True Martial World - Chapter 333: Severely Injured

"Yi Yun's hand…"

Everyone's focus was originally on Feng Lin, only now realized that the sword-wielding hand of Yi Yun was bleeding profusely. All the blood vessels in it had ruptured, and even the tendons and meridians had suffered a great deal of damage.

Just using a sword attack caused such an injury to his hand.

This sword move is too terrifying…

"To think that Yi Yun's hand would suffer such an injury. That sword move's power far exceeds that which Yi Yun can control. His cultivation level is limited, so injecting that much energy into his meridians caused them to tear immediately…"

The Tai Ah Divine City warriors were looking at Yi Yun with extreme worry.

With the price of one sword attack being so high, could Yi Yun still use his hand?

"Yi Yun!"

At that moment, the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord stood up. He was far in the seats of honor, but the look he gave Yi Yun was that of generous appreciation.

"You have already done very well. If you cannot continue, do not force yourself."

The Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord had no expectations of Yi Yun actually winning the overall group championship because it was just too difficult.

Now, the City Lord knew that it was unlikely that Yi Yun would be able to use his right hand anymore. At the very least, Yi Yun could not use that terrifying sword attack again.

His arm would not be able to handle it.

Because of the sword attack, with its large Yuan Qi consumption, Yi Yun was only left with 60-70% Yuan Qi. Fighting in such a state against the Yun Long Divine Kingdom competitors would be extremely difficult. In fact, it should be said that it was impossible to win.

Looking at the Yun Long Divine Kingdom’s side, there were 13 other people sitting on the participant benches. The pale-faced youth in black clothing had particularly stood out for the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord. His strength could only be described as unfathomable for Yuan Foundation realm warriors.

In such a situation, how could Yi Yun win?

At that moment, the youth in black was no longer sitting quietly in a corner. He stood up, holding a sword as he looked at Yi Yun with dark black eyes.

Yi Yun also looked back at the youth in black. His right hand was still trembling, with blood continuously dripping from it. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"What a pity…"

At that moment, the youth in black sent a Yuan Qi voice transmission to Yi Yun. His voice was cold and heartless, causing one to worry. "If I knew you had such strength, I would have personally fought you in the previous round. And now, with your hand in such a state… you can no longer fight me."

The youth in black glanced at Yi Yun's hand and showed a sense of regret.

Although in this overall group match participants were allowed to take pills, elixirs, and relics to treat themselves, due to the short period of time, they had limited effects.

Discerning people could tell that the injury on Yi Yun's hand had reached to the root of his bones and the meridians. Even if it was immediately treated, only a small portion could be healed in the short period of time. If Yi Yun were to use that sword attack again, his hand might be completely destroyed!

This youth in black felt that it was a great pity.

He was a fanatic for martial arts and he trumped all of his peers. As a lonely expert, he was thirsty for an elite that could compete with him in a delightful battle. If Yi Yun could use that sword move, then Yi Yun would be qualified.

Yi Yun looked at the youth in black silently. He had already expected that this battle would be very tough, now it was indeed so. It had even exceeded his predictions, just the second battle had injured his arm thoroughly.

However, Feng Lin was just too strong and forced Yi Yun to do so.

The sword attack that had been injected with the Pure Yang Sword Palace's concept could really not be used by Yi Yun. He could not slash out an attack with that amount of force, if he did, Yi Yun would not be able to handle the stress on his arm.

"Yi Yun, do not force yourself!" Seeing that Yi Yun was not responding, the City Lord said again.

In this alliance tournament, lives could be lost in the exchanges between experts. Even if no lives were lost, it could also end up with heavy injuries, crippling some of them. It was possible to end up bedridden for more than 6 months. And for an elite like Yi Yun, 6 months was too precious. He could not afford to lose that.

"Thank you for your concern City Lord. However, I think I can carry on fighting."

Yi Yun's voice was calm. The hearts of the Tai Ah Divine City warriors' sank when they heard him say this. It was extremely worrying seeing Yi Yun's current state.

With Yi Yun’s Yuan Qi being greatly depleted and having a severely injured hand, how could he carry on?

"Since you insist, then so be it…" The middle-aged scholar looked deeply at Yi Yun before slowly sitting down.

"Haha! This Yi Yun would rather die than lose face. He clearly can't handle it, yet he insists!" On the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's side, a youth in silk clothes laughed disdainfully.

The youth's silk clothes were the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's clothes of nobility. The noble’s clothes were embroidered with a flying black wyrm. It was equivalent to the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's Viscount. To rise to the rank of a Viscount at this age proved that this youth was not weak.

"A spent force should not speak the words of the brave. Yi Yun is finished. His hand is crippled and with less than 70% of his Yuan Qi left, he is nothing to be feared!" Another Yun Long Divine Kingdom elite said.

"He could admit defeat in a decent manner, but he was not smart enough and instead, he insists on dying on stage. If so, I will go up and finish him!"

The youth wearing the flying black river dragon suit grinned slyly and jumped up the Divine Wilderness Stage with a saber.

"Let me fight this match!"

The youth pointed his long saber at Yi Yun and smiled provocatively. "Yi Yun, you are very arrogant after having won a series of battles. Unfortunately, you are destined to be defeated by me, Murong Guang. Come! Let me see what other abilities you have left, use it all!"

Murong Guang's words had no restraint, causing the surrounding Tai Ah Divine City cultivators to fume with rage.

"Who does he think he is!? Taking advantage of a person's disadvantage and pretending to be great. He is shameless!"

Some senior cultivators only wished they could rush up and chop up Murong Guang.

"If not for Senior Yi Yun's injury, he would be no match for Senior Yi Yun!" One Tai Ah Divine City rookie junior was also fuming till her undeveloped chest heaved up and down.

However, at that moment, Murong Guang only sneered, "Only the outcome of the battle matters. Why does the process matter? So what if you are a genius? You will still end up being finished by me! No matter what reason it is, being defeated by me means being defeated. It is something you can't remove from your entire life. Even if female saints were screwed by me, they are forever screwed! Hahaha!"

As Murong Guang was laughing, he suddenly went into a daze.

He saw Yi Yun take out a container from his interspatial ring. He opened the container's lid and in it, there was a heavy and sticky liquid.

