The Number One Sword Cultivator in Drifting Cloud
Clang!
Just as the grey-robed old man finished speaking, a long sword appeared in his hand. The sword was very long and gave off a dark green color. It was as if it was not a sword, but a poisonous snake that was waiting for its prey to fill its stomach.
"It's the Serene Snake Sword!" The moment they saw this strange sword, everyone's expression changed, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
At the same time, Hua Yunhe's voice rang out in Chu Xingyun's mind. He said seriously, "Chu Xingyun, the grey-robed elder in front of you is called Zhao Jiuyin. In terms of cultivation, he is not very high, only at Earth Spirit Level 7. But his sword skills are strange and unpredictable. He can be called the number one sword cultivator in the Liuyun Dynasty."
"Number one sword cultivator in the Liuyun Dynasty?" Chu Xingyun was stunned.
Hua Yunhe continued, "Zhao Jiuyin was originally an ordinary sword cultivator. Legend has it that he accidentally entered a secret realm and obtained the lifelong sword skills of a powerful sword cultivator. From then on, his sword skills became more and more profound. He searched everywhere for people to spar with, and finally obtained the title of the number one sword cultivator in Drifting Cloud."
"After he became the number one sword cultivator in Drifting Cloud, he left the Liuyun Dynasty. His whereabouts gradually became a mystery. I never thought that he would join Wu Jing Xue."
Hua Yunhe's gaze was somewhat gloomy. He could feel a trace of coldness in Zhao Jiuyin's eyes. He did not hide it in the slightest as he stared at Chu Xingyun.
"Zhao Jiuyin, back off immediately!"
Wu Teng shouted. The grey-robed elder immediately retreated a few steps, but he did not put away the Serene Snake Sword in his hand. It was still emitting a cold aura.
"President Chu, I've let you see a joke just now." Wu Teng looked at Chu Xingyun again and said coldly, "I still remember what happened last time. I also feel that it was unfair to President Chu. Why don't we compete again before the banquet begins? What do you think?"
"As expected!"
Hearing Wu Teng's words, everyone's expression froze. In fact, when they saw Zhao Jiuyin, they had vaguely guessed Wu Teng's intentions, but they did not expect Wu Teng to be so direct.
"What kind of competition?" Chu Xingyun's complexion was still indifferent as he asked.
"Chairman Chu, your Wu Ling is a sword. Back then at the Qitian Peak, you also displayed profound swordsmanship. This follower of mine just so happens to be a sword cultivator as well. Why don't the two of you suppress your cultivation and compare swordsmanship? Whoever is injured first will be the loser," Wu Teng pointed at Zhao Jiuyin behind him and enunciated every word clearly.
"Wu Teng, aren't you being a little too shameless?" Hua Yunhe couldn't hold himself back any longer. He took a step forward and directly berated Wu Teng.
Chu Xingyun's cultivation was not high. He was only at the Second Sky of the Earth Spirit Realm, but the trump cards he had were endless. It was also because of this that Chu Xingyun was able to kill Liu Song on the spot.
At this moment, Wu Teng suggested that both of them suppress their cultivation and compare swordsmanship. This was undoubtedly a disguised way of lowering Chu Xingyun's strength.
Furthermore, Chu Xingyun's opponent was Zhao Jiuyin, the number one sword cultivator in Drifting Cloud. In terms of swordsmanship, no one could compare to him.
There was no fairness in this competition at all!
"What does my conversation with President Chu have to do with you?" Wu Teng was not afraid of Hua Yunhe at all. He sneered and said, "If President Chu is afraid of losing, then it's fine. You can just refuse. After all, not everyone can face the word 'defeat' directly."
"Who said I'm going to refuse?"
Chu Xingyun curled his lips and said slowly, "To be able to compare swordsmanship with the number one sword cultivator in Drifting Cloud, to me, is something worth looking forward to. Why would I refuse? However, there should be some prizes for this competition, right?"
"Of course!" Hearing Chu Xingyun's agreement, Wu Teng was overjoyed. He said in a low voice, "President Chu is the owner of the Soaring Cloud Merchant Association. You have a lot of resources. Why don't we use spiritual stones as the wager for this competition? It's not much, just two million per person."
