The tense aura was burning. The two powerful sword intents collided, producing brilliant sparks. In an instant, the wind and grass within a hundred miles gathered under the violent wind, forming a layer of sword energy.
Tianji Zi held his sword in one hand and leaped into the sky, looking down on all living beings. This was a grudge that had existed for many years. However, the former protagonist had evolved from Daoist Xuantian to Ye Qiu.
The trauma from many years ago was still unforgettable to Tianji Zi. He looked fiercely at Ye Qiu below. He could sense the powerful sword intent emitted by the other party. However, just the sword intent alone was not enough to defeat him. His gaze locked onto Ye Qiu. Tianji Zi looked at the energy sword between his fingers and asked, “Where’s your sword?”
Ye Qiu placed one hand behind his back and gently waved his right hand. The condensed energy sword instantly erupted with shocking sword energy. “There’s no need to use a sword to deal with you!”
He did not use any treasures or spirit weapons. Instead, he only used the energy sword condensed from his two hands.
Ye Qiu’s control over sword energy had long reached the point of perfection after cultivating the Cursive Sword Art. Even without using a sword, he could still unleash the true power of the Cursive Sword.
Tianji Zi’s old face sank as he heard Ye Qiu’s casual tone.
“Arrogant!” Tianji Zi was furious. Ye Qiu was actually so arrogant in front of an expert like him. He didn’t even use his sword. He was looking down on him.
It wasn’t just him. Even the surrounding crowd felt that Ye Qiu was too arrogant. That was the First Elder of the Immortal Mountain, a powerhouse. Facing such an expert, he didn’t go all out and actually wanted to fight him with his body alone?
“He’s too arrogant. I admit that he’s very strong, but he’s not that strong, right? He doesn’t even use a sword. He’s completely looking down on his opponent.”
“No matter what,Tianji Zi is still an expert at the half-step Paragon realm. Even if Meng Tianzheng of the Heaven Mending Sect met him, he wouldn’t dare to look down on him like this, right?”
“He doesn’t use a sword?”
Everyone discussed and felt that Ye Qiu was being too arrogant.
Ye Qiu ignored everyone’s discussion. His body slowly rose like an immortal. His straight body and sharp eyes revealed dazzling sword intent. He slowly said, “My sword is everywhere…
“Watch carefully!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qiu instantly activated his sword energy. In an instant, a violent wind blew over.
Tianji Zi’s face darkened. He focused his gaze and saw that all the leaves and grass on the wasteland had fallen off.
“What sword technique is this?” Tianji Zi was shocked. The moment Ye Qiu activated his sword technique, all the leaves within a hundred miles turned into incomparably sharp swords.
After calming down, Tianji Zi performed a simulation in his mind and he suddenly revealed a shocked expression.
He saw the chaotic killing scene in Ye Qiu’s sword technique. In his mind, that shocking sword gradually appeared. There were thousands of soldiers and horses, the trees and plants became soldiers, forming rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. In that extreme domain was a complete killing array. And he was the master of that domain. No one in this domain could escape the fate of being killed.
On the wasteland, violent winds blew!
At this moment, Tian Jizi was completely shocked! In the beginning, Ye Qiu was just a brat with some achievements in his eyes. But at this moment, he was the undisputed Sword Dao Supreme.
Tianji Zi shook his head with a pale face and said, “Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! How can such a sword technique exist in this world? It must be an illusion. Yes, this kid must have deliberately created an illusion to wear down my will and make me retreat…”
Tian Jizi’s eyes lit up as he looked coldly at Ye Qiu.
“I admit that you do have some ability, but these little tricks are not enough to defeat me.” As he sneered, he faced the sharp sword of grass and trees that was attacking him. The Great Void in Tianji Zi’s hand swept over, and a stream of sword energy instantly cut through the vegetation in front of him.
“Is that so?” Ye Qiu revealed a meaningful smile. He wasn’t surprised at all by the cut vegetation. Instead, he looked at Tianji Zi mockingly. If this strike was really that simple, then it was not worthy of being called a divine technique.
