Chapter 361: Looking Down From a High Place

Upon hearing Jiang Yun’s words, even Dao Tianyou couldn’t help but give Gu Bulao a disapproving look.

"Truly a good disciple you’ve taught, with such unruly character just like you!"

Gu Bulao chuckled and said, "You flatter me!"

Fang Yuxuan’s face at this moment was dark and gloomy.

Because he knew better than anyone else that without his or his master’s permission, there were only two ways for anyone to leave the Sword Cave.

However, both methods required a high level of skill in swordsmanship.

He thought of trapping Jiang Yun in the Sword Cave because Jiang Yun didn’t seem to know much about using a sword.

But now that Jiang Yun had left the cave, it meant he had either understood the Sword Intent.

Either defeat at least ten swords in Sword Cave with sword skills!

This made Fang Yuxuan, who always thought of himself as a genius sword cultivator, unable to accept it!

After all, it took him more than two years to comprehend the Sword Intent when he entered Sword Cave, while Jiang Yun only took three months.

"Impossible, it must be the sect master or that old immortal, Gu Bulao, who secretly released him."

Fang Yuxuan suddenly thought of another possibility, which slightly comforted him.

"Yes, it must be like this!"

Just as he was about to respond to Jiang Yun, Huo Yuan standing beside him suddenly took a step forward, raised his head, and pointed at Jiang Yun.

"Jiang Yun, how dare you! In front of all of us, you dare to disrespect Senior Brother Fang."

"You don’t need Senior Brother Fang to personally take care of you. Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Senior Brother Fang!"

After speaking, Huo Yuan suddenly leaped up into the sky.

Jiang Yun calmly said, "This isn’t the first time I’ve been disrespectful! Today, anyone who tries to stop me from killing Fang Yuxuan should not expect me to be polite."

"Huo Yuan, you really need to think twice!"

Naturally, Jiang Yun recognized Huo Yuan too.

If it was someone else trying to stop him, Jiang Yun might have hesitated, but since it was Huo Yuan who had been mocking him since he first arrived at the Seeking-Tao Sect, Jiang Yun had no hesitation at all.

His words filled with strong killing intent made Huo Yuan’s body tremble involuntarily.

In his mind, two fierce lights like wild beasts appeared.

Even though a long time had passed, Huo Yuan still vividly remembered the gaze Jiang Yun, who wasn’t even considered a cultivator back then, had directed at him!

Moreover, despite looking down on Jiang Yun, Huo Yuan had witnessed several major events he had done after joining the Seeking-Tao Sect.

Indeed, Jiang Yun had been disrespectful to Fang Yuxuan more than once.

Ever since they were young, defeating Fang Ruolin led to Fang Yuxuan starting, Jiang Yun challenged Fang Yuxuan as a humble follower.

Even though he almost got killed by Fang Yuxuan, at that time, Jiang Yun from Meridians Unclogged Realm dared to challenge Fang Yuxuan, who was the top inner disciple.

His courage and bravery made everyone admire him secretly.

Later on, not only did Jiang Yun narrowly defeat Zheng Yuan from Blessed Land Realm, but during the Five Peaks Trial, he even defeated Peak Lord Wan Hongbo from Hundreds Beasts Peak.

Huo Yuan remembered each of these events clearly.

Defeating Jiang Yun, surpassing him, and erasing the shadow left by Jiang Yun’s gaze had all become his motivation and goal for training.

This was also one of the reasons why he was able to reach the Blessed Land Realm within two years.

Therefore, facing Jiang Yun’s words at that moment, and those visibly brighter eyes compared to before, Huo Yuan hesitated a bit.

But deep down, he didn’t believe Jiang Yun could kill Fang Yuxuan.

Once inside Mirage, Fang Yuxuan was his only ally, so he needed to stick to his beliefs and earn Fang Yuxuan’s trust.

Besides, he was now in the Blessed Land Realm, the second level even, wasn’t he a match for Jiang Yun now?

Thinking this, Huo Yuan clenched his teeth, then suddenly rose up in front of Jiang Yun and said coldly, "I don’t need to think twice. You disrespect me, broke our rules."

"Icy Sword!"

With a quick change in tone, Huo Yuan swiftly grabbed the white sword named Frost he always carried behind him, stabbing Jiang Yun with an icy chill.

Huo Yuan’s sword, known as Frost, could emanate cold air.

When he braved the Chop-Sky Sword, this sword had earned him good results.

With his increasing skill, the power of Frost naturally grew stronger.

This sword, although not Huo Yuan’s strongest, is very close to it.

With one swing of the sword, the air around froze instantly, and the sword energy turned into ice flowers rushing towards Jiang Yun.

So far, no Elder Peak Lord from the Seeking-Tao Sect has stepped in to stop the contest between Jiang Yun and Huo Yuan.

Everyone watched the contest with serious looks.

Especially Fang Yuxuan, who wanted to see Jiang Yun’s current strength.

Faced with many ice flowers, Jiang Yun didn’t even look, his eyes focused only on Jiang Yun.

Even though Huo Yuan is no longer the same as before, neither is Jiang Yun!

Jiang Yun’s strength had surpassed Huo Yuan by far.

Therefore, Jiang Yun simply said one word, "Shatter!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a single word spoken, the magic happened instantly.

Countless ice flowers attacking him, even the ice sword in Huo Yuan’s hand, all exploded into ice debris, falling to the ground.

Before the ice debris could land, Jiang Yun waved his sleeve and gathered them all together.

In an instant, they transformed into a white ice sword with a sharp tip full of chilling coldness, stabbed into Huo Yuan’s throat with unmatched speed.

However, the ice sword only pierced the surface of Huo Yuan’s throat.

As a drop of crimson blood oozed from Huo Yuan’s throat, staining the sword tip red, the ice sword stopped.

Without even looking at Huo Yuan, Jiang Yun lifted his foot and walked past him with a single step.

With a word and a wave of his sleeve, Jiang Yun easily defeated Huo Yuan and could have killed him effortlessly.

But in the end, Jiang Yun spared his life.

At this moment, Huo Yuan stood frozen in the air, his eyes staring blankly.

He didn’t even know how to remove the ice sword still stuck in his throat, motionless.

In his heart, Jiang Yun’s fierce eyes seemed to grow infinitely larger, completely consuming his mind.

Then suddenly, it exploded like ice shards, floating down lightly and gradually disappearing.

Unbeknownst to anyone, from that moment on, Huo Yuan finally let go of his fear of Jiang Yun’s gaze and freed himself from his inner turmoil.

The reason was simple!

He now fully understood the vast difference between himself and Jiang Yun.

This gap was so huge that he could never overcome or catch up in his lifetime.

Therefore, he no longer needed to remember Jiang Yun’s gaze.

Because from now on, he and Jiang Yun would be people from two different worlds.

Jiang Yun was high above, while he was low below, and they would never intersect again.

After crossing over Huo Yuan, Jiang Yun didn’t fall to the ground, but stood directly on top of Fang Yuxuan’s head, looking down at him.

This scene felt familiar!
