Chapter 297: Jianzi Stands! Sword Twenty-Three Defeats the Sacred Land's Disciple! (Part 1)
Several figures rushed through the air.
As they approached, an overwhelmingly condensed sword qi pressed down.
The entire peach blossom forest trembled, countless petals falling and shattering...
"..."
"We’re not in a hurry."
San Ye spoke up, "Senior, you can handle this matter first. We can talk later."
"Besides, if you need anything, just let us know."
"I will do my utmost to repay the favor of sparring with you later."
"Ha ha ha."
Deng Ta'a laughed, "Alright."
He believed that San Ye had extremely high talent but did not think San Ye could be of much help, especially since the other party was from the Great Wilderness Sword Palace.
Boom!
A wave of sword qi surged forth.
Countless peach blossoms converged, forming a massive sword that seemed to cleave the heavens!
As the figures drew closer, their aura became even more formidable.
They wore uniform attire, with the character 'sword' on their chests, standing out prominently.
Three men and two women.
Moreover, they were all very young, the oldest not even a hundred years old. In the world of cultivators, they were truly 'youngsters.'
"Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Ta'a?"
Finally, they stopped, halting about a hundred meters in front of Deng Ta'a. The lead person said coolly, "It took us quite a while to find you."
"You flatter me."
Deng Ta'a's expression remained calm, "I just like peach blossoms. The title of Sword God did not come from my mouth."
"That's for the best."
Another person smiled, "The title of Sword God is sacred. Not everyone is qualified to bear it."
"How about this?"
"Let my junior brother test you. If you can last a hundred rounds against him at the same realm, we’ll give you a chance to join the Great Wilderness Sword Palace."
"As an Outer Gate Overseer."
"If you work hard enough, perhaps you might even be called a Sword God in the future."
How arrogant!
Jianzi frowned slightly.
"These people from the Sacred Land are really too arrogant."
He was very displeased.
These guys were too arrogant, too proud!
They didn’t even take a Ninth Realm existence seriously?
But then he thought about it... and felt a bit helpless.
Alright, the Sacred Land indeed had that right.
After all, Ninth Realm cultivators were not rare in the Sacred Land.
But still...
This attitude was really annoying.
And they were also overly confident, weren’t they?
Any disciple could challenge and suppress Deng Ta'a, who was from a higher realm?
They looked at Deng Ta'a, wanting to see how he would handle it.
Deng Ta'a just smiled faintly, "What you say is reasonable, but I still prefer to say that I just like peach blossoms and have never claimed to be a Sword God."
"If you want to find a Sword God, perhaps Li Chunge is a better choice."
"Furthermore, I am a free spirit, accustomed to a carefree life. If I join the Great Wilderness Sword Palace, it might bring shame to the palace instead."
"So, there's no need to mention this matter again."
"Gentlemen, please proceed."
"..."
Well said!
Jianzi and Jiang Ni exchanged glances, both inwardly cheering for Deng Ta'a.
That's how you should respond!
Let the Great Wilderness Sword Palace's disciples be arrogant; there will always be someone who can teach them a lesson.
The five disciples of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace all frowned.
Clearly, they did not expect him to refuse so decisively. One of them couldn't help but say, "This is not up to you!"
"Moreover, being able to join the Sword Palace is a great honor for you. How dare you refuse?"
"Are you looking down on our Sword Palace?"
"This is too much of a burden, I can’t bear it." Deng Ta'a laughed, "Besides, I have no connection with the Sword Palace. Why must I join?"
"Hmph, I find it strange too." The Sword Palace disciple said coldly, "You’re just an ordinary sword cultivator wandering outside. What use is there in having a realm without substance?"
"Don’t think we are making things difficult for you, or that the Sword Palace can't do without you."
'Just a task given by the elders.'
"Therefore, today, you must either fight or fight!"
"..."
San Ye and Jiang Ni exchanged glances, then communicated telepathically, "A task given by the Sword Palace elders?"
"Considering Li Chunge also has trouble, can we understand that the Sword Palace wants to recruit or forcibly gather a group of Ninth Realm sword cultivators?"
"This..."
"There must be hidden circumstances!"
"But we don’t know the exact reason."
"..."
"..."
"The people from the Sacred Land are indeed as overbearing as ever."
Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Ta'a had a refined demeanor, but now he was in no good mood.
At the same time, he felt a bit frustrated.
The Sacred Land...
Too oppressive!
The Sacred Land is indeed very strong, and their disciples are all Heavenly Talents, but just a few Seventh Realm disciples, yet they dare to show off in front of a Ninth Realm cultivator, so arrogantly.
They didn’t even bring a protector!!
This is a certainty that I won’t dare to kill them or really teach them a lesson!
It’s simply...
Unreasonable!
For a moment, Deng Ta'a really wanted to teach them a harsh lesson.
But...
The Great Wilderness Sword Palace behind them is indeed formidable.
Facing their aggressive attitude, he chuckled, "However, if I can’t provoke them, can’t I avoid them?"
"If I want to leave, can you stop me?"
