At the apprenticeship ceremony of the Qingyang Sword Sect.
Xiao Yang, amidst everyone’s gaze, showed no mercy towards Jiang Ting and directly exposed the affair between her and little junior brother Qin Fei.
Suddenly, Jiang Ting became the target of scorn as the cheater in everyone’s eyes.
Of course, Jiang Ting’s behavior was truly despicable.
Everyone in the Qingyang Sword Sect knew how good she was to Qin Fei, always siding with him and protecting him.
That was an undeniable fact.
So, Jiang Ting’s explanations were pretty weak.
“Senior Brother, it’s not what you think…”
Jiang Ting still wanted to defend herself.
“Okay, I’ll say it one more time, and it’s the last time: there’s no future for us.”
Xiao Yang didn’t want to tangle with Jiang Ting.
A girl like her really wasn’t worth his affection.
In his past life, he must have been blind to have liked Jiang Ting.
In his last life, if it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have died at Qin Fei’s sword.
Now that he got a second chance, how could he repeat the same mistake?
He absolutely wouldn’t repeat it.
“Senior Brother…”
Jiang Ting was still unwilling to give up.
“Enough!”
At that moment, Jiang Qitian roared angrily.
“Xiao Yang, after all, we were once teacher and student. I didn’t want to make a fuss with you, but you’ve repeatedly slandered and tarnished me. Now you’re causing trouble and ruining our Qingyang Sword Sect’s apprenticeship ceremony. You truly don’t take our sect seriously. Do you think I wouldn’t dare to kill you for such humiliation?”
Jiang Qitian glared at Xiao Yang, his right hand gripping the Qingyang Sword tightly.
A chilling killing intent erupted from him.
Everyone was taken aback.
“Half Saint…”
Li Chenyu and Luo Feixian couldn’t help but feel moved.
Jiang Qitian’s cultivation had actually reached the Half Saint level.
His training speed was incredibly fast!
Chen Taixu’s expression also turned grave.
With Jiang Qitian at the Half Saint level and wielding the Qingyang Sword, he could probably contend with actual Saint-level experts.
This was getting troublesome.
As the Sword Guardian of the Qingyang Sword Sect, Chen Taixu was the most aware of the power of the Qingyang Sword.
“Dad, no!”
Jiang Ting was panicking; Jiang Qitian was genuinely intent on killing Xiao Yang.
Once Jiang Qitian’s killing intent arose, the pressure was immense.
Everyone’s expression changed dramatically.
Especially the three thousand disciples in the square.
These three thousand disciples were merely beginner martial practitioners. How could they withstand Jiang Qitian’s killing intent?
The three thousand disciples were utterly terrified.
“Senior Brother…”
“Boss…”
Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan were also anxious.
Chu Guixi was even more fearful.
If Xiao Yang died, would he be buried alongside him?
He had the forbidden technique implanted by Xiao Yang!
“Master…”
Ye Ling’er clenched her fists, her gaze towards Jiang Qitian turning sharp.
Xiao Yang was her master, and he had taught her the Ancient Beast Control Technique. She absolutely couldn’t just watch him perish under Jiang Qitian’s sword.
With her Dragon Soul protecting her, what was Jiang Qitian to her?
Everyone was nervously watching the standoff between the two.
They couldn’t help but look at Xiao Yang with newfound respect.
Because they noticed that even in the face of Jiang Qitian’s terrifying killing intent, Xiao Yang remained calm, standing before him and coolly meeting Jiang Qitian’s gaze.
In fact, everyone thought Xiao Yang had become a cripple after blowing up his dantian during the Grand Competition.
A cripple could withstand Jiang Qitian’s killing intent?
Chen Taixu and Long Chen stepped forward, standing by Xiao Yang’s sides.
“Today is a celebratory day for the three thousand disciples of our Qingyang Sword Sect. I don’t want to see bloodshed; now get lost!”
