Seventy years old is the age to take risks!

"What?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yun became even angrier.

Is this old man going to let him have three more moves?

Hehehe... Hahahahahahahaha.

"You old bastard, prepare to die!"

Zhou Yun could no longer tolerate it and, disregarding all decorum as a disciple of a sect, drew his sword!

This sword strike was so fast and swift that the crowd could barely see the movement of the sword as it was aimed directly at Jiang Yuan's chest!

Although he was arrogant, he was indeed quite capable.

This sword strike, delivered by a Qi Condensation Level 8 cultivator and combined with the exquisite swordsmanship of the Qingxuan Sect, would be impossible for an ordinary Qi Condensation Realm martial artist to withstand.

Seeing this, Zhao You nodded secretly. Although Junior Brother Zhou's cultivation level was not high, he did have some talent in swordsmanship, only slightly inferior to Junior Sister. It seemed that he had a chance to be promoted to an inner disciple within three years.

However, what happened next shocked him even more.

Faced with this sword strike, Jiang Yuan neither dodged nor evaded; he simply flicked his longsword lightly to meet Zhou Yun's attack head-on.

Clang!

The two swords clashed, and a clear, ringing sound rang out.

The next moment, Zhou Yun felt a subtle force coming from the sword, and his entire arm went numb. Not only was his sword move instantly broken, but the longsword in his hand was also knocked away.

This block and parry happened in the blink of an eye.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, Zhou Yun's sword had already been knocked away.

"What's going on??"

Seeing this, the entire Qingxuan Sect group was dumbfounded.

Zhou Yun's powerful sword strike was so easily countered?

"The first move."

Jiang Yuan spoke calmly, his expression remaining indifferent, as if he didn't take the other party seriously at all.

Zhou Yun's sword skills were too rudimentary in his eyes at this moment.

She's not even as good as Guan Ling.

Given that their cultivation levels are roughly equal, his opponent could not possibly be a match for him!

"Damn it!"

Zhou Yun's face was extremely ugly. He never expected that he would break the sword technique so easily. It was a disgrace.

He turned around, picked up the longsword, and charged forward with another roar.

"Old man, don't be so smug, take another strike from me!"

"Shadowless Sword Technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yun took a step forward, his longsword swung out, and the sword light transformed into three sword shadows that enveloped everything below.

"Here it comes, Junior Brother Zhou's signature Shadowless Sword Technique!"

Several Qingxuan disciples exclaimed excitedly.

The Shadowless Sword Technique is one of the signature sword techniques of the Qingxuan Sect, and Zhou Yun is considered one of the most accomplished outer disciples who has mastered this sword technique to a high degree.

With this move, they gained the attention of the inner sect elders.

Unfortunately.

He ran into Jiang Yuan today!

Jiang Yuan remained calm and unhurried, even keeping one hand behind his back and not bothering to lift his eyelids.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan was not only unafraid but also calmly stood with his hands behind his back, Zhou Yun became even more furious:

"You old bastard, die!"

The sword light fell.

Zhou Yun transformed into three sword shadows that simultaneously struck Jiang Yuan, cleaving him in two!

He was hacked to death?

Zhou Yun was overjoyed, a smug look appearing in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Because he soon realized that he had only struck an afterimage!

"Fake?"

When his sword missed its mark, Zhou Yun's expression was one of utter disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

What the hell is going on?

Turning his head, he saw Jiang Yuan standing not far away, his smile mocking, like a ghost!

This left not only Zhou Yun stunned, but also the disciples of the Qingxuan Sect and all the martial artists present.

"Holy crap? What happened?"

"Am I seeing things? I clearly saw Zhou Yun strike Old Master Jiang!"

"Holy crap, what kind of move is that?"

Everyone looked surprised, completely bewildered by what had just happened.

Of those present, only Zhao You, Zhang Sheng, and Guan Ling noticed something amiss, and their expressions were even more shocked than the others.

Shadowless Sword Technique?

Was that old guy using the Shadowless Sword Technique just now?

impossible?

Zhao You rubbed his eyes, thinking he had misread it.

Guan Ling's eyes sparkled, seemingly a little excited, with a hint of admiration.

Senior Jiang is truly amazing!

I only recently learned the Shadowless Sword Technique from her, and I've already reached the highest level, where the sword becomes invisible!

This is even higher than the swordsmanship talent of the sect's patriarch!

Now she's starting to regret it.

Why didn't I exchange the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin" with Jiang Yuan back then? It would have been so much better to just become his disciple directly.

"Should we use the second move?"

Jiang Yuan spoke calmly. Although his current cultivation level was at the Qi Condensation Realm, his sword intent and swordsmanship were comparable to those of sword cultivators at the Meridian Opening Realm.

What can his opponent use to fight him?

Sweat beaded on Zhou Yun's forehead, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes, as if he realized he had kicked a hornet's nest.

Why is this old man so strange?

Despite his seemingly low cultivation level, he was able to easily deflect her sword attacks every time?

This is the sword technique of the Qingxuan Sect!

"Again!"

Zhou Yun gritted his teeth, and his sword stance suddenly changed, as if drawn from its sheath by a gust of wind.

Swift Wind Sword Technique, the sword cleaves through the sky!

This is also his strongest sword move, extremely powerful, enough to challenge opponents of higher levels!

Jiang Yuan's expression finally became serious.

Zhou Yun's sword strike was quite skillful.

Unfortunately, it still has too many flaws!

Jiang Yuan gently thrust his longsword into the most vulnerable spot on Zhou Yun's blade, instantly breaking through Zhou Yun's sword technique.

By the time Zhou Yun regained his footing, Jiang Yuan's sword was already pressed against his throat.

For a moment, the entire hall fell silent.

"That sword strike was fast, but unfortunately it was too forceful; too much of a good thing can be bad."

Jiang Yuan adopted the demeanor of a grandmaster and commented indifferently, "Three moves have passed. Young man, you should practice for several hundred more years before challenging this old man again."

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock.

The gap is too big.

This week, Yun Tang, a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect, was worlds apart from Jiang Yuan in swordsmanship; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the old man was playing with a child.

At this moment, Zhou Yun's face turned pale and then flushed, filled with shame and indignation.

He, a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect and a sword cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, was ultimately defeated by an old storyteller.

If word gets out, how will he ever have the face to stay in the sect again?

"Old sir, what excellent swordsmanship!"

Zhao You stepped in to smooth things over, cupping his hands in a fist and smiling, "Junior Brother Zhou is young and impetuous; he has offended you."

"But I wonder, sir, why do you know the swordsmanship of my Qingxuan Sect?"

Jiang Yuan glanced at Zhao You, then at Guan Ling, and said indifferently, "I have sparred with your esteemed sect's disciples before and learned a few moves. That's enough to teach you young people."

"Oh? I see!"

Zhao You nodded, looking enlightened.

now it's right.

Just now, Jiang Yuan used the Shadowless Sword Technique of their Qingxuan Sect, and his skill level was extremely high.

This old guy is a real hidden talent!

"Since you are an old friend of our sect's senior, I apologize for offending you," Zhao You said with a smile again.

"It's alright." Jiang Yuan waved his hand.

The farce came to an end as the two of them each had their own thoughts.