Tianji Zi couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on Ye Qiu after the probing ended. He swept his sword towards Ye Qiu’s face.
The Great Void Sword Technique was carefree and unrestrained. It was like walking in the clouds. but it could sever the shackles of space in an instant, and was extremely powerful.
Tianji Zi pressed forward step by step. Ye Qiu’s reaction was indeed very abnormal. He didn’t attack, but kept dodging. He strolled leisurely and dodged Tianji Zi’s attacks several times. The two of them fought from the sky to the ground, and then from the ground to the sky.
The destructive power was extremely shocking. A forest and a huge mountain were cut apart by Tianji Zi’s sword, creating a river. The more he fought, the more valiant he became.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
“Oh my god, aren’t these two too strong? This level of battle is rarely seen in my life…”
“Is this the true battle of the Cardinal realm?”
Everyone exclaimed for a moment. That dazzling sword technique made them dizzy.
“I can’t see clearly at all! Can you slow down and take care of us little cultivators…”
Some people had a mental breakdown. This was the first time in their lives that they had witnessed such a battle, but they could not see the exquisiteness of it. Their hearts itched.
After hundreds of exchanges, Tianji Zi gradually became confident because Ye Qiu had been avoiding his sharp edge. It made him feel like the other party did not dare to really compete with him. He sneered, “Does your Violet Cloud Peak only know how to hide?”
“Oh? Since you’ve said so, I’ll satisfy you…”
Ye Qiu finally stopped dodging after dodging another strike. Through these hundreds of exchanges, he had gradually figured out the profundity of the Great Void Sword Technique. He paused and stood there straight, no longer moving.
“Good opportunity.” Tianji Zi’s eyes lit up. He finally revealed a happy expression when Ye Qiu had finally fallen for it. The Great Void spun around, and its sword intent erupted with all its might, instantly slashing over.
“Be careful…” In the crowd, Fuyao screamed with a pale face. However, the surrounding exclamations were too loud and covered her voice.
“Damn, why isn’t he dodging anymore?”
“Could it be that he knows that he has already lost and has given up resisting?”
Everyone was puzzled and stared at the scene in the sky.
When Tianji Zi’s sword arrived in front of him, Ye Qiu suddenly extended his right hand and gently clamped down with two fingers.
Bang.
The sound of sword intent colliding instantly emitted a shocking bang, and a huge force spread out from the surroundings.
The strong wind blew, making everyone unable to open their eyes. When the wind dissipated and they looked at the scene in the sky, everyone was suddenly stunned.
Silence…
The atmosphere instantly became terrifyingly quiet.
“This…”
Someone let out a cry of disbelief, but then fell silent.
In the sky, Tianji Zi had a look of horror on his face. He was at a loss as to what to do when he saw Ye Qiu’s fair fingers accurately clamp onto his Great Void Sword.
“That’s impossible…” He couldn’t believe the scene in front of him. This was a sword technique that he had unleashed with his full strength. Although it wasn’t his strongest strike, its power had already exceeded the limits of what a Cardinal’s body could bear.
How did Ye Qiu block this sword with just his fingers?
“What’s impossible?” Ye Qiu smiled meaningfully. A golden rune flowed between his fingers. Perhaps only he knew what the golden runes were.
That’s right! It was the True Dragon Bone Text.
Why was he so fearless and not used the sword? Because he was not weaker than any mortal sword.
Ye Qiu’s defense had long reached the level of a spirit artifact under the enhancement of the True Dragon Bone Text. In addition, the sword intent of the Cursive Sword Art protected his body. If he could not withstand such an attack, he would really be trash.
Qi Wuhui wasn’t wrong back then.
This casual finger easily resolved Tianji Zi’s sword. Ye Qiu mocked, “This… is your Immortal Mountain’s sword technique?” Ye Qiu pondered and said, “It doesn’t seem like much.”
“You…” Tianji Zi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Ye Qiu’s words were extremely humiliating. It was like a slap to his face.
“Haha… Isn’t this too embarrassing?”
Everyone present was amused as soon as these words were spoken.
