Chereads / The First Ancient Immortal / Chapter 21 - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 - Chapter 21

Cai Maomao, frightened, raised his hands and quickly retreated, shouting loudly, "I surrender! I forfeit the fight!"

Shouting these words meant Jiang Yue would receive his sword points and could commence her massacre.

Cai Maomao felt a wave of relief as he prepared to retreat.

At that moment!

Jiang Yue's eyes turned cold.

"The dog of the Sword Pavilion must die!"

Ding!

The icy Sword Soul of the Divine Sea Realm shot forth, targeting his throat.

"You dare to violate..."

Cai Maomao's complexion changed drastically, his breath turning his face purple.

He had surrendered!

The other party could not strike first!

But how could he endure this indignity?

Jiang Yue's Sword Soul aimed at his throat.

This was a fatal blow!

In his fright, Cai Maomao summoned all his strength to evade!

Swoosh!

The Ice Moon Sword Soul slashed through his shoulder.

Blood sprayed everywhere!

Cai Maomao cried out pitifully as he rolled off the fencing stage.

His right arm was nearly severed, blood flowing uncontrollably, and the chilling power froze upward, rendering his entire arm almost useless!

In Cai Maomao's eyes burned a fierce anger as he glared at Jiang Yue. "I forfeited the match; you shouldn't have started!"

"The rules say you can't kill people, but they don't say you can't kill a dog," Jiang Yue sneered, flying off the fencing stage toward him!

Cai Maomao looked around.

Several elders responsible for maintaining order crossed their arms, their gazes indifferent.

"You!"

Cai Maomao's expression turned ashen!

He was going to die!

"Elder Brother..."

He despaired.

He wanted to live to return home to his elder brother!

"Elder Brother!"

Tears streamed down Cai Maomao's face.

At this moment!

On the No. 3 fencing stage!

"Your Senior Brother Cai is facing Jiang Yue; he must be killed!" Lanxing suddenly whispered in his ear.

In that instant, Yun Xiao's eyes turned red!

He sat quietly in his position.

After coming to Blue Soul, Senior Brother Cai's enthusiasm and straightforwardness had warmed his icy heart.

Friends!

How many friends can one have in life?

Yun Xiao's eyes burst with a thick murderous intent!

"Yun Xiao, this time, I 'Wu Jianyang' will absolutely step on you beneath my feet!"

The son of the third sword revered stood opposite Yun Xiao.

After returning, he used a lot of elixirs for therapy; the third sword revered didn't hesitate to spend a large sum of money, helping him patch up his Sword Soul to stand before Yun Xiao again, erasing the disgrace!

He and his companions stood there at that moment!

"You'll die, haha..."

Wu Jianyang grinned maliciously, but suddenly, a blue light flashed.

Bang!

His head exploded directly, turning into a mist of blood.

Bang!

His corpse dropped straight down, blood splattering in all directions.

Buzz!

"Jiang Yue—!"

Thunderous rage surged in Yun Xiao's eyes!

His governing sword leaped, soaring across to Dingshan in a rush!

**Governing Sword Technique! Xiaoyao You!**

A white shadow with an azure glow swirled like a sea monster, flying across the fencing stages.

Everywhere it passed, strong winds surged!

"What is that?"

"Who is it?"

Many people shouted in alarm.

Some wondered who was governing the sword at low altitude in Dingshan?

**Zheng!**

The grating sound of the sword howled, piercing everyone's ears like steel needles, causing many to furrow their brows.

Azure light flashed!

The sword technique, *Xiaoyao You*, surged forward like a sawshark entering the sea, breaking through the monstrous waves!

**Dingshan, west side.**

Cai Maomao, in fright, turned to run, crying out in terror, "Murder! Murder!"

His shoulder throbbed with pain as blood flowed uncontrollably!

"Who can save me..."

Cai Maomao felt a chill run down his spine.

Death was closing in behind him, and his legs turned to jelly.

**Clang!!**

As he fled, he suddenly heard the sound of a fierce clash behind him.

