Chapter 298: Don't Think About Showing Off in Front of Me!

"Yun Xiao is back?" Excitement surged among the students as they turned their gazes towards the Flying Crane Hall.

BOOM! A young man in white, wielding the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, emerged in pursuit! Amidst the swirling death fog, his white clothes remained immaculately pure, his handsome face clean and ethereal, a perfect fusion of death and sanctity!

"He's stronger!" the folks from the Grand Temple exclaimed, visibly stunned.

"Yun Xiao!" Fu Longxiang bellowed, rising furiously despite spitting blood. His eyes turned a fierce red, resembling a wild beast as he glared at the young man in white. Sword in one hand, sigil in the other, a more potent divine might surged forth.

"How about it?" Yun Xiao landed gracefully, raising an eyebrow at this top talent of the Nine Hells. Indeed, he was a worthy opponent.

"The battle is not yet decided!" Fu Longxiang, who had never lost a fight among his peers, still held high aspirations! He couldn't bear the adoring gazes that everyone bestowed upon Yun Xiao.

This white-clad youth was so flawless that Fu Longxiang couldn't even find an angle to scorn him. It was a humbling perfection!

For the ever-arrogant Fu Longxiang, this was an inner defeat! He always considered himself the most perfect prodigy in the universe, born of high lineage, a master of both sword and sigil, revered and admired by all since childhood!

But today, in this world hidden between the folds of the Nine Hells, everyone looked at him with mocking eyes, as if he were merely a laughable backdrop!

How could he bear such a fall from grace?

Losing to the black-scaled beast was one thing, but losing to a peer, especially with the Calamity Seal Sword in hand, was unbearable!

"Die!!" When Fu Longxiang roared this, it signified his mental imbalance. His power might have increased, but his spirit had fractured. It was the despair of being overshadowed by a superior talent!

With a determined look, he turned and charged towards Yun Xiao! As he made his move, it was a dual assault of sword and sigil again!This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

BUZZ! From his left hand, a daoist spell named Dark Torrent burst forth from the Myriad Manifestations Sigil.

ROAR! In that instant, his dazzling sigil darkened, the colorful light turned to black, transforming the entire Life Sigil into a malevolent, sky-piercing torrent of darkness. It swept towards Yun Xiao and even aimed at the students of the Grand Temple behind him!

Clearly, this move was vicious! Yun Xiao had to intercept this attack to protect his own people. Otherwise, if this spell hit the crowd, with Fu Longxiang's strength, it could annihilate half of the Grand Temple in one strike!

Meanwhile, Fu Longxiang's right hand wielded the Calamity Seal Sword, slashing towards Yun Xiao!

Withered Spirit Sword Canon, Nirvana Lotus!

Similar to Rootless Grass, this Palm Sword Technique also embodied the power of death and destruction. Fu Longxiang harnessed the power of the Calamity Seal Sword to create a grim flower of hell in the air, looming over Yun Xiao's head!

BOOM! The divine might of the Calamity Seal Sword was clearly stronger when wielded in his hand! This was no longer just a weapon, but a ferocious demon with inherent lethality!

"So this is the dual cultivation of sword and sigil, huh?" From start to finish, Yun Xiao's expression remained cold, as if watching an ant perform. "The sigil is real, but the sword is fake."

Under the onslaught of Dark Torrent and Nirvana Flower, Yun Xiao stood with his hair flying and his white robe billowing.

Even in such peril, his name echoed throughout the Grand Temple, followed by countless fervent and admiring gazes... they didn't even flinch, such was their confidence in Yun Xiao!

Mockery? Nonexistent! In the eyes of the cultivators from the Divine Continent, Yun Xiao was akin to a divine being!

Yun Xiao coldly eyed Fu Longxiang, also moving both hands.

BUZZ! He flicked his left hand, and a massive dark vortex appeared right in front of Fu Longxiang! The vortex, like a gaping maw of darkness, instantly swallowed the Dark Torrent whole!

"What is this?" Fu Longxiang cried out, panic surging in his heart.

Yun Xiao's daoist spell was a fusion of the Wuji Dao Art, the Divine Sky Sword, and even Fu Longxiang's own Dark Torrent...

Dark Torrent was a daoist spell of the Calamity Seal Purgatory. How could an Exiled Sword Immortal from the Sword Ruins know it? Who taught him? Baffled by this question, Fu Longxiang's mind spiraled into chaos. As his spirit wavered, he staked everything on the Calamity Seal Sword.

