Baby with Daoist Monarch System

”When exactly did I provoke her again?”

The first senior brother, who was deep in thought, didn’t notice the change in expressions of the two people next to him. He was focused entirely on Xu Ran and the bald man in the trial, eager to see what kind of sparks would fly between them!

”It’s starting!”

The first senior brother, who was closely watching the changes happening in the trial, quickly exclaimed.

Immediately.

The second senior brother and the junior sister, who had been paying attention elsewhere, were instantly drawn in by the first senior brother’s voice, and their eyes focused completely on the trial.

...

Clang—

In an instant.

The atmosphere around the two who had been confronting each other suddenly changed dramatically. Xu Ran rotated the iron sword in his hand, producing a clear, bright sound.

Simultaneously, a golden wave of energy surged out from his body, gathering in front of him like a golden sharp sword, standing upright to fend off all enemies.

The moment this golden wave of energy took shape in front of Xu Ran.

A cold flash suddenly shot out before him, like a ray of bright sunlight in the darkness, converging at one point and thrusting fiercely towards Xu Ran’s chest.

In an instant.

The hair on Xu Ran’s body stood on end, as if an icy sword was looming behind him, and cold sweat trickled down his body.

This was Xu Ran sensing extreme danger, and his body instinctively responded.

The moment this chill arose, Xu Ran’s pupils contracted, seeing a point of cold light rapidly approaching him.

This point of cold light seemed as though it could pierce directly through his body.

”Hmph!”

Under this cold flash, Xu Ran endured the intense chill and let out a cold snort.

After all, Xu Ran had experienced much in the world. Even in face of extreme danger, he wasn’t the type to surrender without a fight, as it wasn’t in his nature.

Although Xu Ran wanted to resist, the oppressive feeling brought by this point of cold light was simply too strong.

In less than a breath’s time, the cold light had nearly reached his chest. If it had come just a little closer, this cold light would have thoroughly pierced into his body.

At that point, not even an immortal could save him!

”Defend!”

At this moment, under such immense pressure and with such bitter cold, Xu Ran’s lips moved with difficulty, and a muffled sound emerged.

Clang—

In an instant.

The golden sharp sword that had just formed in front of Xu Ran stood tall in front of him in the blink of an eye.

This suddenly appearing sword managed to block the cold light that came in for a surprise attack, just in the nick of time.

The cold light stalled right before Xu Ran, unable to inch forward!

Rumble—

The instant the golden sword and cold light collided, an extremely intense explosion sounded, accompanied by incredibly bright flashes, lighting up the entire dueling arena.

At the same time.

The cold light that had attacked Xu Ran was completely revealed to those present.

It was the bronze-skinned bald man, whose body was carved with endless runes. He was wielding a human bone embroidery sword in one hand, which began seeping dark red iron liquid.

The seeping dark red liquid slowly flowed onto the blade.

For a moment, the eyeballs embedded in the sword guard absorbed the dark red liquid as if they came to life, continuously drawing in the scent of rust in the air.

”Hmm?”

Xu Ran, holding the silver light iron sword, sensed something unusual and a hint of doubt rose in his heart.

Moments later, Xu Ran’s eyes widened abruptly, hastily swinging the silver light iron sword in his hand to fling off the dark red iron sword liquid that had just adhered to it.

Simultaneously, Xu Ran’s figure rapidly retreated from the battlefield.

Upon landing, Xu Ran looked down at the silver light iron sword in his hand.

The area on the sword’s blade that had been contaminated by the dark red iron liquid was corroded into a honeycomb-like pattern in just an instant.

”What was that thing just now?”

Xu Ran raised his head, looked at the bald man standing still, and then shifted his gaze to the human bone rusted sword in the man’s hand, noticing that the sockets on the blade appeared to be endlessly inhaling the rust scent in the air, like a starving ghost, never knowing satisfaction.

In the entire trial, only the silver light iron sword right in the center was the most intact. There was no obstruction when Xu Ran retrieved it.

Moreover, the silver light iron sword seemed to emit an inexplicable aura drawing Xu Ran towards it.

Before Xu Ran could calm down.

Rumble—

Suddenly.

A sound of the ground collapsing came abruptly from the front.

Looking around, one could see the rusted shell floor five feet thick under the bald man’s feet was sandifying at a visible speed, and the rust sword scent in the air was condensing into small fragments of broken sword pieces floating in the air, forming a tightening metal storm.

This tightening metal storm was now swirling around the bald man, gradually forming a raging metal storm, gradually advancing towards Xu Ran.

Wherever it went, it lifted the intact ground’s five-foot-thick shell.

The shell that was lifted was then absorbed into the metal storm, further expanding its scale.

In mere moments, the metal storm grew from a human-sized initial form to tens of meters, the sound of roaring wind echoing throughout the dueling arena.

Xu Ran stood firm, watching the metal storm slowly but surely engulfing him, his expression calm.

”Phew!”

Steady, he exhaled deeply.

Then, his youthful right hand gripped the silver light iron sword, standing on the ground, with a clang, a crisp sound resonated the same way within the dueling arena.

The sword cry produced by this single silver light iron sword could rival the howling wind of the ever-expanding metal storm!

Then.

Xu Ran’s youthful right hand exerted force, spinning clockwise from his feet, lifting it over his head.

As Xu Ran held the silver light iron sword over his head, an invisible golden aura began to emerge from behind him.

Gradually.

This invisible golden aura began to transform from gold to white.

This white aura, extremely pure, akin to the purity of the newly opened heavens and earth, immaculate, nothing could stain it in the slightest.

”That’s the Immortal Sword Skill!”

At this moment.

The second senior brother, observing Xu Ran’s trial, suddenly stood up and said.

He had truly witnessed the Immortal Sword Skill during ancient times, and the scene from then was deeply etched in his mind, impossible to forget.

The instant this familiar aura arose, he knew exactly what kind of technique it was.

”Wasn’t his Innate Qi sealed? How can he use the Immortal Sword Skill?”

The junior sister spoke up at this moment.

The Immortal Sword Skill required Innate Qi to unleash its maximum power and also needed Innate Qi to be executed.

However.

When entering the Nine-Layered Giant Tower for the trial, Innate Qi would be sealed.

So how exactly was Xu Ran able to use the Immortal Sword Skill?

”It’s that silver light iron sword!”

At this point, the first senior brother explained.

Soon, the silver light iron sword which Xu Ran was gripping attracted the attention of the two.

”This silver light iron sword is the sword used during the Sword Immortal’s initial swordsmanship practice, and it’s said that the Sword Immortal’s most fundamental understanding of swordsmanship exists on this silver light iron sword!”

”It’s not surprising that this silver light iron sword can resonate with the Immortal Sword Skill!”

The first senior brother pondered continuously, his eyes fixed on the silver light iron sword in Xu Ran’s hand.

In the records of the Nine-story Giant Tower Study, the silver light iron sword initially used by the Sword Immortal preserved the initial intention of the Sword Immortal’s swordsmanship practice, a time when his mind was purest.

Therefore, even though at that time innate Qi had not yet emerged, over the long years, this ordinary silver light iron sword also gave birth to innate Qi.

It’s no surprise Xu Ran can utilize the Immortal Sword Skill from within it!
