"Gu Yaoyang, one of the ten new stars, has been defeated."
"Chen Zong, the current Sword Son of the Unrivaled Sword Sect."
"The one who defeated Gu Yaoyang is the current Sword Son of the Unrivaled Sword Sect."
News spread from the Tianchi Tower. First, it spread throughout Tianjiang City. Then, with Tianjiang City as the center, it spread out at an extremely fast speed.
As the economic and political center of Tianjiang Prefecture, there were naturally spies from other sects hiding in Tianjiang City. Once there was any important news, they could send it back to their respective sects as quickly as possible so that they could react in time.
Almost immediately after the Tianchi Tower sent out the news, the four Sect received it. Then, other sects outside Tianjiang City received the news as well.
Hearing the news, all sects had different reactions.
In the Unrivaled Sword Sect.
"The Sword Son's way of doing things is really unexpected." The Second Elder laughed.
"He defeated Gu Yaoyang and became one of the ten new stars. Three of our Sword Sect are also on the list." The Fourth Elder was full of smiles. This had some effect on the reputation of the Unrivaled Sword Sect.
"He defeated Gu Yaoyang." Wang Xuanyang looked serious after hearing the news.
Among the ten new stars, cultivation and strength were not the same. Now, Jiang Wanliu of the Heavenly Water Sect had the highest cultivation and strength. It was said that he was ready to enter the third-tier genius camp.
Next were Wang Xuanyang and Gu Yaoyang, while Qiu Chongzi and the others were slightly inferior.
Of course, this did not mean that there was an obvious difference in talent among the ten new stars. Their cultivation and strength were just brought about by the time they reached the Genuine Martial Realm.
Wang Xuanyang's cultivation broke through to the early stage of Lv 5 Genuine Martial Realm as he wished, which was within his expectations. However, Chen Zong's defeat of Gu Yaoyang was beyond his expectation. Being able to defeat Gu Yaoyang meant that Chen Zong's strength was not inferior to his, or even stronger.
"I won't let you surpass me." Wang Xuanyang clenched his teeth and continued to practice hard.
After hearing the news, Qiu Chongzi was stunned at first, then he shook his head and smiled bitterly. The pressure in his heart increased sharply. He felt that he would be surpassed sooner or later, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.
Within the Heavenly Water Sect.
"He has just become the Sword Master of the Zongzheng Sword Sect, but he was able to defeat Gu Yaoyang. He might be another Lin Yuye." The Third Elder of the Tianshui Sect had a cold look in his eyes.
A ruthless look flashed across the Second Elder's chubby face. He still remembered clearly how he had defeated his disciple.
"Find an opportunity and have our disciples ruthlessly defeat him." The Great Elder spoke in a light tone.
Defeating a person would be a huge blow. In serious cases, it might even affect one's future cultivation.
In the True Sun Sect, the Sect Master looked displeased. After all, the one who had been defeated was his son.
"Sect Master, should we let them …" The Third Elder didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he meant.
"No need. Let Yaoyang handle this matter personally," True Yang Sect Master said loftily.
"Defeat him with your own hands. Otherwise, you're not qualified to be my younger brother." A young man in a fiery-red robe with golden flame patterns on it spoke. His body was as domineering as the sun, radiating light and heat constantly.
He wore a golden-red feather crown on his head like a sun crown. His eyes seemed to contain two blazing suns. Gu Yaoyang didn't dare to look him in the eye, or else he would feel like submitting to him.
He was one of the Five Great Geniuses, Zhengyangzi Gu Zhiyang.
"Big Brother, don't worry. I'll definitely avenge you." Gu Yaoyang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. A figure flashed across his mind, and his hatred surged like a tide.
Ao Mei Villa.
It wasn't winter yet, so the plum blossoms hadn't bloomed. However, the branches had a unique flavor.
A snow-white blade light cut across the sky, covering a thousand meters in an instant. It disappeared in a flash. One after another, it was endless. It turned into a waterfall of snow-white blade light that surged forward.
Then, the countless blade lights condensed into a huge snow-white blade light that was ten meters long. It tore the ground apart and split the rocks in front of it like cutting tofu. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, covered with frost.
"Chen Zong …" This person looked ordinary, but his eyes were extremely sharp, like a cold blade that could cut everything in front of him.
Yang Shiqi, one of the top ten stars, was at the fourth Lv of the Genuine Force.
"My saber will not be lonely …" His sharp and cold eyes fell on the bright and long saber. Like a reflection in a mirror, his gaze became gentle. His fingers gently brushed it, as if he was caressing the fair and smooth skin of his lover, extremely gentle.
Chen Zong, who had become the topic of discussion among many forces and geniuses, was in a bad situation.
Long Shaojun had many capable people under his command. They followed Chen Zong's scent and tracks accurately and approached him.
"I'll give you a chance. Submit to me." Long Shaojun rode on the back of the Golden Scale Beast and looked down at Chen Zong who was hundreds of meters away. His expression was indifferent, and his tone was indifferent.
Chen Zong didn't answer. Instead, he carefully observed the surroundings.
There was no doubt that Long Shaojun was the strongest among the eight people. There were also two warriors at the seventh Lv of the Genuine Force. The other five were at the sixth Lv, and the weakest was at the early stage of the sixth Lv.
