While Chu Mu was dominating the arena, the three courtyards were in a storm.
"The swordsmanship of the inner disciple of Qingfeng Sword Sect is only so-so. I'm really disappointed." Elder Yao Ri shook his head, disappointment was written all over his old face.
This was the grassland outside the stele of the Soaring Wind Courtyard. Many people were gathered there, including the disciples of the Thunder Courtyard, the Blue Water Courtyard, and the Soaring Wind Courtyard. In addition, an elder of the Soaring Wind Courtyard was among them.
Hearing Elder Yao Ri's words, the disciples of the three courtyards and Elder Lin of Lingfeng Courtyard revealed an angry expression.
"Elder is right. We have already swept through Jadewater Courtyard and Thunder Courtyard. Now, we will sweep through Lingfeng Courtyard." Su Qilai echoed with a smile, "I believe that under Elder's leadership, Senior Brother Hualong will be able to sweep through all the disciples of Lingfeng Courtyard and point his sword at Qingfeng Main Palace."
Su Hualong stood in the open space with the Hundred Refined Sword in his hand. His face was indifferent but there was a trace of arrogance in his eyes. His eyes were filled with disdain when he glanced at the disciples of the three courtyards of Qingfeng Sword Sect.
After a month, Su Hualong, who lost under Chu Mu's sword, not only broke through to the seventh stage of the Sword Qi Realm, under Elder Glorious Sun's wholehearted nurturing, he took a huge step forward and reached the eighth stage of the Sword Qi Realm. Moreover, under Elder Yao Ri's guidance and his own talent, his swordsmanship attainment had improved significantly.
After losing his beloved disciple, Elder Yao Ri took Su Hualong's talent in swordsmanship as his last disciple and nurtured him wholeheartedly. Out of a sense of superiority, Elder Yao Ri brought Su Hualong to Qingshui Sword Sect. After sweeping through all the Level 7 and Level 8 inner disciples of Qingshui Sword Sect, he came to Qingfeng Sword Sect and swept through almost all the Level 7 and Level 8 inner disciples of Jadewater Courtyard and Thunder Courtyard. He was about to sweep through Lingfeng Courtyard.
"Damn it! If Senior Brother He Kaiming was still in our Thunder Sound Academy, he would definitely not allow Su Hualong to be so arrogant. He would definitely be able to defeat Su Hualong." An inner disciple of Thunder Sound Academy clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"That's right. Unfortunately, Brother He Kaiming broke through to Ninth Stage half a month ago and has become an elite disciple of the main hall. Otherwise, this Qinglan disciple wouldn't have the chance to be arrogant here."
"Who else … has the guts to fight me?" Su Hualong's eyes, which were as sharp as swords, carried a hint of arrogance as he slowly swept his gaze across the faces of the inner disciples of the three academies. His gaze was so sharp that the disciples of the three academies did not dare to look him in the eye.
"Haha! Senior Brother Hualong, the disciples of the three academies of Qingfeng Sword Sect are all trash. They don't even have the guts to look you in the eye, let alone fight you. Such disciples wouldn't even be qualified to sweep the floor in our sect." Su Qilai laughed and continued to attack the disciples of the three academies of Qingfeng Sword Sect with his words. Elder Yao Ri's face was indifferent as he stood aside and smiled without saying a word.
The disciples of the three academies were once again enraged. One by one, they looked at Su Qilai. Their eyes were as sharp as swords, full of anger, as if they were going to shoot Su Qilai to death. Su Qilai was shocked and subconsciously took a step back.
Immediately, aware of his own actions, Su Qilai's face flushed red and he became angry. He shouted, "What are you looking at? I'm talking to you. If you have the ability, draw your sword and fight with Senior Brother Hualong. If you don't have the ability, then get lost and obediently be trash."
"Elder Yao Ri, the words of this disciple of your sect are too extreme." Elder Lin's face was dark as he said in a low voice.
"It's inevitable for a young man to be impulsive." Elder Yao Ri was secretly happy, but on the surface, he was very indifferent. "Moreover, it's just a few words. It's not a big deal. Moreover, what he said is mostly the truth. This kind of disciple will not use flowery words to deceive others. He is more worthy of encouragement. The conduct of a disciple is related to the reputation of the Sword Faction. What do you think, Elder Lin? "
Elder Yao Ri's words twisted the truth and made Elder Lin tremble in anger. The disciples of the three academies were even more furious.
Li Yang was among the crowd. However, he was just an ordinary member now. After seeing Su Hualong's sword technique, he knew that the gap between him and Su Hualong was getting bigger and bigger.
"Let me." A Middle Stage Eighth Stage disciple of the Soaring Wind Courtyard pulled out his sword and strode forward. He pointed his sword at Su Hualong and said, "Take my sword."
"Not to mention one sword, I'll take ten or a hundred swords. I'm just afraid that you don't have the ability." Su Hualong said proudly. Looking at the sharp sword that was thrusting towards him, a trace of contempt flashed across his eyes. He moved his head and dodged the sword.
Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh. The Middle Stage Eighth Stage disciple of the Soaring Wind Courtyard attacked faster than the previous. It was the basic move of the Soaring Wind Sword Technique.
However, Su Hualong was able to dodge easily, causing the disciple's sword to hit empty air.
"Is this the sword technique of the inner disciples of the Soaring Wind Courtyard? It's really disappointing. "Su Hualong dodged the sword once again and said faintly," Take my sword too. "
After saying that, he attacked with his sword. A bright Sword Light flashed across the sky like a rainbow. With a clang, the opponent's sword was pushed away and the sword was thrust forward, stopping at the disciple's throat.
