Chapter 298: San Ye's Sacred Land Inheritance! Battling Two Generations of Sword Gods, Opening the Heaven Gate! (Part 1)
"Then... I am grateful."
Deng Ta'a slightly cupped his hands towards San Ye, expressing his gratitude.
Others might not have noticed, but he could feel it.
Within San Ye, there was an incredibly terrifying power, especially the pure sword intent, which made Deng Ta'a feel that he was not facing a mere weed or any ordinary Sword Cultivator.
Instead...
It was a celestial sword that had fallen into the mortal realm!
San Ye's strength was unknown to him.
But he was certain it was not weak!
And it was definitely stronger than Jianzi.
Even if Xin Wuji's strength was slightly stronger than Jianzi's, facing San Ye, he would have no chance of winning.
So...
Why not give it a try? As for the favor owed, it could be repaid later.
Letting them teach these arrogant Sacred Land disciples a lesson was indeed more appropriate than doing it himself, at least he wouldn't be accused of bullying the weak.
"???"
Xin Wuji was stunned.
The other Sacred Land disciples were equally bewildered.
Even Luo Yuan, who was healing his injuries, suddenly opened his eyes wide, his lifeless eyes fixed on San Ye... But a moment later, he couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Xin Wuji, even more furious, said, "You dare to challenge me?"
"A mere weed dares to challenge me?"
"Who do you think you are?"
"And who do you think I am?"
"He's at least a Jianzi, someone of some status. What about you?"
"What are you, then?!"
San Ye didn't have as many thoughts as Jianzi; he was much simpler. He calmly replied, "As you say, I'm just a weed."
"How so?"
"Don't you even have the courage and conviction to defeat a weed?"
"Do you think you're worthy of facing me?"
"Worthy or not, it's never about status, only strength."
"Are you not confident in your own strength?" San Ye retorted.
"..."
"Fine, fine, fine!"
"Since you're so arrogant, I can't blame you!"
Xin Wuji was extremely annoyed.
Damn it! This guy is completely disregarding the natural order!
I'm one of the top disciples in the Sacred Land, and he's saying I'm not confident in my strength?!
"A life-and-death battle!"
"Do you dare?"
"A weed, with a life as fragile as paper, dares to speak so boldly and challenge me? You'll have to pay a price for that."
Jianzi: "..."
Holy crap!
I get beaten by him every time, and now you say he's not worthy and want a life-and-death battle?
What are you thinking?!
At this moment...
Both sides thought the other was completely disregarding the natural order!
It was like they were talking nonsense!
But...
Who was truly disregarding the natural order? Only a fight would tell.
San Ye's softest leaf gently 'nodded': "Okay, give it your all, no need to hold back."
"But I'll hold back and won't harm your life."
"Otherwise, it'll be troublesome."
The Sacred Land was too domineering.
Not only were they domineering, but these guys were also shameless and stubborn!
Who knows if the entire Great Wilderness Sword Palace was like this? If so, they couldn't be provoked casually, or else the trouble would be endless, and the consequences severe.
And this...
Was the sorrow of those from 'smaller powers'.
When facing someone from the Sacred Land, even if their strength was inferior, they still had to 'leave room for future encounters'. Seeking fast and furious revenge?
They didn't even dare to think about it.
It was painful, but fortunately, San Ye didn't care much about these things; his heart was devoted to the Sword Dao.
Therefore, he didn't feel too oppressed.
"Fine, fine, fine!"
"A mere weed, and before we even fight, you want me to give it my all, but you... will hold back and not harm my life? Haha, that's wonderful."
"Too wonderful!"
"Come, come, come, just how capable are you to speak so boldly here?"
Xin Wuji burst into action.
Using the Great Wilderness Sword Art,
And clearly more refined and powerful than Luo Yuan's Great Wilderness Sword Art! His strength far surpassed Luo Yuan's.
However, facing this sword, San Ye didn't show any signs of panic or unease.
Until the sword energy was about to strike him, he slowly extended his own sword.
An ordinary sword.
Just 'extended' like that.
Showing no flair or 'special effects'.