No matter who they were, Chen Zong had to be careful.
"Take him down." Impatience flashed in Long Shaojun's eyes, but his voice was even calmer. However, that calmness was like an ancient ice that could freeze one to the bone.
His words were like a military order, the seven of them immediately unleashed their techniques, like flowing lights or swift shadows, rushing towards Chen Zong from all directions. They all made their moves, different types of True Power surging, either heavy or ferocious, or like water bringing along a binding Qi, all of them landed on Chen Zong's body, causing the pressure to increase.
Chen Zong also moved. He moved in all directions and shot toward Long Shaojun like a sword.
"You're overestimating yourself." Long Shaojun sneered. He didn't move, waiting for Chen Zong to come closer before he attacked. With his strength, as long as he attacked, Chen Zong would be doomed. No matter how talented he was, it would be useless.
Suddenly, Chen Zong's body changed in midair. He suddenly turned back and rushed to the other side.
"Oh, this kind of trick …" Long Shaojun was slightly startled. His sneer became even more obvious. How dare he show off his leftover tricks?
Creating a diversion, Chen Zong's speed suddenly increased. He rushed toward the weakest warrior at the early stage of the sixth Lv of the Genuine Force. This was the breakthrough point.
"You're courting death!" The warrior at the early stage of the sixth Lv of the Genuine Force smiled ferociously. His True Force gathered in his palm, and there seemed to be lightning arcs jumping around. It was very dazzling. Immediately, he pushed his palm forward fiercely, as if it was branded in the air. He wanted to smash Chen Zong into pieces.
This was an all-out attack from a warrior at the early stage of the sixth Lv of the Genuine Force. The opponent didn't believe that Chen Zong could take it unscathed.
The distance between the two sides quickly shortened. When there were less than ten meters between them, two silver sword lights suddenly tore through the sky. It was extremely dazzling.
Long Shaojun's heart couldn't help but thump. An ominous premonition just appeared. He saw the silver sword light cut through the lightning. Then, with extreme sharpness and overbearingness, it shot out like a sword of heaven's might. It crossed paths with the warrior at the early stage of the sixth Lv of the Genuine Force and flew away quickly without looking back.
The warrior at the early stage of the sixth Lv of the Genuine Force was like a bird shot by an arrow. His body trembled and fell down. His heart was instantly pierced through by Chen Zong's sword. He was completely dead.
"Chase, kill without mercy!" The veins on Long Shaojun's forehead bulged. He was extremely furious. For a moment, his face was as ferocious as a ghost, and his killing intent was like a tsunami.
Chen Zong dared to kill his second subordinate in front of him. Most importantly, he had mocked Chen Zong's old tricks before, but he had been ruthlessly counterattacked.
The Golden Scale Beast turned into a golden flowing light and quickly chased after Chen Zong. The other six subordinates were startled, but they also started to chase at full speed.
In a split second, Chen Zong was hundreds of meters ahead. He sheathed his two swords, and the Fierce Dragon Bow appeared in his hands. He nocked a Water-splitting Arrow.
Chen Zong's body was still in the air, but he quickly turned around. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He locked onto one of them and loosened his fingers.
With a bang, the bowstring vibrated, and an amazing force burst out. The Water-splitting Arrow shot out like an aurora. The arrow's speed was unparalleled. In the blink of an eye, it had traversed hundreds of meters.
This arrow was imbued with tyrannical and pure True Force, which made it even more powerful and faster.
No one had expected Chen Zong to master such exquisite archery skills in addition to being proficient in swordsmanship.
The person who was locked on felt his blood run cold. A chill ran through his spine, and his whole body was numb. His True Force surged, and he punched out. The fist strength broke through the air and scattered the True Force on the arrow. His body was also scattered, but there was still one arrow left.
He barely dodged, but he still couldn't completely avoid it. His neck was torn in half, and blood spurted out like a fountain.
The man quickly used his True Force to seal the wound. He stopped and landed on the ground. He took out a medicinal pill, crushed it, and sprinkled it on the wound on his neck. He used his True Force to dissolve it and stop the spurting blood.
In such a short time, he had spurted out more than half of his blood. His face was as pale as paper, and his whole body was weak. He had to sit on the ground and take the medicinal pill.
The bleeding had stopped, but the wound was too horrible. Fortunately, he had avoided some of it. Otherwise, his throat would have been pierced, and he would have died. However, it was impossible to recover from such an injury without ten or twenty days.
His face was full of shock, and his heart was even more terrified. He had never thought that chasing a Lv 4 Genuine Martial Realm martial artist would result in such a thing.
Long Shaojun's face became more and more unsightly. The other five people also had fear in their eyes. They slowed down a little, for fear of being shot by Chen Zong.
"Chase!" Long Shaojun's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his voice was like the cold wind from purgatory.
He had lost three of his men. This was unforgivable. Long Shaojun didn't have the slightest bit of hope for Chen Zong. He only had murderous intent left.
Hearing Long Shaojun's words, the five people had to speed up and raise their vigilance to the extreme. They paid attention to the bow in Chen Zong's hand. It was too scary. They could be shot if they were not careful.
