Chapter 95: The Challenge of the Yashan Sect

  。

  Ancient Superpower reached Xiantian realm, originally wanted to learn third-order knife technique.

  However, Nan Gongyuan passed on the second-level knife method of cutting knife method to Gu Chao.

  Kirisaki no kiri, is Kin-ryū sword style.

  To learn the third-level Wind Splitting Sword Technique, it's best to first master this set of splitting sword techniques.

  Three-tiered martial skill, is a multi-attribute martial skill.

  Once a third-level martial skill is practiced to perfection, multiple attributes can be presented within one set of skills. For example, once the Wind Cutting technique is mastered, it will have both the cutting effect of wind and the sharp blade's cutting effect, combining two effects into one, creating an even greater cutting effect, making this knife technique fast and ruthless.

  Of course, Gu Chao still has to learn the second-order martial skill of Cutting Blade Technique.

  Kirigakure no Jutsu, divided into thirty-nine styles.

  The first move, cut off.

  Second formula, split in half.

  The third form, sweeping across the sky.

  The fourth move, shattering the earth.

  The Fifteenth Move: A Single Slash

  The twenty-fourth move: cut and split.

  The Thirty-Fourth Posture: Cutting as if with a Cleaving Edge.

  The Thirty-Fifth Style: Cutting Thorn

  The Thirty-Sixth Move: Scatter

  This is a set of extremely sharp moves. Gu Chao repeatedly practiced this set of knife techniques, one move and one style, completely forgetting himself.

  However, when practicing this set of moves, Gu Chao vaguely felt that this knife technique should not be practiced here.

  This set of knife techniques is called the Cutting and Splitting Knife Technique. However, there's nothing here that can be cut or split, so practicing this technique here would be very slow-going. Where should I go to practice? Should I go split open the earth? The ground is everywhere, but Gu Chao clearly felt it wasn't suitable. Ah, how about cutting bamboo? On the back mountain of Zhongxi Peak, there's a bamboo forest where he can go practice his Cutting and Splitting Knife Technique.

  Gǔ chāo xīn zhōng yī dòng, dāng xià zhǔn bèi le xiē gān liáng, gān liáng nán chī yě bǐ pì gǔ dān hǎo chī, bù dé bī bù dé yǐ jué duì bù chī nà pì gǔ dān. Rán hòu fēi kuài de qù hòu shān zhú lín dāng zhōng qù liàn dāo.

  Translation:

  Gusu had a sudden movement in his heart, and then he prepared some dry rations. Although the dry rations were not tasty, they were better than the Valley Suppressing Dan. He would never eat that Valley Suppressing Dan unless absolutely necessary. Then, he quickly went to the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain to practice his knife skills.

  This is a lush bamboo forest.

  This bamboo forest has a new batch of bamboo shoots that grew out this spring, and they are particularly slender and lush. It just so happens to be a sunny day in the spring, and the bamboo forest is a vibrant green. The sunlight filters through the bamboo, casting dappled shadows on the ground. As the breeze blows, the delicate leaves and branches sway gently. At this moment, if you close your eyes and focus, you can hear the soft rustling of the bamboo.

  The scenery is beautiful.

  Unfortunately, today I am here to burn the zither and cook the crane, with the bamboo forest practicing sword.

  Gu Chao raised his hand and launched the second-level martial skill, "Cutting Blade Technique". He started with the first move, "Slice", which was no longer aimed at empty air, but at the bamboo forest. The red copper long knife suddenly cut into a tender bamboo stalk. Gu Chao's eyebrows furrowed, then gradually relaxed. Ah, found it, that's the feeling.

  A good sword must have feeling.

  This is also why Gu Chao had to practice his Gale Knife technique in the wind.

  Now using a knife to cut through bamboo also has a certain feeling.

  Right, just practice like this.

  Ancient super careless and forgetful, practicing non-stop, repeatedly practicing this set of knife techniques.

  A bamboo was cut by Gu Chao's knife one after another, Gu Chao's knife wasn't heavy, and one slash couldn't cut off the bamboo, but when many slashes hit it, the bamboo finally couldn't withstand it either, breaking one by one, with a loud cracking sound, scaring away the small birds on the bamboo to fly away quickly.

  It was unknown how long had passed when Gu Chao suddenly came back to himself.

  The second-order martial skill of the Splitting Knife Technique, I have already practiced it to a small success, and I vaguely felt the taste of splitting. Another glance at the time, this practice has taken up half a month's time again.

  Gu Chao didn't notice that at this time, on a small hill in the distance, an old man with white hair and a youthful face was standing with his hands behind his back, sizing up Gu Chao's place. Nan Gongyuan nodded slightly, actually, half a month ago when Gu Chao came to find him, Nan Gongyuan was really shocked.

  Originally, in Nan Gongyuan's expectation, Gu Chao would be depressed for a while after losing to Xiantian Cave, after all, he was only a 13-year-old boy, too young and inexperienced in the Jianghu world, so he couldn't withstand much setback. Elder Nan Gongyuan even planned to go comfort him.

  The result was unexpected, Gu Chao actually advanced to the Xiantian realm. To advance to the Xiantian realm without external objects outside the Xiantian Cave is indeed not easy, and at that time, it opened the eyes of Nan Gong Yuan, the elder.

  After Nan Gongyuan passed on the second-level martial skill "Cutting Blade Technique" to Gu Chao, he found that Gu Chao practiced day and night after receiving the transmission, and in just half a month, he had already made some progress with this technique. This represents two things: First, Gu Chao's innate talent for knife techniques is quite impressive. Second, Gu Chao's perseverance is quite strong, and his efforts are remarkable. Nan Gongyuan has seen many diligent younger generations, but few have reached the level of Gu Chao. In fact, this is also determined by one's mind. Others may have some youthful impetuousness, while Gu Chao, having lived two lifetimes, has a calm temperament and a firm determination, which enables him to achieve this.