"What is it?"

Before Murong Guang could see it carefully, Yi Yun had tilted his head and finished all the red liquid in the container.

Inside the container, there was precious blood, the precious blood of the Golden Crow species!

In Fallen Star Gate, after killing the Golden Crow species, Yi Yun had kept the corpse of the Golden Crow species into his interspatial ring. He had also taken the blood of the Golden Crow species's heart and stored it in blood containers. This was where all the essence of the Golden Crow species was.

True Martial World - Chapter 332: Breaking Waves

"A sword attack you just learned?"

If not for Yi Yun previously beating the strong Jun Yue, using some unknown technique to defeat Qianshui through trickery, and having a remarkable battle record, Feng Lin would have suspected that Yi Yun had a mental problem. He was actually going to use a sword attack that he recently learned to attack her with all he got when he had never even used a sword before.

"In the Tai Ah Divine City, there is a sacred ground for learning saber and swords. I had the privilege of entering the sacred ground of swords and gained some insight." Yi Yun gave a vague explanation. Feng Lin was stunned upon hearing this. There was a sacred ground for learning the way of the saber and sword in the Tai Ah Divine City?

"What sacred ground of sabers and swords? It's just the saber tomb and the sword tomb!" At that moment, a Yun Long 72 Pagodas Elder transmitted his voice, using Yuan Qi, right into Feng Lin's ear.

This old man knew that the Tai Ah Divine City had two mystic grounds, named the saber tomb and the sword tomb.

Both of the tombs were treated as an absolute treasure by the Tai Ah Divine City. And this bunch of Tai Ah Divine City fellows guarded this place very carefully, believing that it was a remnant of a Great Emperor expert, calling it a sacred ground for swordsmen and saber users, despite not even being able to verify the tombs' history.

However, to the Yun Long Divine Kingdom Elders, this was all just intentional idealizing and bragging. Although they had never seen the sword and saber tomb, they knew that, over many years in the Tai Ah Divine City, many sages would constantly enter the tombs to gain insight into the sword and saber Dao, but weren't the sages that grasped something from the tombs still considered a bunch of weak trash?

In every generation of the Tai Ah Divine City, only the City Lord was worrisome.

Even if the tombs' grade was as described by the Tai Ah Divine City, taking 10,000 steps back, so what if it really was a remnant of a Great Emperor?

As people studied the sword tomb for tens of millions of years with no obvious results, how could a young junior, like Yi Yun, go in and come out with the ability to flip the heavens?

"Lin'er, this kid is just bluffing. Saying that his uncontrollable power will hurt you is just psychological warfare. If any sword move can be learned from the sword tomb, the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom would long since have exceeded the Yun Long Divine Kingdom. Would they then have gone around asking for help just just because of the fear of a Shepherd Boy?"

"You do not need to bother with it. Just go all out. Even if you kill Yi Yun, it is what he deserves. With us around you can rest assured. We are on the side of reason, so the Tai Ah Divine City will not dare to do anything to you."

The white-robed Elder who had transmitted his voice was half a teacher of Feng Lin. Feng Lin's water-elemental laws were all learned from this white-robed Elder.

"Lin'er understands. No matter how good Yi Yun's sword techniques are, I will do my best to use my sword attack."

Feng Lin did not despise Yi Yun. Her powerful stance was continuously rising. It was as if she had become a Jade Maiden mountain that could not be looked at.

In the Elder stands, Cang Yan's fingers were rapping on the table. His thin palm was oozing with sweat.

What is this kid doing. Does he really want to use a move he just learned from the sword tomb to face Feng Lin?

"Cang Yan, Yi Yun was learning the ways of the sword in the sword tomb?"

At that moment, the stern voice of the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord rang in Cang Yan's ear.

Cang Yan felt bitter. It was him who had brought Yi Yun into the tomb to learn the ways of the sword.

He bit down and said, "Yes, this kid had adamantly requested to enter the sword tomb a few days ago. Old me was originally thinking of bringing him down a peg or two and set some conditions, bringing him into the sword tomb, who knew that he would..."

"A few days ago… bringing him down a peg or two..." The middle-aged scholar repeated those words a few times. It was unknown what he was thinking.

Cang Yan was helpless. Yi Yun had a bright future ahead of him with sabers, yet he wanted to learn swords. He really was someone that made one worry.

And at that moment, Cang Yan had no time to explain any further. The 18 Feng Lins as well as Feng Lin's Aspect Totem raised their swords.

The sword beams were intertwined as they filled the sky. Seen from a distance, it was like an immense ocean. This ocean was a vast expanse of misty, shimmering, rolling waters.

The ocean was filled with a vast amounts of water.

People held their breaths. From the beginning of this match, Feng Lin's moves were all too shocking.

At that moment, Feng Lin struck. 18 sword beams, together with the Aspect Totem's sword, entered the vast ocean, giving rise to a huge wave. This wave was filled with killing intent. It was not a phantom image of Yuan Qi, but formed from sword Qi.

There was not only one wave. One wave followed another as each wave rose higher than the other. There were a total of 9 huge waves now surging right at Yi Yun like mountains.

Within the waves were terrifying sword Qi!

At that moment, the warriors below the Divine Wilderness Stage, especially those who were facing the surging wave, felt the sword Qi at their eyebrows. It made them feel frightened and distraught. Many people subconsciously moved backward.

One could tell how terrifying Feng Lin's sword attack was just from the sword Qi's prowess which was enough to force these favored children of the Heavens to retreat!

At that moment, Yi Yun, who was standing in front of the roaring ocean and huge waves, appeared small in size. He looked like a little boat in a storm, completely negligible.

Yi Yun held the Distinguished Light sword tightly. In Yi Yun's vision, time seemed to come to a stop. The huge, surging wave seemed to move extremely slow.

There he stood, silently in front of the huge wave. In his mind, the Pure Yang Sword Palace's huge sword scar became even clearer. It was as if he had actually seen the past scene of the Sword Palace's owner creating that scar with his very own eyes.

And that world destroying battle in the strange time-space. The bronze giant who was brandishing his halberd, ripping off a corner of the world, but still nearly had his head cut off by the Sword Palace's owner!

Yi Yun could not reproduce the Pure Yang Sword Palace's attack, but in this imagery, Yi Yun had managed to capture a trace of the sword attack's concept.

