Chapter 5258
After steadying his body, Preston's face color changed from a sick green to pale white as
he stared at Darryl. His eyes were full of disbelief. 'That...that is impossible. He is still so
young. How can he have such high attainments in his swordsmanship?' 6
Preston had expended half of his internal energy on that attack, but Darryl easily defeated
it. The most offensive aspect was Darryl's weapon, a wooden stick. He would be the
laughingstock of the cultivators if they knew a Saber Saint like him was defeated by a man
wielding a wooden stick.
Just when Preston was in a rage, Lindsey clapped her hands and cheered for Darryl.
"Wow... Brother Darryl, your swordsmanship is brilliant! Can you teach me?"
A child would only speak their mind. Lindsey was only 12 or 13 years old. She did not
know that many people in the world of cultivators treated their ultimate techniques as a
secret, especially those ultimate techniques that could help save lives during critical
moments. They would never disclose them to other people.

However, Darryl was open-minded, so he did not mind when Lindsey said that. He smiled
and nodded. 'Alright. If you want to learn that, I will teach it to you."
Preston realized what was going on after hearing Darryl and Lindsey's conversation. His
rage was visible in his eyes. "You jerk! I was wrong about you. So you have been hiding
your talent the whole time. Then show me what you are capable of."
After that, he gripped his Great Sword with both hands and activated his internal energy.
Something rumbled. The terrifying breath from the sword filled heaven and earth. Winds
blew, and thunder struck from the sky.
Preston leaped and flew into the sky the next second. The Great Sword slashed through
the air and struck Darryl in his face. The air condensed wherever Preston passed. His
terrifying killing vibes permeated the entire area. The Sword Blast was one of Preston's
Nine Heaven Swordsmanship's most powerful skills.
'Is that the man's real ability? So terrifying!' Lindsey's jaw dropped when she saw it. Her
heart was filled with unending fear and anxiety. She was born in the Heavenly Secret
Palace and had witnessed a variety of swordsmanships since she was a child. She always
thought the Heavenly Secret Palace's swordsmanship was the most powerful of all.
When she saw Darryl defeating Preston's sword aura, she was astounded and thought
Darryl's swordsmanship ability was on par with Heavenly Secret Palace. After seeing
Preston attack with his actual ultimate technique, she realized Preston's ability was far
scarier than she had imagined.
'How interesting.' Darryl hid his smile, and his eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness as
he watched Preston land from the sky. 'The Sword Blast is really quite something,' he
thought.
'He deserves to call himself a Saber Saint for his strong ability.’ While Darryl was
astounded by Preston's abilities, he remained calm and unaffected.
Preston was flying faster and faster. When he was only a few hundred meters away from
Darryl, the air above him burst into flames. The friction between the air and Preston's
sword's breath caused the flame to appear.

terrifying sword aura.
Preston curled his lips into a smile. No one in the cultivator world could withstand the
sword aura from the Sword Blast. Furthermore, no matter how strong a person was, once
the terrifying sword aura locked onto them, they could not escape and could only wait for
their death.
Twenty years ago, there was a powerful person named Elder Stone Sword. He claimed that
no one could challenge his attainment in swordsmanship. However, the Sword Blast took
his life too. When Preston used the Sword Blast, Elder Stone Sword could not avoid it, as if
his body was fixed in place.
"What a powerful sword aura." Darryl took a deep breath and praised as Preston got closer
and closer. "It is no surprise he is known as the Saber Saint. With such a powerful sword
aura, I doubt that even Master could block that attack.”
After finishing that sentence, his tone changed. He smiled and said, "Too bad you have me
as your opponent today."
