Chapter 123: The Might of the Sword Cultivator

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen arrived faster than expected.

Three days later, in the early morning, Su Yun was drinking tea in the courtyard when Zhou Yuanshuang walked in hurriedly.

"Master, they have arrived. They are ten miles outside the city."

Su Yun put down his teacup.

"How many people?"

Zhou Yuanshuang said:

"Only three. Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen, and two women, both at the Peak Golden Core Stage."

Su Yun raised an eyebrow.

"Three Peak Golden Core Stage cultivators, and they dare to come looking for me?"

Zhou Yuanshuang shook her head.

"Master, Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen is different. Although he is at the Peak Golden Core Stage, the combat power of the Sword Cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion far exceeds those of the same rank. He once, with one person and one sword, beheaded three Mid Nascent Soul Stage experts."

Su Yun stood up.

"Then let's go take a look."

He walked out of the courtyard and soared into the air.

Ten miles outside the city, three figures stood on an open field.

The leader was dressed in white, carrying a long sword on his back, with a cold and stern expression. Standing there, he looked like an unsheathed sword, his sharpness fully exposed.

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen.

Behind him stood two women, also dressed in white and carrying long swords. One had a cold temperament, with brows like frost. The other had a gentle face with a faint smile.

Su Yun landed ten zhang in front of him.

"Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen?"

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen looked at him, his gaze sharp.

"Su Yun?"

Su Yun smiled.

"What business do you have with me?"

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen said:

"The Immortal Alliance sent me to test your depth."

He raised his hand, and the long sword on his back unsheathed, landing in his palm.

"Draw your sword."

Su Yun shook his head.

"I don't have a sword."

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen frowned slightly.

"Then what will you use?"

Su Yun raised his hand.

"I'll use this."

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen stopped wasting words.

He slashed out with his sword.

The sword light was like snow, impossibly fast.

Su Yun dodged to the side; the sword light brushed past him, leaving a deep trench on the ground behind him.

What a fast sword.

Su Yun narrowed his eyes.

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen's second sword was already there.

This time, three swords were fired simultaneously, the three beams of sword light sealing off all his retreat paths.

Su Yun advanced instead of retreating.

He surged with ice-blue light and struck out with a palm.

Bang!

The three sword lights exploded, and the air waves surged.

A look of surprise flashed in Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen's eyes.

"You have some skill."

He gripped his sword with both hands, and a dazzling white light lit up on the blade.

"Heavenly Sword Art, One Sword Slashes Mountains and Rivers."

He swung his sword down.

The sword light transformed into a hundred-zhang-long white ribbon, slashing down towards Su Yun!

This sword was enough to split mountains and crack rocks.

Su Yun did not retreat.

The Power of the Five Elements within him circulated wildly as he threw a punch!

Boom!!!

The fist force collided with the sword light, exploding into a visible ring of air waves.

The ground cracked, and gravel flew.

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen retreated three steps, and Su Yun also retreated three steps.

The two looked at each other simultaneously.

A look of gravity finally appeared in Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen's eyes.

"You are truly not simple."

Su Yun flexed his wrists.

"You are not bad either."

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen took a deep breath.

"The next sword is my strongest Move. If you can take it, I will admit defeat."

He gripped his sword with both hands, and the light on the blade became brighter and brighter.

The two women's expressions changed, and they hurriedly retreated.

"Senior Brother is going to use that Move."

Su Yun narrowed his eyes.

He could feel that the power of this sword far exceeded the previous ones.

With a thought, two figures in his Sea of Consciousness opened their eyes simultaneously.

True Monarch Bingpo.

Blood-colored Girl.

Their power surged into his body.

Ice-blue and blood-red lights intertwined around him.

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen's sword slashed down.

"Heavenly Sword Art, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect."

One sword transformed into ten thousand swords.

Countless beams of sword light descended from the sky, covering the sky and earth as they pierced towards Su Yun!

Each beam of sword light was enough to kill a Peak Golden Core Stage expert.

Su Yun looked up at those sword lights.

He raised his hand.

He threw a punch.

This punch condensed all of his power.

Power of the Five Elements, Thunder Spirit Power, Ice Soul Power, Blood Fiend Power, the four powers combined into one.

Boom!!!

The fist force collided with the ten thousand swords, exploding into a dazzling light.

The light dissipated.

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen stood in place, his face pale, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The sword in his hand had broken into two pieces.

Su Yun stood opposite him, his robes slightly disheveled, but he was uninjured.

He looked at Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen.

"You lost."

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I lost."

