Chapter 64: Defeated at North Yue

  "Qin Tianyi! You dare!"

  The Beiyue Sword Master who had just dissolved Qin Tianyi's Lingkong punch burst out with all his might, charging forward and shouting loudly, attempting to stop him.

  "What's there to be afraid of! Bei Yue, even if you've advanced to the Sword Master realm, what can you do? From the moment your Xuanling Sect sent assassins to Yunlai Sword Sect to kill me, I, Qin Tianji, vowed that I would definitely destroy your Xuanling Sect!"

  In the midst of a loud explosion, Qin Tianyi's right hand suddenly rose high, aiming at Yu Fan Yun, and came crashing down with overwhelming force.

  "Ah! Qin Tianyi!"

  Overcome with fear of death, Yu Fengyun finally came to from the shock of having his spirit seized, his true energy in turmoil, and a palm shot out straight at Qin Tianyi.

  "Smash!"

  Bang!

  Flesh and blood clashed with the top-grade treasure sword, and Yu Fan Yun's scabbard was shaken into iron filings, splashing everywhere. The massive counter-shock force impacted Yu Fan Yun's right hand holding the sword, shattering his right hand's bones.

  And then, this palm finally came down and slapped heavily on Yu Fan Yun's head, the leader of Xuan Ling Sect.

  No!

  "Die!"

  "Boom!"

  Yu Fan's mournful and piteous cry was abruptly cut off, his entire head shattered into powder under Qin Tianyi's palm.

  "Hah!"

  Watching the leader of the Xuanling Sect being killed by Qin Tianyi on the spot, everyone in the entire arena was shocked, and countless people gasped in shock.

  Song Yunjin and Zhao Hanqing, the strong swordsmen who were originally sitting quietly on the high platform to watch the battle, couldn't help but lean forward slightly, gripping their chairs tightly.

  No one had expected that Qin Tianyi, who was showing off his physical strength, would be so ferocious. He retreated North Yue, a sword master, with a single strike from over 20 meters away, and then he swept through the forest like a hot knife through butter, blasting Lin Zhongyang into the air, crushing him, and killing Yu Fan Yun in one swift motion, without any hesitation or delay.

  Those who were considered top-notch great swordsmen in Wanxia County seemed like chopping vegetables in front of him, without any power to fight back.

  "Ah! He's dead! Yu Fan Yun, the leader of the Xuan Ling Sect, is dead?!"

  "Yunlai Jianzong's Young Master Qin Tianji... how could he possibly be so powerful?"

  Dong Ping and Zhu Xinghai among others in the Taoyuan Gate took a step forward, as if this way, they could see more clearly what was happening in front of them.

  "Jian Shi, Bei Yue is indeed a Sword Master. Even strong swordsmen can't stop him, yet he was repelled by him in one move?!"

  "The mighty leader of the Xuanling Sect, a master of the external boundary, was killed with just one slap without any resistance..."

  "Impossible, impossible, I must have seen it wrong!? Hallucination, could it be a hallucination!? Right, only if I had a hallucination can I explain what's happening in front of me! Hallucination! It must be a hallucination!"

  Kong Mo, Wu Zhen Tian and others who stood together with Yun Lai Jianzong stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with horror as they watched Yu Fan Yun's head shatter, his body slowly falling backwards, feeling a slight tremble all over.

  "No wonder Yunlai Sword Sect is so unscrupulous in their attitude towards Xuanling Sect, no wonder they dare... A master-level cultivator, Qin Tianji, the young master of Yunlai Sword Sect, is actually a master-level cultivator!"

  Wei Qing let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. The anxiety and unease that had plagued him throughout the night dissipated in an instant as Qin Tianyi revealed his true strength.

  "Tiān jī..."

  "Less is more!"

  "How could the Young Master be hiding so deeply!?"

  Qin Yuyan, Jiang Caiyun, Gu Cheng, Xiao Sumeng and others from Yunlai Sword Sect stared at Qin Tianyi one by one, as if they were seeing the young master of Yunlai Sword Sect for the first time.

  "Bastard!"

