Chapter 977: Green Duckweed Sword VS Absolute Immortal Sword
"Xueyu, I don't want to be a strict mother, but if you keep making mistakes, don't blame me for using family rules!" Gaoyang's face turned much more serious as she looked at Xueyu, saying.
"Hmph, family rules!? Try me!" Xueyu bared her teeth, holding the Absolute Immortal Sword, staring at Gaoyang with a fierce look, like a grown leopardess.
"The Absolute Immortal Sword, huh? Your father really treats you well, actually giving you the Absolute Immortal Sword!" Gaoyang said with a touch of sentiment on her face as she looked at the sword in Xueyu's hand.
It looked as if she wasn't aware of the Absolute Immortal Sword being in Xueyu's possession.
"Hmph, scared? If you're afraid, just leave and never come back to confirm any identity with me again. I have no mother, and no father!" Upon hearing Gaoyang's words, Xueyu assumed she was terrified of the Absolute Immortal Sword in her hand, and she spoke without restraint.
Obviously, it was an order to leave.
"A ruler rewards and punishes clearly, parents teach their children the same, rewarding the right and punishing the wrong! Since you're making mistakes, as your mother, I have no choice but to use family rules!" Staring at Xueyu, Gaoyang was about to take action.
However, before making a move, she had to explain why she needed to act.
"If you have the ability, try me!" Xueyu said unceremoniously, staring at Gaoyang while holding the Absolute Immortal Sword tightly.
Ancestor Minghe quietly observed from the side and didn't intervene. Just now, Gaoyang's words were indeed reasonable, as they were a family, and a mother disciplining her daughter was not his place to step in.
After all, although a mentor is close, it's not as close as the relationship with one's parents, right?
Moreover, from Minghe's perspective, every word and action of Gaoyang was reasonable, and even if he wanted to intervene, there was truly no suitable reason.
So, after some thought, Minghe not only had no intention to intervene, but instead, he took a few steps back.
Well then, letting Xueyu suffer a bit might be good too. Judging by Gaoyang's demeanor, she was showing authority as Xueyu's mother, likely without any intention of truly harming her.
"Fine, let me see how much of the Absolute Immortal Sword's power you can wield!" Gaoyang slightly nodded while looking at Xueyu wielding the sword and glaring at her.
As she spoke, she lifted her hand, and a cyan Divine Sword appeared in her hand, the Green Duckweed Sword, bestowed by the Sect Hierarch Tongtian.
The Absolute Immortal Sword is indeed powerful, but its greatest strength lies in its ability to form the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation with the other three swords.
Alone, the Absolute Immortal Sword isn't considered the most supreme treasure.
However, the Green Duckweed Sword is different. It is the proof of the Sect Hierarch Tongtian's path to enlightenment, and perhaps its killing power doesn't match the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
Yet, when compared alone with the Absolute Immortal Sword, naturally, the Green Duckweed Sword is superior.
Xueyu, without restraint, waved her hand, sending the earth-shattering sword aura toward Gaoyang.
Facing this strike from the Absolute Immortal Sword, Gaoyang's expression remained unchanged, and she calmly swung the Green Duckweed Sword in her hand.
An even larger wave of sword energy pressured Xueyu.
Both sides, each holding a Divine Sword, attacked one strike after another, making the scene look very lively.
However, anyone with discerning eyes could clearly see that from the battle situation, the Green Duckweed Sword in Gaoyang's hand was absolutely surpassing the Absolute Immortal Sword.
Xueyu wielded the Absolute Immortal Sword, striking out with sword after sword, with increasing force and faster frequency.
The sword aura, meant to destroy the heavens and earth, truly had a world-ending aura.
Despite that, Gaoyang maintained a calm demeanor and continued to wield the Green Duckweed Sword in her hand, mirroring Xueyu's attacks exactly.
If Xueyu swung horizontally, Gaoyang would also swing horizontally.
Similarly, if Xueyu slashed vertically, Gaoyang would follow with a vertical slash.
In short, no matter what form Xueyu's attack took, Gaoyang matched it with precisely the same form.
Yet, Gaoyang's Green Duckweed Sword was far more powerful than the Absolute Immortal Sword.
Therefore, with the same move, Gaoyang's sword energy was larger and stronger!
Boom boom boom!
Sword energy splattered, destroying everything in its path!
With identical sword moves, every attack of Gaoyang was able to shatter Xueyu's sword energy.
Appearing like a fierce battle with soaring sword energies on both sides, it was intense, yet everyone could see that Gaoyang was completely suppressing Xueyu in every way.
"Indeed, the treasure of a Saint is extraordinary..." Ancestor Minghe, hidden on the side, quietly watched the battle between Xueyu and Gaoyang, and after a long while, sighed with a sense of admiration.
Yes, the Absolute Immortal Sword in Xueyu's hand was completely suppressed.
This was not a matter of the Absolute Immortal Sword lacking strength; rather, the Green Duckweed Sword was too powerful, a treasure signifying Sect Hierarch Tongtian's enlightenment, with truly extraordinary power.
