Little Nine Couldn't Be Heavenly Sword Real Person, Could He? Fellow Disciples Meet Again

Leizhou.

Deep in the Yanshan Mountains.

Two figures were practicing swordplay in front of the wooden house. Every move was full of affection, like the sun and moon reflecting each other, displaying exquisite beauty in the rising and setting of the sun and moon. This combined Swordsmanship required the two people to be in perfect harmony in order to unleash amazing power. The murderous intent lurking beneath the dreamlike surface should not be underestimated.

A moment later.

Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua stopped their sword fight; Lin Ruhua's eyes were filled with happiness.

"Bai Shan, your comprehension is truly unparalleled. With the two of us using this Sun and Moon Sword Swordsmanship, we could even put a Yuan Pill Realm expert to a standstill."

Her beloved is a martial arts genius, which makes her admire him and feel incredibly proud.

Jiang Baishan smiled slightly, and then said:

"My meager understanding is far from being unparalleled in the world. If you knew about Little Nine's deeds, you would definitely not think so."

Lin Ruhua was a little curious. Jiang Baishan rarely mentioned Ning Qi. Her impression of Ning Qi was from the last time she attended the True Martial Peach Gathering. That time, Ning Qi gave the two of them a pair of mandarin duck Jade Pendant she still wore at her waist.

She had sensed Ning Qi's unusual status when they were on the mountain, which could be gleaned from the attitudes of everyone around them.

It's strange that such a prodigious disciple of True Martial Mountain is almost unknown, but she never asked any questions about it.

Hearing Jiang Baishan bring it up himself, she finally couldn't help but ask:

"Tell me quickly about the amazing things about Ninth Junior Brother."

Jiang Baishan smiled, gently stroking Lin Ruhua's belly, his thoughts seemingly traveling back in time to the year Ning Qi had just begun learning martial arts:

"If you calculate the time, Little Nine is now over eleven years old, but do you know how long he's been practicing martial arts?"

Eight years.

Lin Ruhua's eyes widened.

Does this mean that Ning Qi started practicing martial arts at the age of three?

This is unheard of.

Jiang Baishan continued:

"That year, Little Nine had just embarked on the path of martial arts, yet he already displayed monstrous talent. Ru Hua, you know that I cultivate the Suanni Stance, one of the True Martial Nine Piles. It took me three years to cultivate it to the point of Perfection Divine Intent. But do you know how long it took Little Nine?"

"A year?" Lin Ruhua hesitated, feeling that this timeframe was already quite outrageous.

Jiang Baishan shook his head with a smile, filled with emotion:

"It took a day. Or perhaps it didn't even take a day."

Lin Ruhua was stunned, speechless.

To cultivate a Higher Vehicle Stake Skill to its highest level in just one day is simply unbelievable. If these words hadn't come from her husband's mouth, she would never have believed it.

Jiang Baishan laughed:

"Actually, after that, we stopped investigating Little Nine's cultivation level. When we brothers and I sometimes brought it up, we avoided the topic. We all knew that Little Nine might have already quietly surpassed us."

"He's only eleven years old. His future is limitless. Becoming the strongest in the world is only a matter of time. If our child could have half of Little Nine's talent in the future, that would be wonderful."

He was deeply moved.

Lin Ruhua nodded instinctively.

A mother naturally has boundless hopes for her child, believing that her child will always be better than others. But after hearing Jiang Baishan's description of Ning Qi, she also sincerely hoped that her child could be as exceptionally talented as Ning Qi in the future.

She couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen, her face full of affection.

Jiang Baishan also came over.

He placed his large hand on Lin Ruhua's lower abdomen, his eyes filled with anticipation. This was the fruit of their love, and especially at this moment, it was like a beacon of hope shining in their hearts.

The two nestled together, watching the sunset, and talked about their hopes for their future children.

Suddenly.

Both of them shuddered and looked into the distance.

Almost simultaneously, they drew their swords and stood ready. They sensed powerful, undisguised auras approaching from all sides, accompanied by low laughter:

"How wonderful! I never imagined that the daughter of the dignified Vice Sect Master of the Holy Gate would stoop so low as to get involved with a disciple of the True Martial Sect, betraying the Holy Gate and even giving birth to a bastard child. How wonderful!"

The voice was laughing, but everyone could sense the anger within it.

Lin Ruhua's face turned pale, and all her hopes vanished.