Jiang Qitian yelled at Xiao Yang and the others, ringing in everyone’s ears.
Everyone was astonished.
Jiang Qitian was truly furious.
“Jiang Qitian, today you can’t drive us away!”
Chen Taixu said in a deep voice.
“Then you can all die!”
Jiang Qitian didn’t care, ready to draw his sword.
“Jiang Qitian, you treacherous bastard, do you really want to kill and silence us?”
Long Chen yelled at Jiang Qitian.
“What…”
At Long Chen’s shout, the entire square fell silent once more.
Everyone stared at Long Chen in shock.
Jiang Qitian was treacherously silencing his own sect?
What in the world was going on?
“Long Chen, do you dare slander the Sect Leader?”
Luo Zhen roared angrily.
“Whether I slander him or not, he knows in his heart!” Long Chen gritted his teeth and shouted.
He wanted nothing more than to tear Jiang Qitian to pieces.
“Long Chen, you actually claim the Sect Leader is treacherous?”
Ling Daochen was also furious.
“Long Chen, if you insult the Sect Leader, you deserve to die!”
Lei Xuan glared at Long Chen with murderous intent.
Other elders were also furiously staring at Long Chen.
Long Chen was seriously rubbing the Qingyang Sword Sect’s face in the dirt!
Jiang Qitian treacherous against his own sect?
Did the Qingyang Sword Sect still want to maintain its dignity?
The disciples of Qingyang Sword Sect were also flabbergasted.
This was too explosive.
*Clang!*
At that moment, Jiang Qitian suddenly drew the Qingyang Sword, directly slicing down towards Xiao Yang and the others.
This sword came crashing down like a heavenly fire, with sword light sweeping away everything in its path.
The surging True Yang Sword Qi burned through the void like an invisible inferno.
Everyone felt the scorching waves approaching, as if their blood was about to ignite.
This sword seemed to split heaven and earth in half.
Everyone was horrified.
Xiao Yang looked at the descending sword light, his pupils involuntarily contracting.
Jiang Qitian was indeed powerful.
He actually had the audacity to strike them directly.
Jiang Qitian’s intention was clear: to kill and silence.
No matter if what Long Chen said was true or not, he intended to take out Xiao Yang, Long Chen, and Chen Taixu with one sword.
No witnesses, no proof.
Jiang Qitian’s sword strike was too sudden.
No one expected him to attack out of nowhere.
Ye Ling’er wanted to rush to save Xiao Yang.
But it was already too late.
Everyone was stupefied.
Qin Fei, on the other hand, was quite pleased.
This time, Xiao Yang was definitely doomed.
However, he was a bit disappointed.
Because if Xiao Yang died at Jiang Qitian’s hands, it wouldn’t be him who took him out personally.
“Dad, no…”
Jiang Ting was terrified, ready to jump in front of Xiao Yang.
However, Qin Fei dashed forward and grabbed Jiang Ting.
At the moment when it looked like Xiao Yang was about to be struck down by Jiang Qitian’s sword.
*Clang!*
The sound of metal clashing echoed.
A sword appeared over Xiao Yang’s head, blocking the strike of the Qingyang Sword.
“What…”
Countless people in the square were stunned at this scene.
Someone actually blocked Jiang Qitian’s Qingyang Sword.
Li Chenyu stared in disbelief at what she was seeing.
Because she had previously been defeated by Jiang Qitian wielding the Qingyang Sword in the Northern Mountain Earth Veins.
That strike was something she couldn’t withstand.
If Jiang Qitian hadn’t held back, she would have died long ago.
At that time, Jiang Qitian hadn’t even reached the Half Saint level.
And now, Jiang Qitian’s cultivation had broken through to Half Saint.
Yet someone blocked the sword of a Half Saint!
When everyone saw who had blocked Jiang Qitian’s Qingyang Sword, they were totally awestruck.
The person who halted Jiang Qitian’s sword was none other than Chen Taixu.
