Chapter 310: Chapter 310: It’s Been a Long Time Since I Drew My Sword! (3 More)

Lu Xunxue was somewhat taken aback, “What is this guy going to do?”

“Could it be that he really intends to participate in the trial?”

“Isn’t that seeking death?”

Hence, Lu Xunxue said to Zhu Ruyan in a rush, “Quickly stop this guy! Otherwise, he’ll really go!”

At this moment, Zhu Ruyan’s expression wasn’t looking good either. Lu Xunxue’s repeated rudeness towards Xue An had angered Zhu Ruyan, which is why she said coldly,

“My lord was planning to take part in the trial all along!”

The statement turned Lu Xunxue’s face pale, and she couldn’t help but feel somewhat annoyed.

Really, a guy who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth—do whatever you like!

Just as she was inwardly greatly dissatisfied, she suddenly heard a commotion up ahead.

She looked up, only to be stunned.

She saw that Xue An had already arrived in the inner field.

His arrival also attracted many gazes.

Many people didn’t recognize him, and seeing his common demeanor as well as his approach by foot, rather than flying over with the grandeur of those “Immortals,” they couldn’t help but be somewhat disdainful.

That included those peerless geniuses with true inheritances, who all frowned.

“Who is this guy, do you know him?” Cheng Lusheng asked Nangong Wushuang from Night Demon Valley.

“I don’t know him!” Nangong Wushuang shook his head, “Perhaps he’s just some minor loose cultivator from somewhere!”

Xue An didn’t bother with the others and just smiled slightly at Fei Bai, “With body as a servant to the sword.”

Upon those words, a bright light flared up in Fei Bai’s eyes, fixating on Xue An before he nodded slightly.

“Are you that newly emerged sword cultivator?”

Xue An smiled, “Indeed! I didn’t expect to see such a pure sword cultivator like you here—how interesting!”

With his words, a terrifying sword intent soared to the skies, startling everyone in the plaza.

Lu Xunxue, who had been in the crowd ready to watch Xue An make a fool of himself, was utterly dumbfounded at this scene.

What… What’s going on!

How could he possess such a formidable presence!

Could it be that all he said was true?

Not just Lu Xunxue, but the many geniuses who had originally been dismissive were equally astonished.

“Such a powerful sword intent!” Miyoi squinted slightly and stared at Xue An.

This man—indeed terrifying!

Cheng Lusheng and others looked even worse.

Only Fei Bai, his face showing delight, “Good! Indeed, a sword cultivator who could cleave a city with a single sword, meeting you is not in vain!”

At that time, atop the towering Immortal Palace, the Imperial Son, Haoyu Huang, stood with his hands behind his back, looking down coldly at everything below.

“Imperial Son, how is the strength of the people participating in this year’s trial?” A middle-aged man with a sinister expression appeared beside him.

The great steward of the Immortal Palace, Zuo Yuhu!

Haoyu Huang shook his head slightly, “Fei Bai of Sword Control Villa is not bad; as for the rest, they are nothing more than mediocre, not worth a blow!”

“And what about this newly emerged sword cultivator?” inquired Zuo Yuhu.

Haoyu Huang’s face showed a touch of pride, “I have already reached the peak of longevity, one step away from becoming a half-step Golden Immortal. These people are no match for me!”

Zuo Yuhu bowed his head respectfully, a hint of fear in his eyes.

Someone of Haoyu Huang’s age reaching the peak of longevity was unparalleled across the world.

And it was certain that he could take that step and enter the ranks of Golden Immortals!

This also meant that he would become the strongest person in the Immortal Palace, aside from a few unfathomable beings.

Zuo Yuhu’s respect for him grew even more.

At this moment, the trial competition officially began.

Contestants started entering the arena one after another.

Xue An also walked in.

After the interchanging light and shadow, the first opponent who appeared before him was none other than Fei Bai!

“I haven’t drawn my sword in a long time,” Fei Bai said slowly, “but to show respect, this time, I will draw it against you.”

As he spoke, Fei Bai slowly drew the Fei Bai Sword from his waist.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, nor was it any divine weapon.

The Fei Bai Sword was plain and unremarkable, as if it was bought for five liangs of silver from a blacksmith’s shop.

But looking at the sword, Fei Bai’s expression was as if he was gazing at his dearest lover; his fingers gently caressed the blade.

“This sword has been with me since my juvenile years, accompanying me through many years of battle. Three hundred and twenty-one Heavenly Beings, one hundred and eighteen Loose Immortals, and eighteen Half-step Longevity practicers have died under it!”

“And you will be the nineteenth!”

Upon saying this, several huge tornadoes suddenly formed around Fei Bai.

These were all condensed by Fei Bai’s peerless Sword Qi.

Unlike other trials.

The trial at the main city of Kunlun was live broadcast in its entirety.

Sages used the Mist Mirror Technique to present the battle scenes from each trial field to everyone.

Therefore, when the onlookers saw this scene from Fei Bai, they all let out a collective gasp of amazement.

“Even through the mirror technique, one can still feel that powerful Sword Intent. This Fei Bai truly deserves his reputation as a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Sword Dao!” said several Sword Cultivators with solemn expressions.

As for Fairy Thousand Snow and others, their faces were even more morose.

After all, the stronger the people from the Sword Control Villa, the smaller their chances of winning.

In the middle of the crowd, Zhu Ruyan’s hands involuntarily clenched tight.

Sir, you must fight hard!

Standing beside her, Lu Xunxue’s expression was uncertain.

So you really are an extraordinary master, but why didn’t you say so?

It’s ridiculous how I’ve been thinking you were a swindler all this time, only to realize in the end that I’m the actual joke!

Thinking this, Lu Xunxue sighed softly, then gave a bitter smile.

Well then, let’s see if you can win this time!

Meanwhile, in the trial field, facing Fei Bai’s powerful sword momentum.

The look of admiration on Xue An’s face grew ever more intense.

“You are the first such pure Sword Cultivator I have met in this world. Although your cultivation level is shallow, it is still worthy of respect,” Xue An said lightly.

Many people who heard this through the Mist Mirror couldn’t help but be stunned.

To actually say Fei Bai of the Sword Control Villa has shallow cultivation, just how bold is this person?

But Fei Bai was neither sad nor happy as he slowly raised his sword, “This sword is named ‘Extinction’.”

With that said, the tornadoes formed by the Sword Qi lunged straight at Xue An.

At the same moment, a spectacularly brilliant sword light streaked across the sky.

The entire Mist Mirror couldn’t withstand such a powerful force, and it shattered directly.

Boom!

The crowd was abuzz.

Soon, someone condensed the Mist Mirror once again.

Only then did people witness an unbelievable scene.

Xue An was still standing in the distance, but around him, countless sword glows appeared, blocking the advance of the Fei Bai Sword.

Yet the Fei Bai Sword still continued to press forward, slowly advancing deeper; with each movement forward, countless sword glows were born and extinguished.

Hiss!

Many people drew in a breath of cold air.
