#70 - A sword that amazed the audience
Jun Wuxie ascended the Life and Death Stage, reaching out to grab the Primordial Sword Embryo, which flew back to his side.
The sword embryo weighed tens of thousands of pounds, but for him now, it was negligible.
In the Illusionary World of Mortals, he had nurtured the sword embryo, establishing a deep connection with it.
At this moment, Qin Keqing had already arrived in front of the Third Prince. When she handed over the gold coin card to place her bet, the Third Prince's face revealed a look of astonishment.
He immediately stood up and said loudly to the high-level members of the Four Great Families, "Miss Qin is betting one billion gold coins, a generous gift that I, this Prince, cannot enjoy alone. How about inviting the Four Great Families to join me in hosting the betting pool?"
"Since the Third Prince sincerely invites us, how could we refuse?"
The high-level members of the Four Great Families were delighted and stood up, very willing to accept.
They knew that the Third Prince was using this as an opportunity to show his goodwill to them.
Moreover, accepting the Third Prince's kindness did not mean choosing his camp.
Presumably, even if the Emperor knew, he would not say anything.
With so much wealth placed before them, what reason was there to refuse?
On the Life and Death Stage, Jun Wuxie was startled.
He almost suspected that the Third Prince had misspoke, or that he had misheard.
One billion gold coins?
Qin Keqing had placed a bet of one billion for him?
His beast core was estimated to be worth at most tens of millions, one billion was simply too exaggerated.
What was Qin Keqing's identity that allowed the Hunter Association to open a betting pool that others saw as sure to lose, and then she herself put up one billion!
"Jun Wuxie, watch me kill you within three moves! I will let the world know that my Great River Sword Sect did not miss out on a genius, but that you are simply not worthy of joining my Great River Sword Sect!"
Chu Yixuan's Great River True Energy was boiling, flowing around his body like a long river, condensing countless sword energies within it, creating a terrifying sword energy gale on the Life and Death Stage.
"Killing you requires only one sword."
Jun Wuxie still said the same words, very calmly.
He stood on the Life and Death Stage, his blue robes fluttering, his thick black hair flying in the wind, his deep eyes like two deep pools.
"Kill!"
Chu Yixuan could not bear it. A person who was at most in the Qi Condensation Realm was spouting nonsense in front of him.
Rumble!
The flowing Great River True Energy, wrapped around his body and rushed into the high sky, like a long river flowing backward.
Then, the sword energy river swooped down, the dense sword energy attacking Jun Wuxie like a sword dragon.
Everyone opened their eyes wide.
Jun Wuxie had once dared to fight against elite elders in the Great River Sword Sect. Today, facing Chu Yixuan, would he be able to withstand three moves?
Seeing the sword energy river impacting down, about to hit his body, he still stood on the Life and Death Stage, without any movement.
Just when people were guessing whether his fighting will had collapsed under Chu Yixuan's sword intent and aura, he moved.
He reached out and grasped the Primordial Sword Embryo floating in front of him.
In an instant, an indescribable sword intent swept across the entire Life and Death Stage, and spread wildly in all directions.
"What sword intent is this?"
Someone exclaimed. At this moment, Jun Wuxie was clearly standing on the Life and Death Stage, but he seemed to be proudly standing in the rolling world of mortals, overlooking the rise and fall of humanity.
Boom!
He swung his sword forward.
The sword energy was like the rolling world of mortals, three thousand fleeting lives, sweeping across the heavens and the earth.
The sword light was dazzling and unparalleled.
In the blazing sword light, people faintly saw all aspects of the mortal world, the rise and fall of the great world, the vicissitudes of life, all kinds of scenes, flashing by like a passing lantern.
In an instant, the Great River Sword Energy completely collapsed.
Under the impact of the Mortal World Sword Energy, it dissipated like smoke.
The sharpness of the sword was destructive and unstoppable. In this world, it seemed that nothing could resist it!
"Great River Defense!"
Chu Yixuan was horrified, feeling the terrifying sword intent, as if three thousand mortal worlds, the fleeting lives of the world, were pressing down, making him unable to bear it, his mind cracking.
At the moment when the Great River Sword Energy collapsed, he successively pinched dozens of sword seals, weaving a dense net of sword shields in front of him.
Bang!
The Mortal World Sword Energy slashed down, and the sword shield could not withstand it at all, collapsing instantly.
With a puff.
"No!"
In Chu Yixuan's horrified eyes, in the shocked eyes of the people.
The blazing sword energy slashed on Chu Yixuan's body, blood splattering everywhere, splitting him in half, his fragmented body flying to both sides in the surging sword energy, falling into the dust, his internal organs spilling all over the ground.