At that moment, Chen Taixu was holding a sword that gleamed a celestial blue.
“The sword is as blue as the sky, and its aura flows like water… the Qingyun Sword?”
Jiang Qitian looked at Chen Taixu’s sword in shock.
“What, it’s actually the Qingyun Sword?”
“How could this be?”
“Wasn’t it said that hundreds of years ago, during the Demon Sect’s raid on the Qingyun Sect, the Qingyun Sword was taken by the Demon Sect?”
The square erupted in chaos.
This was the Qingyun Sword!
It had been absent for hundreds of years!
This sword was on par with the Qingyang Sword and was one of the three divine swords of the Northern Region.
On the platform, Qin Fei stared at the Qingyun Sword in Chen Taixu’s hand, filled with excitement.
The Qingyun Sword had appeared.
And the Fuyiao Sword was currently at the Fuyiao Sword Sect.
Once he got his hands on all three divine swords, he could break the seal of the Demon Abyss and release the demon clan trapped for endless ages.
Once the demon clan returned to the human realm, wouldn’t the whole world belong to them?
“Hmph!”
Chen Taixu sneered and shook the Qingyun Sword in his hand.
In the next moment, a stream of water-blue sword light erupted from the Qingyun Sword, directly pushing Jiang Qitian back.
“Half Saint?”
Jiang Qitian was shocked, as he landed on the platform, staring at Chen Taixu in disbelief.
When Chen Taixu left the Qingyang Sword Sect, he was only at the pinnacle of the Divine Martial Realm.
How long had it been since then for him to break through to Half Saint?
This was impossible!
Jiang Qitian knew very well about Chen Taixu’s cultivation.
Chen Taixu had remained stuck at the pinnacle of the Divine Martial Realm for a long time, unable to break through.
But now, after just hanging out with Xiao Yang for a little while, Chen Taixu had advanced to Half Saint.
What was going on?
Jiang Qitian was very curious.
The other elders of the Qingyang Sword Sect were equally curious.
“Jiang Qitian, you still enjoy your killing and silencing, huh?”
Xiao Yang looked indifferently at Jiang Qitian on the platform.
Jiang Qitian gripped the Qingyang Sword, standing tall on the platform, looking down at Xiao Yang with a chilling glare.
“Slandering the Sect Leader is a grave sin; where are the inner disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect?!”
Qin Fei shouted loudly.
In the next moment, figures rushed in from all directions.
Suddenly, the air was filled with disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect stepping on flying swords.
“What…”
Everyone was shocked at this scene.
The Qingyang Sword Sect had only established itself in the Yuanwu Immortal Domain for a little over a year, yet the disciples were all experiencing significant improvements in cultivation?
The sky was filled with soaring sword qi.
The sword lights blooming from those figures illuminated the sky.
“Form the Qingyang Burning Heavens Sword Formation; eradicate the traitors!”
Qin Fei roared.
Countless spectators’ expressions changed dramatically.
The Qingyang Burning Heavens Sword Formation was the Qingyang Sword Sect’s ultimate killing formation.
Although the Qingyang Sword Sect didn’t have a Sword Saint in residence, no other sect dared to underestimate them.
The reason was simple.
The Qingyang Sword Sect possessed the Qingyang Burning Heavens Sword Formation and the Qingyang Sword.
Combined, the formation and the Qingyang Sword could decimate even the utmost existence at the Sacred Martial Realm.
In this brutal world, powerful strength was the foundation of dominance.
Seeing Jiang Qitian about to activate the Qingyang Burning Heavens Sword Formation.
But Xiao Yang remained calm and composed.
“Senior Brother, hurry up and apologize to Dad!”
Jiang Ting anxiously shouted.
Once Jiang Qitian activated the sword formation, Xiao Yang would truly be finished.
Not even Chen Taixu, who had the Qingyun Sword, could save him!
