Chapter 2406: The Arrogant Jijian Sect

Feeling the Killing Intent emanating from the Sword Qi, everyone present immediately shut their mouths.

In the Cultivation World, the strong have always been revered; only with sufficient strength can one have the right to speak. If one lacks strength, it's best to shut up early, otherwise, it's easy to lose one's life.

Just a moment ago, the surroundings were incredibly noisy, but now they instantly fell silent.

Ye Bufan led Xiaoqing to the edge of the crowd and looked forward. The speaker was a Young man in his twenties, whose lips were now curled up in a smug, cold smile.

Behind him were five or six other people. Although their numbers were not large, their Aura was extremely powerful.

The Young man retrieved his long sword and scanned the entire scene with an arrogant gaze.

"I am Duan Rui of Jijian Sect. Today, my Senior Brother Nangong is visiting Fairy Han Jian Xian Zi. No one is allowed to enter before my Senior Brother comes out, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

His words were extremely domineering, even incredibly arrogant.

"Oh my gosh, no wonder the sword technique just now was so powerful; turns out he's from Jijian Sect."

"This is too overbearing, isn't it? Why, just because their people went in, others aren't allowed…"

"What do you know? They have the capital to be overbearing. Jijian Sect is a Nine Star Sect in Tianwu State; we can't afford to provoke them…"

Everyone present was discussing animatedly, some angry, some disappointed, but upon hearing the name of Jijian Sect, no one dared to act rashly.

Most of the people who came here today to visit Fairy Han Jian Xian Zi were Young Disciples participating in the Genius Demon Battle, all under twenty-five years old.

Duan Rui's cultivation had already reached the Dongxu Stage Middle Stage, and his sword technique was even more unfathomable. He was definitely a super-strong existence among the younger generation.

With the reputation of Jijian Sect combined with such formidable strength, generally, no one dared to provoke them.

However, among the many Young Disciples present, each was full of youthful vigor, and naturally, some were unconvinced.

"I'm not convinced! Why is your Jijian Sect so overbearing? Fairy Han Jian Xian Zi isn't yours, so why can't we see her?"

"Why? Just because of this sword in my hand!"

Duan Rui held the treasured sword in his hand and flicked it with his finger, producing a crisp clinking sound.

"Anyone who's unconvinced, step forward. As long as you can block three of my swords, you can enter. I will not stop you.

If you don't have that ability, then obediently get lost! What right do you ants have to see Fairy Han Jian Xian Zi!"

After he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent again.

"What an arrogant Jijian Sect! Then let me experience your sword technique!"

Duan Rui had already demonstrated his cultivation just now. His sword technique was fierce, and many people knew their own limits, knowing that they definitely couldn't block even one of his swords, let alone three.

Xiaoqing pouted, "So many people, how can they be intimidated by just one person? Wouldn't it be fine if everyone just ganged up on him?"

Ye Bufan shook his head with a smile, "There are some things you don't understand. Humans have their rules. Not to mention whether these people can win if they all go at once, even if they win, it would be an unfair victory.

Moreover, Jijian Sect's reputation is too great; many people dare not provoke them."

"You humans are too complicated. Just do what you want to do; why so much hesitation?"

Xiaoqing shook her little head and said, "Ye Dage, what are you waiting for? Just go up and knock him down, and it'll be over."

Ye Bufan nodded. Just as he was about to squeeze into the crowd, a furious roar came, "Young man, let me experience your Jijian Sect's sword technique!"

As soon as the voice fell, a tall Qingyi man walked out, his appearance extremely imposing.

He held a broadsword five feet long, looking majestic and full of Killing Intent.

Seeing someone get ahead of him, Ye Bufan stopped and stood by to watch the battle.

"Come on, let me see why you are so overbearing!"

The Qingyi man raised the broadsword in his hand and looked at Duan Rui with sharp eyes.

Everyone around them retreated, clearing a wide space for the two to fight.

"Looking for death? Then I'll grant your wish!"

Duan Rui roared, and the treasured sword in his hand slashed out a heaven-shaking Sword Qi, the famous Thousand Blades Slash of Jijian Sect.

This sword strike tore through the sky, instantly transforming into hundreds of sword blades, carrying overwhelming Killing Intent as it slashed towards the Qingyi man.

"Break for me!"

The Qingyi man's expression changed slightly, then he also exerted his full strength, slashing out with the broadsword in his hand.

Both were powerful Cultivators in the Void Tempering Stage, and their speed was astonishing when they moved. In almost an instant, the first sword light collided with the broadsword.

"Clang!"

With a harsh clang of metal, the Qingyi man was slashed back seven or eight steps. The broadsword in his hand hummed, and a thumb-sized chip was left on its blade.

That wasn't all; before the Qingyi man could recover, the second sword light was already before him, colliding with the broadsword again.

This was precisely the terrifying aspect of Thousand Blades Slash; there was almost no interval between each sword light, giving no chance for one to catch their breath.

This time, the Qingyi man directly flew backward over ten meters, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood with a "wah" sound, his eyes filled with terror.

Immediately after, the third sword arrived with a "crunch," and the broadsword could no longer withstand such dense and violent attacks, breaking directly into two pieces.

Under the terrified gaze of everyone, the fourth sword light swept past, and the Qingyi man's sword-wielding arm flew high into the air, a column of blood gushing out.

He was terrified to the extreme; at this moment, he had no Battle Intent left and turned to flee.

Unfortunately, it was too late. He was instantly submerged by countless sword lights, and then a puff of blood mist appeared before everyone.

The poor Qingyi Cultivator not only lost in one move but also didn't even leave a complete corpse, and his Primordial Spirit was shattered.

A silence fell over the scene. Although everyone had known Duan Rui was formidable before, they hadn't expected him to be formidable to such an extent.

The Qingyi man was a powerful Cultivator in the Void Tempering Stage after all, yet he couldn't even block one move and ended up so tragically.

Duan Rui retrieved his long sword and looked at everyone present with a cold smile.

"Is there anyone else unconvinced? Those who aren't afraid of death, step forward!"

This fellow was confident and full of assurance, not putting anyone present in his eyes at all.

At this, everyone fell silent. So powerful, so ruthless; even if everyone admired Fairy Han Jian Xian Zi, their own lives were ultimately more important.

The scene remained silent for a long time, and no one else stepped forward.

Everyone sighed. Most of the Genius Disciples from various Sects were busy adjusting their status and preparing for the upcoming competition.

Most of the people who came here had cultivation below the Void Tempering Stage and simply did not have the strength to fight against the opponent.

Duan Rui smiled triumphantly again. Blocking so many people by himself was definitely an extremely proud thing to boast about.

Just as everyone thought that today's events would end this way, suddenly a Young man walked out with a loli little girl.

The two of them walked straight towards Duan Rui without stopping or hesitation.

Ye Bufan said coldly, "Get out of the way; a good dog doesn't block the path!"

The silence was instantly broken, and everyone was in an uproar.

"Oh my gosh, who is this guy? He actually dares to speak to a Nine Star Sect Disciple like that…"

"Is this guy crazy? Isn't he looking for death?"

"It's over. I see his cultivation is only in the Refining Void Realm; he probably can't even block one of their swords…"

Everyone was discussing animatedly, all thinking that this Young man must be crazy.

Duan Rui's expression instantly turned cold. As a Core Disciple of a Nine Star Sect, this was the first time he had been so underestimated.

"Young man, since you want to die, I'll send you on your way!"

After saying that, the long sword in his hand once again unleashed a heaven-shaking Sword Qi, slashing down from the sky with overwhelming Killing Intent.