It was like two iron poles colliding!

That boundless wave of supernatural force slammed into Cai Maomao's back, knocking him off his feet and rolling him several times on the ground.

"I'm not dead!"

Despite being battered and bruised, he realized someone had saved him.

A moment ago, that was the sound of a Sword Soul colliding!

In other words, a sword had come to his rescue, binding Jiang Yue's *Ultra Kaiyang* Sword Soul behind him!

"Who..."

Cai Maomao felt a thin crack of hope!

He turned his head and saw only a white figure pounding the ground, standing protectively in front of him!

**Buzz!**

The azure Sword Soul lowered from the space and fell into the palm of that person!

That Sword Soul spun like a deadly storm, emitting a grating sword cry, as if it were not a sword but an ancient, ominous beast that devoured death itself!

"Junior Brother Yun! I love you!"

Cai Maomao cried out with a trembling voice.

Did he just save him by crossing Dingshan?

This was the heroic rescue scene!

"Junior Brother Yun, if I were a girl, I would devote myself to you tonight!" Cai Maomao sobbed.

"Don't repay good with evil!" Yun Xiao turned his head and glared at him, adding, "You should hurry and get healed!"

Cai Maomao's arm was crushed by Jiang Yue!

If he didn't make the most of this time, he would surely break his arm.

"Don't fight with her; she's someone you can't afford to annoy in the Blue Soul..."

Cai Maomao looked at his Junior Brother Yun and realized it was bad.

That night, Yun Xiao had killed Wang Feng and Yao Qingqian; he had that same look!

"Can't annoy? I'll annoy you all I want!"

Yun Xiao suddenly turned his head.

Opposite him stood a young girl in a cloud-patterned sword robe, staring at him with an ice-cold gaze, as frigid as frost!

She stood on the fencing stage, looking down disdainfully, aloof and detached, as if floating among the clouds, examining every insect with the demeanor of an immortal.

"Yun Xiao, three days ago I told you that the shame I suffered that day, I will repay tenfold!"

With a glacier-like demeanor, Jiang Yue extended a finger to point at Yun Xiao and continued, "Even if you hadn't shown up, I would have sought you out after I finished with him!"

She must erase that disgrace!

She must cleanse this stain!

She was the celestial female of the skies!

At this moment, this young man—other than the shocking reputation he had garnered, which had drawn public attention—had nothing in terms of name, disposition, or achievements to match her, which filled her with loathing.

After finishing her speech, she snapped!

The young man in white stood directly on the fencing stage!

Jiang Yue looked at him, sneering as she shook her head.

"Yun Xiao, do you really think that because you hold the status of a disciple under a palm teacher, you have the qualifications to be my opponent? Do you fantasize that you can fight your way to immortality against me?"

"Awaken? You defeating me once has exhausted all your luck for a lifetime!"

"I told you, life and death do not matter on the fencing stage. Even if you are a disciple under the palm teacher, my Ice Moon Sword Soul will not recognize you!"

Jiang Yue was extremely angry!Furious!

At this moment, the indifferent look on this young man reminded her of the shadow she had created for herself three days ago!

In these three days, she had consumed the Divine Sea pill, breaking through five barriers to reach the Divine Sea Realm, finally forging an indestructible self-confidence!

Their confrontation had drawn the attention of many.

On the stage!

The seventh Jianfeng sword master, Zhang Jian, was conversing quietly with Elder Yu Xuanzhou.

"Is this Yun Xiao?" Zhang Jian stared at Yu Xuanzhou.

"Yes!" Yu Xuanzhou nodded shamefacedly.

"Did you see Jiang Yue's 'potential'?" Zhang Jian said through clenched teeth.

"I saw! The favored ones of the gods rise, and even the gods cannot block them!" Yu Xuanzhou spoke with a pained expression.

"What were you looking at back then, letting Yun Xiao escape?" Zhang Jian said angrily.