This conceptual trace slowly fused with the sword moves Yi Yun learned within the sword tomb.

Immediately, Yi Yun's mind seemed to be blessed. It was as if something had been activated as the concept and sword moves fused together.

He closed his eyes, ignoring the roar of the ocean. Without any conscious thought, Yi Yun raised his sword and gently slashed downwards!

At that moment, Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was pulled in. Everything began to condense into sword Qi. These sword Qi began roaring from all directions. In the sky, the phantom image of a huge divine sword began to condense!

This sword resembled the sword the Sword Palace owner once used! However, what Yi Yun was now using was a sword move from the sword tomb.

Only… Yi Yun had added an inexplicable concept into the sword tomb's move.

This was one of the Pure Yang Sword Palace sword scar's concepts. This concept seemed to be like a god having graced the lands, showing disdain at all life!

"Weng–

In the audience stands, the swords of some cultivators began to roar with a clear sound. Some of the swords even began to violently shake. Without the control of their owners, they even unsheathed themselves!

"My sword!"

A person quickly pressed and held onto his sword. The lower the cultivator’s cultivation level was, the greater the influence on their swords were!

In the air, Yi Yun slashed the huge divine sword that had been condensed downwards, right into the raging huge waves!

Strangely, this fierce impact was without sound. It was as if everything in the world had lost its voice.

The huge waves were split apart by that one sword. It was like a mountain having been split by a divine sword!

After the first huge wave was split apart, the divine sword did not lose its momentum. It was an irresistible force.

Wave after wave was split apart one after another. The divine sword slashed straight at Feng Lin's eyebrows!

"What!?"

Seeing the powerful sword Qi coming towards her, Feng Lin was in a shock. At that moment, she really felt the approach of death!

"Lin'er!"

At that moment, a white-robed Elder in the Elder stands stood up!

At the same time, Feng Lin pointed with her sword tip, and behind her, the 17 water-elemental mirror images, as well as her Aspect Totem, charged directly at the sword beam.

"Peng!"

With an fierce impact, the 17 water-elemental mirror images exploded, turning into water vapor before completely disappearing. Even Feng Lin's Aspect Totem was split apart by the sword beam.

Feng Lin's body violently shook as a sword scar appeared from Feng Lin's shoulder, going all the way down to her thigh. Her body flew out just like that!

While flying backward, Feng Lin could feel that her body had almost been torn apart by the sword Qi!

Having her body torn apart would no doubt mean her death!

And at that moment, she suddenly felt her body become light. A white-robed old man had appeared behind her like a ghost. This white-robed old man grabbed Feng Lin with one hand, and flicked his sleeve with the other!

"Peng!"

With a loud explosion, the huge phantom sword image formed from sword Qi was shattered by the white-robed Elder!

However, the shattered huge sword still formed into tiny pieces of sword Qi as the fragments spread out wantonly as they emitted "Chi Chi Chi" sounds. These sword Qi wandered around in the air for a long time...

"This sword Qi!"

The white-robed Elder focused his eyes. These sword Qi actually had a trace of an undying property.

Clearly his strength exceeded that of Yi Yun and could easily destroy the sword Qi instantaneously, but the destroyed sword Qi still remained lethal. It made people feel apprehension.

At that moment, Feng Lin, who had been saved by the white-robed Elder, was pale in the face.

There was a shocking wound on her body. It was almost as if her body had been cut open. If not for the white-robed old man suddenly appearing, Feng Lin would really have been killed by Yi Yun's sword attack. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

The entire audience turned silent upon seeing this scene.

Feng Lin's terrifying final attack, with 19 swords as one, was broken by Yi Yun? And it was broken in such an easy fashion?

Even Feng Lin herself nearly got killed by Yi Yun!

What attack was this? Wasn't it too terrifying?

Some Tai Ah Divine City Elders could tell that this attack was indeed a sword move from the sword tomb, but how did this sword tomb move gain such a powerful force to it?

"This attack… how could it be?"

The Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord found it fascinating. He could faintly feel that this attack was somehow different from the sword tomb's move.

He could not explain what this tiny difference was. Could it be something that Yi Yun had added?

As for Cang Yan, being the person who brought Yi Yun into the sword tomb, his expression was as if he had seen a ghost after seeing Yi Yun's final sword attack.

He still did not understand what had just happened.

"This kid… he..."

Cang Yan looked at Yi Yun with his eyelids twitching.

At that moment, Yi Yun's right hand, which wielded his sword, was completely covered in blood.

On his arm, one blood vessel after the other burst open and blood flowed out of them without stopping. It looked as if he had been fished out of a blood pool. It was shocking!

The hand which Yi Yun used to hold the sword was trembling. It looked as if he found it difficult to even hold the sword.

This sword attack had actually burst all the blood vessels in Yi Yun's right hand!

True Martial World - Chapter 331: The Sword Appears

The audience around the Divine Wilderness Stage were staring unblinkingly at the stage, afraid to miss any of the exciting scenes. The atmosphere in the entire arena seemed to freeze.

Especially the Tai Ah Divine City warriors, who were even more nervous. At that moment, only Yi Yun could fight for their Tai Ah Divine City.

And until now, the battle between Yi Yun and Feng Lin was a close call. It was hard to predict what the outcome of the battle would be.

"You really are impressive!" Feng Lin looked at Yi Yun and showed some appreciation of him, "Unfortunately… your cultivation level limits you, dooming you to fail in this battle!"

Before Yi Yun could respond to Feng Lin's speech, the Tai Ah Divine City warriors off-stage immediately roused up, "This Feng Lin sure can brag. Wasn't her eighteen chicks array or whatever broken by Yi Yun!?"

"Right, she couldn't even beat him with eighteen people. What's she so cocky about!?"

As Yi Yun had created a series of victories previously, many Tai Ah Divine City warriors had absolute confidence in Yi Yun. Although the outcome of the battle was currently not clear, they still hoped that Yi Yun would be able to create a miracle at the very last moment.

Some of the Tai Ah Divine City warriors were already standing up, jeering at Feng Lin. However, Feng Lin was not affected by it and simply turned a deaf ear.

