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

Chapter 181: But he couldn't even withstand the next move.

As soon as the words were spoken, two figures slowly floated down from the sky and landed in the courtyard.

It was Kong Qingyan and another Supreme Elder whom they had just seen in the Hundred Flowers Hall.

Kong Qingyan's gaze fell on Shen Ping'an, who sat calmly on the stone bench, exuding a sense of tranquility and composure. Even Kong Qingyan had to admit that the demeanor and appearance of this junior in front of her were indeed worthy of the word "unparalleled".

"As expected of the renowned Young Master Yu, whose reputation in the martial arts world has been unparalleled in recent years, he was able to discover the two of us so easily."

As she spoke, Kong Qingyan sat down with another Supreme Elder of Yihua Palace.

"However, I am very curious, since Young Master Shen had already discovered the two of us, why did you remain silent when Yue'er was present?"

Shen Ping'an picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly said, "Life is like a dream. Sometimes, it's truly wise to be oblivious."

"Since you have arrived in seclusion, senior, you must have something you don't want Yaoyue to know. In that case, why should I, a junior, remind you?"

Hearing Shen Ping'an's words, Kong Qingyan's eyes lit up.

"I never expected that Young Master Shen, at such a young age, could see things so clearly. It is truly admirable."

As she spoke, Sun Qingyan's impression of Shen Ping'an improved even more.

Shen Ping'an said softly, "Senior is too kind."

After accepting the tea offered by the Supreme Elder, Kong Qingyan said softly, "Previously in the Hundred Flowers Hall, my cultivation was sealed along with that of several other Supreme Elders due to the poison in our bodies. Moreover, the Yihua Palace had just experienced an attack by external enemies, so we couldn't help but have some suspicions about Young Master Shen. I hope Young Master Shen will forgive us."

Shen Ping'an said calmly, "The martial world is dangerous. Senior and I are complete strangers, so it's normal for you to be more cautious. It's alright."

Kong Qingyan didn't speak, but calmly looked at Shen Ping'an, as if trying to glean something from his reaction and expression.

Shen Ping'an, on the other hand, remained calm and composed as he sipped his tea, showing no sign of impatience whatsoever.

After a short while, Kong Qingyan continued, "May I ask, Young Master Shen, before heading to Yihua Palace, where were you and what were you doing with Yue'er and the others?"

Hearing this, Shen Ping'an knew perfectly well that Kong Qingyan still harbored doubts about him.

Shen Ping'an frowned slightly at this.

After placing his teacup on the table, Shen Ping'an said softly, "I must say, senior is quite wary."

Kong Qingyan did not deny it, and said frankly, "Young Master Shen also said before that people's hearts are treacherous, and it is always good to be more vigilant, isn't it?"

Shen Pingan nodded and said, "Not bad!"

However, after a pause, Shen Ping'an changed the subject and said, "But as a senior, you should know that a person's patience is also limited."

"As I said before, the only people I care about in this Yihua Palace are Yaoyue and Lianxing. I don't care about the reactions of the others."

"In other words, apart from the two of them, there is nothing else in the Yihua Palace that is worthy of my attention."

"Therefore, senior need not worry that I have any other ulterior motives toward Yihua Palace."

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Elder of Yihua Palace turned pale.

Although Shen Ping'an's tone was gentle, his words clearly showed that he did not take the Yihua Palace, a top-tier power, seriously.

In response, Kong Qingyan couldn't help but say, "Young Master Shen may be a prodigy of our time, but aren't your words a bit too arrogant?"

As Kong Qingyan uttered those words, her tone turned noticeably colder.

Clearly, he was angered by Shen Ping'an's words.

Shen Ping'an shook his head and said, "What I said is simply the truth."

At this moment, the Supreme Elder of Yihua Palace suddenly spoke up: "I have long heard of Young Master Yu's reputation as a prodigy. It just so happens that I have not left Yihua Palace for the past forty years and am unaware of the current situation in the martial arts world. Since Young Master Shen is a hero in the martial arts world today, I wonder if you could let me see your strength to make Young Master Shen dare to speak so arrogantly?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping'an remained expressionless and gently shook his head.

