Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence - Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Chapter 108 You want to bully my disciple? _1
 

Gong Buyu gazed in astonishment at the sword she had swung. Beneath the sword’s radiance, there were no peculiar phenomena or manifestations of power, only a decisive killing stroke stripped of all complexity.

This sword seemed to be forged solely for killing, melding the remaining mana and Divine Sense in Gong Buyu’s body into a deadly weapon. With this sword alone, one could glimpse a slight understanding of the profound meaning of the Dao’s ultimate simplicity and the qi-training middle stage green flood dragon had no power to resist, surrendering its head immediately.

More importantly, Gong Buyu clearly sensed that this was a sword her master had swung through her body, and the mana and Divine Sense it contained all came from herself.

At her peak, Gong Buyu was confident she could easily slay the green flood dragon, but now she was drained. The fact that Shen Yuan could still swing this sword without harming her essential nature exceeded her understanding.

Then, a faint blush appeared on Gong Buyu’s cold, beautiful face, her eyes filled with unspeakable excitement.

“Is this my master’s level of Sword Dao cultivation?

The Cold Moon I imitated from my master was just a clumsy imitation that was more decorative than useful. My master’s level of Sword Dao cultivation has long exceeded my imagination.”

Gong Buyu didn’t realize that Shen Yuan, who had obtained the Earth Fiend Sword Art, didn’t walk the usual path of a Sword Dao cultivator.

Ordinary Sword Dao cultivators practice complex sword techniques and divine skills, use these techniques to comprehend the heaven and earth in order to integrate them into themselves, then discard the complexity to simplify and distill the basic sword art of the Dao’s ultimate simplicity from their own learnings.

However, the Earth Fiend Sword Art, as the origin of all sword techniques, stood at the end of the Dao’s ultimate simplicity from the beginning.

The Earth Fiend Sword Art had no complex sword techniques, only the simplest killing sword, and its use of Divine Sense and Mana on the sword technique had already reached perfection.

It was with the Earth Fiend Sword Art as a foundation that Shen Yuan could use the Darkness-Light Sword to summon Gong Buyu’s mana and Divine Sense and effortlessly swing this dragon-slaying sword.

This sword not only stunned Gong Buyu but also shocked everyone at the Dao Discourse Conference.

Just before, many people had noticed that Gong Buyu had exhausted herself after using the Innate Great Qi Capture, but in a blink of an eye, she was still able to draw her sword and slay a mid-stage Qi-training wicked flood dragon, which shocked everyone with her power.

Many accomplished cultivators directed their gaze at the Darkness-Light Sword in her hand. With their cultivation level, they couldn’t even perceive how the Darkness-Light Sword had appeared in Gong Buyu’s hand.

It was as if she had the sword in her hand from the start.

After repeatedly observing and confirming that there was no spirit essence of a spirit treasure on this rusty sword, most cultivators put down their speculations.

However, after Gong Buyu slayed the green flood dragon, some people came to their senses and looked at Sunn Lanyu, who looked upset, with eyes full of mockery.

“It seems that your River Ji Sect’s guardian spirit beast is not so great, after all. You tried to bully her when she was not at her best, but instead, you got slashed by one sword.

What are you going to do next? Is your Sect Master going to step into the ring personally?”

“This group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind you are mostly at the Qi Transformation Stage. I’d like to see what kind of waves you can cause.”

“Although all the gods of the River Ji technically belong to you, they only give you some respect and help you in some unimportant matters in order to gain some benefits.

If they are confronted with a big issue like dealing with the Great Xia’s Imperial Court, those Qi-training Water Gods who have a bit of backbone will never let you use them as cannon fodder.”

“The River Ji Sect was just established. It’s not going to be disbanded so soon, is it? That’s really high… No, I mean, it’s really sad.”

…

The mockery left Sunn Lanyu’s face turning a deep green, but he had no room to refute.

Looking sideways at the corpse of the flood dragon on the iceberg, Sunn Lanyu cursed in a low voice:

“What a waste!”

Behind Sunn Lanyu, many members of the Aquatic Tribe looked at each other hearing Sunn Lanyu’s scolding but still no one dared to counter him.

Forcing down the anger on his face, Sunn Lanyu looked up at Gong Buyu, who was holding the Darkness-Light Sword, and said:

“Your strength is indeed beyond my imagination. I would like to apologize to you for my previous arrogant remarks.”

As he spoke, Sunn Lanyu actually bowed in respect to Gong Buyu.

As he bowed, a hint of unseen coldness flashed across Sunn Lanyu’s face, but it disappeared the moment he looked up, all happening in an instant.

“There is still one person from the River Ji Sect who wishes to challenge you.

If you can defeat him, the River Ji Sect will immediately withdraw from the Dao Discourse Conference and will never interfere with the Conference again.

If you lose, you will bear all the consequences. What do you think?”

There was a slight pause in his speech, and Sunn Lanyu seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate. Hurriedly, he tried to repair the situation by adding:

“Of course, if you, as a person of noble birth, choose to decline the challenge and withdraw, that is understandable. After all, gentlemen should not stand on dangerous walls. If you choose to withdraw now, everyone will understand.

The only regrettable thing is, all the Qi-training experts who could have competed in the Dao Discourse Conference have been defeated by you, this withdrawal would most probably hand over the victory to the River Ji Sect.”

As he spoke, Sunn Lanyu made a regretful face.

His words caused a stir among the cultivators from various major sects in the Primal Chaos Tower.