Feng Lin continued, "Yi Yun, the accomplishments in your saber techniques is shocking. As for your understanding of the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', it far exceeds your peers. Unfortunately, your cultivation level has not broken into the Yuan Foundation realm, so you are lacking in Yuan Qi. Your struggle in gathering Yuan Qi could be seen when you were dealing with my Jade Maiden 18 Swords Array."

Feng Lin's words pointed Yi Yun's weakness out in the previous round. When Feng Lin attacked with 18 people, there was no gap in her offense, and the attack was like a relentless rain.

Yi Yun could handle the first wave of attacks, but the second wave would follow closely behind!

This meant that Yi Yun had no choice but to forcefully gather his Yuan Qi. This created extreme pressure on his body and meridians.

If Yi Yun was in the Yuan Foundation realm, the depth of his Yuan Qi would prevent that from happening.

Even the Tai Ah Divine City warriors had to admit that what Feng Lin said was true.

But so what if it was the truth, Yi Yun might still have hidden moves. At the final critical moment, he could conquer and secure victory!

In the audience stands, there were Tai Ah Divine City warriors beginning to shout words of encouragement to Yi Yun.

However, at that moment, Feng Lin grabbed the sword handle on the opened up sword case with a single hand.

"Oh? Could it be…"

Yi Yun's heart thumped. After Feng Lin's sword case was opened, there were 9 swords on both sides of it. All the hilts were pointing upwards, like that of an opened peacock's tail.

However, the fact of the matter was that right in the middle of the sword case was another sword hilt. Yi Yun had previously thought that the sword hilt was the handle to the sword case, but it did not seem so anymore.

"Clang!"

With a clear ring, Feng Lin pulled out a huge sword from the top of the sword case!

The sword's blade was 156 cm long, it was as wide as a palm, which meant that it was much larger than the other eighteen swords.

This heavy sword was more suited for a stout man. It looked quite jarring to see Feng Lin holding it.

"This nineteenth sword's name is the Angel Sword, and it is also my last sword…" Feng Lin said as she threw the sword into the air.

And at that moment, Feng Lin's body began glowing, as if countless pieces of silver was shimmering.

In this light, a light entity in the shape of a young girl appeared from within her. Her arms were covering her chest and her body was curled up. And on her back was a pair of wings.

"Pa!"

The girl spread out her wings and they spanned nearly three meters, covering Feng Lin completely.

The girl stood up from the light. She seemed to have hatched out from a cocoon. Finally, the "Angel Sword" floated in front of the girl.

She slowly grabbed the Angel Sword and pointed it at Yi Yun!

This winged girl was more than two meters in height. The huge sword suited her very well!

"Aspect Totem?"

Yi Yun constricted his pupils. From the beginning of the battle till now, Feng Lin had not conjured her Aspect Totem. Yi Yun never expected that Feng Lin's Aspect Totem was the shape of a girl. Looking at the girl, besides the wings behind her back, she looked identical to Feng Lin.

"Phew! Phew! Phew!"

With a soft sound, water-elemental mirror images began appearing beside Feng Lin!

A row of Feng Lins stood. And in the air, there was a winged girl totem.

"Nineteen swords!"

Seeing Feng Lin's Aspect Totem and her forceful stance, all the Tai Ah Divine City warriors who had previously cursed at Feng Lin immediately shut up.

Against such a Feng Lin, they too began to lack confidence.

"There's such an Aspect Totem?"

The Tai Ah Divine City warriors looked at each other. Amongst the Aspect Totems, they had seen beast-like ones the most. They had also seen Aspect Totems in the shape of weapons, such as sabers, swords, spears, and halberds.

However, it was very rare to see a humanoid Aspect Totem.

For a person's Aspect Totem to resemble themselves identically, and with another pair of wings was shocking. It was like the mythical legends of gods!

The winged girl had a listless expression. She seemed to ignore everything, including Yi Yun.

Her wings were gently flapping as a layer of hazy light covered her. The sword in her hand shone a cold beam that threatened one's soul!

"Yi Yun, he…" Wen Yu, Chu Xiaoran, and company, who were sitting in the participant benches, could not help but be worried. One could tell a warrior's strength from their forceful stance.

The current Feng Lin was as such.

The Tai Ah Divine City warriors were all silent. Those who were standing up began to sit back into their seats as they looked nervously at Yi Yun.

And opposing the Tai Ah Divine City audience was the Yun Long Divine Kingdom audience who started cheering. Many of them had never gotten the opportunity to see Feng Lin display her ultimate combat power.

In such a state, Feng Lin gave off the feeling of a fairy landing in the human realm.

"Breaking my Jade Maiden mirror-images was useless too. My Yuan Qi is thicker than yours. I can conjure an endless number of Jade Maiden mirror-images. As for your Yuan Qi, can you sustain it?"

Feng Lin's cold voice rang as she pointed the icy marked sword at Yi Yun.

A total of nineteen swords uniformly did the same!

Yi Yun's face turned serious at being pointed at by nineteen swords.

Feng Lin was indeed very strong. Yi Yun knew very clearly that with the powers that he had displayed, it was impossible to defeat Feng Lin.

Yi Yun was even considering if he should conjure his Aspect Totem.

At this stage, Yi Yun could no longer hide the fact that he had conjured a Golden Crow totem.

If he needed to explain to Cang Yan and company, it might be complicated, but it wasn't like he was unable to explain it away. As long as he retold the story of how he encountered a Golden Crow species fighting a pure Yang spirit in Fallen Star Gate and then used the protective charm Su Jie had given him, then he could explain how he killed the Golden Crow species. It was reasonable. The only thing that was incredulous was how he had managed to master the 'Myriad Beast Totem'.

Yi Yun's Aspect Totem may be powerful, but it had a problem, that was it expended too much Yuan Qi!

Feng Lin was right. Yi Yun's cultivation level was his weakness.

Yi Yun estimated that using his lacking Yuan Qi to support his Golden Crow totem only allowed him to use about one to two attacks.

After conjuring the Golden Crow totem, even if he defeated Feng Lin, Yi Yun would likely take days to recover his Yuan Qi.

But, this overall group competition was one where his opponents would fight him one by one.

Later on, Yi Yun still had to face the other opponents from the Yun Long 72 Pagodas, especially the youth in black. That youth's strength was extremely mysterious that made him worry.

