“Ding Ding Ding.....” However, it seemed like the sharp sword that pierced towards Ximen Wuya’s chest had shattered inch by inch and broke.

It was because the sword did not reach Ximen Wuya’s chest but was instead blocked by his fine sword.

Ximen Wuya had made an astonishing judgment regarding where Wuying was about to stab and moved his sword into position to block in advance. It would have been too late if he had reacted after Wuying attacked because his opponent was faster.

After the sharp sword in Wuying’s hand broke, the two stood still in silence.

The Yin Yang Sect was shocked once again. Wuying was their adjudicator and the best killer in the world. He was even capable of killing elites two levels higher than him. But this time, he had lost to Ximen Wuya, which was perhaps the first time he’s ever failed in his entire life.

“The Wind Phantom is undoubtedly unique in the world, defeating enemies with one move without fail,” Ximen Wuya said. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and extracted a fine sword from his left chest, a seemingly invisible fine sword.

Wuying said, “People have only ever seen me wield my sword with my left hand and concluded that I was left-handed. The truth is that I’m much faster with the sword using my right hand. It’s just that I never had the chance to use it previously. Only when I fight Ximen Wuya, the City Lord, do I have the chance to wield the sword with my right hand.”

Everyone was shocked once again. No one had ever seen Wuying wield the sword with his right hand. Everyone thought he was left-handed. No one ever thought that it was merely because he didn’t need to use his right hand.

“But, due to the fact that I needed to use my right hand today, half of my ‘Wind Phantom’ name has been tarnished.” Wuying sighed. Then, he bowed to Ximen Wuya and said, “Thank you, Ximen Wuya, for showing mercy, or else I would’ve been crushed.”

“Bang Bang Bang....” Then, energy suddenly exploded within Wuying’s body several dozen times. His entire body became bloody, and blood spurted out from the seven apertures of his head.

Ximen Wuya passed the bloody sword that he pulled out of his chest to Wuying. “Brother Wuying, you’ve also shown me mercy. Otherwise, I could have possibly died.”

“Throughout my life, there aren’t many whom I respect. The first would definitely be Apprentice Brother Dongfang Niemie. Apprentice Brother Wuying, you are another. You are by far the only martial artist who I’ve seen solely focus on martial technique. If you were to practice Xuan techniques, you could have been one of the world’s Gurus.”

Wuying took back his own sword and wiped it with care. “I’ve loved my sword my entire life. I am the sword and the sword is me. If I were to practice Xuan techniques, it would mean betraying myself. Master Dongfang Niemie is no longer in this world. Hence, there is no longer a reason for me to stay in the Yin Yang Sect. From today onwards, there will be no more Wuying in the Yin Yang Sect.”

After saying that, Wuying instantly vanished into the night sky.

The Yin Yang Sect remained silent.

Looking towards where Wuying had disappeared, Ximen Wuya lightly wiped at the blood stain on his chest. “Who’s next?”

At this moment, an old man slowly walked out and stood in front of him, appearing as if he had just walked out of one’s imagination.

This old man was holding a dragon head walking stick. He had a hunched back, a head full of white hair, wrinkles all over his face, and was seemingly over a hundred years old. He was one of Yin Yang Sect’s Great Elders, Ning Busi. He was currently a hundred and five years old.

“Ximen Wuya, I’m a generation older than you. Even Master Dongfang Niemie was nurtured by me.” Ning Busi coughed. “When I was on the mountain, I had heard of how great Cloud Sky City’s Ximen Wuya was, but those were just rumors. But, today I’ve witnessed your strength. It’s truly amazing.”

“Uncle over-praises me,” Ximen Wuya replied, bowing respectfully.

“Don’t be so humble. You say that you aren’t as competent as Dongfang Niemie, but from what I’ve seen, I don’t think you’re far behind him. Master Dongfang is gone. Perhaps, it would be nice if we could have you be the new Yin Yang Sect Head. At the very least, you could guarantee that the Yin Yang Sect will not be defeated for the next fifty years.”

When he uttered those words, Dongfang Bingling and the others’ facial expressions changed.

“Unfortunately, I have no authority in the Yin Yang Sect, while your Cloud Sky City also has the status of traitor. You are too strong. For the future of the Yin Yang Sect, I have to try my best. Don’t blame me, Ximen Wuya.”

“I don’t dare,” Ximen Wuya replied.

“In the end, however, I’m still an elder, so I will only use one Xuan technique. If you could endure it, I will no longer get involved in matters tonight,” Ning Busi promised.

“I abide,” Ximen Wuya said.

Ning Busi had gained the title of Guru a decade ago and was also Dongfang Niemie’s uncle. He was truly one of the world’s top elites and was one of the Yin Yang Sect’s pillars. During the past decade, although Dongfang Niemie wasn’t around, since Ning Busi was still alive, no one dared offend Yin Yang Sect.

Ning Busi slowly lifted the dragon head walking stick, and a blue flame emerged.

“Boom, Boom!” Thunder boomed in the sky and a thick lightning bolt struck the surface of the sea.

The roar of a dragon sounded out, and a fiery dragon rushed out from Ning Busi’s walking stick. It grew bigger and bigger until it ultimately transformed into a gigantic fiery dragon that was several dozen meters long. It circled and roared in the sky and started spitting clouds of flame.

The surface of the sea suddenly exploded, kicking up tall waves over ten meters tall. The waters roiled, resembling a fire dragon.

Ximen Wuya sucked in a cold breath and watched the dragon circling in the air. He certainly knew what it was.

A Ninth-Rank Xuan Beast, the legendary fiery devil scale was actually kept by Ning Busi as a soul weapon.

In the entire world, there was no one other than Wuying who solely focused on swordsmanship. All other martial artists focused on Xuan techniques due to their amazing destructive power and their long range. In addition, the combination attack of Xuan technique and soul weapon was devastating.