"How would I know she would become this formidable! But you can rest assured that I apologized to Yao Qingqian, and I firmly distanced myself from Yun Xiao at that time!" Yu Xuanzhou replied.

"Next time, keep your eyes open!"

"Of course..." Yu Xuanzhou said with a pained expression.

On the fencing stage!

Zheng!

Jiang Yue's Ice Moon Sword Soul transformed into a three chi blue ice long sword, which she grasped in her hand!

"Yun Xiao, are you afraid? Dare you not say a few words?"

"You heard that I achieved the Divine Sea Realm, and my Sword Soul condensed into seven Sword Gangs, so you are afraid and regretful, right?"

"I'm giving you an opportunity. If you kneel down and kowtow to me, declaring in front of everyone that you are just a dog under the palm teacher, I will forgive you!"

As Jiang Yue saw people from the first Jianfeng nearby, as well as the elders on stage, all eyes were drawn to her. She couldn't help but feel exhilarated, her words dripping with malice.

Last night, she learned of the grudges and grievances between the first Jianfeng and the Sword Pavilion.

She smiled wickedly!

Thus, making this solemn disciple of the palm teacher kneel before her would earn her admiration from all disciples of the first Jianfeng.

"How will this palm teacher's disciple respond?"

"Let's look at his face; it must be one of incontinence! Haha..."

Disciples from the first, third, and sixth Jianfeng gathered around, laughing boisterously.

"Yun Xiao!"

Jiang Yue raised the seven Sword Gang Ice Moon Sword Soul, aimed at Yun Xiao.

Her Sword Soul carried a chilling mist that sent thermal shockwaves across the fencing stage.

Whistling!

The cold frost froze Yun Xiao's long hair and white robe.

"Kneel! Or die!"

In her mind, she held the absolute advantage.Was this young man scared?

Did he truly regret it?

Jiang Yue waited for him to drop his Sword Soul and kowtow to her! The sensation of being surrounded by thousands of spectators was too crisp... A teasing smile emerged on her frosty face. However—

The young man in white slightly curled the corners of his mouth and suddenly smiled.

This smile made Jiang Yue's heart thump!

Whiz!!

Without a word, Yun Xiao charged at Jiang Yue!!

"What?!"

Jiang Yue was first taken aback, then flew into a rage.

After mocking him so many times, how could he disdain her with such a look?

Why?

"The qualifications that Yun Xiao has,I do not acknowledge!"

At this moment, she felt her scalp tingle; suddenly, this young man seemed to merge with the imposing figure of the previous monarch, Yun Xiao.It felt as if he was about to shatter her innermost feelings directly.

"You damn!"

She knew that a person who stubbornly refuses to give in might come back to life, but this moment of overlap made her mood descend into mania; she was furious and a little... frightened!

"No! I am the Divine Sea Realm! I am a top-level Blue Soul disciple!"

She gritted her teeth, ice-cold fury gushing from her eyes as she gripped the Ice Moon Sword Soul and charged at Yun Xiao.

Bang!

Her supernatural power was as vast as the sea, even equivalent to Yao Qingqian's!

This move, the palm sword technique 'Glacier Swordsmanship,' unleashed sword light like a mighty current of cold ice, enveloping Yun Xiao!

In Yun Xiao's hand, a sword suddenly pierced the air!

"Nine Sword Gang?"

When Jiang Yue saw this clearly, her pupils slightly constricted, and she sighed at how the Sword Pavilion had secretly invested in building the low-grade Yaoguang Sword Soul at the cost of their lives.

Was Jiang Yue very strong?

Yes!

Truly impressive!

However, in Yun Xiao's eyes, despite her strong supernatural power and Sword Soul, she was still useless!

At the center of the fencing stage, the young man in white suddenly accelerated!

He wielded the sword technique! **Azure Electricity Flying Crane!**

Jiang Yue's Glacier Swordsmanship had been cultivated for three months.

Yet, Yun Xiao's Azure Electricity Flying Crane was cultivated in just half an hour!

