Chapter 141: Sect Master (I)
The three peak masters of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect were the strongest members other than the sect master. However, in just two rounds, they had already lost their will to fight and were so frightened that they were waiting for the sect master to rescue them.
With such an unexpected turn of events, other than the disciples who could not see the situation outside, all the elders felt that they could not breathe easily. They gulped and found that their feet were stuck firmly to the ground.
They wanted to stop the masked man who was walking towards the three peak masters, but their bodies refused to cooperate.
For a moment, the entire Blue Cloud Sword Sect fell silent.
“Young man.”
In front of the flattened mountain gate, a thin figure had appeared at some point.
The person was dressed in loose robes and had a head of white hair. On the surface, he looked like an ordinary old man, but his aura was as heavy as the sea.
“Sect Master?” Chen Yiming turned around and smiled.
The person who had arrived was the sect master of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect, Li Daoyi.
“Young man, you’re really something. My three disciples are more than 20 years your senior, but they can’t even put up a fight against you,” Li Daoyi said calmly with his hands behind his back.
“Elder, your praise is too much. The three peak masters were only defeated in one move because they were careless,” Chen Yiming lied through his teeth.
“A loss is a loss. There’s no excuse for it,” Li Daoyi continued, “For decades, the Blue Cloud Sword Sect has collected more than 100 types of sword techniques at the warrior realm. Young man, if you just want to read them, you can come in and have a good chat with me.”
Chen Yiming’s expression remained unchanged as he rejected the offer. “I just had a small conflict with the three peak masters, so I’m too ashamed to enter the Blue Cloud Sword Sect again. Why don’t you give me a few pointers right here?”
He was not arrogant enough to sit with the sect master over a cup of tea.
He only planned to exchange a few blows to test the gap between his current self and a warrior at the third stage of the warrior realm. After that, he would have to somehow make his escape.
Li Daoyi stroked his white beard and said calmly, “Young man, all of us from the entire Blue Cloud Sword Sect, including me, have martial arts talent that is more than a level lower than yours. However, you’re only in your twenties, after all. You still need to be humble and ask for guidance.”
There was a hint of a threat in his words.
“I don’t want to trouble you, Elder. I’ll take my leave now.” Chen Yiming sighed and decided to retreat.
“Young man, you are really thick-skinned. You stole a cultivation technique from my Blue Cloud Sword Sect and now you want to leave without paying the price?” Li Daoyi chuckled.
“Then I thank you for your guidance, Elder,” Chen Yiming said with a serious expression.
Li Daoyi was the current sect master of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect.
In the Daxia Kingdom, outside of the large cities that were the capitals of the provinces, those at the third stage of the warrior realm stood at the very top.
People of this level rarely appeared in front of ordinary people. Once they made a move, the destruction they would cause was enough to destroy a city.
The masked man had defeated the three peak masters of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect in two rounds.
Although he was not at the third stage of the warrior realm, his true combat strength far exceeded that of ordinary people of the same level. It was not impossible for him to fight someone of a higher level.
The three peak masters took advantage of the confrontation between the masked man and Li Daoyi to retreat to where the other elders were standing.
At this moment, no one spoke. Everyone was silent, and their expressions were solemn.
After all, the combined strength of the three peak masters that was said to be comparable to the sect master in the short term was only able to result in a draw. This meant that neither of the two sides had a large advantage in strength.
This way, even if one side was defeated, they could still easily escape.
A gust of wind blew past, and dry leaves fell from the sky.
“Swish!”
Chen Yiming was the first to make a move. His figure disappeared and reappeared 10 meters away from Li Daoyi.
At this distance, as long as Li Daoyi did not dodge, he would definitely clash head-on with him. From this, the difference between him and the third stage of the warrior realm would be revealed.
He focused all his internal force on his sword, and a dark brown sword shadow slashed at Li Daoyi at lightning speed.
As soon as the sword shadow appeared, it transformed into a huge rock. The diameter of the huge rock was more than 20 meters, and it instantly filled the distance of 10 meters between them.
