The Thousand Army Saber's First Battle

Yi Yun frowned slightly. The young man said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Zhou Kui, from the Black Tortoise Legion!"

The entire Tai'a Divine Kingdom certainly has more than just the Brocade Dragon Guard; the Black Tortoise Legion is another elite legion of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom.

The average quality of ordinary soldiers in the Black Tortoise Legion is not as good as that of the Brocade Dragon Guard, but the number of soldiers in the Black Tortoise Legion is ten times that of the Brocade Dragon Guard.

In addition, the Black Tortoise Legion has specially trained elite legions whose members are no less capable than the elite members of the Brocade Dragon Guard.

The Black Tortoise Legion is mainly stationed in the northern territory of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, and also has a branch in Jingzhou. The Black Tortoise Legion made up a large part of the team that came with Yi Yun and Song Zijun this time.

After Yi Yun was stopped by Zhou Kui, the Brocade Dragon Guard also came over.

The military is a united place. In the event of any conflict, people from similar backgrounds will always help each other and stand together against external threats. If it's time to fight, they'll go all out!

"Brother Yi, what's wrong!" Xu Zheng, whom Yi Yun had met on the way here, came over. He was also a member of the Brocade Dragon Guard.

Yi Yun gestured with his eyes, and everyone present quickly understood what had happened. "Hey, five rooms, dividing them according to the number of people is fine, but does your Black Tortoise Legion intend to take them all?"

"That's too domineering! Who do you think you are!" someone said from behind Yi Yun.

In an instant, everyone from the Black Tortoise Legion stood behind Zhou Kui.

The men of the Black Tortoise Legion were generally more robust than those of the Brocade Dragon Guard.

In comparison, the Brocade Dragon Guard only had a dozen or so men, far fewer than the others.

A dozen or so against thirty or so people.

Yi Yun glanced at the burly Zhou Kui. He understood Tai'a Divine City's intentions. They deliberately arranged several medium-sized rooms among the lower-class rooms, and didn't assign accommodations to each trial participant. This was to put the trial participants who came to Tai'a Divine City in a competitive situation from the very beginning.

Competition, slaughter, and elimination—this is the motto of the Divine Desolation Army Camp's Death Dragon Gate!

This is evident in a simple competition for accommodation.

Zhou Kui, clearly aware of the rules, said confidently, "In this Tai'a Divine City, strength reigns supreme. These five medium-sized houses are clearly meant for us to fight over! Heh heh. I love to fight! You Brocade Dragon Guard want your share? Fine! We'll have a contest right here today, and whoever wins gets to live there!"

The Black Tortoise Legion was full of momentum, and they had the advantage in numbers. As Yan Menglong said, none of the young talents standing here were weak. The Brocade Dragon Guard, a dozen or so men, were fighting against the Black Tortoise Legion, which numbered over thirty. The outcome was predictable.

Even Yi Yun, despite his confidence in his abilities, could not possibly fight against multiple opponents alone.

"I know this Zhou Kui. His cultivation has reached the Peak of Purple Blood Mid-stage. He's just a little short of the Purple Blood Late-stage!"

"Beside Yi Yun," Xu Zheng said.

The current situation is that if they fight, they will definitely suffer losses; if they don't fight, they will hand over several medium-sized residences to others, and the Brocade Dragon Guard are unwilling to do so.

The Black Tortoise Legion had already surrounded the house. Zhou Kui chuckled, clenching his fists, his knuckles cracking, a provocative gesture.

His muscles were taut, like granite; it was hard to believe he was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

"I stand here today representing the Black Tortoise Legion. Who will come up and fight me? If you defeat me, you will naturally have the right to choose a room."

Zhou Kui understood that since Tai'a Divine City had made such an arrangement, then a few private duels were nothing to worry about, as long as the opponent wasn't killed or maimed.

Yi Yun glanced at Zhou Kui Zhou Kui, who had two weapons: a broadsword and a warhammer, both carried on his back.

Hammers are rare weapons, and generally only people with great strength can use them, since the attack speed of a hammer can never match that of a sword or blade.

As for Zhou Kui's battle sword, it was also an extremely heavy, thick-backed, large-ringed sword, completely different from Yi Yun's Thousand Army Saber.

The Thousand Army Saber Blade has a long, narrow blade with a very small curve, making it look more like a sword.

Compared to Zhou Kui's battle sword, they are completely different weapons.

Yi Yun pondered for a moment, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

Tai'a Divine City is a place of fierce competition. Since he has come here, Yi Yun intends to accept the law of the jungle. There are too many geniuses in Tai'a Divine City. If he doesn't suppress others, he will be suppressed by them.

In fact, not only in Tai'a Divine City, but on the long path of martial arts, as long as you want to continue, you will always encounter such competition. If you want to grow and become stronger, you must constantly strive for what belongs to you!

Without saying a word, Yi Yun slowly unbuttoned his collar, pulled out a light, thin gauze garment from inside his clothes, and casually handed it to Xu Zheng.

"Hold this for me," Yi Yun said, handing Xu Zheng the Flowing Silver Shirt.

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, not yet able to figure out what Yi Yun had given him.

