Chapter 36: Zhang Yunlu Tests Her Sword Against Chi Jiuyu
Zhang Yunlu recounted Chi Jiuyu's deeds one by one, as if listing her own family treasures.
Among the younger generation alone, she was truly a legendary existence. Across the entire Central Continent, only a handful of her peers could compare to her.
Moreover, her background was extremely mysterious. People only knew that she hailed from the Sword Sect and possessed extraordinary talent, but absolutely nothing about who her Master was.
Chi Jiuyu hadn't expected to have a fan here. She turned to look at Xu Xing, wanting to show off to her Shishu.
"I didn't expect you to be quite famous," Xu Xing said, not wanting to spoil the mood, following her lead.
Hearing this, she didn't know where she took out a folding fan, opened it with a 'kua' sound, gently fanned herself, and then said somewhat 'humbly', "Actually, there are quite a few excellent opponents out there, but they're still a bit lacking compared to me."
The pride in her eyes was undeniable.
Because she had changed her clothes after returning, wearing an orange T-shirt on top and denim shorts on the bottom, paired with flip-flops, and coupled with her current actions, she looked like a retired old cadre, quite abstract.
Zhang Yunlu: "..."
Could she have mistaken her for someone else?
"That's perfect, why don't you spar with your fan and see?" Xu Xing said with a smile.
Xuanjian City was too small. The reason he had Chi Jiuyu come down was to let Zhang Yunlu witness what a true prodigy of heaven was like.
"You even know the word 'fan'. Shishu, you're adapting quite quickly," Chi Jiuyu put away her fan and stood up. "But isn't this a bit of bullying for her, and this place is too narrow."
"You don't need to worry about that."
Clap!
Following a snap of his fingers, the two saw the surrounding scenery continuously moving away from them.
In an instant, Xu Xing became a small dot in the distance, and the extra space was a vast expanse of white, as if forcibly inserted into the world, or as if space had been directly stretched apart.
Near at Hand, Yet Worlds Apart?
Like the Innate One Qi Great Seizing, this was a very famous great Divine Ability.
She had encountered an opponent who used it during the Immortal Sect Grand Competition before, and they managed to stall her for over half an hour with Near at Hand, Yet Worlds Apart.
But this Divine Ability could be used like this, and Shishu's range was a bit too exaggerated, wasn't it?
"This size is enough for you to mess around," The voice she heard was still the same as before, as if Xu Xing was still sitting in his original position. "As for your Realm..."
The next moment, Chi Jiuyu felt her Nascent Soul magic power continuously degenerate and drop. In the blink of an eye, it had degenerated into Golden Core magic power. At this point, it still didn't stop. Soon, the characteristics of the magic power disappeared, leaving only pure Foundation Establishment true essence. Finally, the true essence also gradually became thin, until it turned into Qi Training Ninth Layer level spiritual energy.
Along with the drop in magic power, her physical quality, which was no less than a Nascent Soul Body Cultivator, also fell.
"Ninth Layer, just right."
Chi Jiuyu was not panicked, but rather quite curious.
What kind of Divine Ability is this?
Words Become Law?
Clenching her fist, feeling the unprecedented weakness, Chi Jiuyu looked at Zhang Yunlu, took out a sword, and swung it.
"Come on!"
Is she really going to fight?
And against Chi Jiuyu?!
Gulp.
Zhang Yunlu felt her heart beating much faster than usual, but for some reason, she wasn't scared at all; instead, she was a little excited.
Such an opportunity was too rare.
After backing away some distance, she took out her sword from her storage ring. The coldness from the sword hilt calmed her mood a little.
Taking a deep breath, she said seriously, "Please enlighten me."
"Come on, come on!" Chi Jiuyu appeared quite relaxed. "You make the first move."
"Okay."
Almost at the instant the words fell, both person and sword had already rushed towards Chi Jiuyu. Upon reaching her proximity, the sword body suddenly disappeared.
