Chapter 14 Sword Defeats Mo Shan

Mo Shan picked up his sword and stood there, his eyes blazing with fury as he looked at Shen Xu.

"Insects, prepare to die!" Mo Shan roared like a thunderclap, then charged towards Shen Xu like a tiger descending a mountain.

"Oh no, Mo Shan is really angry this time. Judging from his expression, he's going to fight Shen Xu to the death!"

"After all, it's a fifth-level Qi cultivation cultivator fighting a seventh-level Qi cultivation cultivator. Even if Shen Xu's swordsmanship is superb, it's difficult to bridge the gap in strength. This time, he's really in grave danger."

Seeing this, Shen Xu couldn't help but straighten his expression. Mo Shan, who was at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, deserved his serious attention.

In the blink of an eye, Mo Shan was already beside him, fiercely swinging his steel sword toward his head. At such close range, he could even feel the chill emanating from Mo Shan's sword.

Using the Qingfeng Step, Shen Xu's figure was elusive, dodging Mo Shan's sword with an unpredictable posture. But one sword after another followed. Although Shen Xu had mastered the Qingfeng Step, he was still struggling to keep up with Mo Shan's relentless attacks.

"Hide! Do you think you can hide?" Mo Shan's mocking voice rang out.

All the onlookers saw was a pale blue cage gradually forming from the dense sword shadows in front of Mo Shan, completely trapping Shen Xu's figure inside and slowly eroding the space for Shen Xu to dodge and move.

"Green Bamboo Sword Prison!"

"This is the final form of the Green Bamboo Sword Technique, the introductory sword technique of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect. Only by mastering this sword technique can one form the Prison Shadow."

I never expected Mo Shan to have mastered this move, and the shadow it cast was so clear; he must have put in a lot of hard work on this sword technique.

"Shen Xu was a bit overconfident. His best option at the time was to create distance between himself and Mo Shan, but he chose to use his footwork advantage to dodge Mo Shan's sword. If he didn't have any other way to escape, Mo Shan would probably have to use his killing move next."

Shen Xu never expected Mo Shan to have this move. Just as Mo Shan's sword was about to strike him, he had no choice but to abandon the triple wave he had just condensed on his sword and stop in place to clash his longsword with Mo Shan's sword.

Just then, Mo Shan suddenly heard a faint sound of wind amidst the clanging of their swords. As Shen Xu's longsword danced faster and faster, the whistling sound echoed in their ears.

Amidst the howling sounds, everyone gradually began to realize that something was wrong. Shen Xu was clearly trapped by Mo Shan's sword prison and could only stand still and passively defend against Mo Shan's attacks.

But no matter how many swords Mo Shan swung, or how fast his sword was, Shen Xu seemed to be able to handle it with ease, each sword strike seemingly toying with Mo Shan and hitting the weak points in his sword strikes.

Shen Xu's figure was like an ancient pine tree, breaking straight through the powerless blockade of the green bamboo, soaring into the sky, unmoving.

"What a superb sword technique! But I don't seem to remember having such a technique in our sect."

"It feels a bit like the second move of the mortal-level sword technique, the Pine Tree Sword Technique, 'Pine Tree Proud in the Wind'."

"A mortal-level sword technique can have such an effect? ​​You're not kidding, are you?!"

"If I'm not mistaken, Shen Xu must have mastered the Cangsong Sword Technique to its peak, which is why he was able to withstand a human-level sword technique with a mortal-level sword technique without being at a disadvantage."

Of course, this is also related to the attributes of the two sword techniques. The Green Bamboo Sword Technique emphasizes fast attacks, which is precisely what the Pine Tree Sword Technique excels at defense.

At this moment, Mo Shan on the field felt disgusted, as if he had eaten ten thousand rat droppings. He had clearly forced Shen Xu into an inescapable situation, and his cultivation, strength, and even energy were far superior to Shen Xu's, but he just couldn't break through the tortoise shell created by Shen Xu's sword light.

Moreover, Shen Xu's every sword strike precisely hit the weakest point in his attack, causing his blood and qi to surge every time he was countered, making it difficult for him to smoothly connect the next sword strike. This situation made him increasingly irritable.