Thump!
The crowd's gaze froze. Two million spiritual stones as the wager for a competition was too crazy. Such a huge amount was equivalent to a year's profit of the Soaring Cloud Merchant Association.
Hua Yunhe's breathing became heavy. Just as he was about to say something to stop him, he saw Chu Xingyun's confident face. He nodded and said, "Alright, it's a deal. Two million spiritual stones it is."
After saying that, he stepped forward, and a steel longsword appeared in his hand.
Since it was a simple competition, he naturally could not use the Sky Slashing Sword. Only a normal longsword would show fairness.
The smile on Wu Teng's face grew wider and wider. He gave a signal with his eyes, and Zhao Jiuyin, who was behind him, stepped forward again. He quickly walked in front of Chu Xingyun, and a steel longsword also appeared in his hand.
Buzz!
The two were only five steps away from each other. With their hands on the sword hilt, a sharp aura bloomed, causing the crowd to take a few steps back.
"Zhao Jiuyin's swordsmanship is needless to say. No matter how talented Chu Xingyun is, he is far from being a match for him."
"Before this battle, Wu Teng had lost to Chu Xingyun and lost all face. This time around, it's his battle of revenge. He'll definitely be well-prepared. If Chu Xingyun wants to win, it will be as difficult as ascending the heavens."
"Ten moves. Within ten moves, Chu Xingyun will definitely lose."
Sounds of discussion came from the crowd. Almost no one was optimistic about Chu Xingyun's chances. These words made the faces of Hua Yunhe and the others even uglier. They all felt that Chu Xingyun was too reckless and arrogant.
Of course, Lin Tianchong was an exception.
At this moment, he was quietly sitting cross-legged, drinking wine and eating delicacies. He had a playful expression on his face as if he was watching a good show.
"You are quite capable to be able to completely hide your flaws. Even so, you will still lose!"
Zhao Jiuyin said arrogantly. Suddenly, two rays of light shot out from his eyes. He strode towards Chu Xingyun. He seemed to be walking very slowly, but in an instant, he appeared in front of Chu Xingyun.
Whoosh!
The longsword pierced through the air and stabbed towards Chu Xingyun.
This sword did not use any spiritual energy, but a cold venomous snake appeared on the tip of the sword. It was as if it had turned into a sword of venomous snakes, making it difficult to predict the sword's trajectory.
"Sword of Serene Snake!"
Zhao Jiuyin's aura completely erupted. With a wave of his arm, the sword that had turned into a venomous snake suddenly turned in an arc and attacked from the side, stabbing towards Chu Xingyun's neck.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun's figure flashed to the side. His longsword moved nimbly and directly avoided Zhao Jiuyin's strange sword move. The tip of the sword was unadorned. It stabbed straight ahead, making Zhao Jiuyin feel that it was difficult to dodge.
"This kid actually saw through my Serene Snake Sword with a glance?"
A strange light flashed in Zhao Jiuyin's eyes. His expression darkened as he immediately felt a wave of Sword Qi coming towards him, causing a chill to run down his spine.
"Serene Snake!"
Zhao Jiuyin's body leaned back as he swung his sword with one hand. The tip of the sword once again turned into a venomous snake and bypassed Chu Xingyun's attack. He changed from defense to offense and stabbed out again.
"The distance between us is only three feet. If we attack at the same time, I will definitely injure him first. With this person's attainment in swordsmanship, it is impossible for him not to know this." Chu Xingyun stared at the tip of Zhao Jiuyin's sword and suddenly had such a question in his heart.
At this moment — —
Chu Xingyun suddenly smelled a fishy sweet smell. This smell was very weak, so weak that it was practically negligible. However, Chu Xingyun's expression immediately turned gloomy, and he took a step back. He had actually chosen to avoid the smell.
Kacha!
The two swords collided in the void, producing an ear-piercing sound of metal shattering.
Then, under the astonished gaze of everyone, the longsword in Chu Xingyun's hand actually broke.
