There were also some small sword marks on the side. Compared to the etched sentence before, these marks were very shallow, and they were all around the stone. It could be seen that they were all very recent. Gu Xi guessed that these should have been left behind by the disciples of the Heavy Sword Peak.
Gu Xi could not help but reach out his hand to caress them. The ancient sword marks were like witnesses of history, unchanging in the long river of time. These marks were filled with indescribable sword intent.
He closed his eyes slowly, and suddenly, he felt as if he had been transported to a world that belonged to the sword. Countless swords stood among them, and the sword shadows interweaved into a huge net that covered the sky and covered the earth. It was densely packed, completely enveloping him.
Ten thousand swords were launched at the same time, and it was powerful enough to turn him into minced meat. If there was any intention of retreating or being timid, he would be immediately expelled. Ordinary people had never seen such a grand and mighty formation.
Sword Qi swept across 30,000 miles, and a sword light chilled the 19 provinces.
This stone was known as the Sword Stone. It was said that a sword Immortal once came out of the Heavy Sword Peak, and he achieved the Great Dao with his sword. The words on this stone were left behind by him, and there were even rumors that this Sword Stone also had the inheritance of this sword Immortal.
As a result, the disciples of the Heavy Sword Peak observed it countless times. Some of them even left behind traces, trying to figure it out and decipher the secrets of the Sword Stone. However, they had no way of doing so. As time passed, the stone became what it was now.
Everyone felt that rumors were ultimately just rumors. However, the Sword Stone was also the unique symbol and trademark of the Heavy Sword Peak.
Gu Xi was in a state of epiphany. There were also some people who felt something when they saw the sword mark, but they were few and far between. These people were all talented and intelligent. They were extremely talented in the Dao of the sword.
Gu Xi did not notice that someone was watching him from a distance, and this person exuded extremely high pressure. However, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the aura around Gu Xi had also changed. He used to hide his sharpness, but now he was like a sharp sword that was about to be sheathed. Faint sword shadows surrounded him, layer after layer.
Among the countless sword lights, he could see a ball of light hanging in the air. It was like the stars surrounding the moon. It was as if he was a natural king that could make all the swords submit.
However, the sword Qi was too sharp, making it difficult for Gu Xi to see the ball of light clearly. He strained to have a better look, and the Sword Stone emitted a weak pulse of light.
"Who dares to trespass the Heavy Sword Peak?!" Suddenly, a deep male voice came from the sky, but he could only hear the voice and not see the person.
The Sword Stone also quickly returned to its original appearance. There was no change, as if the entire episode just now was just an illusion.
Gu Xi suddenly opened his eyes. His expression was somewhat regretful, and he felt somewhat lost. He felt that he was close to something profound, but he could not see it clearly, and he felt somewhat unwilling.
However, now that Gu Xi had been interrupted, he naturally could not enter meditation again. He could only wait for the next opportunity to come and investigate. He cupped her hands together and said, "I, Gu Xi, am here to pay a visit."
"You are the Sect Leader's recently accepted First Personal Disciple, Gu Xi?"
Just as he was about to speak, a cold light flashed in the air. Gu Xi's keen senses told him that something was wrong and he immediately retreated. He saw a sword falling from the sky and landing directly on the rock wall. In an instant, the rock shattered and fell. A bone-deep crack appeared on the thick rock wall.
If he had reacted a few seconds slower, it would have landed on his body.
This sword was cold all over. It was more than two feet long and did not have any unnecessary decorations. There was only a sword-shaped spike hanging on the hilt. It was the symbol of the Heavy Sword Peak.
It was as if it was forged from a thousand-year-old cold jade. It could split mountains and split seas easily. Even Gu Xi could not help but secretly praise it.
A figure slowly walked over. He looked to be in his twenties. He was expressionless and looked like a person who would not be friendly to strangers. He had an ice-cold face as he sized up Gu Xi. Then, he said concisely, "Draw your sword!"
Gu Xi was stunned. "What? Is this how Heavy Sword Peak treats their guests?"
He had heard many things about the Heavy Sword Peak. For example, there were people who did not eat or drink in order to cultivate, and there were even people who became partners with their swords.
He had thought that everyone was exaggerating, but now that he looked at it, there was a reason why they were called Sword Maniacs. If a person came up and drew his sword, no one would be able to withstand it.
Ice Face recalled the longsword on the rock wall. It seemed that the flying sword just now was his handiwork. Fortunately, Gu Xi was strong. If it was anyone else, they might not be able to avoid it.
"You are the Sect Leader's disciple. Naturally, you are strong. Why don't you dare to fight me?"
What he meant was that he only had the interest to challenge the Sect Leader's disciple, and no one else.
Hearing the hidden meaning behind Ice Face's words, Gu Xi did not know whether to laugh or cry. Those who did not know would have thought that Ice Face was here to seek revenge, but it turned out that he was only here to challenge him. It seemed that the people on the Heavy Sword Peak were really eccentric.
Gu Xi probed, "What if I say no?"
Ice Face said without hesitation, "Then, please go back. Master does not have the time to see you."
It was obvious that Ice Face was the disciple of the Peak Master of the Heavy Sword Peak, and the aura emanating from his body showed that he was quite powerful.
Gu Xi had no choice, "Then please make your move."
Suddenly, Gu Xi frowned as if he had sensed something. He suddenly turned around, but there was nothing behind him.
Gu Xi felt as if someone was looking at him. Was it an illusion?
Ice Face was furious. "How could you be so distracted when facing an enemy? Are you not paying attention to me?"
Gu Xi quickly explained, "That's not what I meant!"
However, Ice Face was already rushing toward him with a long sword in his hand.
