Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 308 There is no such grandmaster in the world
Xu Kaitian felt a sudden sense of alarm and reached for his sword, but before he could draw it, a silver thread pierced through the top of his head, causing his body to go limp and collapse onto his concubine.

The newly acquired concubine, thinking he was playing a prank, giggled and reached out to push him away. But she found Xu Kaitian's eyes were lifeless; he was already dead. A thought flashed through her mind, and she cried out, "Master is about to have a stroke! Master is about to have a stroke..."

The old constable shook his head, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and drifted away.

Huangfu Zi's face was ashen. His pleasure boat had traveled through several rivers, which was why he was late. But he didn't expect that Elder Xu Kaitian would be killed as soon as he arrived. Of the three Innate Realm elders who came to the Mirror Flower Sword Boat, two were already dead, leaving only Elder Hou, a middle-aged woman, who was trembling in front of him.

They specifically target those with innate talent to kill—that's terrifying!

When Duanmu Xianling and Lu Chaoxiu left, they also mentioned this matter in a roundabout way. At that time, Elder Hou thought that the two of them were making a mountain out of a molehill. With several Xiantian Realm experts and a bunch of first and second-grade masters around, who would dare to come?
Well, King Harsha was an exception.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, someone killed Xu Kaitian in one move, striking him with sword energy that hit him so hard that Xu Kaitian didn't even have to draw his sword.

Huangfu Zi suppressed his anger. There were only a few people at the Innate Realm in the Mirror Flower Sword Boat, and he couldn't afford to lose Elder Hou. He said calmly, "You can stay on my painted boat for now. I will definitely find out the murderer."

Elder Hou breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little apprehensive. She was already over forty when she advanced to the Innate Realm, so she looked a bit older. But Huangfu Zi had a peculiar habit: she was exclusively attracted to older women...

When Sun Yanwan, Ba Tianmo, and Wuyinghou received the news, all three were shocked. They were not surprised that Xu Kaitian had been killed, but rather by the method of the murder.

Ba Tianmo stroked his chin and said, "This person must be a grandmaster, but there is no such grandmaster in the world. His martial arts..."

Ba Tianmo pondered for a while and said, "It's a bit like the Wind Ancestor of the Songyang Sect. Your Songyang Sect's Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray can do just that."

Sun Yanwan said helplessly, "My teacher cultivates the Three Yang Qianyan Divine Art and has never cultivated the Xuanhuang Scripture. I do cultivate the Xuanhuang Scripture, but we've been together these past few days. Where have we found the time to kill someone? I don't know any magic to create clones. Besides, I'm only at the Innate Realm. How could I so easily kill an Innate Realm cultivator with a single move?"

Ba Tianmo and Wuying Hou looked at Sun Yanwan together, both shocked, and asked, "You've mastered the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray?"

Sun Yanwan was somewhat bewildered and said, "I cultivate the Xuanhuang Scripture and have mastered the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray. Isn't that a given? I've been at the Innate Realm for so long. Shouldn't I be able to make some progress?"

Both Ba Tianmo and Wuying Hou thought to themselves, "Where the hell does this come from? This is anything but a given!"

"It's been so many years since I last saw Tao Xuanzhang, and he still hasn't mastered the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray?"

"This martial art is very difficult, okay?"

"We're allowing you to improve, but we didn't say you could improve like this!"

Ba Tianmo remained unconvinced and asked, "Could you demonstrate?"

Sun Yanwan pulled her hands together, and dozens of colorful threads danced gracefully between her palms. Ba Tianmo and Wuying Hou turned pale. Although they were both grandmasters, they knew they dared not take a direct hit from the Extinction Sword Qi.

Hmm, it should be called Extinction Sword Silk. To be able to condense one's inner strength to such an extent, and to change the five elements of true qi, it's like the first part of true qi is extremely cold, and the next part is extremely hot. Two forces, one icy and one cold, come one after the other. Then there is a fierce sword qi that can move mountains and uproot peaks. Who can withstand that?
Ba Tianmo thought to himself, "I can't compete with him in terms of palm strength. Even if my skill is deeper, it is not as refined as his sword energy. The palm strength of the Four Symbols Yuan Gong will be cut by the sword energy, and its power will be greatly reduced. I can only drag it out until his skill is exhausted."

Wuyinghou thought, "I must rely on my swift movements to fight him. Although there are many sword energies, I can always find a weakness. Fighting him head-on is not a wise move."

Looking across the world, the two of them were among the top masters. In an instant, they figured out how to break Sun Yanwan's martial arts, but they also realized that there was no quick way to defeat him. They could only rely on their own profound internal strength and swift movements to wear Sun Yanwan down.

Leaving aside their headaches, Sun Yanwan was also somewhat troubled. He hadn't expected that their expressions would be so different when he told them he had mastered the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray. He thought to himself, "I mentioned it to Xiao Diao'er and Sun Lingdie, so why didn't they react? These two old guys look so surprised. Is there something wrong with this skill?"

The three of them were chatting happily, but suddenly they fell silent.

After a while, Yang Diao'er brought in people and served tea and fruit platters. This little saintess of the Demonic Sect turned around and sat down next to Sun Yanwan, asking, "Do you know who exactly made the move?"

The three shook their heads together. This sword energy was incredibly refined, definitely belonging to a Grandmaster. However, none of the Grandmasters were actually skilled in sword energy techniques. Zhang Yuanqiao, Alan Tuo, Kong Chan, and Xuanming Daoist each had their own unique skills, and it was impossible for them to start practicing sword energy techniques midway through their training.

As for Hu Qingdi, no one even considered him. Firstly, Hu Qingdi had not appeared in the martial arts world for a long time, and secondly, the Hu family's Hunyuan Sword Qi technique was known throughout the world and was not of this kind.

At the very top, no one knew what martial arts the Great Master Ku was proficient in. The old master of Sword Mountain Villa was certainly proficient in sword energy, Yang Wuji knew the Great Heavenly Demon Blade, and the ancestor...

Well, everyone present thought that the old man must be dead.

First, he was challenged by Yang Wuji, and then he was ambushed and severely injured by "Alanda" using the Ten Powers of Tathagata. He may have been killed on the spot and his death was kept secret, or he may have been seriously injured and barely survived. But now he should be dead.

After all, the Heavenly Martial Illusionary World Law of the Zhang family of the Emperor is too famous, and the Second Prince has suddenly been promoted to Grandmaster. The truth is almost obvious.

Ba Tianmo sighed and said, "Although I can't believe it, if there's really no other answer, then it must be Mu Xianyuan who has made a move."

Wuyinghou thought it was impossible, but he really had no other explanation.

Sun Yanwan stated that she had no objections, and the three had reached a subtle consensus.

Ba Tianmo said in a deep voice, "A top-tier individual could easily take on five or six ordinary grandmasters, but the three of us are not ordinary grandmasters. As long as we don't separate, even Mu Xianyuan might not be able to kill us."

Sun Yanwan really wanted to say, "I'm not a grandmaster yet!"

But Wuying Hou clearly agreed with this, and added, "We also have Miss Yang Diao'er. She has now advanced to the Innate Realm, and her Xuanming Yinsha Technique is not to be trifled with."

Sun Yanwan thought to herself, "Diao'er is not someone to be trifled with, but her Xuanming Yinsha Skill is terrible. Her Heavenly Demon Skill and Divine Staff Technique are worth a look, but they are not suitable for public use!"
