Chapter 43: Sword and Saber Unite

  "How can Mo Xiaoquan always find some masters, while you guys are still just a few people?" Bai Cangdong said strangely.

  Ma Fei's old face turned red: "We are all native-born people of Dalun City, and there are only so many people in Dalun City. Where can we find any masters? The Shenwu Association is an organization that spans multiple cities, it's much easier to find masters."

  "It was a fight between a strong dragon and a local snake." Bai Cangdong smiled.

  "What's the order of our appearance?" Zheng Hao asked.

  "No need to wait in line, I'll go first and then end the duel directly." Bai Cangdong had made up his mind today to take down the Shenwu Association.

  "Bai Ge, be more careful, the two new barons in Shenwu Guild are very dangerous." Zheng Hao reminded.

  "Alright." Bai Cangdong nodded and then jumped onto the martial arts stage.

  Meng Xiaoquan saw Bai Cangdong take the stage and smiled at the Baron of Body Method: "Ma Fei's people pushed out their strongest player in the first match, it seems they are very afraid of us. This duel is a sure win for us, who will go on stage first?"

  "No need for such trouble, either of us two brothers can take the stage and sweep away the five opponents." said the baron with a scar on his face and a fierce aura.

  "Not bad, we've come all the way here, and in your First War of Light, countless battles have been fought, but no decent opponents have been seen. This match is a complete waste of time for us, let my younger brother take care of it, and end it quickly to avoid wasting more time." Another cold-faced baron said.

  The other barons around Meng Xiaoquan all looked somewhat embarrassed, but they seemed to have suffered at the hands of the two men before, and although they were humiliated, no one dared to say anything.

  "In that case, I'll have to trouble both of you." Meng Xiaoquan's expression didn't change, and he said with a smile.

  The baron with a scar on his face directly jumped onto the martial arts platform, without greeting anyone, summoned his armed knife and rushed towards Bai Cangdong, his knife skills were fast and ruthless.

  Right!

  Just as the long knife was about to slash onto Bai Cangdong's face, a large sword blocked it. The two men simultaneously stumbled back two or three steps before stopping in their tracks.

  "It's still a bit of strength." The scar-faced baron snorted and struck out with his sword at Bai Cangdong once again.

  Bai Cangdong also refused to show weakness, his great sword chopping, slashing and thrusting as he fought the baron.

  "What a terrifying swordsmanship, fortunately it's Bai Ge who took the stage, if it were us, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to withstand even ten swords." Zheng Hao exclaimed at the sight of the scar-faced baron's swordsmanship.

  "I hope Bai Ge can win." Ma Fei watched the two people fighting on stage with a worried expression.

  On the side of Meng Xiaoquan, the expressionless baron was also slightly surprised and turned his head to ask Meng Xiaoquan: "Who is that baron on the stage?"

  His title is Fist Baron, and he is now a martial artist in Dao Lun City. Meng Xiaoquan had apparently already investigated Bai Cangdong's background thoroughly, and spoke out as soon as he opened his mouth.

  "The swordsmanship is quite good, it's one of the most powerful barons we've seen since our brothers arrived at the First Order of Light."

  "His swordsmanship is quite good, but it's not necessarily enough to surpass Lord Kaito, let alone with you, the even more formidable Lord Kaito, around. In any case, he's definitely going to lose." said Mō Shōsen with a smile.

  "His swordsmanship is quite good, but it's impossible for him to surpass my younger brother, let alone be worth my taking action." said the Baron of Sword Wind with a self-conceited tone.

  "This person's swordsmanship seems a bit strange, quite different from the usual swordsmanship I've seen. It's somewhat similar to my own painful swordsmanship, but his swordsmanship is more direct and aimed at the vitals, yet still different." Bai Cangdong was slightly surprised in his heart, and didn't immediately use his full strength to defeat the Baron of Knife Wind, but instead wanted to see what other kinds of swordsmanship he had.

  Dàofēng Baron started with great confidence, his knife skills were vigorous and powerful, it seemed that the next knife would directly cut Bái Cāngdōng in half.

  But gradually, Baron Knife Wind felt that something was not quite right. The baron opposite him seemed to have never used his full strength and had been following his knife moves all along, intentionally trying to see through his techniques.

  Dàofēng Baron's face turned red with rage, his swordsmanship changed, becoming even more overbearing and sharp: "You want to watch? Then take a good look, this is my 'Thirty-six Knives of Falling Thunder', let's see how many knives you can withstand."

  Bai Cangdong didn't respond, his figure flashing as he wielded his great sword to left and right, blocking the swift and ruthless knife techniques of the Wind Knife Baron one by one. It looked incredibly perilous, but in reality, the Wind Knife Baron hadn't even managed to graze a corner of Bai Cangdong's clothes.

  The Baron of Knife Wind's knife skills were extremely fast, and the thirty-six knife moves passed in an instant, but he was unable to injure Bai Cangdong, and could only start again from the beginning.

  Bai Cangdong watched "Falling Thunder Thirty-six Knives" twice, knowing that Bao Feng should have exhausted his skills and didn't want to watch anymore. Suddenly, the trajectory of the big sword changed, cutting towards Bao Feng like a thunderbolt, surprisingly it was Bao Feng's just used "Falling Thunder Thirty-six Knives".

  "You think you can defeat me with your swordsmanship? You're too naive." The Baron of the Windy Blade was furious, his heart filled with hatred, wanting to rely on his mastery of the "Thirty-six Knives of Falling Thunder" to take advantage of Bai Cangdong's momentary lapse and strike him down.

