Chapter 206

Although she won, Zhou Zhiruo was not happy because the Heaven Sword did not belong to her.

　　Actually, she really wanted to go to the wedding banquet with her older sister and the others, so she could get to know the number one young master in the martial arts world.

　　Unfortunately… the alliance meeting was scheduled for these few days, and as the successor and closed-door disciple of Abbess Miejue, she certainly couldn’t be absent.

　　”Alright, the disciples have finished their competitions. Now it’s our turn to test our martial arts skills against each other. This time, I will personally lead the team. I wonder which senior brother would like to come up and offer some guidance?” Abbess Miejue, wielding the Heaven-Slaying Sword, was always very assertive. With her sword in hand, she believed she was invincible.

　　Despite having many experts in the Emei Sect, including several at the Innate level and more than ten at the third or fourth rank, the undisputed second-best expert is Miejue, who wields the Yitian Sword and is virtually invincible below the Innate Grandmaster level.

　　The main function of innate energy is to circulate energy through the Great Circulation, transforming internal energy into innate true qi.

　　However, some masters, due to the special nature of their cultivation methods and martial arts skills, only need the Small Heavenly Circuit to be effective. The Large Heavenly Circuit would actually weaken their combat power, or even force them to switch to other cultivation methods, so they did not achieve a direct breakthrough.

　　This is also why some third-rank Acquired Grandmasters can be listed on the Martial Arts Ranking.

　　Extinction is a very special kind of acquired master.

　　Because the Emei Nine Yang Skill she practiced was incomplete and fragmented, and because her own techniques, whether swordplay or palm techniques, were all designed to complement the Emei Nine Yang Skill, coupled with the physiological characteristics of women, it was very difficult for her to break through. She was also reluctant to switch to other techniques, or rather, she was waiting for the Nine Yin Manual. Once yin and yang were in harmony, becoming a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, or even a Great Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, would not be difficult.

　　This was a secret known only to her, and it was also the reason why she went to great lengths to instigate the siege of Bright Peak by the eight major sects.

　　”Brother Yue, what do you think of this?”

　　”Brother Xianyu, please go first. I will be there shortly.” Yue Buqun would not make the first move. If the difference in strength was too great, he would continue to hide his strength. In any case, Xianyu Tong, the leader of the Huashan Sect, had already lost, so it was not surprising that he would lose as well.

　　Xianyu Tong was in a real awkward situation because he was not good at swordsmanship, and even if he were, he could not possibly compare with Miejue, who wielded the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

　　The Heaven-Slaying Sword can directly generate golden sword light, which has the effect of breaking through weapons. Even some famous divine weapons in the martial arts world will break upon contact. It has little to do with the strength of the swordsmanship. It is simply bullying people by relying on top-level equipment.

　　”Brother Yue, didn’t your nephew Lingyu give you any divine weapons for protection this time?”

　　Yue Buqun is deliberately avoiding Zhang Weihai now. How could he dare to ask Zhang Weihai for the divine weapon? Does he really think that the other party is easy to bully and would take him, his cheap master and cheap father-in-law, seriously? Yue Buqun doesn’t believe it at all.

　　”Lingyu is just learning martial arts on the mountain. He will be taking the test in a few months. He has no idea about this matter and has no intention of letting him participate. How could he have a divine weapon?”

　　I glanced at the sword at Yue Buqun’s waist. It didn’t really look like a divine weapon. Oh well, let’s see if we can fight without using swords.

　　When Xianyu Tong admitted he wasn’t good at swordsmanship and would only compete in hand techniques, the members of the Huashan Sect felt embarrassed for him, finding it quite shameful. How could the leader of the Huashan Sect say he wasn’t skilled in swordsmanship?

　　However, everyone had witnessed the terrifying power of the Heaven-Slaying Sword and knew that this was their sect leader, known as “Divine Strategist,” once again using his clever schemes.

　　Abbess Miejue had clearly dealt with Xianyu Tong before and knew his true strength, yet she actually agreed.

　　Primarily based on the Emei Nine Yang Skill, Abbess Miejue’s hand skills were also formidable.

　　Her palm techniques are called Annihilation Palm and Absolute Palm, and her sword techniques are called Annihilation Sword and Absolute Sword. This is also the origin of her Buddhist name “Extinction”. It is not the same as extinction of humanity. She herself is not bloodthirsty.

　　Seeing that Miejue had actually agreed, Xianyu Tong was overjoyed. Feeling confident that he was in charge again, he immediately launched a close-quarters attack, using one of the Huashan School’s seventy-two moves, “Eagle and Snake Life and Death Struggle.”

　　He closed his folding fan, holding it in his right hand to reveal the sharp handle shaped like a snake’s head, while his left hand used the Eagle Claw style; his right hand used the snake’s head to strike and stab, while his left hand used grappling and twisting techniques, the moves of his two hands were completely different.

　　This “Eagle and Snake Life-or-Death Struggle” is a unique skill passed down in the Huashan School for over a hundred years. It combines the eagle’s soaring posture and the snake’s agile movements in a single move, exhibiting both speed and ruthlessness.

　　However, when strength is divided, it weakens. This martial art, when used against ordinary people, can make them unable to defend themselves, unable to attend to both sides.

　　After only a few exchanges, Abbess Miejue knew that her opponent was still the same as before. Although her moves were exquisite, her strength was insufficient, and she had not made any progress over the years.

　　Four Symbols Palm: A palm technique of the Emei School, combining roundness with squareness, yin and yang complementing each other. Abbess Miejue always considered it the ultimate martial art in the world.

　　The Emei School’s Four Symbols Palm is round within square, with yin and yang complementing each other. The round outer part is yang, and the square inner part is yin. The round and moving part is heaven, and the square and still part is earth. The yin and yang of heaven and earth, the square and round, the moving and still, seem to be slightly superior to the “Eagle and Snake Life and Death Struggle” move, which is derived from the theory of positive and negative yin and yang.

　　Unfortunately, Abbess Miejue cultivated pure Yang internal energy, which prevented her from harmonizing Yin and Yang, thus preventing her from unleashing the true power of this palm technique.

　　The combination of the Annihilation Palm and the Absolute Palm is her self-created technique, Universal Buddha Light.

　　This is a palm technique based on the Emei School’s Nine Yang Skill, where the palm force covers the enemy’s entire body, making it impossible for the opponent to block.

　　Throughout the entire Emei Sect, no one except Abbess Miejue has mastered it.

　　So when Extinction emanated golden Buddhist light and unleashed a giant golden palm, Xianyu Tong was completely dumbfounded and was instantly sent flying by Extinction’s palm.

　　To deal with such trash, the Extinction Sword is really unnecessary.

　　”Sect Leader Xianyu has already been defeated, and now it’s Sect Leader Yue’s turn. Would you also like to compete with this humble nun in palm techniques?”

　　”Since the Huashan Sword Sect is a sword sect, it naturally uses swords. Please enlighten us, Master.” Yue Buqun decided to have a proper competition to measure the difference between them.

　　Yue Buqun would certainly not use the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique; he would use the Huashan Sword Technique, specifically the upper-level Huashan Sword Technique, the Taiyue Three Green Peaks.

　　This is a unique skill created by Yue Buqun, a sword technique of the Huashan Qi Sect.

　　Its characteristic is to quickly attack the enemy with three sword strikes. The power depends on one’s own true qi. If the true qi is strong enough, it can directly generate a ten-meter sword aura.
