Chapter 39 You call this slight improvement?
Not only did Bai Zizai's expression change, but Shi Xiaocui's expression also changed.
Shi Xiaocui looked at Shi Zhongyu and said in a deep voice, "Young Shi, where did you hear this from?"
Shi Zhongyu made up a random excuse.
"I've heard my parents say before that there's a force overseas that dominates the entire martial arts world... but I don't know the specifics."
Bai Zizai and Shi Xiaocui suddenly realized.
Ordinary disciples had no idea that such a force existed.
Shi Xiaocui slowly exhaled.
"Indeed, such a force exists!"
"This force is located outside the island, and it comes to the Central Plains martial arts world once every ten years."
"The two who arrived called themselves the Envoys of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil. Anyone who does evil, from the sect leader down to the disciples and lackeys, will be killed by them!"
"Since those two who reward good and punish evil landed on the island, no one in the entire martial arts world has been their match."
As Shi Xiaocui finished speaking, she turned to look at Bai Zizai.
Bai Zizai avoided Shi Xiaocui's gaze, muttering, "I'm not afraid of them, I'm worried about you!"
"You keep saying you should have married Ding Busi back then, how could I possibly leave the Snow Mountain Sect?"
Upon hearing Bai Zizai's words, Shi Xiaocui's eyes softened, and her tone also softened.
"I was just saying it offhand."
Bai Zizai pursed his lips.
"Who knows when Ding Busi might actually show up..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Shi Xiaocui's unfriendly gaze and had no choice but to shut his mouth.
"In short, I can't leave the Snow Mountain Sect."
Shi Zhongyu found it amusing.
Besides being arrogant and conceited, Bai Zizai's personality is also characterized by his reluctance to part with his wife.
The reason he dared not leave the Snow Mountain Sect was not only because he was afraid of losing, but also because he was worried that Ding Busi would raid his base.
Another point is that they avoid the two envoys who reward good and punish evil.
As far as he knew, in the previous thirty years, the two envoys who rewarded good and punished evil had visited the Central Plains martial arts world three times, and on one occasion they had not invited Bai Zizai to the island.
As for the last time, it was also because of Dog Brother's involvement.
"It's fine if you don't leave the Snow Mountain Sect, but I'm very worried. If this continues, many disciples will be beaten to death or maimed by you!"
The Snow Mountain Sect has strict rules, and Bai Zizai's attacks are quite heavy.
To date, he has crippled no fewer than ten of his disciples.
"Practicing martial arts? Not at all..."
"Practice your skills? You killed someone in one blow, how can you give them a chance to practice?"
"They were just trash, so what if they died? Are you going to argue with me over them?!"
"Those are disciples of our Snow Mountain Sect, the foundation of our Snow Mountain Sect..."
The two of them started arguing again after a disagreement.
Shi Zhongyu gave Bai Axiu a wink.
Bai Axiu immediately stepped forward and grabbed her grandfather, Bai Zizai.
Bai Zizai was fierce to others, but he still loved Bai Axiu and didn't push her away.
After pulling Granny Shi aside, Shi Zhongyu whispered in her ear, "My swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle of subtlety!"
Grandma Shi looked at Shi Zhongyu with delight.
"really?"
"nature."
"Haha, good, good, good!"
Bai Zizai looked at his wife, who was suddenly laughing wildly, and was somewhat puzzled.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Bai Zizai, you're being too nosy! Can't I even laugh? I should have married Ding Busi in the first place; at least I could cry and laugh whenever I wanted!"
"You you you you..."
Bai Ziyi felt furious as soon as he heard the name Ding Busi.
Shi Zhongyu had a headache, so he simply took the long sword from his waist.
"Grandmaster, my swordsmanship has improved slightly recently, but there are still many key points I don't understand. I humbly request that you teach me a few moves of the Snow Mountain Sword Technique so that I can avoid some detours."
Although he is inferior to Bai Zizai in his current level, the final outcome will only be known after they fight.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zizai glanced at him indifferently, and with the air of a sect leader, he let out a light snort.
