Martial Cultivator-Novel

"Really... shameless!"

Next to the plaza, a cultivator seriously could not help but blurt it out.

Cultivators who were able to practice cultivation all considered themselves to have transcended the secular world and that they not ordinary people. Naturally, they had a special sense of pride. According to their pride, they could lose or even die when facing the enemy. But there were many people who could not do something as shameful as this. At least, they could not do it in public.

But, how could they have known that Chen Chao had survived deep in the mountains these few years by licking blood off the edge of a knife. In order to survive, forget about this unglamorous move to dodge the flying swords, he would do even more shameless things than this.

There was nothing more precious than life in this world.

The Second Prince looked at this scene with some helplessness. He did not know much about the black-clad youth in front of him. He only knew that he used to be the warden of Tianqing County. After killing a few qi refiners, he caused a great commotion in the Divine Capital. Now, he was innocent and thought highly of by Lord Warden. He was to represent the warden faction in the upcoming Myriad Willow Convention. For this reason, an exception was even made to promote him to the position of deputy commander of the Left Guard.

As for other things, he only knew that this young man had some connection with the Xie Family, that was it.

Now, as he watched Chen Chao's response, although he did not show any emotion, he was somewhat disappointed. Chen Chao was representing the Great Liang Dynasty now. How would this behavior reflect on the face of the Great Liang Dynasty?

The Great Liang Dynasty's young people probably all had similar thoughts. It was just that they could not express them at the moment.

But, looking at the seemingly unassuming and youthful looking Eunuch Li, his eyes was full of praise at this moment. He was different from the youngsters here. He had experienced the biggest event in the Great Liang Dynasty in these few years and witnessed true life and death. He knew very well that in those kind of life and death situations, so-called face and pride held no meaning. The only meaningful thing was to stay alive, to survive until the end, that was the true winner.

So when everyone thought Chen Chao was despicable and shameless, Li Heng was very approving. If not for that the battle had yet to end at this moment, he would likely open his mouth to say something.

But in fact, not everyone present thought that Chen Chao was very shameless. At least, apart from Li Heng, Xie Nandu did not have such thoughts as well. She did not think about those things. When Chen Chao rolled on the ground to dodge the two flying swords, what she saw was not the embarrassing action, but the skin revealed by the cuts on the clothes.

It was covered in numerous scars

There was a trace of imperceptible heartache in Xie Nandu's eyes.

She had not heard Chen Chao talk about his past stories before, but it must have been an extremely difficult story.

……

……

The two flying swords returned without success, but they did not return next to He Yi. Instead, they continued hovering in mid-air.

Chen Chao got up from the ground and dusted himself off.

He Yi sighed with vicissitudes of emotion and said, "I've never met someone like you before."

Like everyone else, he also thought Chen Chao was very shameless. But other than the shamelessness, he also saw something else, which was that this youth in black had a survival instinct ingrained in his bones. He seemed willing to do whatever it took to stay alive.

What did this mean?

This meant that he was very hard to kill and also very difficult to defeat.

Chen Chao did not say anything. It was just that he suddenly looked up and his whole body fell backwards. Just nice at this moment, a flying sword flew past in front of him, skimming past his body. When he stood up straight again, he laughed and said, "You call me shameless, but you're actually even more shameless."

He Yi did not say anything, but his thoughts stirred, controlling several flying swords to all fly out. At this point, he did not want to waste any more time and began using his strongest moves.

The flying swords flew by at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind trails of afterimages in midair. The expressions of the youngsters present became extremely ugly. They all felt that they would also have no way of dealing with it if they had to face it themselves.

Especially for the young people of the Great Liang Dynasty, their expressions turned very ugly. They were already the young geniuses selected by the Great Liang Dynasty to participate in the Myriad Willow Convention. But when they saw what He Yi was capable of, they realized how far they were from the geniuses on the Latent Dragon List.

What was even more despairing was that there would not be only one genius from the Latent Dragon List participating in the Myriad Willow Convention this time.

