Sword Sect Outer Sect

Chapter 150 Competition
The other person's smile only fueled his anger.

He suddenly turned around and walked forward.

Looking at Song Yan with intense eyes, he asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Faced with this sudden question, Song Yan was slightly taken aback, then his smile vanished.

He said calmly, "No offense intended, the little snake is just being ignorant..."

He lowered his head, looked at Xiao He, and said, "I will definitely discipline her strictly when we get back."

In Kong Yun's view, the other party obviously knew that he was no match for his elder brother, so he made a boast earlier, but now he dared not say a word.

He immediately sneered: "Since you dare to spout such nonsense, saying that my brother is inferior to you, why don't you come up on stage and fight?!"

Upon hearing Kong Yun's denunciation, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

All eyes turned to this side, wondering what had happened.

At the edge of the dueling platform, a tall and alluring young female cultivator was holding a wine jar and hiccuping.

Her posture was extremely ungraceful, and her junior sister Gu Qingqing was frantically trying to cover her up, her face flushed.

"Senior Sister Yuwen! You...you...please sit up properly!"

"I do not!"

Gu Qingqing was also furious, extremely dissatisfied with this drunken senior sister: "If I had known you were here to drink, I wouldn't have come with you!"

"nonsense!"

The drunken female cultivator straightened up, as if she was about to say something serious.

It's not actually that serious.

"I clearly came here to spar with Kong You! Don't spout nonsense when you get back to the peak!"

"The competition is over now, why aren't you going on stage yet!"

Let's finish the competition as soon as possible and get back to Lianyou Peak.

Senior Sister Yuwen didn't care about her image at all; her exposed skin made her, her little follower, feel embarrassed and annoyed on her behalf.

It’s really hateful!

"Oh, we came at the wrong time. By the time we got there, he was already competing."

"Since we've already competed, my performance has naturally declined. Even if I, as a senior sister, win, it won't be honorable, do you understand?"

"...Senior sister, what she said is right..."

Gu Qingqing pouted and said dismissively, "Then let's hurry back!"

"Well, since we're already here, let's watch a little longer."

"I think we should drink a little longer..."

"nonsense!"

Yuwen Yao straightened his face, about to argue a few more words, when he saw a dispute breaking out near the Sword Debate Platform.

Gu Qingqing also looked in the direction of the sound and spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.

"Huh? Isn't that Senior Brother Song?"

What are they arguing about?

Kong Yun's outburst made Song Yan the target of public criticism.

"Who is this person?"

"Looks like an inner disciple of Sword Wiping Peak? Old Chen, do you know him?"

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

Someone inquired about a slightly older cultivator on Wiping Sword Peak.

"I don't recognize him. He must be a junior brother who just advanced to the inner sect."

"What arrogance! You've only just advanced to the inner sect, and your cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Refining is probably still unstable. How dare you spout such boastful words?"

After Changping, Song Yan's reputation was actually quite prominent among the Qi Refining disciples.

Unfortunately, very few people in the entire Dongyuan Sect could match his name with his face.

The crowd sized up the young cultivator, finding him somewhat strange.

What's that behind him?

"It looks like... a sword case? Do people still use such old-fashioned items these days...?"

"Perhaps they are imitating the ancient monks."

Kong Yun overheard the comments of those around him and scoffed at them. Just as he was about to make another sarcastic remark, he suddenly heard a clear and upright voice coming from the stage.

“Ah Yun.”

Kong You, unaware of what was happening, also looked in this direction. Upon seeing the other party's cultivation level, he couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

Knowing his younger brother's temperament, he immediately spoke up to stop him.

His gaze swept over the sword case on Song Yan's back, and he nodded slightly: "If this junior brother has no intention of competing, there's no need to force him." His elder brother's tone was calm, but it immediately silenced Kong Yun, who glared at Song Yan resentfully: "...Be careful what you say next time, I'm telling you."

For Kong You, Song Yan was clearly not the opponent he was looking for.

Both Li and Zhao, who came before them, were clearly too inexperienced in fighting and killing others.

What he wanted was an opponent who could at least make him feel some pressure.

Among the Qi Refining stage cultivators of the Dongyuan Sect, such people can probably be counted on one hand.

"How exactly did Li Yi cultivate such a fierce fighting spirit...?"

Although he had never fought against him, he knew in his heart that he would be defeated if he faced this person.

Just as he was still lost in thought, the commotion from the crowd reached his ears.

"What...what is he doing?"

"Does he really want to have a duel with Senior Brother Kong?"

"Fine, let him see the true measure of his own worth."

Kong You snapped out of his daze and saw that the young man was already standing on the bluestone platform, nodding slightly.

Since entering the Dao, Song Yan has almost never fought with anyone else.

On a few separate occasions, after Peach Blossom Village, he discussed cultivation matters with Li Qingfeng.

The rest were almost all life-or-death battles.

With the sect about to hone its skills, it's time to get used to this feeling of stopping short of a fight.

You can't just have a friendly sparring session and then pull out your sword essence.

It will damage the harmony.

The senior brother in front of me, named Kong You, seemed to possess abundant spiritual power, and his offensive power was also relatively "moderate."

They would be a perfect first opponent.

Kong You thought that this person was too young and impetuous, and was provoked by the surroundings, so he got carried away and wanted to compete with him.

Although he sighed inwardly, since he had already stepped onto the dueling platform, there was no reason for him to refuse the challenge.

He nodded slightly and offered a few words of comfort: "It's just a friendly exchange, no need to take it so seriously."

"Haven't you asked yet?"

"Wipe Sword Peak, Song Banquet."

The name sounded familiar, but Kong You didn't think about it at the moment.

"Junior Brother Song, please."

In sparring matches, there are no formal referees. When one side says "please," it means the match has begun.

"..."

Kong You was slightly taken aback.

He sensed that, in that very instant, the other party's aura had completely changed.

Song Yan slightly raised his eyes, his aura sharp and piercing.

Kong You was startled, and his initial contempt and condescension immediately diminished.

Spiritual energy gathers between the hands.

The water curtain that he had used against Zhao Mian before reappeared.

This senior brother Kong seems to really like to use the counter-attack move.

It's neither good nor bad; it's just a personal fighting style.

In stark contrast to Song Yan.

With a slight raise of his hand, a streak of cyan sword energy flew out from his sleeve, sweeping away like a storm.

Kong You twitched his fingertips slightly, unleashing his spiritual power.

He planned to unleash his offensive spells as soon as the sword energy was dissipated by the water curtain, and end the battle as soon as possible.

However, things did not go as he had expected.

In an instant, the cyan sword energy tore through the water curtain, heading straight for Kong You's face.

"?!"

Almost out of the instinct for survival, he instantly withdrew from his original movement and activated his spiritual power to form a layer of ice shield in front of him.

Bang!
The ice shield met the cyan sword energy, and in the blink of an eye, it showed signs of shattering.

In the rush, Kong You had no choice but to keep reshaping the Ice Shield spell.

At the same time, his body kept retreating until he was almost at the edge of the dueling platform, where he finally managed to stabilize himself and calm his spiritual power.

At that moment, he was filled with utter horror!
