Chapter 161: The Battle of Geniuses (Part 1)

  Thank you all sword friends, yesterday let this book rush to the second place in the new book monthly vote.

  But this second didn't last long, half a day hadn't passed, one night had gone by, and in the blink of an eye, it was over.

  Due to the close competition earlier, most people's attention was drawn away, and no one noticed that the 4th and 5th places are rapidly catching up at a speed of almost 100 votes per day.

  Chocolate wants to go further than a hundred feet pole head, but instead of persisting for nearly twenty days, it was exploded by someone!

  So, God! Please grant me a monthly pass!!!!

  Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

  The inner disciples around him retreated in shock and horror.

  Looking at Xuan Tian, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

  Among fellow disciples, there are those who secretly plot against each other due to conflicts.

  However, killing a fellow disciple in public and under everyone's watchful eyes is absolutely unprecedented.

  The Tianjian Sect has a sect rule: those who kill fellow disciples will be stripped of their cultivation and executed as an example to others.

  But now Xuan Tian actually beheaded Deng Fei in front of Ren Shi Tang and dozens of inner disciples.

  Deng Fei is not just an ordinary inner disciple, but the first inner disciple, a genius of Tianjian Sect, and a future pillar. He is far from comparable to an ordinary inner disciple. Killing Deng Fei would have consequences several times more severe than killing an ordinary inner disciple.

  Although Deng Fei was arrogant and domineering in the sect, most of the inner disciples looked at him with disapproval, but did not dare to speak out.

  But when Deng Fei was killed by Xuan Tian in public, the inner door disciples did not feel any relief, but instead felt a chill in their hearts.

  Everyone thought: Huang Tian must have gone mad, actually killing fellow disciples, will he make a move on me?

  So, all the inner disciples looked at Xuan Tian with a hint of fear in their eyes and retreated in unison.

  Seeing the disciples of the inner sect, looking at himself like a killing demon, Xuan Tian said loudly: "In the Yin Wind Mountains, Deng Fei once sent someone to kill me, wanting to kill me. I was lucky to escape, today I killed Deng Fei, it's revenge for the past, one report and another report, you don't have to be alarmed."

  Listening to Xuan Tianyi's words, the expressions in the eyes of the inner disciples changed instantly.

  "What? Brother Deng Fei is actually trying to kill Brother Huang Tian in the Yin Wind Mountains?"

  "No wonder when the two met, they didn't say a word, but revealed a murderous aura."

  "Deng Fei is the first disciple of the inner sect. Brother Huang Tian didn't even ask for permission from the sect, and yet he killed him. What if it was a misunderstanding? That would be a great sin on Brother Huang Tian's part."

  "Yes. If there's no evidence, Deng Fei Shixiong will be killed just like that, and Huang Tian Shixiong won't be able to escape death either."

  Just as the disciples of Zhong Nei Men were discussing heatedly, a voice came from afar: "Huang Tian, you have a big dog's gall. In the sect, you killed fellow disciples and trampled on the sect's rules. Your crime is heinous, you deserve to die as an example!"

  Xuantian looked in the direction of the sound, a black figure was rushing towards this place.

  He was about sixteen years old, with a handsome face and a precious sword on his back. His demeanor was extraordinary, but his eyes were sunken. At this moment, his fierce light was exposed, and his anger was overwhelming.

  "Chu Feng Shixiong has arrived!"

  "Brother Chu, Brother Deng Fei was killed by Huang Tian."

  "Kill fellow disciples, the crime is heinous, deserves to die ten thousand times! I ask Master Chu Feng to uphold justice and execute this evil villain Huang Tian!"

  "Please, Brother Chu Feng, clean up the sect and kill Huang Tian, this traitor of our clan."

  Many disciples rushed towards Chu Feng's direction and shouted loudly one after another.

  These are all the people Deng Fei brought over earlier, they're all his lackeys.

  Deng Fei was just pierced through the chest by Xuan Tian's sword and nailed to the ground. These people were so scared that their legs were trembling, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, fearing that Xuan Tian would go crazy and continue to play with them.

  But now that Chu Feng has arrived, these people are excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and their fearful hearts have disappeared, pointing fingers at Xuan Tian.