"This sword technique is truly insidious. I'll have to learn it from Shishu later."
Clang!
Chi Jiuyu just casually swung her sword and easily parried the sword body that reappeared.
Zhang Yunlu was not discouraged. She retreated and swung her sword, unleashing three sword beams, but they were still easily avoided.
"My Master once said that a Sword Cultivator must have their own style and not blindly follow sword moves. Being too fixated on rules and regulations will prevent one from becoming an excellent Sword Cultivator."
While speaking, her sword also followed Zhang Yunlu, the tip of the sword staying three inches from her brow.
No matter how Zhang Yunlu retreated or dodged, the distance never changed.
She retreated dozens of meters consecutively. Every time she wanted to swing her sword to knock it away, Chi Jiuyu seemed to have foresight. Her sword in hand was just a swing, easily blocking her sword.
She couldn't even unleash sword beams. A slight output of spiritual energy would be easily interrupted by Chi Jiuyu's seemingly casual sword strike.
At this moment, she realized the gap between them, even though Chi Jiuyu was only a few years older than her.
Her emotions fluctuated, but soon became calm again.
She couldn't continue like this. She had to give it her all!
Having made up her mind, she once again swung her sword and thrust towards Chi Jiuyu. The result was, as expected, parried.
But this time, Zhang Yunlu didn't retreat. Instead, she stepped forward, allowing the sword that slid off the sword body to slash towards her shoulder.
Oh?
She saw that Zhang Yunlu's eyes were incredibly calm, but upon closer inspection, one could detect a hint of deeply hidden madness.
Chi Jiuyu was a little surprised.
"That's enough. You are indeed very suitable to be a Sword Cultivator."
As the voice entered her ears, Zhang Yunlu suddenly felt her vision blur, a pain in the back of her neck, and the entire person instantly lost consciousness and fell forward.
With that last move, Chi Jiuyu finally became a little serious. She circled behind her and knocked her out with the sword hilt.
Reaching out to catch Zhang Yunlu who was about to fall, she said, "Okay, Shishu, we're done fighting!"
As this shout came out, the vast white space began to shrink, the distant scenery rapidly approached, and everything returned to its original state.
Xu Xing lightly tapped the table with his finger: "Give a review."
"Emm..." Chi Jiuyu first helped the unconscious Zhang Yunlu lie down on the chair. "She is indeed very suitable for Sword Cultivation."
She is not only ruthless to her enemies, but also ruthless to herself.
According to the old man in Zhizhang Hall, such people are born killing machines, but the current era is too peaceful, so many talented people like this have been buried.
"However, after she reaches Foundation Establishment, sending her to train in the Starry Sky Battlefield will make her a good Sword Cultivator."
On this matter, Chi Jiuyu was very serious.
After all, her goal was the position of the next Sword Sect Leader, and the more talented people she had under her command, the better.
"Shishu, will you let her join the Sword Sect?"
"It depends on her own wishes."
Then there's no problem. It's impossible for someone like her not to join the Sword Sect.
"However, a Combined Dao practitioner from the Supreme Dao Sect also seems interested in taking her as a disciple."
Bang!
Chi Jiuyu slammed her palm on the table. Although she controlled her strength, she still almost knocked the table over.
"Supreme Dao Sect? Which bastard dares to steal someone our Sword Sect has taken a fancy to!"
She had just had three accounts blacklisted, so she was furious when she heard the words Supreme Dao Sect now.
"What, are you planning to trouble a Combined Dao practitioner?"
"Of course not." She wasn't that arrogant. "Isn't there still Shishu? Are you just going to stand by and watch Combined Dao practitioners from other Sects bully people from our Sect?"
"The Supreme Dao Sect and the Sword Sect have been friends for generations. Do you think I would bully a Junior?"
Among the former Six Great Immortal Sects, the Supreme Dao Sect and the Sword Sect had the best relationship.
Perhaps some Cultivators within the two Sects had some friction, but the friendship between the two Sects would absolutely not change.
