Chapter 298: Don\'t Think About Showing Off in Front of Me!
"He\'s stronger!" the folks from the Grand Temple exclaimed, visibly stunned.
"Yun Xiao!" Fu Longxiang bellowed, rising furiously despite spitting blood. His eyes turned a fierce red, resembling a wild beast as he glared at the young man in white. Sword in one hand, sigil in the other, a more potent divine might surged forth.
"How about it?" Yun Xiao landed gracefully, raising an eyebrow at this top talent of the Nine Hells. Indeed, he was a worthy opponent.
"The battle is not yet decided!" Fu Longxiang, who had never lost a fight among his peers, still held high aspirations! He couldn\'t bear the adoring gazes that everyone bestowed upon Yun Xiao.
This white-clad youth was so flawless that Fu Longxiang couldn\'t even find an angle to scorn him. It was a humbling perfection!
For the ever-arrogant Fu Longxiang, this was an inner defeat! He always considered himself the most perfect prodigy in the universe, born of high lineage, a master of both sword and sigil, revered and admired by all since childhood!
But today, in this world hidden between the folds of the Nine Hells, everyone looked at him with mocking eyes, as if he were merely a laughable backdrop!
How could he bear such a fall from grace?
Losing to the black-scaled beast was one thing, but losing to a peer, especially with the Calamity Seal Sword in hand, was unbearable!
"Die!!" When Fu Longxiang roared this, it signified his mental imbalance. His power might have increased, but his spirit had fractured. It was the despair of being overshadowed by a superior talent!
With a determined look, he turned and charged towards Yun Xiao! As he made his move, it was a dual assault of sword and sigil again!
BUZZ! From his left hand, a daoist spell named Dark Torrent burst forth from the Myriad Manifestations Sigil.
ROAR! In that instant, his dazzling sigil darkened, the colorful light turned to black, transforming the entire Life Sigil into a malevolent, sky-piercing torrent of darkness. It swept towards Yun Xiao and even aimed at the students of the Grand Temple behind him!
Clearly, this move was vicious! Yun Xiao had to intercept this attack to protect his own people. Otherwise, if this spell hit the crowd, with Fu Longxiang\'s strength, it could annihilate half of the Grand Temple in one strike!
Meanwhile, Fu Longxiang\'s right hand wielded the Calamity Seal Sword, slashing towards Yun Xiao!
Withered Spirit Sword Canon, Nirvana Lotus!
Similar to Rootless Grass, this Palm Sword Technique also embodied the power of death and destruction. Fu Longxiang harnessed the power of the Calamity Seal Sword to create a grim flower of hell in the air, looming over Yun Xiao\'s head!
BOOM! The divine might of the Calamity Seal Sword was clearly stronger when wielded in his hand! This was no longer just a weapon, but a ferocious demon with inherent lethality!
"So this is the dual cultivation of sword and sigil, huh?" From start to finish, Yun Xiao\'s expression remained cold, as if watching an ant perform. "The sigil is real, but the sword is fake."
Under the onslaught of Dark Torrent and Nirvana Flower, Yun Xiao stood with his hair flying and his white robe billowing.
Even in such peril, his name echoed throughout the Grand Temple, followed by countless fervent and admiring gazes... they didn\'t even flinch, such was their confidence in Yun Xiao!
Mockery? Nonexistent! In the eyes of the cultivators from the Divine Continent, Yun Xiao was akin to a divine being!
Yun Xiao coldly eyed Fu Longxiang, also moving both hands.
BUZZ! He flicked his left hand, and a massive dark vortex appeared right in front of Fu Longxiang! The vortex, like a gaping maw of darkness, instantly swallowed the Dark Torrent whole!
"What is this?" Fu Longxiang cried out, panic surging in his heart.
Yun Xiao\'s daoist spell was a fusion of the Wuji Dao Art, the Divine Sky Sword, and even Fu Longxiang\'s own Dark Torrent...
Dark Torrent was a daoist spell of the Calamity Seal Purgatory. How could an Exiled Sword Immortal from the Sword Ruins know it? Who taught him? Baffled by this question, Fu Longxiang\'s mind spiraled into chaos. As his spirit wavered, he staked everything on the Calamity Seal Sword.
"The Calamity Seal Sword can shatter any Sword Soul!" Fu Longxiang cried out. This was the pride of every Inscription Cultivator and their mockery of Sword Cultivators!
Fu Longxiang gripped the sword with both hands, augmenting it with his Myriad Manifestations Sigil. The sword and sigil united, amplifying the lethal power of the Withered Spirit Sword Canon, Nirvana Lotus! His resolve reached its zenith!
