Chapter 457: Heaven Severing Blade School!
Heaven Severing Blade School, Ruan Qingsha.
The Heaven Severing Blade School, like the Heavenly Sword Sect, was one of the overlord-level forces of the Azure Void Region. Although its overall foundation was still somewhat inferior to the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was still a colossal force that far surpassed the entire Southern Martial Domain by countless times.
The relationship between the Heaven Severing Blade School and the Heavenly Sword Sect had always been complicated.
On the surface, the two sects were allies. When facing other major forces, they often advanced and retreated together, maintaining a united front.
However, among the disciples, the relationship between the two sects was far from harmonious. Whenever disciples from both sides met, conflict was almost unavoidable. Neither side was willing to yield even half a step.
Ruan Qingsha was one of the top ten Inner Sect Disciples of the Heaven Severing Blade School, and she had been Lan Yue’s rival for a long time. Her sudden arrival at this moment was clearly not out of goodwill.
As expected, the moment Ruan Qingsha appeared, she looked straight at Lan Yue and smiled coldly. "Lan Yue, I heard that your Moon Orchid Tea Gathering invited the elites among the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Outer Sect Disciples. Coincidentally, our Heaven Severing Blade School has also produced a new genius disciple in the Outer Sect recently. I came here today specifically to bring him over and let him learn a thing or two."
As her voice fell, a handsome young man with a pale and slightly eerie face appeared behind Ruan Qingsha.
He raised three fingers and said indifferently, "I came here to challenge all Heavenly Sword Sect cultivators at the 6th level of the Mortal Core Realm. If I cannot win within three moves, then it will be my loss."
"Presumptuous."
"Arrogant."
The pale-faced youth’s words immediately enraged all the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples present.
In the competition between the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Heaven Severing Blade School, the Heavenly Sword Sect had always held the superior position. Since when had a disciple of the Heaven Severing Blade School dared to speak so wildly on the Heavenly Sword Sect’s territory?
"What an ignorant brat."
A Heavenly Sword Sect disciple at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm sneered and said, "Brat, you must have noticed that there are only a few 6th level Mortal Core Realm cultivators here, which is why you dare to say such arrogant words. Your calculation is clever, but do you truly think we cannot see through it?"
"Is that so?"
The pale-faced youth smiled coldly and said, "In that case, whether you are at the 7th, 8th, or 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm, you may fight me as long as you suppress your cultivation to the 6th level of the Mortal Core Realm. The rule remains the same. If you can withstand three of my saber strikes, then I lose."
"You are courting death."
Now, the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples became even angrier.
Even if cultivators at the 7th, 8th, or 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm suppressed their cultivation to the 6th level, their combat experience, martial understanding, and control over power would still remain far beyond ordinary 6th level Mortal Core Realm cultivators.
Yet this pale-faced youth actually wanted them to suppress their cultivation and fight him. More than that, he even claimed that he would win within three moves.
This was no longer ordinary arrogance. It was boundless conceit.
"I will fight you."
A cultivator at the 7th level of the Mortal Core Realm immediately stepped forward and sneered. "Brat, I do not know where your confidence comes from, but I can tell you clearly that in a fight against me, you will not even withstand one move."
As he spoke, the man suppressed his cultivation to the 6th level of the Mortal Core Realm.
Then, he suddenly swung his sword. A frosty sword strike swept forward, releasing endless cold Sword Qi filled with sixty percent Ice Intent as it surged toward the pale-faced youth.
"Trash."
The pale-faced youth smiled coldly.
A pitch-black great saber suddenly appeared in his hand. Without any obvious movement from him, a saber beam erupted like a flash of lightning.
Bang!
With only one strike, the Heavenly Sword Sect disciple was sent flying.
"What?"
Seeing this scene, many Heavenly Sword Sect disciples could not help but reveal shocked expressions.
Although the first disciple to step out was not especially powerful, anyone qualified to attend the Moon Orchid Tea Gathering could not be considered weak. Yet when facing this pale-faced youth, he could not even withstand one saber strike.
"Interesting."
Another white-robed cultivator at the 8th level of the Mortal Core Realm smiled faintly. His figure flashed, and he appeared before the pale-faced youth.
"Brat, you do have some skill. However, with only this level of strength, you are not qualified to act presumptuously inside the Heavenly Sword Sect. Next, you are bound to lose."
After saying this, the white-robed cultivator suppressed his cultivation to the 6th level of the Mortal Core Realm.
"You talk too much."
The pale-faced youth curled his lips and slashed out again.
This saber strike was as fast as lightning, and the roar of the blade sounded like rolling thunder. Seventy percent Saber Intent erupted from the strike, and in a flash of saber light, a long and narrow wound was carved across the white-robed cultivator’s chest.
"I actually lost?"
The white-robed cultivator staggered backward, his face filled with disbelief.
He had been defeated by the pale-faced youth in a single strike. In fact, if the other party had not shown restraint, he would already be dead.
The consecutive defeat of two people made the expressions of many Heavenly Sword Sect disciples turn solemn.
The first disciple losing could still be explained away, but the white-robed cultivator was different. He was a top expert among those at the 8th level of the Mortal Core Realm and had a considerable reputation in the Outer Sect. Yet after suppressing his cultivation, even he could not withstand one strike from the pale-faced youth.
It seemed this pale-faced youth truly had the strength to support his arrogance.
