Monarch Of Time

Chapter 320 - 320 Fighting Liu Jian

Liu Jian and the Elders of the ʼFloating Cloud sectʼ around him were all taken aback when they saw this.

Was Liu Mei intending to fight Liu Jian head-on?

Liu Jian was also stunned when he noticed the quality of the azure sword in Liu Meiʼs hands.

With a glance, he could clearly tell that this azure sword was even better than his own sword!

As for Liu Changpun, he didnʼt seem to have noticed this detail, and instead, he pointed at his sister and laughed in a mocking manner as he said

ʼʼHahaha, take revenge? Revenge for what? For being treated unfairly?

This is the cultivation world idiotic woman! Perhaps you were lucky enough to obtain the inheritance of the ʼVermilion realmʼ, but if you think that your sudden rise in cultivation will instantly place you at the level of a sect master, you really are dumb!

Just based on how quickly you have advanced, your foundation is surely unstable and you may never even reach the late-stages of the Spirit realm!ʼʼ

Liu Jian frowned when he heard his sonʼs words, but he didnʼt berate him this time.

It was obvious that Liu Mei really wanted to fight him, and wouldnʼt rest until one of them won.

Besides, in Liu Jianʼs heart, Liu Changpun was also right.

Despite the fact that Liu Meiʼs cultivation had somehow surpassed his, and her sword looked to be at least a rank 3 silver grade weapon, Liu Jian didnʼt think that he would lose when fighting his own daughter.

Even in the worst-case scenario, they would be evenly matched!

After all, Liu Jianʼs fighting experience was honed through many years of fighting against the best of the best in the ʼDesolate Eastʼ.

Although his cultivation was only at the early stages of the Spirit realm, he was still a peak rank 3 Spirit realm expert who was just a step away from reaching the middle-stages.

Despite the qualitative difference between the early and the middle-stages of the Spirit realm, Liu Jian always had the confidence to fight against, and even defeat normal early rank 4 Spirit realm cultivators, let alone Liu Mei who most likely had her cultivation boosted in an abnormal way.

Looking at Liu Mei, Liu Jian shook his head, before he said with a serious look in his eyes

ʼʼVery well!

If you win, you can take your mother and do whatever else you want to do...

But if you lose, you will have to listen to me from now on.ʼʼ

With a gentle smile on his face, Liu Jian took out a long white sword from his spatial ring, and looking at Liu Mei he continued

ʼʼMeimei donʼt worry. I will no longer force you to marry someone you donʼt want to! In fact, as long as you agree, I will make you the sect master today!

After all, my blood still flows through your veins, and even if I failed to realize your worth in the past, we can still fix everything.ʼʼ

ʼʼHahaha!ʼʼ

At the same time, right above the clouds of the ʼFloating Cloud cityʼ, Shun Long couldnʼt help laughing when he heard Liu Jianʼs words.

Thankfully he had already suppressed his voice so no one had managed to hear him.

Seeing Liu Jianʼs attempt to persuade Liu Mei to return back to the sect, was akin to watching a monkey perform.

If everything in this world, including years of parental neglection that had practically pushed Liu Mei to the brink of death, forcing her to pass through the second trial of the ʼVermilion realmʼ by herself and almost die in the process, all of them simply to escape from the ʼFloating Cloud sectʼ, could be mended through a bunch of sweet words, then Liu Mei would have really suffered for nothing.

Indeed, this was a pragmatic world, and now that Liu Meiʼs ʼworthʼ had exceeded that of Liu Changpunʼs in their fatherʼs eyes, Liu Jian was willing to do anything to get Liu Mei back to his side.

However, although Lan Hongʼs and the rest of the Elders nodded their heads, Liu Changpunʼs expression had instantly turned ugly when he heard his fatherʼs words.

He was like a chicken being held from its neck.

Make Liu Mei the sect master? Then what about him?

However, despite Liu Jianʼs sweet words, Liu Mei wasnʼt that naive and sheltered woman any longer.

Although she was a person who seldomly spoke, she had experienced a lot of things with Shun Long in the last year, and wouldnʼt be willing to forgive Liu Jian just because of a few words.