"He is an elder of the Demon Sect, who has been at the Celestial Person Realm for a long time. Although he has not yet reached the level of the Celestial Person Ranking, he should not be underestimated."

She spoke very quickly, her voice barely audible as a mosquito's buzz in Jiang Baishan's ear:

"Bai Shan, listen to me. I'll hold them off while you find a chance to escape. Don't worry, my mother is the vice sect leader of the Demon Sect, they won't dare do anything to me. But you're different. If they capture you, they'll definitely use you to threaten Master and Senior Brother!"

Jiang Baishan's expression changed, and he resolutely shook his head:

"It's just death, how can I abandon my wife and children and leave alone? Besides, they came prepared. Even disregarding this Celestial Person Realm expert, I won't be able to escape those other Gang Essence Realm experts either."

He knew that the people from the Demon Sect might not harm Lin Ruhua's life, but what would happen to her after she was captured was completely unknown, and there was absolutely no way he could protect his unborn child.

He was prepared to fight to the death.

Both of them were in pain.

Just moments ago we were dreaming of the future, and now we've fallen into this state of despair.

Guilt in Lin Ruhua's eyes:

"Non-Self hadn't gone out on my own some time ago, I probably wouldn't have left any traces. Bai Shan, it's my fault."

Jiang Baishan grasped her right hand and shook his head firmly:

"We are one, why say such things? We will not even fear our unborn child!"

The two exchanged a glance, then smiled, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes.

Since that's the case, the only option left is to fight to the death.

Perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope?

In a very short moment.

A dozen or so martial artists dressed in black quietly appeared near the wooden house, surrounding it. All of them were at the Gang Essence Realm, with several at the Yuan Pill Realm.

Then an old man with a ruddy complexion slowly descended from the sky. He stood in mid-air, looking down at the two of them, exuding a sense of oppression. The words just spoken were those of him.

"Miss Lin, it seems your judgment isn't very good either. Instead of choosing the peerless holy son of the Holy Gate, you chose this mere White Mist Realm brat. You're truly blind," the old man mocked.

Lin Ruhua knew why.

Because of Lin Xueshuang's power and status, she has always been a highly sought-after figure within the sect. Many people want to gain her support by marrying into her family. Qin Yun's case was just one example. The Elder Ye before them is another supporter of Ye Qin, a candidate for Holy Son.

She was secretly furious, but showed no sign of it on her face.

"Elder Ye, please be merciful and let us go. If you let him leave, I can go back with you, even if it means marrying Ye Qin."

Lin Ruhua immediately revealed her trump card, causing Elder Ye to show a hint of surprise, but he quickly chuckled:

"How laughable! We offered you a marriage outright, but you refused. Now you're a used woman, and you still want to marry Qin'er? Truly laughable! Let me tell you, the wild man beside you today will die, and the bastard child in your belly will be lost. As for you? You'll have to go back and await the Grand Elder's judgment!"

Lin Ruhua's gaze turned cold:

"Elder Ye, aren't you afraid that my mother will completely side with Jiang Tianlong?"

This is another candidate for Holy Son.

Since Qin Yun lost power, it has been a competition between Jiang Tianlong and Ye Qin, and it has reached a fever pitch. Everyone knows that after the Holy Gate Martial Saint is born, the Holy Son will become the next generation of Martial Saint candidates.

Upon hearing this, Elder Ye merely chuckled coldly.

"It seems Miss Lin is unaware of the situation within the Holy Gate. In that case, please come back with me to take a look."

Lin Ruhua's heart sank.

She was always quick-witted, and upon hearing Elder Ye's words, she roughly knew what had happened to her mother.

However, now is not the time to worry about her mother. On the surface, she was dealing with Elder Ye, but in reality, she was observing which direction would be the best to break through. Jiang Baishan suppressed his anger and drew a few lines on Lin Ruhua's palm with his right hand.

The two were of one mind; a single glance or gesture was enough for them to understand each other's feelings.

Lin Ruhua took a deep breath and opened her mouth to speak, but in the next instant, she and Jiang Baishan burst into action at the same time. The two of them wielded their long swords, unleashing their Gang Qi, like two dragons merging into one, presenting a scene of the sun and moon shining together. Their sword energy pointed eastward, and their coordination was flawless.

It erupted so suddenly.

The Demon Sect martial artist at the Jade Liquid Realm on the east side was instantly killed, and the two broke through the encirclement and fled into the distance.

