Sword, adopting an expression that seemed to say, "Xuancang Divine Sword, are you backing out? If you can't play, just surrender."

The divine sword vibrated furiously and suddenly broke free from Rao Yaoyao's hand, where she had been unwilling to raise her figure and only wanted to kill, and soared high into the air.

Rao Yaoyao was shocked! She truly couldn't imagine a divine sword being played with like this; this was just the lowest form of provocation!

Was it just because it was the You Si Sword opposite? You never showed any emotions normally! Was it really necessary???

Most importantly, the precedent of Teng Shan Hai's Xiao Shengun being taken was still fresh in her mind, and Xu Xiaoshou, empowered by the Nine Dragons Burning Ancestor Saint Statue, was not someone she could dispatch with a single sword stroke.

Therefore, Rao Yaoyao couldn't sit idly by and watch the Xuancang Divine Sword gradually fall into the enemy's trap. If it were somehow lured away by an outsider while they were playing, she wouldn't be able to explain it back at the Saint God Temple.

So, Rao Yaoyao also flew up, grasping the sword.

"Now this is fun!" Xu Xiaoshou chuckled, "So, Sword Immortal Rao, you truly enjoy playing this children's 'fly high' game too? Well, this little brat will accompany you to the very end!"

After speaking, Xu Xiaoshou flew even higher, making the You Si Sword even higher.

Rao Yaoyao shivered with anger, also going higher. Xu Xiaoshou went higher again. Rao Yaoyao, with a dark expression, went higher yet again.

Xu Xiaoshou…Rao Yaoyao…

The crowd below: ??? At this point, everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.

Everyone thought that with the appearance of Rao Yaoyao, one of the Seven Sword Immortals, the scene would erupt into an earth-shattering battle.

They never expected the entire scene to devolve into such a ridiculous spectacle in an instant!

If it weren't for the fact that one side bore a Saint Statue and the other was one of the continent's Seven Sword Immortals, and both wielded one of the Five Divine Artifacts of Chaos… everyone would have burst out laughing.

And that was precisely the most crucial point. Xu Xiaoshou being young was one thing. But for Rao Yaoyao, of such high status, to engage in such an embarrassing and incredibly childish game in front of everyone?

Was this the legendary… Battle of Divine Artifacts? A showdown of peaks?
