Jing Yuan led Xie Feng to a secluded valley, surrounded by mountains and extremely quiet.
Across the valley stands a dark cliff, towering majestically into the sky, with white streaks on its surface, imbued with mysterious principles.
Jing Yuan put one hand behind his back, pointed at the cliff, and said, "Use your sword to cleave it!"
Xie Feng gripped the Cherished Wine Cup Sword and slashed horizontally. The sword's momentum was fierce, and it struck the dark and mysterious cliff. The sword light burst forth, but the cliff remained completely unharmed!
Xie Feng frowned. "What is this?"
This place is quite extraordinary!
Even a holy sword cannot leave a mark on it!
Jing Yuan said, "This is the Trace-Leaving Cliff, made of a very special material. Many swordsmen once debated swordsmanship here, leaving behind Dao Sword for later generations to study."
Xie Feng nodded. He stared intently, his gaze sweeping Trace-Leaving Cliff bore the weight of a bygone era, a time of turbulent times and tales of chivalry and revenge.
Jing Yuan said, "You stay here and meditate until you can leave a sword mark. I'll come back tomorrow! After all, you won't be able to do it in less than three to five days!"
Xie Feng withdrew his gaze from the cliff and said calmly, "No need, I've already learned a lot."
As he spoke...
He swung his sword forward.
The sword's momentum was incomparably fierce, even more vast and sharp than before!
laugh!
A long white trail appeared on the cliff.
A single sword strike leaves a mark!
Jing Yuan: "..."
The slap in the face came so quickly...
This guy is amazing!
She had taught many disciples, Jun Ran was her favorite student. However, even for Jun Ran, it took him a full half day to leave a mark with a single sword strike!
Xie Feng sheathed his sword and looked at her calmly.
Jing Yuan remained silent for a moment, then said, "You have a great talent for learning. The fact that you can leave sword marks means you've taken the first step into the Supreme Sword; you've already entered the realm of it."
Xie Feng smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
"Hmph, you've only just entered the realm of swordsmanship. Pride breeds arrogance!" Jing Yuan glared at him and said fiercely, "You still have a long way to go in swordsmanship!"
Xie Feng: "..."
Is the nun going through menopause?
So fierce...
That's enough!
For my master's sake, I won't hold it against her.
after all...
A good man doesn't argue with a woman, right?
"Fight? Heh, with your current strength, you can't beat me!" Jing Yuan sneered, his face showing contempt.
Xie Feng: "..."
This person can read minds!
He used to be the one listening to other people's thoughts, but now the tables have turned?!
Is this what a true master looks like?
good!
I'll endure it!
"Just be patient. Don't have any wild thoughts in front of me!"
Jing Yuan snorted coldly. She suddenly clenched her fist, stared at Xie Feng, and questioned him with exasperation, "You have good aptitude, and you must have had many fortuitous opportunity along the way, but... why are you only Saint? Why are you so useless!"
Xie Feng was taken aback.
He? Saint? Incompetent?
This is the first person to openly look down on him!
Jing Yuan angrily asked, "How long have you been in the Upper Realm? How old are you?"
"Two years, twenty-six years old."
" The Chaos Sacred Body shouldn't be this weak! Hmph, it's because your master didn't teach you properly! Is this guy going to ruin a promising talent?"
Jing Yuan grew increasingly furious as she spoke, and she roared, "Boy, from now on, you stay here, and I'll teach you swordsmanship!"
Xie Feng couldn't interfere in her complaints about her master, as it was a matter between the "couple," and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
He nodded and said, "Okay!" only after hearing the last sentence.
Jing Yuan got angry again. "Can't you be more respectful? Do I owe you something?"
Xie Feng was stunned. He blinked in confusion and said, "How about... I kowtow to you?"
"Need not!"
Jing Yuan angrily flung his sleeve and turned to leave.
Xie Feng said, "Um... didn't you say you were going to teach me swordsmanship?"
Jing Yuan waved his hand. "It's my lunch break now. I'll come back in an hour. You can play by yourself!"
Having said that, he strode away and quickly disappeared into the distance at the end of the valley.
Xie Feng was speechless. He had never seen such a capricious person before. Someone with a weaker mentality might have broken down!
Sudden...
He then understood why his master had left...
That's a fickle tigress!
Xie Feng only dared to think such things; if he were to say them aloud, he would probably get beaten up again...
He adjusted his mood and continued to gaze at Trace-Leaving Cliff, pondering the Sword Intent more deeply.
Second Sequence.
Holy Demon Heaven.
The northern region is a vast expanse of ice and snow.
Black cities stood in rows, suspended above black flames, with green ghost fire burning above them, and the land stretched endlessly.
Demonic Sect!
The deepest part is where the imperial capital Mara City, is located.
The palaces were imposing and the atmosphere was serene.
One of the Great Devil King, the green-robed man Ming Cangyan, stood in the main hall with his hands behind his back, his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, deep in thought.
Several members of the Demonic Sect stood nearby, all with uneasy expressions.
Just now, my subordinate told Ming Cangyan some bad news: the four elders of the Demonic Sect were killed by Li Fuyou while intercepting the Xuanji Sect!
"I originally thought the elders could handle the matter of the Black Demon and the Crimson Demon being killed, but even after the four elders were dispatched, they all lost their lives!"
"Ah, I am truly speechless. Normally, such matters could be left to the Demon Lord and the elders, but now it seems that the situation is even more serious."
"Whether it's because of Xie Feng or the Seven Stars Domain, hmph, birds of a feather! The Demonic Sect's principle is to never let any enemy go, no matter if their name is Xuanji Sect or Seven Stars Domain!"
Ming Cangyan's eyes were deep and cold as he spoke.
"Oh dear, Lord Ming, what's wrong? Why are you so angry? Please calm down."
Suddenly, a person walked in from outside, smiling broadly.
His face was calm, his cheeks were adorned with bluish-green scales, making him look mysterious and eerie, and he had two domineering, dark blue horns on his head.
He wore a silver-blue robe, his hands behind his back, his narrow eyes squinted, his hair flowing, and his blue cloak fluttering behind him as he moved.
He walked over, chin held high with arrogance, like a god looking down on mortals.
He radiated a dazzling light.
The subordinates on both sides hurriedly raised their arms, afraid of being blinded by the light.
He walked over, stood in the center of the hall, put his hands on his hips, and struck a steadfast pose.
One of the Great Devil King, Yan Xu!
Ming Cangyan: "..."
MD!
After all these years, this guy is still as pretentious as ever...
Ming Cangyan moved his lips. " Elder Li and the other three were killed by Li Fuyou of the Seven Stars Domain, and the Seven Stars Domain declared that harming Xie Feng was tantamount to declaring war on them! This is blatant provocation and contempt! My Demonic Sect will not let this go!"
Yan Xu Xu's eyes darted around, and he turned his head slightly, looking up at the main hall at a 45-degree angle. He said with a noble and aloof air, "Before I returned to Mara City, I discovered that Jun Ran of the Green Duckweed Manor had secretly gone to the Purple Tenuity Palace alone! That's Madam Wenqu's palace. What they're planning to do is quite significant."
Ming Cangyan frowned. "Just who is this Xie Feng? Why does the Seven Stars Domain value him so much? Is it merely because he won first place in the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly? Perhaps that's not enough? Or is it because he has a connection with Meng Wuqu, which is why the Seven Stars Domain is protecting him?"
