Immortal Soaring Blade

After a few breaths of time, Leng Rufeng and Luo Xie released their own sword energies toward Liang Yongtian’s sword art. “Fast Fall Sword!”

Both of them released the second layer of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Art, but the feeling each of them gave off was completely different. Leng Rufeng’s sword art was like the rustic autumn wind, cool and calm, while Luo Xie’s sword art was like the fierce autumn wind, intense and powerful.

Everyone had a different personality, which would result in a different understanding of the sword art. Therefore, they would display different intents with the same sword art. Zhao Jiuge refused to back down and loves to fight injustice, which was why his sword intent was bold and unyielding.

All sword immortals came from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect. Although it was an exaggeration, it wasn’t too far from the truth. About seven out of ten sword immortals came from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect. All the life-linked swords left by the elders showed the sect’s long history. Forget the main Mysterious Heaven Sword Art, there were countless other sword arts created by various disciples and elders in the sect. They were simply overshadowed by the Mysterious Heaven Sword Art. To put it simply, when it came to swords, the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect was the ancestor of all the other sword sects!

The sword energy attacks released by the three of them displayed three different intents. Liang Yongtian had a mocking smile on his face, but when their attacks collided, he was shocked.

As the Chief Head Disciple of the Music Sword Pavilion, he naturally had his own pride, and his cultivation was indeed strong. In his view, even though they came from a holy land, these two were only ordinary disciples. They had inferior cultivation and so he was confident he could deal with them.

He believed that he could quickly end their fight by releasing the sword art he was proficient at. However, reality was the opposite of what he expected.

Liang Yongtian was an extremely confident person, so when he saw that he was on the losing end, he couldn’t accept it.

The moment the sword energies collided, the other disciples of the Music Sword Pavilion could feel a vague, stabbing pain, so they had to activate the spirit force inside themselves.

The surrounding leaves feel like rain, and the branches and even tree trunks were cut down by the residual sword energy.

The three of them were competing with pure power without any fancy skills. The result of this confrontation would depend on one’s basic skills, spirit force, and the sword arts of their respective sects. Another factor was how well one understood the intent of their sword art.

At first, Liang Yongtian’s sword energy held the advantage due to his higher cultivation level, but the moment it collided with Leng Rufeng’s word energy, they reached a stalemate. The two sides rapidly consumed each other.

However, when Luo Xie’s sword energy mixed in, Liang Yongtian’s sword energy dissipated rapidly. Luo Xie and Leng Rufeng were weaker than Liang Yongtian, and they were using precious treasure swords compared to his spirit treasure sword. Liang Yongtian couldn’t accept this result, and his expression became fierce. He also had his fellow juniors watching him!

After Liang Yongtian’s sword energy dissipated, the residual sword energy from Luo Xie and Leng Rufeng flew at him. Liang Yongtian let out a cold snort and casually swung his right hand. A ray of sword energy flew out and destroyed the two rays of residual sword energy flying at him.

Liang Yongtian would naturally not let this end here, and his expression became serious. Although he was angry, he still had to admit that the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect was strong. However, strength didn’t just depend on one’s sword art, but also on other factors, or else there would be no use for treasures and spells. Even when one was stronger, they could lose their life to a weaker opponent if they became careless!

Luo Xie smiled and said, “Hmph, the Chief Head Disciple of the Music Sword Pavilion is quite mediocre. Did you become the Chief Head Disciple because your sect lacks talent, or are all the other disciples just weak?”

Luo Xie was only at the early stage of the Spirit Core Realm, plus his sword was of much lower quality than Liang Yongtian’s. While the two of them had successfully blocked Liang Yongtian’s attack, they had suffered some backlash in the process. Luo Xie had suffered some minor injuries from the shock.

Hearing Luo Xie’s mocking and provocative words, Liang Yongtian had a gloomy expression on his face, but he didn’t respond. However, the disciples behind him were all very angry and filled with righteous indignation. They felt the urge to rush up and teach Luo Xie a lesson.

Liang Yongtian raised his brow and coldly looked at the others. The violent spirit force inside his body suddenly stopped and rushed into the sword in his hand.

“Plum Flower Falls Like Rain.”

Liang Yongtian let out a dull cry, and the sound of falling rain echoed. His sword shined brightly, and his spirit force was rapidly consumed. As his sword moved, plum flowers made of sword energy appeared, each one giving off a sharp aura.

Zhao Jiuge’s eyes became cold when he saw this. Liang Yongtian was actually using a spell. He could tell that this spell was powerful—it was similar to his Moon Dance and Star River. He was ready to intervene because he felt like Leng Rufeng and Luo Xie wouldn’t be able to withstand it. While he didn’t like Liang Yongtian, he had to admit that he was strong, and not many people in the younger generation would be his match. However, he had encountered Zhao Jiuge and even bullied Zhao Jiuge’s brothers.

The plum flowers in the air were very life-like, but they gave off a silver glow! The moment they appeared, they surrounded Luo Xie and Leng Rufeng before descending upon them. It was easy to tell that if one were to touch those plum flowers, the consequence would not be pretty.

Zhao Jiuge quickly pulled out his sword and held it in his hand, ready to interrupt at any moment. The three of them had much higher cultivation levels than the people here, so even though they were close, they hadn’t been detected. Normally, Liang Yongtian would have noticed them, but he was focused on Luo Xie and Leng Rufeng, plus he didn’t care about his surroundings.

“Hehe, San Wu was right this time. You really are going to get involved again. Unfortunately, it's not two beautiful women, but two grown men. You missed the chance to play the hero rescuing the beauty.”

When Pei Su Su saw him, she naturally knew that Zhao Jiuge was ready to get involved, so she teased him with a playful smile.

San Wu and Pei Su Su would naturally not get involved, because first of all, there was no need to, as Zhao Jiuge was more than strong enough. Secondly, they were Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect disciples. And lastly, they were Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. To them, this was like watching children play around. It would be rather tasteless for them to get involved, not to mention both were far stronger than normal Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

“You think everyone is as beautiful as you? How can meeting a beauty be so easy?”

Zhao Jiuge simply smiled at Pei Su Su’s teasing, and he threw back a compliment at her. After being with Pei Su Su for a while, Zhao Jiuge had become more lively and was not as introverted as before. San Wu was changing as well.

Pei Su Su ignored his compliment and raised her brow. “Eh? When did you become so slick? Since beauties are so hard to find, then what’s going on with that Ling Bo Re? She is the cold beauty of this generation. You also talked about Bai Qing Qing, and presumably she isn’t bad either. In addition, your senior sister Fu Hongling has been famous for a long time. Have you never had any thoughts about her?”

After she finished speaking, she raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhao Jiuge with a teasing smile.

Her final words shocked him. He was no match when it came to a battle with words. He decided to remain silent and focus on the battle instead.

“It should be enough just for you to go down by yourself to teach them a lesson. Don’t overdo it, or you’ll cause more trouble. While we’re not afraid of trouble, you still want to find the Chilling Fire Flower, so we can’t keep running away from trouble.”

Seeing Zhao Jiuge remain silent, Pei Su Su didn’t push it too much. As a woman, it would be strange if she didn’t have an issue with the matter related to Ling Bo Re. However, since Zhao Jiuge didn’t want to speak about it, she wouldn’t push it and instead had shifted the topic to the situation at hand.

Hearing Pei Su Su’s reminder, Zhao Jiuge nodded and softly said, “I know. I’m finally able to meet my two brothers again, so I naturally want to have a good chat with them. I won’t be impulsive.”
