A cold wind brushed against Nie Fa's cheeks and ruffled his hair. He drew his sword amidst the wind, the tip of the sword remaining still, pointing at Liang Jiugong of the Purple Firmament Palace opposite him.
The aura of the Heavenly Venerable Realm was quite evident.
This caused Liang Jiugong to remain silent for a moment, then he actually forced a laugh out of anger.
What exactly could it be that gave a cultivator at the Heavenly Venerable Realm the courage to challenge him?
Although he and that woman were both at the Thearch Realm Second Layer.
However, it should be noted that there are differences between the Thearch Realm Second Layer.
Although he was only the senior disciple of the Eighth Palace palaces of the Purple Firmament Palace, he was by no means someone that ordinary people could challenge.
"You want to die? Then I'll grant your wish!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Liang Jiugong narrowed his eyes slightly, drew his sword without hesitation, and charged forward.
He was also a sword cultivator.
Purple Firmament Palace is home to many sword cultivators.
Liang Jiugong believed that his talent in Swordsmanship was quite remarkable.
Moreover, there is a world of difference between his cultivation level and this kid's.
Thearch Realm Second Layer fights Heavenly Venerable.
He didn't even know how he could lose.
Apart from him, almost everyone else thought the same way.
This person is clearly a top disciple of the outer sect of the Purple Firmament Palace —disciples of the Purple Firmament Palace are easy to identify; outer sect disciples all wear blue, while inner sect disciples wear purple.
The darker the color, the higher the other person's position within the Purple Firmament Palace.
For example, the servant disciples wore light blue.
The ordinary disciple is Tian Lan.
The best among the outer gates is lake blue.
Like Liang Jiugong, the senior disciple of the outer sect is considered one of the best among those who have mastered the skills, and his attire is dark blue.
But Nie Fa?
He was mediocre in talent, ability, and skill; apart from being somewhat good-looking, he was utterly useless.
The disciples of Ximu Peak felt a chill in their hearts as they looked at the disparity in strength between the two sides.
They had only one thought in their minds.
It's over.
Nie Fa is doomed.
The lingering clouds on the horizon were shrouded in rosy light, the scattered rays ruffled by the wind, leaving only a few orange-red hues reflected on the earth.
However, extremely bright light refracted from the ground, piercing through the clouds and dazzling everyone's eyes.
That was the Sword-Ray.
The moment they clashed, Liang Jiugong's eyes narrowed, a hint of disbelief flashing in his long, narrow eyes.
He didn't take that One Sword strike seriously.
A mere Celestial Heavenly Venerable... could be killed with a flick of the wrist.
Why use all your strength?
Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
However, he forgot one sentence, or rather, one thing.
Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
His negligence gave Nie Fa his opportunity.
The Sword Intent surged in an instant, and the triple Sword Intent crashed down, turning into shattered Sword-Ray, which surged towards Liang Jiugong like stars.
boom!!
The moment the explosion occurred, the sharp edge, like a knife, sliced towards Liang Jiugong, piercing through his robes and embedding itself in his flesh. It not only blasted away his protective Spiritual Power but also shattered his pride.
Along with his pride, his body, pierced by Sword Intent, fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
"You...?!"
Liang Jiugong was both shocked and furious.
He scrambled to his feet, the blood at the corner of his mouth a glaring sight.
Noticing the way everyone was looking at him, he subconsciously wiped the corner of his lips.
The blood on his thumb directly stimulated his nerves.
He only heard a sound as if a string in his mind had snapped.
shame.
Utter disgrace!
How could he possibly be injured?
How could I possibly lose to a Heavenly Venerable Realm cultivator?
but...
That's Sword Intent!
Beyond one's own Sword Intent!
The other person doesn't look very old...
A flurry of thoughts flashed through Liang Jiugong's mind. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he understood immediately. Spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva, he glared at Nie Fa with hatred and cursed, "Despicable!"
"Is one of the rising stars of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect's Three Sword Peaks also hiding and engaging in despicable acts?"
"Utterly shameless!"
This is the only explanation.
If the other person isn't a newcomer this year, but a prodigy who joined one of the top three sword-wielding teams, how do you explain their talent?
He looked at the other stunned Ximu Peak disciples, his hatred intensifying, and directly cursed, "Truly despicable! What are you still pretending for?"
This person said he was no match for him.
That person said his talent was average.
This kid himself keeps saying that he's mediocre.
In the end, it was all an act, a self-deception!
What a despicable and shameless Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect!
"Since your Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect disciples are such good actors, why don't you go to the mortal world and build a stage for your plays?"
"Shameless!"
Liang Jiugong was so angry that he broke down.
The contempt in his eyes when he looked at Nie Fa was gone.
One Sword strike was enough to injure him; what else could he be but a prodigy?
Such a prodigy, yet he pretends to be weak and deceives himself... How utterly shameless and despicable!
The disciples of Ximu Peak were completely bewildered by his constant insults, calling him shameless and despicable.
They had no idea what Liang Jiugong was talking about...
Or rather, what is this person imagining...?
However, what puzzled them the most was not Liang Jiugong, but Nie Fa.
They were even somewhat bewildered.
Is this... still Nie Fa?
If so, how could he possibly possess Sword Intent?
We all started on the same day, and during the aptitude test, we saw with our own eyes that our aptitudes were all roughly the same...
Nie Fa's aptitude was, to everyone's surprise, quite poor.
he...
When did he cultivate his Sword Intent?
Within the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect, those who can cultivate Sword Intent within three years of entering the sect are all exceptionally talented. What about Nie Fa?
It's only been a few months?
Almost half a year...
Half a year.
Most of them lived and ate together.
How could they not know that Nie Fa had unleashed his Sword Intent?
Moreover, it wasn't even the First Layer Sword Intent.
That is, Third Level Sword Intent!
Triple!
If Nie Fa had such talent, he could indeed have gone to the Upper Six Peaks.
Senior Sister Yuan was even more stunned, staring wide-eyed at Nie Fa.
She didn't actually know Nie Fa.
It was only during these past two days in the secret realm that I learned what the other person's name was.
There is only one understanding of Nie Fa:
The newly recruited, extremely poor-quality disciples of Ximu Peak.
But now, to tell her that this disciple, whom she's taken for granted, Heavenly Venerable Realm with Third Level Sword Intent?
Isn't this a natural-born swordsman?
Is it even their turn, Ximu Peak?
Or did the other party deliberately hold back during the test?
Before she could dwell on it any longer, Senior Sister Yuan shook her head, banishing the thoughts from her mind.
How could that be!
Who would hide their talents and retreat to a peak that's on the verge of collapse?
Why go through all that trouble just to eat something you're not really interested in?
so...
What merit or talent did Ximu Peak possess to have such a prodigy?
Liang Jiugong no longer believed the performance of the Ximu Peak group.
In his mind, he raised Nie Fa's threat level to the highest, gritted his teeth, and roared.
"If you are heartless, don't blame me for being unjust."
He waved his hand towards the crowd behind him.
"Superior!"
Kill them all!
