This was originally a very strange move, but now it has become very domineering.

In Yue Lingshan’s hands, the entire execution of this move is a chaotic display of sword energy, with a wide attack range, making it an excellent choice for clearing monsters and mobs.

However, most second-generation disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect haven’t even truly mastered their internal energy yet, so how could they understand such advanced things as sword energy? Therefore, when they use this move, it’s truly unremarkable. Even if Yue Buqun came, he would rarely use it at full strength. Ordinary longswords not only have no effect on transmitting sword energy, but they might even break down because they can’t withstand the excessive internal energy. They can only use it sparingly.

Therefore, sword energy is rarely seen in ordinary bronze and silver ranks in the martial arts world, and it is also rare in gold ranks. Only in relatively high-level duels above diamond rank will sword energy fly around.

If the two people facing off now were Yue Buqun or Zuo Lengchan, it would be understandable. After all, they are representative figures of the Five Mountains Sword Sect and are renowned righteous masters in the martial arts world.

But who are these two people who are fighting now? One is Chu Yunfei, who castrated himself to cultivate the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual less than a year ago and whose family was brutally wiped out by bandits a year ago; the other is Yue Lingshan, the only daughter of Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sword Sect, who is only 16 years old. At this age, she probably hasn’t even mastered her internal strength yet, let alone sword energy… Are you kidding me?

But in reality, this was a high-level duel at least at the diamond level, comparable to the pinnacle duel between the leaders of some powerful families and sects in the martial arts world. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were two fourth-rank masters.

In any case, almost no one in the martial arts world present could withstand any of their sword strikes.

Even Ning Zhongze didn’t think she could compete with them.

Ning Zhongze himself was a fifth-rank official. When he used the unparalleled Ning Clan Sword Technique, his sword energy could be as powerful as a dragon. However, this was limited to that one move. At most, he would add internal energy to it, but he was not so extravagant as to let his sword energy fly around randomly.

“This is the Huashan Sword Technique?”

“Not bad, this is the Huashan Sword Technique. The next move is ‘White Rainbow Piercing the Sun,’ be careful.”

After Yue Lingshan finished speaking, she directly controlled the sword with her finger, pointing forward at the hilt. Lingxu, which had been out of her grasp, seemed to suddenly have a soul, and was instantly drawn by a powerful internal force, shooting directly towards Chu Yunfei like a beam of light.

Completely unaware of this move, Chu Yunfei hastily attacked, attempting to counter with his Evil-Repelling Sword Qi. However, his Evil-Repelling Sword Qi was instantly pierced, and he was sent flying more than ten meters away. With a “boom,” he crashed into a large tree, spitting out blood. His face was as pale and weak as white paper, clearly indicating that he had suffered considerable internal injuries.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know this move would be so powerful. I just saw my junior brother use it and tried it out myself.” Yue Lingshan was a very kind-hearted girl who had never even killed anyone before, so she naturally didn’t want to cause any deaths.

In that instant, if Chu Yunfei hadn’t reacted quickly and blocked the suddenly thrusting sword tip with the body of his sword, he would have been injured by the sword energy but not pierced through by the sword. Otherwise, he would probably be dead by now.

“It’s alright. I have witnessed the power of the Huashan Sword Technique. The Huashan Sword Technique is indeed worthy of its reputation. However, the Huashan Sword Technique, which is the introductory sword technique of the Huashan Sword Sect, is so profound and extensive. I, Chu Yunfei, underestimated the heroes of the world before. I, Chu Yunfei, have lost this competition.”

“Alright, from now on you will be my sword slave, Zhang Lingyu’s sword slave. Shadow Tiger will belong to you from today onwards.”

After Zhang Weihao finished speaking, he gave Xue Qianxun a wink. Xue Qianxun immediately appeared in front of Chu Yunfei in a flash, poured out a pill from an exquisite small porcelain bottle, and handed it to Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei was taken aback at first, then swallowed it directly. He quickly discovered that it was not a poison that controlled people, but a miraculous medicine for healing. He felt that his original internal injuries were relieved a lot, and even his internal strength increased to a certain extent. It was indeed extraordinary.

In fact, both the Sunflower Manual and the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual require special elixirs for cultivation.

After all, the person who created this technique was a high-ranking eunuch in the imperial palace, who was not short of money and elixirs. The original intention of creating this technique was to use the principle of “heaven and man transforming” to complete his incomplete body (one of the twelve meridians was missing, so he could not circulate the great cycle and advance to the true innate state), so he invested a lot of money in it.

This was actually the reason why Lin Yuantu opened a security escort agency to do business.

Chu Yunfei practiced for almost a year but couldn’t advance any further, remaining stuck at around the fifth rank. This was actually related to his limited financial resources and lack of support.

Therefore, this secret medicine, besides being very nourishing and able to treat internal injuries, is also a miraculous medicine for enhancing one’s internal strength. Even if it is not as good as the Shaolin Great Rejuvenation Pill, it is still superior to the Shaolin Lesser Rejuvenation Pill.

Upon hearing Chu Yunfei concede defeat, Yue Lingshan was overjoyed to know that the sword would now belong to her. She hugged the sword and grinned foolishly, much like Fan Jin after passing the imperial examination.

However, her mother, Ning Zhong, quickly poured cold water on this newly debuted female knight of Mount Hua, telling her to return the sword to her junior brother, Zhang Weihao.

“No, Junior Brother promised me that if I win, this sword will be mine. No, it’s mine, it’s all mine, I don’t want it. Junior Brother, Mother is bullying me.” Ultimately, Yue Lingshan, still suppressed by her bloodline, could only turn to her good junior brother Zhang Weihai for help, hoping he would put in a good word for her.

In other respects, Ning Zhongze was easy to talk to, but not when it came to matters of principle. She righteously refused, saying, “Lingyu, take this sword back. Lingshan is still young. Such a divine weapon will only harm her and the entire Huashan Sword Sect.”

“What Master’s wife said makes sense. The sword is yours, Senior Sister, but I can’t give it to you now. When Senior Sister breaks through to the third rank on her own, the sword will be officially handed over to Senior Sister. Is that alright?”

Ning Zhongze thought for a moment. If his daughter could really break through to the third rank and become a master of the upper third rank, combined with a divine sword like Lingxu, she would probably be able to compete with even a second-rank innate expert. She could barely be considered to be able to protect such a divine weapon.

Their Huashan Sword Sect will truly bring glory to the family by then, so there’s really no need to be too demanding.

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan could only plead pitifully, “Then, on the way to Hengshan, with you and my junior brother there, can I play with the sword for a while? At worst… at worst, I’ll stay with you the whole time and absolutely won’t run off on my own?”
