Turning around, Huang Yaoshi strode over, helped the two people on the ground up, and circulated his power to heal their injuries.

A moment later, Mei Chaofeng and the other had recovered more than half, though their faces were still bloodless.

After a while longer, their injuries finally healed. Huang Yaoshi took a deep breath and said, "It was your master's miscalculation. I should not have taught you the Falling Blossom Divine Sword Palm. I should have brought out one of my finest sword arts directly. Watch closely now—the martial art I am about to teach you has not appeared in the martial world for a long time!"

As his words fell, he raised one hand slightly. A sword in the distance immediately flew through the air into his grasp as easily as taking something from a bag. Its edge flashed, humming and whistling.

Huang Yaoshi took another deep breath, stood where he was, and began demonstrating a sword art.

With a single thrust, majestic sword light howled forth, swift as a gale and fast as lightning. It stirred the air into sharp, rustling cries, its momentum extraordinary.

As he wielded the sword, the space around him seemed to become a domain of swords, with countless sword gleams and radiant light bursting in every direction.

This sword art had come from a sudden flash of insight Huang Yaoshi had one day through the Jade Flute Swordplay. He had named it Jade Flute Swordplay as well. With a sharp weapon added to it, this sword art was even more powerful than the original Jade Flute Swordplay. Under normal circumstances, he would never reveal such a supreme art!

"What are you looking at? Do you think I would steal the martial arts of your Peach Blossom Island? What a joke!" Ye Gucheng suddenly noticed Lu Chengfeng watching him and gave a disdainful snort.

With his arrogance, he did not take this sword art seriously at all. He considered his own sword invincible and saw no need to steal anyone else's swordplay.

Lu Chengfeng snorted coldly but said nothing.

On a distant hill, Chen Xiaofan took in every detail of Huang Yaoshi's sword demonstration.

One breath later.

You watched Huang Yaoshi demonstrate the Jade Flute Swordplay and grasped its essence. After careful thought, you distilled its core and comprehended the Jade Flute Divine Sword!

Three breaths later.

You watched the Jade Flute Swordplay for the second time. Combining it with the Jade Flute Divine Sword, you created the Jade Flute Thunderbolt Sword!

Five breaths later.

You watched the Jade Flute Swordplay for the third time. Combining it with the Jade Flute Thunderbolt Sword, you created the Xingyi Jade Flute Thunderbolt Sword!

Ten breaths later.

You watched the Jade Flute Swordplay for the fourth time. Combining it with the Xingyi Jade Flute Thunderbolt Sword, you created the Invincible Jade Flute Xingyi Sword!

"Good!" Chen Xiaofan nodded, exceedingly satisfied with what he had gained this time!

Huang Yaoshi was a famed veteran master. Chen Xiaofan had long coveted his martial arts, and now that he had obtained such an exquisite sword art as he wished, this was practically... hitting the jackpot!

But... did this Jade Flute Swordplay have any flaws?

With that thought, Chen Xiaofan looked again.

Yet no matter how he looked, he could not spot any shortcomings. As expected of the grandmaster known as the Eastern Heretic—the martial arts he created truly were formidable.

But after only a few breaths, he still found a trace of a flaw.

Because your comprehension is heaven-defying, after careful examination, you successfully discovered the weakness of the Jade Flute Swordplay. After some thought, you eliminated the weakness of the Invincible Jade Flute Xingyi Sword, increasing its power! Because your comprehension is heaven-defying, you continued pondering deeply and successfully forged a flawless Invincible Jade Flute Xingyi Sword. Its power increased greatly, reaching the Land Immortal level!

"Another Land Immortal martial art!"

Chen Xiaofan's heart jolted, and he was instantly overjoyed!

It had to be said—landing on Peach Blossom Island had made him rich overnight!

Over there, Huang Yaoshi demonstrated the Jade Flute Swordplay for a long time, sweating all over before finally stopping.

He turned and asked, "How much did you all comprehend?"

"Reporting to Master, this disciple comprehended thirty percent," Cheng Ying was the first to answer.

Mei Chaofeng hurriedly added, "Master, this disciple understood it this time. I should have comprehended about forty percent."

"Master, I comprehended fifty percent!" Lu Chengfeng said joyfully.

As for the others, they all shrank back timidly, not daring to speak.

Huang Yaoshi did not look at those too afraid to speak. He only glanced at the three who had answered. His expression was passable, but inwardly he let out a dejected sigh.

Alas, this Jade Flute Swordplay looks difficult, but it is actually easy to learn. I originally thought they could at least comprehend seventy or eighty percent. Yet even Lu Chengfeng, the one with the best comprehension, only grasped fifty percent. Peach Blossom Island truly has no one to carry on the torch!

Mei Chaofeng suddenly drew a sword and volunteered, "Master, this time I will definitely beat this surnamed Ye until he is sent sprawling in defeat!"

Before Huang Yaoshi could say anything, she had already rushed forward. Her sword shot out, its edge driving straight at Ye Gucheng's face.

Ye Gucheng sneered. He did not even use his sword, merely meeting her attack with its hilt.

Bang! Mei Chaofeng's sword snapped at once, and she was sent flying by a surge of True Essence, landing in a miserable state.

"Alas!" Huang Yaoshi kept shaking his head.

Idiot! Idiot! Does she think comprehending forty percent makes her impressive? She has embarrassed herself again!

Lu Chengfeng became somewhat frightened. The stance he had taken to draw his sword suddenly turned timid and hesitant.

Seeing this, Ye Gucheng sneered. "From what Senior Huang said earlier, wasn't this sword art supposed to be formidable? What, do you not dare to make a move?"

Lu Chengfeng's face flushed crimson. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I didn't eat this morning. Let me go back and eat my fill before we fight!"

"Why so much nonsense? You are truly bringing shame upon Peach Blossom Island. Huang Yaoshi, so these are the useless wastes you taught? Where are those legendary genius disciples? If you have the ability, bring them out and let me see!" Ye Gucheng sneered repeatedly, not sparing them the slightest bit of face!

Huang Yaoshi turned his back and said nothing.

From his angle, Ye Gucheng could not see it, but the disciples beside him could.

They all saw their master's old face turn red, as though it had been roasted over coals.

But they had only comprehended ten or twenty percent themselves. If they went up, would they not simply be using eggs to strike a stone?

Suddenly, Huang Yaoshi sensed something, and his brows furrowed.

"This martial art is the supreme skill of my lifetime. If it spreads..."

He suddenly thought of his unique ultimate skill—Finger Flicking Divine Skill!

But the reason this martial art was called a unique ultimate skill was because he alone knew it. If it were spread...

It would be a small matter if a few disciples learned it. What he truly feared was Ye Gucheng learning it.

But on second thought, Ye Gucheng had been so arrogant today. Just like with the Jade Flute Swordplay earlier, he would surely look down on it completely.

At this thought, Huang Yaoshi untied the knot in his heart and waved to the side. "You few, come over and watch carefully."
