Chapter 736: Duel Against the Peak Master's Personal Disciple

Immortal Cloud Sect.

The scene of the Nine Peaks Grand Competition.

The entire arena was deathly silent.

From peak masters and elders down to outer sect disciples and chore disciples.

Everyone was dumbfounded, eyes wide, unable to utter a single word.

Without exception, their gazes were all gathered on Ye Lin.

Even the disciples who had already begun clashing on other arenas stopped in unison to look toward Ye Lin.

What did he just say?

The night he and the Sect Master had to talk about?

Although Sect Master Fang Xijuan of the Immortal Cloud Sect was beautiful, ordinary people wouldn't even dare to fantasize about her.

She was a true titan of cultivation, a figure with quite a reputation across the entire Longevity Continent.

Such a woman, actually having a story that had to be told with a disciple?

They admitted that, in terms of appearance, Ye Lin was indeed excellent, but with Fang Xijuan's strength and status, what kind of man couldn't she find?

What the crowd did not know was that even Fang Xijuan herself was currently wearing a blank expression.

When did she ever have a night that had to be talked about with this brat?

"You... and the Sect Master???"

Zhou Yanyan's usually calm face could not help but reveal a trace of gossip at this moment.

But the next second, as if she had sensed something, Zhou Yanyan suddenly raised two jade-white fingers.

"Righteousness hidden in the heart, the sword emerges to stabilize the universe!"

In an instant, the surrounding time and space seemed to freeze.

A phantom longsword condensed behind Zhou Yanyan, the blade reflecting her cold, sharp face.

Frozen along with it were several flying swords behind her that were about to strike.

Zhou Yanyan glanced at those flying swords, a look of lingering fear appearing in her beautiful eyes.

If not for the fact that she possessed a pure sword heart, was single-mindedly devoted to the sword, and was extremely sensitive to the aura of swords, she might have already been turned into a sieve by the flying swords by now.

"You named your flying swords 'The night I and the Sect Master had to talk about'?" Zhou Yanyan couldn't help but ask.

"What? Is it against the law?" Ye Lin asked back righteously.

As soon as his voice fell, the entire Immortal Cloud Sect fell into silence once again.

Everyone had originally thought that Ye Lin had actually had something happen with Sect Master Fang Xijuan.

They hadn't expected that it was just Ye Lin being completely unreasonable.

Is this kind of sword name something a human could even think of?

Jun Chuanxiong covered his face in pain and explained to Fang Xijuan.

"Sect Master, although Ye Lin's sword path was taught by me, these sword names are truly all his own ideas; they have nothing to do with me!"

If he could, Jun Chuanxiong wouldn't even want to admit he had taught Ye Lin.

He, Jun Chuanxiong, was at least a practitioner of the Heavenly Dipper Vast Righteousness Sword Art; he had lived his life upright and honorable, acting with integrity and having a clear conscience.

Yet he never expected to have taught a disciple who named his sword 'The night I and the Sect Master had to talk about'; to put it bluntly, this was a failure to maintain one's integrity in old age.

"Peak Master Jun, rest assured, I understand your character." Fang Xijuan couldn't help but give a wry smile.

Zhou Yanyan took a deep breath, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at Ye Lin already held a hint of disgust.

"So you are the disciple my Master spoke of, the one who has walked onto a crooked and evil path."

Clang!

An ancient-looking sword appeared in Zhou Yanyan's hand.

On the blade, there were spiral-shaped crystal patterns, with veins connecting all these crystals together, looking seamless, as if the sword had grown directly out of the earth.

"My natal sword is named Dust Vast."

"A sword cultivator must have a heart of righteousness that is indomitable and relentless in eradicating evil; no matter the time, one must never lose the courage to draw the sword with integrity. Your path has gone astray."

The moment Dust Vast left its sheath, the swords in the hands of many Immortal Cloud Sect sword disciples couldn't help but tremble and hum.

Ye Lin's gaze also couldn't help but tighten.

This Dust Vast in Zhou Yanyan's hand was clearly of a grade not at all inferior to his Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron; it was likewise a Post-Heaven Supreme Treasure!

"No wonder so many people want to be sword cultivators."

Ye Lin couldn't help but sigh; setting everything else aside, the style of sword cultivators was indeed high.

"If you admit defeat now, it's still not too late." Zhou Yanyan said softly.

"You want me to surrender now so you can keep me in original condition? But I'm not some Lung-Fog Lightning Fire, come on."

Ye Lin took out the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron; since the sneak attack didn't work, he could only fight head-on.

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword."

As soon as Zhou Yanyan finished speaking, a gorgeous lotus of sword Qi bloomed at the tip of her sword, containing extreme danger.

The sword intent condensed into a gale, and before the attack even arrived, it made Ye Lin's skin prickle with pain.

"Forbidden Spell: World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"

Black clouds rolled in, as if night had descended.

Under Ye Lin's urging, the patterns on the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron all lit up, echoing the muffled thunder from the nine heavens.

In an instant, a terrifying bolt of lightning poured down, landing on the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron.

Wrapped in arcs of lightning, Ye Lin smashed fiercely toward the sword Qi lotus!

Boom!

The moment the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron collided with the sword Qi lotus, all the formation arrays on the arena lit up instantly; even so, the arena still developed countless cracks.

The sword Qi lotus collapsed instantly under the bombardment of the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron, which was wrapped in lightning, and countless strands of sword Qi pierced Ye Lin's body.

Zhou Yanyan's gaze was cold, her sword momentum like a rainbow, and she pursued the victory directly.

The veins and patterns on the body of the Dust Vast sword in her hand were all lit up, and the massive sword Qi even formed a terrifying pillar of light.

The vast sword Qi tore the lightning apart directly; before this sword was even swung, the black clouds in the sky melted away rapidly like residual snow meeting the scorching sun.

"Senior Sister Zhou Yanyan has at least practiced the Heavenly Dipper Vast Righteousness Sword Art to the third level, right? What terrifying sword intent!"

The sword disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sect couldn't help but be shocked.

Only those who were also sword cultivators could clearly feel just how terrifying this sword of Zhou Yanyan's was.

Even Jun Chuanxiong couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

This disciple of his possessed a Heaven-grade single Metal spirit root, and her mind was pure; she was simply born to be a sword cultivator.

The pillar-like sword strike was unleashed in an instant, and the air emitted a sound like tearing fabric; it couldn't withstand this terrifying sword intent, forming a vacuum sword mark.

"The green blade parts the clouds to reveal the sun and moon, the clear sword heart illuminates the mountains and rivers!"

Facing this unstoppable sword, Ye Lin's expression was also extremely grave.

"Since that's the case, then I won't be polite either. Take my move: 'Electric Scooter Drills into the Old Lady's Bedding', and then take my other move: 'Wild Fermented Bean Curd Fried Dough Stick Extreme Leap from a Building'!"

Ye Lin threw out a stack of explosive charms, pulling off a move of mutually multiplying explosive charms.

A terrifying explosion soared into the sky, yet Zhou Yanyan didn't take this attack seriously at all.

This level of explosion couldn't defeat her at all.

But at this moment, Jun Chuanxiong's exclamation suddenly came from above.

"Yanyan, be careful, this little bastard's explosive charms were soaked in powerful anesthetic!"
