I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 550

Chapter 550: Chapter 299: Against 5 with 1, One Sword Vanquishes the Proud Heavens
 

Xu Yan looked up, spotting a young man dressed in a golden robe, wielding a long spear, apparently from one of the Royal Families of the Wei State, as delineated in the small book of the Mu Family.

The booklet mentioned that the contemporary Wei Royal Family had produced two such prodigies and that the one who practiced spear methods was Wei Yuan.

At the peak of the Early Stage of Divine Refinement Celestial, half a step away from the Middle Stage and with a very solid realm, he practiced a cultivation technique from the Thousand Martial Hall, which made him quite strong.

However, to Xu Yan, even a prodigy at the Early Stage of Divine Refinement Celestial was not worth noting.

Only the legendary Spirit Body Prodigies would make Xu Yan take a bit more notice, but that was all.

“Xu Yan, you are too arrogant!”

Following Wei Yuan’s appearance, two more figures arrived aggressively.

“From the seven sects, the Hundred Blade Gate, and from the eight great families, the Wei Family, the gathering of three prodigies is now almost complete.”

Xu Yan muttered to himself.

Pointing his sword forward, he declared, “All three of you, come at me together, and save us some time!”

“I’ve heard of your arrogance, Xu Yan, and today I’ve seen it for myself!”

Wei Yuan said with a dark expression.

“Arrogance is the impression of the ignorant toward me. I, Xu Yan, am never arrogant; I speak only through strength.”

Xu Yan stated indifferently.

More and more martial artists arrived to watch the duel, including those from Thousand Martial State and wandering martial artists from other states, loose cultivators, and fighters from various Spirit Sect families, all converging here.

Challenging the prodigies of Thousand Martial State before the gates of the Thousand Martial Hall was unprecedented.

Whether they were loose cultivators or fighters from Spirit Sect families, each was thrilled, rushing to witness history and to boast in the future of having been spectators and participants in these historic events!

And the heavy rewards offered by the Thousand Martial Hall had been circulating among the Spirit Sect families, enticing prodigies from across Thousand Martial State to come for a chance to enter Thousand Martial Hall.

“Let’s see how much strength you have!”

Wei Yuan charged forward, his long spear thrusting forth like an ice-cold python directly at Xu Yan.

“Are we deciding victory or death?”

Xu Yan asked solemnly, breaking through Wei Yuan’s attack with his sword.

“A fight to the death only!”

Wei Yuan replied coldly, “If you’re afraid, kneel and kowtow, begging for mercy from the Upper Sect of Thousand Martial Hall and you might live!”

Xu Yan sneered disdainfully, “If you seek death, I shall oblige.”

Looking up at the other two, he asked, “And you two?”

“To the death!”

The other two said coldly.

Xu Yan sighed, “Spirit Sect prodigies truly know the ways of courting death!”

The observing martial artists couldn’t help but twitch their lips, thinking, Xu Yan truly is arrogant!

With a cold glare, Xu Yan unleashed one sword strike after another—merely three strikes were enough to force Wei Yuan into a desperate retreat.

“With just you alone, you’re not worthy to duel with me, Xu Yan. I give you a chance; all three of you, come at once.”

Xu Yan stated icily.

Wei Yuan’s expression darkened profoundly. Xu Yan’s strength was beyond imagination, and he alone was no match for him.

The other two exchanged looks, nodding slightly, then stepped down from the high platform to stand with Wei Yuan.

“Xu Yan, since you insist on your arrogance, we shall indulge you!”

Although prodigies should naturally be proud, this was an opportunity to win favor from the Thousand Martial Hall, and facing life and death, how many could maintain their pride?

The combined aura and Qi of all three surged on the high platform, instantly unleashing a formidable force.

“Xu Yan has miscalculated; the cultivation techniques of the three states’ seven sects and eight families all originate from the Thousand Martial Hall. Once allied, their Qi blends, and their strength inevitably doubles.”

“That’s right, this is stronger than a mere alliance of three warriors; it seems like three individuals, but they fuse their powers as one, as if a single person wielding three different Martial Arts.”

“Xu Yan, being young and proud, is too conceited. He might win one-on-one, but how can he overcome a unified force of three?”

Among the watchers were martial artists who were somewhat familiar with the Martial Arts of the Thousand Martial Hall.

They all shook their heads and sighed, believing Xu Yan had been careless.

This was not merely three warriors joining forces; it felt more like they became one, forming a collective force, not separate forces.

“In this battle, Xu Yan is undoubtedly doomed!”

An elder martial artist stated gravely.

On the high platform, surrounded by Sword Intent, Xu Yan faced the three prodigies alone, and was somewhat surprised as Wei Yuan and the other two merged their Qi, resembling three combined into one.

“Well, it’s just as well, after this battle, I should breakthrough as well!”

Xu Yan thought silently to himself.

“Xu Yan, today is the day you die!”

Wei Yuan took the lead, his spear lancing out, radiating cold brilliance that tore through the sky.

As Wei Yuan made his move, the other two also attacked Xu Yan from the left and right.

As the three attacked, it was as if a single warrior attacked from three directions, their ferocious intent already enveloping Xu Yan, leaving him no space to dodge or flee.

Suddenly, sword light erupted everywhere!

Xu Yan’s expression remained calm as the sword light surged, and in a mere thought, a large tree nearby suddenly uprooted itself and transformed into a sword, aiming at the trio.

In just an instant, vegetation turned into lethal Swords of Slaughter, emitting cold glimmers, with overwhelming Sword Intent and intermingling Sword Qi, as if transforming into mountains and rivers.
