Baby with Daoist Monarch System

”Little one, do you know what fighting to the death truly means?”

As he spoke, the bald man’s gaze hardened, his tone serious, as if instructing Xu Ran.

”Fighting to the death means using every means possible, devoid of any morality!”

”This is not child’s play combat, but a true fight for your life!”

The bald man’s words were filled with disdain!

Fighting to the death implies that one’s life has been pushed to the brink by others.

In such a situation, no matter what method is used, as long as you can turn the tables, achieve victory successfully, and manage to slay your opponent, then it’s considered a good move, regardless of so-called light or darkness!

Saying this, the bald man looked at Xu Ran as if seeing a child, even though he was indeed under two years old.

His rigid and stationary mindset is normal, after all, he has yet to experience the darkness of human nature, wanting to adhere to the justice in his heart is also normal.

The bald man’s current task is to change Xu Ran’s thinking, altering his temperament to become stronger.

But what the bald man doesn’t know is that in terms of experience, Xu Ran is far richer than him!

Listening to the bald man’s words, Xu Ran’s lips curled, as if receiving some sort of instruction.

”Since you, the gatekeeper, have said so, wouldn’t it be ungrateful for me not to make some changes in light of your guidance?”

”Hm?”

The bald man, still in confrontation with Xu Ran, heard his words and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, unsure what Xu Ran was talking about.

After all.

Given his not even two years of age, regardless of how high his innate talent is, it’s natural-born; but mastering human nature requires long years to achieve.

Who is Xu Ran?

Seems to be just a child born into a hunter’s family, uneducated, illiterate, lacking logical thinking.

Such a family, apart from Xu Ran’s own outstanding talent, would struggle to stand out among the many geniuses in the history of the Origin Realm.

In terms of talent, even in his previous life, he couldn’t match Xu Ran, but in terms of cognition, Xu Ran couldn’t catch up even trying!

Of course.

This was merely the bald man’s assumption.

Who would know.

The seemingly less than two-year-old child, Xu Ran, had already lived through three lives.

Just this single fact alone is unmatched by others!

Three lives, indeed!

In terms of strategy, they truly couldn’t compare with Xu Ran.

The bald man’s thoughts soared, unexpectedly ignoring the current situation of locking eyes with Xu Ran.

With keen observational skills, Xu Ran noticed the bald man’s peculiar state immediately and suddenly shouted.

”Facing me, you dare to get distracted!”

”Look at my swordsmanship—Thrust!”

Xu Ran’s figure, like thunder and lightning, echoed in the bald man’s ears, instantly drawing his attention back, just in time to hear Xu Ran’s words.

The bald man, stunned for a moment, quickly came to his senses.

”What I just thought was right after all!”

The bald man hadn’t expected.

That Xu Ran would loudly announce the name of his technique before fighting to the death?

This was somewhat abstract!

What does this mean?

Isn’t this plainly telling the enemy that you’re going to stab them with your sword?

In swordsmanship, thrusting is a very important technique.

It can be said that in almost all swordsmanship, thrusting is the most crucial part.

No matter how much its form changes or how glamorous its name, a thrust is just a thrust!

Especially for Xu Ran, a novice newly learning swordsmanship with no other aura enhancement.

This thrust only had Xu Ran’s golden Spiritual Qi, with nothing else attached to it.

”The talent is there, but lacks battle experience!”

The bald man commented, casually, as he watched the straight coming Silver Light Iron Sword.

It seemed that, to him, he was merely facing the scene of a true two-year-old baby coming at him with a wooden sword.

This kind of scene posed no threat to him!

As a result!

Just as Xu Ran’s Silver Light Iron Sword, imbued with copious Spiritual Qi, was about to pierce the bald man’s chest.

Suddenly.

Xu Ran’s youthful wrist twisted abruptly, and the sword, which was originally thrusting towards the bald man’s heart, turned from a thrust to a sweep in an instant, slicing towards the center of the bald man’s body like a large cross-section.

Feeling the sudden change in technique in front of him, the bald man’s eyes contracted sharply, clearly startled by Xu Ran’s sudden switch of technique.

Moreover, what astonished him the most was that a child under two years old could utter words quite contrary to his actions in combat!

What kind of cunning is this!

In an instant.

During the fleeting moment of the bald man’s daze, Xu Ran, wielding the Silver Light Iron Sword, made a slash, causing a piece of cloth to drift inside the Dueling Arena.

Not only that, but a ribbon of bright red blood was also suspended in the air.

Injured!

The bald man was injured!

The head that should be invincible at this level actually got grazed by Xu Ran during the Swordsmanship Trial!

Yes, he was grazed!

This graze wasn’t because Xu Ran’s swordsmanship was superior or the bald man’s defense was weak.

But rather.

The bald man was deceived by Xu Ran.

What happened to the thrust? Why did it turn into a sweep at the critical moment?

The bald man stepped back a few paces, clutching his stomach where Xu Ran had cut him, instantly filled with fury.

”You little novice who just learned Sword Intent, how dare you do such a thing?”

”Do you know that the Sword Master’s character directly influences the will during creation of Divine Techniques and affects the sword itself.”

”You’re not even two yet, and you’ve already learned to lie?”

”Do you know that swordsmanship stresses unstoppable advance, emphasizes fearlessness!”

”Do you know why the sword is called the weapon of a gentleman? Because those who wield swords mostly possess righteous majesty, not resorting to such underhanded tricks like you!”

At this moment, the bald man ranted like a street ruffian, disregarding his image.

In the midst of almost losing his temper, the wound on his chest also healed.

Xu Ran, hearing these words, casually scratched his ear.

”What you said sounds like my mother, nagging!”

Hearing this, the bald man was about to continue but was stopped by Xu Ran.

”You weren’t just saying that in life and death situations, one must use every means and just survive!”

Saying this, he pointed to where the bald man had just been wounded and bleeding.

”See, wasn’t I just listening to you?”

Hearing this, the bald man, who was just about to continue talking, suddenly stopped, looking frustrated.

Reflecting on why he had said those things just now.

As a result.

Xu Ran, with his incredible wisdom, seemed to have picked it up in such a short time and even used it effectively.

Even with such a vast gap between them, Xu Ran was able to injure the bald man with one sword.

Just based on this, Xu Ran has already mastered what he needs.

”You little imp, what do you know!”

The bald man yelled out in anger.

”All Sword Immortal Sword Intents have been merged, from now on, no matter what kind of plots and schemes you employ, you will only fall at the feet of absolute power!”

With that, he lifted the Blood-Red Iron Sword high above his head, spinning it, causing the human skull atop the Blood-Red Iron Sword to emit a dull sound of being shattered.

”Crack!”

Not long after.

The human skull on the Blood-Red Iron Sword began to crack, the noise was exactly that of a human bone breaking.

”Boom—”

As the cracks emerged, a clear sound came from the Blood-Red Iron Sword.

The previously intact, incredibly smooth human skull embedded in the hilt began to show cracks, the sound was exactly that of a human bone breaking.

”Boom—”

Shortly after the fissures appeared, the human bone on the hilt of the Blood-Red Iron Sword shattered completely, bones disintegrating into the air.

”Whoosh—”

At the same time.

The disintegrated human bones turned into dark red mist, swirling around the Blood-Red Iron Sword.

Strangely, this dark red mist was not absorbed by the Blood-Red Iron Sword but quietly floated around it!