Ye Qiu’s words were full of lethality, stronger than any sword technique he had used just now.
“Previously, Tian Jizi was still full of confidence, as if he was the number one in the world. His expression is terrifyingly dark now. I’m afraid he even has the heart to kill.”
“I didn’t expect Perfected Ye to be so gentle and refined.”
There’s actually such a two-faced side to him. His ability to humiliate others can be said to be top-notch.”
Everyone laughed as they watched this scene.
Tianji Zi was furious. His heart sank as he coldly looked at Ye Qiu. The mocking laughter in his ears was like a sharp sword that ruthlessly pierced his heart. He originally only wanted to teach Ye Qiu a lesson and take revenge for Daoist Xuantian beating him up back then.
Unexpectedly, he was humiliated by him instead. This no longer seemed to be a personal grudge now that things had developed to this point. Instead, it was a question of whose inheritance was stronger.
If he admitted defeat today, it would be equivalent to telling the world that the Immortal Mountain was inferior to the Heaven Mending Sect. How could Tianji Zi let such a thing happen? He immediately said coldly, “You forced me! I hope you don’t regret your arrogance…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tianji Zi instantly exerted strength and withdrew the Great Void Sword. He attacked left and right, performing a set of sword techniques in the sky.
An even more astonishing sword force was formed in an instant. A moment later, a Great Void Sword Formation appeared.
Ye Qiu lowered his head and looked at the sword formation patterns under his feet. He frowned and thought to himself.
“Eh… Sword formation? Hmm… Interesting.” He suddenly revealed a playful smile.
Everyone was puzzled. Some sharp-eyed people had already recognized that the sword formation was the Immortal Mountain’s supreme inheritance, the Great Void Sword Formation. It was a heaven-grade sword technique, and its might was comparable to the Heaven Mending Sect’s Heaven Mending Technique.
Ye Qiu didn’t panic when he faced such a sword formation. Instead, he smiled. What was the meaning of this?
“Ye Qiu, didn’t you want to see my Immortal Mountain’s true ultimate technique? Today, I’ll do as you wish.” After the sword formation was formed, Tianji Zi revealed a confident smile and said arrogantly, “But don’t blame me for not reminding you. This sword is extremely powerful. Once it is used, it will be a sure-kill sword. I can’t even control it. Don’t blame me if you can’t take it and accidentally die inside. It’s not too late for you to admit defeat now. You can’t pay with your life for a moment of impulse.”
Before activating the sword formation, Tianji Zi deliberately threatened that as long as Ye Qiu admitted defeat and admitted the strength of the Immortal Mountain, he could consider letting Ye Qiu off. After all, he had only come for the mountain treasure. If he used this sword formation, the consumption would be too great, and it would not be very beneficial to him.
However, Ye Qiu didn’t seem to have any intention of admitting defeat. Instead, he lowered his head and continued to study the totem on the ground. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said seriously, “I don’t think there’s anything special about this sword formation.”
“Arrogant…” Tianji Zi was furious. He had already planned to let Ye Qiu off, but he didn’t appreciate it and even mocked the Immortal Mountain’s supreme inheritance.
Tianji Zi was completely enraged.
Just as he was about to activate the sword formation, suddenly a terrifying dragon suddenly raised its head. In an instant, a huge sword floating in the air gradually revealed itself above the Heavenly Abyss.
This sudden change shocked everyone present.
Ye Qiu soared into the sky step by step. He arrived in a leisurely manner above the Heavenly Abyss and stood under the huge sword. That world-destroying sword force instantly pressed down. Everyone was suppressed to the point where they found it difficult to breathe.
“This…”
“This is a true sword formation.”
Everyone was shocked. Under that huge sword, the vegetation within a hundred miles seemed to have been revived. In an instant, he condensed the power of ten thousand swords again and set up a killing array under the Heavenly Cycle Domain.
Everyone could clearly feel that the aura of these swords of the grass and leaves were hundreds of times stronger than before.
“Oh my god, what kind of sword technique is this? Isn’t it too exaggerated?”