He turned to look at the two women.

"Junior Sisters, let's go."

The two women hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Just then, Su Yun spoke.

"Wait."

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen turned back.

"Anything else?"

Su Yun looked at the two women behind him.

"They stay, you can go."

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen's expression changed.

"What do you mean?"

Su Yun smiled.

"I mean, you go back and tell the Immortal Alliance to keep sending people. These two Junior Sisters will be considered the spoils of this battle."

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen gripped his broken sword tightly.

"In your dreams!"

He took a step forward, wanting to fight to the death.

But just as he moved, Zhou Yuanshuang and Zhou Yuanmin were already blocking his path.

The pressure of two Early Nascent Soul Stage experts was released, suppressing him so he couldn't Move.

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen's face turned livid.

The two women looked at each other, and one of them spoke.

"Senior Brother, you go. We will stay."

It was the gentle-faced woman who spoke. She looked at Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen with a calm gaze.

"The Immortal Alliance's mission has failed, you go back to report. We will be fine."

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen gritted his teeth.

"Qingshuang."

The other cold woman also spoke.

"Senior Brother, listen to Qingshuang. Your staying is useless, it's better to go back and report."

Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen looked at them, his eyes reddening.

Eventually, he lowered his head.

"I will come back to save you."

He turned and left, disappearing into the distance.

The two women stood in place, looking at Su Yun.

Su Yun walked up to them.

"What are your names?"

The gentle-faced woman said:

"My name is Lin Qingshuang, and she is Lin Qingxue. We are sisters."

Su Yun nodded.

"Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion?"

Lin Qingshuang said:

"Yes. We are Junior Sisters of Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen."

Su Yun looked at her.

Peak Golden Core Stage, good-looking, and good temperament.

He raised his hand and tapped Lin Qingshuang's glabella with one finger.

Golden light flashed.

[Enslavement successful]

[New slave acquired: Lin Qingshuang, Loyalty 58]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining partial spiritual power feedback from Enslavement, cultivation has greatly increased]

Lin Qingshuang's body stiffened, the wariness in her eyes gradually turning into obedience.

She lowered her head.

"Master."

Lin Qingxue's expression changed.

"What did you do to my sister?"

Su Yun looked at her.

"You will know soon."

He raised his hand and tapped Lin Qingxue's glabella with one finger.

Golden light flashed.

[Enslavement successful]

[New slave acquired: Lin Qingxue, Loyalty 61]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining partial spiritual power feedback from Enslavement, cultivation has greatly increased]

Lin Qingxue's body stiffened, the shock and anger in her eyes gradually turning into confusion.

She looked at Su Yun, her lips moving.

"Master."

Su Yun withdrew his hand.

In his Dantian, two massive streams of feedback spiritual power were pouring in.

Two Peak Golden Core Stage cultivators; the feedback spiritual power was much more than those previous Mid Golden Core Stage ones.

He closed his eyes, feeling his cultivation climbing.

His Peak Golden Core Stage progressed significantly further.

He was getting closer and closer to the Nascent Soul Stage.

He opened his eyes and looked at Lin Qingshuang.

"Besides you two, how many female cultivators are there in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion?"

Lin Qingshuang thought for a moment.

"There aren't many female cultivators in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, less than a hundred in total. Most are at the Golden Core Stage, and there are over a dozen at the Nascent Soul Stage."

Su Yun nodded.

"Go back and tell them to wait for me."

Lin Qingshuang was stunned.

"Does Master want to attack the Heavenly Sword Pavilion?"

Su Yun smiled.

"No rush. One by one."

He turned and flew towards Qinghe City.

Behind him, Lin Qingshuang and Lin Qingxue looked at each other and followed silently.

Back in the courtyard, Zhou Ruoyun was waiting for him.

The little girl saw him return and flew over.

"Brother Su, you've taken in so many more people!"

Su Yun caught her and rubbed her hair.

"Only two."

Zhou Ruoyun looked at the two women in white behind him, her eyes bright.

"They are so pretty."

Su Yun smiled.

"They will be even prettier in the future."

He carried Zhou Ruoyun into the house.

In the courtyard, Lin Qingshuang and Lin Qingxue stood at the entrance, their expressions complex.

They watched that disappearing back, and a strange feeling surged in their hearts.

They knew that from now on, their lives had completely changed.

But strangely, they did not resist this change.

They even felt a faint sense of anticipation.

The night wind blew, and the courtyard was quiet.

In the distance, there was a faint glimmer of light on the horizon.

That was the direction of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

The next target was already on the way.
