Chapter 274: Sword Zun Kneels

Qingyun Sword Immortal clutched his chest, his breath unsteady, his hair disheveled, looking very embarrassed.

His deep eyes, looking at Ye Qingran with scrutiny, seemed unable to believe she could be this strong!

The Sword Demon glanced at Qingyun Sword Immortal and saw that Ye Qingran's previous move hadn't been used at full strength; otherwise, Ling Qingyun wouldn't have been merely embarrassed!

"Ling Qingyun, your Xuan Yuan Sword Sect's Phantom Sword Meteor—the sect leader can only manage five swords flying together, but my master can do nine swords flying together; what does that mean, need I spell it out?"

Ling Qingyun furrowed his brows, his face grim, yet he had nothing to say.

Everyone also understood the meaning behind the Sword Demon's words.

Even the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect's core sword manual, which the sect leader has cultivated, is inferior to Ye Qingran's—what does that indicate?

Ye Qingran's understanding of the Phantom Sword Meteor has deepened even further, reaching the pinnacle of perfection!

Could it be that the expert who gifted the Phantom Sword Meteor back then was actually Ye Qingran?

"Phantom Sword Meteor—could it truly have been a gift from Ye Qingran to the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect?"

"Eight or nine out of ten! After all, Ye Qingran can manage nine swords flying together! Moreover, that move just now—I think she didn't even use her full strength!"

"How can Ye Qingran be this strong?"

……

For a moment, everyone began whispering and discussing.

Seeing Ling Qingyun remain silent, as if he were concocting an excuse, the Sword Demon said directly: "Ling Qingyun, if you don't believe me, go to the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect and summon your sect leader; let's confront each other face to face, shall we?"

Having said all this, everyone basically believed the Sword Demon's words.

Ye Qingran, without a doubt, is the expert who gifted the Phantom Sword Meteor back then!

But, how old is Ye Qingran?

Where did she get such a formidable sword manual? Even the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, hailed as a paradise for sword cultivators, treasures it as a supreme treasure!

What they don't know is that, as the foremost expert of Huaxia, Ye Qingran's mind holds countless sword manuals—similar to the Little Flying Sword, and even stronger ones, plenty of them!

Ling Qingyun was filled with resentment.

Things having come to this, he no longer had a reason to continue trying to kill Ye Qingran.

He suppressed his anger and shouted: "It turns out everything was a misunderstanding; I was careless and offended you."

"Is that it?"

Ling Qingyun said impatiently: "Uncle Master, do you think there's anything else improper?"

"Of course! You casually slandered my master for stealing the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect's techniques, tried to have him killed, and now that you've realized the mistake, you haven't even offered an apology? Do you just want to turn the page?"

Before Ling Qingyun could argue, the Sword Demon's tone sank, his words extremely sharp: "When did the people of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect become so ill-mannered?"

Ling Qingyun's pupils contracted, he narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed.

What right does an outsider who betrayed the sword sect have to slander their Xuan Yuan Sword Sect?

Ling Qingwu was very unwilling.

No matter what, she could not accept the fact that the Phantom Sword Meteor was a gift from Ye Qingran to the sect.

"Grand Uncle Master, Ye Qingran is unharmed, so why can't this matter be turned over?"

Beside her, Xia Zhimeng couldn't hold back and shouted back: "I'll fucking kill you, then apologize at your grave—would you accept that?" Really fucking shameless!

The Summer Venerable Envoy looked at his granddaughter in astonishment, feeling her courage was truly immense.

However, this is also quite good.

Ling Qingyun gritted his teeth, his gaze dark, and said: "Uncle Master, what else do you want?"

"Apologize! Give my master a proper apology!"

"Make him apologize to a girl?"

"Impossible!"

The Sword Demon looked at Ling Qingyun's impatient expression, gave a cold snort, and said: "Unwilling to apologize, huh? Good! Very well! Then I'll take your master's place and give you, this rebellious disciple, a proper lesson!"

As the Sword Demon's words fell, his sword qi surged like a vast sea, rising and falling like a blue ocean tide, mighty and overwhelming, leaving one breathless.

In the next instant, the sword qi transformed into a light sword, attacking toward Ling Qingyun.

Ling Qingyun was no match for the Sword Demon to begin with, and having been wounded by Ye Qingran, how could he possibly withstand the Sword Demon's furious strike?

Boom~

With a tremendous bang, he was flung backward, his back slamming into a pillar, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Dust rose everywhere, the wind howled, leaving him utterly wretched and miserable.

Everyone was stunned.

This is none other than the legendary Qingyun Sword Immortal!

And yet he also has moments this miserable?

The Sword Demon said lightly: "Not apologizing is fine; I'll break your two legs—I'm sure your master won't say anything!"

Ling Qingyun's heart tightened.

This uncle master of his, even in his youth, had strayed from the path, acted recklessly, and left a foul reputation in the sect; now that he says he'll break his legs, Ling Qingyun believes him.

He naturally couldn't have his legs broken, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Master, I'll apologize!"

The Sword Demon clicked his tongue and said: "If you'd realized this sooner, you'd have suffered less."

Ling Qingyun grit his teeth in silence.

He hated this uncle master to the core!

Ling Qingyun rose to his feet, looked at Ye Qingran, and said lightly: "Miss Ye, what just happened was my oversight; I apologize and hope you can let bygones be bygones."

At a glance, it lacked sincerity.

"What did the Qingyun Sword Immortal say? Is my hearing bad? I can't hear clearly."

Ye Qingran is not someone who can be easily fooled.

Ling Qingyun's eyes flickered with a trace of killing intent.

Is it Ye Qingran?

He remembered it!

He suppressed the heavy anger in his chest, repeated himself, his voice a bit louder: "Miss Ye, what just happened was my oversight; I apologize and hope you can let bygones be bygones."

No sincerity at all—kneel and say it!

The Sword Demon showed no courtesy.

Ling Qingyun's eyes were about to burst.

Make him kneel to Ye Qingran in front of all these people?

Either kneel and apologize, or I'll break your legs—your choice!" The Sword Demon's voice turned icy. His master wouldn't be so easily fooled!

If we don't kill a chicken to scare the monkeys today, everyone will think the Sword Demon's master is easy to bully!

The Sword Demon said, his breath sinking, his thick Sword Qi turning into countless blades aimed at Ling Qingyun, as if warning him that refusal would bring the torment of ten thousand swords piercing his legs.

Ling Qingyun weighed it for a moment, then reluctantly knelt.

This scene shocked who knows how many people!

Even one of the Four Great Sword Immortals of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect has to kneel and apologize?

But looking at the object of his apology, everyone strangely felt no awkwardness.

The woman who injured Qingyun Sword Immortal with a single move not only has peerless beauty and an ethereal bearing, but also unfathomable strength!

She is worthy of Qingyun Sword Immortal's kneeling!

Qingyun Sword Immortal lowered his head, hiding the frenzied killing intent in his eyes.

This humiliation, Ling Qingyun will surely avenge!