  "Chu Feng...!" Xuan Tian stepped on Deng Fei's foot and gazed at Chu Feng, who was rushing over quickly, with a slight hum.

  He and Chu Feng still have an appointment.

  Last year, after the Outer Disciple Ranking Tournament, Xuan Tian was slapped by Chu Feng in the Wuji Pavilion. At that time, Xuan Tian issued a challenge letter to Chu Feng, saying that he would surpass Chu Feng within a year and have a battle with him.

  It's only been a little over four months, not even half a year, but when Xuan Tian sees Chu Feng again, he will no longer be the outer sect's first disciple who was almost powerless to fight back. He has already gained the strength to fight against Chu Feng.

  Chu Feng sped over extremely quickly and soon arrived more than thirty meters in front of Yan Tianzi. He then came to a stop.

  Looking at Deng Fei lying on the ground in a pool of blood, his breath weak, Chu Feng's eyes twitched.

  When beating a dog, one must consider its master; who doesn't know that Deng Fei is Chu Feng's person?

  Xuan Tian couldn't help but hit Deng Fei and even killed him, which made Chu Feng extremely angry.

  Chu Feng's face was gloomy, and his originally somber eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent as he gazed at Xuan Tian. He spoke in a harsh tone: "I actually misjudged you, you trash-like thing. You've reached this level of cultivation now, but in front of me, Chu Feng, you're still that little trash. I can crush you with just one finger, do you believe it? You have the audacity to kill fellow disciples and brothers, what a huge dog's gall! Quickly surrender and disable your cultivation. According to the sect's rules, you should be executed publicly. If not, once I, Chu Feng, take action, you will die miserably."

  Xuān Tiān looked at Chǔ Fēng, chuckled and said: "I killed a fellow disciple, it's up to Xíng Fá Táng to handle, what are you? You're also here pointing fingers and meddling in other people's business."

  "What? How dare you speak to Brother Chu Feng like that?"

  "What a big nerve, being so impudent in front of Chu Feng Shixiong, what kind of behavior is this?"

  "How dare you be disrespectful to Brother Chu Feng? Don't you want to live? Quickly apologize and beg for Brother Chu Feng's mercy."

  "Chu Feng said that with just one finger, he can kill you, and yet you still dare to be arrogant? You don't know the height of the sky or the thickness of the earth..."

  "You're done for! Brother Chu Feng is angry, and even if you kneel down and kowtow, it's no use!"

  There was Chu Feng present, his inner disciples under him didn't put Xuan Tian in their eyes at all, each and every one of them indignantly pointing at Xuan Tian and loudly shouting.

  It seems that Chu Feng has offended them. In their eyes, it is simply a reversal of heaven. A great rebellion against the heavens, intolerable to reason and justice.

  For the scolding of the disciples in the inner door next to him, Chu Feng was very satisfied. After waiting for a few breaths, he waved his hand and the voices around him immediately quieted down. Chu Feng said:

  "My father is the head elder of Punishment Hall, and I represent Punishment Hall. It's a matter of sect rules: you killed a fellow disciple, a heinous crime that deserves death. Anyone in our sect can kill you, do I have the right to interfere?"

  Xuān Tiān's gaze swept coldly over Chǔ Fēng. He said, "Chǔ Fēng, it's not that I'm underestimating you, but rather I fear you don't have the ability to control things."

  "Rubbish! Brother Chu Feng is the number one genius of our sect, he can crush you to death with just one finger, how could he not have any skills?" Another inner disciple shouted before Chu Feng could even speak.

  These disciples. Just now in front of Xuantian, they were like mice seeing a cat. Now with Chu Feng backing them up, one is more arrogant than the other, eager to show off themselves, chattering and babbling, Xuantian has long been furious.

  "Shut up!" Xuan Tian slapped his palm through the air.

  The innate true energy surged out, and a void collapsed, revealing a true energy palm print that shot towards the disciple.

  That disciple was only at the Second Heaven of the Pre-Heaven Realm and couldn't dodge the palm strike from afar by Xuan Tian.

  However, Xuan Tian was hitting that disciple's face, but he was trampling on Chu Feng's dignity. How could Chu Feng let Xuan Tian succeed? He let out a light hum and said, "You dare to use force in front of me?"

