Chapter 94: Do You Want to Try If The Sword In My Hand Is Sharp?

The two of them had ulterior motives and probed each other.

Everyone present was stunned.

“What are they talking about? Isn’t it just a matter of two taels of silver? Why does it sound like they owe a mountain of gold…”

Xiao Yi thought about it seriously and felt that with his intelligence, it would be difficult for him to understand this question in this lifetime. Just as he was feeling puzzled, a group of people rushed over from afar.

“Young Master…”

From afar, Xiao Yi heard Elder Xu’s concerned voice and hurriedly looked over. He discovered his father’s mighty and domineering figure in front of the team.

“Father, why are you here?”

“Haha, Yi’er, I haven’t seen you for a month and you’ve become much stronger.” Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Yi’s shoulder without restraint and almost made Xiao Yi vomit blood.

Should he be happy or depressed? If you want to praise someone, then praise them. What was the meaning of this slap?

“Perfected Ye…” After greeting Xiao Yi, Xiao Zhan immediately rushed towards Ye Qiu.

On the other hand, Jiang Jiezhi had already returned to Jake-Lake’s team to understand what had happened that night.

Ye Qiu looked at them indifferently and said with a strange expression, “Why are you here?”

“Haha, Perfected One! I just returned home this morning and the clan members told me that you visited the Xiao Clan yesterday and brought Yi’er out of the city. When I learned of this news, I immediately brought all the experts in the clan to find you. I hope I can help you.” Xiao Zhan laughed and explained. Ye Qiu was also very gratified when he heard this.

See. I’ve said it more than once. Little Zhan is a person that was worth knowing. If there’s anything, he will really do it.

See, when he saw that a shocking battle had erupted in the entire Land of Silence and that I needed manpower, he pulled all the experts of his family over without saying a word.

However, these so-called experts were more or less sending themselves to their deaths in front of these four Paragon ferocious beasts. But this was still their good intentions. At the very least, he had already shown his sincerity.

“The situation here is very dangerous. I already understand Patriarch Xiao’s intentions. However, in this battle, everyone below the Cardinal is like an ant. There’s a risk of death with a flick of fingers. There’s no need to help me. If there’s a fight later, remember to stay far away. Who could this child rely on in the future if the Xiao Clan’s foundation was accidentally destroyed?” Ye Qiu said earnestly as he looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Zhan’s heart trembled and his eyes were filled with surprise. Ye Qiu’s words revealed his concern for Xiao Yi. Didn’t that mean that he already had plans to take Xiao Yi as his disciple? He was already planning for his good disciple’s future?

During this period of time, Xiao Zhan had asked around about Ye Qiu. He knew very well that this peak master of Violet Cloud Peak was famous for not hiding anything from his disciples.

The entire Heaven Mending Sect was spreading that being able to enter Violet Cloud Peak was a fate that all disciples had cultivated for three lifetimes.

However, not everyone could enter Violet Cloud Peak to cultivate.

There were only two disciples in the huge peak. It could be seen how strict Ye Qiu’s test of his disciples’ talent and character was.

When he saw how satisfied Yu Qiu was with Xiao Yi, Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but wonder if his son had already passed Ye Qiu’s test. In the beginning, he had let Xiao Yi go up the mountain with this motive. He hoped that one day, he would be able to move Ye Qiu and successfully enter Violet Cloud Peak. From the looks of it, his decision back then was completely correct.

“Haha, Perfected One, don’t worry! Although my clansmen’s cultivation levels aren’t high, they are experts who have been in the Wasteland for many years and have rich combat experience. The problem that Perfected One is worried about will definitely not happen. I still have this bit of confidence.”

Ye Qiu nodded and didn’t question Xiao Zhan’s words. He reminded them again, “In any case, just be careful. This battlefield is very chaotic now. A chaotic battle might erupt at any time. At that time, I might not be able to take care of you.”

After saying that, Ye Qiu turned around and continued watching the battle.

Xiao Yi, who was standing behind him, remained silent. He had heard Ye Qiu’s concern and words of consideration for his future. He was very touched and secretly delighted. He finally made Ye Qiu acknowledge him through his hard work. He experienced a different life after following Ye Qiu for a while.

Compared to the profligate son back then, he enjoyed the feeling of being respected by tens of thousands of people more. He secretly made up his mind. “Senior has such high expectations of me. I definitely can’t disappoint him. I will work hard to cultivate in the future.”

