The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like…

95 – Sudden Change of Events

Taking heavy and distinct steps, he pressed towards Shui Yuner.

When he was still a few steps away, he suddenly kicked off the ground violently and arrived before Shui Yuner’s in an instant.

‘Lower right, diagonal chop!’

A sword ray chopped out swiftly.

Shui Yuner barely managed to position her sword to block in time, and then…

The impact spread in all directions.

“Um, ah…!”

The girl released a painful cry. She was thrown into the air mercilessly.

I will fly out of the arena! Dizzy, she endured the pain, twisted her body in the air, and thrust Phecda into the edge of the arena. With the sword as the axis, she changed direction and returned to the arena.

When she touched the ground, she staggered and knelt on one knee, her hands are shaking.

The strength of the blow just now can be seen from this.

That is the miraculous power that true qi gives people.

I’m going to lose! These words streaked past Shui Yuner’s mind.

No matter how skillful your techniques are performed, all is meaningless in the face of overwhelming power.

… Breaking skill with force, overcoming softness with hardness.

‘Hurry up and use my power!’

Phecda suggested anxiously. She wants Shui Yuner to use the majestic spiritual qi hidden in the sword blade.

Shui Yuner shook her head.

If she is found to have taken Phecda, then despite Xue Qilin’s protection, she won’t be able to stay in the Merak Temple.

All her efforts would have been for naught.

‘If we’re discovered, then let’s beat them all up!’

Phecda said angrily.

Shui Yuner thought she was just kidding, so she didn’t pay much attention.

Now is not the time to yield.

After taking a deep breath, Shui Yuner slowly stood up.

“Do you want to continue?”

Surprise is written all over Li Tiezhu’s face.

In the next second, the surprise turned into a mixture of bitterness and admiration.

“I didn’t intend to expose the fact that I entered the Human Realm in the first round… You’re good, I admire you… I heard that you joined the temple no long ago?”

“That’s right.” Shui Yuner nodded, composed.

“Your will isn’t bad. But…” Li Tiezhu clenched a fist in front of him, “I also have a dream! I can’t have you block my path, nor can I throw in the towel! Therefore, … sorry!”

With resources and opportunities being limited, they’re far from being evenly distributed to everyone.

Using a common saying – there are many monks yet little porridge.

Everyone wants to have access to the limited resources and opportunities in order to achieve their dreams.

Therefore, the road leading to your dreams is replete with plunder, trampling, and harm.

… you have to tread on the corpses of other people in order to achieve success.

This is one of the indisputable truths of the world.

Even so, Li Tiezhu still issued a small apology.

“I’m not going to lose necessarily.”

Smiling lightly, Shui Yuner assumed a stance and pointed the sword tip at the the opponent.

“Alright!.”

The voice has just entered the ears, when the sword blurred and turned into a rain of sword strikes aimed at different places on Shui Yuner.

As if a piece of music…

Successive sounds full of rhythm echoed in the air.

Shui Yuner gritted her teeth and used Phecda to resist the rain of attacks.

She didn’t block every strike.

The other party’s attacks are too fast. Even if she saw them clearly, she can’t respond.

The ones that slipped through the cracks kept causing her harm.

“How about this!”

A fist struck her in the stomach, and the brute force pierced straight to her back.

“Ugh…”

Shui Yuner groaned. She was knocked back a few steps, and almost released her grip on Phecda.

As she staggered, Shui Yuner suppressed the warm current surging towards the throat, and tried to fend off the opponent’s pursuit with her sword.

“Heavenly Dragon Wags Tail!”

Li Tiezhu shouted, and the sword in his hand bent to an incredible degree thanks to true qi and stabbed the girls wrist.

‘No…’

Phecda’s voice stopped abruptly.

She flew out of Shui Yuner’s hand, reflected dazzling light, and pierced into the arena.

Shui Yuner is left defenseless.

“Go down!”

While rotating his body, Li Tiezhu’s leg thick as a tree chopped towards towards the retreating Shui Yuner.

I’m going to lose, I’m going to lose, I’m going to lose!

Shui Yuner watched blankly as the kick approached, her mind filled with the fact that she is about to lose.

“… be careful!”

A voice sounded.

Li Tiezhu stopped mid-movement, and then pulled back.

What’s going on? After she steadied herself, Shui Yuner looked up in doubt.

… Brilliant light dazzled her eyes.

Floating in the air unnaturally, Phecda is blocking in front of the girl.

Her sharply trembling sword blade exudes white light, which is mixed with something ominous.

“… Unforgivable!”

