Chapter 330: One Sword (Two-in-One Chapter)

In this silence, countless people widened their eyes, staring at the figure on the battle stage holding the green blade.

Pairs of astonished and shocked eyes converged on the young man.

Jiang Yingyue was stunned, and Lin Shanhai and many other alchemists familiar with Li Hao were also completely dumbfounded, unable to believe the scene before them.

On the high platform, Yao Ancestor was taken aback, her eyes slightly dazed, but she quickly recovered. This sword was no longer purely Sword Intent, but Sword Dao.

The other party's swordsmanship had directly reached the divine, entered the Dao and attained divinity!

No wonder he could easily cultivate the Great Dao Sword Manual to the nimble level within ten days.

Yao Ancestor stared at that figure, and soon, many thoughts and ideas surfaced in her mind. The other party was an alchemist, yet he had such exaggerated attainments in Sword Dao, which was definitely not just a simple alchemist identity.

Apart from Yao Ancestor, Mountain Ancestor and the other five elders all showed shock and surprise. Such brilliant Sword Dao, they could all see that the other party's sword had entered the Dao!

Purely on the level of swordsmanship, the young man in front of them was already on par with them.

The difference lay only in the strength of the Sword Dao.

And the gap between them and the Sword Saint lay in this.

Both had entered the Dao through sword techniques, but the Dao they chose was different, and the difficulty was different.

Just as Holy Son Haoyue said before, minor paths were not as good as major paths, and the Sun and Moon Sword Dao was undoubtedly one of the top Sword Daos.

However, the Gentle Sword Dao and Thousand Thread Sword Dao were relatively much dimmer and inferior.

The Sword Saint, who was sitting quietly, suddenly narrowed his eyes, staring at the young man on the stage.

He suddenly remembered that seeing the other party carving him in the courtyard and probing him was the same person.

"You..."

Lin Qingying stared at the split clouds and the cracked battle stage in front of her, somewhat blankly lost in thought.

This was, his swordsmanship?

At this moment, Lin Qingying suddenly understood why he could use Painting Dao to guide her.

She also suddenly understood why she had never seen Li Hao cultivate. Such a realm of Sword Dao had already reached the pinnacle, and ordinary cultivation could no longer make progress.

"Are you a swordsman?"

Lin Qingying was somewhat dazed, unbelievable. She had been with him for so long, and she had never seen Li Hao draw a sword. On the contrary, he was very interested in refining medicinal herbs, painting and carving, and playing chess with people. As a result, Li Hao was actually a swordsman?!

"Barely."

Li Hao glanced at her and replied.

Lin Qingying's expression became complicated. During this period, she had been practicing swordsmanship in front of him, never avoiding him. If she had known that the other party was a swordsman, she would never have done so, because that would be equivalent to exposing her sword to another swordsman, which was a major taboo in sword practice.

"It's okay, your swordsmanship is worthy of my sword, it can be considered that a famous sword has found its master."

Her eyes dimmed again, and she said in a low voice.

"This is your swordsmanship."

Li Hao stared at her, the Sun and Moon Sword Intent had eroded too deeply into the other party's heart, and her swordsmanship realm had declined severely, even failing to recognize her own Sword Dao.

"My swordsmanship?"

Lin Qingying was stunned, and then looked at the cracks on the ground. Did her swordsmanship have such power?

At this moment, Holy Son Haoyue had slowly turned around, but the previously indifferent and cold expression on his face had now become grim and icy cold, and a strong and blazing killing intent appeared in his eyes.

The sword that just brushed past his body made his hair stand on end, giving him a chilling feeling, and under the traction of that feeling, his Sword Dao actually loosened a bit. The other party actually affected his Sword Dao!

This was absolutely intolerable!

"Is this the confidence you have to exchange swords with me?"

Holy Son Haoyue exuded blazing divine light, but his eyes were cold:

"Okay, I agree to what you said just now!"

Hearing Holy Son Haoyue's words, there was an exclamation under the stage. Holy Son Haoyue was going to compete in Sword Dao with the other party?

But at this moment, no one questioned it anymore. The sword that seemed to cut off heaven and earth made many disciples realize that this Alchemist Qingfeng was not simple, or rather, he should be called Swordsman Qingfeng!