Zhou Kui didn't react either. He still had his arms crossed, waiting imposingly for a challenger to step forward. His gaze swept around, his eyes carrying a slightly disdainful look. He only glanced at Yi Yun as he drew his Flowing Silver Shirt, barely noticing. His attention wasn't solely on Yi Yun; he didn't think Yi Yun was anything special among the dozen or so Brocade Dragon Guard.

At that moment, Yi Yun moved! Without warning or uttering a word, his body shot out like lightning.

The speed was incredibly fast!

"Snap!"

Thousand Army Saber are drawn!

After Yi Yun touched the threshold of the Great Perfection of the Subtle Movement Realm, his speed could only be described as terrifying.

"Buzz!"

The Thousand Army Saber sliced through the air, emitting a sharp, clear sound; however, even this sound could not keep up with the speed of the Thousand Army Saber Blade!

"Um!?"

Zhou Kui's pupils contracted. He reacted extremely quickly, retreating rapidly. At the same time, he released his arms from his chest and reached for the large ring-bladed sword and war hammer on his back!

However, just as Zhou Kui touched the hilt of the knife and the handle of the hammer, he had only taken three steps back when the tip of Yi Yun's Thousand Army Saber was already pressed against Zhou Kui's throat!

The blade was chillingly sharp, exuding a murderous aura and a biting cold!

Blood was already seeping from Zhou Kui's neck. Just now, if Yi Yun had been even a fraction of a second slower in withdrawing the Thousand Army Saber, his throat would have been cut open!

This long sword, not counting the 1.2-foot hilt, has a blade that's almost as tall as Yi Yun. When Yi Yun holds it, it exudes an imposing aura!

Zhou Kui remained motionless, his forehead beaded with cold sweat. For a fleeting moment, he truly felt as if he had almost died.

The surrounding crowd fell silent, all staring in disbelief at the scene.

"You... attacked us from behind!!"

Zhou Kui stared at Yi Yun's blade, holding his breath as he spoke. He couldn't guarantee that if he inhaled too violently, the blade wouldn't slice through his throat with the rise and fall of his throat.

At this moment, Zhou Kui was extremely frustrated. He had his arms crossed in front of his chest and his broadsword on his back, and he was just challenging Yi Yun when he suddenly attacked and killed him in one blow!

Before he could even unleash his full power, he was instantly defeated by a kid who was half a head shorter than him!

To spend a lifetime hunting eagles only to have one's eye pecked by a sparrow is an utter disgrace.

"On the battlefield, before the enemy wants to kill you, they'll ask if you're ready."

Yi Yun did not sheathe his sword; the tip remained pressed against Zhou Kui's neck, making it difficult for Zhou Kui to speak.

Zhou Kui shut up; the immense pressure from the super-long battle blade in Yi Yun's hand was simply too much for him.

At this moment, the Black Tortoise Legion was in an uproar; they were all dissatisfied and were shouting and clamoring.

"That's despicable! It was clearly a sneak attack, but they made it sound so high and mighty."

"If you've got the guts, put away your sword and have a proper fight with Brother Kui!"

Zhou Kui was one of the strongest among them. Zhou Kui was especially skilled in strength, and when he wielded his broadsword and warhammer, no one could stand up to him head-on.

Zhou Kui's speed, however, was relatively weak.

However, judging from Yi Yun's speed, coupled with his surprise attack, Zhou Kui was defeated in one move before he could even draw his sword.

However, Yi Yun simply couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to what these people were saying.

The blame lies with Zhou Kui for being too arrogant; when he challenged Zhou, he even crossed his arms over his chest.

"If this were on the battlefield, you would already be dead," Yi Yun said calmly.

Zhou Kui's face flushed red. He was indignant, but he also knew that what Yi Yun said was true.

He was a man who could take things in stride. Regardless of whether Yi Yun attacked him by surprise or whether he was stronger than Yi Yun, the fact remained that he lost to Yi Yun.

"You're ruthless!" Zhou Kui said through gritted teeth. "One of the medium-sized rooms is yours!"

Zhou Kui conceded, and Yi Yun sheathed his longsword.

Zhou Kui glared at Yi Yun resentfully, "What's your name?"

"Yi Yun!"

"Yi Yun? Fine! I've fallen into your hands this time. I'll remember you. I'll get my revenge today. I'll show you what my Ghost King Saber and Skull Crusher Hammer are like!"

Zhou Kui made some harsh remarks, Yi Yun ignored them completely. He simply carried the Thousand Army Saber and went into his house.

These five rooms cannot all be left to the Brocade Dragon Guard, nor can the Black Tortoise Legion monopolize them. Only whoever has the ability and the strength can move in.

Yi Yun really couldn't help those who were weak.

Yi Yun looked around the house; it was an ordinary stone house, and the furnishings inside were extremely simple.

A beam made of animal bone, a stone bed, a stone table, a chair, and a Spirit Gathering Formation.

The animal bone was quite ordinary to begin with, and given its age, the energy remaining within it was extremely limited.

As for the stone bed, it wasn't even covered with bedding; it was bare and hard. An ordinary person would feel pain all over their body after sleeping on such a bed for one night. The fact that the rooms in Tai'a Divine City didn't have bedding was actually to tell martial artists who came to train that they should use meditation instead of sleep.

Coming to Tai'a Divine City isn't for leisure; you'd be better off in your own fiefdom. The six years in Tai'a Divine City must be spent diligently cultivating and striving for self-improvement! (To be continued~^~)