However!

When his sword was unleashed, the Heaven-Burying Sword Soul suddenly erupted with azure electricity. The nine Sword Gangs howled, the electric current and Sword Gang coalescing into the Sky Sword Crane!

This sword, a bolt of lightning, struck faster than a slicing space!

The Glacier Swordsmanship was low-grade Yaoguang!

The Azure Electricity Flying Crane was Kaiyang!

The difference between them was like the distance of ten thousand miles (0.5 km)!

When Yun Xiao's sword struck out, the wild azure electric current enveloped Jiang Yue's glacier like a thunderous lion pouncing on a rabbit!

"!!"

Jiang Yue's hand trembled as her Glacier Swordsmanship shattered in an instant.

Her heart shook, and her eyes widened in shock!

In that moment, Yun Xiao appeared to her as if he was the world itself, the azure electric current and sword light representing life and death; this was an invincible might that shattered her pride in a flash!

This was the pride she had established with great effort after breaking through to the Divine Sea Realm, overcoming five levels!

In an instant, it cracked!

Just like the last time!

She was paralyzed with fear, unable to connect her sword!

She knew that if she met his sword, she could die!

Bang!

Her complexion turned pale as she cried out, a solemn peerless person of extraordinary ability, panic-stricken. She retreated, tumbling under the weight of that sword's potential, her eyes filling with tears!

When!!

The azure Sword Soul grazed past the Ice Moon Sword Soul for the second time!

Sparks flew everywhere!

The azure glow entwined with the Ice Moon Sword Soul continuously, causing this Sword Soul to wail and tremble!

The Sword Gang flew from Jiang Yue's neck, tearing through ten cuts, and blood erupted like a hurricane.

"No!"

Before she could catch her breath, she let out a heart-wrenching cry.

At that moment, a fist loomed larger!

As she screamed in shock, it smashed directly into her face.

Bang-!

Blood sprayed across Jiang Yue's face, and her body flew back like a kite with a cut string.

She crashed to the ground, her face drenched in blood!

Even the bridge of her nose was shattered, several teeth cracked and fell out!

The heart of everyone watching sank at the scene.She was a beautiful woman!

A peerless person of extraordinary ability who would soon soar!Yet, she was caught off guard.

Her head buzzed.

Here she stood, poised to be an immortal, and she was frightened by a sword, now reduced to a disfigured face from a fist!

Everyone witnessed it firsthand!

The surrounding disciples from the first, third, and sixth Jianfeng all thought clearly.

If seeing the path to ascension was only a minor disgrace,then this was a lifetime of shame!

Even if she flew up to become an immortal in the future, the memory of that fist hitting her elegant face would haunt her... a black mark that would make even dogs shake their heads in disbelief.

"Yun Xiao!"

Jiang Yue cried out, crawling in despair, "How could you hit someone in the face?"

"Fine, I won't touch your face," Yun Xiao retorted, and his fist rumbled again into her abdomen.

"Ah!"

Jiang Yue curled up like a boiled shrimp, spitting foam as her complexion turned blue and purple.

Bang!

She fell, reaching out to point at Yun Xiao, her eyes finally filled with boundless fear.

That young man in white regarded her with a look of utter disdain!

"You put on such a good act, will you fight?" Yun Xiao sneered.

Jiang Yue was nearly driven mad by this.

Yes!

She wouldn't fight.

Yet, she was a peerless person of extraordinary ability.

"Wait for me! In one month, I…"

Yun Xiao stepped in her mouth, cutting off her words.

"A month? Your grave mound will be overgrown with grass by then!"

He looked at her coldly, wielding his Sword Soul, and struck down on Jiang Yue's legs, cutting through with his sword.

Deep and distinct bone!

"Ah!"

The pain was unbearable for Jiang Yue; cold sweat broke out all over her body, and her delicate frame trembled.

Yun Xiao lifted her front piece, dragged her up, and suddenly slammed her down, forcing her to kneel before him.

