Seven Killings Sword Lin Ping'an
hiss...
The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and many people instinctively gasped before looking in the direction from which the sound came.
I wanted to see which fearless guy dared to provoke Senior Brother Cao on such a joyous day.
You should know that Senior Brother Cao is notoriously domineering. He is usually kind and gentle to his fellow disciples, but those who become his opponents suffer particularly tragic ends.
From the crowd, a young man holding a long sword was slowly walking towards the platform.
The young man was dressed in the attire of a deacon from the Dao-Seeking Academy.
He didn't walk fast, but with each step, his murderous aura intensified, and the path he walked was unknowingly filled with it.
In everyone's eyes, this man had emerged from a mountain of corpses Blood Sea.
"Lin Ping'an!"
"He is Senior Brother Lin Ping'an. I never expected that after disappearing for more than ten years, he would return and become so terrifying. Where on earth did he go?"
"..."
The exclamations and murmurs around him did not affect Lin Ping'an, who had been cultivating in the Land of Slaughter of the Profound Heaven Continent for many years.
He had already mastered the Seven Killings Sword Art to perfection and had become the chief deacon of the Dao-Seeking Academy in the Land of Slaughter.
The elders of the Dao-Seeking Academy in the Land of Slaughter are even keen to groom Lin Ping'an as their successor.
Lin Ping'an originally had no intention of returning to the Dao-Seeking Academy Dao-Seeking Academy; he wanted to wait until he was qualified to compete for the position of Holy Son before returning.
Having lost to Cao Youqian last time, he knew that if he wanted to kill this guy, he not only had to defeat him, but also suppress all the geniuses of the Dao-Seeking Academy.
This included Xiao Chen Xiao Chen, whom he considered the only one qualified to be his opponent.
Over the years, he had vaguely heard rumors about Xiao Chen in the Land of Slaughter — the Invincible Sword. Just that title alone gave Lin Ping'an an urge to challenge him.
To his surprise, Cao Youqian actually became the Holy Son.
This made Lin Ping'an intolerable. What qualifications did that playboy have to become the Holy Son? In this battle, he wanted to bring down that playboy and let the world know his name.
The cultivators who came to observe the ceremony had very strange expressions when they heard the name Lin Ping'an.
Someone murmured subconsciously, "He is the Seven Killings Sword, the most ferocious sword in the Dao-Seeking Academy. It is said that everyone who has witnessed his seventh sword strike has died."
"I never expected that the Dao-Seeking Academy would have such a prodigy besides Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian."
"Indeed, although his reputation is somewhat intimidating, his strength is truly top-notch."
On the high platform.
Chu Feng looked at the young man in front of him, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly. "This kid really holds a grudge."
"Master, do you know this fierce-looking fellow?"
Chen Qianqian asked curiously.
"I know him. Back in the day, your Senior Brother Cao suffered a loss at his hands. You could say that without this guy, you wouldn't see the Daqian as it is today."
When Chu Feng talked about this, his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to more than a decade ago.
Standing behind him, Ye Beixuan frowned slightly as he looked at Lin Ping'an, thinking to himself: He's actually still alive. I almost forgot about this guy in this life. It seems that this guy was the one who crippled my second senior brother in my previous life.
Moreover, he had competed with me for the position of Holy Son, but unfortunately, he was too bloodthirsty and lost to me.
In this life, he has no chance.
Tap, tap, tap...
Lin Ping'an walked step by step toward the platform, and no one from the other higher-ups of the Dao-Seeking Academy inclined to stop him.
His gaze remained fixed on Cao Youqian; if looks could kill, Cao Youqian would already be a victim of his sword.
Cao Youqian looked at the guy in front of him with a confused expression.
Xiao Chen, who was standing to the side, said, "Junior brother, I'll leave this to you."
He didn't remember the fierce-looking guy in front of him, but Xiao Chen wasn't worried at all that Cao Youqian would lose. No matter how monstrous a junior in the Spirit Nurturing Realm was, he couldn't possibly be a match for the Daqian.
"Good."
Cao Youqian thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out where this guy in front of him came from, so he simply gave up trying to think about it.
After Lin Ping'an walked onto the platform, he stopped and looked at Cao Youqian, asking, "Do you still remember me?"
Even though Cao Youqian is Dao Integration cultivator, he still shows no fear in his movements. In the Land of Slaughter, he has killed countless Dao Integration cultivators, and he is now only one step away from achieving Dao Integration.
Moreover, his Seven Kills Sword Intent was only half a step away from perfection. Today, he would use Cao Youqian's head to help him achieve perfection in the Seven Killings Sword Intent!
Cao Youqian tilted his head and asked, "Why should I remember you?"
This was an arrogant statement, but coming from Cao Youqian, the audience didn't find anything wrong with it.
That's how the Unrivaled Tyrant Fist should be; aside from the Invincible Sword, he wouldn't take any of his peers seriously.
"You!!!"
Lin Ping'an's tone unconsciously rose a few octaves, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified.
"It seems that even after all these years, you still haven't learned your lesson. Do you still remember that outer disciple you humiliated twice and who stole your fiancée?"
The words immediately sparked a gossip-filled look on everyone's faces, their expressions filled with anticipation.
They never expected that attending the Holy Son Ceremony would lead them to hear such explosive news.
"Don't talk nonsense, kid. My fiancée is a disciple of the Cloud Mist Sect, not an outer disciple of the Dao-Seeking Academy at all."
Cao Youqian said with a serious expression.
"Snort!"
Lin Ping'an snorted coldly, "As expected, someone like you will never learn. Today, I'll help you remember!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his aura burst forth, and a soaring killing intent enveloped the entire arena.
Cao Youqian stood motionless, saying with interest, "You have some strength, but that's all you've got. You're not qualified to challenge me."
These words were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
Lin Ping'an was furious. He suddenly drew his sword and slashed down at Cao Youqian in front of him.
"Know Not Lovesickness!"
With a single sword strike, dark clouds gathered in the sky, their crimson hues staining the heavens and earth blood-red under the sunlight!
Behind the blood-red sword light, the Sword Intent contained within vaguely revealed the shadow of a killing sword.
"Seven Killings Sword Art!"
An elder from the Dao-Seeking Academy couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing this sword strike.
A murmur of discussion arose from the surrounding area.
"His Perfection of Sword Intent; Lin Ping'an truly lives up to his title as the chief steward of the Land of Slaughter."
"What a pity, he insisted on challenging Cao Youqian."
"..."
Seeing this, Cao Youqian crossed his arms in front of him, showing no intention of making a move, and let the sword fall on his body.
Rumble.
With a deafening roar, dust billowed up from the arena...
