The old man's swordsmanship was obviously much higher than that of Li Kezhou, and he had entered the legendary realm of "all energy returns to unity". Li Kezhou benefited the most from the exchange between the two in the past three days.
He even had a feeling in his heart that if their swordsmanship reached the same level, he might be able to understand the common ground between their sharp swordsmanship and realize, as the old man said, the most terrifying thing in the world.
A sword.
Similarly, the old man also saw this sword, but because Li Kezhou's current swordsmanship had not reached his level, he could not get enough understanding from the other party, so he was also in the position of being able to see but not touch, and could not really understand the sword.
One sword is enough to realize it.
The old man looked like he was thinking hard and said to himself: "If this sword is realized, it will definitely be a critical power. I will also enter the realm of returning to my true state. There are only a handful of first-tier players who can rival Xie Yunliu."
strength."
The old man's words are not without purpose. This person's current strength is already at the peak of the second echelon, even better than the Master of the Sword Academy. If he goes one step further, he will indeed be a master of Xie Yunliu's level.
Li Kezhou secretly stored what he gained from communicating with the old man during these three days in the depths of his memory.
He had a hunch that when his swordsmanship reached the point where all qi were unified, relying on his understanding of edge at that time, combined with the concept of swordsmanship he had learned from the old man, he would probably be able to find that point of intersection and comprehend the world.
The most shocking sword.
Something suddenly sounded, and the old man came back to his senses and said: "I almost forgot about the business. I came here with a mission, which is related to the second level of the Sword Academy."
Li Kezhou's heart moved when he heard this, and his thoughts came true.
"My little friend, if I read it right, you will be at the top of the world in terms of your strength. You are different from the other elders who have just joined, so Huang Taixi, let me tell you something."
"Is the spiritual dragon about to be born?" Li Kezhou asked straight to the point.
The old man smiled slightly: "As expected, my little friend already knows everything, and this must be the purpose of your coming here today!"
Li Kezhou did not deny it: "What does the commander say? I came here for the spiritual bones, but as far as I know, a spiritual dragon's spiritual bones have a certain number. Is he willing to share a piece with me?"
The old man nodded: "My little friend, this Sword Academy does not dare to deceive you about your strength. To be honest, the people who came to slay the dragon and seize the bones this time are no less than 20 major cultivators. There are mainly four forces. You must have guessed it, too.
The Holy Land of the Four Directions.”
"And the spiritual dragon born this time has been confirmed to have six spiritual bones. If the dragon is successfully slain, one of the Holy Lands in the four directions will own one, and the remaining two will belong to you and me."
Li Kezhou remained silent.
The old man added: "For sword cultivators like you and me, there are a total of six people this time, and they are also the main force in slaying the dragon. The rest are just plundering the formation. At the critical moment, they can cause some trouble to the spirit dragon.
It’s already so valuable.”
"Don't worry! I still understand Huang Taixi's character. He won't do anything about this, and he doesn't dare to make small moves. After all, offending a strong man like my little friend is really not a wise move for the Sword Academy."
Li Kezhou did not hesitate and nodded immediately: "Okay! The six masters will seize six spiritual bones. This distribution is fair and just. I have no reason to refuse."
He said this, but in his heart he thought: The battle situation will be chaotic by then, and if one of the six people dies tragically, the free bones will lead to a fight. No matter how good the words are in advance, it is completely meaningless.
Moreover, his goal this time was not just one piece, but all six pieces. Any missing piece might make his sword body fall short. He had made up his mind to seize all the spiritual bones at all costs.
"Okay! My friend agrees. This matter will increase the chance of success. However, I would like to remind you that a supernatural spirit like a spiritual dragon possesses critical power when it is born. You need to be extremely careful when the time comes, otherwise you will easily die.
The Tao disappears.”
Li Kezhou nodded to express his understanding.
This is not the first time he has faced a spiritual dragon, and he is well aware of the horror of this kind of strange spirit.
After saying this, the old man left, leaving Li Kezhou alone.
He suddenly smiled and said as if talking to himself: "I saw you right, you are indeed here."
There was no one around.
But then, an erratic voice came from the void: "I shouldn't have owed you anything in the first place. This matter is much more dangerous than a mountain of swords and a sea of fire."
You can tell it's a man's voice.
Li Kezhou smiled and said: "Don't worry! I didn't come to you to help me with my fists, but to help me take away my spiritual bones at the critical moment."
"Okay! All I can say is, do your best. Once this matter is over, you and I won't owe each other anything."
Although the voice was unwilling in his heart, he was too trustworthy and would do what he promised no matter what, even if it involved life or death.
…
the next day.
Sword Academy Second Heaven.
Li Kezhou returned to the Ten Thousand Swords Cliff, and everything was as usual. Thirty years later, nothing here had changed at all.
All the disciples of the Sword Academy in the cave were cleared out. A group of more than 20 people stood on the top of the cliff with their feet in the light of swords. Some had solemn eyes, and some had confused expressions.
Huang Taixi, the leader of the Sword Academy, was the first to speak: "Everyone! We are here today for a big event. A spiritual dragon will be born here soon. We need to do our best to slay the dragon together."
"What! Dragon slaying??"
Several people were shocked.
These people were the elders of the Sword Academy who had just been elected three days ago.
They were brought here without knowing anything, and only now do they know the cause and effect.
The man who had captured the chief elder suddenly turned pale: "I know! This must be one of the four major sword sources in the world. The so-called dragon is the legendary spiritual dragon."
This man has lived for more than a hundred years, has a high status in the world, and is obviously well-informed.
After hearing his words, the new elders suddenly became commotion.
These people were kept in the dark before, but they were not idiots. They were assigned here as soon as they joined the job, and they immediately understood that they were being used as swordsmen by the Sword Academy.
To put it nicely, it's a knife, but to put it badly, it's a corpse-filler. They all know how powerful the spirit dragon is, and they can hardly be the enemy of Yihe.
Huang Taixi's face did not change: "Everyone, you have joined our Sword Academy and become one of the members of the Elders Academy. It is your obligation and responsibility to come here to slay dragons. But don't worry, when the job is done, you will still be the elders of the Sword Academy. No matter you
, or the families and forces behind you will be supported by the Sword Academy..."
Listening to what he said, those livid faces looked a little better. No one would feel comfortable if they were plotted against.
Li Kezhou was the only one among the new elders who was informed in advance. The reason was naturally because of his strength, which the Sword Academy had to be afraid of.
If such a person secretly becomes an enemy of the Sword Academy, even a holy land will be in turmoil.
