Song of Adolescence

Chapter 175 First Wuji Staff

Su Muyu withdrew his sword.

Xie Qidao, who had just raised his sabre, also froze in movement.

They looked at the person in front of them. The reason they had bothered with Lei Wujie, Tang Lian and the others for so long was because they were waiting for this person to take action. They had heard a lot about this man, and their mission this time was also because of him. They had two objectives, one, to confirm his identity, and two, to kill him.

The person in front of them was holding a long staff, and the length of the staff was inscribed with strange characters in a seal script. The man swept past Lei Wujie, stood in front of Lei Wujie, forced Su Muyu back, and startled Xie Qidao. He did it with only two words——

Domineering aura.

Not only the domineering aura of a martial expert, but also the domineering aura of a king watching all under Heaven with contempt!

Xiao Se finally took out the long staff that had always hung on his waist. The long staff was extremely long, with a piece of jade at the tip of the staff. It glowed with a blood-red light, while the body of the staff was inscribed with seals, as if they were being used to suppress a demon hidden within the staff.

"Wuji staff." Xie Qidao walked over to Su Muyu\'s side.

Su Muyu nodded. "It is said that there are many dead souls under that staff, and it’s a staff that was full of evil, so it had to be sealed with a talisman."

"All of you have always stood in front of me. This time, it’s my turn to protect you." Xiao Se tightened his grip on the long staff, raised his head and glared at Su Muyu and Xie Qidao. However, his words were aimed at Lei Wujie and the others.

Ye Ruoyi felt as if all the blood in her body was about to boil, and she exclaimed in her heart: That\'s him, that\'s him. That was the Xiao Se she knew back then! The Xiao Se who looked down at all under Heaven with contempt, as if everything was beneath him!

"Xiao Se, but you!" Sikong Qianluo exclaimed anxiously. Just lending them his internal strength had Xiao Se in a coma for days. How could he be a match for the two Hidden River Heads of Houses?

"Don\'t worry." Xiao Se looked back at Sikong Qianluo and said with a smile.

Xiao Se seldom smiled. Occasionally, he laughed but was more than likely filled with ridicule rather than joy, but this smile was very gentle. It was as warm as the afternoon sun, as soft as the moonlight at midnight, and as clear and pure as the droplets of morning dew on green leaves.

Sikong Qianluo stared at him at that moment, as if in a daze.

But in the next moment, Xiao Se had already turned his head, and the expression in his eyes suddenly changed. No longer gentle, but incredibly fierce. His blue robes were flying, and his power was another level above that of Lei Wujie, who’d just forcefully exerted his Blazing Arts to the highest realm!

"Xiao Se, you really are a martial expert." Lei Wujie finally collapsed onto the ground. "But, you martial experts, couldn’t you have come out earlier? Did you have to wait until I can’t move anymore to be a hero!"

"I also want to be a hero sooner." Xiao Se\'s qi rose again, his blue robes flying wildly. "If I wouldn’t die in exchange."

Tang Lian was so shocked that his eyes widened in surprise. "Xiao Se, he’s entered straight into the Unfettered Heavenly Realm!"

Xiao Se suddenly raised his staff, and the long staff seemed to explode into a flower in midair.

One staff flower, two staff flowers, three staff flowers!

Flashed into ten flowers, a hundred flowers.

Thousands and tens of thousands!

"You really are Xiao…" Xie Qidao looked at the staff flower and shouted.

"Yes! I am!" Without waiting for Xie Qidao to finish, Xiao Se interrupted first. At the same time, he jumped up and smashed down right at Su Muyu and Xie Qidao.

Su Muyu\'s pupils contracted. He turned around, thrusted out his sword, pointing with the sharp tip of the sword.

Xie Qidao\'s muscles tensed up. He slashed his long sabre with a desperate wave, as the blade rolled up a strong wind.

But it wasn’t enough, far from enough.

Not enough to withstand Xiao Se\'s staff!

