Chapter 37: Bloodletting

"So this so-called Xuan Yuan True Method is so weak. You’re still at the second level of the Qi Refining Stage, and you’re not even afraid to say it out loud, bringing shame to your Xuanyuan Sect!"

Yi Qianmo looked at him with a mocking smile.

Not far away, Yu Changqing got up, his face ashen. His shock was just as great as Xiao Xu’s.

Over the past thirteen years, he had watched Yi Qianmo grow. He never imagined that the once helpless boy who was forced into the Yu family as a furnace would grow to such a terrifying level.

A celestial being!

This boy, once seen by them as an ant, had actually gained the upper hand in the clash with the celestial beings. If Xiao Xu cannot control him today, the Yu family might follow the path of the Lei family and Huang family.

"You are looking for trouble!"

Xiao Xu, hearing the sarcasm, became very angry and drew his sword to attack Yi Qianmo.

His spiritual power flowed into the sword, and the sword energy spread like waves, completely covering Yi Qianmo. This was the Xuanyuan Sect’s powerful sword technique, the Cloud Wave Sword Technique.

The crowd, who had just witnessed a painful scene, felt the power of the sword and quickly stepped back.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The deafening sound of metal clashing echoed as Yi Qianmo fought Xiao Xu. This was a true battle of powerful beings, and the shockwaves from the fight were too much for even the strongest to endure.

"Your Xuan Yuan True Method is quite interesting."

Yi Qianmo said while fighting.

Xiao Xu, who had been at a disadvantage, felt pleased by Yi Qianmo’s compliment, but couldn’t show it. He replied, "It’s good that you know. If you don’t want to die, then just behave yourself…"

However, before he could finish his sentence, Yi Qianmo abruptly interrupted, "The technique is indeed good, but unfortunately, you are too weak."

"You little beast, wait until I see if you can still act tough!!"

Xiao Xu was so angry he almost spat blood; at this moment, he had shown all his strength, while Yi Qianmo also seemed to have reached his limit.

"I doubt you will have that chance!"

Yi Qianmo replied, and suddenly, the power of his sword shifted, "Let me teach you what it means for spiritual power to flow and be released, and how to combine spiritual power with sword techniques!"

After saying that, Yi Qianmo channeled the spiritual power within him, gathering it in the sword, and charged forward with a strike.

"Clang!"

The spiritual power from his body entered the sword, forming a concentrated point right where the two swords collided, while Xiao Xu’s spiritual power was completely scattered across his sword.

This clash made the outcome clear; the spiritual power on Xiao Xu’s sword was directly shattered by the burst of spiritual power from Yi Qianmo’s concentrated point.

"What is happening? Isn’t Xiao Xu a disciple of the Immortal Gate? Why does his use of spiritual power seem worse than Yi Qianmo’s?"

Everyone was stunned, knowing that Xiao Xu was a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect, having received proper training, while Yi Qianmo was just a beginner.

But Xiao Xu not only could not gain the upper hand, he was instead being overwhelmed by Yi Qianmo.

"Your sword technique is quite interesting, but unfortunately, in your hands, it’s just a waste!"

After gaining the upper hand, Yi Qianmo struck down with his sword.

"I will kill you!"

Xiao Xu was furious; he had never suffered such humiliation. How could a beginner dare to arrogantly teach him how to use spiritual power?

But what frustrated him the most was not Yi Qianmo’s contempt, but that his own spiritual power was almost completely exhausted.

In contrast, Yi Qianmo showed no signs of lacking spiritual power; a strong flow of spiritual energy constantly surrounded his sword, as if it would never run out.

Little did he know, Yi Qianmo had broken through the Qi Refining Stage. His dantian and meridians had been refined by sword energy, far surpassing that of an ordinary person.

So, although Xiao Xu was at the second level of the Qi Refining Stage and Yi Qianmo was only at the first level, Yi Qianmo’s spiritual power was far greater than Xiao Xu’s.