"The Calamity Seal Sword can shatter any Sword Soul!" Fu Longxiang cried out. This was the pride of every Inscription Cultivator and their mockery of Sword Cultivators!

Fu Longxiang gripped the sword with both hands, augmenting it with his Myriad Manifestations Sigil. The sword and sigil united, amplifying the lethal power of the Withered Spirit Sword Canon, Nirvana Lotus! His resolve reached its zenith!

Facing him, Yun Xiao's indifference also peaked. "A heart without a sword, merely its form. Relying on divine weapons, what kind of Sword Cultivator are you?"

Without staking one's life in battle, one could never possess the spirit of a true swordsman! No risk, no Sword Cultivator!

Confronting the Calamity Seal Sword's suppression, Yun Xiao merely smiled coldly, raising his hand to unleash a sword strike, a storm of death sweeping forth!

RUMBLE! Centered around the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, a deathly Nirvana Lotus, composed of seven Sword Rings and myriad layers of Sword Aura, descended!

"The supreme treasure of the Calamity Seal Purgatory?" Yun Xiao chuckled and tucked it away. Though he didn't think much of it, it was still a treasure that would make anyone happy.

"Yun Xiao!" The next moment, a tsunami of cheers washed over him!

All around, he was met with eyes full of admiration.

"So dreamy! Big Brother Yun, lemme bear your pups!" a gruff voice rang among the crowd.

Yun Xiao turned to look, and he saw a burly youth with tan skin grinning stupidly at him. "God dammit, Stray Dog! You're even cringier than Zhao Xiaotang!"

"Ha ha!" Tens of thousands of students and teachers from the Grand Temple burst into laughter. Even their laughter couldn't hide their admiration for Yun Xiao.

Meanwhile, Nangong Xi, You Yue, and Su Lianlian had already joined him. Their eyes were filled with warm tears.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy the problem's solved?" Yun Xiao asked.

"Naughty boy, next time something like this happens, don't wait for the perfect moment to show up. It's too scary, you know?" Su Lianlian chided.

"I can't do that. Choosing the right moment to enter is a man's instinct," Yun Xiao said with a smile.

"Man? You're just 16 years old, you little punk. You sure know a lot of tricks!" Su Lianlian scoffed.

Despite their complaints and scorn, they were actually thrilled for Yun Xiao.

"Why didn't you kill him?" Nangong Xi asked softly.

"No rush, he still has some use." Yun Xiao looked towards the Demon Continent and chuckled.

Devils and Inscription Cultivators thinking of joining forces? It was wishful thinking!

"Yun Xiao, his backing is powerful, isn't it? Won't it cause trouble for you?" You Yue asked with concern.

"I'm the one who caused trouble for everyone," Yun Xiao paused, then said earnestly, "But don't worry, there won't be anything like this again."

"Okay."

Hearing this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's keep it under wraps too. Seal today's events within the Grand Temple and forbid any gossip," Nangong Xi suggested with care.

"Alright." Yun Xiao nodded. "I'll get to my tasks then. In a couple of days, when I'm free, I'll take you three to the Eternal Sword Prison and Sword Ruins. Let's try to bring the Sword Ruins' heritage here."

"The heritage of the Sword Ruins?" Su Lianlian scoffed, "It's not going to involve harming girls, is it?"

"Definitely not," Yun Xiao assured earnestly. "If it's mutual love, that's fine. But if anyone dares to coerce the people of the Divine Continent, they're signing their own death warrant."

This matter would require their coordination. Their talents were commendable, and Yun Xiao planned to make them even stronger.

With Mu Dalong's help, Yun Xiao wouldn't have to worry too much.

His idea was: now that the pathways were open, rather than being passive, why not actively embrace the greater world? Connecting the Sword Ruins, Heavenly Realm, Sea of Swords, and Azure Spirit into one, forming a ladder of growth for Sword Cultivators!

This way, everyone had a chance!

"I'm off," Yun Xiao said.

Knowing he would return, the three women didn't make a fuss and watched him leave, lost in their thoughts for a long time.

"What's he planning to do with that Inscription Cultivator's life?" Nangong Xi wondered.

"Definitely up to no good... This kid's handsome but wicked at heart," Su Lianlian said.

"He's mischievous, but he has a sense of justice deep down," You Yue corrected.

"Sure sure!" Su Lianlian pouted, "But from my experience with men, especially regarding girls, he's definitely a naughty boy."

You Yue rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Stop pretending. We all know you don't actually have any experience."