Elder Ye was slightly taken aback, looking at the two men's moves with some approval, but then a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He waved his hand.

The remaining warriors then all charged out.

In the distance, several martial artists suddenly rushed out and blocked Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua's path.

The slight joy that had just appeared on their faces vanished instantly. They hadn't expected the Demon Sect to send so many people; these fifteen or sixteen Gang Essence Realm warriors alone were enough to put them in a deadly situation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Baishan swallowed a Blood Burning Pill and simultaneously activated the secret technique extended from Ning Qi's Virtual Sword Pill Disintegration Technique.

"Kill!"

In an instant, his Gang Qi surged even more fiercely. With the cooperation of Lin Ruhua, he actually forced several Yuan Pill Realm cultivators to be somewhat restrained. This was mainly because Jiang Baishan's reckless fighting style, risking his life for his own, made the other Demon Sect sect warriors somewhat wary.

However, the difference in raw strength was undeniable. Jiang Baishan was already injured, with several deep, bone-revealing bloodstains appearing, causing Lin Ruhua's eyes to blur with tears.

Blood had already begun to flow onto the jade Jade Pendant with mandarin ducks at her waist.

Elder Ye, seeing this scene, couldn't help but snort softly:

"A bunch of useless trash!"

Seven or eight times the number of people, including several Yuan Pill Realm cultivators, couldn't defeat two Jade Liquid Realm warriors. This made him somewhat angry, but also somewhat admiring.

"This True Martial Sect lad does indeed possess some skill; he's a remarkable individual. Given time, he'll undoubtedly become an unparalleled powerhouse. It's a pity he's not a member of my Holy Gate." He shook his head slightly, his body already soaring into the air.

He wasn't going to waste any more time.

The gloom in Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua's hearts deepened, as they could already sense the approaching terrifying sense of oppression.

The gap between the Celestial Person Realm and Gang Essence Realm is far too great, not to mention that these two are not even at the Yuan Pill Realm.

now.

Elder Ye slammed down with his palm, and a huge palm print immediately pressed down, accompanied by howling winds, as if it were wailing.

Jiang Baishan stood in front of Lin Ruhua, feeling as if his bones were about to break, his hair ornament shattered, and his hair wildly whipping around, yet he roared in fury:

"Old dog Ye, if you don't die today, I will surely slaughter your entire clan tomorrow!"

This was the only sentence he had spoken since the start of the war.

His eyes were fierce, like a wolf's, sending a chill down Elder Ye's spine. This boy truly possessed unparalleled talent; if he were allowed to escape, he would pose an endless threat in the future. He sneered.

"That day will never come. Today you will surely die, and be shattered to pieces!"

The palm print pressed down with overwhelming force.

He deliberately took his time, wanting Jiang Baishan to savor the suffocating feeling of impending despair.

Jiang Baishan's Gang Qi shattered inch by inch. His eyes reddened, and he could no longer roar. He could only watch helplessly as the palm print crushed towards him. Lin Ruhua's eyes were blurred with tears. She wanted to beg for mercy, but she was also suppressed by the power of heaven and earth and could not speak. She could only watch helplessly as Jiang Baishan suffered his calamity.

Everyone watched with amusement.

The palm print was already less than ten feet above his head, like a mountain pressing down on him. Jiang Baishan knelt on the ground, his body covered in blood, but he was unyielding. Suddenly, his spirit trembled and he sensed a wave spreading out. He looked down and found that the source of the wave was the mandarin duck Jade Pendant that Ning Qi had given him. However, the Jade Pendant was now stained with blood and looked somewhat sinister.

He was about to think.

"Buzz!"

A buzzing sound resounded in everyone's ears, Elder Ye immediately felt a sense of alarm, his figure quickly taking off into the air.

The Jiang Baishan's Jade Pendant shattered, and his unparalleled Sword Intent surged forth, sending terrifying Sword Qi flying outwards.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Before anyone could react, even Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua were stunned. But then, they were jolted awake by the screams that echoed around them. The Sword Qi energy was terrifying; the men in black around them had no chance to fight back and were instantly killed.

Elder Ye was being chased away by a terrifying Sword Qi. The two saw it from afar, and Elder Ye screamed in agony as a flash of blood appeared, and a severed arm was pulverized by the Sword Qi.

Both of them were dumbfounded, stunned by the sudden turn of events.

"This is... Jade Pendant that Little Nine gave us?"

