Chapter 1771: Chapter 1868: Another Famous Sword?

Cao Xuesheng flew into the Ask Sword Platform, the Cold Cicada Sword behind him buzzed with a hum, already unsheathed in his hand, the cold aura instantly spread throughout the entire platform.

To everyone, Cao Xuesheng was certainly no stranger. For this young swordsman who had secured the first position on the Talent Sword Head List and still aimed to hold a place on the Sword Head List, many had some complaints in their hearts.

But no one would doubt Cao Xuesheng’s strength; with the Ancient Sword Cold Cicada in hand, no swordsman dared underestimate him.

Fachenzi stared coldly at Cao Xuesheng, his expression somewhat indifferent: "You’re not my opponent."

Cao Xuesheng chuckled: "We haven’t crossed swords yet, how do you know I’m not your opponent?"

Fachenzi snorted coldly, the jade sword in his hand lightly maneuvered, heading straight for Cao Xuesheng with slow speed but constantly gathering Sword Intent.

Cao Xuesheng wasn’t the slightest bit complacent. Fachenzi had the genuine ability to defeat Zhang Wenze before.

The Cold Cicada Sword moved, carrying a chilling aura to meet Fachenzi head-on. As soon as they engaged, the fight was exceptionally fierce.

Everyone could see that Fachenzi had pent-up anger in his heart, releasing it ruthlessly upon Cao Xuesheng as if venting his frustrations.

The two exchanged over thirty moves; on the surface, neither Cao Xuesheng nor Fachenzi held any advantage.

However, Fachenzi’s face appeared quite grim. Though in Sword Tao achievement he was not weaker than Cao Xuesheng, the Cold Cicada Sword in Cao’s hand was too formidable, continually harassing him with cold aura, forcing him to spare attention to counter it.

This increased the pressure on Fachenzi, and the cold aura accumulated within him over time. Once it reached a certain level, it would erupt, and Fachenzi would surely be injured.

"I can’t drag this out; I must win within ten moves!" Fachenzi thought silently, gritting his teeth, risking all to unleash a life-and-death strike.

This strike abandoned defense, channeling all his power into the offense, determined to gain advantage.

Once Fachenzi secured the upper hand, he was confident he could quickly deal with Cao Xuesheng, as his true target was not Cao but Jian Angxing.

Seeing Fachenzi’s fierce strike, Cao Xuesheng immediately countered, using the Cold Cicada Sword for a seemingly meaningless slash that suddenly decided the outcome.

A bracing chill surged from within Fachenzi’s body, momentarily freezing him in place, rendering his body immobile in an instant.

"How is this possible? The cold aura shouldn’t erupt now!" Fachenzi was shocked, wanting to immediately dispel the erupting cold within him but was too late.

The Cold Cicada Sword was poised at Fachenzi’s neck, Cao Xuesheng smiled slightly: "You lost."

Fachenzi, pale-faced, looked at Cao Xuesheng incredulously, unable to believe he was defeated so quickly and mysteriously.

"What did you do?" Fachenzi asked, unwilling to accept his defeat.

Cao Xuesheng laughed: "The cold entered your body, I simply induced it to erupt early."

Fachenzi stared blankly at Cao Xuesheng, defeated so simply, unable to reconcile with this reality.

But he had already lost; the array light fell, enveloping Fachenzi, and transported him directly away.

Thus, Cao Xuesheng naturally became the new arena master, qualified to remain on the Ask Sword Platform, accepting challenges from other swordsmen.

"Ah, having a famous sword is nice," Nangong Shoujian said somewhat helplessly.

Jian Angxing glanced at the old man, his expression suggesting, don’t you also have a famous sword?

"With the Cold Cicada Sword, Cao Xuesheng should be able to defeat many," Fang Lin commented from atop a distant mountain peak.

"Though the Cold Cicada Sword is strong, among the other swordsmen, some may hold famous swords as well," Dugu Nian added.

Cao Xuesheng faced eleven swordsmen in succession, winning them all without exception, the Cold Cicada Sword’s advantages brilliantly utilized by Cao. Many defeated under his hand felt unwilling, believing if they owned a sword as good as the Cold Cicada, the outcome might differ.

Cao Xuesheng’s twelfth adversary caught widespread attention.

A black-robed elder, having displayed notable prowess against the Pavilion Master’s three Sword Qi, emerged on the platform, garnering much interest as he challenged Cao Xuesheng.

"Your sword is magnificent," the black-robed elder rasped.

Cao Xuesheng smiled lightly: "You’re too kind."

The black-robed elder spoke no more, a black longsword appeared in his hand, flickering with mysterious and eerie gleams.

Seeing the sword, Cao Xuesheng frowned slightly, rising a sense of alert, understanding it was extraordinary.

In the next moment, the black-robed elder vanished completely.

Activating the Heavenly Eye, Cao Xuesheng scrutinized his surroundings yet couldn’t locate the elder, astonished.

A sudden chilling sword stroke, Cao Xuesheng reacted swiftly, blocking the elder’s surprise attack.

Failing the strike, the elder vanished again, Cao Xuesheng remained tense, unable to see the elder with the Heavenly Eye, yet faintly sensed his presence, not entirely helpless.

Determined not to remain passive, Cao Xuesheng unleashed the Cold Cicada Sword’s Sword Qi, filling the platform with icy cold, intending to force the elder out.

However, a sinister black light surged forth, preventing the cold from spreading across the platform, enveloping Cao Xuesheng in an ever-worsening situation.

Realizing the dire predicament, Cao Xuesheng repeatedly swung the Cold Cicada Sword, attempting to banish the unsettling black light.

But the black light seemed endless, even partially dispersed by the sword, continued to flow back, isolating Cao Xuesheng in darkness, unable to see the outside world.

The Ask Sword Platform’s situation drew keen attention from all sides, yet only Fang Lin gazed at the sky, slightly furrowing his brow.

Somehow, the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master, who had always stood on his sword, suddenly disappeared?