Jun Wuxie carried his hands behind his back, the Primordial Sword Embryo shuttling around his body, the Mortal World Sword Intent quickly restrained.
He did not even look at Chu Yixuan's body, facing the direction where the people of the Great River Sword Sect were, he said: "This is the genius among the top three elite disciples of your Great River Sword Sect? Just a bunch of useless trash!"
The muscles on the faces of the people of the Great River Sword Sect twitched violently, their expressions extremely gloomy.
The sect's genius was killed by a disciple of the Sect King Academy. In the past hundreds of years, this had never happened!
Today, in front of countless people in the capital, the majesty of the Great River Sword Sect was damaged.
The entire scene was silent.
People had not yet recovered from that amazing sword strike.
It was too unbelievable!
Jun Wuxie, who was at most in the Qi Condensation Realm, had actually killed Chu Yixuan, who was at the fourth level of the Cave Heaven Realm, with just one sword!
Chu Yixuan was not an ordinary sword cultivator, he was a leader among geniuses, a strong person on the Southern Domain's List!
"My brother is the most amazing!"
Yue Yao's little face was flushed with excitement, showing off to the surrounding crowd: "That's my brother, my very own brother!"
"His progress is unbelievable. How long has it been?"
Su Lan's heart was filled with shock. She had underestimated his potential.
"Good! Kid, well done!"
Uncle Bird smiled, and tears streamed down his face as he smiled.
People looked over, but no one laughed at him.
The humiliation and grievances suffered by the Sect King Academy for hundreds of years could finally be released somewhat today.
"What sword intent is this?"
He Jianyun's face was gloomy, his eyes flickering. He racked his brains, but he could not figure out the origin of the sword move that Jun Wuxie used. It was simply unheard of.
Here, few people spoke. The martial artists of higher realms were recalling the sword just now, trying to find clues from it.
On a distant mountain peak, under an ancient pine tree.
Ji Yinlan, dressed in a silver-white long dress, her ribbons flying, quietly watched the Life and Death Stage.
Beside her was an old man, exclaiming: "This old servant has to admit Miss's vision. This child is indeed a promising talent, and his future achievements will be extraordinary."
Speaking of this, he changed the subject: "It's just that he and Miss are still not people of the same world. The Master said that Miss's future is in the heavens, not here."
"What secrets are on my body?" Ji Yinlan frowned slightly, saying: "Master seems to know many secrets about me, but I have no right to know…"
"Miss, the Master has his own considerations and will tell you when the time comes." The old man looked at the Life and Death Stage, saying: "In the future, Miss should try to keep her distance from him as much as possible, so as not to bring him unnecessary trouble."
"Old Yu, I don't need you to teach me how to do things."
Ji Yinlan's expression was displeased. What she hated most was the old man mentioning this matter to her.
…
At the scene of the Life and Death Duel, there was a deathly silence.
Those who had bet on the victory of the Great River Sword Sect could not help but panic.
The sword just now was too amazing, causing the already certain outcome to change.
The Third Prince was restless, and could not help but become nervous.
The faces of the Four Great Families were not very good.
They had invested heavily this time, both betting and hosting the betting pool. Once the plan failed, they would face huge losses!
"Next!" On the Life and Death Stage, Jun Wuxie looked down at Sima Yuan and Xiang Ziyun of the Great River Sword Sect, saying: "Which of you will come? If I take more than two swords, I lose!"
"Arrogant!"
Those who had bet on the victory of the Great River Sword Sect naturally did not want to lose, and could not help but sneer: "Do you think you are invincible after killing Chu Yixuan? How dare you be so arrogant?"
"What?" Jun Wuxie looked in the direction from which the voice came, saying: "Don't I look like an expert?"
Everyone: …
"Hahaha!" Xiang Ziyun laughed wildly, stepping on his sword and landing on the Life and Death Stage, his eyes staring at Jun Wuxie like sharp swords, saying coldly: "In my life, anyone who has been so arrogant in front of me, Xiang Ziyun, has grass two meters high on their grave!"
"You can't."
Jun Wuxie's words were indifferent, the Primordial Sword Embryo shuttling around his body, the Mortal World Sword Intent began to release, golden blood energy rushing into the sword embryo like thousands of rivers, turning the sword embryo into pure gold, blooming with brilliant golden light.
"Then let's try!"
Xiang Ziyun raised his hands high, and all the true energy in his body burst out in an instant, rumbling out, gathering into a surging river.
"Great River Sword Weapon, Break the Eight Desolations!"
The rushing river flowed backward into the sky, and in the clanging of swords, it condensed into a terrifying Qi sword that was ten zhang long, humming, releasing majestic sword intent, as if to break through the eight desolations and six directions!
