A Way In for Each

The new emperor couldn't withstand Wei Qing's sword-drawing technique, and Wei Shao'er couldn't withstand it either.

When they instigated Wei Shao'er to rebel, this was already an answer that Zhang Xuezhou and others knew perfectly well.

He and the new emperor parried from the flanks.

When the image of the mountain collapsing appeared in Zhang Xuezhou's eyes, he was also somewhat incredulous, after all, Zhang Xuezhou had rarely been suppressed in his life.

But this is the power of the top domain; even with all his abilities, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't completely avoid its influence.

The Eye of the Ba Snake, prepared in advance, guided the vision of 'moonlight', and Zhang Xuezhou also saw Wei Qing's long sword slowly extending in the illusory shadow of the mountain mist.

When Zhang Xuezhou's fist struck the longsword, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The rapid shaking of Wei Qing's longsword almost dislocated his hand bones.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Zhang Xuezhou yelled and jumped away, while the new emperor took a real sword strike from behind.

Wei Qing only stopped the sword in shock when it was almost pressed against the new emperor's forehead, turning the emperor's body into an iron bridge.

"This swordplay was too ferocious; I couldn't control it. I am guilty!"

The longsword he was holding in his right hand loosened and fell to the ground; Wei Qing immediately bent down.

"You're in much better control than last time!"

The new emperor, panting heavily, rolled over to his feet and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Wei Qing's first demonstration not only broke his move but also shattered his sword and sent him flying three zhang away. The new emperor immediately took the Qi and Blood Creation Pill.

Wei Qing's swordsmanship was even stronger the second time he used it.

The new emperor sensed that the mountain collapse phenomenon caused by the opponent was even more solid, making it more difficult to find a weakness and resist.

If he hadn't adapted beforehand, the new emperor felt he would be overwhelmed and his situation would be much different from Wei Shao'er's.

"Don't apologize. Check if your body is damaged," the new emperor said.

"I'm in great health!"

"Forget about the pills, just eat them!"

Wei Qing, as always, claimed to be in excellent health. The new emperor, too lazy to pry, simply gave Wei Qing some pills to take.

"What a pity! This pill could have helped a cultivator reach the Divine Ability Realm!"

Wei Qing took the pill and whispered something, which prompted the new emperor to urge him on repeatedly.

"Don't worry about the pills," the new emperor emphasized. "Once the medicinal herbs and demon cores from the Xiong State arrive, we'll have plenty of pills!"

"Yes!"

Wei Qing swallowed the pill in one gulp, while Zhang Xuezhou, standing beside him, quickly put away the pill given to him by the new emperor.

"You cultivate Technique Method, so you must have taken the Law Power Creation Pill, right?"

The new emperor, who had mistakenly taken the wrong pill, exclaimed in surprise, while Zhang Xuezhou, standing to the side, was already wiping his mouth.

"Did I take the wrong pill? No wonder I don't feel anything. Please give me another one!"

Compared to Wei Qing's restraint, Zhang Xuezhou was completely uninhibited, practically shouting for the pills to be quickly put into his mouth. The new emperor watched for a few seconds and couldn't help but make a couple of sarcastic remarks.

But he was well aware that Zhang Xuezhou had just made the same contact.

The best way to learn is to experience it firsthand. Only through genuine experience can one truly grasp the essence of sword-drawing techniques and internalize them.

The new emperor felt he was starting to get a sense of it.

If Wei Qing can repeatedly demonstrate the moves, and with everyone discussing them, he has a high probability of being able to replicate this sword-drawing technique.

"Young Master Wei, you taught Xiao Huo his sword-drawing technique, so tell us about it first!"

After asking for two pills, Zhang Xuezhou wiped his mouth with his hand and stuffed the pills directly into his sleeve. He urged Wei Shao'er, who could only stand up in shock.

Although Zhang Xuezhou was not a man of principle, Wei Shao'er knew very well that Shanglin Garden was a secret place that even Wei Qing and Huo Qubing would find difficult to plead for passage through. She accompanied Zhang Xuezhou and easily entered it.

