At Liang Jiugong's command, several cultivators from the Purple Firmament Palace exchanged glances and immediately unleashed their Divine Ability, attacking Nie Fa and the other Ximu Peak disciples.
It is true that Nie Fa comprehended the Third Level Sword Intent.
He himself hadn't expected to be able to do this.
He felt as if he had done nothing but follow Peak Master Lin's instructions step by step.
He can't do anything.
They only know how to obey.
Honestly, just read from the book.
Peak Master Lin was the only one who knew that he had comprehended the Second Level Sword Intent —second level, not third level.
He broke through in the heat of battle.
In that instant, he seemed to suddenly understand what Peak Master Lin had said. Things he hadn't understood before, things shrouded in mist, all vanished from his mind, revealing their true nature.
Looking down at his hands, which were still trembling slightly, Nie Fa took a deep breath and charged forward.
He knew that breaking through Third Level Sword Intent in the heat of battle and injuring Liang Jiugong was already his limit.
No matter how much more, it's impossible to do it all.
However, every little bit of delay is a good thing...
Clearly, Nie Fa had some misunderstandings about his own strength.
Although the people from the Purple Firmament Palace opposite were all senior disciples, they were all outer disciples, so how strong could they be?
Facing Nie Fa and the other Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect disciples, even though Purple Firmament Palace had more people, Nie Fa managed to fight them to a draw despite being outnumbered.
For a time, the roar was incessant, the sound deafening.
The smell of blood also filled the air.
In the crowd, Senior Sister Yuan gritted her teeth, swallowed a pill, and rushed forward as well.
However, she kept glancing at Nie Fa out of the corner of her eye, and a look of amazement would flash across her eyes repeatedly.
It shocked her so much...
That man, alone with One Sword, fought amidst the crowd, his face grim, holding his own. Even though he sustained minor injuries, he managed to force the severely wounded cultivators from the Purple Firmament Palace to retreat.
Such a disciple...
It's really... a bit of a waste of their talents that they ended up at Ximu Peak.
With so many battle scenes here, a group of people fighting amongst themselves, and more and more people constantly rushing towards this place, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.
The cultivators who gathered from all directions, many of whom were Rogue Cultivator, stared at the scene with astonishment in their eyes.
But after observing for a short while, their gazes were fixed on Nie Fa, and they were all shocked.
"... Oh my god."
"Who exactly said that the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect has declined? Such a genius, holding his own against multiple opponents, is a rare sight anywhere. How can this be considered decline, with no more prodigies?"
" Heavenly Venerable Realm warrior battling Thearch Realm Second Layer —what a fine young man!"
"Hiss... It's a pity that Heavenly Venerable is ultimately just Heavenly Venerable. Judging from his appearance, his Spiritual Power is limited, and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for long."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the hillside, the girl in red peeked out and immediately saw the man below, Sword Qi was faint and whose killing intent was palpable.
His imposing aura was overwhelming, and his longsword pierced through everything, making it almost impossible for the Purple Firmament Palace disciples who were besieging him to get close.
Despite not being of a high level, they have stubbornly persisted until now and have never been defeated.
"This is... a disciple of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect!" Zhang Nianqiu, standing next to Qin Meier, was immediately excited when he saw Nie Fa's sect attire.
Although she was not a disciple of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect, Azure Wave City was under the jurisdiction of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
The cultivators of Azure Wave City held the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect in high esteem and respect.
"Amazing!"
"He's so strong!"
Watching the man raise his sword and bring it down, Zhang Nianqiu felt dizzy and mesmerized, and couldn't help but murmur to herself.
"Are these the disciples of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect? They're incredibly strong..."
Qin Meier and the Qin Household around her were also very alarmed.
They had already successfully reunited on the way here, and now their thoughts were a jumbled mess.
The Fourth Elder of the Qin Household stroked his beard, sighing with regret.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Originally, they thought that the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect had declined, just as outsiders said, barely maintaining its strength. But now it seems that with such a prodigy, how could it possibly have fallen?
As expected of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
Its inherent strengths remain.
Stunning.
"As expected of a top-tier sect, the gap between it and a first-rate sect is truly enormous," Qin Meier sighed.
Zhang Nianqiu, who was standing next to her, suddenly brightened up. She glanced at Lin Xuan, who was dressed in white, and spoke casually.
" Meier, I think this prodigy from the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect is much stronger than all the others you've known before."
"If we could become dao companion, I only hope that you would be with someone like him, and not some ugly, deformed person."
Lin Xuan was not mentioned in a single sentence.
However, her gaze never left Lin Xuan.
However, Lin Xuan didn't pay any attention to what the other person was saying.
He remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on Nie Fa below, more focused than anyone else's.
Zhang Nianqiu rolled her eyes at him from behind, annoyed.
Look, look.
All they do is watch.
No matter how you look at it, he can't become that kind of prodigy.
Seriously.
See? See?
She wanted to see if he could see the difference between herself and others.
Other people only know how to protect their own disciples, while this person only knows how to hide in the back and doesn't even lift a finger. What a waste of such a handsome face.
Nie Fa's Spiritual Power was indeed not much.
As time went by, he began to struggle, and his injuries worsened.
Moreover, he was poor in resources, being just an ordinary disciple of Ximu Peak, with neither treasures nor good healing pills. Even if Liang Jiugong was something else, he was still considered an outer disciple and would have some pills and treasures.
The two are in a state of flux, with one gaining strength while the other loses.
Soon, Liang Jiugong gained the upper hand.
Upon seeing this, Liang Jiugong's eyes revealed a look of wild joy, along with a hint of ruthlessness.
He glanced at Nie Fa, and immediately made up his mind.
We can't let this person go back alive!
The prodigy of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect must die!
However, before he could deliver the fatal blow, a furious roar suddenly echoed from the horizon.
"Enough! All of you, stop right now!!"
The oppressive aura of the Late Saint Realm instantly spread out, suppressing all the disciples present. Whether they were from the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect or Purple Firmament Palace, their expressions changed, and they were forcibly separated.
A figure appeared in the middle.
The appearance of this person caused everyone to change color, staring at him in horror and swallowing hard.
Just from the aura alone, they knew very well that this was definitely not something they could deal with.
He must be an elder of a sect!
Liang Jiugong, whose sword tip was already pointed at Nie Fa's neck, was suddenly stopped, and he was extremely anxious.
However, when he saw who it was, he immediately felt relieved and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Elder Gong!
The newcomer was none other than an elder from the Purple Firmament Palace!
Strength: Late Saint Realm!
However, the elder ignored Liang Jiugong and instead turned to look at Nie Fa, who had a wary expression. After a moment of silence, his eyes revealed a hint of appreciation.
He smiled at Nie Fa, then suddenly spoke.
"Young man, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
