Chapter 2234: Chapter 2232: Sword Sect Third Disciple

The Sword Sect Three Sons!

This was an inheritance in the Northern State Territory that was neither big nor small, named: Sword Sect.

As for the origin of this inheritance, it was rumored that in the Ancient Times, a Martial Artist obtained a Divine Sword refined by a powerhouse at the Half-step Saint Realm. After learning some swordsmanship Divine Skills from it, he then founded the ”Sword Sect”. However, ever since the Sword Sect was established, this Sect had always been obscure. Although in the Northern State Territory everyone knew there was such an inheritance, no one ever took it seriously, until ten years ago, when the four publicly acknowledged strongest young Martial Artists of the Northern State Territory—Dao Yu, Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, Bai Wuji—decided to use one battle to determine who was the strongest among the younger generation of the Northern State Territory. And at that time, three young Martial Artists appeared; they were the Sword Sect Three Sons!

When the Sword Sect Three Sons appeared, they indeed made many people feel astonished. Why? Because these three guys were like triplets, looking exactly the same, even their attire was exactly the same. Each of them carried a Longsword on their back. The moment they appeared, they bluntly told everyone that they had come to challenge Yu Jianzi, Dao Yu, Bai Wuji and Zhao Tianqi. When the Sword Sect Three Sons spoke these words, many people on the scene who were watching this battle between young Martial Artists burst into loud laughter, all feeling that these Sword Sect Three Sons were simply bragging shamelessly, completely ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!

Because everyone knew how monstrous Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, Bai Wuji, Dao Yu were. Let alone among the younger generation of Martial Artists—they rarely met an equal—even among the older generation of Martial Artists, these four guys could still fight them. This was already far beyond mere talent. Ten years ago, there were virtually no young Martial Artists who dared to challenge these four anymore, because anyone who dared challenge them would end up with body and spirit annihilated, soul scattered!

And at that time, many people present could clearly see that the Sword Sect Three Sons did not emit any particularly powerful aura, and their Cultivation Realm was only Early-stage Martial Saint. Back then, whether it was Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, Bai Wuji or Dao Yu, all of them were at the Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, and their combat power was something that surpassed their Cultivation Realm, utterly defying the heavens. Martial Artists at the Early-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm were truly unable to withstand a single blow before them; however many went up was however many might die!

Yet, just when no one expected it, when the Sword Sect Three Sons struck together and separately fought Zhao Tianqi, Yu Jianzi, Dao Yu, Bai Wuji, it not only astonished these four publicly acknowledged strongest young Martial Artists of the Northern State Territory, but also shocked the surrounding spectators endlessly. Because they never imagined that this inconspicuous Sword Sect Three Sons, each only at the Early-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, could actually fight a battle on equal footing with these four strongest young Martial Artists of the Northern State Territory. Although the Sword Sect Three Sons did not defeat Yu Jianzi and the others, the potential they displayed, that terrifying Sword Qi, made everyone feel utterly amazed!

It’s easy to imagine: with only an Early-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, yet able to separately battle Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, Dao Yu, Bai Wuji—how astounding that was. This was not as simple as that kind of inflated Cultivation Realm like in the battle between Princess Zi Xuan and Mo Huan. The four—Yu Jianzi and the others—being praised as the strongest young Martial Artists in the Northern State Territory was absolutely no exaggeration. Their combat power was above the Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm; when facing Martial Artists at the Early-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, they could simply slaughter them like ants. Yet they were unable to kill the Sword Sect Three Sons, and only fought them to a draw. Only Bai Wuji managed to defeat the Sword Sect Three Sons, but even he failed to kill them! ℴ

However, it was precisely that battle that made the Sword Sect Three Sons’ name resound throughout the entire Northern State Territory. Because over these many years, the struggle for supremacy among the younger generation of Martial Artists in the Northern State Territory had been extremely brutal; anyone who lost ended up with body and spirit annihilated, soul scattered. In such a bloody situation, Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, Dao Yu, Bai Wuji, these four strongest Martial Artists, were born. Later, among the younger Martial Artists, no one dared challenge them anymore. Indeed, these four guys were far too monstrous—this could be seen clearly from Ye Tianchen’s battle with them!

After that battle, the Sword Sect Three Sons left without settling life and death with Yu Jianzi and the others, and Yu Jianzi’s group, although wanting to fight on, did not pursue them. But from that moment on, the Sword Sect Three Sons’ name shook the Northern State Territory, and that previously inconspicuous Sect, Sword Sect, was remembered by many. The Sword Sect Three Sons were hailed as the Martial Artists in the Northern State Territory most likely to catch up to and even surpass Yu Jianzi and the others!

”Sword Sect Three Sons, you three have always stuck together, and whenever you make a move you do it together. I wonder if you are truly that strong?” Princess Zi Xuan looked at the Sword Sect Three Sons and asked calmly.

”Hmph, to deal with you, Zi Xuan, it’s not necessary for our Sword Sect Three Sons to strike together. I alone am more than enough!” The Sword Sect’s eldest son snorted coldly and spoke with disdain.

