Chapter 9

Second Strike!

Not long after, a red-robed figure walked out with his sword and steadily landed on the platform in the middle.

“Xin Hongyi of the Sword Hall, where are the people from the Cottage? Come up and fight!”

Not far away, Lu Changsheng could not help but be stunned. “Did Qiu Bai provoke this girl? Why did she ask him to go up?”

The Sword Hall Elder’s face darkened when he heard this. He said angrily, “To be precise, you provoked her.”

“Huh?”

Lu Changsheng pointed at himself and said in confusion, “No, I haven’t even touched a woman’s hand until now. How did I provoke her?”

The Martial Hall Elder covered his face and said angrily, “Previously, when we were taking in disciples, it was this Xin Hongyi who specifically wanted to join your Cottage. In the end, you sent her away just like that.”

“The key is that you took in a disciple at that time, so she definitely wanted to prove that she was stronger than Ye Qiubai.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was strange.

The others naturally recognized Xin Hongyi.

“She was the one who was rejected by the Cottage back then, right?”

“That’s why you want to challenge Ye Qiubai, a Cottage disciple?”

“However, this Xin Hongyi is also very strong. Her previous results on the martial arts arena are even better than Ye Qiubai’s.”

When Ye Qiubai heard the surrounding words, he understood.

He picked up a wooden sword.

He jumped up.

Xin Hongyi raised her eyebrows when she saw this. She looked at the wooden sword in Ye Qiubai’s hand and was a little unhappy. “Why? Are you looking down on me by using the wooden sword?”

Ye Qiubai said calmly, “Master said that with a sword in your heart, a leaf and a tree can be used as a sword.”

The elder of the Sword Hall looked at Lu Changsheng with a complicated gaze and said, “It seems that your Sword Dao realm is quite deep.”

“Huh?”

Lu Changsheng scratched his head and thought carefully.

‘I said that before?’

On the stage.

Xin Hongyi muttered, “With a sword in my heart, everything can be a sword…”

At this point, Xin Hongyi put away the Black Grade sword in her hand and similarly took out an ordinary iron sword that did not emit any aura. She said, “Alright, I won’t take advantage of you. Take out your sword.”

The two of them were in the same realm, at the peak of the Golden Core Pill realm.

However, Xin Hongyi was very conceited. She wanted to crush him and did not want to use any external objects to defeat Ye Qiubai.

Only then could he prove it to Lu Changsheng.

It was such a wrong choice not to choose her back then.

Thinking of this, Xin Hongyi even looked at Lu Changsheng provocatively.

Ye Qiubai shrugged and took a few steps. Cracks appeared on the ground at this moment and surged out!

Xin Hongyi’s gaze froze as the iron sword in her hand stabbed out diagonally. The iron sword actually emitted flames at this moment!

The flames burned, distorting space as it slashed at Ye Qiubai!

Ye Qiubai’s expression was calm. He held the wooden sword with both hands and slashed at the fire whip!

Wisps of black aura actually appeared on the wooden sword!

It was filled with demonic nature, as if it wanted the heavens to submit!

“Eh, the Nine Heavenly Demon Sword?”

Below, a bearded man touched his chin and chuckled. “Interesting. He actually repaired that incomplete scroll.”

Another man holding the Feather Fan walked over. “You’re quite bold. This Nine Heavenly Demon Sword will getting harder and harder towards the end, let alone an incomplete manual.”

When the surrounding people saw the two of them, they could not help but exclaim.

“Martial Hall’s Huo Qingming! Array Hall’s Lin Ce!”

“The two of them are the top figures of each hall now!”

“Both of them are at the middle-stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, but they have the strength to kill peak-stage Purple Mansion Realm experts!”

After the Golden Core Realm was the Purple Mansion.

At this moment, a man walked to Huo Qingming’s side and whispered, “Big Brother Huo, that person is the Ye Qiubai I told you about.”

‘Oh?’

Huo Qingming touched his chin and glanced at the man. He smiled inexplicably. “Ye Yan, are you sure you want me to cripple him? No matter what, he’s still a member of your Ye family. He’s your cousin, right?”

Ye Yan’s eyes were fierce as he said fiercely, “He has to be destroyed!”

“Sure.”

Huo Qingming sighed secretly and said, “I owe your Ye family a favor back then. I’ll return it to you now.”

Ye Yan stared at Ye Qiubai above and sneered. “Even though I really want to deal with you myself, you should feel honored to let Huo Qingming be your opponent just to be safe.”

On the high platform.

Ye Qiubai’s wooden sword had already slashed at the fire whip!

The flaming sword light did not burn the wooden sword. Instead, it began to tremble violently, as if it was about to be dispelled!

“Nine Heavenly Demon Sword?”

Xin Hongyi was shocked. The iron sword in her hand began to tremble crazily, and even her mind began to tremble!

The reason was that the demonic aura emitted by Ye Qiubai seemed to want to suppress everything!

This was also the terrifying aspect of the Nine Heavenly Demon Sword.

Not only could it slash through all things, but it could also make the other party submit in terms of might!

Xin Hongyi immediately stabilized her mind. She gritted her teeth and slashed out with the iron sword in her hand again.

The flaming sword light suddenly intensified, and the entire platform seemed to have begun to burn!

The elder of the Sword Hall commented, “Xin Hongyi’s flame sword energy is unique to the family’s cultivation technique. It can burn everything and is extremely domineering.

I wonder how far Ye Qiubai’s Nine Heavenly Demon Sword has been cultivated and how many moves he can use?”

After saying that, he looked at Lu Changsheng, clearly asking.

Lu Changsheng lay on the chair with his eyes closed and replied casually, “I’ve only practiced for two days.”

“Then I’m afraid… he’s no match for Xin Hongyi’s Fire Sword Qi.”

One had to know that the Sword Hall Elder had also cultivated this Nine Heavenly Demon Sword.

It took him a month to master the first move and another few years to vaguely touch the threshold of the third sword move.

Ye Qiubai’s gaze froze when he saw the sword energy that was emitting flames.

“The second strike…”

Suddenly, a power that made people submit emitted from Ye Qiubai’s body!

The demonic qi intensified!

Xin Hongyi’s expression changed drastically.

It was as if the person in front of him was not Ye Qiubai, but a heaven-defying demon!

He looked down on the world!

“Second strike!”

The Sword Hall Elder suddenly stood up!

It had only been two days!

Xin Hongyi gritted her teeth. She knew that her current methods were no match for Ye Qiubai’s sword.

He could not resist.

Thinking of this, Xin Hongyi bit her finger and drops of blood essence seeped out.

At the same time, he put away the iron sword and took out the Mystic-Tier sword!

Then, it suddenly smeared on the body of the sword!

“Blood Sacrifice Sword!”

Xin Hongyi’s face immediately turned pale. However, the increasingly condensed fire sword energy turned her pale face blood-red!

He slashed out with his sword!

It collided with Ye Qiubai’s wooden sword that emitted dark demonic energy!

Pfft!

The moment they came into contact, Xin Hongyi spat out a mouthful of blood essence!

The fire sword qi actually dissipated in front of the dark demonic qi.

They were completely defeated!

At this moment, Xin Hongyi was also sent flying and fell to the ground, her hands covered in blood.

Even the sword in his hand was trembling. Clearly, she no longer had any combat strength.

Ye Qiubai put away his sword with an indifferent expression. He was not surprised at all.

“Thank you for letting me win.”
