Chapter 787: Chapter 787 – Ximen Chuixue
Chapter 787: Ximen Chuixue
Behind the small garden behind the courtyard, Happy and Responsible Hero saw Ximen Chuixue, who was waiting for them there . Just like he was when Happy saw him in his previous life, he was very young, and he appeared to only be in his thirties . He was dressed in white, and his side profile was resolute and arrogant . His eyes and eyebrows were beautiful, and when he heard the sounds of footsteps, his gaze, which was as sharp as a sword, shone, but that light soon faded away . He remained still while he continued to wipe the cold and bright longsword in his hands . His actions were really light, and he seemed to have cast his entire heart and soul into the matter . He gave off the feeling that he loved his sword very much .
This was Ximen Chuixue, the matchless swordsman who was said to be the closest to god and who was completely immersed in the path of the sword .
When Happy smelled the faint medicinal fragrance that came wafting into his nose, Happy felt refreshed .
‘As expected of the place a peerless swordsman stays, it’s pretty interesting . ’
“Master . ” Responsible Hero walked a few steps forward, but right when he wanted to speak up to give his master a reminder, Ximen Chuixue raised his hand without turning his head around and interrupted whatever he wanted to say next .
“Continue training . ”
His hoarse voice was strangely magnetic . It was not soft, but not heavy either when it rose in the courtyard . His voice contained an awe-inspiring might that no one could fight against, which was why Responsible Hero nodded without hesitation .
“Understood . ”
Then, he turned around and left .
Ximen Chuixue said nothing else . He just focused on wiping his longsword until it was so bright that it was dazzling . It was only then that he carefully returned his sword into its sheath .
Happy stood by the side quietly and did not say anything to interrupt him . He noticed that Ximen Chuixue’s sword sheath was very normal . It was black, but it was slightly longer than a normal sword sheath . It was about the same length as Nation Protecting Divine Sword .
Once Ximen Chuixue put away his longsword, he still did not say anything . Instead, he calmly walked toward a rack that was filled with many medicinal herbs not too far away . He arranged the medicinal herbs on the rack with his gaze lowered, and he was very serious in his task .

Happy could not hold himself back from following him .
“You’re good for being able to receive Responsible Hero’s sword draw . ”
“Senior Ximen, you praise me too much . ” Happy appeared to be incredibly humble in front of Ximen Chuixue, but that was because this person was a true elite among Myth Realm martial artists, and he was unlike Jinjiu and Yinshi, who were half-baked Myth Realm martial artists .
“The Murong Clan’s sword technique is pretty good, but I’ve never had the chance to see it . ” Ximen Chuixue did not react to how Happy reacted to him . While he rearranged the medicinal herbs, he said in a conversational tone, “It’s been a long time since I fought against someone . Since you’re able to receive one sword slash from my unworthy disciple, you should be able to withstand half the strength from my sword . Do you dare stand against me as my opponent?”
Happy put on a slightly surprised expression before he wrapped his fist in his palm . “Senior, if you’re willing to grant me your instructions, I will be eternally grateful . ”
The system notification arrived .
“Ding!
“Receive Ximen Chuixue’s instructions . If you live through three slashes, you will gain Ximen Chuixue’s affection . Once you receive three slashes successfully, you will trigger the quest to investigate Sword of Heavenly Lake Plate in depth . If you fail, you will die!”
When he heard the notification from the system, Happy’s pupils shrank, and he was stunned silent .
‘If I fail, I die?!’
At that moment, Ximen Chuixue finally looked up and put on a slightly praising expression . “It’s been a long time since anyone came to me to challenge me . As expected, newborn babies are not afraid of even tigers . The wanderers say that a matchless genius came out of the Murong Clan, and today, allow me to see just how strong you are . Don’t worry, I will not use my full strength against you . I will only use half of my strength, and I will only attack three times .
“Observe!”
His final sentence was spoken with a louder volume .
Right when he finished speaking, Happy suddenly scowled . His hair stood up, and he sensed an unprecedented threat as well as a mighty pressure come pressing down on him from Ximen Chuixue!
At some point of time, Ximen Chuixue had already placed his hand on his sword hilt .