But this sword caused Deng Ta'a's face to change dramatically, and he whispered, "Simplified Great Dao!"
"It..."
"Has already reached such a level?!"
This was a realm that even he hadn't reached yet! Simplified Great Dao, or in other words, simplifying the complex.
This was a return to the 'essence' of 'simplicity', but within this seemingly simple sword, there was an endless amount of power.
As Li Chungang would say, "For me, a single sword and countless swords are already indistinguishable."
A wooden sword and an iron sword were also indistinguishable.
A sword that simplified the complex.
The most relaxed and effortless, but for the enemy, it was the most powerful sword.
This sword was extended just in time to strike the enemy's weak point, just enough... to break their offense, yet also just enough to suppress them.
Just like this moment!
Pop...
Like a bubble being pricked.
Xin Wuji's intimidating sword, with its impressive 'special effects', suddenly 'fizzled out'.
Instead, the ordinary sword's energy, which was slashed out, passed by Xin Wuji's neck.
All protective treasures, defensive sword energy, and sword intent lost their effectiveness.
It was unclear if it was due to the speed being too fast to react or if they were completely ineffective.
Hiss.
Xin Wuji didn't even have time to slash out a second sword.
His neck suddenly felt cold.
Immediately, a stinging pain accompanied by warmth.
He reached out to touch it...
A sword wound, half an inch deep into the flesh.
Blood trickled out...
Although the injury didn't seem severe, he was well aware that if his opponent had used just a little more force or aimed a little more precisely, his head would have been severed!
With San Ye's terrifying strength, killing him would be as easy as snapping his fingers.
The gap was too vast!
Xin Wuji's face turned deathly pale in an instant.)
The disparity was so great that he almost couldn't bear to look directly at it.)
With all his might, he had clenched his teeth and executed a sword strike.
But it was effortlessly countered by a mere weed, which then...
If it wanted to, it could instantly kill him!
So, it was true when it said it was holding back.
So...
Could it be that he was truly so pathetic?
But this didn't make sense.
He was one of the most outstanding disciples personally taught by the Sacred Land, while it was just a weed. What the...?!
Was the script flipped?
"Senior Brother!"
The four of them immediately rushed forward, glaring at San Ye with anger in their eyes, but...
Their eyes were filled with fear.
As sword geniuses, they could clearly see the terror of that sword strike.
Simplified Great Dao—they were far from reaching such a realm, but they had witnessed it in their elders or powerful figures, or at least heard about it.
Therefore, they all understood.
And they were certain that even if the five of them joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for San Ye.
Even with just a few casual sword strikes, they would all be in mortal peril!
It was only because of their status as personally taught disciples of the Sacred Land that they dared to draw their swords and face San Ye. Otherwise...
They would have long fled, running as fast as they could.
"Oh? What's wrong?"
"Are you going to start making excuses again? Do all five of you want to fight together this time?"
San Ye had already returned to sitting on Jianzi's head.
He didn't even bother to look at them.
Jianzi, not wanting to miss this opportunity to show off, said, "If that's the case, we should have some fun."
"Is the Great Wilderness Sword Palace so arrogant that they can casually break the Heavenly Dao Vow?"
"If that's the case, I'd truly be in awe."
Amidst the mockery, he felt a surge of emotions.
Indeed, it was as he had thought!
San Ye...
Was this twisted.
And he...
Was the one who had been tormented by this twisted individual for several years.
From the beginning, he could barely keep up with him for a move or two, but now, it was always a one-hit kill.
And each time, the move that defeated him was different!
At first, it was those dazzling and flashy sword techniques.
He was overwhelmed by the sheer variety of sword techniques.
Later...
It was the same sword techniques as his own.
However, even with the same techniques and the same cultivation realm, the power San Ye exhibited was overwhelming, and he fell with no room for negotiation.
Recently...
It was like this—Simplified Great Dao.
With just one sword strike, he was instantly defeated.
No matter what sword technique he used, no matter how casual or pathetic the sword strike from San Ye looked, there was no room for negotiation.
He was instantly defeated without any chance to resist.
