The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1488: Chapter 1586: The Strongest Swordsman

“You are the strongest one I have ever fought!” The executioner swung his almost equally tall executioner’s sword crazily at the Phoenix Mask Man, each swing filled with a bloody aura.

The Phoenix Mask Man, with his longsword in hand, easily neutralized every attack from the executioner and remained unscathed, whereas the executioner, his initially spotless white robe as pure as snow, was now dotted with crimson, stained with his own blood.

Thirteen wounds in total, all inflicted by the Phoenix Mask Man, though none were fatal, but for the assassin from Hidden Kill Hall, known for the most kills, being driven to such an embarrassing state was intolerable.

“Your strength is very average.” The Phoenix Mask Man said indifferently, his words scarce, having only spoken two or three sentences since his arrival—just like his sword, his strikes were clean and efficient, devoid of any unnecessary movements, each one aimed to kill.

Yet, within the sword moves the Phoenix Mask Man demonstrated, traces of the righteous Sword Tao of the Heaven Earth Sword of the scholarly path was evident.

The Heaven Earth Sword of the scholarly path focuses not on the sword moves, but rather the Sword Intent, to comprehend the way of Heaven and Earth, operate the Heaven Earth Sword, refining swordsmanship and the self.

Within the scholarly path, successors of the Heaven Earth Sword became rare, as comprehending its way was exceedingly difficult, leading to the waning lineage of the Heaven Earth Sword with only four or five individuals persevering in its practice, hoping to revive and glorify this lineage once again.