  As they spoke, another palm shot out, and the innate true energy transformed into a palm print, sweeping away the palm print that Xuan Tian had struck.

  At this moment, Xuan Tian's palm suddenly closed and he abruptly pointed out one finger.

  Whoosh!

  A brilliant light burst out, its speed as swift as lightning.

  A sword light, Xuan Tian pointed out with one finger, gathering air into a blade.

  In an instant, the sword light shot forward, surpassing the previous palm print by a fraction of a second, striking the palm print that Chu Feng had just slapped out.

  A loud crack... Chu Feng's palm print was cut in half and instantly vanished into thin air.

  That innate double pupil disciple saw Chu Feng make his move, and didn't do anything to resist. Xuan Tian's palm print shot out, advancing forward, striking him in the face.

  Although it wasn't a direct attack, just an empty-handed slap from afar.

  But Xuan Tian's congenital true energy was too profound, and it wasn't something that a second-rate disciple of the Congenital Realm could withstand.

  Pfft——

  The disciple spat out a mouthful of blood, and even two teeth were spat out. He fell to the ground with a thud and let out a miserable groan.

  Chu Feng's eyes widened in shock, his voice filled with astonishment: "Condensing air into a blade? How is this possible? This is a technique that only a martial artist in the later stages of the Innate Realm can possibly use."

  When a warrior enters the Xiantian realm, the Xiantian true energy inside his body is much thicker than the internal energy in the Wudao realm. Moreover, it transforms from virtual to real, and the Xiantian true energy is almost visible to the naked eye, so it's called "true" energy.

  Congenital Boundary Warrior can use Congenital True Qi, gather air into a canopy, and chop out palm prints and fist edges.

  However, attacks like sword and knife must rely on weapons because the sharpness of swords and knives is much more than that of fist punches, just like the sharpness of knives and swords compared to fists.

  Only warriors in the late stage of Xiantian can achieve the ultimate limit of their meridians, making it difficult to expand further. However, for those in the late stage of Xiantian, their Xiantian True Qi becomes increasingly profound and cannot be contained, thus requiring refinement of Xiantian True Qi.

  Let the quality of innate true energy become stronger and stronger, with the same capacity, it can burst out even more powerful force.

  Xuān Tiān cultivated the 'Refining Qi Decision', from the start, he was refining his Pre-Heavenly True Qi. The quality of his Pre-Heavenly True Qi was much higher than that of other warriors. Since entering the third level of the Pre-Heavenly Realm, the quality of his Pre-Heavenly True Qi could almost be compared to that of a late-stage Pre-Heavenly Realm warrior, only in smaller quantities.

  Condensing energy into a blade requires extremely high quality of innate true energy, and Xuan Tian barely meets it.

  Although the 'Sealing Mystical Technique' was used, the cultivation of the seal was only up to the Second Heaven Realm, but the quality of the Pre-Heavenly True Qi would not change, it's just that the meridians were sealed, and at the same time, the amount of Pre-Heavenly True Qi that could pass through was less than that of the Third Heaven Realm, yet it was still possible to cast 'Condensing Qi into a Blade'.

  The innate true energy, condensed into a weapon, transformed into sword awns and knife awns, is much sharper than fist prints and palm prints. With the same intensity of sword awns and fist awns, the attacking power is equal, but the sword awns can easily cut open the fist awns, which is where the sharpness of the sword awns lies.

  It is precisely because of the sharpness of the air blade that it can easily cut through the air, faster than the speed of a palm print punch.

  Xuantian first slapped out a palm print, then pointed to release the energy blade, but the energy blade was later superior, exceeding the palm print, with speed fast and slow, all clear at a glance.

  Condensing energy into a blade is just a means for a late-stage Pre-Heavenly martial artist, and it's not the basis of their actual strength.

  Xuantian not only killed Deng Fei, but also slapped the face of Chu Feng's man in front of him, which is a complete provocation.

  Clang!

  In the midst of the Xuanjie, a mid-grade treasure 'Starfall Sword' appeared in Chu Feng's hand. His eyes were filled with rage as he shouted: "Huang Tian, you dare to lay hands on a fellow disciple? You shall be punished for your double crimes! If I don't take you down today, my name Chu Feng will be written in reverse!"