Lin Qingying's expression changed slightly when she heard Holy Son Haoyue's words, but she stared at Li Hao and said:

"Besides his swordsmanship realm, his own power is also very strong, you have to be careful, I'll go down first, lest I hinder you."

At this moment, she had realized that Li Hao's strength was definitely not simple either.

"No need."

Li Hao shook his head, not letting her leave.

This sword was for her, and he wanted to take this opportunity to shatter the Sun and Moon Sword Intent in her heart, and help her recast her Sword Heart and Sword Intent!

Lin Qingying was stunned, looking at Li Hao in confusion.

"Dealing with him, one sword is enough."

Li Hao said softly, "Just watch carefully."

Lin Qingying was stunned, somewhat lost in thought.

If it had been before, she would have thought Li Hao was crazy, an alchemist who couldn't see the strength and terror of Holy Son Haoyue. But now that Li Hao had displayed his swordsmanship, it was enough to show that he was also a swordsman, so the battle would have some measure.

Li Hao's words spread, and there was an uproar outside the arena.

Facing Holy Son Haoyue, who had just won the title of Sword God and was the strongest young generation in the Holy Land, he dared to utter such arrogant words?!

Could it be that the other party really thought that one sword could defeat Holy Son Haoyue?!

On the Holy Platform, Qiu Wuhen, Bian Ruxue, and many other Holy Sons and Holy Daughters were also slightly lost in thought.

The sword that Li Hao had just swung was too shocking, it was a realm of swordsmanship that completely surpassed theirs, the sword had entered the Dao!

A look of shock also appeared on Qiu Wuhen's face, unbelievable that this young man who was fishing with him at Sword Master's place was also a swordsman!

When fishing on weekdays, the other party always looked happy when he caught a fish, and he couldn't see at all that he was practicing swordsmanship through fishing.

But now, the Sword Dao realm that the other party displayed far surpassed him.

Sword Intent and Sword Dao, seemingly only one step away, were actually vastly different.

Without Dao Enlightenment, one would be outside the door for life, wasting years.

With Dao Enlightenment, one step in, one would enter the hall and room, transcend the ordinary and enter the holy, no longer mortal!

Bian Ruxue's eyes were somewhat dazed, and the brilliant sword made her vaguely see the shadow of the ultimate sword.

Had someone already approached what she was pursuing?

On the battle stage, Holy Son Haoyue also heard Li Hao's undisguised words, and a hint of cold killing intent appeared in his eyes.

But he restrained himself, coldly saying, "Since you are so confident, then let me have a good look, don't disappoint me!"

As he spoke, his aura suddenly soared, and the Heavenly Veins appeared behind him, like a vortex reaching the sky.

Divine power erupted, and his hair became dazzling golden.

Then, his Primordial Spirit merged into his physical body, and at the same time, a majestic Heaven and Earth Dharma Form emerged.

This was the first time he had shown his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, but the sword that Li Hao had just brushed past was enough to make him so solemn!

In this sword duel, he was recovering his Sword Dao, so he could only win, not lose!

He believed that his master should also see this point, so he did not stop it, and even less so to question Li Hao's identity now.

As many Extreme Realms were displayed, the 49-layer Dao Domain also appeared, but this time, the 49-layer Dao Domain climbed again, stacking up to a 56-layer Dao Domain!

In the previous battles, Holy Son Haoyue was still holding back!

This scene shocked many people. At such a decisive moment, no one could force out his strongest power. The name of Sword God was truly deserved, and the gap between him and others was simply a chasm!

Outside the battle stage, the formation condensed again at some point.

This was a formation condensed by a Semi-Saint, enough to withstand Holy Son Haoyue's attacks.

Lin Qingying stood beside Li Hao, but the surroundings seemed to be filled with wind and sand, and the overwhelming energy stirred up, all converging in front. Just standing here, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

She looked up at the peerless figure standing in the air. The other party suppressed millions of disciples in Sword Ancestor Holy Land, and could be called a peerless prodigy, and at this moment, he also showed peerless demeanor.

Her gaze fell back on Li Hao, but she saw that Li Hao was still standing quietly, holding the green blade, as if unmoved by everything in front of him.

