Chapter 706: Chapter 157: When This Sword Appears, All Swords Fall Silent (Part 2)

Covered in snow all over his body and motionless for more than an hour, Xi Yuchen suddenly moved.

The snow on him melted and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Then, centered on him, the snow on the ground, the shop awnings on both sides, the roofs, and even the snowflakes in the air all melted!

A few seconds later, there was no trace of snow on this street, forming a stark black line in the snowy white world.

Xi Yuchen’s face broke into a brilliant smile.

He started learning swordsmanship at 6, integrated with an Implant at 17, and within a year advanced to the Body Breaking Stage, becoming a formal Martial Artist.

At 18, he won first place in a Body Breaking Stage martial arts competition in Lanling City, attracting the attention of Cheng Prince Mansion, and since then became one of its people.

At 20, he reached the Qi Change Stage, and at 27, he entered the Tao Foundation Stage.

This year, Xi Yuchen is 35 years old, already at the Tao Foundation Stage Peak.

When he activated 4 core-level Extraordinary Abilities, reaching Seventh Tier combat power, he could rival experts above the Seventh Tier with his exceptional swordsmanship.

After activating the fifth core-level Extraordinary Ability, he became a candidate on the Fengyun Leaderboard, now actually on the main list.

In the past ten years, he openly dueled with people in Lanling City eleven times, never losing.

What truly heightened his fame was not his victory record, but a deputy pavilion master’s comment from Zhi Ge Pavilion:

“This person has a remarkable comprehension of the sword, a born Swordsman. His realm’s progression might not be swift, but the advancement of his swordsmanship is certainly worth anticipation.”

According to the “Heavenly Pride Theory,” Xi Yuchen breaking through to the Tao Foundation Stage before 30 makes him a prodigy.

However, this breakthrough speed pales in comparison to his swordsmanship advancement!

The deputy pavilion master commenting on Xi Yuchen was also a Great Grandmaster swordsman, which speaks volumes about Xi Yuchen’s innate talent in swordsmanship.

This is why Xi Yuchen could stand out in a place like Lanling City, a home to tens of thousands of martial artists, and become a renowned swordsman.

After spending two months in prison, emerging to meet this heavy snowfall gave Xi Yuchen further insights.

Just now in the snow, he comprehended another sword move.

This sword move, only partially executed, cleared an entire street of snow and wind!

At this moment, Xi Yuchen felt his heart and mind fulfilled, one step closer to that threshold.

“Unexpectedly, I turned misfortune into a blessing.”

He walked the street with a smiling face.

The prison ordeal affected his Heart Realm, which serendipitously enhanced his swordsmanship cultivation.

This made Xi Yuchen almost want to thank He Jian.

“With another one or two breakthroughs like this, I should be able to break through.”

With such a good mood, he walked all the way to the gate of Cheng Prince Mansion.

He had been staying on the street for over an hour and cleared a whole street of snow afterward.

Such a big commotion had already attracted the attention of many.

The news of ‘Xi Yuchen comprehending the sword amidst the snow’ was spreading rapidly.

Upon arriving at Cheng Prince Mansion’s gate, the mansion’s steward Xi Ran, along with a group of servants, was waiting for him with smiles.

Just as Xi Yuchen was about to enter the mansion, a harsh screeching sound suddenly came from the street corner.

Xi Yuchen turned his head to look, only to see a black car turn the corner and speed straight toward him!

He calmly watched as the car drew closer, seeing the driver clearly through the window.

A middle-aged man, judging by his aura, was a Tao Foundation Stage martial artist!

Having just made a breakthrough, Xi Yuchen did not dodge, instead facing the car head-on.

The car came increasingly closer without reducing speed.

When the front of the car was merely five meters away from Xi Yuchen, its license plate suddenly split in the middle, followed by the front hood, with the crack spreading to the windshield…

As if an invisible sword cleaved the car in half, the vehicle was directly sliced into two pieces!

Lv Wenxing awkwardly leapt out from the car, avoiding the ‘sword’.

He glanced at his cuff, which had been cut short. If his dodge were any slower, it wouldn’t just be his sleeve missing.

Xi Yuchen’s sword move had given him a clear sense of the enormous gap between them.

Faced with that invisible sword Qi, his protective force was as flimsy as paper!

But Lv Wenxing was not intimidated; instead, he pointed at Xi Yuchen’s face and cursed:

“Are you blind as hell? Don’t know how to dodge?”

Anger flashed in Xi Yuchen’s eyes.

It had been a long time since he was cursed at like this.

“You wrecked my car, pay up!”

As Lv Wenxing spoke, he walked towards Xi Yuchen.

“Who are you?”

The mansion’s steward Xi Ran finally reacted and asked.

However, Lv Wenxing ignored him, boldly walked to Xi Yuchen, and reached out to push him:

“I’m talking to you, damn it!”

Xi Yuchen’s eyes turned cold as he pressed a palm against Lv Wenxing’s chest, sending a tremendous force crashing into Lv Wenxing.

Swoosh—

Lv Wenxing flew out like a bomb, hitting the ground heavily and stirring up a shower of snowflakes.

“Plop—”

Upon landing, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xi Yuchen was momentarily dazed at this sight.

The palm strike looked fierce but was actually gentle, not meant to harm anyone.

Regardless, an unexpected Tao Foundation Stage martial artist deserved caution, and he wouldn’t hurt someone without understanding the situation.

Yet Lv Wenxing lay on the ground spitting blood, looking seriously injured.