”Big brother, there’s no need for you to act. I can settle her myself!” The Sword Sect’s Two Sons sneered and said.

”Big brother, second brother, I haven’t attacked alone in a long time. Give me this chance, will you? Although she is very weak, she’s still the Sect Leader of Flying Flower Zen Temple now. If I kill the Sect Leader of Flying Flower Zen Temple, my fame will shake the world again!” The Sword Sect’s Third Son chuckled darkly as he spoke.

Contempt, disdain, scorn!

This was the attitude of the Sword Sect Three Sons toward Princess Zi Xuan, making Princess Zi Xuan furrow her brows. She had also heard the rumors about the Sword Sect Three Sons: how they emerged ten years ago, coming out from the Sword Sect’s land of inheritance, separately battled Yu Jianzi, Dao Yu, Zhao Tianqi, Bai Wuji, and fought them to a draw. Although they failed to defeat these four monstrous young Martial Artists, that already was an extremely remarkable battle record. With such achievements, it meant that aside from those four, among the younger generation of Martial Artists in the Northern State Territory, the Sword Sect Three Sons were the strongest. Seeing it this way, Princess Zi Xuan very likely was not their match!

”Since that’s the case, then you, third brother, make a move. Don’t be careless. This woman may only be at the Early-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, but to be chosen as the new Sect Leader of Flying Flower Zen Temple, that old hag Sang Qing probably has some eye for talent. Finish it quickly; we’re still waiting to go get the Immortal Origin Liquid!” The Sword Sect’s eldest son glanced at his third brother and spoke very casually.

Seeing that big brother and second brother both approved of him attacking Princess Zi Xuan alone, the Sword Sect’s Third Son felt that he was about to stand out again. He immediately laughed delightedly and said, ”Relax, to deal with such a woman, ten moves will do. Within ten moves I can defeat her and kill her, body and spirit annihilated!”

”If you can do that, all the better!” The Sword Sect’s eldest son nodded and said.

Princess Zi Xuan frowned, staring coldly at the Sword Sect’s Third Son as he walked toward her. What puzzled Princess Zi Xuan was that this Third Son did not rush at her with a charge, but walked toward her step by step. Why was that? Was it contempt? Did he truly believe Princess Zi Xuan was not his opponent?

”It would be a pity to kill a woman like you; you are quite charming!” The Sword Sect’s Third Son said with a teasing smile.

”Hmph, I don’t mind killing you though!” Princess Zi Xuan snorted coldly.

”Hearing you say that makes me sad. I originally planned to kill you in ten moves, but now... five moves then!” The Sword Sect’s Third Son smiled with great confidence.

”There are many who boast, but most of them end up with body and spirit annihilated. You should be one of those.” Princess Zi Xuan replied without the slightest sign of weakness.

”Ah...” Before the Sword Sect’s Third Son finished speaking, he suddenly slashed out with one sword. The speed was extremely fast, such a fierce and swift Sword Qi that even Princess Zi Xuan was stunned, instinctively dodging. But as Princess Zi Xuan dodged, the Sword Sect’s Third Son had already closed in, wielding a Longsword that directly chopped toward Princess Zi Xuan’s head!

Who would have thought it? This Sword Sect Three Sons, who seemed to speak very casually and did not look like someone shrouded in killing intent or a vicious fiend, actually struck with such brutal ferocity, making people feel a chill in their hearts!

Smack!

Princess Zi Xuan could not dodge in time. Seeing that the Sword Sect’s Third Son’s Longsword was about to cut into her neck, she immediately struck out with a palm. The force of her palm landed on the Longsword in the Third Son’s hand, and Princess Zi Xuan instinctively exerted strength in a jolt, intending to shatter it. Who knew, the Sword Sect’s Third Son swiftly withdrew his Longsword, and with his left hand he condensed Martial Arts True Qi, which turned into a strand of Sword Qi that slashed toward Princess Zi Xuan!

Poof!

The speed was too fast, almost not giving anyone time to react. Even Ye Tianchen, who was sitting cross-legged behind Princess Zi Xuan, opened his eyes and looked at this Sword Sect’s Third Son, frowning slightly, seemingly feeling that this Sword Sect Three Sons were not simple!

Princess Zi Xuan still managed to dodge, but the sleeve on her left arm was torn open by a slit—that was caused by the Sword Sect’s Third Son’s Sword Qi. Had she not dodged in time, Princess Zi Xuan’s entire left arm would have been chopped off. It had truly been dangerous just now!

”I didn’t expect you to have some strength; your dodging speed is quite fast. Killing a woman like you is really a pity. How about becoming my Taoist couple? What do you say?” The Sword Sect’s Third Son asked with a lewd laugh.

Princess Zi Xuan froze for a moment. She looked at the Longsword in the Sword Sect’s Third Son’s hand, which continuously carried a surge of powerful Sword Qi, and she felt a jolt of surprise in her heart. Don’t be fooled by the Sword Sect Three Sons’ seemingly mere Early-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm; in reality, their combat power gave people a feeling of being unfathomable...