"You can try!"
The leader of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace stepped forward, his face unchanged, but in his hand appeared a golden net, exuding extraordinary power.
Another one immediately drew his sword, chuckling, "A monk can run, but the temple can’t. You said you like peach blossoms, right?"
"If you dare to leave, whether you can or not, I will destroy this peach blossom forest completely!"
"You... try to leave?"
Deng Ta'a frowned upon hearing this.
At that moment, a female disciple of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace, seeing the atmosphere become tense, stepped forward to soothe, "Why must it be so confrontational?
Action: Ji Haoyue
Deng Ta'a, you say you're lazy and reluctant to join the Great Wilderness Sword Palace, but it's not like it's a must."
"After all, the prerequisite for joining my Sword Palace is that you can spar with my senior brother within the same realm and hold out for a hundred moves."
"Otherwise... even if you want to join, you won't be able to."
Deng Ta'a: "..."
Jianzi's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but transmit his thoughts to Jiang Ni and San Ye, "Am I hearing this right?"
"Is this woman trying to 'soothe' me)???"
Jiang Ni: "..."
"My father always said I was a wild child who didn't follow rules and liked to slack off, but even I wouldn't dare to say something so stupid."
"What are these Sacred Land people thinking?!"
This is what they call soothing?
Don't be anxious. If you don't want to go, you might not have to. After all, it's possible that you won't even last a hundred moves against my senior brother~
These words...
They're so tactful!
There's no one as humiliating as this.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Deng Ta'a's three 'okays' confirmed their suspicions. He chuckled, "Since that's the case, let's give it a try."
Initially, he genuinely didn't want to fight.
Winning would be troublesome.
Losing would also be troublesome.
Not fighting was the best choice.
However, he had underestimated the arrogance of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace disciples.
All five of them were like dragons and phoenixes, each more ruthless than the last!
If he didn't fight now, he'd truly become a soft persimmon, ripe for the picking.
Anyone could pinch and kick him around.
Although Deng Ta'a was usually refined and easygoing, he was, after all, a Sword Cultivator.
The Shu Han had its romance, the Cao Wei its splendor, and the Jiangdong its rats. But Sword Cultivators had their... Martial Spirit!
Sword Cultivators would rather break than bend, and rather die than yield! Even when facing heavenly immortals, they had the courage to unsheathe their swords against the wind!
Sword Cultivators could be killed but not humiliated.
What about Sacred Land disciples?
What was so special about the Sacred Land?
At worst, it would be a battle with swords drawn!
"You there, what's your status in the Great Wilderness Sword Palace? State your name!"
"Direct disciple of the Sword Palace, Luo Yuan."
One of the disciples stepped forward, "First level of the Seventh Stage."
"Begin!"
"..."
"Just a direct disciple?"
Deng Ta'a's eyebrows twitched, struggling to suppress the anger in his heart.
Just a direct disciple!
Not even mentioning the Holy Son or Holy Maiden.
The least they could do was send a ranked disciple, right?
But it turned out to be just some unknown direct disciple?
The Great Wilderness Sword Palace wasn't the Ten Thousand Flower Sacred Land!
Each generation in the Ten Thousand Flower Sacred Land had only ten thousand disciples, and every direct disciple was precious. But in the Great Wilderness Sword Palace, Sword Cultivators were numerous. Every Elder had their own direct disciples, and some Elders had dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of them.
In other words, within the Great Wilderness Sword Palace, being a direct disciple wasn't that special.
And at this moment...
A direct disciple with no known background wanted to 'test' him.
A disciple at the first level of the Seventh Stage.
Testing him, a Sword Cultivator at the third level of the Ninth Stage.
Hahaha...
This was...
Reversing the Heaven's Pillar!
An insult.
This was a blatant insult.
If he lost, he'd become a laughingstock.
If he won...
There wouldn't be any glory in a Ninth Stage cultivator defeating a Seventh Stage one... Even with the advantage of cultivation realm, combat experience, and years of cultivation, wouldn't victory be expected?
Afterward, it was likely that the Great Wilderness Sword Palace would coerce him, forcing him to enter their ranks and who knows what kind of menial tasks they'd assign him.
This was...
Nonsensical.
But at this moment, not fighting was no longer an option.
Deng Ta'a's face grew colder, gently stroking the peach branch in his hand...
The rest of the group stepped back.
Just as Deng Ta'a was about to suppress his cultivation realm and make his move, Jianzi suddenly clenched his teeth, "Wait!"
"Senior."
"How about I take your place in this battle?"
Deng Ta'a was slightly startled and turned to look at Jianzi.
Luo Yuan laughed, not even glancing at Jianzi, "You? Are you worthy?"
"Who do you think you are? An unknown cat or dog, and you dare to challenge my Sword Palace direct disciple?"
"Jianzi of the Spirit Sword Sect!"
Jianzi took a step forward, his anger rising, and sword intent surged, "Is this identity not enough?"
"Oh?!"
