Chapter 122: Save Me
Upon hearing this, Ji Yang fell into deep thought.
This Senior Brother Gong clearly planned to take him in for punishment.
This aligned perfectly with Ji Yang’s intentions.
Since he would be going in regardless of the fight, should he even bother to fight?
Should he comply with Senior Brother Gong’s wishes to get taken in, or should he act first?
Noticing Ji Yang’s hesitation, a sneer appeared on Gong Ke’s face as he felt pleased:
“Kid, you brought this upon yourself! It’s too late to back out now!”
In an instant, Ji Yang made his decision.
He understood Gong Ke’s intentions, but this battle had to happen.
He needed to solidify his image as a righteous person within the inner sect,
Besides, since he had already drawn his sword, how could he put it back?
In the next moment, Ji Yang’s gaze sharpened as sword energy emanated from him.
Sensing the momentum that Ji Yang revealed, Gong Ke’s expression tightened, and he shouted:
“Dare to openly defy the sect’s law enforcement? Capture him!”
Gong Ke waved his hand at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment disciple beside him. In the inner sect law enforcement hall, any disciple was at least at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, but they could only act as ordinary law enforcement hall disciples and couldn’t lead.
However, dealing with an Initial Stage Foundation Establishment disciple should be more than enough.
The law enforcement hall disciple next to him received the order and walked towards Ji Yang.
Seeing Gong Ke not making a move, Ji Yang suppressed the restless sword intent within him. Against a disciple of the same realm, Thousands of Sword Energies were more than enough!
In a bid to be punished sooner, as the law enforcement hall disciple flew toward him, Ji Yang chose to act first.
He gathered the True Essence within his body, and the next moment, it flowed into his sword. Along with the Thousands of Sword Energies, a massive sword energy sliced toward the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment disciple!
This strike used the full strength of an Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivator, without holding back.
After all, this person was at least a Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and Ji Yang had to put on a show.
Similarly, this was the maximum power that could be exhibited using Thousands of Sword Energies at his current level. Though it could not rival the attacks of Golden Core Stage cultivators, it shouldn’t pose too much of a problem for the person before him.
Where the sword energy passed, the air screamed as disciples scattered around, their eyes wide with astonishment.
“We cannot withstand this attack!”
“Who is this junior brother?”
Once a master strikes, the difference is clear.
The power displayed by this attack showed that this Initial Stage disciple was far from an ordinary individual.
Some disciples began to search for Ji Yang’s information, eager to discover his identity based on his moves and appearance.
At this moment, the law enforcement hall disciple facing the incoming sword energy also wore a serious expression, but as a law enforcement hall disciple at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, he did not believe that a mere sword energy could defeat him.
After all, he had advanced from the outer sect step by step to get here. While he might not be a prodigy, he could at least consider himself a genius!
This disciple reacted quickly, ready to take out a defensive magic item!
He aimed to dodge the attack’s edge!
But at that moment, he heard a sound of celestial music, and as the sword energy approached, a colorful brilliance appeared in the sky! It was as if a celestial being was showing the way!
The disciple was momentarily stunned, thinking something was wrong, and then he bit down on his tongue, bringing everything back to normal.
He heard no celestial music, and there was no colorful brilliance ahead.
Only a massive sword energy was now right in front of him!
It was this moment of distraction that made an effective defense impossible.
In a life-and-death crisis, the disciple quickly flew backward, trying to evade the sword energy attack.
But the sword energy was already too close, and there was nowhere to retreat!
“Ah! Senior Brother Gong, save me!”
Upon saying this, the disciple closed his eyes!
“Hmph!”
As the cold sound arrived, the disciple opened his eyes again, and the massive sword energy had vanished, leaving only Gong Ke standing in front of him.
Seeing his life was no longer in danger, the disciple’s pale face regained some color.
But looking at the various expressions on the other disciples’ faces and Gong Ke’s frown before him, he could only hang his head and retreat to the side, too afraid to speak again.
Staring at Gong Ke, Ji Yang focused his mind.
As a Mid Golden Core cultivator, Gong Ke was indeed formidable, easily blocking Ji Yang’s Thousands of Sword Energies. Although Ji Yang hadn’t used his full strength, it was clear that an Initial Stage cultivator, even at full power, could not compete against a much higher realm cultivator.
If he was like this, how could others fare?
However, Ji Yang was undaunted; he still had his sword nurturing technique!
“You are quite remarkable! Which peak disciple are you?”
Gong Ke, who blocked Ji Yang’s sword energy, looked surprised and no longer held his previous disdain.
Although he did not recognize the Thousands of Sword Energies, blocking that attack had not been very easy for him.
Ji Yang did not answer but continued,
“Senior Brother, be careful! I have nurtured this sword for a month, so please receive it!”
Ji Yang summoned one of the swords he had gathered in his energy points and infused it into his hand’s Superior flying sword!
With the enhancement of sword intent, the Superior flying sword emitted a light blue glow, appearing quite extraordinary.
“Youngster, you are arrogant!”
Gong Ke sneered coldly, his aura revealing itself.
As a Mid Golden Core cultivator, his status and cultivation level surpassed Ji Yang’s by far.
At this moment, Ji Yang actually dared to attempt to slice him with a sword nurtured for a month and even asked him to be cautious!
Wasn’t that arrogant?
Ji Yang said no more; he had nurtured four swords in total!
One of the flying swords had been nurtured for over three months, the initial one he had never used, and now he wouldn’t use it.
The other two flying swords had been nurtured for over a month and their power was not to be underestimated!
They were even greater than the sword that had struck Elder Li that day. Besides, he was now at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment, and his nurturing time was even longer.
As for the last sword, it was still under a month’s nurturing and its power probably did not match the others!
Although the Gong Ke before him did not have a cultivation level as high as Elder Li’s, he presented a significant threat to Ji Yang and should not be underestimated.
For this strike, Ji Yang selected the middle sword, attempting to defeat this Senior Brother Gong.
As the sword intent was fully infused into the hand-held Superior flying sword, the sword made of Xuan Iron Mine trembled, clearly unable to sustain this sword intent nurtured for over a month!
Once this sword was drawn, regardless of the outcome, the hand-held Superior flying sword would surely be rendered unusable.
But Ji Yang did not care; he had many swords!
Thinking about the impending punishment, Ji Yang’s excited emotions could not be calmed.
Feeling the sword energy in Ji Yang’s hand, Gong Ke’s expression grew serious. Although he still looked defiant, he felt an immense threat arising!
At this moment, cries of surprise came from the other disciples:
“I understand now, it’s that one with Talent Jealousy!”
“Jingtan Peak! Ji Yang!”
The uproar among the crowd tightened Gong Ke’s heart, causing his breath to fluctuate slightly.
Ji Yang no longer hesitated; as his flying sword lightly swept through the air, the sword body instantly turned to ashes, and a powerful sword energy slashed toward Gong Ke, the law enforcement hall cultivator at Mid Golden Core!
At a glance, this sword seemed ordinary, even lacking compared to the earlier massive Thousands of Sword Energies.
But upon closer inspection, one could feel its immense power!