"You think your meager swordsmanship is worthy of my personal instruction?"
He had barely finished speaking when Shi Xiaocui coldly said, "What? Is kid Shi not worthy of your swordsmanship instruction?"
Bai Zizai said angrily, "Didn't you say I often injure or cripple my disciples? Aren't you afraid I'll cripple this kid?"
"Alright, Bai Zizai, if that's what you're thinking, I'll pack my bags and head down the mountain to find Ding Busi right now!"
"I just said it offhand!"
When Bai Ziyi heard that his wife was leaving, he muttered something about giving in.
After he finished speaking, he snorted and looked at Shi Zhongyu, then casually drew the long sword from his waist.
"Fine, I'll demonstrate a few moves with you and show you the true extent of your power."
Seeing this, Shi Xiaocui warned Bai Zizai a few more times before beckoning Bai Axiu to the side.
Shi Zhongyu drew his sword voluntarily, the tip of the sword slightly lowered, displaying the demeanor of a junior humbly accepting instruction.
"Please enlighten me, Master."
The two stood facing each other in the courtyard.
In the first few moves, Shi Zhongyu was hesitant. Although his swordsmanship was skilled, he held back his strength in every move, and all his moves were probing.
Bai Zizai casually swung his sword, displaying the Snow Mountain Sword Technique with ease. His swordplay was light and unassuming, showing no regard for Shi Zhongyu, treating him merely as a junior to amuse himself.
He countered their moves while offering guidance.
"You remember all the moves, but unfortunately your swordplay is too weak and your sword power is insufficient!"
Bai Zizai's tone was full of indifference.
Seeing this, Shi Zhongyu remained silent, and his sword suddenly tightened slightly.
Instead of launching an attack, they skillfully deflected Bai Zizai's sword strikes and launched a counterattack.
The sword thrust out, seemingly clumsy yet skillful, its angle extremely tricky, subtly blocking Bai Zizai's half-move follow-up move.
Bai Zizai was slightly taken aback, and his sword strike paused slightly.
"Hmm? That move of yours is actually quite interesting."
He still didn't pay much attention, simply assuming that the jade in the stone occasionally had a spiritual light.
After several more separations and reunions, the casualness on Bai Zizai's face gradually faded.
He discovered that Shi Zhongyu's swordsmanship became more and more lively and faster as the fight progressed. He wielded the Seventy-Two Styles of Snow Mountain Swordplay with agility and unpredictability.
What alarmed him even more was that Shi Zhongyu no longer memorized the sword manual when making moves, but changed them at will, controlling the sword with his intention.
Bai Zizai's sword aura unconsciously solidified, and his expression became much more solemn.
"How could this kid's swordsmanship have improved to such a level?"
The more they fought, the more solemn Bai Zizai's expression became.
Shi Zhongyu's sword moved like a serpent emerging from its hole, pressing forward relentlessly, forcing him to concentrate and no longer dare to be careless.
Bai Axiu watched from afar, completely dumbfounded.
Her mouth was open.
"Grandma, is Senior Brother Shi's swordsmanship about the same as Grandpa's?"
Before Shi Xiaocui could even speak, Bai Zizai blurted out a curse.
"Bullshit! I'm just letting him have his way!"
As Bai Zizai spoke, he no longer took it lightly and became serious.
Despite Bai Zizai's serious expression, Shi Zhongyu's face remained calm.
Even though prompts about increased proficiency appear on the pages from time to time.
After hundreds of moves, Shi Zhongyu widened the distance between himself and Bai Zizai.
"Grandmaster's swordsmanship is exquisite, far surpassing my own. I have learned a great deal today!"
He realized that he was indeed weaker than Bai Zizai, and that he would have to reach the Transcendent Realm to surpass Bai Zizai.
At this moment, Bai Zizai stared directly at Shi Zhongyu.
"Kid, how did you learn your swordsmanship?"
"In just one year, they've reached a level second only to mine!"