Facing him, Yun Xiao\'s indifference also peaked. "A heart without a sword, merely its form. Relying on divine weapons, what kind of Sword Cultivator are you?"
Without staking one\'s life in battle, one could never possess the spirit of a true swordsman! No risk, no Sword Cultivator!
Confronting the Calamity Seal Sword\'s suppression, Yun Xiao merely smiled coldly, raising his hand to unleash a sword strike, a storm of death sweeping forth!
RUMBLE! Centered around the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, a deathly Nirvana Lotus, composed of seven Sword Rings and myriad layers of Sword Aura, descended!
Formed entirely of Sword Aura, born from the depths of the underworld, its ghostly sword intent swept across the Heavenly Realm, plunging this pocket world into a hellish abyss, terrifying many children into screams of panic!
The disparity was clear.
"Your swordsmanship is just that, swordsmanship. Mine, however, is the art of creation." Yun Xiao\'s lips curved slightly. With a casual thrust, the ashen-gray deathly Nirvana Lotus burst open with bloody fangs, clashing against the other flower!
BOOM! The clash of swords shook heaven and earth!
Outside the Flying Crane Hall, countless sword lights crisscrossed the ground, carving hundreds of thousands of marks into the bluestone floor! All the sword marks combined formed a spectacular, otherworldly flower when viewed from above!
"Ugh" Fu Longxiang, gripping the Calamity Seal Sword, felt as if a hellish canopy had descended upon him! Their powers were comparable, their weapons nearly matched, yet he felt an overwhelming sense of despair, as if he were being crushed to ashes!
BOOM! His Nirvana Lotus was pulverized into dust!
In that moment, the Calamity Seal Sword seemed to vanish from his world, severing all ties with him, like a stone sinking into the depths of the sea! He opened his eyes to see! It was gone!
The peerless divine sword he relied on had somehow ended up in Yun Xiao\'s hands!
In that instant, Fu Longxiang\'s spirit shattered like glass, completely obliterated. A wave of despair washed over his face, his wide eyes filled with confusion and collapse!
"What kind of monster..." Fu Longxiang muttered. Having been a genius all his life, he realized only now what a true genius was!
This oppressive sense of talent made Fu Longxiang, the number one genius of the Nine Hells, feel as if his insides were being crushed, as if he had fallen to the ground, trampled into a bloody pulp!
"Remember this, in your next life, don\'t show off your sword skills in front of me." Yun Xiao casually tossed the Calamity Seal Sword to the ground and stepped on it. And the sword, as if a lowly creature, whined and trembled pitifully, even seeking his favor!
This scene further shattered Fu Longxiang\'s psyche.
"The Calamity Seal Sword, isn\'t it the eternal shadow of Sword Cultivators..."
Yet now, Yun Xiao had become the shadow of the Calamity Seal Sword and of Fu Longxiang himself!
"No!" Fu Longxiang, breaking through the deathly Nirvana Lotus and relying on his Myriad Manifestations Sigil, lunged at Yun Xiao, seeking a sliver of hope!
He was desperate! Sadly, the last struggle of a man whose spirit had crumbled was both pitiful and laughable.
Yun Xiao looked at him with disdain, flicked the Calamity Seal Sword with his foot, and suddenly appeared in front of Fu Longxiang!
PUFF! PUFF! PUFF! PUFF! Four consecutive strikes! The Calamity Seal Sword slashed with incredible ferocity!
After four slashes, Fu Longxiang\'s limbs were severed, leaving only a mutilated torso that crashed down before Yun Xiao.
"My arms! My legs... AGHH!!!" Fu Longxiang\'s eyes tore open in agony, screaming, his face a portrait of despair.
"You\'re too noisy." With a swift motion, Yun Xiao used the Calamity Seal Sword to sever his tongue.
And so, Fu Longxiang\'s screams turned into pitiful whimpers.
"Ughhh!" In extreme agony, Fu Longxiang could only glare at Yun Xiao with eyes full of rage! He was silent, but his eyes seemed to threaten Yun Xiao, probably thinking, "If you kill me, my parents will make you pay dearly!"
"Still not yielding?"
STAB! STAB! Yun Xiao poked twice, and Fu Longxiang\'s furious eyes burst, blood splattering his face. He shivered, wailing miserably, shrinking into nothingness. That finally quieted him down!
"You still want to bring a billion bachelors to plague the girls of the Divine Continent?"
