"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
To withstand the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, where would there be such abundant Yuan Force?
Bai Hong collapsed. The long sword in his hand instantly broke. His sword heart was shattered. With a broken sword heart, he could no longer wield a long sword and roam the world!
But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came, filled with extreme anger and a merciless killing intent.
"How dare you! You insignificant wretch, to dare kill my disciple, take your life!"
Xu Ji, who was sitting on the platform, roared. The sound waves were vast, and a jade-green long sword flashed out, carrying immense power.
With lightning speed, it pierced directly towards Zhu Sheng.
Xu Ji attacked suddenly. The jade-green long sword arrived before Zhu Sheng in the blink of an eye.
There was no time to launch an attack, so he hurriedly brought the saber in the air before him.
*Bang!!*
The saber instantly shattered.
"Pfft!"
The immense recoil sent Zhu Sheng's blood and energy churning.
"Guard!"
The Wood Feather Fan in his hand flew out, standing before him, spinning rapidly!
The jade-green long sword pierced through the saber and thrust directly towards the Wood Feather Fan.
*Bang!*
*Clang clang!*
"Pfft!"
Blood stained the Wood Feather Fan before him.
Seeing that his move had missed, Xu Ji withdrew his long sword.
Xu Ji's attack was too fast, and everyone was still immersed in the competition. Who would have expected Xu Ji to attack suddenly?
"Xu Ji, you actually openly violated the rules and attacked a participant without cause. Do you still have the imperial court in your eyes?"
Che Ming was furious and immediately enraged.
"Hahaha."
"What are you to me!"
"Hmph!"
Xu Ji waved his long sword, raising an eyebrow.
"You!"
"Furthermore, I was merely blocking a fatal blow for my disciple. I did not take his life."
"Hmph!"
If it weren't for the sect having a Grandmaster expert, he would have reported it to the governor and annihilated their sect.
Yang Hao saw that Che Ming was not going to stand up for Zhu Sheng's unfair treatment and violently attacked!
They didn't need to risk their lives for him.
And they still wanted to win me over to work for your prefecture!
Humph!
You fear him, but I do not. He injured my subordinate. If Zhu Sheng hadn't had one more strike left in him, he would have already bled out on the arena.
Yang Hao signaled Zhou Yuji and nodded slightly.
"Presumptuous!"
Everyone saw the silent, steadfast man behind Yang Hao step forward. His body was imposing.
His eyes widened, a cold light flashed within them, and killing intent surged, an overwhelming aura of suppression and chilling cold!
The Tiger Head Carving Gold Spear thrust forward, its blood-dripping malevolence and crimson light obscuring everything!
*Swish!*
The spear shadows were like dragons, churning the rivers and seas!
The spear shadows seemed to transcend time, like a dragon entering the sea, the spearhead pointed directly at Xu Ji.
"Hmph!"
"Seeking death!"
Xu Ji was instantly enraged. Ever since his sect leader entered the Grandmaster realm, wherever he, Xu Ji, went, people would give him three points of respect and call him "Sword Sect Ninth Elder."
Even the Twelve Guards of the Prefecture, whose strength was on par with his and who held prominent positions, had to show him courtesy!
Who was this person?
Just a city general, whom he had never even heard of. With just his cultivation, he dared to attack him!
Even Che Ming, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Zhou Yuji.
Although Xu Ji was not a good person, he had connections!
Even if he himself were to act, if a Grandmaster from the Sword Sect came looking for trouble, the imperial court would not be able to protect him.
The long sword circled Xu Ji, sword shadows like venomous snakes, entwining him eerily, densely packed, and terrifying.
He clenched his right hand forward. The sword let out a piercing cry, and he drew it out.
The jade-green long sword was completely drawn from its sheath. The blade was jade-green, tinged with deep crimson blood. He roared and thrust the sword down!
*Bang!!*
*Clang clang!!*
The sword and spear collided. The violent shockwaves swept downwards.
Liao Hua quickly shielded Yang Hao.
*Boom boom!!*
Most of the crowd near the spectator stands felt their lungs injured!
Most of the people present were witnessing the power of a seventh-level Xiantian expert for the first time. In ordinary times, such powerful individuals rarely descended upon a small county town!
Zhou Yuji's expression was icy. He stood not far from Xu Ji, the Tiger Head Carving Gold Spear in his hand twirling and buzzing!
He flicked his wrist and thrust out the spear.
The spear traversed through the air, its edge sharp, emanating killing intent. The crowd retreated one after another, hastily circulating their Yuan Force to resist.
Che Ming's face was solemn. He knew Zhou Yuji was so formidable. He should have intervened to stop Xu Ji, but unfortunately, he was afraid. He was afraid that even the governor could not save him if things escalated.
Yang Hao, you're on your own!
Provoking the Sword Sect would make it difficult to survive in Yizhou.
Xu Ji's face was contorted. His Yuan Force circulated throughout his body. He hadn't expected the young man before him to be so powerful.
In an instant, the jade-green long sword condensed into a jade-green viper, with streaks of sword energy intertwining and condensing, wrapping around each other!
"Take your life!"
A low roar, filled with anger and ferocity, the jade-green viper formed by sword energy coiled itself and suddenly charged towards the spear shadows!
*Boom!*
"Boy, no one has been able to withstand this move of mine. Do not blame others for your death this time!"
"If you blame anyone, blame yourself for following the wrong master!"
Xu Ji looked at Zhou Yuji, who was resisting, glanced at Yang Hao, and chuckled coldly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes!
"You mere commoner, dare to speak so wildly!"
Zhou Yuji clenched his left fist and threw a punch. The fierce momentum rushed forward, the brutal energy soaring into the heavens.
It was like a ferocious white tiger, opening its bloody maw, its claws sharpened, charging towards the jade-green viper.
The punch was fierce, its power fully unleashed, like a tiger hunting prey. The jade-green viper was cut in half and vanished!
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of stale blood spurted out.
In a short exchange, Xu Ji realized that Zhou Yuji's strength was profound and that he couldn't cope for the moment. If this continued, he would surely perish here.
Without regard for the Sword Sect disciples behind him, he hastily turned and fled into the distance!
"Where do you think you're going!"
Zhou Yuji drew the long sword at his waist and threw it forward fiercely!
The long sword instantly turned into an afterimage and shot directly towards Xu Ji in the distance!
Xu Ji, who was fleeing in a hurry, stiffened. His pupils contracted sharply, and the hair on his body stood on end.
*Swish!*
A long sword flashed past, and an arm was severed.
Ah!
Yang Hao. I will not let you go!
He vanished into the sky in the blink of an eye!
The Sword Sect disciples were stunned. Their elder had abandoned them and fled alone. Chaos ensued as they scattered in all directions.
Liao Hua, carrying his Three-Pronged Halberd, walked step by step towards Bai Hong, who was lying on the ground.
"Those who insult my lord shall die!"
*Swish!*
The saber light flashed!
"Ding! Liao Hua has slain the Xiantian expert Bai Hong and gained 5000 Kill Points!"
This was a challenge thrown at the Sword Sect, a resounding slap in their faces!
Che Ming sighed and shook his head.
They do not understand the terror of the Grandmaster realm!
Since the grand competition has ended, I had intended to use the Yang family to suppress the Sword Sect, but I did not expect it to spiral out of my control!
Whether it is a blessing or a curse!
I should quickly return and report to the governor to see how he will handle this!
"City Lord Yang, congratulations, congratulations!"
Che Ming said, picked up the Prefect's Seal beside him, and handed it to Yang Hao!
