2742 Three Free Moves
“You want to spar with me?”
Su Zimo looked at the naive sword cultivator named Nie Chen opposite him and wondered if this person had gotten the wrong guy.
However, on second thought, the distance between the Heavenly World and the Sword World was too far. The people of the Sword World did not know who he was at all, let alone what methods he had.
It was understandable for this person to come and spar.
However, for the current Su Zimo, his Grade 12 Green Lotus True Body had already grown to its peak after entering the Perfected One realm.
Even without using his bloodline, divine powers or secret skills, he could crush all Convergence Perfected Immortals with his Green Lotus True Body alone!
Beiming Xue was still in the cave abode, waiting for him to return to heal her.
Furthermore, a large amount of energy from the Emperor’s Tomb was acc.u.mulated in his body.
After removing the two curses, he was prepared to refine and absorb the energy to break through to the Celestial Being realm. To think that Nie Chen would come knocking at this moment.
When Jian Chen saw that Su Zimo was silent, he thought that Su Zimo was worried. Therefore, he went forward and said, “Fellow Daoist Su, you’ve been in the Sword World for a period of time. When my junior brother heard that you’re from the Heavenly World, he was interested in seeing your methods.”
“Fellow Daoist Su, don’t worry. Junior Brother Nie Chen will know his limits.”
“Sure.”
Su Zimo nodded.
He only wanted to end things quickly and return to his cave abode to heal Beiming Xue before continuing his cultivation.
This Nie Chen was not even considered a challenge to him.
He had a good impression of the Sword World. It was not appropriate for him to reject a visit from someone to spar.
Furthermore, the Sword World had always treated him with respect. Even this person who came to challenge him was merely a Convergence Perfected One realm sword cultivator.
When Jian Chen saw Su Zimo agree immediately, he was stunned and surprised.
The commotion here attracted more than half of the sword cultivators of Carnage Sword Peak and they gathered together. More and more people gathered in the area with excited expressions.
Nie Chen took a step forward with a calm expression. “Fellow Daoist Su, you’re a guest from afar after all. You can attack first. I’ll let you have three free moves.”
At that point, cheers sounded from the crowd.
Nie Chen took the initiative to give up the initiative and let the other party attack. In the eyes of many sword cultivators, giving Su Zimo three moves was already enough respect.
“You want me to attack first?”
Su Zimo had a strange expression.
Nie Chen nodded slightly. “You can attack as much as you want. I won’t retaliate within three moves! However, you have to be careful after three moves.”
Su Zimo smiled and nodded.
Jian Chen took a deep breath and declared, “The two of you, get ready—begin!”
The moment he said that, Su Zimo’s figure flashed and he arrived before Nie Chen in an instant at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed!
Nie Chen was shocked.
He was so fast!
As he had just said that he wanted to give the other party three moves, Nie Chen could not retaliate and could only retreat instinctively.
Su Zimo reached out and grabbed the sword in Nie Chen’s arms.
Before Nie Chen could react, Su Zimo’s palm had already grabbed the hilt of the sword.
Buzz!
A resplendent sword light flashed accompanied by a clear sword hum.
The many sword cultivators watching only felt a flash of light that disappeared instantly.
The next moment, Su Zimo had already returned to his original spot, as though he had never moved.
The moment the two of them made contact, it was so fast that many sword cultivators did not manage to see clearly what happened in between.
Su Zimo had a calm expression.
As for Nie Chen, his expression was a little ugly and he remained silent.
“What happened just now?”
“I’m not sure. I don’t think that’s three moves, right? Why aren’t they fighting anymore?”
“That sword light earlier on. Did Senior Brother Nie Chen fail to control himself and attack in advance?”
As the sword cultivators discussed, a trace of blood gradually seeped out from Nie Chen’s glabella.
An eye-catching drop of scarlet blood flowed down slowly and trickled from his nose.
This…
The discussions around them gradually stopped.
In that split second earlier on, Nie Chen was actually injured?
Apart from Nie Chen and Su Zimo, not many people could see clearly what happened earlier on.
Su Zimo closed in and pulled out the sword in Nie Chen’s arms right in front of him. He pierced Nie Chen’s glabella with it and returned his sword to its sheath.
Nie Chen knew very well that Su Zimo had a hundred ways to kill him after that series of actions!
As for him, he could not dodge at all!
The difference was way too great!
If the other party were to attack, he would not even have the chance to draw his sword!
Nie Chen took a deep breath of air with a grim expression and said in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Su, I have to admit that I won’t be able to defeat you if you attack first.”
Su Zimo smiled gently.
This sword cultivator was rather straightforward and did not fly into a rage out of humiliation. Instead, he admitted that he had already been defeated.
Nie Chen said, “However, my methods are all based on this sword. I want to challenge you again and won’t give in anymore. Fellow Daoist, please fulfill my wish.”
This time round, Nie Chen put away the arrogance in his heart completely and did not dare to be negligent at all.
“Sure.”
Su Zimo nodded casually.
Buzz!
This time round, Nie Chen pulled out his sword immediately and placed it horizontally in front of his chest. His body exuded the killing intent of the Sword Dao.
Nie Chen had already treated Su Zimo as the strongest opponent in his life and did not dare to hold back at all!
There were still no unnecessary movements from Su Zimo. As though he was taking a leisurely stroll, he took a step forward and arrived before Nie Chen instantly.
Although the footwork seemed casual, it was actually a combination of the Dharmic Dao profundities of the Nine Palace Subtle Steps and Plow Heaven Stride.
Not only did he cross the void instantly, he even released an aura of invincibility that was soul-stirring!
Even Celestial Being Perfected Immortals might not be able to seize the initiative, let alone a Convergence Perfected Immortal.
Su Zimo attacked and grabbed the sword in Nie Chen’s hand.
Nie Chen channeled his Dao Fruit crazily and b.a.l.l.s of Dharmic Dao halos bloomed behind his head. The sword in his hand spun and released an extremely sharp sword momentum!
However, Su Zimo was even faster!
Before Nie Chen could release all his sword momentum, Su Zimo grabbed his wrist and squeezed gently.
Nie Chen was in pain and released his grip. The sword had already landed in Su Zimo’s hand.
Su Zimo turned the sword and sword light flashed before disappearing instantly.
His figure had already retreated to his original spot.
The two of them were still standing 100 feet apart. Nie Chen held a long sword in his arms, as though nothing had happened.
However, there was another blood scar on his glabella!
If that sword went any deeper, he would have died on the spot!
“I’ve lost.”
After a long silence, Nie Chen said slowly.
Thereafter, he cupped his fists towards Su Zimo and turned to leave silently.
A sigh sounded from the surrounding crowd.
A look of pity flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes as well.
To think that Nie Chen, a Convergence Perfected Immortal of Carnage Sword Peak, could not defeat this person as well.
Furthermore, the technique that this person had just revealed was indeed terrifying. Not only was his movement technique extremely fast, his physique was also powerful.
He could actually defeat Nie Chen who held a sword with his bare hands!
Jian Chen wondered if he could win confidently if he was the one up against Su Zimo.