  Seeing Yu Fan Yun's crushed skull, Bei Yue Jian Shi let out a mad roar, his entire body overflowing with murderous aura, the hatred in his heart for Qin Tian Yi was like the endless waters of the heavenly river, impossible to wash away.

  With his promotion to the realm of swordsmen, he took down the qualification of a first-class sect and should have been a great talent, thoroughly occupying the entire Wanxia County, becoming the leader of Wanxia County, and then rapidly developing and expanding, with a bright future ahead.

  But...

  At the most brilliant moment of their entire Xuanling Sect, they suffered such a heavy blow. The remaining seven great swordsmen in the sect were killed by Qin Tianyi, five of them were killed, and even the sect leader was killed. The Xuanling Sect was completely disgraced, this hatred is so deep that it cannot be shared under the same sky.

  "You beast! Today either you die or I perish!"

  A long whistle escaped the Northern Peak Sword Master's mouth, his figure flashed and stepped forward, the peerless treasured sword in his hand was like a startled swan, stabbing and killing as it arrived. In the empty air, it actually brought out a faint trail.

  "It's either you die or I perish. Today, only one of our sects, Yunlai Sword Sect and Xuanling Sect, can leave the arena unscathed!"

  Qin Tianyi let out a long whistle, not dodging or evading, facing the Northern Peak Sword Master head-on and charging forward. Before they even made contact, he suddenly swung his hand, grasping at the air with a fierce grip, causing it to explode. With a swift motion, he seized the exquisite sword in the Northern Peak Sword Master's hand, holding it firmly in his own grasp.

  "Seeking death! Xuanling's Three Extremes! Ninth Turn: Shattering Mountains and Rivers!"

  The treasured sword was grasped, and the Northern Peak Sword Master's entire body's true yuan wildly spewed out. The whole handle of the treasured sword violently shook, directly shaking off Qin Tianyi's right hand that was grasping the sword, even causing several fine cracks to appear on his palm.

  A master-level swordsman's true energy transforms into true yuan, and there is a qualitative difference in power compared to the swordsmen in the training phase. If Beiyue Sword Master hadn't just advanced to the Sword Master realm, his aura wouldn't have fully transformed, and relying on his aura defense, he could also resist the killing blow of a great swordsman-level strongman head-on like Qin Tianyi.

  "Kill! One thrust of Heaven and Earth!"

  Shaking off Qin Tianji's right hand, which was tightly grasping his treasured sword, the Beiyue Sword Master suddenly thrust out a sword, fiercely stabbing towards Qin Tianji's heart.

  This sword was thrust out with a special force technique, swift as lightning, shocking the heavens. The X-01 bio-mech provided terrible power and defense, but the bonus to speed was not obvious. Qin Tianyi tried his best to intercept, but was still pierced by this sword!

  "Hiss!"

  The blade entered the body, stabbing in 5 millimeters!

  However, after piercing half a centimeter, this excellent sword encountered an impenetrable strong barrier that could not be pierced, and it was impossible to penetrate even a little further, and it was actually blocked outside the skin.

  "What?!"

  Beiyue Swordmaster's eyes widened in unison.

  "This is impossible!"

  Song Yunjin and Zhao Hanqing, who were on a high platform in the distance, couldn't help but stand up.

  "Is this the defense of a Cultivator? Could it be that Qin Tianyi is not just a Cultivator, but also an expert in defensive horizontal exercises?"

  "Bei Yue, is this your true power!? You're nothing but a crappy swordmaster! Come and meet your death!"

  Qin Tianji's expression suddenly turned fierce, his eyes flashing with a menacing light. His right hand struck down towards Beiyue's head with a loud slap, and if it hit its mark, it would definitely send this sword master flying into the clouds.

  "Despicable! Why?! How can you possibly condense such a powerful physique?! I don't believe I won't be able to break through you! Chaotic Heaven-Toppling Fist!"

  Bei Yue's swordmaster let out a furious roar, the true yuan contained in the sword's edge suddenly burst forth, shaking violently and carrying an extremely powerful force that thundered into Qin Tianyi's body.

  Under the interference of this shocking force, the X-01 type biological armor energy that filled Qin Tianyi's body was slightly delayed, allowing the force to finally invade his body, causing him to involuntarily retreat repeatedly.

