Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 173 Flaming Blade
A moment later, as the poisonous smoke silently seeped into the air and drifted towards the people on the nameless island below, Shen Ping'an and Zhang San Niang and the others watched quietly from their high vantage point.

Meanwhile, the group from Xiuyu Valley vaguely sensed a faint fragrance of osmanthus in the air around them, causing their breathing to become slightly longer.

As the masked man and Wei Wuyuan flashed in front of the crowd, everyone from the nameless island outside Xiuyu Valley turned around and focused their gazes on the two beautiful figures that were rapidly approaching.

A short while later, when the two sides were still ten feet apart, Yaoyue and Lianxing gracefully descended from the sky.

His cold gaze first swept over the group of people who were blocking the entrance to Xiuyu Valley.

When her gaze fell upon the dozens of corpses of Yihua Palace disciples piled haphazardly on the ground at the entrance of Xiuyu Valley, their bodies exposed to the sunlight, Yaoyue's killing intent was so intense that everyone could feel it.

Looking at Yaoyue, who seemed unapproachable under the influence of killing intent, Wei Wuyuan's infatuation only increased, and he couldn't help but say, "Yaoyue, you've finally come."

Upon hearing Wei Wuya's voice, both Yaoyue and Lianxing instinctively looked towards him.

However, the moment the two women's eyes fell upon Wei Wuyuan's ugly face, they both felt as if their eyes had been pricked by needles.

The two women unconsciously frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in their eyes, before quickly shifting their gaze elsewhere.

But this simple act of shifting his gaze caused Wei Wuya, who had just unconsciously smiled, to feel a deep sting.

His face instantly darkened, and the intoxication in his eyes turned into extreme hatred.

It looks distorted and ferocious, like a hungry wolf waiting to devour its prey.

But the next second, for some unknown reason, Wei Wuyuan's face broke into a smile again.

“Yaoyue, I once said that I would definitely avenge the humiliation and injury I suffered back then one day.”

"Today, now, you have finally fallen into my hands."

Upon hearing the words, Yaoyue narrowed her eyes slightly.

"You dare to seek revenge against me? You're not worthy!"

After letting out a cold snort, he raised his right hand and slapped it directly at Wei Wuyuan in mid-air.

With his true energy surging, the palm force, mixed with unique energy and sword intent, transformed into a palm shadow three zhang in size in the air and slammed towards Wei Wuyuan.

With her fifth-level Heavenly Gang Realm cultivation mixed with sword intent, Yaoyue's palm strike was extremely powerful.

This caused Wei Wuyuan, whose cultivation level was only at the first level of the Heavenly Gang Realm, to change his expression drastically.

But the next instant, the masked man next to Wei Wuyuan suddenly stepped forward and threw a punch.

The seemingly soft fist shattered the palm strike that Yaoyue had unleashed in anger the moment it touched the palm shadow in the air.

"Ninth level of Tiangang realm?"

Feeling the fluctuations of true energy emanating from the man's body, Yaoyue narrowed her eyes slightly.

Just then, Lianxing transmitted her voice through her true energy: "Sister, something's not right. The person leading this group is only at the ninth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm."

Not only Lianxing, but Yaoyue also felt that she was in love with the wrong person.

It should be noted that, like the Divine Sword Manor, the Yihua Palace has stood in the martial arts world for hundreds of years.

In the Yihua Palace, apart from Yaoyue Lianxing's master, there are several other Supreme Elders whose cultivation has reached the Celestial Realm.

With the strength of the palace master and several supreme elders at the Celestial Realm, dealing with these people would be a piece of cake.

But now they've been surrounded by these guys.

Or perhaps the experts at the Celestial Realm on the Nameless Island are hiding among the crowd and haven't revealed themselves.

Either something unexpected happened within the Yihua Palace, leaving the experts at the Celestial Realm level too busy to deal with these people.

If it's the former, that's fine; if it's the latter...
Thinking of this, Yaoyue looked at Lianxing and said, "Go back to the palace and check the situation first."

Knowing that Yaoyue was worried, Lianxing immediately nodded in agreement.

