“How many moves do you guys think that Lin Yue can block Senior Brother Gai Hao?”
“Senior Brother Gai Hao has already broken through the first mountain of the Ancient God Mountain and swallowed the holy water from the first holy spring, his cultivation must have greatly improved, he should at least have reached the Fish Dragon Second Transformation, and it’s even possible that he could break through to the Fish Dragon Third Transformation.”
“With Senior Brother Gai Hao’s current cultivation, a mere Lin Yue is worthy of being his opponent?”
“Lin Yue’s strength, it’s still quite strong, at least he should be able to block Senior Brother Gai Hao’s two or three moves.”
The strength that Zhang Ruochen had just displayed was indeed very strong, but no one present favoured him. Because, in their hearts, Gai Hao was like a god-like existence that no one could defeat.
Even Zhao Han’er, who was blindly worshipping Lin Yue, didn’t believe that Lin Yue could defeat Gai Hao.
However, she felt that with Senior Brother Lin Yue’s cultivation, he shouldn’t be crushed by Senior Brother Gai Hao, or at least still have the power to fight.
Xun Hua Liu didn’t even dare to utter a single breath, fearing that Lin Yue would make a mistake in his head and really agree to fight with Gai Hao.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Gai Hao’s sharp eyes, not showing any weakness at all, and said with a smirk, “Pang Long is not qualified to fight with me, in fact, your strength is still a bit short as well.”
Although, Zhang Ruochen said it euphemistically, the people present were not fools, and all of them could hear that Lin Yue’s meaning was obvious, that is, he was saying that Gai Hao was not qualified to fight him either.
Xun Hua Liu was so scared that her thighs went soft and she shivered, almost kneeling down for Zhang Ruochen, Brother, can you not play with fire like that? That was Gai Hao.
Gai Hao knew that it was Pang Long who had struck out first to hurt people, yet he still helped Pang Long, Zhang Ruochen naturally couldn’t stand to see it.
However, all geniuses were very proud in their hearts.
How could Zhang Ruochen not be the same?
Zhang Ruochen’s heart was actually more proud than anyone else.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t being arrogant, but rather, he was telling the truth because with his current cultivation, Gai Hao was indeed no longer qualified to be his opponent.
“Boom!”
Because of Zhang Ruochen’s words, the entire Shangqing Palace became smouldering, and all of a sudden, everyone present was furious.
“Berserker! Too arrogant! To actually dare to speak such big words in front of Senior Brother Gai Hao.”
“Unconscionable, really thinking that obtaining the three Ancestor Sword Intentions is so great, when Senior Brother Gai Hao was first promoted to Sacred Transmission Disciple, he was the one who obtained the Original Pure Sacred King Ancestor’s Sword Intentions.”
“On the territory of the Shangqing Palace, how dare he be so unselfish, wouldn’t Senior Brother Gai Hao lower his status by taking action, or would it be better to let me, Daogu Yi, teach him how to behave humbly.”
Zhang Ruochen had provoked the public’s anger, and a Holy Transmission disciple called “Dao Gu Yi” rushed into the dojo with great strides and attacked Zhang Ruochen.
Dao Gu Yi’s face was rather thin, and he possessed the cultivation of the Third Transformation of the Fish Dragon. His arm quickly rotated in a circle, and nine one-foot-long green wood swords flew out from his sleeves.
The green wood swords were made from ground essence iron wood, sharp to the extreme, cutting iron like mud, each handle was a ninth rank true martial artefact.
To be able to become a Sacred Transmission Disciple, Daogu Yi was naturally a man of great strength, and his strength was quite high, having once defeated a Fish Dragon Fourth Transformation Green Clothes Elder.
“Nine Extreme Sleeve Sword.”
The nine green wooden swords connected into a line, like a nine-sectioned whip, in mid-air, forming a sinuous arc, winding towards Zhang Ruochen’s neck and waist.
Among battle weapons, whips were the nemesis of swords.
The whip, able to strike short with long, was able to overcome hard with soft.
Right now, Dao Gu Yi was making the sword and the whip combine together to achieve the effect of both rigidity and flexibility.
The nine green wood swords could both break in a split second, turning into nine sharp swords that struck Zhang Ruochen’s nine vital points. At the same time, the nine green wood swords could take the form of long whips and perform more variations.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, ”Your sword technique is more subtle than strong, it seems to be unpredictable, but it is actually unbearable. If you can’t comprehend the true meaning of rigidity and flexibility, even if you cultivate for another twenty years, you won’t be able to reach the realm of Sword Mind.”
Dao Gu Yi snorted coldly and pushed his palm forward, striking out a steady stream of true qi from his body, catalysing the nine green wood swords to attack Zhang Ruochen at the same time.
Zhang Ruochen’s index and middle fingers pinched together and catalysed the Heart of Sword Intent, and instantly, the nine green wood swords attacking him immediately stopped, hanging in mid-air and trembling unceasingly.
“Go back.”
The nine green wood swords, flew backward.
“Boom boom!”
Dao Gu Yi was struck by the hilts of the nine green wood swords, and a muffled sound came out of his mouth as he flew off the ground. He landed back on the ground and staggered back more than ten steps before stabilising himself.
Dao Gu Yi felt a great pain at the junction of the nine meridians in his entire body, and with just a little bit of luck, his meridians would be abnormally swollen and painful, as if they were about to burst, and he was simply unable to continue striking out.
Of course, he also knew that the other party had been merciful.
Just now, it was only the hilt of the Nine Swords that hit his body and sealed his meridians.
