“Junior Sister Hongling, are you so sure of your eldest disciple? This is a death battle and Ye Chen’s martial arts attainments are extraordinary. I’m afraid… Ai~”

On the high platform, Venerable Yuan Yi cautioned worriedly as Xiao Hongling sat down.

“Chief Xiao, one word from you, and we can decline this death battle. As for the grudge between Ye Chen and Lin Xiao, after he enters the sect, we can just resolve it for them as their teachers.”

The sage-like Sect Master, Venerable Zi Yun, proposed.

“Tsk tsk, Sect Master, you’re looking down on our Junior Sister Hongling too much. Since he is the eldest disciple she taught, he must be a prodigy. Why would he be afraid of an ordinary martial artist?”

“In my opinion, we have to fight this death battle! Otherwise, any barbarian will dare to come to our Azure Mist Sect to stir up trouble in the future!”

Daoist Chi Song said fiercely.

The moment he said that.

The elders at the side shook their heads.

At this moment, everyone knew very well that this Chief Chi Song was simply fanning the flames!

He wanted to deliberately embarrass this domineering “Number One Fairy in the Eastern Region”!

As everyone knew, Xiao Hongling, the head of the Divine Phoenix Peak, traveled outside all year round. She left the responsibility of teaching cultivation to the deacon elders and rarely asked about them.

As for this Eldest Senior Brother of the Divine Phoenix Peak, he had an ordinary aptitude. It was said that his strength was inferior to even his junior sisters.

“Junior Sister Hongling… Do you really trust Lin Xiao that much?”

Su Mei, too, shot her a glance and spoke plainly.

“Senior Sister and Senior Brothers, there’s no need to worry. My disciple is invincible and can dominate everything!”

Xiao Hongling’s beautiful eyes were bright as she looked at the peerless figure in white in the arena.



In the ring.

The two young men faced each other from afar, smoke rising and billowing!

A huge battle was imminent!

“Do you know that ever since last night when you have been rude to me, you’ve already become a corpse, rotten and smelly!”

“I killed my way from the Western Desert to the Eastern Region. Anyone who offends me will die, and you will be no exception!”

“Don’t worry, after killing you, I’ll think of a way to join the Divine Phoenix Peak. I’ll take good care of your junior sister and that master of yours! Hahahaha…”

A wicked and twisted smile appeared on Ye Chen’s lips.

Tsk tsk.

His lines were indeed as despicable as they were in the book.

As expected of the protagonist of these ancient Gary Stu novels.

Lin Xiao spat and carefully recalled the lines in the book. He cursed, “B*stard! How dare you provoke the eldest disciple of the Divine Phoenix Peak! I’ll send you to your death today!”

With that, he activated his sword technique!

Clank!

A dragon-like roar shook the valley.

Lin Xiao’s gaze was cold. With a wave of his hand, his Innate Spiritual Sword, Cloud Dream Lake, was unsheathed, appearing on his hand!

Tch!

The golden sword beam tore through the air and slashed towards Ye Chen who stood at a distance!

His strike looked gorgeous, but in fact, he had only used less than 10% of his sword intent!

What he wanted was for Ye Chen to be able to successfully catch it and counterattack with his best grandmaster technique, “Connate Body Piercing Sword Qi”!

“You brat, I worked hard last night to help you infuse your sword intent, but you are actually going easy on him!?”

Sitting on the high platform, Xiao Hongling, who could tell everything at a glance, frowned.

Compared to exasperated rage.

At this moment, she was more worried that something would happen to her disciple!

“Sigh, looks like our Chief Xiao’s most trusted eldest disciple is still just an average cultivator.”

“That’s right. With his mere Connate realm cultivation, he actually dares to not use his full strength against a mortal martial artist at the eighth realm of the Martial Dao. He’s simply courting death!”

“Sigh, actually, I’ve long heard that Lin Xiao of the Divine Phoenix Peak has a bad character and is lazy. His strength is even inferior to his junior sisters.”

“Oh? There’s such a thing? Chief Xiao is a rare genius sword cultivator in the cultivation world. She has impressed her way through her entire life. Why would she accept such a mischievous person as her disciple?”

“Damn, it’s not the first time that Chief Xiao has been willful. Which of her disciples entered the sect through the official disciple recruitment ceremony? They were all brought back by her when she went out to travel!”

“Sigh, the chief disciples of the Dragon Head, Crimson Cloud, Heavenly Chi, and Phoenix Cry are all rare geniuses. Only this Lin Xiao from the Divine Phoenix Peak is an embroidered pillow. I’m afraid the power structure of our five lineages will be completely broken…”

At this moment, the group of Azure Mist Sect elders sitting in the void beside him also shook their heads in disappointment.

The young men and women watching in the square did not see anything out of ordinary. They were just looking forward to the fight between two experts of the same age.

The next second.

Something unexpected happened…

Even!

Even Lin Xiao himself did not expect this!

Ding!

“You have successfully restored the plot! You have triggered the divine power of the sword technique: Divine Sword Lightning Control Technique! (Low-grade Heaven Realm).”



“What the hell? You’re rewarding me at a time like this!?”

“No! Don’t come over!”

Lin Xiao cried out in his heart.

However, things did not go according to plan!

Ding!

“I’m implanting the ‘Divine Sword Lightning Control Technique’ into you!”

Profound Sword Dao Quintessence poured into the depths of his sea of consciousness!

Lin Xiao could sense that his Formless Sword Body had become stronger!

The sword intent that he casually condensed was also becoming purer!

Of course, the most terrifying thing was…

The ordinary sword attack he had just made had triggered the special effect of the newly-learned sword technique!

Rumble!

In an instant, the world changed color. The clouds in the heavens suddenly drooped, and there was faint lightning!

Moreover, as Lin Xiao unsheathed his sword, thousands of lightning bolts seemed to have been summoned and fell from the sky, gathering towards his sword!

For a moment, everyone was shocked!

Ye Chen was so frightened that his face turned pale and aghast!

“Oh my god! Sword intent turning into lightning! A sword attracting lightning!”

“Eldest Senior Brother is indeed extraordinary!”

“No wonder he could see through Ye Chen’s true nature as shown in the script about the future!”

Behind the square, the two beauties, Guo Yourong and Chu Youwei, were shocked!

Looking at the sage-like and handsome figure in the arena…

Their beautiful eyes flickered like colorful stars, filled with shock, reverence, and admiration!



In the ring.

RUMBLE!

As Lin Xiao’s sword aura dissipated,

Lightning surged around him, the wind blew, and sand flew!

The pure sword intent that the Formless Sword Body naturally produced filled a radius of a thousand feet and instantly devoured Ye Chen’s sword intent!

At the same time, the surrounding flowers, grass, trees, and flying rocks were all burned to ashes!

This was the ‘Divine Sword Lightning Control Technique’!

With the body of a mortal, he triggered the might of heaven and earth, spread out divine weapons and sharp blades, and sent down divine lightning from the nine heavens. He was unstoppable!

At this moment, on the high platform, the elders and heads who had lived for hundreds of years and had seen the world, and were previously as calm as mountains, were all shocked!

“Xiao’er, is this the first sword technique you created with the Formless Sword Body?”

“You… gave me a big surprise.”

On the high platform.

Xiao Hongling’s red lips trembled. She took a step with her beautiful legs and stood up excitedly.

Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at her beloved disciple in surprise!

“Even if there are mistakes in the karma guided by the Heavenly Dao of this world, Master’s judgment is never wrong!”

“My Xiao’er has the potential to become an emperor! o(* ̄▽ ̄) ̄”