“Compared to this, the Great Void Sword Formation is simply a disgrace.”
“It’s ridiculous. It’s simply ridiculous.”
Ye Qiu had already set up a sword formation under that barrier.
A shocking sword force instantly erupted from the huge sword hanging above his head. At this moment, he was like a sword immortal who had fallen to the mortal world, filled with an immortal aura.
Coming under the huge sword, Ye Qiu said calmly, “Let’s stop here. I’ve already seen your so-called Immortal Mountain supreme inheritance. Hmm… how should I put it? It was just so-so. Now, it’s time to let you see how the inheritance of Violet Cloud Peak that you once looked down on is. My time is limited, and I don’t need any extra sword techniques. If you can withstand this strike, I can pretend that nothing happened today.
“Come on…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge sword in the sky slowly activated. That terrifying pressure was like a huge mountain that slowly pressed down. In an instant, all the sword energy in the domain began to wantonly attack Tianji Zi.
At this moment, Tianji Zi’s face was pale and weak, and the hand holding the sword began to tremble. He used all his strength to execute the Great Void Sword Formation to block Ye Qiu’s sword energy attack. He was somewhat powerless.
He finally understood why Ye Qiu was so calm earlier. It turned out that he had never taken his so-called powerful sword techniques seriously. Furthermore, he had the capital to be confident. The source of his confidence was this strike.
He did not understand. It was fine if he could not defeat Daoist Xuantian back then, but why could he not even defeat his disciple now?
Ye Qiu seemed to have entered a magical state. He gently raised his right hand, pressed two fingers together, and slowly slashed down.
In an instant, the huge sword above his head smashed down.
Tianji Zi revealed a look of fear. He no longer held back and erupted with his full strength as he faced this sword. He finally used some of his strength as a half-step Paragon. He waved his sword with his right hand and took out a cauldron with his left hand and used it to block above his head.
A powerful force spread out, and the Wasteland in a hundred miles was in a mess.
Boom…
The huge sword slashed down with a deafening sound, and the entire ground trembled. Even the four Paragon ferocious beasts fighting fiercely on the distant mountain looked over in surprise.
“Pfft…”
Tianji Zi spat out a mouthful of blood. He had barely blocked this sword even if the cauldron shattered. Unfortunately, he had already been severely injured and almost lost his life.
At that moment, he vaguely felt the aura of death. His soul felt a strong pressure under the pressure of that sword.
“Oh my god, it’s too fierce…”
No words could describe this strike. Everyone was stunned. They looked at Ye Qiu with respect. At this moment, no one dared to question his strength and call him arrogant. How was he arrogant? He was just telling the truth. What was wrong with him telling the truth?
“Senior Brother…”
After the battle ended, Li Daoyuan, Li Changkong, and the others immediately went forward to support Tianji Zi and protect his heart meridian.
A moment later, Ye Qiu slowly descended from the sky and came to Tianji Zi’s side. He looked at his doubtful gaze. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said, “Immortal Mountain’s supreme inheritance, hmm… is nothing much.”
“Pfft…” Tianji Zi spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.
Everyone was shocked.
“F*ck, such humiliation…”
“That’s amazing. Tianji Zi was already furious to begin with, and he even added another blow at the last minute.”
Ye Qiu left without looking back after he finished speaking. He had already achieved his goal. It didn’t suit his character to stay and act cool.
“Senior Brother, wake up…” Li Changkong and the others were at a loss as they looked at the unconscious Tianji Zi. Then, he looked at the crowd and understood that the Immortal Mountain had lost all their dignity today.
The Grand First Elder of the Immortal Mountain could not even defeat the master of Violet Cloud Peak. If news of this got out, Immortal Mountain would never be able to accept an extremely talented disciple in the future. As long as one had some talent and was smart, it was impossible for them to go to the Immortal Mountain. Whoever went would be embarrassed.
“Let’s go…” After saying this coldly, Li Daoyuan carried Tianji Zi and left in extreme anger. If they stayed any longer, it would only be even more embarrassing.