“Dragon Tactic That Never Dies,” Ning Busi yelled, and instantly, his entire body burst into flame. The dragon that was hovering in the sky suddenly shattered into countless flames and merged with Ning Busi’s body.

Ning Busi’s body expanded, transforming his thin frame into a humanoid flame ten meters tall.

Countless small dragon flames circled around him.

“Starry Universe Sword Tactic,” Ximen Wuya shouted. The sword he was holding flew up into the air and glowed extremely bright all of a sudden.

The sword grew brighter and brighter and was aggressively absorbing all of the Xuan energy in the sea. Finally, the sword was shining so brightly that it seemed like a star, clearly visible for hundreds of miles.

At this moment, the sword turned into a gigantic glowing sword several dozen meters tall.

“Split!”

The gigantic glowing sword in the air suddenly split into countless small meteor-like light swords, all of which then flew towards Ximen Wuya.

The scene where hundreds of thousands of sharp, glowing swords were circling around Ximen Wuya was awe-inspiring. Each and every sharp, glowing sword had a soul and consciousness.

“Sword Soul? It’s actually the Sword Soul? Someone in the world has actually mastered Sword Soul?!” everyone from the Yin Yang Sect exclaimed disbelievingly.

Sword Soul was where the martial artist did not use a Xuan beast to form his soul weapon. Instead, he trained his precious sword until it developed a soul of its own.

Compared to using a Xuan beast to form a soul weapon, this method was ten times harder. However, once the martial artist succeeded, the effect was extremely shocking. This was because to nurture the sword’s soul, it had to absorb numerous Xuan beast soul weapons. As a result, Sword Soul was also known as the King of soul weapons.

The Sword Soul was the King of soul weapons! There were not more than three people in the entire world who have managed to cultivate it.

“How nice would it have been if you were a disciple of the Yin Yang Sect,” Ning Busi said regretfully.

“But, since you are the City Lord of Cloud Sky City, the stronger you are, the more dangerous it will be for my Yin Yang Sect. I can’t let Cloud Sky City gain legitimacy and reduce my Yin Yang Sect into an offshoot.” Ning Busi’s gaze instantly hardened with resolution.

“The Art of Dragon Prison Break, go....” Ning Busi shouted loudly, pointing his dragon head walking stick towards Ximen Wuya.

Instantly, hundreds of thousands of fire dragons flew out from the elder’s body and shot towards Ximen Wuya.

“Ten Thousand Swords Attack, go...,” Ximen Wuya shouted, drawing his sharp sword.

Immediately, all the sharp, glowing swords surrounding him shot forth.

“Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang....”

Countless fire dragons and glowing swords collided, resounding like booming thunder. They burst into innumerable lights, appearing as if ten thousand lightning bolts had filled the entire night sky and turned it as bright as day.

The fire dragons continuously flew out from Ning Busi’s body. Soon, there were fewer and fewer of them left around him.

The glowing swords also continuously flew out from Ximen Wuya’s body. Similarly, the number of glowing swords surrounding him grew fewer and fewer.

The fire dragons and glowing swords, apart from their offensive capabilities, could also be used as energy shields to block the enemy’s Xuan technique attack. Therefore, Ning Busi and Ximen Wuya were attacking and defending at the same time. To attack with greater force, one had to sacrifice defensive power.

“Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang....”

The violent explosions and powerful heat boiled the surrounding seawater, smashing several big ships nearby into pieces.

“Gong, Gong!”

The last explosive sound followed lights as bright as an exploding star, which tore through hundreds of miles in the night sky, bathing it completely in bright daylight.

Hundreds of thousands of glowing swords and fire dragon vanished.

Eventually, there was only a single one-meter-long fire dragon left circling Ning Busi.

For Ximen Wuya, there was also only one two-and-a-half-foot long glowing sword circling him.

Both of them made a decisive choice at the same time.

“Go...,” they both shouted at the same time.

The last sword was fired.

The last fire dragon was fired.

They whistled through the air. The two glowing shadows passed by each other.

“Pakk!” The fire dragon slammed into Ximen Wuya’s chest.

“Pakk!” The sharp glowing sword pierced into Ning Busi’s chest.

“Crakkk...” The sound of bones cracking echoed. Ning Busi spurt out a mouthful of blood.

Ximen Wuya was pushed dozens of meters away by his opponent’s strike. Then, a bloody sword was ejected into the air.

“Cloud Sky City has been so quiet these years just to make you such an outstanding person?” Ning Busi asked, holding his chest while coughing out blood. “You alone have taken all the essence that Cloud Sky City has accumulated over a hundred years.”

“But, you are a gentleman after all. If you had used Xuan techniques, even if there were ten Wuyings, they would all be dead. His swordsmanship was only suitable for stealth assassinations. It was not enough to compete with you in open combat.”

“Well, I’ll do what I promised. Since you managed to receive my Xuan technique without dying and even beat me by a little, I will no longer get involved in this matter. I will head back to the Yin Yang Sect and enter seclusion.”

After that, Ning Busi disappeared into the darkness.

Ximen Wuya wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth and asked lightly, “Who’s next?”

Everyone in the hall was silent.

The Yin Yang Sect had long since disdained the fact that the world considered Ximen Wuya a true Guru. It was because they felt that the common people were just shallow. Today, they finally managed to witness Ximen Wuya’s true power, which was beyond that of a true Guru? He was absolutely at the top level in the world. Jiang Songyang and Ning Busi were both also considered true Gurus. However, both of them were defeated by Ximen Wuya.

“Ximen City Lord, please advise me.” A seemingly normal and gentle voice echoed in the dark.

Ximen Wuya’s expression changed. “Zhu Qingzhu, do you finally want to fight?”