“The strength of ordinary people’s internal force is far inferior to yours!” Li Daoyi praised.
In an instant, he slashed out in response.
With a flash of sword light, a thunderbird with a wingspan of only a few meters flew straight out. It was much smaller than the thunderbird that had formed from the three peak masters’ combined internal force.
However, not only was this thunderbird much more substantial, but it also looked more agile. Furthermore, there were no signs of the three types of internal force on the surface of its body.
As soon as it appeared, a thunderous shout rang out. It was as if it was not formed by internal force, but was an actual living creature.
“Crack…”
The thunderbird collided with the huge rock and instantly pierced through it. Countless cracks spread from one point to the other, as if the huge rock would break apart at any moment.
However, the huge rock had an automatic restoration ability. In the blink of an eye, it shone brightly and the cracks closed up one after another, as if there were two huge palms that were trying to trap the thunderbird.
The two sides were about to reach a stalemate.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound rang out.
The entire thunderbird completely pierced through the brown energy barrier on the surface of the huge rock and charged straight into its center.
In the next moment, endless streams of sword light shot out from the inside of the huge rock, turning it into a spiked ball.
The restoration ability provided by the Level-1 Undying Body talent was limited. The huge rock could not recover from the level of destruction brought about by such an explosive attack from the inside.
“I knew this would happen.”
A sigh sounded.
Immediately after, four boulders appeared in the air. They were connected by brown energy lines, similar to a long sword made of rocks.
This longsword formed from rocks formed from internal force was the full appearance of the Skyfall Sword Technique’s strongest finishing move.
Previously, Chen Yiming had only had the concept diagram. Although he had comprehended the concept of great power contained within it, he hadn’t mastered the tools to maximize the power from the concept.
A huge sword about 100 meters long descended from the sky and smashed straight at the thunderbird that had charged out of the rubble.
“This!”
The moment the three peak masters saw the huge sword appear in the sky, their eyes widened. They could not accept that the masked man had not even reached his limit earlier.
If the masked man had used such an attack from the start, the three of them would have been crushed instantly.
At the same time, with the sect master’s appearance, the elders allowed the disciples to leave the cave. All the disciples and elders were shocked speechless when they saw this scene in the sky.
There was a ten-fold difference between 10 meters and 100 meters. None of their mentors had ever displayed such an exaggerated attack form.
Normally, the range of the transformation of internal force at the second stage of the warrior realm was about 10 meters.
It was not that one was unwilling to continue expanding their attack range, but that the strength of one’s internal force could at most support the stable energy structure within this range.
“Is this person actually a beast in human form?”
Li Daoyi’s expression became extremely solemn.
This was completely unlike what humans on the blue planet could achieve. Instead, it was at the level of a special entity among the alien creatures from the otherworld.
However, even though Li Daoyi had participated in the war between the blue planet and the otherworld for many years and had seen people who were 30%, 50%, or even 100% stronger than those of the same level, he had never seen anyone who was 50 times stronger than those of the same level.
“Rumble…”
Half of the thunderbird’s body was still inside the boulder when it collided with the huge sword that was descending from the sky.
The huge sword instantly shone brightly. The four huge rocks embedded in the blade emitted a dazzling light, and an invisible gravitational force was transmitted to the front layer by layer.
The thunderbird was unwilling to give up just like that. Its entire body glowed brightly as well, and all its strength was focused on its beak to resist the attack.
On one side was an endless amount of gravitational force from a meteorite falling through the sky, while the other side was a combined force formed by the forces of cutting, burning, and speed.
As the two forces collided, the entire Blue Cloud Sword Sect was covered in light, and everyone temporarily lost their vision.
In addition, the parents of the newcomers who were taking the entrance test at the foot of the mountain
had previously sensed the commotion from the battle on the mountain and knew that something had happened in the Blue Cloud Sword Sect. Many people gathered and whispered to each other, trying to get information from others.