Seeing Shen Ping'an's reaction, a hint of contempt appeared in the eyes of the Supreme Elder of Yihua Palace.

But the next second, Shen Ping'an's gentle and calm voice reached her and Kong Qingyan's ears.

"May I ask, senior, what level have you reached in your cultivation of the Mingyu Technique?"

Upon hearing this, the latter narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a somewhat cold tone, "This old woman is not talented and her talent is lacking. Even now, I have only reached the seventh level of the ninth level of the Mingyu Gong?" Shen Ping'an asked again, "Then what about Senior's Yihua Jieyu?"

The Supreme Elder of Yihua Palace frowned and said, "Those who are not the Palace Master of Yihua Palace, after becoming Supreme Elders, can only choose one of the two techniques, 'Mingyu Gong' and 'Yihua Jieyu'. I have cultivated 'Mingyu Gong', so naturally I have not cultivated 'Yihua Jieyu'."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping'an first looked surprised, clearly unaware that the Yihua Palace had such a rule.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Ping'an shook his head again without saying a word, simply sipping his tea as if no one else was around.

Seeing Shen Ping'an's arrogant attitude, the Supreme Elder of Yihua Palace's face darkened.

"Buzz!"

However, in the next instant, the sounds of swords rang out in her and Sun Qingyan's ears.

Sun Qingyan suddenly sensed something was wrong and quickly turned her head, just in time to see a sword aura about an inch long appear out of thin air. She quickly turned her head and saw a sword aura about an inch long sweep across the sky and then rush towards the Supreme Elder of Yihua Palace.

Upon noticing the wisp of sword energy appearing in the air, Sun Qingyan's pupils contracted.

"So fast."

It should be understood that as a martial artist's cultivation level increases, their five senses will also gradually improve under the nourishment of internal energy and true qi.

This greatly enhances the martial artist's five senses.

Sun Qingyan's cultivation has reached the sixth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm.

He had already cultivated his own "Mingyu Gong" to the eighth level.

With her cultivation level and the long-term nurturing of her true qi and the power of heaven and earth, Sun Qingyan has already touched the threshold of the sixth sense.

Even without using the power of heaven and earth or his own true energy, Zhou Shen could sense any movement within a ten-zhang radius.

However, Sun Qingyan did not discover how this sword energy was condensed and appeared.

Seeing the sword energy rushing towards the Supreme Elder beside her, Sun Qingyan quickly mobilized her internal energy.

The hands inside the cuffs were also moving rapidly.

However, just as Sun Qingyan was about to use "Transferring Flowers and Jade" to block the wisp of sword energy in the air, a sword cry suddenly came from Shen Ping'an's body.

The moment the sound of the sword's cry reached her ears, Sun Qingyan felt her internal energy momentarily stagnate.

This caused the energy that Sun Qingyan had just gathered in her hand to dissipate instantly.

"This is... a sonic attack? It can actually affect the circulation of internal energy within me?"

Upon discovering the stagnation of her internal energy, Sun Qingyan's expression changed drastically.

"not good"

Before Sun Qingyan could think further, she quickly looked at the wisp of sword energy in the air.

The next second, Sun Qingyan breathed a long sigh of relief.

The wisp of sword energy was hovering half an inch in front of the brow of the Supreme Elder beside him.

At this moment, Shen Ping'an's gentle voice rang out again.

"If Senior's 'Mingyu Gong' and 'Yihua Jieyu' had both reached the highest level, in a non-life-or-death battle, Senior could have lasted a few moves against me. But now, with Senior's cultivation at the first level of the Celestial Realm, you can't even withstand one of my moves. I advise Senior not to make a move."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ping'an made no move. The sword energy that had been hovering between the elder's eyebrows dissipated like smoke and vanished with the wind.

If it weren't for the dissipation of that wisp of sword energy, the Supreme Elder of Yihua Palace would have finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Sun Qingyan, who was standing to the side, couldn't feel it, but she could clearly feel the psychological impact of the sword energy stopping in front of her brow.

When that wisp of sword energy hovered in front of her brow, she could almost clearly feel the bone-chilling cold emanating from it.

It was as if what was gathering between her brows was not a wisp of sword energy, but a real, sharp sword that could pierce through her brow in the next instant.
