As the Universe Turns - Chapter 50

Chapter 50 In the Name of Teacher (1)
Ye Runian stood there without moving a single step. With a swipe of his finger, Jing Zhe continued to slash towards Xia Guyun. Xia Guyun gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand and revolved Genuine energy against the sword with his left hand. With a “clang”, Jing Zhe slashed towards him, still causing his hands to go numb and he continued to retreat.

“Not to mention that you have just consumed too much energy, even at your peak, it is impossible for you to withstand the Awakening Hibernation.”

Ye Runian calmed down and looked at Xia Guyun. His tone was calm. Everyone held their breaths. There were also many girls who looked at him with admiration. The Jade Tree was facing the wind, yet it could also control a divine sword like Jing Zhe. Or was it Cangfeng Valley’s Eldest Senior Brother? Which woman didn’t admire him?

“Whoosh!”

With a sharp sound, how could Xia Guyun admit defeat in front of everyone? If he admitted defeat, it would not be him, but the Xuanqing Sect, but his master, Venerable Li Yuan.

However, seeing the Lonemoon Sword turn into a sharp ray of light and counterattack towards Ye Runian, and even under Xia Guyun’s profound strength, the sword’s light greatly increased, just like that profound Dao Art. Even the crowd below the stage felt a gust of strong wind on their faces.

Ye Runian shook his head. His eyes seemed to have seen victory and defeat. He changed his hand slightly and the profound lightning on the Awakening Sword rose again. The entire sword slashed towards the Lonemoon Sword with a thunderous rumble.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, the entire arena shook violently, as if it would collapse at any moment. The Lonemoon Sword was ruthlessly pushed back. Xia Guyun reached out to catch the flying immortal sword and pointed at the sky. Streaks of golden sword energy immediately descended from the sky.

Ye Runian calmly pinched the sword art with his back hand. The Awakening Sword whistled out and immediately raised a purple sword curtain above his head, chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi.

Everyone below the stage held their breaths. The fact that Awakened Insects could attack and defend was indeed worthy of their reputation. After fighting for half a minute, Xia Guyun’s azure clothes were shattered and his skin was burned by purple lightning. Ye Runian stood in front of him and used the Awakening Sword. He still seemed to be able to swiftly use it.

The hearts of the distant Xuanqing Sect elders were already hanging on the line. Probably, the dust had settled today, and the Xuanqing Sect had finally lost. Even if Xia Guyun continued to persevere, he would still be powerless to return to the heavens.

“Zheng!”

Right at this moment, another roar of the sword rang out. Xia Guyun once again rode his Immortal Sword and attacked Ye Runian. Layers of sword qi surged, causing the entire arena to instantly erupt with a violent wind. Everyone’s eyes widened. Ye Runian suddenly formed seals with both his hands and muttered something. At this moment, thunder clouds rolled all over the sky. Purple thunder was actually lured down by the Alarming Insect and rushed straight towards Xia Guyun!

“It’s thunder!”

Everyone below the stage paled. It was Cangfeng Valley’s profound Dao Art, “Thunderbolt!” Once it was executed by Jing Zhe, its power would greatly increase by countless times! At this moment, the violet lightning that filled the sky rushed towards Xia Guyun like a raging sea, as if vowing to turn all enemies into ashes!

“Ah!”

Seeing such a situation, the faces of the Xuanqing Sect’s junior sisters had already paled. They cried out in alarm. This type of heavenly thunder was simply not something that a human could contend against!

“Rumble!”

Xia Guyun finally collided with the black lightning. At this moment, the earth trembled violently. Smoke and dust filled the entire arena, and the situation inside was no longer visible. When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Xia Guyun was already injured all over the arena. Blood gushed out of his mouth, but he was still holding the Lonely Cloud Sword tightly in his hand.

“Whoosh!”

A cyan figure instantly flew onto the stage and quickly sealed several large acupoints on his body. That person was the Profound Azure Sect’s Elder, Qing Feng, who was stationed in the Heavenly Gate.

Qing Feng picked up the seriously injured Xia Guyun and turned to look at Ye Runian, “You won.” As soon as he finished speaking, he didn’t stay any longer and flew off the stage with Xia Guyun in his arms.

The entire plaza was quiet. Not a single person spoke in the vast plaza. Everyone was dumbfounded. A shocking scene just now appeared in their minds. It was indeed worthy of being the head of Cangfeng Valley’s four great swords, worthy of being Cangfeng Valley’s profound Dao Art, worthy of being Liu Xuanyin’s eldest disciple … The Xuanqing Sect, which had been in the lead for three hundred years, had actually lost today.

Thinking back then, how extraordinary Fairy Miaoyin was, how heaven-shaking his sword was, how unmatched a god ghost was, how many great sects were defeated by one person, but today, Xuanqing Sect had actually lost.

“Alright!”

A Cangfeng Valley from Old man Qingyi stood up excitedly. At this moment, he looked at Ye Runian with a burning gaze. Ever since Cangfeng Valley had been defeated by Ling Yin’s sword, he had been suppressed by Xuanqing Sect for three hundred years. Now, he was finally able to lift his eyebrows and breathe heavily!

“Alright!”

“Alright!”

“Alright!”

The disciples of Cangfeng Valley also cheered. At this moment, a jade-green sword light suddenly flew over from outside the arena and pierced straight into the center of the arena, causing gravel to splatter everywhere. Everyone was shocked. Who would dare to cause trouble here?

“Good what good? Did I say that?”

A white-clothed youth flew towards the arena. His figure was elegant and his toes lightly landed on the hilt of the sword. He tied his hands to his chest and looked at Ye Runian. “Did you forget that there was a disciple waiting for the examination?”