In an extremely weak condition, it would be difficult for him to carry on fighting against the youth in black.

Yi Yun realized that it was extremely hard for him to win the overall group championship alone…

Regardless, he had to do the best he could. Everything else was left to providence.

"Yi Yun, now I will combine all my nineteen swords together. Let me warn you that, due to my present cultivation level and also it being recently learned, I am unable to control the strength of this move well once it is used. It might cost you your life. As a genius, there is no need to risk your life for an alliance tournament. It's still not too late to admit defeat now!"

With a sword in hand, Feng Lin looked elegant with her hair fluttering in the gentle wind!

Yi Yun looked at Feng Lin and took a deep breath. He touched his interspatial ring and a purple sword appeared in Yi Yun's hand.

Sword!?

Everyone in the audience was stunned seeing Yi Yun take out a sword. Wasn't Yi Yun a saber user? Why did he pull out a sword?

Yi Yun looked at the purple sword. Its blade was four feet long and emitted a cold shimmer.

Cang Yan had taken Yi Yun to the Tai Ah Divine City armory to choose this sword. It was one of the highest quality swords prepared for cultivators in the armory.

Its name was Distinguished Light. Even experts like Qin Haotian was unable to use the sword to its greatest capability.

"Indeed…" Yi Yun gently touched the sword blade and seemed to be speaking to himself. "There are some moves whose power is difficult to control. Although it is not a life and death match, it might still cause death. After all, in a final confrontation, when going all out, one cannot guarantee how much strength is used when using a move that you have not perfectly grasped…"

"You may have one, but so have I…" When Yi Yun said these words, the entire audience went into silence.

What did Yi Yun just say? "But so have I?"

By saying that, didn't he mean that he too had a move that he found it hard to control, that might even take the life of Feng Lin!?

Feng Lin was so strong, yet Yi Yun could actually take her life?

Could it be related to this sword?

Is that really true?

Yi Yun had always used a saber, so this made people find it hard to believe that he could have a more powerful move using a sword. After all, since ancient times, warriors would usually specialize in one weapon. In the history they knew, it was extremely rare for a person to train in both sword and saber!

"You have used a sword before?" Feng Lin's eyebrows frowned slightly as she looked suspiciously at Yi Yun. Before, she had some information on Yi Yun. In the Tai Ah Divine City, his weapon had always been a long saber.

"I've never used it in the past, but now I have to use it. I have a vague understanding of this sword attack. I too am not confident I can use this attack to its full extent. And you will be my first opponent to face my sword attack!"

After Yi Yun said this, Feng Lin's eyebrows knitted even closer.

The Legend of Futian - Chapter 70: Nine Heavenly Attacks

Ye Futian looked at the girl up above. She looked back at him.

My name is Donghuang. Ye Futian even felt like that sentence was spoken to him instead of Minister Zuo.

Boundless icy winds blew through, causing flurries of snow that fell from the sky. An indescribable coldness descended into the world. Everyone looked over at the towering mountain's vastness. They saw the Snow Ape look up the vault of heaven. It was sealed in ice with him as the center. The entire world was frozen.

"Child, look carefully." A voice floated into Ye Futian's ear. Then he saw a shadow appear inside the Snow Ape's body. It came straight out of the flesh. The endless ice and snow converged into a giant snow staff that the Snow Ape grasped.

"Nine Heavenly Attacks." The Snow Ape stood up, almost becoming one with the sky and earth. That moment, incredible power converged above the shadow. His body was so stable. Finally, the Snow Ape's large shadow moved. The first hit gathered the power of the world and slammed against the atrium. The air seemed to be sliced apart and the frozen world was cut into two.

Endless wind and snow blocked everyone's vision except Ye Futian. The Snow Ape did not hit anyone. He was just teaching Ye Futian. It was the Freedom Meditation. Even though Ye Futian was sad, he knew that the Snow Ape was using his life to teach. This staff technique was the evolved by Emperor Ye Qing when he created war techniques. Now, the Snow Ape was demonstrating it personally.

After the first hit, the power intensified rather than weakening. When the snow staff was swung again, the power of the first hit seemed to meld into the second and sweep everything. Then the third hit, the fourth… Every hit's power seemed to be multiplying. By the eighth hit, the world was shaking, the mountains were trembling, and the earth had cracked open. The Snow Ape's location had turned into the world's most terrifying windstorm.

"The ninth hit," a voice said in Ye Futian's ear. Then he saw the Snow Ape go toward the atrium. The snow staff swung and countless shadows of the staff appeared, flattening the sky.

After that, Ye Futian could not see clearly anymore. Blinding light shone from above the atrium. It covered everything. The entire Mount Tianyao shook. The demons all knelt on the ground.

An invisible power crashed into Minister Zuo and Ye Futian. They flew backward but something was protecting Ye Futian. He was not fatally hurt but there was pain everywhere.

This windstorm lasted a long time because calming down. It began to snow in Mount Tianyao. White snow continued to float down. Ye Futian stood there, gaping. The Snow Ape's shadow had disappeared. All that remained was the giant flesh body standing there. It was lifeless but it still stood up straight and tall.

He was standing even in death.

In the canyon behind him, Emperor Ye Qing's statue was still undamaged. It was as if the Snow Ape had defended the statue to his death. Ye Futian reached out. A snowflake landed in his palm.

"Child, do not be sad. This was destined. I should have gone with my master long ago but I had to wait for someone. Thankfully, I met you all. I am just sad I cannot see you rule the world with my own eyes." There seemed to be a shred of consciousness remaining in the air. It transformed into a voice that floated into Ye Futian's ear. At the corner of his eye was a tear.

Was this really all fate? The Snow Ape knew the ending but he still remained here, guarding it.

The divine general went toward Emperor Ye Qing's statue to find something but they could not find anything.

A figure radiated and the girl in the air said, "Let his last statue remain."

The divine general still shone. The terrible light fell upon the statue, flattening it to the ground. The statue that the Snow Ape had protected with his life had still fallen.

"Princess, you should not have sympathy," the general said, retracting his light.

The girl looked at him coldly and turned around. The people left with her. When she left, she looked down. Her gaze fell on Ye Futian and then moved away. Her figure disappeared in the horizon.

