Chapter 12
No matter who his opponent was, he had to be confident and cool as a swordsman.
That was something that could not be thrown away.
Li Xuan stood with his sword in hand.
Even in the face of the Tang Emperor, who was a master, he still showed his extraordinary bearing.
That calmness that came from the bottom of his heart really made people's eyes light up.
Even the Tang Emperor, who had seen many geniuses, could not help but think highly of his son.
"Hahaha…"
Looking at Li Xuan, the Tang Emperor laughed loudly.
"It seems that you are very confident, Seventh Brother! Good, you are indeed my child. Let me see how good your self-created sword art is!”
Clang--
As soon as he finished speaking.
The Tang Emperor immediately attacked. His figure moved and arrived in front of Li Xuan. The treasured sword in his hand brought with it a sword light as he directly stabbed toward Li Xuan in an ordinary manner. It did not look like anything extraordinary.
However, Li Xuan, who was facing this sword directly, was extremely solemn.
He raised his hand and drew his sword.
"Fifth Sword, Conceal Your Name!"
The sword light rotated, and Li Xuan directly defended.
Ding!
The two swords clashed and sparks flew.
A force that was neither strong nor weak passed through the sword and was transmitted to Li Xuan, causing the long sword in his hand to tremble and let out a sword hum.
Without waiting for Li Xuan to feel too much.
The sword in the Tang Emperor's hand flashed.
From all kinds of angles, they attacked Li Xuan's vital points, enveloping Li Xuan's figure in a sword light.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Sparks kept shooting out as the sound of swords clashing rang out.
In the Xuanzheng Hall, sword Qi was everywhere, and the sword light was dazzling.
Li Xuan calmly responded to the Tang Emperor's attack, the long sword in his hand constantly defending.
However, in a battle between experts, Li Xuan was still very clear about the principle that if he defended for a long time, he would definitely lose.
"The second sword, inexplicable!"
After repelling the Tang Emperor's sword attack, Li Xuan's sword technique changed.
Clang--
The sword path turned from defense to offense, and the angle was tricky, which was unexpected.
This move actually caused the Tang Emperor to turn his sword around and block the attack.
Ding!
After the first strike, another strike.
In this instant, the exchange of attack and defense became Li Xuan's constant attack.
He did not use his own strength to counterattack.
The Tang Emperor was dealing with Li Xuan's elusive sword moves, and his expression was slightly surprised.
"Not bad!"
The battle between father and son continued without any signs of stopping.
He knew that he could never hurt the Tang Emperor.
Li Xuan let go of his hand and gave it his all.
His inexplicable sword technique was continuously used.
"The third sword, famous for a while!"
He saw the flaw and used a sword move to subdue the enemy.
"Fourth Sword, Inexplicable Sorrow!"
The greater the pain in his heart, the greater the power. Li Xuan had not experienced true pain, so the lethality of this sword was limited.
"Sixth Sword, Nameless Sword Fire!"
……
"Seventh sword, unknown!"
……
"The eighth sword, you live up to your reputation!"
……
"The ninth sword, famous throughout the martial world!"
……
"Tenth Sword, Inexplicable Resentment!"
……
There were a total of ten moves in the inexplicable sword technique.
Soon, they were all used in the battle between Li Xuan and the Tang Emperor.
After he finished practicing his sword technique.
Li Xuan retreated and put his sword behind his back.
He cupped his hands and bowed to the Tang Emperor."
"Imperial Father, your son's mysterious sword technique has been completely practiced. Imperial Father, please give me some pointers!”
Clang--
The sword light swirled, and the treasured sword in the Tang Emperor's hand returned to its sheath.
Then, he returned to the dragon throne and sat down.
He looked at Li Xuan with satisfaction and said with a smile,
"Inexplicable sword technique…this sword technique is really not bad! Old Seven, it seems that you are a genius in the way of the sword. You have made my eyes light up!”
He looked at Tang Emperor.
Li Xuan handed the sword in his hand to Cao Zhong and said humbly,
"Imperial Father, you flatter me. Your son's sword art is not that powerful and cannot be compared to a true expert.”
Nameless's sword technique was powerful in terms of concept.
However, it was not a move.
In the exchange just now, the sword intent that Li Xuan used was not strong, so he did not fully display the power of the inexplicable sword technique.
In the eyes of a Great Grandmaster like the Tang Emperor, he was probably just an ordinary person!
Hearing Li Xuan's words, the Tang Emperor looked at him meaningfully.
Then, he retracted his gaze and changed the topic.
"Old Seventh, if you don't like going to the directorate, then you don't have to go. Zhen can also not punish you! I have a task for you. The Sword Pavilion controlled by the Tang royal family will open once every ten years in half a month!”