"Sun and Moon Sword Intent, Heaven and Earth Reflection!!"

Holy Son Haoyue's eyes were like golden wheels of the sun and moon, blooming with dazzling divine light. He suddenly roared to the sky, and the clouds and moon in the sky were layered, and the sun and moon seemed to appear at the same time.

His body merged into the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, and the hundred-zhang tall Dharma Form was as majestic as a giant peak.

Sun and Moon sword light condensed in his hand, and the brilliant and surging Sword Intent made the disciples outside the formation feel vast and shocked.

On the Holy Platform, many Holy Sons and Holy Daughters changed color, with deep jealousy and shock in their eyes.

Too strong, although they were both Holy Sons, Holy Son Haoyue had surpassed them too much!

With such Sword Intent, if he entered the Dao, his Sun and Moon Great Dao would be among the extremely strong ones even among many Semi-Saints.

The light and power of the sky all converged, and in the next moment, Holy Son Haoyue's Dharma Form was like an angry-eyed deity, suddenly slashing towards Li Hao.

The sword light reflected heaven and earth, carrying the oppression of the sun, moon, and stars, as if to shatter the entire battle stage!

Facing this Sun and Moon Sword Intent again, Lin Qingying's pupils shrank, and fear appeared in her eyes. The Sun and Moon Sword Intent in her mind became clearer and more chaotic at this moment, filling her Sea of Consciousness, making her feel irresistible.

That was a lifelong shadow, it was the other party's Sword Intent imprinted, no matter what realm she was in, she would feel fear whenever she saw this Sword Intent!

She clenched her fingers tightly, biting her lip until it bled, but still stubbornly held on, without fear or evasion.

Under this mighty divine sword, a breeze suddenly seemed to rise.

"The gentlest thing in the world dashes against and overcomes the hardest thing in the world!"

A soft whisper sounded, and Li Hao raised the sword in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the panel, where a large number of poetry and book experience increase prompts popped up.

The green blade in his hand suddenly bloomed with a brilliant sword light, the sword light was like thunder, like lightning, and like a gust of wind in the world.

The wind rose, and the green blade met it, like an immortal pointing the way, gently tapping.

Using a three-foot sword to strike against the divine sword light of the Dharma Form, like an ant shaking a tree, carrying a sense of insignificant shock.

With a bang, the seemingly fierce Sun and Moon Divine Sword suddenly stopped, and then suddenly shattered, turning into fireworks-like flames and bursting!

And the gust of wind swept through, spreading along the divine sword, rushing into the majestic Dharma Form.

Holy Son Haoyue, standing in front of the Dharma Form's chest, suddenly felt a gentle Sword Intent, without killing intent, without sharpness, but like the wind, intangible and indistinguishable.

A look of shock and anger appeared in his eyes, and he roared, using the Dao Domain to suppress it.

But the Sword Intent was soft and weak, yet it shuttled through layers of Dao Domain, blowing past his neck.

A trace of a cut appeared, and blood seeped out.

However, the wound could not heal for a long time, and the Sword Dao remained, preventing it from healing!

Holy Son Haoyue's body trembled, his pupils shrank to the extreme, and shock appeared in his eyes, unbelievable.

He reached out and touched his neck, the wound was not large, but the humiliation was even stronger.

Undoubtedly, in this Sword Dao competition, the other party had won.

"How is this possible?!"

Holy Son Haoyue couldn't believe it, couldn't understand, his Sword Dao commanded heaven and earth, based on the sun and moon, it could be called as solid as a rock, how could it be defeated?!

On the Holy Platform, many Holy Sons and Holy Daughters were also stunned. Although the wound on Holy Son Haoyue's neck was not large, it was clearly visible. The other party's seemingly soft and weak sword could actually bypass the other party's Dao Domain and directly hit him?

Was this, Sword Dao Enlightenment?

Yao Ancestor and several other Semi-Saints all had solemn expressions. The other party not only had Sword Dao Enlightenment, but also this Gentle Sword Dao was stronger and more terrifying than they imagined.

After all, no one present had entered the Dao with Gentle Sword Dao.