Xiao Yi silently swore and cheered in his heart before revealing a wretched smile. It was as if his determination only lasted for three seconds. He forgot about it in the blink of an eye after making the oath. “Hehe, I want to become an expert too. So that I can brag the best in the future.”

After a while, Jiang Jiezhi walked over with a surprised expression. He seriously sized up Ye Qiu, his eyes filled with shock. He had already learned about what happened yesterday from Han Shengyi. He was very shocked that Ye Qiu could seriously injure the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow with one strike.

“Amazing, amazing! Fellow Daoist’s swordsmanship attainments can be said to be extraordinary. You fought a ferocious Paragon beast as a peak-level Cardinal? Such a thing has never happened in the Great Desolate World. It’s unbelievable.”

Jiang Jiezhi was really shocked. Even Daoist Xuantian back then wasn’t so stunning. What kinds of immortal pills and miraculous medicines did Violet Cloud Peak use to cultivate? Why were they all so fierce?

Back then, Daoist Xuantian was already terrifying enough. He thought that after he died, Violet Cloud Peak would decline. Who would have thought that an even fiercer one would appear?

A Cardinal attacking a Paragon. This was fighting from across realms. How courageous.

Facing Jiang Jiezhi’s praise, Ye Qiu smiled and said humbly, “I was lucky to have succeeded in my sneak attack. Perfected Jiang, please excuse me…”

Jiang Jiezhi wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this.

Humble, too humble. He couldn’t help but praise in his heart. Not only was Ye Qiu powerful, but he wasn’t as arrogant as the other experts. This kind of temperament was even more terrifying. His future achievements would definitely not be inferior to Daoist Xuantian. After thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Jiezhi already had a plan. He had to befriend such a powerful potential stock.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist, you’re too humble! I’ve seen many things in my life, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone like you. It’s not an exaggeration to say that you’re the most stunning in history. You deserve this praise.” Jiang Jiezhi stroked his beard and flattered him again.

At this moment, an inappropriate voice sounded from afar. “Haha, the most stunning in history? Are you kidding yourself?”

The atmosphere instantly froze as soon as these words were spoken.

Ye Qiu glanced over and the space in front of him trembled. A gray-robed old man shuttled over. Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment. He could sense the peak Cardinal aura from this old man.

Tianji Zi teleported over from a few kilometers away. As soon as he arrived, he heard Jiang Jiezhi’s praise for Ye Qiu and retorted sarcastically.

Tianji Zi looked at Ye Qiu teasingly and said coldly, “You’re the new peak master of Violet Cloud Peak, Ye Qiu, right?”

His words did not hide his sharpness and his aura was fully revealed. Many people with low cultivation levels were frightened by this shocking pressure.

“What powerful pressure! Who is this person? His strength is actually so terrifying…”

Xiao Zhan looked at Ye Qiu worriedly. Clearly, he didn’t know Tianji Zi either. After all, this old man had not appeared for a hundred years. The world had only heard of his reputation, but they had never seen him.

“Father, is Senior in danger?” Xiao Yi asked worriedly in a low voice. The other party came aggressively, and the spear was aimed at Ye Qiu. It was obvious that they were coming for him.

Xiao Zhan shook his head. He was only at the Five Realms and was still far from the Cardinal realm. So how could he tell who was stronger? However, although he couldn’t tell, he had absolute confidence in Ye Qiu. Because Ye Qiu had never disappointed them.

The shocking pressure from Tianji Zi instantly formed a huge vortex, and Ye Qiu was in this vortex.

Ye Qiu smiled in his heart. He felt Tianji Zi’s hostility and didn’t intend to hide it.

Interesting. Is he testing me? Ye Qiu gently waved his hand, and in an instant, the peak of the Cardinal realm erupted. He resolved this pressure in just an instant. He didn’t even move.

At this moment, everyone was shocked…

“Peak of the Cardinal realm!”

“This, how is this possible…”

Li Changkong and the others were all stunned. They couldn’t believe it. The last time they met Ye Qiu, he was only an early-stage Cardinal. How did he reach the peak of the Cardinal realm in a month? Could it be that he didn’t use his full strength last time but hid his cultivation realm?

This seemed to be the only possibility now. Even a genius could not break through two minor realms in a row in a month.