  Who would have thought that Bai Cangdong's "Thirty-six Knives of Falling Thunder" seemed to have been practiced countless times, and was even faster and more ruthless than when the Duke of Knife Wind used it. Even though some flaws were revealed, they disappeared in an instant, and the Duke of Knife Wind couldn't grasp the opportunity at all.

  Right!

  Bai Cangdong's sword struck the chest of Dao Feng Baron, who covered his wound and retreated repeatedly. Fresh blood gushed out from between his fingers, his face filled with unwillingness. He had actually been defeated by his own most skilled technique, "Thirty-six Knives of Falling Thunder", and only lasted until the twenty-seventh knife.

  "What on earth are you?" Baron Swordwind jumped onto the dueling platform and supported the stumbling Baron Kaze.

  "Didn't Meng Xiaquan tell you who I am?" Bai Cangdong said calmly.

  "Your swordsmanship doesn't seem like that of the First Tier of Light, but rather like our friends from the First Tier of Darkness." Baron Swordwind said, staring at Bai Cangdong.

  "These two are actually from the Dark Stage!" Bai Cangdong was slightly surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm: "The masters of our First Stage of Light are as numerous as clouds, I am just an ordinary one. If your swordsmanship is superb, it's likely that there will be few people left in our Stage of Light."

  "Very well, then let me experience your greatness."

  His sword was like lightning, and the Sword Wind Baron's swordsmanship also followed the fast sword path, but unlike the Knife Wind Baron's "Falling Thunder Thirty-six Knives" which emphasized speed and power coordination, the Sword Wind Baron's swordsmanship abandoned power and relied solely on speed for victory. The long sword flashed out of its scabbard, moving so quickly that it was almost impossible to see what shape the blade took.

  Bai Cangdong was least afraid of quick swords. What he was best at was actually the art of body movement, and secondly, knife techniques.

  The swordsmanship of Viscount Swordwind was also thirty-six styles, and after Bai Cangdong had watched it twice, he already had a plan in mind. With a change in his sword technique, he suddenly found himself using Viscount Swordwind's own swordsmanship against him.

  Jian Feng's face changed greatly. With the same sword move, he unexpectedly didn't draw his sword faster than Bai Cangdong, which made him almost unable to believe it.

  "Big brother, I'm here to help you." The Baron Knife Wind, who had just finished treating his wound, suddenly let out a loud roar and jumped onto the martial arts stage, raising his knife to slash at Bai Cangdong.

  The Baron of Knife Wind and the Baron of Sword Wind worked together seamlessly, enveloping Bai Cang in a whirlwind of knives and swords.

  "What's the meaning of this?" Ma Fei and Zheng Hao glared at Meng Xiaoquan, ready to jump onto the martial arts stage to help Bai Cangdong.

  "I'll take care of this, you don't need to come up." Bai Cangdong spoke out to stop Ma Fei and the others, single-handedly fighting against the two barons, Dao Feng and Jian Feng.

  It wasn't that Bai Cao Dong wanted to show off, but he discovered that the knife technique of Dao Feng and the sword technique of Jian Feng combined together, their power suddenly increased several times, which was clearly a combination attack.

  Bai Cang himself can use weapons with both hands, but when using them at the same time, they somewhat restrict each other. It's only slightly more powerful than using one hand, and it can't achieve a doubling of power. This is mainly because there was no specific method for him to use his dual-wielding technique. Now that he has the chance to witness the true method, he naturally doesn't want to miss it, and maybe in the future, he can apply it to his own dual-handed techniques.

  Dàofēng Baron and Jiànfēng Baron fought against Bái Cāngdōng, their knife and sword techniques complemented each other perfectly, yet they still couldn't harm Bái Cāngdōng. Instead, they were forced to use their combined knife and sword technique repeatedly.

  "Originally, the 'Thirty-six Knives of Falling Thunder' and the Sword Wind Baron's swordsmanship were a set of combo techniques. The two only needed to use these two martial skills to naturally harmonize." Bai Cangdong had already seen through the essence of the two people's combo technique and didn't have any more interest in watching.

  The giant sword spun around, and both the Knife Wind Baron and the Sword Wind Baron let out a pained cry as they clutched at their chests and retreated, their faces filled with frustration and humiliation.

  "Who's next?" Bai Cangdong smiled and looked at Meng Xiaoquan.

  "Two trash, still pretending to be experts in front of me, simply unbearable, losing my face completely." Meng Xiaoquan scolded Knife Wind Baron and Sword Wind Baron with a pale face, looking at the other barons beside him, but saw that they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look him in the eye, apparently no one dared to go on stage and fight against Bai Cangdong.

  "Today's duel counts as your win, we're leaving." Meng Xiaoquan said with a scowl, then quickly left the arena with his group of young masters.

  Ma Fei and the others were all beaming with joy, Zheng Hao even shouted out: "Bai Ge you're truly invincible, using those two stinky nobles' martial skills to defeat them, it's really satisfying."

  "White Brother, you must have learned that knife and sword technique before, otherwise how could you use it more smoothly than they do?" Ma Fei was somewhat incredulous that White Can Dong had only watched twice and yet could wield the two martial skills more fiercely than their original masters.

  "It's just a bit of insight." Bai Cangdong wasn't lying, whether it was the knife technique of the Knife Wind Baron or the sword technique of the Sword Wind Baron, both had some similarities with his Painful Knife Technique, which is why he could execute them after only two glances. If it were another martial skill, that would be impossible to do.

  Ma Fei and the others all let out a sigh of relief. If someone could really master a martial skill just by looking at it twice, the pressure on them would be too great. All their hard work and training would become a joke.
