Chapter 976 – The Compet.i.tion Between Sabers

“Comparing our sabers?”

“This will be quite interesting, I’m eager to see everyone’s saber.”

“HAHA, I can’t wait to see them all.”

The geniuses exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Qin Nan wore a wry smile, as he did not expect it to come to this.

There was no way he would show his Heaven-Shattering Saber.

It would be telling everyone that the Heaven-Shattering Saber was in his hands, not to mention that its presence would easily irritate the Sect-Protecting G.o.dly Saber and the extraordinary sabers on the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain. Furthermore, the Heaven-Shattering Saber would surely shatter every cultivator’s saber easily.

“I’m happy to go first since I’m the inner disciple of the Heaven-Saber Sect.” Cui Lixu cast a challenging gaze toward Qin Nan, “This is my saber, the Proud Lunar!”

Clank.

A long silver saber was drawn out with an outstanding saber aura, which faintly triggered the rare phenomenon of a crescent.

It was a Monarch Weapon!

“Proud Lunar, with an icy saber glow and a crescent hanging in the sky. An impressive Monarch Saber indeed. Here is my bodhi saber.” Chen Buhui from the Bodhi Temple placed his hands together. As the hands separated, a short saber covered in a bodhi glow floated in the air with bodhi chants.

“The bodhi saber, Thoughtless, capable of clearing all of your worries.”

Cui Lixu’s Monarch Saber shuddered violently as if it were aware of a rival presence, causing it to unleash a shocking saber intent, trying to outmatch the bodhi saber. In comparison, the bodhi saber remained as calm as usual, as if it had no emotion.

“The Proud Lunar and Thoughtless, very impressive sabers from Cui Lixu and Cultivator Bu Hui. My demon saber, Blood Drip, can’t wait to join the party too!” Lin Ci from the Fallen Demon Villa burst out laughing as a demon saber was drawn out.

“What an eye-opener, my Waterflow Saber is not as impressive as them.”

“HAHA, you’re being too humble, my Icy Winter is worse.”

“Hehe, stop being so fake, who is interested in challenging my untamable saber?”

The geniuses took turns to present their sabers.

At that instant, many sabers were drawn out on the boat, resulting in endless clanks and shocking saber intents.

Each of them was competing to be the king among sabers!

“Cultivator Qin Nan, everyone has shown their sabers, how about yours?” Wen Wu looked at Qin Nan sharply with a hint of pressure, enough to cause anyone’s hearts to race and faces to blush.

The crowd glanced at Qin Nan with a confused look as well.

That was right, why wasn’t Qin Nan showing his saber?

Qin Nan rose from his seat and brought his fists together with a look of apology, “Everyone, I’m sorry, I can’t simply reveal my saber, as it would result in unimaginable consequences. Pardon me.”

The expressions of Wen Wu and the geniuses darkened upon hearing this.

Everyone in the gathering had revealed their saber, but Qin Nan was not willing to do so. What was he implying?

Unimaginable consequences, did he mean his saber was too powerful that they would not be able to bear the consequences?

“How fascinating, I believe you’re looking down on everyone here just because your cultivation is slightly stronger!” Cui Lixu uttered a hollow laugh.

“Cultivator Qin Nan, show us your saber.”

“Hehe, Qin Nan, just show it to us, no matter the consequences, I’ll be held responsible!”

“Cultivator Qin Nan, it’s rare for us to have a gathering today, please don’t let us down.”

The geniuses blurted out without mercy.

Wen Wu’s eyes flickered coldly, “Qin Nan, you’re an enemy of the Heaven-Saber Sect, and even though I won’t kill you since Tang Qingshan is supporting you, if you won't show any respect, I wouldn’t let you go easily even if Tang Qingshan were here! Now, show us your saber!”

The words were uttered with a shocking aura.

A powerful saber intent swept the boat, shocking the geniuses.

Wen Wu was a core disciple of the Heaven-Saber Sect, ranked twenty-seventh on the Monarch Ranking, whose cultivation had reached the personal peak Martial Progenitor Realm.

As such, her anger was utterly terrifying.

Cui Lixu wore a grin upon seeing this. He had initially planned to use some trick, but to his surprise, Qin Nan had already infuriated Senior Sister Wen Wu.

“Sorry, I won’t do it.”

Qin Nan wore an expressionless face.

“No?” Wen Wu’s eyes widened as a terrifying force was awakened in her body.

“Qin Nan, you’re ridiculous, just say that you’re looking down on us!” Cui Lixu immediately added.

“Hehe, Cultivator Qin Nan, is that really the case?”

“Or maybe Qin Nan is scared!”

The geniuses were not too pleased.

At that instant, the atmosphere on the boat intensified.

However, before Wen Wu could unleash her anger, Chen Buhui from the Bodhi Temple stepped forward and uttered, “Amitabha.”

The breeze penetrated the hearts of the crowd, calming their anger.

“Please hear what I’ve got to say.” Chen Buhui placed his palms together, “The gathering has always been a friendly activity, thus I believe everyone has the right to make their own choice. It’s no longer a gathering, but a duel, if someone’s forced to do things.”

The anger in the eyes of the crowd was calmed slightly.

Chen Buhui’s words were true. Forcing someone to show their saber was not acceptable in a gathering like this.

Cui Lixu’s eyes turned cold, as he did not expect the bald monk to speak on Qin Nan’s behalf.

Qin Nan was astounded. He never recalled having any interaction with Chen Buhui before this.

“According to my observation, Qin Nan dared to shatter the Saber King's Boulder in front of the crowd, thus it showed how courageous he is. The same logic applies as he is a friend of Tang Qingshan. I believe he has his own reason for not showing us his saber.”

Chen Buhui turned to Wen Wu and said, “Senior Sister Wen Wu, what do you think?”

Wen Wu nodded as her expression had been calmed slightly, before she glanced at Qin Nan and said, “It was my fault forcing you to show your saber, although I still believe that it’s reasonable for everyone to show their saber in a gathering like this.”

Cui Lixu’s eyes flickered as a plan came up in his mind upon hearing this.

“Senior Sister Wen Wu, I have a suggestion, may I?”

Wen Wu glanced at him and nodded.

Cui Lixu stared at Qin Nan with a sinister look, “The fact that Cultivator Qin Nan has slashed the Saber King's Boulder in half showed how powerful his saber intent was! Why don’t each of us use our saber intent to ill.u.s.trate a poem, and let him give us his opinions on them?”

The eyes of the geniuses glistened.

This Cui Lixu was extremely cunning!