When they left, Ye Futian collapsed too. Something had been supporting him before but those violent shakes had even hurt Minister Zuo, let alone him. Before, he had forced himself to stand up and witness it all. Minister Zuo coughed out blood. He could not recover quickly. Everything that had happened was indescribable. He did not even see clearly how the Snow Ape had died.

Walking to Ye Futian, he looked at the youth's calm face with a bit of gratitude. If not for Ye Futian, the Snow Ape would have killed him. He could feel the murderous intent. But Ye Futian was only a boy. How could he be so calm when faced with all this? He did not even kneel down.

The girl from the sky had the surname Donghuang. Even the emperor of Nandou would have to kneel. Their statuses were too different. However, the youth had still been standing up straight. It was not because he was dumb from shock but arrogance from his bones.

At that moment, Minister Zuo had the illusion that the boy before him was as high and mighty as the girl from the sky. His eyes flashed. Then he sat down beside Ye Futian. His life spirit appeared. It was a life chart.

The Minister of Nandou was a rarely-seen astrologer. Few people knew this secret. Astrologers usually did not live long because they knew too much. The light of the life chart enveloped Ye Futian. The gears moved without stop and sped up.

"What's going on?" Minister Zuo's expression changed. He stared at the uncontrollable life chart in shock. It spun crazily with noise until it finally slowed down.

Minister Zuo stared at the chart. The needle spun until it pointed upward. It seemed to point at the sky. The Minister collapsed onto the ground. Looking at the life chart, his heart twitched.

This was impossible. How was this possible?

Shouldn't it be the girl in the sky? Her surname was Donghuang.

Why did Ye Futian have this fate? The fortune showed that he would meet someone, but who was it?

In disbelief, Minister Zuo continued to activate the life chart. After several attempts, he was sweating. He sat beside Ye Futian and stared at the sleeping youth.

Would Nandou Nation's fate change because of him?

...…

When Ye Futian woke up, he saw Minister Zuo beside him. The man smiled. "You're awake."

"Senior," Ye Futian greeted. He sat up.

"You saved my life so you shouldn't call me 'senior' anymore. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Zuo," Minister Zuo said with a smile. He felt guilty inside. As the minister, he had taken advantage of the boy without him realizing.

"Uncle Zuo." Ye Futian was not very straightforward. Becoming close to the minister of Nandou would be good for him when he returned to Donghai City.

"Yes." Minister Zuo nodded. "How are your injuries?"

"No big deal." Ye Futian looked back. He was sad when he saw the statue-like body. "Uncle Zuo," he said, "I want to stay here for a while. You can go back first."

Minister Zuo shook his head. "The demons have been chased away but they might come back. It's too dangerous. Why don't I stay here with you?"

"But…" Ye Futian wanted to continue but Minister Zuo interrupted, "You're calling me uncle already. We're not strangers. Go do what you want to do. I'll just cultivate here."

"Okay." Ye Futian nodded and stopped talking. He got up and walked toward the Snow Ape's body. There, he kept standing but he looked up to the heavens.

"Senior, I can't take revenge for you now so I'll just accompany you for a while." Ye Futian's voice was sad. He sat by the Snow Ape's body. The Guqin Spirit appeared and descended before him. Ye Futian started playing right there. A gloomy melody sounded as if in farewell.

After the tune, Ye Futian started cultivating. The Snow Ape had taught him the Nine Heavenly Attacks before dying. Cultivating here was like the last comfort to the Snow Ape's spirit.

The days passed. Without realizing, months had passed noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Nine Heavenly Attacks was extremely difficult. When Ye Futian learned the third hit, both his martial arts and sorcery cultivation had reached the Five-star Glory Plane. That day, Ye Futian knelt before the Snow Ape's body. He kowtowed three times before standing up and turning around. He never looked back.

"Uncle Zuo, let's go back," Ye Futian said to Minister Zuo, who was cultivating with his eyes closed.

The man opened his eyes and nodded. "Okay." With that, he and Ye Futian flew into the sky. They left Mount Tianyao. Ye Futian's recent actions had been odd but he did not ask.

Once out of Mount Tianyao, they were close to Qingzhou Academy. Minister Zuo's men were waiting there. Seeing Minister Zuo return, they let out sighs of relief and went to greet him.

"Where's the princess?" Minister Zuo asked.

"They were living in Qingzhou Academy while you weren't here," someone said.

"That girl has probably caused a ruckus," Minister Zuo said. He walked forward and they all went toward Qingzhou Academy.

The red-clothed girl was the princess of Nandou. She was now living in the School of Martial Arts. Many people where there right now. When Ye Futian walked in, he saw Qin Yi. Surprised, he called, "Ms. Qin."

"Futian!" Qin Yi was surprised when she saw Ye Futian.

"I wanted to go find you. Why are you here?" Ye Futian asked. Hearing this, Qin Yi lowered her head slightly.

"Professor, you're back. The servants here don't know how to take care of people. I can finally go back now." The girl walked by. Many big figures of the School of Martial Arts were present.

They all froze when they saw Ye Futian but Ye Futian's eyes turned cold.

Servant?

The Legend of Futian - Chapter 69: My Family Name Is Donghuang

When Ye Futian at the entrance of Donghai Academy, Minister Zuo was already waiting for him.

When the young woman saw Ye Futian, she said, "Let's have another battle."

Ye Futian was speechless. He wondered it this girl liked being defeated.

"No," he answered. Ye Futian glanced at the young woman.

"What is that look supposed to mean?" Seeing the way Ye Futian looked at her made her mad.

"If we fight again, I'm afraid you might cry," said Ye Futian. He was determined never to battle with a female ever again.

"You…" the young woman pointed at him.

"Alright, missy. Let's go, weren't you the one who begged to tag along?" Minister Zuo did not know what to do with the little princess.

"Just you wait, Ye Futian." She then turned to the Minister Zuo. "Master, I want him to be my guard."

"I..." Ye Futian was dumbfounded. He looked to Minister Zuo. "Senior." She couldn't do this, could she?

"Stop fooling around." The Minister Zuo looked at the young woman once and then gave out his order, "Let's go!" The large group riding on creatures began their journey, heading in the direction of the East Sea.