Ever since he was defeated by Chu Mu's sword, Su Hualong subconsciously liked to do this.
"I've said that I'll sweep through the three inner courtyards of the Qingfeng Sword Sect. I, Su Hualong, am a man of my words." Su Hualong sheathed his sword and said proudly. The expression of the inner disciple of the Soaring Wind Courtyard changed from green to red to white.
"Don't be complacent. When Senior Brother Chu returns, you'll know what failure is." The disciple snorted coldly.
"That's right. When Senior Brother Chu returns, you'll know that your sword technique is nothing." Immediately, another disciple of the three courtyards echoed.
"That's right. He's not a match for Senior Brother Chu. Even Senior Brother He couldn't defeat Senior Brother Chu."
"Where did Senior Brother Chu go? Who knows? Hurry up and find Senior Brother Chu. "
"I heard that Senior Brother Chu went to the Sword Battle Arena. Hurry up and find him."
Su Hualong's eyes flashed with a trace of gloominess. The words' Senior Brother Chu 'gave him a very uncomfortable feeling. More than a month ago, when he swept through the outer courtyard of the Qingfeng Sword Sect, he was disrupted by a person with the surname Chu. Moreover, Chu Mu defeated him with a single sword.
Su Hualong would wake up from his dreams almost every day because Chu Mu's sword had left a shadow in his heart.
This time, other than sweeping through the three courtyards, his other purpose in coming to the Qingfeng Sword Sect was to wipe away his shame and defeat Chu Mu.
"My current cultivation is at the early stage of the eighth stage of the Sword Qi Realm. My sword technique has obviously improved a lot compared to a month ago. I can even fight against someone at the late stage of the eighth stage of the Sword Qi Realm." Su Hualong said to himself, "As for Chu Mu, his cultivation was not even at the peak of the sixth stage a month ago. After more than a month, he's at most at the seventh stage. The gap between the seventh and eighth stage is huge. He's not a match for me. "
Hearing the words of the crowd, Elder Lin's eyes lit up. He had a deep impression of Chu Mu.
"Elder Yao Ri, since you've brought your newly recruited disciple to challenge our Qingfeng Sword Sect and declared that you're going to sweep through the three courtyards of our sect, do you dare to make a bet with me?" Elder Lin thought for a moment and said in an arrogant tone, "If you don't dare, take your disciple and scram now. From now on, don't step into our Qingfeng Sword Sect."
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Elder Yao Ri couldn't stand being provoked. He glared at Elder Lin and a scorching heat spread out from his body like the sun.
"Alright." Elder Lin laughed, "Your disciple's swordsmanship is indeed good. I admit that none of the disciples here are a match for him. However, there's a disciple in our courtyard who can defeat your disciple. Do you believe it? "
"Oh, hahahaha. There's a disciple in the Soaring Wind Courtyard who can defeat my disciple. Call him out and let me broaden my horizons." Elder Yao Ri naturally didn't believe it and there was a hint of contempt in his tone.
Su Hualong felt increasingly uncomfortable while Su Qilai fell into deep thought.
"Very well. Since Elder Yao Ri is so confident, let's wait for a while." Elder Lin laughed and pointed at the two disciples beside him, "You two, go to the battle arena and bring Chu Mu here."
"Yes, Elder." The two disciples were unusually excited. They channeled their sword qi into their feet and executed their movement skills. They quickly ran towards the battle arena, leaving behind a trail of dust.
"Elder." Su Qilai suddenly called out in a low voice. Only he and Elder Yao Ri could hear it.
"What's the matter?" Elder Yao Ri frowned slightly and looked at Su Qilai.
"Elder, it's like this." Su Qilai said, "More than a month ago, when Senior Hualong was still an outer disciple, he challenged Qingshui Sword Sect's outer disciple and Qingfeng Sword Sect's outer disciple. It was about to end but in the end, an outer disciple named Chu Mu appeared and defeated Senior Hualong with a single stroke. Therefore, Senior Hualong followed you to challenge the three courtyards of Qingfeng Sword Sect with the intention of looking for Chu Mu to avenge his humiliation. "
"Hualong was defeated by a single stroke more than a month ago?" Elder Yao Ri found it unbelievable. Soon after, he nodded confidently, "That was more than a month ago. In the past month, under my guidance and Hualong's extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, his attainment in swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds. It's good that Chu Mu doesn't come. Once he comes, he will be defeated by Hualong's swordsmanship and will never be able to turn the tables. "
"Elder is right." Su Qilai's doubts completely disappeared.
"Elder Yao Ri, since we want to bet, there must be a wager." Elder Lin continued to smile as if victory was already in his hands, "I bet that Chu Mu will defeat Su Hualong. If you lose, not only will you have to take back your words, you will also have to apologize to us with a sword salute."
It was extremely difficult for an unreasonable person like Elder Yao Ri to apologize with a sword salute. Especially when the target of the apology was not only Elder Lin, but also the other disciples. It was even more impossible.
"Alright, I bet that Su Hualong will defeat Chu Mu. If you lose, you will admit that the three courtyards of Qingfeng Sword Sect are all trash." Elder Yao Ri was very confident in himself and Su Hualong.
"Alright." Elder Lin was even more confident in Chu Mu. The wager was established. The disciples were extremely excited and looked forward to it.