The levels of Sword Dao were different, and only after competition could one distinguish the high and low.

Li Hao glanced at the other party, ignoring his shocked and furious expression, and turned to look at Lin Qingying.

This sword strike was more like a demonstration for Lin Qingying than a battle.

Lin Qingying stood there blankly, the Sun and Moon Sword Intent in her mind was shattered by the breeze that Li Hao had just swung, and the breeze and the bright sword light were also imprinted in her heart.

This was Gentle Sword Dao.

As long as she comprehended along that imprint, she would eventually cultivate this Sword Dao.

The originally shattered Sword Intent re-condensed at this moment.

A look of daze and understanding appeared in her eyes, Gentle, was this Gentleness?

"The gentlest is the strongest, the weakest is the mightiest."

Li Hao whispered, slowly saying, "Gentleness to the extreme, is not water, nor wind, but atoms!"

"Atoms?"

Lin Qingying was stunned, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes, a word she had never heard of.

Li Hao knew that in this world, it was difficult to explain, but on the path of cultivating Gentle Sword Dao, some people would also comprehend this level, but they would use other words to replace it, which could also be called utmost subtlety!

"Grains of sand can pile up to become mountains, mountains and rivers accumulate to become heaven and earth, then what are the things that pile up to form sand, what are the things that constitute water, and what are the things that condense to form wind?"

Li Hao spoke very softly, both asking and guiding.

Lin Qingying was stunned, a look of contemplation appearing in her eyes. She vaguely realized what Li Hao was saying, and her heart was somewhat shocked.

Was this Gentle Sword Dao?

Taking the foundation of all things as its basis, although the sun and moon are vast, aren't they also constructed from the smallest things?

Therefore, Gentle Sword Dao is not only not a minor path, but a very terrifying Great Dao!

Lin Qingying realized this, her heart was shocked, she even felt that if she could truly comprehend this, the strength of this Dao would even surpass the Sword Saint's Sentient Beings Sword Dao!

At this moment, she suddenly understood why Li Hao could use a seemingly easy sword to defeat the mighty Sun and Moon Divine Sword.

At the most subtle level, the other party had too many flaws and imperfections, all of which were the trajectory of his Sword Dao extension!

"This is... my Sword Dao?"

Lin Qingying was slightly lost in thought, but suddenly, she thought of something and couldn't help but look at Li Hao:

"This is my Sword Dao, are you also cultivating Gentle Sword Intent? Or are you just..."

Her heart trembled, somewhat afraid to ask.

If Li Hao was just showing her Sword Dao to her, then it meant that Li Hao himself also had a Sword Dao!

Mastering two Sword Daos!

Just her Sword Dao demonstration was so terrifying, then what would Li Hao's own Sword Dao be like, and how strong would it be?!

While the two were talking, Holy Son Haoyue's face was somewhat angrily失态, the other party was dueling swords with him, but his mind was not on him, but instead was helping Lin Qingying recast her Sword Dao.

This disregard completely enraged him.

"Take out your own Sword Dao and duel with me!"

He roared in a low voice.

Li Hao raised his head and glanced at him, indifferently saying, "My Sword Dao, you are not worthy to see."

Holy Son Haoyue's cheeks twitched, like being slapped hard in the face, feeling angry but powerless.

He knew that just based on Li Hao's Sword Dao just now, he could not defeat the other party.

He had lost this battle, and even his Sun and Moon Sword Dao, which had just reached a higher level, now had cracks, making him feel mentally broken.

"Hiding your head and showing your tail, what kind of skill is that? You master such Sword Dao, pretending to be an alchemist, who are you exactly, and what is your intention in infiltrating my Sword Ancestor Holy Land?!"

Holy Son Haoyue's eyes showed a cold light, staring at Li Hao and said.

He didn't question him earlier because he wanted to defeat Li Hao and then judge him, to perfect his own Sword Dao. Now that his Sword Dao was frustrated, he just wanted to crush Li Hao's bones into ashes.

Hearing Holy Son Haoyue's words, Lin Qingying came back to her senses, her expression suddenly changed.

She suddenly realized that Li Hao mastered such extraordinary swordsmanship, then he was definitely not an ordinary person. He had been seriously injured by enemies chasing him before, and most likely they were extremely strong enemies, even possibly existences close to Semi-Saints.

