Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 387: The picture shows the dagger
Upon hearing this, a burst of laughter immediately erupted in the hall.

The disciples of the Heavenly Blade Sect all glared angrily.

Yun Haijiao laughed and said, "Brother Hu has always been known in the martial arts world for his reputation as the Bonecrusher. How about I ask Brother Hu to teach me a few moves and make a fool of myself in front of Grandmaster Tan?"

Hu Wenxiang sought instructions from Tan Yuan.

Tan Yuan frowned slightly, finding it difficult to make a decision.

These people clearly have ill intentions. If a fight breaks out and something goes wrong, it will be difficult to control the situation.

Yun Haijiao laughed loudly, "The Heavenly Blade Sect is the ancestor of all swordsmen in the martial world, and is revered by all martial artists. Are you going to be afraid of battle today?"

"I think the Heavenly Blade Sect's reputation is probably going to collapse."

Tan Yuan felt a surge of anger. He thought to himself, "This guy is so rude. If I don't accept his challenge, how will the Heavenly Blade Sect maintain its standing in the martial world?"

Moreover, although Yun Haijiao was a powerful figure in the region, he was not from a prestigious family and his cultivation was limited, making him inferior to his eldest disciple, Hu Wending.

It would be a good thing to let Wen Ding take action now, decisively defeat him, and deter the other villains.

So he nodded and said, "Wen Ding, you will keep Chief Yun company for a while."

Hu Wending was furious at Yun Haijiao's rude words that insulted the Heavenly Blade Sect. He had long wanted to teach him a lesson, and now that his master had agreed, he was eager to try.

He cupped his hands and said, "The hall is cramped and it is inconvenient to fight. Please move over, Chief Yun."

The two then walked to the martial arts training ground outside the palace.

The Heavenly Blade Sect and all the other people who came to offer their birthday wishes also moved outside.

Hu Wending, carrying his famous Snow-blowing Blade, jumped into the training ground and said, "Greetings, Chief Yun."

Yun Haijiao also drew his sword and jumped into the training ground. Without saying a word, he immediately pounced on Hu Wending.

Yun Haijiao's martial arts skills are mostly derived from battles in the martial world, so every move he makes is full of killing intent and has a magnificent presence.

The members of the Heavenly Blade Sect immediately became anxious.

But after exchanging a few blows, they calmed down.

Yun Haijiao's moves are more about killing intent than finesse; he can easily handle ordinary martial artists.

However, for Hu Wending, the eldest disciple who had deeply inherited the true teachings of the Heavenly Blade Sect, his swordsmanship had too many flaws.

Hu Wending first stabilized his position and held his ground against Yun Haijiao, preventing his ferocious swordsmanship from breaking through his defenses.

He then used his ingenious techniques to weave a fine net around the Cloud Sea Dragon.

Yun Haijiao felt that his moves were restricted everywhere, and often before he could reach the peak of his momentum, he would be cut off by his opponent, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

The members of the Heavenly Blade Sect realized that Yun Haijiao had fallen into Hu Wending's trap, and if he could not break through it, he would soon be defeated.

However, breaking through the net is extremely difficult. Either one must use more sophisticated techniques to counter Hu Wending's swordsmanship, or one must use strength far exceeding Hu Wending's to tear the net apart directly.

Yun Haijiao's cultivation level is only comparable to Hu Wending's; where does he get such great strength?

Hu Wending, confident in his victory, thought that defeating him in front of all the heroes of the world would be too disgraceful, and if he caused a scene at his master's birthday banquet, it would also be bad for his master's reputation.

Thinking this, he relaxed his strength a bit and wanted to suggest ending the fight in a draw.

Before he could speak, the Cloud Sea Flood Dragon Blade suddenly surged with power.

Hu Wending sensed that the opponent's strength was beyond his expectations, and the carefully woven net was suddenly torn apart.

A cold, sharp blade flashed straight into his throat.

"not good!"

Tan Yuan shouted and immediately rushed forward, throwing Hu Wending aside. He then kicked Yun Haijiao's wrist, scaring the man away.

He turned to check on his eldest apprentice's injuries and found his face covered in sweat, clearly indicating he was enduring great pain. Looking further at his neck, he saw a large red and swollen patch on his throat.

Although Yun Haijiao's blade missed its target, the blade's energy had already penetrated his body, injuring not only his throat but also wreaking havoc within him.

"How do you possess the Three-Layer Wave Force Technique of the Surging Wave Sect?!"

Tan Yuan said angrily.

The Three-Layer Wave Force Technique is a unique skill of the Jade Dragon Mountain Surging Wave Sect, and now it has been mastered by Yun Haijiao.

Tan Yuan's mind raced, and he quickly realized what was happening.

This Yunhai Jiao was a henchman sought by several other holy lands. They dared not rashly turn against the Heavenly Blade Sect, so they chose Yunhai Jiao, taught him secret techniques, and used him as a test of the waters.

Yun Haijiao said proudly, "What Three-Layer Wave Force? This is my Great River Layered Wave Force."

His eyes gleamed with a tyrannical light.

The battle just now gave him great confidence, not only because he defeated Hu Wending, but more importantly, because Tan Yuan's kick failed to knock the knife out of his hand.

This would have been unthinkable in the past!
There is only one explanation: Tan Yuan's cultivation level has declined significantly.

That was his purpose: to probe the true strength of the Heavenly Blade Sect.

The others naturally noticed it as well.

In an instant, everyone stared intently at the Heavenly Blade Sect members.

Everyone thought that Tan Yuan must have damaged his foundation in a fight with Hu Dalin, which is why his cultivation level had greatly decreased.

The Heavenly Blade Sect has been searching for spiritual herbs for him over the past few years in order to heal his injuries.

However, since Tan Yuan was able to kill Hu Dalin, it means that he has the cultivation level of the Divine Realm.

Such a divinely inspired, sickly tiger-like being is simply a godsend.

From him, everyone can obtain the secret to breaking through to godhood.

So everyone stopped hiding their intentions and pressed forward.

Kuang Shiyuan sneered, "Grandmaster Tan, three years ago, that fiend Hu Dalin visited your sect, but then disappeared without a trace. Does your sect know his whereabouts?"

Tan Yuan gestured for several disciples to come to his side, ready to deal with any attacks from the crowd, and said, "That wicked disciple has been killed."

Kuang Shiyuan said, "Hu Da had already broken through to the Divine Realm before he died. Since he died in your sect, the secret of the Divine Realm must also be in your sect."

"I wonder if your faction would be willing to make it public?"

"That demon ravaged the martial world, and countless people died at his hands. Revealing his secrets can be considered compensation for the bloodshed he caused."

These guys really came for this reason!

The members of the Heavenly Blade Sect cursed inwardly.

Tan Yuan said coldly, "I have no idea what kind of divine secrets you possess."

Yun Haijiao sneered, "Talking about Grandmaster Tan is not fair."

"You nurtured a demon who wreaked havoc on the world, yet no one blamed the Heavenly Blade Sect for it; that is already a rare act of magnanimity."

"Now that the demon is dead, you have hidden the secret of the divine connection. That demon ravaged the world for many years, stealing countless secret techniques from various sects. The method of the divine connection may have been comprehended from these secret techniques."

"Therefore, it belongs to all fellow practitioners in the martial arts world, not to your Heavenly Blade Sect as private property."

"If Grandmaster Tan remains stubbornly unenlightened, he shouldn't blame us for not showing any camaraderie!"

Yang Wenchang said angrily, "You talk such high-sounding words, but you just want to rob us. When have you ever had any brotherhood with us!"