" There are already many young people from the Tang Wulin in Chang 'an. They are all here for the Sword Garret. There are only 15 spots in the Sword Garret, so there will be a Sword Garret Competition before that!”
His gaze fell on Li Xuan.
The Tang Emperor smiled."
"This time, I originally wanted to hand over the Sword Pavilion Competition to your brother, Li Gang. However, I think more highly of you now, so I'll let you do it. Among the 15 slots in the Sword Pavilion, three belong to my royal family.”
Not a good job!
After hearing the Tang Emperor's words and knowing the situation of the Sword Pavilion Competition, Li Xuan immediately made a judgment in his heart.
Presiding over the Sword Pavilion Tournament?
What a tough job!
Moreover, it seemed that the Tang Emperor had given him the right to arrange three slots into the cabinet, but this was in exchange for offending the First Prince, King Qi Li Gang. In fact, those two slots would even bring trouble to him in the future.
"Father…"
After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan decided to refuse.
However, before he could finish, the Tang Emperor interrupted him,"
"Rejection is not allowed! How could you waste a good talent in the way of the sword? You must attend the Sword Pavilion Competition this time! Zhen will issue an imperial edict and let your big brother and third brother assist you. You can rest assured and do your things!”
How could he be at ease!
Hearing this, Li Xuan finally understood.
The Tang Emperor wanted him to be like the other princes, to fight for the position of Crown Prince!
But what was his motive for doing so?
The Tang Emperor still had a long life to live. It was meaningless to fight for the crown prince's position now.
However, he just had to make the princes start fighting.
"Your son understands."
Knowing that he could not refuse, Li Xuan did not resist and directly agreed.
After Li Xuan accepted the mission, the Tang Emperor let him leave.
After he left.
The Tang Emperor's eyes turned serious."
"Big partner, have you seen the accomplishments of the inexplicable sword art?”
Tang Emperor asked.
Cao Zhong, who had watched the entire battle, did not dare to say anything. He said,
"Replying to Your Majesty, this old servant can only see through five points. The remaining five points, I can't see through!”
He smiled.
The Tang Emperor said nonchalantly,"
"It's very normal for your partner to be unable to see through you. You're only at the ninth stage of the Grandmaster realm! Ninety percent of Seventh Brother's mysterious sword technique was above the sword intent. What he had used just now was just a move that had the shape of a sword!”
His pupils constricted.
Cao Zhong's face was filled with disbelief."
"Ninety percent of it is in the sword intent…but Seventh Highness didn't use his sword intent just now! Could it be that he's hiding his strength?"
He nodded casually.
The Tang Emperor admitted with a smile,"
"You're hiding your strength! This stinky brat's aptitude in Sword Dao was incredible! Perhaps after a hundred years, our imperial family will have another guardian at the integration of Heaven and man realm! It was impossible for this kid to continue being a salted fish!”
After saying that.
The Tang Emperor waved his hand and ordered,"
"Great companion, draft the decree and do as Zhen said just now! Old Seven was a slippery person. If he did not chase him away, his talent would be wasted! How could one achieve great success in martial arts without competing? If he doesn't want to fight, as his father, I will force him to fight!”
Cao Zhong didn't dare to say anything."
"Here!"
He nodded and began to prepare the imperial edict.
The Tang Emperor was also thinking about the mysterious sword technique in his mind.
Unfortunately, he only learned the moves and not the sword intent.
Otherwise, this mysterious sword technique might have become a great technique in the hands of the Tang Emperor!
……
On the way back to his palace.
Li Xuan's eyes were filled with emotion and helplessness.
He was amazed by the strength of a martial grandmaster.
It was too powerful.
Even if Li Xuan did not use his sword intent, the inexplicable sword technique was still going all out.
However, even so, in the face of Li Xuan's inexplicable sword technique, Tang Emperor only casually blocked it.
In fact, he had not even used his zhenqi or any martial arts.
Just with the eyesight of a Great Grandmaster, he had received all of Li Xuan's attacks.
The difference between the two sides…
How could it be like a natural moat?
"Hosting the Sword Pavilion Competition!"
While sighing with emotion, Li Xuan's face was filled with helplessness.
"It seems that Imperial Father wants me to compete with the other princes! This father was really too much of a scammer!”
He did not know what the Tang Emperor's ultimate goal was.
However, the current Li Xuan...
He wasn't worried about what would happen if he stood out!
In any case, the other princes would definitely be wary of Li Xuan and even start to step on him.
The good relationship they had in the past was broken in a short period of time.
This was very normal in the imperial family!