Jiang Baishan still held a fragment of the Jade Pendant in his hand, his heart filled with turmoil.

Lin Ruhua touched the intact Jade Pendant at her waist, her face also filled with shock.

The scene before my eyes was truly astonishing.

Their miraculous escape from despair brought them to tears of joy. Fortunately, both of them were aware of their current situation and had no time to think about it further.

Lin Ruhua helped Jiang Baishan up and quickly said:

"Bai Shan, Old Ghost Ye only lost an arm. We need to get away immediately, otherwise, if he catches up, even if he's injured, we won't be a match for him."

Jiang Baishan nodded quickly.

The two gathered their Gang Qi and tried to erase their tracks as they fled into the mountains and forests.

They fled at breakneck speed.

Jiang Baishan looked miserable, but he wasn't actually seriously injured. Now that he had a moment of respite, he couldn't help but recall the terrifying burst of Sword Qi he had just witnessed:

"Ruhua, didn't you feel that Sword Qi and Sword Intent just now looked somewhat familiar?"

Lin Ruhua was also pondering this matter.

Upon hearing this, she instinctively replied:

"Heavenly Sword Real Person!"

Jiang Baishan nodded vigorously:

"That's right, it's Senior Tianjian! This Sword Intent is exactly the same as the True Martial Sword Stele and the Sword Intent he used when he made his move before!"

The two exchanged a glance as they ran, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Little Nine... what's his relationship with Senior Tianjian?"

"Perhaps... Ninth Junior Brother has been favored by Senior Tianjian?"

Various speculations arose in their minds. Hearing Lin Ruhua's explanation, Jiang Baishan felt it made sense, but he also vaguely felt that something was not right. However, if Heavenly Sword Real Person was Little Nine, that would be too outrageous.

He shook his head, casting aside all distracting thoughts, but his heart was filled with warmth. Regardless of the specific relationship between Heavenly Sword Real Person and Ning Qi, it was no easy task for Heavenly Sword Real Person to create such a powerful treasure. It would have been impossible to do so without a deep bond between the two brothers.

"We really owe this to Little Nine."

Jiang Baishan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Ruhua, our biggest trump card right now is the Jade Pendant you have left. We must use it wisely, or we won't escape Old Ghost Ye's pursuit."

Lin Ruhua nodded vigorously and handed over the Jade Pendant:

"You take over! Old Ghost Ye will definitely catch up soon. We should try to kill him in one fell swoop so that we can have a chance to escape. Based on my understanding of the Demon Sect, they never send out just one force. There must be others among them. We must get rid of Old Ghost Ye before they arrive."

Jiang Baishan did not refuse.

As the two ran through the mountains and forests, they stuffed various pills into their mouths to try and improve their condition.

At this moment, Elder Ye...

They finally recovered from their previous shock.

"This Sword Intent is somewhat similar to the Sword Intent of the Heavenly Sword Real Person mentioned in the intelligence. It seems that the Heavenly Sword Real Person sealed two Sword Qi for the two of them. How hateful!" Elder Ye gritted his teeth as he looked at his severed left arm.

He was caught off guard and ended up in a terrible predicament, becoming disabled.

"Jiang Baishan's Jade Pendant is gone, and now only Lin Ruhua's remains. I need to be even more careful." Having just managed to remove the lingering Sword Intent, he was extremely wary of that Heavenly Sword Real Person, and at the same time, he hated Jiang Baishan and the other person with a passion.

He secretly vowed that if he captured the two, he would make them wish they were dead!

Without hesitation, he soared into the sky.

They followed the trail the two had taken to escape.

The speed of the Celestial Person Realm cultivator traveling through the air is naturally extremely fast. Furthermore, both of them were injured and unable to conceal their tracks. Therefore, Elder Ye caught up with them in no time, his face grim.

"You two little bastards, you think you can run away?"

His voice was loud and resounding, and the mountains and forests undulated like waves. Giant trees were snapped by the power of heaven and earth, and the two figures were revealed.

Jiang Baishan's merciless, cold laugh was sarcastic:

"Old dog, losing an arm doesn't feel good, does it?"

Elder Ye was furious:

"Very well! I'll show you what true cruelty is in a moment!"