His agitated mood naturally affected his judgment and the timing of his sword strikes. Mo Shan's swordplay became increasingly chaotic and disorganized, and his focus gradually shifted from speed to power.

Shen Xu naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He quickly changed position with his feet, and a bright flash of sword light pierced out instantly.

"The wind rustles through the pines." Shen Xu pierced Mo Shan's right shoulder with his sword, and blood instantly soaked through Mo Shan's robes.

"Ah..." Mo Shan painfully released his grip on the longsword, letting the fine steel sword fall to the ground with a buzzing hum.

"Looks like you're nothing special after all!" Shen Xu said sarcastically, looking at Mo Shan who was clutching his wound in pain.

He thought he would have to use the Fourfold Wave technique to completely defeat Mo Shan, but he didn't expect Mo Shan to be so impatient. A small setback threw him into a panic, leaving him full of flaws. He should have been the one getting anxious, since he only needed to slowly wear down Mo Shan's energy.

"What just happened? I clearly saw Mo Shan dominating Shen Xu the whole time!"

"Mo Shan was too hasty and Shen Xu seized the opportunity. Although Shen Xu is only at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation, his combat experience and swordsmanship are beyond what one should have for his age. It's a bit scary for me!"

"He's already this powerful at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation. If he reaches the seventh level, who in the entire outer sect will be his match? At that time, perhaps only the geniuses of the inner sect will be qualified to fight him!"

"Mo Shan is completely finished now. Not only has he lost all his Qi-Nourishing Pills, but he probably won't be able to face anyone in the future."

"A bet's a bet, five hundred Qi-Nourishing Pills," Shen Xu said calmly.

"Fine! Fine! Here you go." Mo Shan suppressed his anger and picked up the steel sword.

His father had told him that the sword was a swordsman's life, but today the bastard in front of him had forced him to drop his sword twice. His dignity was shattered, and everyone saw him at his most pathetic. All of this was because of that bastard in front of him.

"Just kill him, just kill him..." Mo Shan muttered like a madman, his eyes filled with crimson blood vessels, his face contorted with rage, as if he were burning with boundless fury.

"Shen Xu, you're going to die!!"

With a hoarse roar, Mo Shan instantly drew his sword. A giant yellow sword phantom appeared above Mo Shan's head. The giant sword exuded an aura of majesty, and some disciples with weaker cultivation levels did not even dare to look directly at it.

As Mo Shan swung his sword down, to everyone's astonishment, the giant sword also fell, crashing heavily down towards the location where Shen Xu was.

"What is this?" Someone in the crowd was shocked by the scene.

"Mo Shan's signature sword technique, which is also his killing move, is the final move of the Mountain-Suppressing Sword Technique, a mid-level Human Rank technique: One Sword Suppresses the Mountain!"

"Mo Shan is probably going all in. This move is extremely taxing, but I think Shen Xu can easily dodge it with his speed. Mo Shan is just fooling himself!"

Seeing the phantom of the giant yellow sword falling towards him, Shen Xu sneered. The four waves on his sword were prepared for this moment.

A faint mist of water gradually rose, white fog swirling around Shen Xu and then slowly wrapping around his sword. On his sword, waves of energy seemed to surge and churn, as if it were about to burst forth at any moment.

"A single sword strike kills all!!"

Shen Xu slashed with his sword, and white waves surged past instantly, while the giant sword was submerged in the waves. Under the impact of the giant waves, it became distorted and illusory, and the illusory image of the giant sword was scattered like a raging wind.

After destroying the giant sword, the giant wave continued its momentum and hurtled straight toward Mo Shan. Mo Shan was instantly thrown a considerable distance by the enormous impact before crashing heavily to the ground.

For a moment, only Mo Shan's screams echoed throughout the entire arena, and this outcome left everyone dumbfounded.

"This...that's unlikely! Was that the Overlapping Waves Sword Technique just now?"

"Don't ask me, I don't understand it either."

"When did I become able to use the Overlapping Waves Sword Technique so easily? And it even overwhelmed the Mountain-Suppressing Sword Technique, which is also at the Human Rank! Did I learn a fake Overlapping Waves Sword Technique?"

"There's only one possibility: it's a quadruple wave!"