Now, showing his swordsmanship means and exposing himself for her was extremely dangerous and would also cost a great price.

Thinking of this, her expression became ugly, and she took a step forward, protecting Li Hao behind her:

"Qingfeng was injured and picked up by me to the Holy Land, he is here to recuperate, he did not deliberately infiltrate our Holy Land, and has never done anything to harm the Holy Land."

Holy Son Haoyue sneered: "How do you know he didn't deliberately get injured to get close? You are just being used, it just happened to be at the critical moment of the Sword God Battle that he came to my Holy Land, spying on Sword Dao competitions, learning my Holy Land's sword techniques, and how could he use your Sword Dao? You privately taught sword techniques to outsiders, which is also a serious crime!"

Lin Qingying's expression was ugly, she had not privately taught, but if Li Hao was a swordsman, practicing swords in front of him was also equivalent to teaching.

"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. You lost the Sword Dao battle, so you are anxious."

Li Hao said calmly.

When he stood up for Lin Qingying, he already knew that there would be such a result, and he had already calculated the pros and cons.

But he would still do it, repaying kindness with kindness, and revenge for revenge, this was his original intention. If he lost his original intention, he would no longer be himself.

He could be smashed to pieces for revenge, so why couldn't he do the same for repaying kindness.

Hearing Li Hao's words, Holy Son Haoyue's face was somewhat distorted, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching. He clenched his teeth tightly, but restrained the anger in his heart, lest he be too失态.

"When my Sun and Moon Sword Intent enters the Dao, I may not be unable to kill you, it's just a minor path, give me another ten years, and I will definitely enter the Dao!"

Killing intent appeared in his eyes. There were many existences stronger than his Sword Dao, such as the Semi-Saint Elders and the previous generation prodigies in the Dao Law Realm in the Holy Land, but their cultivation years were longer than his, and they were stronger than him, and he could accept that.

When he cultivated for another hundred years, he would only become stronger.

Li Hao knew that the other party's words were to consolidate his Dao Heart and Sword Dao, and he was too lazy to say more. With the sword just now, he could have broken Sword Intent into the other party's Sea of Consciousness, just like the other party dealt with Lin Qingying, shattering his Sword Intent and leaving a sword in his Sea of Consciousness.

But Li Hao knew that this was of little significance, the other party's master was the Sword Saint, who could help him break his Sword Intent.

The victory and defeat on the stage had been decided. Seeing that Holy Son Haoyue had really lost, the stage was actually a bit quiet, all were astonished and unbelievable.

The strongest young prodigy of Sword Ancestor Holy Land was actually defeated by Sword Dao, where did this old monster come from?

Yao Ancestor retracted her gaze from Li Hao, her eyes flickering, she turned her gaze to the Sword Saint, her beloved disciple was defeated, and now even his Sword Dao had cracks, needing her to repair, she wondered how the other party would deal with it.

She thought of the painting scroll, and the young man's clean and pure eyes, sighing in her heart, and opened her mouth with a gentle voice like fairy music:

"Alchemist Qingfeng, according to Holy Daughter Qingying, you were injured and drifted here, with your strength, you should also be a Holy Son of some Holy Land, right?"

In the previous duel, Li Hao swung out Sword Qi. Although the Myriad Manifestations attribute could cover it up, the leaked power revealed his cultivation, which was also in the Dao Inquiry Realm.

With such realm and swordsmanship, and being able to easily defeat Holy Son Haoyue, such a figure must have an extraordinary background.

If he was said to be a Holy Son from another Holy Land, personally infiltrating here and exposing himself for Lin Qingying, she would definitely not believe it.

She believed that other Semi-Saint Elders could also see this point and would not believe it, but sometimes the truth was not important, just like Holy Son Haoyue publicly crippled Lin Qingying, that was the truth, but people valued the result more, valued each other's identities.

The world admired the strong, when the strong spoke softly, people listened attentively, when the weak shouted hoarsely, no one paid attention.

Even if it was the same sentence, spoken by the weak, it would only be ridiculed, spoken by the strong, it would be regarded as the truth of a saint.