Only by taking advantage of Zhang Xuezhou's situation could the new emperor avoid suspecting any ulterior motives. If someone as honest and upright as Zhang Xuezhou Wei Qing had opened such a door, the new emperor might have investigated whether someone had instigated him or was directing him from behind the scenes.

Observing the sword-drawing technique and then engaging in related discussions is an even more difficult task.

Although Wei Qing is Wei Shao'er's younger brother, Wei Shao'er has rarely seen Wei Qing in recent years, only knowing that Wei Qing is busy in the military region and finds it difficult to come home.

When Wei Qing occasionally returned to Chang'an City, he was mostly there to educate Huo Qubing or take him to the market to buy food. It was unlikely that he would practice swordsmanship in private.

Furthermore, given Wei Qing's personality, even if he mastered the world's top martial arts techniques, Wei Qing would find it difficult to show off his abilities.

If Wei Qing's abilities are unknown, then Wei Shao'er will find it difficult to follow and learn from him.

She managed to get involved by sheer coincidence.

Wei Shao'er glanced at Zhang Xuezhou, startled. She didn't have any insights into imitation, but she had talked with Zhang Xuezhou quite a bit last night, and some of the content surprised Zhang Xuezhou. She took this opportunity to explain it to him.

"Wei Qing was skilled with a sword, and even the children are formidable!"

After hearing this, Wei Shao'er saw the new emperor slightly shake his head, a hint of unexpected joy on his face, knowing that the opportunity to show his face given by Zhang Xuezhou had worked.

If she wanders around here sometime to practice her sword-drawing technique, that shouldn't be a problem.

"Zhongqing's method of drawing his sword with the force of a mountain collapse is incredibly powerful," Zhang Xuezhou nodded in admiration. "He must have experienced the force of a mountain collapse in this secret realm, which is why he can draw upon its power into his swordsmanship!"

"This must be what a landslide looks like! Oh dear, why didn't I take a closer look!"

The new emperor felt somewhat annoyed as he accompanied the discussion, realizing that he had overlooked many things in his haste to break through the secret realm of Shanglin Garden. At that time, he was busy looking for Wei Qing and had no time to pay attention to the scene around him.

"I only feel the sensation of a mountain collapsing in this secret place. It would be very difficult to draw my sword outside of this secret place, and there would be little room to demonstrate my swordsmanship," Wei Qing said regretfully.

"With more practice, it's always possible," the new emperor said reassuringly, extending his hand. "The power of your sword strike is immense; I reckon Cheng Bushi be able to withstand it!"

"General Cheng is very capable; I am no match for him," Wei Qing said, shaking his head repeatedly.

"Cheng Bushi only slightly better than me. The three of us couldn't withstand your sword strike, so Cheng Bushi several times better than us," the new emperor laughed. "Swordsmanship is either strong or weak; there's no need to worry about the tensions brought by positions!"

"We'll only know after we duel with General Cheng," Wei Qing said helplessly. "His shield defense is unparalleled; my swordsmanship might not be effective against him!"

"Then, once you've mastered the sword technique, fight him. If you succeed, you'll be the general of the Western Border Western Border, and all the soldiers there will recognize your worth!"

The new emperor seemed to be making a joke, yet he also seemed to be seriously discussing the replacement of official positions.

Wei Qing thought for a few seconds, then nodded emphatically, agreeing to the task.

Zhang Xuezhou looked somewhat surprised, thinking that Wei Qing was truly a fool. The matter of releasing the sword-drawing technique after leaving the secret place was still far from being settled, yet he had already agreed to do something about Cheng Bushi.

This kind of swordsmanship, which adapts to local conditions, is highly restrictive. Even if there is suitable terrain to draw one in, the arena for a sword duel with Cheng Bushi might not be suitable.

Zhang Xuezhou smiled inwardly at Wei Qing. After discussing for a while, he suddenly remembered that he also had a technique for adapting to local conditions.

That's a favor technique involving 'white', and its abilities can only be used in places favored by 'white'.

Zhang Xuezhou vaguely felt that he had also found a starting point.

The power of this kind of guiding Technique Method is not the key point; the key point is that this guiding technique is a ladder to a higher realm.

If they can climb up the ladder, they might one day possess a domain that distinguishes them from most True Self Realm cultivators, thus securing a place among the top cultivators.