This staff carried the horror that exterminated heaven and earth, a grace of exquisite, irresistible dominance, and also, the Way that left no trace and no mark.

Once the staff came out, it was limitless, boundless, endless.

First Wuji staff!

Su Muyu retreated furiously, the Heart sword continuously vibrating with a cry, and he almost lost his grip again.

Xie Qidao also retreated, and the hand holding his sabre wouldn’t stop shaking. This was already the second time he tasted that smell. The last time was when he faced Li Hanyi’s sword as she entered the Profound Realm while her life was on the brink. The smell of impending death was so strong!

The staff held back and Xiao Se suddenly paused. He pointed his staff at the sky, while his eyes stared at the ground. In that moment of pause, time seemed to stop for an instant.

Everyone present had an illusion, as if within that space between heaven and sea, there was only a man in blue and his long staff.

In an instant, all was chaos, all living things were stagnant. Then, the long staff whirled into a flower again, and the tip of the flower glowed with light.

Time started moving again.

That was the second staff!

He smashed down again!

"Retreat!" Su Muyu screamed.

"Kill!" Xie Qidao moved forward instead and swung his sabre fiercely. His name was Xie Qidao, because when he killed, he never exceeded seven sabre moves. His legend was already broken by Li Hanyi, and if he wanted his legend to rise again, he had to kill an even more important person. The man in front of him was his opportunity. He didn\'t hesitate to use his strongest move.

The seventh sabre, killing god.

One staff, like breaking through the clouds, carrying the power of heaven, earth and sea!

One sabre, as if killing was absolute, with the hatred to kill a god and destroy a king!

The staff and sabre collided, and a moment later, only the staff’s shadow could be seen. There was no light from the sabre!

One hand grabbed Xie Qidao\'s collar and yanked him backwards. The cold light of a sword broke through and blocked the tip of the staff.

If it had been an ordinary sword, it would have shattered into pieces.

But this sword was ranked fourth among the famous swords under Heaven - the Heart sword.

But, he was still forced to retreat by that long staff.

He retreated three steps.

Xiao Se pressed forward three steps.

Retreat six steps!

Xiao Se pressed forward another six steps!

The number one lightness skill under Heaven - Cloud Step Wind Riding Skill, and the number one staff technique - the Wuji staff. How many people in the world could block that?

"Break!" Xie Qidao suddenly yelled, and the long sabre in his hand split into seven pieces instantly. He stepped forward again and waved his hand, and the seven blade fragments flew towards the long staff.

If he couldn’t stop him with one sabre, then he would use seven.

No, nine!

He still had two fists, using his fists as blades.

"Fall!" Xiao Se whirled his long staff in a revolution around him then he stood still.

Finally, he withdrew his staff.

The seven blade fragments pierced firmly into the ground in front of him.

Xie Qidao and Su Muyu came to a standstill after retreating another ten steps. Xie Qidao\'s sleeves were completely shredded, and blood was flowing all over his arms. He panted heavily and could no longer say anything. He fought against Li Hanyi, and broke the long sabre that had followed him for decades. Now he fought against Xiao Se and broke another one. Regardless of the final outcome of this battle, there will no longer be any more legends about Xie Qidao in the martial world.

As for the young man in front of him, who looked to be in his early twenties, he was able to force two Hidden River Heads of Houses to be on the defensive with only his staff. Even if they couldn’t determine his identity before, they no longer had any doubts. There was only one person who could be the progeny of the Hallmaster of Bai Xiao Hall, Ji Ruofeng, who could practice the Wuji staff and Cloud Step Wind Riding Skill to this level. He could only be the sixth prince, who stepped into the Unfettered Heavenly Realm at the age of seventeen, and whom everyone recognised as the only choice for Crown Prince!

"Indeed, you are Yong\'an Prince." Su Muyu held Xie Qidao in one arm, the other propping himself up with his sword in the ground. "Xiao Chuhe."

Xiao Se held his staff and stood quietly, his expression unchanged, as he looked on coldly. "So what?"