Yao Ancestor's opening at this time was to guide and make people realize that Li Hao had a great identity. Such a figure could not possibly risk infiltrating Sword Ancestor Holy Land to peek and learn.

Li Hao heard Yao Ancestor's words, and soon understood that the other party was not simply asking, he looked towards the other party, saw the other party's smiling gaze, and couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart.

Just for the kindness of giving a painting, the other party was willing to speak up for him at this moment.

"I was indeed injured and drifted here, recuperating in Holy Daughter Qingying's small courtyard, and I absolutely have no intention of offending the Holy Land," Li Hao said in a low voice.

Yao Ancestor nodded slightly, and chuckled: "Then now, what are your plans, are you going to join my Sword Ancestor Holy Land, and become a disciple of our sect, or return to your original place?"

Sword Master had also asked Li Hao this question. Li Hao's original plan was to stay honestly in Sword Ancestor Holy Land, cultivate carving, fishing, chess and other skills to the eighth or ninth rank, or comprehend one of them to the tenth rank, and use this to sacrifice to the Dao and become a Saint, and go to the Void Saint for revenge.

But now, he knew that such peaceful days were impossible anymore.

Where there was struggle, there was right and wrong, and there could be no peace.

"Although I am willing to become a disciple of your esteemed sect, I have a great enemy, and if I join your sect, it may bring disaster to your sect."

Li Hao cupped his hands and said in a low voice.

Yao Ancestor chuckled, and said, "Were you chased and killed by enemies to this point? Your Sword Dao is so powerful, your enemy wouldn't be a Semi-Saint, right? Even so, my Sword Ancestor Holy Land can protect you!"

Mountain Ancestor and other elders were all sizing up Li Hao, hearing Yao Ancestor's meaning, with Li Hao's swordsmanship and strength, no matter what his age was, he could be considered a prodigy-level figure. If he could be absorbed into the Holy Land, it would indeed be a good thing.

Li Hao was slightly silent. He knew that some things had to be explained clearly now, otherwise it would be difficult to justify himself.

"More than that."

He said in a low voice.

"More than that?"

Yao Ancestor was slightly stunned, staring at him and said, "More than one Semi-Saint?"

Lin Qingying also looked at Li Hao, shock appearing in her eyes. Back then, Li Hao was severely injured, and more than one Semi-Saint was chasing him?

How was that possible, Semi-Saint's attack was already extremely terrifying, and there was more than one.

Li Hao shook his head and said, "Not a Semi-Saint."

Hearing this, Yao Ancestor was stunned, and then her pupils shrank. Not a Semi-Saint, then could it be a Saint?

The other party's enemy was actually a Saint?!

Lin Qingying also reacted, looking at Li Hao in astonishment, Li Hao was severely injured by a Saint back then?!

Holy Son Haoyue, standing in the air, also heard this, and couldn't help but change his expression, looking at this young man holding a sword in shock. The other party's enemy was a Saint?!

The many disciples under the stage also reacted, Saints were like the sun and moon in the sky, unreachable, even listening to their Dao voice was a luxury, but Li Hao had provoked a Saint, and still an enemy?

Yao Ancestor was stunned for a moment, and came back to her senses. She knew that Li Hao would not lie about such things, after all, it involved Saints.

She smiled wryly in her heart. If it was a Saint, it was indeed not something she could decide to offend for absorbing a disciple like Li Hao.

She looked at the Sword Saint, who was also staring at Li Hao. He knew that if he asked Li Hao which Saint it was, the other party would most likely not say, otherwise it would be equivalent to exposing himself.

And being able to provoke a Saint was mostly for some deeper reasons.

The situation here was somewhat complicated, and such a person was indeed not suitable to join Sword Ancestor Holy Land.

However, would it also be a good thing to interrogate him and hand him over to his Saint enemy?

His eyes flickered, and as he was thinking, suddenly a voice sounded, reaching the venue.

"He is a disciple of the Supreme Saint Sect, with outstanding talent, only 28 years old this year, not someone that my Sword Ancestor Holy Land can contain."

Along with the voice, a figure floated over, followed by two sword attendants wearing copper masks.

The one who came was Sword Master.
