The God of Sky and Earth

Chapter 675: A Bet (1)

With the Terrifying Star Blade in his possession, Su Yi had high hopes and expectations for his knife skills. Although he had successfully cultivated the Three Sabres of the Raging Dragon, he knew that his knife techniques were still lacking, much like his previous swordsmanship. The Foundations of Swordsmanship would help him improve his basic knife skills.

For several days, Su Yi focused on practicing the simplest aspects of the Foundations of Swordsmanship.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Though simple and mundane, Su Yi immersed himself in the practice, fully dedicated. At times, he would deliver powerful chops, and other times, he would effortlessly swing the knife.

In the end, Su Yi took off his shirt and dived under the waterfall. The waterfall was like wild animals rushing and pouring down.

For the past few days, Su Yi spent two hours every day practicing in the waterfall.

With his body in the water, Su Yi held a big knife in his hand. Sometimes, he smoothly swept away the autumn leaves with the wind, and sometimes he swept with the force of a thunderstorm, causing the water to splash and create a mist in the air.

The waterfall poured down, but Su Yi didn't use any energy, yet the big knife in his hand was unaffected.

This was a kind of tempering. Su Yi used the waterfall to refine the foundation of his knife skills. If someone were to see this, they would surely be amazed. Even for a practitioner, it would be difficult to withstand the impact of the waterfall without the support of energy, let alone practice knife skills under the pouring waterfall.

But Su Yi achieved it. Fearless in his physical body, he held the big knife tightly. Under the raging waterfall that resembled charging beasts, he calmly made continuous sweeping, chopping, flicking, slicing, skimming, restraining, beheading, and thrusting movements...

Inside the waterfall, a figure suddenly appeared, gliding out and landing in the valley.

This figure was none other than Lifetaken Yama Xi Wuqing. After eight days, his pale face had regained some color, and he had changed into a clean black robe, his previous robe stained with blood. It seemed that he had a preference for black. His disheveled black hair was now tied behind his shoulders.

As Xi Wuqing looked at the figure in the waterfall, his expression changed, showing a hint of surprise.

"Swish!"

From within the waterfall, Su Yi swung his sword with the speed of lightning, cutting through the water curtain and causing enormous waves.

"Swoosh..."

A surge of energy flowed beneath his feet as Su Yi's figure glided out. He was shirtless, with wet hair covering his face.

"Splish splash..."

With the release of fire elemental energy, his wet hair and pants instantly dried, and Su Yi landed beside Xi Wuqing.

"How are your injuries, senior?" Su Yi noticed Xi Wuqing earlier and smiled slightly, putting away his powerful Xuan Weapon into the space bag.

"I'm already fine, but it might take some time to fully recover," Xi Wuqing replied, his gaze constantly falling on Su Yi, as if trying to see him clearly again.

"That's good."

Su Yi put on a blue robe and adjusted his appearance, wearing a smile.

"Were you just practicing knife techniques?"

Xi Wuqing looked at Su Yi and asked, seemingly curious.

"Just basic knife techniques, I'm afraid it's not worthy of the senior's attention," Su Yi didn't hide anything, as it was just the foundation of knife techniques, the basic skills.

"A towering building starts from level ground. With your current cultivation, it's rare to see someone practice basic knife techniques so seriously," Xi Wuqing said, expressing his admiration.

Xi Wuqing didn't try to hide his admiration. Considering Su Yi's current level of cultivation and his young age, it was impressive that he had no arrogance and could still focus on practicing the basics of swordsmanship. Few people could compare to this kind of mentality.

"Senior, you're too kind. It's simply because I haven't mastered the fundamentals. I have no choice but to start practicing them all over again," Su Yi replied with a faint smile, realizing that he lacked the basic skills in swordsmanship.

"Haha, you're modest, kid," Xi Wuqing laughed. He could easily tell that Su Yi's swordsmanship displayed during their previous encounter was extraordinary.

Su Yi hesitated for a moment before asking Xi Wuqing, "Senior, why were you attacked by strong members of the Tianlong Sect in the Forest of Demons? Do you have a grudge with them?"

The Tianlong Sect is a formidable place, not just an ordinary mountain gate. If they find out that you meddled, you'll have angered the Fire Dragon Master by severing three of his fingers. The Tianlong Sect won't let you off either. Are you starting to feel afraid now? Regretting it?

Xi Wuqing, looking at Su Yi, had a calm expression and calmly said, "Surely you're afraid, but if you regretted it, you wouldn't have acted. Although your cultivation is average, you show gratitude for favors and repay debts."

Su Yi smiled lightly, "Indeed, I'm afraid, but I don't regret it. The Tianlong Sect is a formidable entity that is beyond the Sacred Mountain. "

"Hehe, you're an honest kid. Here, have a drink," Xi Wuqing chuckled and handed a large gourd of wine to Su Yi.

"To be honest, since we last parted ways, I often missed the taste of this wine from my senior," Su Yi responded without any hesitation and took a big gulp. He really missed the taste of this good wine.

After taking a sip of the alcohol, it felt like a sharp knife scraping down my throat, giving off a warm sensation. It felt like my throat was about to smoke.

Luckily, Su Yi was prepared and had already changed. He didn't look as embarrassed as the first time, with his face turning red and almost spitting it out.

The warmth from the alcohol quickly spread throughout his body, like waves of warmth spreading inside him. This was good alcohol.

"Why are you still in the Forest of Demons?" Xi Wuqing asked Su Yi, looking at him with a hidden glimmer in his eyes.

"I went to the Divine Sword School, but I couldn't get used to it, so I came back. I didn't expect to run into you, senior, again. It must be fate," Su Yi said, handing the alcohol gourd to Xi Wuqing.

Xi Wuqing accepted it and took a sip as well. He said, "The Divine Sword School is not bad. With your level of cultivation, you should be respected there."

"It's a long story. Let's talk about it later."

Su Yi said that people from the Divine Sword School probably thought he was dead, but he did miss Elder Su, Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, Situ Muyang, and others.

"What are your plans for the future?" Xi Wuqing asked, handing the wine gourd to Su Yi again.

Su Yi didn't hesitate and took a big sip. This was good wine, with benefits inside that couldn't be wasted. He said, "I plan to go to the Chaos Realm and take a look."

"The Chaos Realm? This kid has guts. It's not an ordinary place, even more chaotic than the Forest of Demons," Xi Wuqing said, somewhat surprised but not shocked.

"I want to experience it," Su Yi proudly said, taking another big gulp.

"Save some for me, there isn't much wine left."

Watching Su Yi drink so much at once, Xi Wuqing felt a bit sorry and snatched the wine gourd from Su Yi's hand, taking a sip for himself.

"Why be stingy, senior? I once tasted a great wine. In the future, I will definitely treat you to a big drink if given the chance," Su Yi said with a smile, thinking of the delicious wine from the Divine Demonic Sect, but realizing there was only a little bit left.