Luo Yuan's gaze slowly moved, landing on Jianzi's unyielding face, and his smile grew wider, "Oh? So you're that Jianzi from the Spirit Sword Sect, known as the 'Holy Son' in a first-rate sect."
He emphasized the term 'Holy Son' heavily, the condescension was evident.
"With the identity of Jianzi, you barely have the qualifications."
"Since that's the case, I'll be magnanimous and give you this opportunity, granting you the qualifications to challenge me."
He still stood above everyone else.
In his eyes, even Jianzi of the Spirit Sword Sect was insignificant, and granting him the qualifications to challenge himself was an act of charity.
Jianzi's anger surged as he glared at Luo Yuan.
Even Deng Ta'a couldn't help but furrow his brows.
This was too arrogant!
"However, however,"
Luo Yuan continued, "I can be magnanimous and grant you the qualifications, but... there should be some reward, or else, where's the fun?"
"So, I heard you're a Sword Spirit Sacred Body, otherwise, heh."
"However, I am somewhat curious. You, with no heritage or foundation, how far have you developed the Sword Spirit Sacred Body?"
"It couldn't be that..."
"Not even one-tenth, right?"
"What do you want?" Jianzi's expression gradually turned solemn.
Knowing that he was a Sword Spirit Sacred Body, he still dared to be so arrogant?
Obviously, he was no pushover!
But then again, arrogance requires the capital of arrogance.
Being a direct disciple of the Sacred Land was one form of capital, and if he himself didn't have sufficient strength, how could he possibly be sent by the Sacred Land to challenge the Peach Blossom Sword God, Deng Ta'a? Even if he was crazy to the point of being brainless, it's impossible that everyone, including the elders of the Sword Palace, would be without brains.
So...
Absolutely not to be underestimated!
But... Jianzi suddenly smiled.
A smile that was especially relaxed and carefree.
So what if he has the confidence and ability? So what if he's strong? I don't believe you can be stronger than my master's uncle, my master's brother, or even Long Ao Jiao and the others.
I've witnessed countless Heavenly Pride, and I've fought with them countless times.
Although I was beaten every time, but... Compared to them, what are you?
With this thought, Jianzi suddenly felt somewhat dispirited.
Looking at Luo Yuan, his gaze towards Luo Yuan...
Suddenly, he wasn't as indignant and angry.
Arrogant? Indeed, he was arrogant.
But... Most likely, he's still brainless in his arrogance.
I'm dealing with someone brainless, so what?
Strong? My master's uncle and brother have beaten me countless times, and I'm still afraid of you?
2. The Sacred Land's direct disciple is brainless in his arrogance, daring to be so disrespectful and insult the Sacred Land's direct disciple? Don't you want to live anymore?
2. The others' expressions also turned ugly, their eyes fixed on Jianzi with a strange and angry gaze.
3. Too arrogant! Daring to curse and belittle the Sacred Land's direct disciple like this? This is a complete reversal of the Heavenly Dao!
4. We are all people of the Sword Palace, sharing glory and shame... How dare a chicken from a first-rate sect like you talk big here?
5. "What did I say?" Jianzi's smile grew brighter, and at first glance, he seemed amiable and gentle, but the words that came out of his mouth made everyone's eyebrows jump.
6. "I say, you're a dog's fart."
7. "Still want to fight across realms? Come, come, come, I'll give you a chance, letting you fight with all your might against me, and you'll know what it's like to be beaten!"
8. "..."
9. "Okay, okay, okay!"
10. Luo Yuan was so infuriated that his eyes turned black.
The disciples of the Sacred Land have always maintained their dignity, even when insulting others, they are extremely restrained, and they would never use foul language like Jianzi, who is so direct and crude.
Instead, they use a strange and ambiguous tone or a condescending and mocking attitude to enrage their opponents.
No one dares to insult the people of the Sacred Land.
But today, they encountered a bold and fearless individual.
For the first time, they faced such foul language, and they were almost driven mad by the insults.
"Good, very good. Too good."
"If you insist on seeking death, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
"Come and die!"
Luo Yuan stood with his sword drawn, his entire body exuded sword aura, and his sword intent was almost condensed into a Sword Dao Realm!)
The Sword Dao Realm is a state where sword intent is elevated to the 'third' level, allowing for the formation of a 'miniature Sword Dao world'. Within this small world, the one who condenses it becomes the master of that world!
However, elevating sword intent is extremely challenging. Many Eighth Realm cultivators spend their entire lives without reaching the third level and fail to comprehend the Sword Dao Realm.
But at this moment, Luo Yuan, merely at the first level of the Seventh Realm, with just an 'opening move', had achieved the Sword Dao Realm!
This demonstrated his extraordinary talent and formidable strength.
If an ordinary Sixth Realm Sword Cultivator witnessed such a scene, they would likely be shocked speechless.
But Jianzi...
"Heh."
With a light laugh, he said, "So, this is what you rely on? The Sword Dao Realm?"
Boom!!!
An even more massive and terrifying Sword Dao Realm instantly descended.
In just an instant, it enveloped, devoured, and crushed Luo Yuan's Sword Dao Realm!
