The Whale Hunter’s words fell, and his finger landed on Li Guanyi’s brow. Li Guanyi was greatly alarmed, his body moved, his movement technique deployed, attempting to evade the move. At the same time, in his hand, the Wooden Sword Dragon Map, in an extremely agile and swift manner, thrust upwards, targeting the Whale Hunter’s wrist. The sword blade touched the Whale Hunter’s wrist, yet it felt as if passing through clouds and mist. The Whale Hunter turned his five fingers, grabbing Li Guanyi’s sword-wielding hand. At this moment, illusion turned into reality. This transformation was so exquisite, fully demonstrating the Formation Leader’s prowess. With just a wave of the arm, Li Guanyi’s entire body was dragged up, suspended in mid-air. "Ha, without a hundred thousand troops, your sharpness is weakened more than tenfold." "This is the weakness of the military formation." Li Guanyi did not answer, he was not worried that the Whale Hunter harbored any lethal intent towards him, only smiled and said: "Senior, are you going to point out my martial arts?" "What a coincidence, I’ve been pondering swordsmanship recently and wanted to seek your senior’s guidance as well." Raising his hand, a sword, he displayed the Sword Manual left to him by Murong Longtu. Continuously, rising and falling unceasingly. The Whale Hunter’s formation changed, smiling: "The Murong Family swordsmanship was originally ordinary, being able to reach this point is somewhat impressive. Come, I have also crossed swords with your Grandpa several times, his swordsmanship isn’t that strong, watch closely." After speaking, he took a straight and smooth wooden stick and attacked Li Guanyi. The swordsmanship in his hand was displayed continuously; Li Guanyi only felt that the Formation Leader’s swordsmanship was extremely profound. In the confrontation, Li Guanyi’s methods were all used, yet he was suppressed by the Whale Hunter wielding only a single-handed wooden stick. The Whale Hunter’s wrist suddenly shook; the sky above pressed down, suddenly there were sounds of swords and spears roaring, vaguely seeming to have thousands of troops. Li Guanyi felt a strong pressure and then heard a light cry; the Whale Hunter seemed to transform into a Great General. Wearing heavy armor, riding an Exotic Beast, holding a long-handled, broad-bladed battlefield weapon, swung towards Li Guanyi, with majestic momentum. In an instant, Li Guanyi’s pupils contracted. Instinctively he stepped back, raised his hand, five fingers spread open. Golden-red flames instantly burst forth from his palm, condensing into a long sword with golden-red patterns on the blade, it was the Divine Weapon, Chi Xiao Sword; with Chi Xiao Sword in hand, beside Li Guanyi, accompanied by a low dragon’s roar, the Red Dragon Dharma Form appeared. It was as if a firelight exploded around, fiercely blazing, Li Guanyi’s pair of dark pupils tinged with pale golden flames, becoming indifferent and distant, he swung the sword fiercely. His swordsmanship was unparalleled in its perfection, and his Divine Charm was exceedingly strong. It was the very sword that severed the national fortune of the Dangxiang Kingdom. In an instant, the surrounding noise seemed to pause. The battlefield, weapons, and slaughter around Li Guanyi dispersed; everything from before seemed to be an illusion—he was still in the courtyard, able to hear the birds chirping, as the dry sun of June in the Western Regions fell, basking directly. Li Guanyi’s hand rested on the wooden sword, and Chi Xiao Sword remained unsheathed. The Whale Hunter’s finger pointed at his brow. The bitter struggle, the slaughter, the battlefield, felt as if it was all just a dream. Li Guanyi’s eyes were calm, he said: "Formation?" The Whale Hunter withdrew his finger, looking at it, muttering to himself: "The Emperor’s Swordsmanship is indeed as powerful as the legends say. I initially intended to teach this brat a lesson but didn’t expect you to break the formation." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NoveI[F]ire.net His face unchanged, he placed his hand behind his back, unhurriedly said: "What I just displayed was the attack once used by the Wolf King." "Despite your numerous techniques, in front of a famous general who has experienced decades of battlefield slaughter, with skills honed to perfection, having many techniques instead becomes a jumble. Only that move you created, [Snake Slayer], is somewhat noteworthy." "However, what I simulated as the Wolf King is far inferior to the actual one." "A known general under the Nine Heavens, with ten thousand troops, myself, the Taoist Sect, and your Grandpa would need to avoid confronting them directly. If we stepped into this battlefield, we would risk dying here." "And as for a celebrated general in a state of national war..." The Whale Hunter’s voice paused, then said: "They are destined by the trend of the times, invincible under heaven." "Previously, you led a force of ten thousand, of which only a third counted as having combat power, and these can’t compare to the fierce soldiers under the Wolf King, who fought in a national war for over two years." "Your martial arts are also insufficient." "With ten thousand fierce soldiers under command, holding an unparalleled Divine Weapon, along with advantageous timing and location, and at least a foundation in the Grandmaster realm, then you would be qualified to be at this table, to challenge the top five Divine Generals in the world." Li Guanyi asked: "May I ask, senior, how does one achieve Grandmaster status?" The Whale Hunter said: "That depends on what kind of Grandmaster you seek." The silver-haired man’s right hand was placed behind him, and with his left hand, he picked up a fallen leaf, calmly saying: "If it’s an ordinary Grandmaster, you will have to refine your will to the extreme and then break through the acupoints." "Like condensing clouds into water, turning water into ice." "For a foundation like yours, it’s just a matter of diligence." His fingers moved slightly, strands of water vapor gathered in his hand, transforming into clouds, the cloud vapor flowing, condensing into one, forming a puddle, then a piece of ice. With a flick of the finger, it landed in front of Li Guanyi; the young man grasped it in his hand. "Like your subordinates, Ximen Hengrong, Kou Yulie, this is their technique." "After a breakthrough, with painstaking dedication, practicing diligently every day, at most, you could advance further to the Eighth Layer Heaven." "The Nine Layers Heaven Grandmaster don’t even think about it." "As for Martial Arts Legend, does such a mediocrity dare to speak these four words?"