"Old man, come on if you dare!" Lin Ruhua raised the Jade Pendant in her hand, holding it in her palm with only a corner showing. Elder Ye couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

The two fled at breakneck speed, running continuously deep into the Yanshan Mountains. Although the power of heaven and earth was strong, it was too far away. Jiang Baishan and the other man could barely evade it in their disheveled state. Patches of forest were destroyed by Elder Ye in his rage. Elder Ye was testing them, gradually lowering the altitude, and the pressure on the two men was increasing.

Suddenly.

Lin Ruhua paused, raising the Jade Pendant in her hand:

"Old dog, beware of Sword Qi!"

Elder Ye was horrified and immediately took to the air, the shadow of his arm being severed still looming before his eyes.

But who knew?

There was no Sword Intent erupting at all. Jiang Baishan and his companion seized the opportunity and disappeared into a forest, where mocking laughter could still be heard.

"What a cowardly old dog!"

Elder Ye was furious, veins bulging on his forehead. He was so humiliated that he wanted nothing more than to tear the two of them to pieces.

A moment later.

He tried to get closer again.

Lin Ruhua resorted to her old tricks again.

Elder Ye was so frightened that he once again took flight and moved away. Even though he knew that Lin Ruhua might be bluffing, he dared not gamble, otherwise, if he lost another arm, he would suffer a huge loss.

Lin Ruhua's laughter was incredibly clear and crisp in the mountains and forests, which Elder Ye found extremely grating. His face darkened to the point of being dripping with water.

Being repeatedly outmaneuvered by two juniors is an utter disgrace.

During the pursuit.

They ventured deeper into the Yanshan Mountains, where it was said that beast kings also existed. Jiang Baishan and his companion planned to use a clever strategy to drive away the beasts and devour the wolves, thus escaping.

Elder Ye had clearly noticed this as well.

He waved his hand, channeling the power of heaven and earth, the oppressive feeling growing stronger and stronger. Having been repeatedly toyed with by Lin Ruhua, he was becoming impatient. His body descended lower and lower, and the distance he was pulled into the air after each frightened moment became shorter and shorter. Both of them kept spitting blood. At this distance, the aftershocks of the power of heaven and earth were enough to harm them.

Jiang Baishan swung his sword, only to be swept away by the aftershocks of the power of heaven and earth.

Lin Ruhua raised the Jade Pendant again:

"Old dog, take this!"

Unexpectedly, Elder Ye grinned maliciously and instead of raising his rank, he lowered it. He wanted to psychologically undermine them and catch them off guard. The power of heaven and earth swept in, and the full force of the power of a Celestial Person Realm expert was unleashed. Lin Ruhua's body was immediately blown away.

"You really lied to me!" Elder Ye laughed wildly, trying to grab Lin Ruhua.

But almost instantly, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Lin Ruhua loosened her grip, and the Jade Pendant fell to the ground. It was clearly a fragment of the Jade Pendant, the one that Jiang Baishan had previously owned.

Elder Ye was horrified.

A peerless Sword Intent erupted from behind him in an instant, and terrifying Sword Qi attacked, causing him to subconsciously let out a strange cry.

Jiang Baishan's slightly manic laughter rang out:

"Old dog, the real sword is with me!"

The two acted madly all the way, finally convincing Elder Ye that the Jade Pendant was in Lin Ruhua's hands. Little did he know, the two had already swapped them at the very beginning, and now it had finally worked.

Jiang Baishan awkwardly helped Lin Ruhua up. The two stood up, and this time they could finally see the power of the Sword Qi energy.

One after another, Sword Qi swept towards Elder Ye Elder Ye manipulated the power of heaven and earth, he could not do anything about these Sword Qi. Instead, the sharpness of the Sword Qi energies cut through one barrier after another.

A scream of agony followed.

Elder Ye had half of his body severed off, his aura weakened to the extreme, and he fell from the void.

Jiang Baishan and his companion were overjoyed.

The results were even greater than previously anticipated.

They had no intention of dealing with Elder Ye, even if his aura was weak. After all, he was still Celestial Person Realm cultivator. If he had some trump card to counterattack, their joy would turn into sorrow. Their only thought at this moment was to escape as quickly as possible!

However, the moment he took a step, Elder Ye's shrill voice echoed through the void:

"Aren't you going to make a move? If they escape, can you bear the responsibility?!"

Jiang Baishan and his companion froze, a sense of horror washing over them. Their eyes turned sharply to the jungle ahead.

All that could be heard was the rhythmic sound of footsteps snapping tree branches.

then.

A white-haired young man with a cold expression stepped out and came into their line of sight.
