Chapter 366: Supreme Sword Dao (1)

"Brat, my patience is limited!!" The young master kicked again with astonishing speed, but this time his target was not the roasted fish anymore; it was Xiaoyao himself.

This move revealed the young master's true strength without reservation. Indeed, he had the power of a Rank 5 Martial Artist in his early stage, and at his age, such achievement made him one of the best within this land.

"You really irritate me!" Xiaoyao said with slight frown as he deftly dodged.

Rank 5 martial artists were indeed much more common in this place. One might run into them anytime, but also might not encounter any throughout their entire life; it all depended on the odds.

Undoubtedly, wherever Xiaoyao appeared seemed to have a high chance of encountering such individuals, and thus, his perception of Rank 5 martial artists being common was quite reasonable.

However, even if they were more common, Xiaoyao's strength didn't seem enough for him to compete with the young master. Furthermore, Gu was not around; otherwise, this would have been a small issue easily resolved by Gu.

"You actually managed to evade my attack Looks like you're hiding your true power! Tell me, what's your purpose in coming close to me!!" The young master asked, overthinking the situation.

At times, being too smart could lead to such problems. Overthinking complicated things that should be simple; this was precisely what the young master did, thinking everything revolved around plots aimed at him.

"..." Xiaoyao looked at the young master and shook his head with a sigh. He then deliberately moved away from him to the other side of the river.

Why bother dealing with someone like that It would only cause more trouble, which was the last thing Xiaoyao wanted.

"What does this mean" The young master got furious; Xiaoyao's disregard for him was too obvious to ignore.

"Stay away from me. I don't want anything to do with you!" Xiaoyao casually replied.

"... "

How unique!

Those around the young master, who also felt disregarded by Xiaoyao, found his disregard quite amusing and unique. If not for their proximity to the young master, they would have burst out laughing; in fact, they were already delighted inside, never expecting someone could infuriate him this much.

However, this boy seemed too clueless about the situation and might end up suffering greatly!

Sigh...

"You think I care to deal with you Do you even realize who you are dealing with" The young master's ire burned through his veins.

Xiaoyao remained indifferent, replying blandly: "Then why do you insist on talking to me If you’re bored, just keep going!"

"... "

The crowd fell silent. This boy was truly infuriating; his words would surely provoke the young master's pride.

"Don't think I won’t move against you! Don't push me too far!!" The young master’s fury had reached a breaking point, ready to erupt at any moment.

"Alright, my mistake. Please leave! There’s no point in quarreling with this insignificant person here." Xiaoyao didn’t want trouble and lowered his tone.

For Xiaoyao, it was better not to add more problems to his plate. It wasn't worth arguing over a moment of irritation with someone who was just a young master. He had important matters to attend to and couldn’t afford the time for such nonsense.

In Xiaoyao's words, if a dog barks at me, do I bark back

If this mindset were known by the young master, it would cause an explosion of unprecedented magnitude...

"... "

Although Xiaoyao seemed to submit, everyone could sense his underlying disdain and reluctance to tangle with the young master. This behavior was highly unusual and unheard of in their experience.

They believed that this young master wouldn’t just let it go; if he did, then he wouldn't be the same person!

Their observation showed the young master's face turning dark red as his gaze burned with fire, having never been treated so disdainfully before, especially by someone who seemed unremarkable. It was an unprecedented humiliation.

Lighting a fire and continuing to roast fish...

Xiaoyao didn’t pay attention to the young master's changing expressions; he moved with barely noticeable speed, resuming roasting his freshly caught large fish from across the river.

Seeing Xianyao like this, the young noble's anger rose from his organs and he shouted loudly: "Brat, you are asking for death!!"

The young noble then unsheathed his sword to attack. This time around, he had murderous intentions regardless of how Xianyao managed to get information about him; he believed that with his wit, he could find out the truth without much difficulty.

"Really troublesome!"

Xianyao frowned as he held a fish and put it by the fire. He immediately moved away from the spot because he lacked the ability to withstand an attack from an Emperor Realm martial artist unless using special means.

Therefore, Xianyao chose to avoid the attacks. However, avoiding them was also a skill as his current strength only reached mid General stage and was still far off from reaching the Emperor stage. The difference in power between both stages was too great.