If it was the tip of the nine swords that struck his body, right now, he would probably have collapsed on the ground and would not be able to get up.
From this, it could be seen that with the other party’s strength, he would be able to kill him with just one move.
“Sword Heart Passage! I really didn’t expect that you’ve actually reached the realm of Sword Mind Understanding, I’m impressed, the poor Taoist is convinced of his loss.”
Dao Gu Yi bowed and bowed to Zhang Ruochen, picked up the nine green wood swords and exited the dojo.
For a moment, the entire dojo fell silent, and only a sound of sucking in cool air could be heard.
It was too terrifying!
Lin Yue’s strength was too terrifying!
Dao Gu Yi was already a Sacred Transmission Disciple ten years ago, but he didn’t expect that he would actually be defeated so easily by Lin Yue. Even if it was Gai Hao, he might not be able to win so crisply.
What was even more frightening was that he had actually reached the Sword Dao realm of “Sword Heart Understanding”.
It must be known that even among the older generation of holy disciples, there were only a very small number of people who possessed such a sword Dao realm.
As for Lin Yue, he had only just been promoted to the rank of Sacred Transmission Disciple, and he had already reached a height that many people could not reach in their entire lives.
The disciples of the Two Yi Sect who had previously felt that Gai Hao was bound to win, all of them fell silent.
The strength displayed by Lin Yue was simply stunning, I’m afraid it was no longer below Gai Hao.
In the crowd, a green-robed elder who was more than a hundred years old let out a voice of admiration from his mouth, “Lin Yue’s great talent has come of age, it’s simply like a submerged dragon coming out of the sea, about to soar into the sky.”
In the past, Lin Yue was also a rare genius, but, at most, he could only be considered a crane. The current Lin Yue could simply be called a dragon and phoenix amongst men.
Zhao Han’er was also staring with wide eyes, her face red with excitement, her heart beating so fast that it was almost like it was going to explode. Senior Brother Lin Yue was too powerful! How could Senior Brother Lin Yue be this outstanding?
A grave expression also appeared on Gai Hao’s face as he began to look squarely at this opponent in front of him, saying, “Lin Yue, your strength is indeed very strong. From now on, you can already be considered my opponent.”
Just as the crowd was expecting a peak battle between Gai Hao and Lin Yue, in the Shangqing Palace, Yuan Long Half-Saint, Zixia Half-Saint, and Pure Lan Half-Saint walked out together.
The bodies of the three Half-Saints all radiated eye-catching light like the blazing sun, and cultivators who hadn’t reached the Fish Dragon Realm couldn’t even see their true faces.
Aside from the Sacred Transmission disciples, all the rest of the people all fell to their knees and said in unison, “Greetings to the Ancestor.”
“Get up!”The Zixia Half-Saint said.
Only when all the disciples had all stood up did the Yuan Long Half-Saint speak, “Lin Yue, Gai Hao, you guys retreat for now, this seat is about to announce something important.”
Zhang Ruochen and Gai Hao bowed to the three Half-Saints at the same time, then each retreated.
Everyone concentrated, their eyes staring reverently at the Yuan Long Half-Saint, curious to know what great event he was about to announce?
“As long as one reaches the Fish Dragon Realm, whether it’s a Sacred Transmission Disciple or a Green Clothes Elder, all of them can participate.”
“The purpose of this Sword Dao Competition is to determine the top ten ranked Sword Dao masters in each realm, to represent the Two Element Sect to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference on the ninth day of September, and to face the world’s sword cultivators. This is a supreme honour and, at the same time, a chance to prove oneself.”
The top ten ranked Sword Dao magnates were qualified to participate in the Sword Discussion Assembly, which meant that they could show their faces in front of the top sword cultivators in the world.
This alone was enough to make countless cultivators fight for their heads.
All of the disciples of the Two Element Sect present became excited.
The Yuan Long Half-Saint added, “The time for the Sword Dao Competition is set for the ninth day of March, and at that time, all of the Sacred Transmission disciples who have been travelling outside will be rushing back to the sect to participate in this grand ceremony. Any Sword Dao hero who breaks into the top ten of each realm will have the opportunity to enter the Sword Pavilion in advance to participate in the Wordless Sword Spectrum, and, before the Sword Dao Competition, there will be a Saint personally instructing the cultivation of Sword Dao.”
“In order to encourage everyone to participate in the Sword Dao Competition, the clan will take out a large amount of cultivation resources and reward the participants. This Sword Dao Competition is divided into nine levels according to the level of cultivation.”
“The top ten of the Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation level will each receive a holy sword.”
“The top ten of the Fish Dragon Eighth Transformation level, each person can receive a Ninth Grade Glazed Treasure Pill.”
“For the top ten of the Fish Dragon Second Transformation level, each person could receive a twelfth rank True Martial Treasure Weapon level ancient sword.”
“The top ten of the Fish Dragon First Transformation level, each person can receive a holy stone.”
After hearing the Yuan Long Half-Saint introduce the prizes for the Sword Dao Competition, all of the disciples of the Two Element Sect, all of them, had their blood boiling, and they couldn’t wait for the Sword Dao Competition to start immediately.
Even if it was only the lowest level of the tournament, the top ten of the Fish Dragon First Transformation level would be able to receive a holy stone.
In other words, it wasn’t the stronger the cultivator was that would receive the reward. As long as the cultivator’s sword technique was sufficiently superior and his physique was strong enough, he still had the chance to spar.
A holy stone could be exchanged for ten million spirit crystals, which was enough to purchase a large amount of cultivation resources and could even be used to establish a clan.
Not to mention, there were rewards that were even more precious than holy stones.