The two men's nonchalant attitude and actions caused not only the other people on the nameless island to narrow their eyes, but even the masked man's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Ha! I've long heard that the two palace masters of Yihua Palace are arrogant and look down on everyone. Seeing them today, I can confirm that the rumors are true."

"In front of so many of us, I'd like to see how you two manage to enter the Yihua Palace." But upon hearing the masked man's words, Yaoyue and Lianxing glanced at him with disdain in their eyes.

Lianxing circulated her inner energy, and her figure moved gracefully like a kite, quickly moving towards the entrance of Xiuyu Valley.

Seeing Lianxing rushing straight towards him, the masked man's eyes narrowed slightly, and anger gathered deep within them.

"Humph!"

After letting out a heavy snort, the masked man gently raised his hand, and several martial artists at the Heavenly Gang Realm immediately circulated their inner energy, preparing to intercept Lianxing.

However, at that moment, nine sword shadows, each three zhang in size, suddenly appeared out of thin air and hung high above everyone.

As the nine sword shadows trembled slightly, the sword cries echoed with unique rhythms, and sound waves rippled outwards like waves on the surface of water.

Seeing the ripples rushing towards them in an instant, all the people from the Nameless Island and the Twelve Constellations present keenly sensed something was wrong and subconsciously circulated their true energy to protect themselves.

However, as the sound waves rippled towards him, the masked man felt a force suddenly appear and slam into him.

This caused his internal energy and heartbeat to stop for a moment, and his internal organs felt as if they had been hit by a sledgehammer.

If the masked man, whose cultivation level was already at the ninth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm, was like this, let alone others.

"Puff puff"

In an instant, nearly 90% of the people in this Embroidered Jade Valley were coughing up blood.

But Lianxing, who floated gracefully in the air like a fairy, seemed completely unaffected, as if nothing had happened.

With a light touch of his toes, he leaped over everyone's heads and headed deep into the Embroidered Jade Valley.

Seeing this, one of the Heavenly Gang Realm warriors who had stepped forward to attack Lianxing, a middle-aged man with a scar on his right cheek, tried to intervene.

But as the man gathered his energy and leaped into the air, the nine sword shadows in the air trembled once more, and an invisible sonic blade shot towards the scarred man like an arrow.

The sonic blade, a blend of internal energy, sword energy, and the force of a mountain, rushed towards the scarred man. In an instant, it tore through the man's protective aura with overwhelming force, then passed through his waist, splitting his body in two, and causing him to fall helplessly from the air.

Upon seeing this, the few people on the nameless island who were still planning to intercept Lianxing trembled and abandoned the idea.

Meanwhile, the masked man on the nameless island kept glancing around, not daring to make a move against Lianxing rashly.

And so, Lianxing, her body like a flying feather, leaped over the thousands of people blocking the Xiuyu Valley and plunged into its depths.

As Lianxing entered the Yihua Palace, the masked man still failed to recognize the person who had suddenly attacked earlier.

In response, the masked man could only say in a deep voice, "Since you have already made your move, why continue to hide? Why not show yourself?"

But after the voice fell, there was no response for a long time.

Only the nine sword shadows and sword sounds above everyone's heads echoed, bringing with them melodious rhythms.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz"

Just then, the sword cries emanating from the nine sword shadows above everyone's heads suddenly became more intense.

At the same time, ripples spread out again from the nine sword shadows.

But this time, the sound waves created nine ripples.

The nine ripples, layer upon layer, seemed inconspicuous, yet they sent chills down the spines of those present.

Even the masked man was startled when he saw the nine ripples spreading out in an instant.

But after glancing at the group of people from the nameless island in Xiuyu Valley, the masked man cursed inwardly, then let out a low shout. As his true energy surged, he stepped forward, his palms glowing fiery red.

Then, the masked man raised his palm as a knife and slashed out quickly. His true energy mixed with his internal energy formed blades that looked like condensed flames.

"The Flaming Blade?"

Shen Ping'an raised an eyebrow as he watched the masked man use his martial arts skills.