For this Myriad Willow Convention, the major government offices of the Great Liang Dynasty had been preparing for ten years. Now that it was approaching, they seemed to have seen the outcome.

Xia Yuan's expression looked rather ugly. He looked at Wang Kuan, who was also a student of the academy. Although the latter did not react much, there was still a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Among the four students of the academy, Xie Nandu was only at Initial Realm and was destined not to make any contributions in the martial exam. Of the remaining three, two had already realized that they were unlikely to achieve good results. Could they only place hope on that person?

At this thought, Xia Yuan looked towards a quiet youth standing in the corner. He was dressed in white, with a very handsome face and a calm expression as he observed the scene.

At this evening's banquet, he had a very low sense of existence. Whether it was inside the Virtuous Sun Palace previously, or outside the Virtuous Sun Palace now, he never said a word or did anything. He seemed like an outsider, quietly watching everything as if it had nothing to do with him.

Before today, Xia Yuan had looked into his identity and learned that the youth came from a poor farming family on the outskirts of the Divine Capital. His name was Bai Qing, and when he was thirteen years old, he was noticed by a teacher from the academy while he was buying charcoal on the street. He was then brought into the academy to begin cultivation, all the way until now.

Bai Qing did not have any stories in the academy. He was a very quiet person who apart from attending classes and cultivating, rarely went anywhere else. He would only read books in his residence.

Being so quiet, it was unclear whether was it because of his poor family background, resulting in an inferiority complex, or simply because he did not want to talk to people.

But his talent in cultivation was extremely high. He had already stepped into Divine Trove Realm currently. Among the students under the age of 18 in the academy, there was no one with a higher realm than him.

Xia Yuan looked at Bai Qing, thinking about many things.

However, he neglected what was happening in the venue.

……

……

Several flying swords flew towards Chen Chao, but Chen Chao began walking towards He Yi who was opposite.

He did not attempt to capture the trajectory of the flying swords, but he managed to dodge one flying sword after another subsequently.

Although his posture was embarrassing, looking as if he was going to be struck by a flying sword at any moment, he did manage to dodge one sword after another while moving forward, forcefully narrowing the distance between the two by ten to twenty feet.

Moreover, following this trend, as long as he continued walking forward, he would definitely be able to reach He Yi and defeat him.

A touch of panic flashed across He Yi's eyes. With a thought, one flying sword broke away from the sword formation and flew towards Chen Chao from the flank. The flying sword was extremely fast and did not give anyone time to react.

He Yi's face suddenly turned pale.

His mind was sufficient to control those flying swords, but the previous speed was already the limit. At this moment, if he wanted the flying swords to go even faster, he would have to pay the price.

But he felt that it was worth it because it would help him win this battle and end this not-so-easy spar.

If the flying swords were already fast enough before, then at this very moment, the flying swords were swift to the extreme. It was already everything that he could do at this cultivation realm.

The onlookers were holding their breath and not missing a thing.

Li Heng suddenly frowned.

As the powerhouse who was present, he could naturally see a lot. He knew that He Yi had used all of his qi to accelerate that flying sword. This also meant that although he could make the sword go faster, he could not stop it anymore.

This also meant that the flying sword would pass by in an instant. If Chen Chao did not have a way to deal with it, he would likely be pierced by that flying sword.

Thinking up to here, Li Heng looked towards the plaza, ready to intervene at any moment.

Meanwhile, in the plaza, Chen Chao who was the target of the flying sword did not seem to have noticed that extremely dangerous flying sword yet, continuing to walk forward.

His eyes seemed to only have He Yi who was opposite.

That flying sword already reached the back of his head.

Li Heng was already prepared to take action

Right at this time.

Chen Chao sprinted forward with all his might bizarrely.

He broke through the flying swords in a very short time, continuously closing the distance between him and He Yi.

What was even more terrifying was that when he ran forward, his speed actually became faster than the flying sword.

How was this possible?!