A powerful sense of danger seized Happy’s throat like an invisible hand and cut off his breathing!

Happy’s heart tensed! He said nothing else and held his Nation Protecting Divine Sword . A dazzling light bloomed in his hand .
Whine!
A brilliant snowflake as well as a dazzling light intersected with each other in the air .
Happy’s attack speed, the explosive attack, and his action in retreating was done in one smooth motion . If Responsible Hero were here, he will definitely find himself in disbelief, because Happy’s speed within that instant did not lose to his!
Everything might seem to have happened over a long period of time, but the dazzling light swiftly vanished like melted snow, while the brilliant snowflake charged toward Happy like a flash of lightning .
But Emperor Shocks World was not a normal attack .
As a secret technique, the small silver dragon charged into the snowflakes without caring about its safety at all, and both the dragon and snowflake negated each other’s attack .
“Not bad!” Ximen Chuixue praised Happy, which was something he rarely did to anyone, but before he finished speaking, he noticed that once Happy drew his sword, he executed eighteen sword slashes within that instant when the dragon negated the snowflake’s damage .
Each sword glare did not contain any sound of wind, and it was like light flashing past his eyes . They were all as fast as lightning, and within the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Ximen Chuixue .
Surprise shone in Ximen Chuixue’s eyes .
‘What a fast sword technique!’
Naturally, he did not know that when the system gave Happy the notification and during the moment he exposed the signs of his intention to attack, Happy had already entered his battle mode, and he was prepared to fight with everything he had .
Happy did not dare to treat a powerful martial artist in Myth Realm with any impertinence .
The eighteen sword slashes he executed in an instant not only covered all the directions in which Ximen Chuixue could possibly dodge, they even worked together with the wall behind Ximen Chuixue to form a cage .
Right when he attacked, he went straight for a lightning fast kill .
“Good technique!”
A fighting spirit that had never appeared in Ximen Chuixue during the battle burned, and it was reflected in his eyes . His longsword released a series of cold snowflakes, and with the most direct method, he crushed all of Happy’s attacks in the air .
Cling cling clang clang!
During the endless sounds of sounds clashing against each other, the lightning flashes that shot forward were instantly dispersed!
Ximen Chuixue did not try to hide his technique any longer . He moved like the wind, and his body was like lightning when he crushed the remaining force from the sword glares . His body and sword fused into one to turn into a snow-white afterimage, and he released his promised final sword slash in the duel .
It was like a cold light that shot through the dispersing lightning glares .
At this moment, Happy shut his eyes and quickly formed a seal with his hands to receive Ximen Chuixue’s cold sword flash . He pushed three of his fingers together with great difficulty to produce a sword qi that was filled with a destruction presence .
Three Dragons Sword Qi!
Under Happy’s powerful spiritual senses, he saw that Three Dragons Sword Qi had coincidentally crashed into the cold sword flash Ximen Chuixue executed among the shattered sword glares .
Boom!
Violent wind roared violently and wreaked havoc in the courtyard . Ximen Chuixue stood still in the vortex where they fought, and his robes fluttered . His feet did not move, but the shattered sword glare crashed violently into the medicinal herb rack behind Ximen Chuixue and destroyed it . The backyard was now in a mess .
Happy grunted . He took a few staggering steps backward before he regained his footing . His chest heaved, and his face was incredibly pale . He gasped for breath, but his eyes shone with delight and excitement .
The Three Dragons Sword Qi he released just now was already very weak, but under the effect from Nine Yang Divine Skill’s body fortification, he managed to get through it with brute force .
“Senior Ximen, as promised, I lasted through three of your sword slashes…”
The surprise on Ximen Chuixue’s face remained for a few seconds before he sighed . “During the final slash, I could not hold myself back from using seven-tenths of my strength . I didn’t expect that you would be able to be fine even after receiving . It’s no wonder then why you were able to easily defeat my unworthy disciple . ”
As he spoke, he bent down and picked up a small herb from the disorderly ground .
“Eat it . It can cure your internal injuries . Just now, Responsible Hero came to me saying that you have business with me . You can tell me what it is now . ”
