When Gu Zhendong and Li Qin drove to the seaside, they witnessed this astonishing scene.
Li Qin was dumbfounded. "Uncle Gu, do you think they are still human?"
Gu Zhendong swallowed and, after a long moment, replied with two words: "Hard to say."
Gu Zhendong's words were as good as saying nothing, but Li Qin was filled with emotion.
Fortunately, she met Chen Xiao. Otherwise, based on Wang Xingde's current displayed strength alone, she would never have been able to avenge herself in her lifetime.
"Hahahaha, kid, for twenty years, you're the first person to force me to use the Great Desolation Nine Swords!"
Wang Xingde stood proudly, laughing arrogantly. Fighting Chen Xiao had brought him a long-lost passion.
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said indifferently, "Stop talking nonsense. I just saw you use this move when you killed your son."
Wang Xingde: "..."
Gu Zhendong: "..."
Li Qin: "..."
Don't hit someone in the face when fighting, and don't expose someone's shortcomings when scolding them!
Chen Xiao clearly had not grasped the true meaning of this saying.
As soon as he spoke, Wang Xingde was enraged. "Brat, it seems I've been too nice to you. Today, I must cut you into pieces and feed you to the fish in the sea!"
"Great Desolation Nine Swords, First Sword, Go!"
A sword flew out, heading straight for Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao did not dodge or evade, standing motionless on the sea.
"Old man, hurry up and use your strongest killing move. There's no point in testing me with such low-level moves."
When the sword was within inches of him, Chen Xiao casually waved his hand, sending out a surge of energy that struck the flying sword, causing it to instantly vanish.
It was only then that Li Qin realized the flying sword was formed from energy, not a physical object.
"How did this old fellow do that? Uncle Gu, how strong do you think he is?"
Gu Zhendong shook his head. "Qin'er, like you, your Uncle Gu is a cultivator and knows little about the martial path. However, the move Wang Xingde used is like the sword control technique in sorcery. I presume his martial realm has reached the peak of transformation, perhaps only one step away from the Divine Realm."
"Divine Realm..."
Li Qin murmured, "Wang Xingde's strength is close to the Divine Realm, and Chen Xiao is not at a disadvantage when fighting him. Doesn't that mean Chen Xiao also has strength close to the Divine Realm?"
Gu Zhendong gave a wry smile. "Chen Xiao, you can't look at him with normal eyes. What he displays seems like sorcery, and also like martial arts, or perhaps a combination of both. It's hard to categorize such a monster with normal martial realm or sorcery cultivation."
Just as Li Qin said, Chen Xiao was not at a disadvantage when fighting Wang Xingde, even appearing somewhat leisurely.
He hadn't used his full strength, or even half of it.
In the blink of an eye, four flying swords had flown out from behind Wang Xingde, but all were easily neutralized by Chen Xiao.
However, suddenly, four more flying swords appeared behind Wang Xingde, and the nine flying swords were complete again.
Li Qin's face was covered in black lines. "This old man is such a cheater!"
Of course, Li Qin said this only because she disliked Wang Xingde. In reality, all nine flying swords were formed from Wang Xingde's energy, and even if they were replenished, it only showed his strength.
"Kid, I'm getting more and more interested in you. I really don't know what kind of master could cultivate a freak like you. If I had the chance, I'd really like to meet him!"
As he spoke, Wang Xingde's expression turned somber. "Unfortunately, I no longer have such an opportunity."
"But it's good that I can have a good fight with you; that's enough to comfort me in this life!"
"Nine Swords Unite, Slay Evil and Break Demons, Slice!"
With Wang Xingde's roar, the nine flying swords behind him suddenly merged into one.
They transformed into a long, narrow, and massive flying sword, suspended above the sea, like a flying nuclear submarine!
The giant flying sword pierced through the air, as if capable of tearing apart the space before it. With an invincible aura, it slashed diagonally towards Chen Xiao.
"Chen Xiao, be careful!"
Li Qin shouted, her lips almost bitten through from nervousness without her realizing it.
However, Chen Xiao was not flustered at all. He smiled slightly.
"Do you think you're the only one who can use a sword?"
Chen Xiao's lips curved upwards.
"Canglan Zhenwu! Fifth Form!"
"Tide Rises! Sword of Heaven Breaking!"
Behind Chen Xiao, monstrous waves suddenly surged.
However, these were not real waves but his energy taking form, with the power of the surging sea constantly flowing towards Chen Xiao.
Wang Xingde's eyes narrowed. "What is this? What is this kid up to?"
A moment later, the giant waves parted to the sides, and a sharp sword, about three feet long, flew out from the curtain of water, landing directly in Chen Xiao's hand.
The sword was still covered in swirling water vapor, like a magical artifact from another world.
Li Qin watched intently, no longer bothering to analyze Chen Xiao's strength. She just wanted to know what would happen next in this brilliant battle.
Chen Xiao, holding the sword, met Wang Xingde's giant sword and slashed down!
"Let's see whose sword is mightier, yours or mine. Sword of Heaven Breaking, Slice!"
The surging tide wrapped around the sword as it cleaved towards the giant sword.
Bang!
A deafening explosion, like a bomb going off, shook the entire sea surface, sending countless fish and shrimp flying out of the water.
Vortices churned, and waves rolled!
When the wind and waves subsided, Chen Xiao still stood with his sword, while Wang Xingde's giant sword had vanished.
"Kid, what exactly are you?"
Wang Xingde's mind trembled. He thought he had adequately estimated Chen Xiao's strength, but he still underestimated him.
Gu Zhendong and Li Qin were too stunned to speak. They had only seen scenes like that in movies.
Witnessing it in reality was far more intense than seeing it on screen.
"Wang Xingde, is that all you've got?"
Chen Xiao looked as if he hadn't had enough. "If you're done, it's my turn!"
"Brat, bring it on! I don't believe you can kill me!"
In fact, Wang Xingde was starting to worry. As time passed, his strength would gradually weaken, and death would creep closer.
Therefore, he had to kill Chen Xiao in the shortest possible time.
But now, that seemed like an impossible task, unless...
Wang Xingde dared not think further, for Chen Xiao had already come charging with his sword.
He quickly mobilized his energy, forming a thick protective shield of qi around his body!
"Wang Xingde, take this sword from me first!"
Chen Xiao swung his sword, the blade heading straight for Wang Xingde.