"I don't care. Master, didn't you say his innate powers were good and that he was gifted? Then he would be perfect as my guard. He can also battle me time to time to help me gain combat experience," the young woman whined to the Minister Zuo. Ye Futian stared in shock. What did she take him for?

"Then you'll have to ask Ye Futian to see if he'll agree," said Minister Zuo. Ye Futian thanked the Minister Zuo silently.

The young woman looked towards Ye Futian and said, "You're better off by my side than you are at Donghai Academy."

"No." Ye Futian remembered what Hua Jieyu made him promise and rejected her firmly. "I really do have a girlfriend."

"You!" The young woman seemed to be adjusting to Ye Futian's shameless antics because she suddenly smiled. With a beautiful smile, she faced Ye Futian and asked, "Is your girlfriend really as pretty as I am?"

Ye Futian saw her smile and did not know what to say. How could her expression change so abruptly? She was trying to get her way through the means of seduction. However, Ye Futian thought it was wasted effort because he was an honest man.

However, he couldn't believe that she remembered what he said yesterday. When it came to appearances, women were indeed...

"You are very beautiful, but my girlfriend is even more so," Ye Futian said with a serious look on his face. The young woman's smile disappeared in an instant and she snickered at Ye Futian, "Who would believe you?" She seemed to know that there was no hope and refused to look at Ye Futian.

That self-confidence, Ye Futian thought to himself, if this girl met Hua Jieyu, then she would not be so confident.

At the thought of Hua Jieyu, a smile crept on his face. Ye Futian closed his eyes and enjoyed the gentle blowing of the wind in silence.

Quickly, the group made it past the city and arrived at the East Sea. In the vast sea, the wind blew and ships sailed. The group did not stall for too long before they were on their way again, this time headed for Qingzhou Academy. Several hours later, from the skies over the East Sea, an island came into view.

Ye Futian stood on top of the beast he was previously riding on and looked at the nearing island. He had no idea he would be back so soon. It did not seem like that long ago that he left the island city. So many thoughts floated through his mind. Was Senior Sister Qin Yi doing alright? Was General Qin Shuai doing better? Did Feng Qingxue miss him? Probably. He smiled at the thought of being back home.

Finally, the beasts were flying right above the island. They did not stop but continued in the direction of Qingzhou Academy.

BOOM! At this very moment, a loud sound came from the ground. Ye Futian and everyone were concerned as they looked down. They saw the ground shake, as if an earthquake or a tsunami was about to dawn upon the city.

"What's going on?" Minister Zuo's eyes flickered and the beasts continued to advance. A moment later, the loud rumbling resumed and the ground was shaking once again. The citizens of Qingzhou City were in a frenzy. The stronger people ascended into mid-air while the weaker people were running on the streets. Everyone was in shock.

BOOM! The ground was still shaking without a pattern. As they got deeper into the city, the shaking got more violent. Even when the monster tide occurred, it did not affect the areas this far way. Right not, it seemed like the entire island was being affected. It was originating from the direction of Qingzhou Academy.

What on earth was going on? Ye Futian's heart was pounding. Even though he was not able to become an official disciple of Qingzhou Academy, he still had a sentimental attachment to this place. He did not wish for anything to happen to the academy.

The beasts sped up and charged forward. Not long after, they arrived at Qingzhou Academy.

Right now, the whole area was shaking non-stop. Some buildings had already fallen. The teachers and students were all looking in the direction of Mount Tianyao. Their hearts in a frenzy. There seemed to be an ultimate battle taking place in Mount Tianyao.

Mount Tianyao. It's Senior Snow Ape! thought Ye Futian. His expression changed. The shaking was coming from Mount Tianyao. There could only be one thing that would lead to such strong vibrations through the ground, and that was a huge battle between the Snow Ape and some unknown people.

The Snow Ape's powers were unimaginably strong. He may very well be second in power after Emperor Ye Qing. Ye Futian was unsure of exactly how powerful he was, but to be able to battle with the Snow Ape, it was most likely a fearsome opponent. It was hard for Ye Futian not to worry.

"Seems like someone got here before I could," said Minister Zuo. The group stood between area between Qingzhou Academy and Mount Tianyao. People who went ahead to test the waters came back to report their findings. They greeted the minister with a bow. "Minister Zuo, things are not good!"

"Do you know who it is?" Minister Zuo asked.

"It's not possible for a person so powerful to exist in Nandou Nation." The reporting person shook his head. Minister Zuo contemplated for a while and said, "All of you stay here, I'll go take a look."

Obviously, everything they had previously prepared was now useless. The plans had been spoiled. An extremely powerful individual got wind of the news and came to Qingzhou City.

"Senior, can you take me with you?" asked Ye Futian.

"Your abilities are still too weak. It will be dangerous," said Minister Zuo.

"That's okay. I want to take a look at what's going on." Ye Futian was determined.

"I cannot promise your absolute safety," Minister Zuo spoke again. Ye Futian nodded and the two of them made their way into Mount Tianyao.

The vibrations of the ground were even stronger now that they were closer to the mountains. Demons and monsters ran frantically in every direction. With Minister Zuo's powers, none of the demons or monsters dared to stand in his way. Finally, they reached the epicenter of the vibrations. One look at the scene ahead and the powerful minister began to shudder, not able to calm down.

"Senior." Ye Futian clenched his fist. His body was shaking. His eyes were filled with a wild flame and all the veins on his arms were visible.

Up ahead, was an enormous Snow Ape, taller than the mountains. Compared to when Ye Futian had met him before, the Snow Ape was much larger now. His head was in the clouds. His enormous body stood in the midst of a storm, but he remained standing steadily like the mountains. A golden chain was locked around the Snow Ape's body. The light coming from the chain was shining brighter than the sun. The chain seemed to have come from the heavens, creating a link between Heaven and Earth.

The Snow Ape reached out his hands, filled with immense power. However, the Snow Ape's snow-white fur was covered in blood. He was bleeding from wounds all over his body. He looked up at the figures in the sky unyieldingly. Ye Futian also looked up at the sky with his blood-shot eyes.

Up in the skies, stood a group of people. They were spread out in the air. A light shone from each of their bodies. This light enveloped them like a divine armor and the people looked domineering, like the gods in Heaven. Standing above them, were two more people. They were quiet.

