Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Hear the Truth in the Morning, May Die in the EveningMu Can’s combat mode had undergone a stark transformation after practicing Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions, increasingly leaning towards close combat. For him, it seemed as though only the intense and direct fists-to-flesh engagement embodied the essence of battle. A series of frenzied Fist Techniques suppressed Li Xuan to the point where he couldn’t even lift his head; the two fought from the sky to the ground, and then back up into the sky. Invincible in close combat, Mu Can, relying solely on his fists, overpowered a Sword Dao master without allowing any chance of resistance. Thousands of punches were thrown in one breath, and even with Mu Can’s endurance, it was starting to feel a bit overwhelming. Taking advantage of the moment Mu Can took to catch his breath, Li Xuan mustered all his strength to dodge away. "Nine Swords Guarding Body." The huge longsword split once again into nine separate swords, circling around Li Xuan’s body. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth lightly, having been injured under Mu Can’s furious assault. Mu Can stared at Li Xuan, elevating his evaluation of him once more; the fact that Li Xuan could withstand such an attack was testament to his strength. "I still have one final move. If you can take it, I will die without regrets. If not, then you shall die," Li Xuan said after a look at Mu Can, resolutely making up his mind. "Oh? You still have a trump card?" Mu Can didn’t expect that at this point, Li Xuan would still have a hidden move. "If I die, remember to take my Jade Pendant with you. It contains my sword techniques; pass them on to a worthy successor," Li Xuan said magnanimously, indicating that the sword technique he was about to unleash was anything but ordinary. Mu Can’s expression became serious, not expecting Li Xuan to say such a thing. "I promise you," Mu Can thought for a moment, then nodded, agreeing to Li Xuan’s request. "I understood the way of the sword at the age of seven, and it has been fifteen years since I walked the path of the Sword Dao. During these years, I visited famed masters and challenged swordsmen all over the world, only to find that the path of the Sword Dao is endless. I entered the Death Space in search of the true journey of the Sword Dao, and fortunately, I obtained a legacy here. Though the other sword techniques were of no significance to me, one move inspired me greatly, so I comprehended this final move," Li Xuan said, his tone filled with pride as he spoke of his sword. Within his sword’s Plane, Li Xuan’s enlightenment of the Sword Dao had surpassed countless Sword Dao masters. It was precisely the search for a new path in the Sword Dao that drove him to venture into the Death Space, where he was fortunate to receive the legacy of the Sword Dao. With his extraordinary understanding of the Sword Dao, he realized the ultimate move. "To learn the Dao in the morning and die in the evening; that’s enough," Li Xuan said, looking at Mu Can with eyes slowly turning resolute. Mu Can sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Li Xuan instinctively. Now, Li Xuan was like a Longsword itself, its sharpness piercing straight into the heavens. "Incorporating one’s comprehension of the Sword Dao into oneself; this Li Xuan, truly insane if not mad, shall never come alive?" Purple Cloud had been keeping an eye on the situation, determined to intervene if things progressed beyond salvation, even if Mu Can disagreed. "Nine Swords United, Man and Sword as One," Li Xuan chanted silently. "Sword travels a thousand miles without return, Thousand Miles." "A broad roll of Seven Stars, whither do they return, Seven Stars." "A sword heads west, carrying the Moon Roll, Moon Roll." "The long journey of the sword, splashed with Cold Light, Cold Light." "Heavenly Martial, Sun Shadow, Hidden Sky, Life Crossing, Shocking Sentiment." With every name he uttered, a Longsword turned into a streak of light and merged into Li Xuan’s body. Each Longsword represented Li Xuan’s entire comprehension of the Sword Dao; with each Sword absorbed, the aura emanating from Li Xuan’s body became mightier. "This madman." Ye Wang, who originally thought himself to be the craziest, realized upon seeing the current Li Xuan that there were indeed people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens. With the longsword entering the body, every part of his being was filled with strands of Sword Qi; the kind of pain must be something nobody would be willing to endure. "He’s gone insane." A Cultivator from the Shadow Interface, Ying Kun, muttered while looking at the crazed Li Xuan. The pain of having Sword Qi entering the body was no less than the sensation of being cut by a dull knife—what kind of strength of mind must one possess to casually infuse nine longswords into their own body. Unlike others who merely observed, facing Li Xuan directly, one can only imagine the kind of pressure that entailed. "There’s actually such a technique." Mu Can watched Li Xuan with a grave expression. If the previous Nine Swords United made Mu Can feel the threat of injury, then the aura emanating from Li Xuan now truly gave Mu Can a palpable sense of a threat to his life. "Man and Sword as One." As he spoke, Li Xuan actually transformed into a sword. A crystal-clear longsword appeared right where Li Xuan had been standing. It was as transparent as crystal with a faint glow shimmering along the blade with two ancient, seal script characters carved onto the hilt. "Sword Dao." "Fine sword." Mu Can praised, admiring the longsword. "Investigation." "The Sword Tao Long Sword, created by Li Xuan’s comprehension of his most powerful technique, Nine Swords entering the body with all understandings of Sword Dao, turning himself into a longsword," the long-absent voice of Number 36 sounded again. "It truly is taking the body as a sword." Mu Can knew that the next move, condensing all of Li Xuan’s Sword Dao cultivation, would not be shown lightly—if it were to be launched, this one sword would assuredly be earth-shattering. "Take this." Li Xuan’s voice emanated from the Sword Tao Long Sword. The longsword in the air carved out trails of afterimages, fiercely attacking Mu Can. Mu Can had just enough time to block with his dragon arm, but a few scales were shaved off by the sword. For the first time, the defense he took pride in was damaged under the attack of this longsword.

The attacking power of the Sword Tao Long Sword was stronger than any other attacks Mu Can had faced before. "The feeling of Man and Sword as One is too wonderful." Li Xuan was completely engrossed in this state of Sword Dao, unable to extricate himself. A flurry of slashing made the situation on the field change once again; Mu Can could only dodge desperately under the onslaught of the longsword, and he dared not rely on his superior defense ability to withstand the attacks like before. "This won’t do. I need to find a way to break his Man and Sword as One." Mu Can clenched his teeth; being passively on the receiving end did not fit his style of combat, and being suppressed ignited a tumultuous fire within Mu Can’s heart. "So, your defense does have limits after all." Ye Wang was overjoyed upon seeing Mu Can being suppressed, and seeing that even Mu Can could be wounded by a sword thrust, Ye Wang felt a surge of pleasure. "I’ve got it." Mu Can’s brows furrowed as a plan took shape in his mind. Since you have become a sword, you then fall into the category of a Magic Treasure. If it was a Magic Treasure, it should have the weaknesses of a Magic Treasure. With this thought, Mu Can tried his best to stabilize his form, as flames burst forth from all over his body, enveloping himself completely. To the onlookers, Mu Can now seemed like a miniature sun, suspended in midair.