Li Daoyuan’s face was pale as he clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, he had already deeply realized the unreachable gap between him and Ye Qiu.

“Peak Cardinal?” Tianji Zi looked deeply at Ye Qiu, a trace of surprise and confusion flashing across his eyes. Ye Qiu was clearly so young, so why had his cultivation already reached this realm?

Although he was surprised, he did not take him seriously. That was because he was a half-step to Paragon. He really did not care about a mere expert who had just entered the peak of the Cardinal realm. However, it could be seen how great this person’s potential was for him to reach the peak of the Cardinal realm at this age.

Tianji Zi’s heart was filled with killing intent. He thought for a moment but did not reveal it.

“You’re so bold. As expected of Perfected Xuantian’s successor, you’re indeed extraordinary and talented…”

Ye Qiu smiled and didn’t say anything. He maintained a calm demeanor, as if the old man in front of him was nothing to him. He was like taking a stroll in a courtyard when he faced that kind of pressure just now, carefree and calm. His demeanor was even better.

Jiang Jiezhi was very shocked when he saw this. He nodded silently, then looked at Tianji Zi and said, “Fellow Daoist Tianji Zi, did you doubt my words just now?”

Tianji Zi frowned and looked deeply at Jiang Jiezhi. The shrewd him could tell at a glance that Jiang Jiezhi, this old fox, was standing on Ye Qiu’s side.

However, he was not afraid. Even if he fought two people alone, he was not afraid. It was just a little risky.

This time, he had come for the mountain treasure. As for Ye Qiu… it wouldn’t be too late to deal with him after he broke through to the Paragon realm. At that time, even Meng Tianzheng would not be his match.

“Haha… Fellow Daoist Jiang, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but this title is too heavy. I’m afraid this Fellow Daoist Ye Qiu won’t be able to bear it.” Tianji Zi concealed the killing intent in his heart, but his words were still filled with sarcasm.

Ye Qiu smiled without saying anything. He had never said that he was the most stunning person in history.

Jiang Jiezhi smiled and said, “If Fellow Daoist doesn’t believe me, why don’t you personally test him to see if I’m lying…”

Tianji Zi glanced at him and continued, “There’s no need for me to try. I’ve already heard about what happened yesterday. That Heaven Swallowing Sparrow had only barely let you succeed after suffering a sneak attack. Such a trick is unpresentable. It’s nothing.” Looking at Ye Qiu, Tian Jizi continued, “Many years ago, I had also experienced Violet Cloud Peak’s sword techniques. I already know their sword techniques like the back of my hand. In terms of sword techniques alone, the Violet Cloud Swordsmanship is indeed not a heaven-defying sword technique. There are countless sword techniques that can compare to it.”

“Oh?” As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qiu’s interest was piqued. He said, “In that case, your swordsmanship was superb ?”

Tianji Zi smiled without saying anything. His expression seemed to have tacitly agreed.

Back then, after he was beaten up by Daoist Xuantian, he went back and specially studied the Violet Cloud Swordsmanship for decades. He had already analyzed its moves and characteristics clearly. He had that confidence.

Unfortunately, he forgot one thing. Although Ye Qiu came from Violet Cloud Peak and was a disciple of Xuantian, he had never learned the inheritance of Violet Cloud Peak.

How could Tianji Zi know all this? He, a master of a peak, actually didn’t even cultivate his own inheritance. How could there be such a thing?

Ye Qiu’s expression gradually became excited. Ever since he had mastered the Cursive Sword Art, he had never met anyone with higher swordsmanship attainments than him.

Tianji Zi’s words constantly revealed his contempt for the Violet Cloud Swordsmanship. So Ye Qiu couldn’t help but be interested.

“Since that’s the case, why don’t you give me some pointers?” As soon as he finished speaking, a shocking sword intent suddenly erupted from Ye Qiu’s body.

In an instant, all the vegetation within a hundred miles moved, and the wind and clouds changed. The sky seemed to have become gloomy.

“What happened?”

Everyone within a hundred miles was instantly shocked when this sword aura erupted. They were extremely puzzled as to who had released this sword intent. Everyone chased after the source of the sword intent.

Soon, the dense crowd had already surrounded this mountain.

“Isn’t this Violet Cloud Peak’s master, Ye Qiu?”

Everyone was shocked when they saw the source of the sword intent.