  Nangong Yuan is extremely satisfied with Gu Chao now.

  Heh heh, the other elders probably all think that Gu Chao hasn't advanced to the Xiantian realm yet, and probably all think that Gu Chao is still immersed in the shadow of his defeat. At that time, I'll let you all have a big surprise.

  For the outer door disciples' grand competition a year later, Nan Gong Yuan's interest grew even more.

  Perhaps, Gu Chao will create a miracle in the outer disciple competition one year later.

  It's time to catch Mu Rongying, Gu Chao and Mu Rongying are the two top seed players of Xin Xue Mountain Villa.

  Nangong Yuanzheng was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly received a message.

  "Hmm, a guest has arrived, and it's from the Yashan Sect." Elder Nangong Yuan couldn't help but exclaim when he received this letter. The Yashan Sect had been rising recently, and they didn't get along with the Taishan Sect. What were people from the Yashan Sect doing here at the Taishan Sect? Regardless of what they wanted, he still needed to go and receive them, after all, the Yashan Sect and the Taishan Sect hadn't officially fallen out yet.

  ……

  After spending half a month practicing the second-level martial skill of Qie Lie Dao, Gu Chao had reached a small accomplishment. He sheathed his red copper long knife and pondered whether he should repair or replace it, as it was slightly notched. With large strides, Gu Chao headed towards Xin Xue Mountain Manor.

  Just as they arrived at Xin Xue Mountain Villa, it seemed like something big had happened.

  Gu Chao pulled Gao Ren and asked: "What happened after all?"

  Gao Ren said: "Someone has come from the Yashan Sect."

  "Yashan Sect?" Gu Chao pondered over these three words, Gu Chao was quite concerned about many things, and naturally knew a thing or two about the relationship between Yashan Sect and Taishan Sect. Someone from Yashan Sect had actually come, what was their intention?

  Gao Ren said, "The people from Yashan Sect are now at the Ninth Mountain Villa, Residual Snow Villa. It's said that a person named Wan Xie from Yashan Sect is traveling and challenging along the way, and now he has come to challenge our Taishan Sect."

  Wanjia this name Gu Chao really had never heard of it before, after all, Gu Chao is not specialized in intelligence.

  Actually, it's quite simple when you get down to it.

  Yashan sect wants to surpass Taishan sect.

  It's not easy for a bronze-level sect to surpass a silver-level sect, after all, the foundation and years of prestige are too far apart.

  The policy set by the Tianya True Person of the Yashan Sect is: First, strengthen the power of our sect. Second, weaken the prestige of the Taishan Sect in all aspects and enhance the prestige of the Yashan Sect. Gradually and steadily, make changes bit by bit, so that people around us habitually think that although the Yashan Sect is a Bronze-level sect, it is actually stronger than the Taishan Sect, which is a Silver-level sect.

  Just right, in the Yashan Sect, there was a Wan Xie who had joined the sect for just over a year and reached the Xiantian realm. He was a genius.

  So, Yangshan Sect's elder Gong Yangyuan thought of an idea and let Wan Xie go challenge Tai Shan Sect as well.

  However, it's troublesome for Tai Shan Pai to respond to this challenge.

  The Renyashan Sect sent out a young man named Wan Xie who had been studying for just over a year and was only thirteen years old.

  You can't always get a beginner who has been practicing for four or five years, a 17- or 18-year-old boy, or even a 20-year-old young man.

  In this case, it would indeed earn a reputation for bullying the weak with the strong, and the Tai Shan Sect also wants to save face.

  If the older generation of Yueshan Sect wins over the younger generation, they will also be ridiculed by others, and the momentum of Taishan Sect will also weaken a lot.

  So, the Taishan Sect could only use the outer disciples of the 9th and 10th Mountain Villages to fight back. Wan Xie was 13 years old, and most of the 10th Mountain Village were around 12 or 13 years old, while the 9th Mountain Village were mostly 14 or 15 years old. Fighting against the 13-year-old Wan Xie wouldn't put them at a disadvantage, nor would they gain a reputation for bullying the younger ones.

  Without a doubt, no one in the tenth mountain village was a match for Wan Xie. After all, it was common knowledge that Wan Xie was at the Pre-Heavenly stage, while others didn't even know that there were people at the Pre-Heavenly stage in the tenth mountain village.

  So, the place where Gong Yangyuan and Wan Xie of the Yashan Sect were waiting was the Ninth Mountain Villa.

  Fortunately, the Ninth Mountain Villa was not weak either. Wan Ma Ming, who ranked second in the Ninth Mountain Villa, was a master of the Pre-Heavenly Realm. And the first-ranked Zhuang Bufan was even more renowned, his reputation surpassing that of Gu Chao and Mu Rongying. If they went to fight, they would have a good chance of dealing with Wan Xie.

  At this moment, the Ninth Mountain Villa is about to stage a battle of dragons and tigers, so everyone from the Tenth Mountain Villa rushed there to watch this battle.

  Gu Chao's strength had improved significantly, and he was itching to go see the dragon-tiger battle. He set off with Gao Ren and Luo Tao towards the Ninth Mountain Villa.

  On the road, he happened to meet Murong Ying. Murong Ying snorted: "I heard that you've been depressed for over a month because of your loss at Xiantian Cave. Wake up, I want to defeat the strongest version of you, not the weakest." Murong Ying's internal energy had now reached the tenth level of Houtian Realm, clearly she was also making rapid progress. Murong Ying was originally a person with great potential, but was suppressed by Gu Chao.

  "I won't let you down."

  While talking, they arrived at the New Snow Mountain Villa of the Ninth Mountain Villa.
