"Audacious! Do you know who you are speaking to?"
The elder by the side bellowed. Seeing how arrogant this fellow was, he couldn't help but frown.
That elder was Bai Ruanqing's grandfather, so it was only natural for him to speak up for the other party. It was just that his identity was unique, so it wasn't convenient for him to say it out loud. Where the hell did you come from? Meddling in other people's business?
"We're talking here. Stand by the side!"
With a flick of his sword, Zhang Xuan charged right at the elder.
Not expecting the other party to make a move on him, the elder burst into laughter. "How audacious of you! Come, let me see how powerful you are. If you can withstand three blows from me, I'll admit that you aren't weak …"
Putong!
But before he could finish his words, his head fell to the ground.
He had just drawn his sword to block the other party's attack, but clearly, he had failed to do so!
"You sure know how to spout nonsense!"
Zhang Xuan roared as if he had just slaughtered a chicken. "That fellow is spouting nonsense. Don't believe him! It's only right for one to repay one's debt! It's unbecoming of you to renege on your debt! "
"We want to hear it from Bai Ruanqing herself. Who are you? Why are you speaking up for her? "
One of the core disciples harrumphed.
No one was willing to hand over their hard-earned money to another party. Just as they were feeling gleeful over what the other party had said, this fellow suddenly appeared to cause trouble for them.
As for the elder whom the other party had killed with a single slash of his sword, due to how easy it was to kill him, the other party didn't even use any of his sword moves. Furthermore, the other party was disguised as a young man, so the other party thought that he was just an insignificant fellow who wasn't worth mentioning at all.
As such, they didn't realize just how powerful the other party was.
"What's wrong? Are you intending to renege on your debt? "Zhang Xuan asked with a livid expression.
He didn't think that core disciples would be so shameless!
They had already made a bet, but just because Bai Ruanqing hadn't returned, they were going to deny it and refuse to pay up. How shameless!
"It's not up to you to decide whether we're going to renege on our debt or not. We'll listen to our friend here. Since he said that Bai Ruanqing only made the bet to pressure us, he must have his reasons!" The core disciple looked at Elder Bai Ye, who was disguised as a young man. "Isn't that right, friend?"
"Yes …" Elder Bai Ye nodded. "Ruan Qing is only doing this to put pressure on others so that they can better unleash their strength. She doesn't really want money …"
But before he could finish his words, a burst of sword qi flashed across the air.
"What …"
Hurriedly turning his head around, he saw that I Am Very Handsome had drawn his sword once more and was charging right at him.
Zhang Xuan frowned in displeasure. Just as he was about to draw his sword to defend himself, he suddenly felt a chill on his wrist.
Unbeknownst to him, his palm had been severed by the other party's sword. Unable to hold onto his sword any longer, 'dang lang!', it fell to the ground.
"This …"
His pupils contracted, and his body stiffened.
As one of the Three Grand Elders of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, his cultivation had already reached the High Immortal realm, making him one of the strongest existences on the Forsaken Continent.
This was especially so for his swordsmanship. His mastery of swordsmanship had reached the pinnacle of perfection, such that there were few who could match him in swordsmanship alone.
And now, before he could even make a move, his wrist had been chopped off!
Even though it was a sneak attack, the other party's swordsmanship was simply too frightening!
It was no wonder why his old friend was killed in a single strike. He had thought that it was the latter, but from the looks of it, it was more likely that he was powerless before the other party's swordsmanship.
Other than the sect leader, there was only one person in the entire sect who could force his old friend to sever his wrist. Most likely, it was the genius who had comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent, or more accurately, I Am Low Profile!
I Am Very Handsome and I Am Very Low Profile …
Zhang Xuan thought for a moment before coming to a realization. "So, it's you. You are I Am Very Low Profile …"
I Am Very Low Profile was a Dimension Shatterer realm consummation cultivator, and the minimum requirement to enter the core Ethereal Hall was Pseudo Immortal realm primary stage.
Considering the strength of the two of them, he did not expect the other party to be so powerful.
He would have to be a fool if he still could not figure it out after seeing how the other party had executed such a profound swordsmanship.
But before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his tongue. A sword had already pierced into his mouth, and with a light twist, his tongue and teeth were all crushed by the sword qi. The excruciating pain caused him to spurt a mouthful of blood.
"I am indeed quite ruthless. Even I fear myself when I'm being ruthless! "
Zhang Xuan glanced at him impassively.
"Wuuuu …"
With his tongue crushed, Elder Bai Ye tried to speak, but he found himself unable to.
While the Ethereal Hall was an illusion, the pain was real. It was already excruciating to have his wrist severed, and now, his tongue and teeth were severed as well. As one of the top three elders of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, the excruciating pain was so excruciating that cold sweat was dripping down his forehead. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he was on the verge of going insane.
As a High Immortal, he was a renowned figure on the Forsaken Continent. Yet, he had been reduced to such a state by a mere two slashes.
"You are courting death!"
All of this happened in just two breaths. It was only then that Bai Feng finally realized what was going on, and he felt so furious that he could explode on the spot.
How audacious! Making a move on Elder Bai Ye was no different from challenging the entire Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion!
Hu!
Bai Feng raised his sword and thrust it toward Zhang Xuan. While the tip of his sword was still a distance away from Zhang Xuan, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat.
Padah!
His head fell to the ground.