“What powerful sword intent. This person is indeed skilled in swordsmanship. I didn’t believe it when I heard what happened last night, but now I believe it.”

“Look at this sharp sword intent. It’s unrestrained. If I’m not careful, I’ll be pierced through the heart by the chaotic sword.”

Everyone sighed in their hearts and looked down. When they saw that it was Tianji Zi opposite Ye Qiu, they were even more shocked.

“Heavens, why is Ye Qiu fighting with Tianji Zi?”

“That Tianji Zi is a powerhouse. He rarely walks around in the mortal world in the past hundred years. He’s actually fighting with Ye Qiu the moment he came out.”

“Could it be that these two have some conflict?”

Some were surprised, some were puzzled, and there was a lot of discussion.

“I think so! To be precise, it should be with the previous master of Violet Cloud Peak, Daoist Xuantian.”

Everyone was instantly amused as soon as these words were spoken. It was as if they were watching a good show. They stood at the periphery, looking forward to the eruption of a huge battle.

Tianji Zi suddenly felt a pressure when he faced this shocking sword intent. He was very surprised. Why was Ye Qiu’s sword intent even more terrifying than the feeling Daoist Xuantian gave him back then? Wasn’t he only at the peak of the Cardinal realm?

Moreover, when had the Violet Cloud Swordsmanship comprehended such murderous sword intent? This shouldn’t be the case. Although the Violet Cloud Swordsmanship was considered a famous sword technique, its grade wasn’t considered high.

His Immortal Mountain’s inherited sword technique could crush the Violet Cloud Swordsmanship.

However, why did he have the illusion that the other party’s sword intent far exceeded his imagination and was stronger than any sword technique in the world?

“Sir, draw your sword. Let me experience your so-called profound sword technique.” Ye Qiu had a faint smile on his face as he stared fixedly at Tianji Zi, making him feel afraid.

He regretted it…

He thought about it. The sword intent that Ye Qiu erupted with was really strong. If they really fought, it would be difficult for him to take him down in a short period of time. He had to preserve his strength because the mountain treasure had yet to be obtained. If he fought Ye Qiu to the death, he would probably have no fate with the mountain treasure.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Ye Qiu, what I said just now was just a joke. Why take it seriously? We both came to quell the unrest. Why should we fight among ourselves and damage the harmony between the two factions?”

Ye Qiu didn’t restrain his sword intent. Instead, he smiled mockingly and said, “It’s fine. Since you disdain my Violet Cloud Peak’s sword technique, you must have an even more exquisite sword technique. Why not spar here and now? So that I can experience how exquisite the Immortal Mountain’s inherited sword technique is.”

He slowly gathered his energy between two fingers, and an invisible sword formed in his hand.

Tianji Zi was put on the spot. There were so many people watching, yet Ye Qiu didn’t show him any respect. If he admitted defeat now, wouldn’t he be telling the world that his Immortal Mountain was inferior to the Heaven Mending Sect?

Tianji Zi eyes instantly darkened, and he was furious. Good lad, you asked for it.

Tianji Zi had killing intent hidden in his heart. On the surface, he said politely, “Since Fellow Daoist Ye Qiu has such leisure, how can I refuse?”

“Come on, then.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a supreme-grade spirit sword appeared in Tianji Zi’s hand.

The crowd erupted as soon as this sword appeared.

“Great Void Sword!”

This sword was the Immortal Mountain’s inheritance treasure, a supreme-grade spirit artifact that only the First Elder could wield.

A shocking sword intent instantly erupted as Tianji Zi summoned his sword, colliding violently with Ye Qiu’s sword intent.

“A supreme-grade spirit sword?” Ye Qiu smiled. At this moment, would he scare everyone silly if he drew the Cloudy Heavens Sword? After thinking about it, Ye Qiu decided not to bully him.

The Cloudy Heavens Sword is an immortal sword. It was actually very difficult for Ye Qiu to control it with his current cultivation, but it wasn’t impossible. However, the price was a little high.

Once the Cloudy Heavens Sword was used, it was a sure-kill sword. It only needed one strike to take the opponent’s life. The consequence might be that it would drain Ye Qiu’s spiritual energy.

Ye Qiu didn’t want to waste his spiritual energy on an old man since a battle was imminent. Compared to killing the other party, Ye Qiu had a more interesting way to play.