"No, I must defeat her, I can't lose!" Clutching the Absolute Immortal Sword, Xueyu had already swung hundreds of waves of sword energy, yet battling Gaoyang felt like fighting a mirror, every attack was returned, and even stronger than her own.
This combat scenario left Xueyu feeling very frustrated, and she intensified the frequency and strength of her attacks.
Unfortunately, no matter how Xueyu attacked, the situation in front of her couldn't change at all.
"It's no use, her sword is much stronger than my Absolute Immortal Sword!"
After fighting for a long time, Xueyu also came to understand that if she solely relied on the Absolute Immortal Sword, it was impossible to defeat the woman in front of her.
Therefore, she had to think of a way to find another breakthrough point, but did she have any other way to break through?
After pondering for a few moments in her heart, Xueyu had an idea. Regardless of its effectiveness, she could try it anyway!
With this thought, Xueyu took a deep breath and activated the cultivation technique of the Blood Sea Sutra.
Under her power's guidance, the waters of the Blood Sea instantly surged into waves a hundred feet high.
Following Ancestor Minghe's teachings, Lingyu practiced the Concentration Art, primarily focusing on tempering her Divine Soul, which is the power of the spirit.
In contrast, Xueyu practiced the Blood Sea Sutra, allowing her to cultivate using the aura of the Netherworld Blood Sea.
Naturally, she could also manipulate the blood water of this Netherworld Blood Sea, which would greatly enhance her strength when engaging in battles here.
Under the control of the Blood Sea Sutra, the massive hundred-foot blood wave fiercely slammed towards Gaoyang.
At the same time, taking advantage of the obstructed view as the wave crashed, Xueyu wielded the Absolute Immortal Sword in her hand and unleashed three earth-shattering Sword Qi, pressing them behind the wave.
"The techniques are quite impressive!"
Assuming the role of an elder, Gaoyang watched Xueyu's attack methods and nodded secretly, not showing any sign of anger. On the contrary, he felt quite satisfied.
However, being satisfied was one thing; meeting for the first time meant that, as a parent, one naturally needed to establish one's authority.
Between Jiang Liu and herself, as husband and wife, one must spoil the child while the other must rigorously teach them.
Due to grievances, it seemed impossible for Jiang Liu to play the role of the strict father, so she had to take on the role of the stern mother herself.
Therefore, at this first meeting, to firmly establish her role as a strict mother, she absolutely couldn't fall behind.
Taking a deep breath, facing the hundred-foot-high waves of the Blood Sea, Gaoyang held the Green Duckweed Sword and swung it heavily, a dazzling Sword Qi emerging.
The blood waves were directly split apart!
Behind the blood waves, there were also three world-ending Sword Qis — Xueyu's hidden attack method.
However, the Sword Qi unleashed by the Green Duckweed Sword was unprecedentedly enormous.
Facing one against three, this gigantic Sword Qi collided with the three Absolute Immortal Sword Qi.
After a brief stalemate, the three Absolute Immortal Sword Qi fragmented and collapsed.
Then, the indomitable Green Duckweed Sword Qi continued to press fiercely towards Xueyu.
"Oh no..." Seeing a single Sword Qi shattering her three Sword Qi, Xueyu was stunned.
She could only watch helplessly as the enormous Sword Qi came crashing down towards her.
"Dangerous!" Witnessing this, Ancestor Minghe's expression changed, just as he was about to move to save her, he realized the overwhelming Green Duckweed Sword Qi vanished abruptly.
Meanwhile, Gaoyang's figure, pressing behind the Sword Qi, charged towards Xueyu.
"You..." Facing Gaoyang, who appeared before her, Xueyu's pupils slightly contracted.
Without any nonsense, Gaoyang grabbed Xueyu, flipped her over, and pressed her to the ground. Then, with the body of the Green Duckweed Sword, she struck Xueyu's buttocks.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Although it wasn't the blade, merely using the sword's body to strike, it seemed these strikes carried no intention of holding back, causing Xueyu to wail loudly.
"Stop it! You bastard!" Pinned by Gaoyang and unable to break free due to being of lower cultivation level, Xueyu could only curse loudly.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
Hearing Xueyu's curses, Gaoyang's face bore a look of anger, and her strikes became even harsher!
"You damn wench, I'll kill you, I'll kill you someday!"
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
...
Half an hour later, perhaps the beatings were too harsh, or perhaps she had no strength left to shout, Xueyu ceased her struggles, her buttocks swollen high, saying nothing more.
Hearing Xueyu gradually quiet, Gaoyang then ceased her actions of hitting.
She touched Xueyu's swollen buttocks and directly pulled her skirt up.
"What are you doing?" Xueyu was startled.
"Don't move!" Gaoyang sternly commanded.
As she spoke, she also pulled down the pants under Xueyu's skirt.
With a slight smile, Ancestor Minghe's figure transformed into a splash of blood water, disappearing into the Blood Sea.
Gaoyang, however, took out some ointment and applied it to Xueyu's severely swollen buttocks.
Feeling Gaoyang applying the ointment, Xueyu no longer resisted.
"Now, do you know what you should call me?" Carefully finishing applying the ointment on Xueyu, Gaoyang asked.
"M-Mother..."