"You like making people kneel? Fine! You kneel here! Move a muscle, and I'll cut your sword!"

Jiang Yue fell into complete despair.

"There's no one to save me!!" She cried in a wailing voice.

But before she could finish, her voice suddenly stopped because that azure Sword Soul had pressed against her tongue.

The tip of her tongue stabbed with pain!

Jiang Yue tasted the flavor of blood.

Her cold sweat flowed down; her whole body trembled in fear.

"He will really kill me..."

At this moment, all-consuming fear finally engulfed her.

Her insides twisted in knots!

She fell silent, probably like the meat on a cutting board, not daring to breathe as she knelt honestly in front of Yun Xiao.

But the atmosphere was deathly still!

It wasn't that no one wanted to rescue Jiang Yue.

But Yun Xiao had firmly grasped her life from the very beginning!

A peerless person of extraordinary ability!

If this boy acted impulsively and extinguished her life with a sword, then Yun Xiao and the entire Sword Pavilion would face annihilation.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

In this dead silence, Yun Xiao suddenly turned his head and looked at the crowd of first, third, and sixth disciples from Jianfeng!

"To save her? Here's your chance! Come!"

Yun Xiao said, sneering.

What better way to accumulate sword points quickly than by pressuring Jiang Yue and forcing her Senior Brothers and Sisters to save her!

"Hurry up! I have over 40 sword points, ranking first temporarily! Does no one want to seize the chance to discuss the sword first?"

This declaration infuriated the group of disciples.

"Rampant!"

"Really reckless!"

"I'm up first!"

A disciple from the first Jianfeng rushed onto the fencing stage, boasting three sword points, proving he was at the Fixed Dragon Spring Realm.

"Yun Xiao, I am-"

Pū!

Before the disciple could finish his sentence, a sword hole appeared in his forehead, blood splattering everywhere!

Bang!

He fell to the ground, his legs buckling as he died.

Yun Xiao reached out, pinching the Heaven-Burying Sword Soul in his hands, ominous light flashing.

He swept his eyebrow and coldly said with a smile, "First! Who's next?"

"I!"

From the crowd, another person shouted, but a blood hole appeared in their mouth!

Titter!

Blood splattered at the scene!

Death!

Another corpse fell down.

"I advised you nicely, even if you're not in the Divine Sea Realm, don't open your mouth in front of the father!" Yun Xiao sneered and turned around!

Bang!

He stepped on Jiang Yue's face beneath his foot!

Jiang Yue didn't dare to struggle, crying bitterly, her dignity trampled to the ground.

"What talent? Died without keeping a promise, do you understand?" Yun Xiao looked down at her.

"I understand! I understand, Elder Brother Yun Xiao..."

Jiang Yue cried in grief, utterly humiliated.

She was the goddess of the first Jianfeng!Everyone revered her.

Yet Yun Xiao treated her like a pig dog underfoot!

"Junior Sister Jiang!"

Several hundred disciples from the first, third, and sixth Jianfeng roared with fury!

Several Divine Sea Realm sword-revering disciples and prominent figures from various Jianfeng gathered, their eyes ablaze!

"Yun Xiao, if you don't die today, I and others will commit suicide by breaking our swords!!" Ye Tiance's disciples came forth!

Three days ago!

Yun Xiao had been on the receiving end of their disdainful gazes as talent sword cultivators.

At that time, they hadn't even glanced at him!

But now!

They drew their Sword Souls, their supernatural powers surging, shaking the heavens with a dreadfully murderous aura!

Yun Xiao had trampled the goddess of the first Jianfeng, trampling their dignity and challenging them again!

Ka ka!

He stomped on Jiang Yue's face, his gaze sweeping over the crowd of arrogant sword-revering disciples!

"Are you just going to gawk? Come up and die! A bunch of worthless trash!"

The several hundred disciples were grinding their teeth in anger, roaring.

"Destroy him!"

"Tear him to shreds!!"

Bang!

The entire arena erupted in chaos!!!