"You are …"
Looking at his own feet, he finally realized who the other party was.
Who could have thought that he would be killed twice by the same person?
Was there still any justice in this world?
He really wanted to cry.
"That fellow shouldn't be spouting nonsense anymore. Who still thinks that Bai Ruanqing's bet is fake?"
After dealing with the meddlesome trio, Zhang Xuan swept his gaze across the crowd.
He had intended to keep a low profile so as to avoid unnecessary trouble, but who would have thought that the other party would refuse to pay up? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Even if he could tolerate it, he couldn't!
Therefore, the moment he made his move, he had to make an example out of them. He had to take care of those who were jumping around first and show them who was in his power first.
"This friend over there, don't you think that it's a little unethical of you to be so vicious right from the start? May I know which core disciple you are? "
A core disciple asked as he walked over.
Seeing that the core disciple had stepped forward, the crowd immediately fell silent.
She was the core disciple ranked third, Liu Yulian!
After she was killed, she had used another Ethereal Token to enter the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion. In order to make it easier for everyone to recognize her, she even used her original appearance.
"You don't want to pay up either?" Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly.
"I trust in Bai Ruanqing's character. This isn't a bet …" Liu Yulian nodded. But just as she was about to continue speaking, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck. Hu! She saw her perky bottom.
Padah!
Her head fell to the ground and rolled several times.
"Alright, is there anyone who doesn't want to pay up? It doesn't matter if you don't want to pay up. As long as you dare to enter the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, I'll kill you every time I see you! I'll kill you until you pay up! "
Not bothering to waste his breath, Zhang Xuan patted the sword in his hand and said calmly.
You want to renege on your debt? Dream on! '
"You …"
Previously, they had been unable to recognize Elder Bai Ye and the others due to their disguises. They had thought that it was just some unknown core disciple who had been killed by a single slash, so they didn't think that I Am Very Handsome was that powerful. Yet, Liu Yulian's head had been lopped off in an instant …
Everyone was horrified!
It was only at this moment that they realized how formidable the young man before them was.
"There's something weird about that fellow. Let's kill him together!"
"He might not be one of our core disciples!"
Someone shouted.
Even the strongest core disciple, He Jingxuan, couldn't have severed Liu Yulian's head with a single slash!
Yet, the young man before them had done so. There was definitely something fishy going on here …
"You're courting death!"
Not expecting these fellows to not pay up and even want to kill him, Zhang Xuan was truly enraged.
Was he giving them face or something?
Since that was the case, he would just have to kill them all!
In any case, he had the core disciple Ethereal Token. If they didn't pay up, he would just kill them one by one until they didn't dare to enter the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion anymore!
Hu!
Zhang Xuan dashed right into the crowd.
In an instant, sword qi whistled in the air, causing the ground to tremble.
Elder Bai Ye, who had his tongue cut off and his wrist severed, stared at the sword qi before him, and his face gradually paled.
"That fellow sure is lawless. After wreaking havoc in the inner disciples, he's going to wreak havoc in the core disciples too …"
Suppressing the pain in his body, Elder Bai Ye was just about to find a way to reveal his identity when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck.
Padah!
The other party had killed a core disciple, and his head had been lopped off.
"…"
Elder Bai Ye.
Opening his eyes, he found himself back in his residence. Bai Feng and another elder were staring at one another with frenzied looks on their faces. At the same time, they looked as if they had aged a decade or so.
They were all High Immortals, but as soon as they clashed with the other party, their heads had been lopped off.
They couldn't hold on any longer!
"You … were killed as well!"
Seeing that Elder Bai Ye had woken up, the elder asked.
"Un."
Elder Bai Ye nodded.
"How many moves?" the elder asked anxiously.
He had been the first to be killed, so he wasn't too sure what had happened after that.
Elder Bai Ye raised his finger.
"Three moves? That's a lot … "
Thinking that he had been killed in a single move, the elder felt so stifled that he felt like dying. Seeing that the other party had actually managed to withstand three moves, he couldn't help but ask in disbelief, "What kind of swordsmanship did you use to be able to withstand three moves?"
When did the gap between him and the young man before him become so huge?
He hadn't even been able to withstand a single move!
"I didn't use any swordsmanship," Elder Bai Ye replied with a bitter smile.
"You didn't?" The elder shook his head. "That's impossible. Given how fast the other party's swordsmanship is, it's impossible for someone of the same cultivation realm to withstand it.
"In the first move, he severed my wrist, causing my sword to fall to the ground!" Elder Bai Ye said. "In the second move, he pierced my mouth and severed my tongue, preventing me from speaking!"
The elder felt goosebumps rising all over his body. "But those aren't killing moves …"
"Indeed, those aren't killing moves. It's because he didn't intend to kill me that I didn't die," Elder Bai Ye replied.
"Then, you …"
The elder continued staring at Elder Bai Ye.
"While he was busy killing the other core disciples, I wanted to reveal my identity, so I tried to stop him. However, I ended up being decapitated by his scattered sword qi," Elder Bai Ye said.
"Scattered sword qi …"
The elder was stunned.
The heck, did the other party have to be so vicious?
The other party didn't intend to kill him, but his scattered sword qi actually managed to kill one of the Three Grand Elders …
Was there any justice in this world?
Was there any law in this world?
"He's the genius who comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent?"
The elder narrowed his eyes in realization.