Just thinking about Fu Longxiang\'s era of Inscription Cultivators enraged Yun Xiao!
They were all humans. Yet, why were these Inscription Cultivators so shameless?
Even expecting Yun Xiao\'s three beautiful aunts to bear ten children each?
Seeing the Talisman Prince like this, it was clear what the ethos of the Calamity Seal Purgatory was like.
"Girls are so precious, yet you favor boys and neglect girls? Female infants struggling to survive?" Yun Xiao grew even more furious thinking about this.
SLASH! SLASH! He casually lopped off Fu Longxiang\'s ears as well!
Now, Fu Longxiang could neither see, speak, nor hear. His world was reduced to nothing but pain!
Yun Xiao then produced a cloth-like magic treasure and wrapped it around Fu Longxiang. With that, even his howls were silenced, bringing utter tranquility.
"The supreme treasure of the Calamity Seal Purgatory?" Yun Xiao chuckled and tucked it away. Though he didn\'t think much of it, it was still a treasure that would make anyone happy.
"Yun Xiao!" The next moment, a tsunami of cheers washed over him!
All around, he was met with eyes full of admiration.
"So dreamy! Big Brother Yun, lemme bear your pups!" a gruff voice rang among the crowd.
Yun Xiao turned to look, and he saw a burly youth with tan skin grinning stupidly at him. "God dammit, Stray Dog! You\'re even cringier than Zhao Xiaotang!"
"Ha ha!" Tens of thousands of students and teachers from the Grand Temple burst into laughter. Even their laughter couldn\'t hide their admiration for Yun Xiao.
Meanwhile, Nangong Xi, You Yue, and Su Lianlian had already joined him. Their eyes were filled with warm tears.
"What\'s wrong? Aren\'t you happy the problem\'s solved?" Yun Xiao asked.
"Naughty boy, next time something like this happens, don\'t wait for the perfect moment to show up. It\'s too scary, you know?" Su Lianlian chided.
"I can\'t do that. Choosing the right moment to enter is a man\'s instinct," Yun Xiao said with a smile.
"Man? You\'re just 16 years old, you little punk. You sure know a lot of tricks!" Su Lianlian scoffed.
Despite their complaints and scorn, they were actually thrilled for Yun Xiao.
"Why didn\'t you kill him?" Nangong Xi asked softly.
"No rush, he still has some use." Yun Xiao looked towards the Demon Continent and chuckled.
Devils and Inscription Cultivators thinking of joining forces? It was wishful thinking!
"Yun Xiao, his backing is powerful, isn\'t it? Won\'t it cause trouble for you?" You Yue asked with concern.
"I\'m the one who caused trouble for everyone," Yun Xiao paused, then said earnestly, "But don\'t worry, there won\'t be anything like this again."
"Okay."
Hearing this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then let\'s keep it under wraps too. Seal today\'s events within the Grand Temple and forbid any gossip," Nangong Xi suggested with care.
"Alright." Yun Xiao nodded. "I\'ll get to my tasks then. In a couple of days, when I\'m free, I\'ll take you three to the Eternal Sword Prison and Sword Ruins. Let\'s try to bring the Sword Ruins\' heritage here."
"The heritage of the Sword Ruins?" Su Lianlian scoffed, "It\'s not going to involve harming girls, is it?"
"Definitely not," Yun Xiao assured earnestly. "If it\'s mutual love, that\'s fine. But if anyone dares to coerce the people of the Divine Continent, they\'re signing their own death warrant."
This matter would require their coordination. Their talents were commendable, and Yun Xiao planned to make them even stronger.
With Mu Dalong\'s help, Yun Xiao wouldn\'t have to worry too much.
His idea was: now that the pathways were open, rather than being passive, why not actively embrace the greater world? Connecting the Sword Ruins, Heavenly Realm, Sea of Swords, and Azure Spirit into one, forming a ladder of growth for Sword Cultivators!
This way, everyone had a chance!
"I\'m off," Yun Xiao said.
Knowing he would return, the three women didn\'t make a fuss and watched him leave, lost in their thoughts for a long time.
"What\'s he planning to do with that Inscription Cultivator\'s life?" Nangong Xi wondered.
"Definitely up to no good... This kid\'s handsome but wicked at heart," Su Lianlian said.
"He\'s mischievous, but he has a sense of justice deep down," You Yue corrected.
"Sure sure!" Su Lianlian pouted, "But from my experience with men, especially regarding girls, he\'s definitely a naughty boy."
You Yue rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Stop pretending. We all know you don\'t actually have any experience."