A childish cry of hatred echoed in the sky.

The source of the cry is a blurry figure composed of the light emitted by Phecda.

Did I… pulled out something that shouldn’t be pulled out? At this moment, Shui Yuner had this thought for the first time.

*

“… It’s a sword spirit!”

Xue Qilin leaned forward and yelled in surprise.

Although she still doesn’t have a physical body, but the vague spiritual qi body is definitely a kind of item spirits, a sword spirit.

What’s going on? Didn’t Little Seven say that there are no sword spirits? No, more importantly, how can a practice sword have a sword spirit? It makes no sense!

Although Xue Qilin’s mind is in chaos, but her face adopted a dignified expression.

Spirits born from spiritual qi are the purest things in the world. After thousands of years of accumulation, spirits are no weaker than Grandmaster Realm masters.

But how can a common practice sword have a sword spirit?

Suddenly, she had an epiphany.

Qi Qiqi once mentioned that the practice swords were all modeled after the sword of the Merak Temple’s founder.

What if the sword in Little Yun’s hand isn’t a practice sword, but Phecda? Xue Qilin’s thoughts revolved lightning fast.

Phecda used to be the sword of the then No. 1 master in the world. After such a long period of time, it’s not surprising that a sword spirit with an embryonic form would be born.

But the most important thing at the moment is…

Shit, Little Yun is in danger! Xue Qilin’s chest tightened.

She didn’t delve into the question where Shui Yuner got Phecda from.

In her eyes, none of this matters. She only knows that Shui Yuner is likely to be implicated.

“Mingming, leave here at once – take your brother… and leave at once!”

“What happened?”

Nangong Mingming asked, confused.

It’s not surprising. After all, she doesn’t understand the current situation.

“Don’t ask any questions! Just do what I told you!”

With no time to go into detail, Xue Qilin just ordered sternly.

“I, I understand!”

Nangong Mingming got up and went looking for her brother.

“Little Zhen!”

Xue Qilin turned to look at the dais.

At this time, Ye Zhen has already stood up, a look of surprise on his face.

Qi Qiqi, Xia Xue and Li Wanting exchanged looks, apparently unable to understand the current situation.

As for Liu Chengzong, the smile on his face grew deeper.

It was you, you old fart! Xue Qilin clenched her white teeth tightly.

However, this is not the time to look into this.

“Unforgivable, unforgivable, you want to separate me and Shui Yuner!”

The childish voice reverberated again.

Anger! Absolute anger!

What happens when children get angry? They have a fit…

What a mess! Xue Qilin scolded secretly.

“Little Seven, that’s Phecda! Evacuate the spectators at once!”

Not caring whether Qi Qiqi can react or not, Xue Qilin turned her gaze to the half confused Shui Yuner.

Little Yun, you did something really foolish!

“Little Zhen – save her! I will deal with the sword!”

“Understood!”

Without asking any questions, Ye Zhen rushed out, drew his sword – Heavenly Glimmer, and dashed towards Shui Yuner.

However, there was a resplendent, almost blinding light.

Phecda drew a radiant arc and strangely returned to Shui Yuner’s hand.

A look of incredulity on her face, Shui Yuner’s body moved unnaturally and suddenly slashed down with Phecda.

Bright as the crescent moon in the sky, a ray of sword qi chopped at the fast- approaching Ye Zhen.

“Uh…!”

Ye Zhen injected his true qi into the sword and placed it horizontally in front of him.

The two collided abruptly.

The resulting shock wave swept the spectators from their feet.

As if two ferocious beasts, they released a fierce aura.

… Unexpectedly, Ye Zhen was the first who couldn’t hold on.

After giving his all to deflect the ray of sword qi to a place without people, he fell back and landed beside Xue Qilin.

“Grandmaster!”

“Not yet!”

Xue Qilin made a correction.

Her eyes are already dyed in gold, and her round pupils have shrunk into vertical slits.

“Take the left while I take the right – but don’t harm her!”

“… I can’t pay attention to this under the current circumstances!”

Indeed, there is no room to be lenient

The lass knows this, but…

“Ye Zhen! I said no!”

Xue Qilin turned her head sharply, and her sharp gaze pierced into Ye Zhen’s eyes.

“… I understand.”

Ye Zhen agreed grudgingly.

Bluish-white electric arcs flashed and wound around Empyrean Universe.

Xue Qilin’s eyes glowed.

Whether you are Phecda or something else, but if you dare hurt the people I care about…”

… I’ll have you die without a burial ground!

Then…

Xue Qilin surrounded by lightning shot out.