Jianzi's strikes left him questioning his very existence. If it weren't for his ancient inheritance, he would have been broken long ago.
He had thought it was because of his own weakness.
But now, seeing this...
Hmm...
He felt relieved.
It wasn't because of his weakness; even the personally taught disciples of the Sacred Land would have been defeated.
He even suspected that not only the personally taught disciples of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace but even their ranked disciples or the Holy Son would have been unable to withstand a single strike from San Ye.
It was indeed just a weed.
But its talent, its sword dao...
Even a Sword Immortal would shed tears and admit defeat!
...
Facing Jianzi's mockery, Xin Wuji felt his hands and feet turn cold.
Embarrassment was inevitable.
His mind was filled with disbelief.
At the same time...
A terrifying figure flashed through his mind.
Among the people of this era, there was only one person who could be so terrifying, so terrifying that it made him despair and lose the courage to draw his sword.
But now, there was a second one.
But...
It was just a weed.
No one would believe it, dammit!
"Let's go!"
Staying any longer would only result in more ridicule from Jianzi, and there was no point in it.
Defeat was defeat.
Moreover, their defeat was so thorough...
What more was there to say?
Xin Wuji turned his head, his expression seemingly proud, but upon closer inspection, one could sense the weariness and helplessness of a lost dog.
...
"Senior Brother, are we... just going to leave like this?"
Luo Yuan was extremely dissatisfied, his heart filled with anger and reluctance. "This is the task assigned by the elders, and we've come all this way. If we just leave now..."
The other three nodded in agreement.
"Shut up!"
Xin Wuji took a deep breath and said angrily, "Can you defeat them?"
"Or can the four of you defeat that damned weed?"
The four of them turned pale.
Who could defeat them?
"But can't we use the authority of the Sacred Land to force Deng Ta'a to submit?"
"What about the vow?" Xin Wuji felt powerless. "Do we have to completely disgrace the Sacred Land before we stop? Besides, haven't you felt the terror of that damned weed?"
"The Simplified Great Dao is indeed terrifying, but if we use all our means and more treasures, we might still have a chance..." A female disciple spoke slowly.
"Hahaha!"
Xin Wuji let out a cold laugh. "We might still have a chance?"
"Do you think you can defeat the Holy Son even if you use all your treasures?"
"Senior Brother, you're so funny," the female disciple forced a laugh. "How could I possibly be the Holy Son's opponent?"
"Wait!"
Suddenly, she realized.
"Senior Brother, you mean... that weed's strength is already close to that of His Highness the Holy Son?"
Xin Wuji shook his head.
Everyone was left dumbfounded.
What nonsense are you talking about? Just as they were about to speak, they heard him mutter, "I'm not sure if it's close to His Highness the Holy Son either, after all, His Highness's strength has long surpassed the mortal realm, and it's not something we can spy on."
"But..."
"I saw His Highness's shadow in that weed."
"I also felt the terrifying pressure that I had only felt before in His Highness's peers."
"Hiss!!!"
Luo Yuan and the other three were startled, turning their heads towards the back, even though they couldn't see any trace of San Ye and the others, they still didn't turn back for a long time.)
"It's just a weed, yet it's so terrifying..."
No one knew the horror of their Holy Son better than them.
It was just a weed, yet it was so powerful that it could only be described as inconcease it could only be described as inconceivable!
"..."
...
"Senior, we have fulfilled your request."
Jianzi smiled slightly and looked at Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Ta'a.
"I should be thanking you for helping me solve this problem."
Deng Ta'a laughed heartily.
He wasn't exactly afraid, but this problem would have been difficult to solve perfectly on his own.
"I think the Great Wilderness Sword Palace sent these junior disciples here with this plan in mind, knowing that even if we could handle it, we wouldn't be able to solve it perfectly."
"They wanted to pressure us into submitting and joining the Great Wilderness Sword Palace."
"I don't know what the Great Wilderness Sword Palace has discovered, or what that 'message' Luo Yuan mentioned is about."
Deng Ta'a felt a bit regretful.
Luo Yuan had clearly let something slip!
