Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Daoist Xuanji held the saber and spun it like the wind. First, she drunkenly performed a beautiful sword dance. Then she bowed slightly and held the saber vertically in front of her with both hands. “Watch carefully!”

As soon as she finished speaking, her swaying and unsteady figure instantly fell into stagnation. It gave people the feeling that she had suddenly disappeared from the deck, leaving only a stone statue without any aura.

When Ye Jingtang saw this scene, the contempt in his eyes disappeared. He used the method of the Heaven Equaling Saber to predict Daoist Xuanji’s movements, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

Whoosh- Whoosh-

The rainy night fell silent.

Daoist Xuanji stood at the bow of the boat. Her black hair and white dress fluttered in the wind, maintaining the same rhythm as the rain and waves. Her body didn’t move at all, but she slowly became the focus of the night. It was as if a storm were quietly building up in the night.

After Daoist Xuanji brewed for a moment, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then she suddenly exerted strength at her feet.

Boom!

The bow of the 30-foot-long boat instantly sank a few feet.

Water splashed more than ten feet high around the boat until the entire stern of the boat rose out of the water.

Swoosh!

Then a white figure soared into the sky from the bow of the boat. In the blink of an eye, she had already jumped 100 feet away with the saber. The saber spun with the person, and the five-foot-long saber containing terrifying qi slashed at the surging waves with the awe-inspiring momentum.

Boom!

Amidst the thunderous sound, the waves exploded in the night. From afar, it looked like a waterfall had appeared out of thin air on the lake.

The waterfall crashed outward, shattering the endless waves that were surging over. In an instant, it turned into a giant wave that was dozens of feet tall and surged out for dozens of feet before breaking.

The aftershock spread out, creating an endless fan-shaped ripple on the lake! “Chirp?!” Such a terrifying commotion made the bird shrink its neck in shock. Ye Jingtang’s pupils constricted slightly, and surprise appeared in his eyes. After all, if this earth-shattering saber strike slashed at the boat, it would probably not be a problem to shatter the entire boat.

With Ye Jingtang’s current foundation, he could also do this, and he would even be faster.

But when he used a saber, he would supplement it with top-notch qi circulation methods. Experts would be able to recognize his moves at a glance, and there was a possibility that they could break his moves.

As for Daoist Xuanji’s saber strike, there was no technique. It was all strength. It was a simple horizontal slash that couldn’t even be called a saber technique, but it produced effects beyond the reach of ordinary people. It was impossible without the foundation of ‘all schools of thought are connected and flawless inside and outside’.

It was also at this moment that Ye Jingtang understood why Daoist Xuanji ranked third among the Eight Chiefs.

In terms of saber attainments, Daoist Xuanji was definitely inferior to Xuanyuan Chao, and there was probably still a gap in strength.

But Xuanyuan Chao was only a Martial Chief when he used a saber.

As for Daoist Xuanji, even if she had a fox tail, she could probably use it as a meteor hammer to reach the summit of the mountain.

Although their rankings were not far apart, they could no longer be classified as the same type of martial artist.

When Ye Jingtang saw such extraordinary elegance and looked at Daoist Xuanji, it was as if he were looking at a thousand-foot-high snowy peak standing in front of him. He was about to say, ‘Good martial arts!’ But before he could say anything, his expression froze.

(0-0)?

After Daoist Xuanji made a move with the saber, she twirled it and placed the five-foot-long saber behind her back. She wanted to put away the saber, but because the saber was too long, it looked like she was carrying an antenna on his back.

Originally, Daoist Xuanji’s plan was to show off the elegance of an expert and land on the bow of the boat gracefully.

But she was drunk, and the light was dim. Perhaps she was seeing three boats and couldn’t tell which one was real. She stepped into the air a few feet away from the deck and immediately disappeared from sight.

Plop!

Water splashed.

?!

Ye Jingtang was stunned for a moment before running to the edge of the deck to check. He saw Daoist Xuanji floating on the lake with a calm expression, pretending to be natural. She said casually, “I drank too much, and it’s a little hot. 1’11 take a bath. You should rest first.”

Although she was pretending very well, Ye Jingtang wasn’t blind. He could still tell the difference if she had fallen or jumped down. He was speechless. After some thought, he said, “I know you’re an expert. You were just careless after drinking too much. I won’t laugh at you. Come up quickly. Don’t catch a cold.” Splash-

Daoist Xuanji looked like she was drunk, but she refused to admit that she had made a mistake and lost her footing. She continued swimming in the water, her posture rather graceful. “1 told you I’m fine. Go rest. I’ll come up later.” “Oh… Huh? Where’s the saber?”

“Saber? What saber?”

The bird was speechless. It spread its wings and tilted its head, not knowing what to say.

Ye Jingtang rubbed his forehead and dove into the water to search the lake.

Fortunately, the lake wasn’t very deep, and the boat didn’t drift far. Soon, he picked up the saber stuck at the bottom of the lake.

When he surfaced, Daoist Xuanji had already jumped onto the boat while he wasn’t around.

Ye Jingtang breathed a sigh of relief and flew onto the deck. He saw the drenched Daoist Xuanji lying on the mat in the cabin with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

The bird was standing at the door, afraid that Sister Demoness would turn over and flatten it. It didn’t dare to go in and raised its wings slightly. “Chirp chirp…” It probably wanted Ye Jingtang to help her take off her wet clothes and sleep in the middle so that it could sleep beside him.

How could Ye Jingtang take off Daoist Xuanji’s clothes? He ignored it. After looking at her a few times, he closed the door and continued to ponder over saber techniques.

Recalling that Daoist Xuanji’s saber move just now didn’t have any technique but was comparable to a top move, Ye Jingtang pondered over the move and movements again. He kept feeling that there was a world of difference between them. Daoist Xuanji’s saber move was a saber move, but he was clearly still studying how to make his saber move look fancy and unique.

After practicing for a while, Ye Jingtang stopped. He put the five-foot-long saber aside and sat cross-legged in the rain with the Hornless Dragon Saber placed horizontally on his knees. He closed his eyes and pondered seriously. He was no longer obsessed with the appearance of exerting strength. Instead, he thought about how to make the same saber move undergo a qualitative change. Whoosh-

The rainy night was silent, and the lamp in the center of the lake was like a bean.

The bird was squatting at the door to avoid the rain. It didn’t disturb Ye Jingtang, who was sitting cross-legged in the rain. But after some time, there was a hint of heat at the bow of the boat.

“Chirp?” The bird’s eyes were full of confusion. It jumped forward to look, only to see Ye Jingtang’s face turn red and a white mist appear on his head.. He looked like he was being cooked again…
