Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 191 Sword Splits into Streams of Light
With a thunderous roar, huge waves crashed against the white sandbar. True energy manifested in a palm, carrying the waves, and Canglang Sanren slammed it fiercely towards Jiang Chen.

Without testing or hesitation, Canglang Sanren made a killing move right from the start. He wanted to establish his reputation with Jiang Chen's corpse, thereby intimidating the hearts of the people of Qinghe County. In a sense, he was doing what Jiang Chen had done.

Jiang Chen's response was simple: he merely waved his sleeve.

With a whoosh, a cold light flashed, and as Jiang Chen waved his sleeve, the Frost Moon Blade materialized, instantly filling the air with a chilling aura.

"cut!"

With his mind and spirit in harmony with the Frost Moon Blade, Jiang Chen used his Qi to control the sword and activated the Frost Moon Blade. Although it had only been a short time, because he had reforged it himself, he had already mastered the art of refining this top-grade magic weapon.

With a whoosh, a cold light flashed, like a new moon. Under Jiang Chen's urging, the Frost Moon Blade revealed its true sharpness, instantly splitting into five, transforming into five streams of light, slashing towards the Canglang Scattered Blade with extreme chill.

In the blink of an eye, the seemingly mighty waves were completely cleaved in two by the flowing light, which could not stop them in the slightest.

Upon seeing this scene, Canglang Sanren was instantly shocked. He finally understood why Jiang Chen was so calm, because the opponent was far stronger than he had expected.

"Compared to Jiang Chen, I am the one who is truly weaker."

A thought arose, and his mind was shaken. Almost instinctively, Canglang Sanren went to defend himself. At that moment, an invisible soul force descended, causing his turbulent mind to momentarily lose focus. It was at this moment that, surrounded by flowing light, his defenses were instantly torn apart.

"Mastery of Qi Refining, Sword Cultivator..."

Coming to his senses, Canglang Sanren looked at Jiang Chen with eyes full of panic. At this moment, a line of blood had appeared on his neck. The sharp sword energy had entered his body and was recklessly destroying his life force. He was beyond saving.

With a muffled thud, the waves shattered, and Canglang Sanren's body fell headfirst to the ground.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen gently withdrew the Frost Moon Blade.

This time, he held nothing back, using not only Frost Moon but also Bewitching Soul, which is why Canglang Sanren was slain in one strike, utterly powerless to retaliate.

Although he had only been practicing the Golden Flowing Light Sword Technique for a short time and could only differentiate five streams of light, his divine soul was powerful. He controlled the sword with his qi, and his agility far surpassed that of Zhuang Tianxing in the past. The two sword techniques were vastly different, one being alive and the other being dead.

As everyone on White Sand Island watched Jiang Chen holding the Frosty Moon and standing in mid-air, they were all stunned. With just one sword, he had killed Canglang Sanren. Although some of them had thought that Jiang Chen would win, they had never imagined that Jiang Chen would win so easily.

Especially those cultivators from Qing Teng County, who were familiar with Canglang Sanren's strength, found it even more hard to believe what they were seeing.

With Canglang Sanren's strength, even if he was no match for a Qi Refining cultivator, he would not be completely powerless to resist. Yet, he was killed by a Taiping Daoist who had no reputation. This was truly unbelievable.

Just as everyone's minds were wavering, Jiang Chen's gaze fell again, locking onto a figure. It was Tu Weng, who had come to Baishazhou with Canglang Sanren this time, partly to watch the battle and partly as a precaution.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen's sword light was too fast and too sharp; even if he wanted to save him, it was too late. "Not good!"

Locked on by Jiang Chen's gaze, Tu Weng realized something was wrong and dared not retreat any longer. He immediately turned and ran.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen moved swiftly and once again activated the Frost Moon Blade to eliminate any potential threat. Since Cang Lang had already been killed, Tu Weng naturally could not be spared either.

With a whoosh, the flowing light reappeared. Compared to Canglang Sanren, Tu Weng's fighting ability was even more ordinary. Faced with the descending sword light, he had no power to resist and could only offer his neck for slaughter. Thus, the two Qi Refining cultivators who had reached the Lesser Completion stage were cut down by Jiang Chen's sword.

Seeing Tu Weng's fallen corpse, the people of Baishazhou finally came to their senses. A chill ran through them, and they felt a deep awe for Jiang Chen. They all lowered their eyes, not daring to look directly at Jiang Chen's figure. Even the arrogant foreign cultivators were no exception.

Compared to others, their fear was even more intense at this moment. They all acted like sheep, afraid of attracting Jiang Chen's attention at this critical juncture.

Jiang Chen paid no attention to these people. He glanced around to make sure nothing was missed, then, carrying the corpses of Canglang Sanren and Tu Weng, he drifted away.

"To kill one person with a single sword strike is truly the mark of a swordsman."

As Jiang Chen departed, the once quiet Baishazhou suddenly became lively. The locals boasted about Jiang Chen's past deeds, and the disciples of Taiping Sect stood tall and proud. Only the outside cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

"Playing dumb to fool others, this Taoist of Taiping is not only sharp in swordsmanship, but also has a deep mind. He has been able to endure until now without revealing a word. If it weren't for the Canglang Hermit coming to his door this time, he might have continued to hide. He is truly terrifying."

"Luckily it's Canglang Sanren, thank goodness it's Canglang Sanren."

Shaking their heads, the visiting cultivators scattered in dissatisfaction. Having witnessed such a scene today, they had no intention of returning to Qinghe County anytime soon.

Of course, some people had doubts because of this, wondering why a powerful person like Jiang Chen would hide in the small Qinghe River, and whether he was plotting something. However, when they thought of that streak of light, they quickly dismissed the thought. Curiosity really does kill the cat.

Regardless of the circumstances, with the conclusion of this battle, Jiang Chen's reputation soared. Both "Mastery of Qi Refining" and "Sword Cultivator" are extremely eye-catching terms, not to mention the combination of the two. Facing a Sword Cultivator who has achieved Mastery of Qi Refining, probably no cultivator of the same realm would dare to claim victory lightly.

As news of Jiang Chen's sword slaying of Canglang Sanren spread, the entire Qingyuan County was shaken, and the leaders of many forces turned their attention to Qinghe.

They weren't completely ignorant about Jiang Chen or the Taiping Sect, but that was all they knew. They didn't really take them seriously. What truly made them take the Taiping Sect seriously was the Lu family behind it. With the Lu family's downfall, in their eyes, the Taiping Sect had no future.

However, they never expected that the Taiping Sect Master, who was known as the Flying Rainbow Sword Immortal, would draw his sword again at this critical moment, using the sharpness of his sword to cut through the layers of gloom and let the Taiping Sect see the light again.

With his Qi Refining Mastery and the sharpness of his flying sword, even without the Lu family as his support, the Taiping Sect is still the first-class power in Qingyuan County, and no one dares to underestimate him. For a moment, everyone sighed and began to trace the origins, wanting to find more information related to Jiang Chen, because Jiang Chen now has the ability to disrupt the general trend of Qingyuan County.