Holding the peak rank 2 silver grade sword in his hand, Liu Jian looked at Liu Mei and said in a gentle tone

ʼʼCome then! Show me how much you have improved while you were away!ʼʼ

With a cold look in her eyes, a layer of frost appeared on Liu Meiʼs ʼfour seasons azure swordʼ, before she flew forward towards Liu Jian.

Although Shun Long had already taught her the ʼGale stepsʼ, Liu Meiʼs affinity with this martial skill wasnʼt high, and she had only reached the first out of the 7 levels.

However, just the first stage of this ʼMystic high-grade martial skillʼ was enough to boost Liu Meiʼs speed by at least two-fold, making it impossible for any early-stage Spirit realm cultivator to catch up with her.

Even other rank 4 and rank 5 Spirit realm cultivators wouldnʼt be able to match her speed if they hadnʼt comprehended a Dao like the ʼDao of Windʼ or if they didnʼt have a similar ʼMystic high-grade martial skillʼ!

A gust of wind appeared around Liu Meiʼs feet while her body left behind a layer of frost in tha air as she flew towards Liu Jian.

Using both of her hands, Liu Mei gathered her qi into the ʼfour seasons azure swordʼ, creating a huge ice sword that she slashed down towards Liu Jian.

Liu Jian smiled when he saw this while a layer of frost covered his own sword as well, turning into a huge sword that met Liu Meiʼs slash head-on.

The Elders of the ʼFloating Cloud sectʼ, including the Grand Elder Lang Hong, as well as Liu Changpun, all hurriedly flew away, not daring to stay within the radius of Liu Meiʼs and Liu Jianʼs fight.

As soon as the ʼfour seasons azure swordʼ met Liu Jianʼs sword however, the sound of ice crashing resounded above the ʼFloating Cloud sectʼ, and Liu Meiʼs huge ice sword started to crumble.

The layer of ice that was covering the ʼfour seasons azure swordʼsʼ surface was quickly destroyed, revealing the blue swordʼs original appearance, while pushing Liu Mei back in the process.

At the same time, although the ice on Liu Jianʼs sword was cracked as well, it wasnʼt destroyed, and was quickly reformed a few moments later.

In the first exchange, Liu Mei was actually at a disadvantage!

ʼʼHahahahaha!ʼʼ

ʼʼHahaha! Despite your cultivation being higher than fatherʼs, it seems that your comprehension of the Dao of Ice isnʼt even close to his own!ʼʼ

It wasnʼt just Liu Changpun who had noticed this, but Lan Hong as well as the other Elders, who looked at the scene in front of them without any shock in their eyes.

No matter what, it was impossible for Liu Meiʼs comprehension of the Dao of Ice to reach the same level as Liu Jianʼs within a year.

Even though her cultivation was higher, in a direct exchange she was put on the back foot.

Liu Jian didnʼt miss this chance, and continued to counterattack, as he relentlessly slashed his white sword at Liu Mei again and again, forcing her to defend and take a passive position.

The ice on top of the ʼfour seasons azure swordʼ didnʼt even have enough time to reform itself, before it was quickly destroyed by Liu Jianʼs powerful attacks.

Indeed, when the difference in cultivation wasnʼt big, the comprehension of the Dao, the martial skills, as well as the type of the Dao itself, were the things that proved to be critical during a fight.

As Liu Jian pushed Liu Mei further and further, he said in a low voice

ʼʼThis is the result of advancing hastily in your cultivation. No matter what, your comprehension of the Dao must always be at the same level as your cultivation base.

Otherwise, even after reaching the middle stages of the Spirit realm, you will lose even when you fight against average early-stage Spirit realm cultivators.ʼʼ

Narrowing her eyes, Liu Mei didnʼt reply to Liu Jian, and instead, she raised the ʼfour seasons azure swordʼ as she took Liu Jianʼs hit head-on.

Despite being a peak rank 2 silver grade sword fighting against a rank 1 gold grade weapon, Liu Jianʼs huge ice sword sent Liu Mei flying in the sky, making her hands feel pain in the process after blocking the hit.

However, Liu Mei still suppressed the pain she was feeling, and with a cold look in her eyes, she gathered her qi in her right hand, where a black ball of qi slowly took form.