In such situations of disparity in strength, one would usually be killed instantly; even if one could avoid being attacked, they would sustain injuries. However, Xianyao could completely dodge attacks without receiving any injury and it was also rather easy for him.

This all came down to timing. If someone knew how to dodge properly, then there were possibilities of success, though such people existed like an extinct species due to their rarity.

To dodge the attack from a martial artist at the Emperor stage required one to have certain strength; otherwise, even if they knew how to dodge, they wouldn't be able to do so as their speed would not suffice. It was akin to knowing that a meteor was about to crash and having everyone know it was safe if they could evade it, but lacking sufficient speed.

Xianyao happened to have the ability to avoid attacks from an early-stage Emperor Realm martial artist; however, it became more difficult when dealing with middle-stage ones. Generally speaking, Emperor stage martial artists seldom attacked General stage ones as this would be too damaging to their reputation.

This young noble was a rare gem and there wouldn't likely be another one like him!

Aside from having certain strength, the most critical thing was vision. One needed to see what kind of move the opponent would use and predict accurately every single change he made so as to calculate places where the opponent couldn’t reach and dodge.

The above conditions were necessary; one also had to be quick since there was almost no time for prediction and calculation, which was the most difficult part. Both these actions required some time, and although it was important to react immediately, they weren't as critical as being fast enough in predicting and calculating.

In other words, even if one possessed accurate predictive abilities and could dodge an opponent's attacks under certain conditions, if predictions and calculations were not done instantly, then dodging would still be impossible. This was the hardest condition to meet.

"This is a coincidence!"

The young noble frowned as he watched Xianyao who had already moved away from him. He didn't believe that Xianyao could have such conditions, for he himself possessed them and believed no one could predict his moves when he attacked.

The young noble began to take the matter seriously; using a very bizarre sword technique which was a move of which he was quite proud as it was a widely circulated but rarely mastered sword art because of its complexity. He managed to master this sword art due to his incomparable wisdom!

Yes, that's what he said…

"Eh" Xianyao barely avoided the attack with difficulty and this time around, his sleeve was nearly hit by the blade; yes, it was just a slight touch on his sleeve.

Xianyao’s eyes revealed some delight as if he had discovered something amusing. This sword art was one he had never seen before, so naturally, it was interesting. He noticed that sparring with this young noble might also be fun and could easily kill time.

Of course, Xianyao didn't necessarily have a huge interest in any new sword arts; however, he found great interest in the young noble's sword art as it seemed very complex and intricate. Indeed, when this sword technique was created, its creator had fused all the essences of every sword art into one set that could be considered complete.

Back then, the person who invented this sword art was an unparalleled prodigy in martial arts; his level of swordsmanship was unmatched and he challenged many top-notch sword experts across the land. After witnessing countless sects' sword manuals, he created a new masterpiece that comprehensively incorporated all schools of thought.

However, due to its complexity, very few people managed to master it completely; learning just a couple of moves was enough for someone to become an excellent swordsman. When people saw one practicing this technique, they would often ask how many techniques had been mastered.

Mastery of more than three techniques made one an expert, mastery over five made one a top-notch expert, and knowledge of seven was already very rare, making one a super-expert. Mastery of ten was the hallmark of an unparalleled master.

Mastering all twenty-three moves would make one a legendary genius who could rank among the top ten in the world without even leaving their sect!

This sword art was called Supreme Sword Dao, which lived up to its name as it was a supreme manual of swordsmanship. There were a total of 23 moves and they were also known collectively as the 23 Supreme Swords.

The number of mastered techniques wasn't necessarily in order; some might know the first few while others knew later ones, with some learning consecutive moves and others skipping over a couple before proceeding. However, no one had ever managed to master the last move, making it legendary!

Regardless of anything else, this Supreme Sword Dao was a miraculous tome that could turn a novice swordsman into an expert.

To obtain such a manual wasn't too difficult as almost every sect possessed complete copies due to the demon-like actions of its creator. After creating it, he had inscribed it in book form and presented it to the sects that contributed their sword arts' essences.