  "Haha! Your defense of rigidity, flexibility and gentleness is not invincible!"

  As soon as Qin Tianyi's figure flew back, the face of Beiyue Sword Master showed a look of extreme joy. He, who could cultivate to the realm of sword master, had such high intelligence that he understood Qin Tianyi's weakness in an instant.

  "You little beast, your time is up."

  Bei Yue Sword Master burst out laughing, his body shape changing wildly in an instant, as if transformed into thousands of sword shadows, simultaneously from all sides, stabbing and killing Qin Tianji, enveloping him in a storm of crazy wind and rain.

  "Smash!"

  Qin Tianyi's fists flew out like the wind, and in an instant, he had already unleashed thirteen punches. The explosive force of his blows shook the air, shattering more than half of the illusory form that Beiyue Sword Master had transformed into. However, three phantasms still invaded his presence, two of which dissipated later, while the remaining one directly struck his body.

  "Mystic Monkey's Hundred Transformations!"

  Before Beiyue Sword Master could unleash his mixed yuan dashing heaven's power, Qin Tianyi's body suddenly shook, causing the sword to only leave a white mark on his body. Then he turned around and punched heavily onto Beiyue Sword Master's body. Even though Beiyue Sword Master quickly drew his sword back for defense, with true yuan spreading all over, he was still struck by Qin Tianyi's punch, causing his true yuan to disperse, his blood and energy shaken, and he flew backward, landing on the ground. He continued to retreat several steps, his momentum unabated.

  A swordsman is still a swordsman after all.

  Qin Tianji hastily turned around and struck again, but was blocked by the Northern Yue Sword Master. He couldn't deal with him in the same way as those large swordsmen, blasting them away with a single punch.

  However, just as Qin Tianyi was about to take advantage of the victory and launch a pursuit, his spiritual world suddenly emptied, and all the power in his body seemed to be instantly drained. The green glow symbolizing the activation of the X-01 biological armor dimmed slightly, weakness struck, and his feet also stumbled slightly.

  "Huh?"

  Bei Yue Sword Master's eyes were incredibly sharp.

  Qin Tianyi caught these subtle changes at once, and after a quick turn of his mind, he seemed to have thought of something. A look of wild joy appeared in his eyes: "Forbidden technique! You must have used a forbidden technique to stimulate the potential of your body, otherwise your cultivation wouldn't be so strong!"

  "Taboo?"

  Song Yunjin and Zhao Hanqing on the viewing platform heard Beiyue Swordmaster's words, and after carefully sizing up Qin Tianyi again, they suddenly seemed to have guessed something.

  Qin Tianyi started to look pale from the moment he faced Feng Lie, and as time went on, this paleness became more and more pronounced, clearly a sign of overexertion.

  "It's actually a forbidden technique? However, even if that's the case, this Qin Tianyi is still quite impressive. Relying on just one forbidden technique, he can actually force Xuanling Sect and Beiyue Sword Master to such a degree."

  "The words are fine, but as for who will win or lose between Beiyue Swordmaster and Qin Tianyi next, that's still an unknown quantity."

  "You little beast, I'd like to see how long you can hold on. Your speed is your biggest weakness. Anyway, most of the masters of my Xuanling Sect have been killed or injured, and I won't let your Yunlai Sword Sect get away with it either. Before killing you, I'll directly charge into your Yunlai Sword Sect's camp and slaughter all of them, letting you experience the pain of watching your sect members being slowly killed one by one!"

  Bei Yue Jian Shi's face was full of resentment and his gaze was fixed on Qin Tian Yi, but at the same time, he actually planned to avoid Qin Tian Yi, make a big detour, and retreat in the direction of Yun Lei Sword Sect.

  "Bei Yue! You think you still have a chance? I was going to let you live for a few more seconds, but since you're so eager, I'll send you on your way now!"

  Qin Tianyi's eyes were cold and stern.

  In the spiritual world, the spiritual power that has been consumed to near complete exhaustion is once again gathered, compressed and exploded...

  "Number two! Overload mode activated!"

  "X-01 Power Armor, normal mode activated!"