“This … this …”

Many people below the stage were stunned. Even many people from Xuanqing Sect were stunned. It was as if they had really forgotten about Xiao Yichen. However, according to the rules of the Heavenly Gate, after all six of them were eliminated, the disciples waiting for the examination could go on stage and take a final risk.

Although it was becoming increasingly meaningless to set up a candidate disciple, and many sects no longer had a candidate disciple, Xuanqing Sect would still set up a candidate disciple in every tournament.

At this moment, everyone below the stage looked at each other. Could it be that Xuanqing Sect’s last hope had fallen on a disciple waiting for the examination? Moreover, I heard that this person was the only disciple that Fairy Miaoyin accepted six years ago?

At this time, someone noticed the azure celestial sword inserted into the arena. It was Fairy Miaoyin’s famous sword, Chongxiao. Who would have thought that Fairy Miaoyin would actually pass the Chongxiao sword to this person!

“If Cangfeng Valley wants to win, he might have to ask Master about this sword first.”

Yichen placed his toes on the hilt of the sword and placed his hands on his chest. He looked at Ye Runian and smiled faintly. When the audience heard his words, they were even more stunned. Could it be that he really wanted to challenge Ye Runian? Even though he had the Heavy Sky Sword in his hand, the other party also had the Awakening Sword in his hand. However, in terms of cultivation, he looked like he was only able to refine the Qi God. However, Ye Runian had already reached the stage where he was able to refine the Qi God. This was simply impossible to beat.

In the distance, Mei Jianyi also frowned deeply. She was not worried that Yi Chen would suffer a severe injury like Xia Guyun. Although Yi Chen was a naughty child, he was also smart. If he really couldn’t beat him, he would try to escape unscathed, instead of stubbornly kowtowing like Xia Guyun. In the end, his entire body would be covered in injuries.

But now, she couldn’t explain it clearly. She felt a little uneasy today, especially when she thought of the day when Yi Chen destroyed Cangfeng Valley Fang Chengyu’s Immortal Sword. At that time, his killing intent was so heavy that even she was afraid. He had been cultivating with his junior sister on the Purple Night Peak all these years, so how could he have such a strong killing intent on his body …

“Junior Brother Xiao, do you want to fight with me?”

Ye Runian was slightly surprised, but he still wore a smile and looked extraordinary. As he spoke, he glanced at the green sword. Back then, Senior Brother Cangfeng Valley had been defeated by this sword. Later, he couldn’t help but … At this moment, the Awakening Insect in his hand also started to tremble slightly and continuously let out a roar, as if he had sensed the great enemy of the past.

Yi Chen tied his hands to his chest and smiled faintly, “Of course, but if Senior Brother Ye wants to surrender, I can treat you as losing by half.”

“What?”

Hearing his words, many people below the stage were confused. This was Fairy Miaoyin’s disciple. Normally speaking, he should be as gentle and refined as Ye Runian. Why did he speak so carelessly? If he lost, then he would lose. If he won, then he would win. How could he say that he would surrender and lose by half? It was as baffling as Ghost Three.

“Good! Hehe! Surrender and lose by half. This is a good rule!”

A smiling voice came from the crowd. The person who spoke was none other than the eccentric Ghost Stage Three. Everyone in the vicinity handed him a white eye. It was so small that it was not serious, and it was so old that it was also not serious.

“Alright, then surrender and lose by half.”

Ye Runian smiled. His demeanor was still extraordinary. As he spoke, he raised his arm slightly and the Alarming Insect slowly floated up. Purple lightning twisted around the sword and crackled continuously. At the same time, a divine sense entered his mind. “I, Cangfeng Valley, was defeated by this sword back then and endured humiliation for three hundred years. There’s no need for you to be merciful later.”

The one who sent the divine sense to him was an old man in green next to the purple-clothed old man. The old man knew that Ye Runian’s temperament was extremely good, so he was afraid that he would show mercy later. That was why he sent such a divine sense. At this moment, Ye Runian only frowned slightly and did not immediately return the divine sense.

Everyone below the stage began to discuss. Many people were shaking their heads. No one thought that Xiao Yi Chen would be able to win through the night like a year. Even with Ling Yin’s famous sword, the difference in cultivation was several decades. Even Xia Guyun had just suffered such a miserable defeat. What could a disciple of the Qi Refining God do?

“Senior apprentice-brother, please.”

Yi Chen kicked the hilt of the sword with his toes. The Heavy Sky Sword immediately turned into a streak of azure light and flew over. In the next moment, he used Ling Xian Steps to instantly rush forward and hold the Heavy Sky Sword in his hand. He stabbed three times at Ye Runian with lightning speed.

“Chi! Chi! Chi!”

The three swords were as fast as lightning. They stabbed at Ye Runian’s vital points. Ye Runian leaned back and retreated repeatedly. Everyone below the stage couldn’t help but be stunned. What a fast sword! Although this child’s cultivation was inferior to his, his swordsmanship was astonishing. No wonder he dared to challenge him on stage.

Ye Runian steadied herself and knew that Fairy Miaoyin’s 33-dan Jade Flute Sword Technique was unparalleled in the world. She could not fight him closely. She pinched a sword art with her left hand and slashed with her right finger. The Awakening Sword immediately soared into the sky and turned into streaks of purple lightning that slashed towards Xiao Yi Chen.

Clang!

With a swift sound, the two divine swords collided in midair, as if they had been deposited in a volcano for three hundred years. Yi Chen was shaken back, as if he could not withstand the power of the God Refining Realm.