If there was a chance, they might have been able to find out more.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
"Senior, you're on the list, and I'll look into it further. I'll gather more information to see if there are any other Ninth Stage Sword Cultivators that the Great Wilderness Sword Palace is keeping an eye on."
"If there are..."
"Then the Great Wilderness Sword Palace must have a secret that cannot be revealed, and this secret is extremely important."
"So important that even the Great Wilderness Sword Palace, an existence like that, needs to rely on external forces!"
"This matter..."
"Cannot be ignored."
"We must treat it with caution!"
If it were any other sacred land, Jianzi might not have paid too much attention, but as the only sword cultivation sacred land, the Great Wilderness Sword Palace had intricate connections with the Spirit Sword Sect and all sword cultivators in the world.
It couldn't be taken lightly!
"Indeed, it should be taken seriously."
Deng Ta'a nodded slightly, "As a token of my gratitude, I should have agreed to your request immediately and sparred with San Ye. But Li Sword God is also my good friend, and I'm not sure about his situation. I don't know what's going on over there, so I can't promise anything."
"Why don't we go and take a look?"
Jianzi looked at San Ye.
San Ye spoke softly, "That's fine."
"I won't hide it from you, Senior. Li Sword God is also one of the people I want to spar with."
"So that's the case!" Deng Ta'a's excitement, "Have you hit a bottleneck?"
"It's even more astonishing than I imagined!"
Why would San Ye, who had reached such a high realm, want to spar with Ninth Stage Sword Cultivators?
Obviously, his Sword Dao had hit a bottleneck!
Only a Ninth Stage Sword Cultivator could give him the 'inspiration' he needed!
This was truly terrifying.
"Then let's go."
"As for Li Sword God, even if he agrees, I'll fight him until he agrees."
After Deng Ta'a's initial shock, he waved his hand.
The peach branch in his hand soared, instantly transforming into countless sword intents, which then condensed into a grand formation, enveloping and protecting the vast peach blossom forest.
Then, he pointed and formed a stable and wide spatial passage, "Please."
"..."
...
They took a step forward.
In the distance, sword qi filled the sky.
Jianzi blinked, stunned.
"Uncle Xu?"
Who else could be fighting the disciples of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace if not Xu Shishu?
"Jianzi?"
"You're here?"
Xu Shishu showed a smile uglier than crying, "Let's talk later."
The battle resumed.
Jianzi understood, "So Li Sword God is forcing Uncle Xu to fight!"
Deng Ta'a laughed, "He's smart."
"But it's also in line with his character."
"He's not one to follow rules blindly. He's not easily bound, and if you want him to fight, he'll bring Xu Fenglai to 'fight' as well. Interesting, interesting!"
Deng Ta'a praised the interesting situation, but he also sighed.
Fortunately, he had Jianzi and San Ye on his side.
Otherwise...
He might have to resort to such 'twisted ideas' too?
The battle started and ended quickly.
The Great Wilderness Sword Palace's direct disciples were naturally strong, but were they weaker than the Moon Holding Sect's direct disciples?
Moreover, Xu Shishu, as the protagonist template, might lose, but he would never be defeated so easily by an ordinary 'antagonist'.
Jianzi and his group had barely arrived when Xu Shishu suppressed his opponent.
"Three rounds, two wins. I've won two in a row."
Xu Shishu said calmly, "There's no need to continue, right?"
"..."
"Of course, we must fight!"
The third disciple from the Great Wilderness Sword Palace appeared, almost gritting his teeth.
This concerned the reputation of the Sword Palace.
"What a nuisance."
Xu Shishu helplessly spread his hands, "Then I surrender, I admit defeat."
"The third round, you win."
Anyway, they had already won two rounds, and the bet was already won. Since it was like this, why bother fighting another round? Why not take it easy?
"Xu Shishu is indeed interesting.
Jiang Ni covered her mouth and chuckled.
On the opposite side, the five direct disciples of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace looked as if they had swallowed dead flies, their faces extremely unpleasant.
"You're insulting us!!?"
"How can this be called an insult?"
Xu Fenglai said helplessly, "It’s a relay battle!
