The formidable Crippled Blade Ancestor, Yu Xu, appears and acknowledges the white-haired youth, Hong Chen, as his senior, shocking everyone present. Yu Xu reveals that Hong Chen once bestowed a treasure upon him, which helped him touch the threshold of the Palm Source Realm, a level akin to a Dao Saint. Despite this revelation, Hong Chen appears to have no memory of Yu Xu. Yu Xu then easily repels an attack from the Tuhai Ancient Ancestor, but Hong Chen dismisses Yu Xu's power usage as abysmal.

Cultivation is mediocre, and power usage is a complete mess?

The people around almost couldn’t believe their ears when they heard this sentence.

The strength of Yu Xiu was clearly evident from that attack earlier.

Although Tuhai Ancient Ancestor is only at the Middle Stage of Heaven-Earth Realm, whereas Yu Xiu is at the Late Stage of Heaven-Earth Realm, the difference between them is just one minor realm.

It is said that after reaching the Palm Realm, the gap between each realm is as vast as heaven and earth, yet based solely on cultivation, it was impossible for Yu Xiu to injure Tuo Hai with just a sliver of sword qi.

Moreover, from that strike earlier, it’s apparent that Tuo Hai not only utilized the power of the universe but also unleashed divine skills.

Even so, Yu Xiu’s sliver of sword qi destroyed most of Tuo Hai’s divine skills and even affected him.

This clearly shows that Yu Xiu’s power is not merely strong but his control over it has reached the Realm of Splendid Perfection. Only then could he have quickly identified the flaw in Tuo Hai’s divine skills and broke through it in one fell swoop.

Yet such powerful control, in Li Chen’s mouth, is termed ’a complete mess’?

Not even they can imagine what kind of control could be considered qualified.

However, no matter how others think, Li Chen doesn’t care. In his eyes, Yu Xiu’s strike was indeed a mess.

Don’t forget, Li Chen himself is a Grandmaster Level knife wielding expert.

Perhaps Li Chen wouldn’t make claims about other weapons, but in terms of the Way of the Sword, there’s probably nobody in the starry universe who can surpass him.

Years of insights and sudden realizations, perfecting his Blade Dao Divine Power time and again, are not easily achieved.

In fact, although Li Chen rarely displayed the prowess of his Way of the Sword in subsequent battles, his understanding of it is even deeper than his current insights into space laws.

Others think Li Chen is bragging, but Yu Xiu, who considers himself understanding Li Chen’s strength, calmly asks with clasped hands, "I wonder what shortcomings still exist in my Way of the Sword, please guide me, senior."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when a cold voice interrupted.

"Let’s discuss guidance later. After killing someone from my Heavenly Profound Sect, there must be an explanation first."

As he spoke, a middle-aged man with a demeanor as cold as a zombie appeared, hovering in the air.

"Greetings, Great Elder!" Ren Si Ancestor’s eyelid twitched and promptly stepped forward to pay respects.

The newcomer was the Great Elder of the Heavenly Profound Sect, Kong Xuanzi!

If Yu Xiu was just touching the threshold of Dao Saint, then Kong Xuanzi had one foot firmly planted in the formidable realm of Source Mastery.

Calling such a powerhouse an Ancient Ancestor is no longer appropriate.

However, he hasn’t fully become a Source Mastery Realm Saint.

Therefore, for those who have one foot in the Source Mastery Realm, there is a special designation.

Semi-Saint!

In various civilizations, people liked to call Heavenly Level the ’Holy Domain,’ and Infinite Level powerhouses who were stepping into Heavenly Level were also called Semi-Saints.

But such Semi-Saints, compared to someone like Kong Xuanzi, are not comparable at all.

Even using soaring dragons and earth-burrowing worms for comparison is inadequate—the gap between them is immeasurable.

Even the usually indifferent Ancestor Yu Xiu with the Broken Blade became serious upon seeing Kong Xuanzi.

Because, apart from anything else, Kong Xuanzi could completely crush him just from an aura perspective.

Meaning, Kong Xuanzi is vastly superior to him!

Even if his actual combat power exceeded his cultivation level somewhat, he isn’t a match for Kong Xuanzi.

"An explanation?"

The calmness on Li Chen’s face faded, replaced by a gradual smile.

This is because Yu Xiu’s appearance and attitude were somewhat unexpected to him. With such a respectful figure calling him senior around, it was difficult for Li Chen to exert himself freely. But now, with the arrival of an even stronger presence, from certain perspectives, Li Chen could feel unrestrained again.

"You want an explanation, so let me give you one," Li Chen nodded, then turned to Yu Xiu beside him, "You wanted to know where you’re lacking, didn’t you? Go, defeat him."

"Defeat him?" Yu Xiu was momentarily stunned by Li Chen’s words and then smiled wryly, "Senior, it’s not that I don’t want to, but..."

"Since you want to, you should do it," Li Chen interrupted calmly, "If you don’t try, how will you know whether you can do it or not?"

"Well..." Yu Xiu hesitated, then gritted his teeth, "Since senior said so, then Yu Xiu will show his humble skills today!"

With that, Yu Xiu soared into the sky, confronting Kong Xuanzi.

"Crippled Blade Ancestor?" Kong Xuanzi frowned and his expression turned gloomy, "Are you sure you want to oppose my Heavenly Profound Sect? Think carefully, this isn’t your River Sea Realm, something happens, there won’t be a Dao Saint to protect you. Moreover, I won’t hold back!"

"You’re overthinking," Yu Xiu’s state of mind stabilized, "Once I’ve decided to act, it means I’ve considered well. Therefore, fellow Kong Xuanzi, make your move."

"Alright!" Kong Xuanzi agreed, sneering, "I have already told you the reason; if anything happens later, even if the Dao Saint from your River Sea Realm comes to make trouble, my Heavenly Profound Sect will have the justification!"

"Make your move!" Yu Xiu said coldly.

As his voice fell, he felt a powerful impact rushing toward him.

Kong Xuanzi had already made his move the moment Yu Xiu opened his mouth.

Sweeping power seemingly transformed into a Divine Mountain, crashing heavily onto Yu Xiu.

Just as Yu Xiu was about to quickly retreat to defuse the impact, a sudden voice entered his ear.

"Step back three steps, open your right leg. Gather qi to the tan center, left hand condensed Sword Intent, right hand strike."

Yu Xiu froze, then realized it was Li Chen’s voice.

But what is the left hand condensed Sword Intent and right hand strike?

Yet Yu Xiu was decisive, knowing he wasn’t a match for Kong Xuanzi from the start, he acted immediately according to Li Chen’s instructions.

"Pseudo-Universe shrunk to a range of three feet, defend." At this moment, Li Chen’s voice sounded again.

At this time, Yu Xiu had already swung a knife, and upon hearing Li Chen’s words, instantly retracted the Pseudo-Universe.

Meanwhile, Kong Xuanzi in front of Yu Xiu disappeared, dodging Yu Xiu’s slash at an extremely high speed.

"Alright, turn your left hand Sword Intent into your strongest attack, use all your strength, and sweep it left."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiu hesitated no longer; obviously, Kong Xuanzi had dodged his attack and was now preparing to strike at him, leaving him no time for hesitation.

"Boom!!!"

"Crack!"

The space tore open, and Kong Xuanzi clutched his bloody chest, looking at Yu Xiu with shock.

How did he discover me?!