Not to mention, Yi Qianmo practiced the Chaotic Sword Body. In terms of skill level, it surpassed Xiao Xu by many times. If Xiao Xu were at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, Yi Qianmo would still respect him a little.

Unfortunately, he was only at the second level of the Qi Refining Stage.

"It’s a pity that you can’t kill me!"

Yi Qianmo had an expression that would make anyone furious, "Come, come, come, let me teach you what swordsmanship is!"

After saying that, Yi Qianmo charged at him, using the very sword technique that Xiao Xu had just demonstrated. Spiritual power surrounded the sword, creating layers of sword energy that were impenetrable.

Compared to what Xiao Xu had shown earlier, Yi Qianmo was much more skilled in its use.

"How do you know the Cloud Wave Sword Technique from my Xuanyuan Sect?!"

At this moment, Xiao Xu’s mindset was close to collapsing.

This sword technique was the first one he practiced after joining the Xuanyuan Sect, and it was also the most exquisite sword technique.

But Yi Qianmo had used it, and his sword skill was even more brilliant than Xiao Xu’s; the overwhelming pressure made him feel as if he were suffocating while competing with his master.

"This isn’t a matter of whether I can do it or not, but… you are too weak!"

Yi Qianmo said.

He certainly did not use the Cloud Wave Sword Technique; he simply borrowed Xiao Xu’s earlier moves with his own sword form and easily performed them.

This also made him realize that his sword form seemed to require only observing the sword moves to effortlessly master the opponent’s technique.

Xiao Xu glared at Yi Qianmo, having nothing more to say; he was already struggling to cope with Yi Qianmo’s attacks and had no time to argue with him.

Furthermore, everything Yi Qianmo said from the beginning was not bragging; it was all the truth. Whether it was the speed of his spiritual power’s operation, the use of spiritual power, or this sword technique in front of him, he was stronger than Xiao Xu.

If Xiao Xu did not know Yi Qianmo’s background, he would doubt that the Yi Qianmo before him was a remarkable genius who had trained in the sect for many years!

But he knew that Yi Qianmo was not, and it was precisely because he was not that made Xiao Xu feel scared. Without the accumulation of time, the only explanation could be talent!

How terrifying must the talent be for someone who had not gone through proper training and had no guidance from a master to surpass him, even while being at a lower level?

"Who is the real rogue practitioner, and who is the true disciple of the immortal sect?"

The onlookers could not help but feel a kind of confusion. Although they did not understand the meaning of the words between the two, they could determine the strength difference from the situation of their battle.

A proper disciple of the immortal sect was actually being pressured and beaten by a rogue practitioner, even while being at a lower level. It was no wonder they had this confusion.

"It’s over!"

Yi Qianmo suddenly said.

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Xu felt something was wrong. After fighting for so long, he went from scorn at the beginning to concern later. Now, his heart was filled only with fear!

"You hurt my grandfather and Second Uncle, didn’t you?"

Yi Qianmo suddenly stopped smiling.

In his gaze, Xiao Xu felt a chill and replied, "What if I did?"

"Very well!"

Yi Qianmo’s expression became serious, and his spiritual power surged as he swung his sword towards Xiao Xu.

"Clang, clang, clang."

The sound of metal striking metal echoed, and Xiao Xu felt that Yi Qianmo’s sword momentum and speed were now more than double what they had been before.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…"

At first, he could still hold his ground, but as the battle went on, more and more weaknesses appeared in him. Yi Qianmo’s sword, like a poisonous snake, bit fiercely at those weaknesses.

After dozens of rounds, the originally graceful Xiao Xu had now turned into a blood-soaked figure.

Seeing this scene, the guards of the Yi family thought of Yi Qianmo’s previous battle with Lei Yuntian. Half a month ago, right here, Lei Yuntian had also looked just like this.

"How dare you hurt me!!!"

Xiao Xu trembled all over; even though he had sealed several important points on his body, he still felt that his blood would not stop. "I am a disciple of Xuanyuan Sect; how dare you hurt me!"
