Chapter 9: The Second Sword!
Not long after, a red-clothed figure emerged, sword in hand, and landed steadily on the central platform.
“Sword Hall’s Xin Hongyi, where is the person from the Grass Hall? Come up and fight!”
Lu Changseng, who was not far away, was taken aback by this. “Has Ye Qiubai provoked this girl? Why is she specifically calling him out?”
The Sword Hall elder, who was standing nearby, heard this and frowned. “To be precise, it was you who provoked her.”
“Ah?” Lu Changseng pointed to himself, puzzled. “No way, I haven’t
even touched a woman’s hand up till now, how could I have provoked her?”
The Martial Hall elder covered his face, annoyed. “When you accepted your disciple earlier, Xin Hongyi specifically asked to join your Grass Hall, but you rejected her. So, she must want to prove herself stronger
than Ye Qiubai.”
Lu Changseng’s expression turned strange.
Others also recognized Xin Hongyi.
“Wasn’t she the one who was rejected by the Grass Hall back then?”
“And now she wants to challenge Ye Qiubai, a disciple of the Grass Hall?”
“However, Xin Hongyi is very strong too.
Her record in the arena is even better than Ye Qiubai’s.”
Ye Qiubai heard the surrounding conversations and understood the situation. He picked up a wooden sword and jumped up onto the platform.
Xin Hongyi saw this and raised an eyebrow, looking at Ye Qiubai’s wooden sword with some displeasure.
“You’re using a wooden sword? Are you looking down on me?”
Ye Qiubai replied calmly, “My master said that with a sword intent, any leaf or wood can be a sword.”
The Sword Hall elder looked at Lu Changseng with a complex gaze. “It seems your swordsmanship has reached a high level.”
“Ah?”
Lu Changseng scratched his head, thinking carefully. Did I say that?
On the platform, Xin Hongyi murmured, “A
sword intent, and all things can be a sword…” She then put away her treasured sword and took out an ordinary iron sword without any aura, saying, “Well, I won’t take advantage of you. Let’s fight.”
Both of them were at the same level, the Golden level. However, Xin Hongyi was very arrogant, wanting to defeat Ye Qiubai with her own motivation, without relying on any external objects.
This would prove to Lu Changseng that
not choosing her was a huge mistake. Thinking this, Xin Hongyi even gave Lu Changseng a provocative look.
Ye Qiubai shrugged, took a small step, and suddenly, cracks appeared on the ground, and he burst out!
Xin Hongyi’s eyes narrowed, and her iron sword stabbed out, emitting flames! The flames burned fiercely, distorting the space, and slashed towards Ye Qiubai!
Ye Qiubai remained calm, holding his wooden sword, and struck out towards the flames! The wooden sword emitted a black aura, filled with demonic energy, as if it wanted to subdue the heavens!
“Ah, the Heaven Demon Nine Swords?” A man with a goatee in the audience touched his chin, smiling. “Interesting, he’s actually cultivated that incomplete volume.”
Another man with a feather fan walked over,
“Impressive, this Heaven Demon Nine Swords gets harder to cultivate towards the end, and it’s even an incomplete volume.”
Some people in the audience saw these two men and couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Martial Hall’s Huo Qingming! Array Hall’s Lin Ce!”
“They’re the top experts of each hall now!” “Both of them are in the Purple level’s mid-stage, but
they have the power to destroy the Purple level peak!”
After the Golden Elixir, comes the Purple Mansion.
At this time, a man walked to Huo Qingming’s side and whispered, “Brother Huo, that person is Ye Qiubai, the one we talked about.”
“Oh?” Huo Qingming stroked his chin, looked at the man, and smiled mysteriously. “Ye
Yan, are you sure you want me to take him down? After all, he’s also a member of your Ye family, your younger cousin, right.”
Ye Yan’s eyes revealed a fierce intent, and he said harshly, “He must be destroyed!”
“Alright.” Huo Qingming sighed and said, “I owe your Ye family a favor, and now I’ll repay it.”
Ye Yan gazed at Ye Qiubai above, coldly smiling. “Although I want to take care of you personally, I’ll let Huo Qingming be your
opponent, you should feel honored.”
Meanwhile, on the high platform, Ye Qiubai’s wooden sword had already struck the flaming sword! The flames didn’t burn the wooden sword, but instead, began to shake violently, as if they were about to be dispersed!
“Heaven Demon Nine Swords?” Xin Hongyi was shocked, her iron sword trembling wildly, and even her own mind began to tremble! The reason was the demonic energy emanating from Ye Qiubai’s body, which seemed
to suppress all things! This was also the fearsome aspect of the Heaven Demon Nine Swords – not only could they slash through everything, but they could also make their opponents submit!
Xin Hongyi quickly stabilized her mind, gritted her teeth, and struck out with her iron sword again. The flames surged violently, and the entire platform seemed to be burning!
The Sword Hall elder commented, “Xin Hongyi’s flame sword energy is
a unique family technique that can burn everything, extremely overbearing.”
“I don’t know how far Ye Qiubai has cultivated his Heaven Demon Nine Swords, how many swords can he wield?” The speaker looked at Lu Changseng, seeking an answer.
Lu Changseng, who was reclining on a chair
with his eyes closed, replied casually, “He’s only been practicing for two days.”
“Then it’s likely… he’s no match for Xin Hongyi’s flame sword energy.”
The Sword Hall elder, who had also cultivated the Heaven Demon Nine Swords, knew that it took him a full month to grasp the first sword, and several years to barely reach the
threshold of the third sword.
Ye Qiubai saw the massive flame sword energy and his eyes narrowed. “Second sword…” Suddenly, a formidable aura that seemed to subdue all things emanated from Ye Qiubai’s body!
The demonic energy surged!
Xin Hongyi’s face changed drastically, as if she were now facing a mighty demon who scorned the heavens!
“Second sword!” The Sword Hall elder jumped up! This was only two days’ worth of
practice!
Xin Hongyi gritted her teeth, knowing that her current abilities were no match for Ye Qiubai’s single sword. She couldn’t resist. Thinking this, Xin Hongyi bit her finger, and a drop of blood oozed out.
At the same time, she put away her iron sword and took out the treasured sword! Then, she swiftly wiped it on the sword body!
“With blood, I’ll consecrate my sword!”
Xin Hongyi’s face suddenly turned pale, but the intensified flame sword energy reflected on her face made it seem blood-red! She struck out with her sword! It collided with Ye
Qiubai’s wooden sword, which was emitting dark demonic energy!
The sound of the collision was loud! In just an instant, Xin Hongyi spat out a mouthful of blood! The flame sword energy was directly dispersed by the
dark demonic energy, unable to withstand it. Xin Hongyi also fell backwards, landing on the ground, her hands covered in blood. Even her grip on the sword was trembling uncontrollably, clearly having
lost all
fighting strength. Ye Qiubai sheathed his sword, his expression calm and unsurprised.
“Thanks for the fight.”