One of the two was dressed in a robe of sorts. She was dazzling, elegant, and holy like a celestial fairy. She did not look too old, maybe about Ye Futian's age. Even though she was young, her aura was outstanding. It was almost as if she was born superior to others.

She looked very content. Beside her stood a figure that seemed like a divine general. His force field covered her as if to protect her. Compared with Minister Zuo's disciple, the girl won in regards of elegance and looks.

Perhaps, even if the goddess-like Hua Jieyu were here, she would not be able to overshadow this girl. The two girls were on a similar level in terms of looks, but when it came to elegance, not even Hua Jieyu could beat her. If Hua Jieyu was compared to a descended goddess, then this girl was a celestial fairy straight from the heavens.

It was almost as if the Snow Ape could sense Ye Futian's arrival. He looked over in Ye Futian's direction and seemed to have mistaken the situation. The Snow Ape looked at Minister Zuo with blood-red eyes, conveying his intent to kill.

A loud growl sounded. The world seemed to have become frozen and covered in snow. Along with the clanging of chains, the Snow Ape charged at Minister Zuo, lifting his arms, preparing to attack. Minister Zuo's face paled. He could feel his body slowly being sealed by the ice.

"Senior!" Ye Futian jumped in front of Minister Zuo. He realized that the Snow Ape must have mistakenly thought that Minister Zuo was holding him against his will.

The Snow Ape struck the two with his hand causing Minister Zuo and Ye Futian to land far away with a loud crash. The chain rattled again, but this time, to pull him back.

Minister Zuo and Ye Futian picked themselves up off the ground. At this moment, they noticed that the group in the sky were looking down at them. The divine general-like figure spoke to them, "Kneel." His voice was domineering, superior, and arrogant.

"Greetings, I am a prime minister of Nandou Nation. May I ask who you guys are?" asked Minister Zuo. He joined his hands together in a salute.

The fairy-like female looked down at them and replied, "My family name is Donghuang."

Minister Zuo's knees hit the ground and he bowed his head to the floor. This was not only because the opposing side was power, but also because of their identity.

Her surname was Donghuang.

The prophecy has been fulfilled, Minister Zuo thought to himself. A shiver ran down his back. The reason he was willing to risk coming here was because he told his own fortune. The prophecy said that this journey will not be dangerous. On the contrary, he would meet a person fated to become emperor. Never would Minister Zuo have imagined, by being fated to become emperor, it did not mean the emperor of the Nandou Nation—it meant the emperor of the Divine Prefectures.

Ye Futian did not kneel down. In the storm, he looked up to the sky. He stood up straight and, in this moment, he was calmer than ever before. He met eyes with the air in the sky. The look they shared was a look of destiny.

The Legend of Futian - Chapter 68: Murderous

Hua Jieyu's appearance instantly created a gust of wind in Donghai Academy. Rumors about her relationship with Mu Yunxuan had abounded recently. They even said that Mu Yunxuan had said it himself, and no one from the School of the Emperor Star refuted it so everyone thought it was real.But today, this world-class beauty personally walked from the School of the Emperor Star to announce to everyone in Donghai Academy that this wasn't real. She had someone she liked but it wasn't Mu Yunxuan. Mu Yunxuan couldn't be compared to the person she liked.

You can imagine the uproar to Hua Jieyu's words, the most beautiful girl of Donghai Academy. It was like a slap to Mu Yunxuan, the talent of the School of the Emperor Star. There was no dignity left for him. Perhaps Hua Jieyu really was mad because these rumors could hurt the person she truly liked.

The people of Donghai Academy could imagine Mu Yunxuan's feelings now. But compared to that, they were more curious about the one Hua Jieyu liked.

Who was the one that could make Hua Jieyu so beautiful when talking about him? Who was the one that Mu Yunxuan wasn't even good enough to be compared to? Did someone like this really exist in Donghai Academy? After all, Mu Yunxuan was the genius prodigy of the School of the Emperor Star.

At that moment, the one Hua Jieyu spoke of was practicing his guqin in the School. He was immersed in it from day to night. His grandmaster was definitely a master of the guqin arts. His attainment was at the peak. Even Hua Fengliu couldn't be compared to him. He could use music notes to cast spells from other schools, resonating musical spells with others. It could create even more explosive power and was clearly deeper than what he had taught Hua Fengliu. The man hadn't learned these.

The night sky was as dark as ink. Under the bright moon, the School of the Emperor Star looked even more majestic. Music streamed from a pavilion. The youth sat on a stone bench and played the qin. A beautiful girl sat beside him, listening to the melody. Under the moonlit sky, this scene was so beautiful and peaceful.

After a while, the music came to a stop. The youth gazed at the girl and said gently, "Fox, time to rest."

"No, I want to stay here with you." Hua Jieyu's eyes were as gentle as water. She smiled and shook her head.

"Then I'll go rest with you," Ye Futian said.

"No way." Hua Jieyu smiled. What was this bad guy thinking now?

"Huh, you're still not my girl," Ye Futian said, hurt.

"That trick doesn't work." Hua Jieyu smiled. He always pretended to be pitiful.

Despite her words, she leaned against Ye Futian and slowly lied down into his lap. The arrogant and fairy-like girl at the Donghai Academy during the day had now become a girl in love. She was so gentle.

"It seems to work." Ye Futian looked at the pretty girl in his lap. He caressed her hair and dipped his head. He pecked her forehead. His eyes were filled with softness. Hua Jieyu smiled sweetly. With her head on Ye Futian's thighs, she murmured, "Don't mess around. Keep practicing and I'll rest here."

Ye Futian gave Hua Jieyu puppy eyes. "Fox, do you think I can practice with you here?"

"I don't care. Let me sleep for a bit." Hua Jieyu looked smug as she closed her eyes.

"Oh, you sly fox." Ye Futian felt tragic but he started practicing again.

If anyone in Donghai Academy knew that Ye Futian felt sad now, they'd probably slap him to death.

The music was peaceful and Hua Jieyu actually fell asleep quickly. Ye Futian looked down at the girl. Her eyelashes were long and pretty. A smile still hung on her face as she slept. It was sweet and beautiful. Seeing the sleeping beauty, Ye Futian smiled too. He murmured, "Fox, you suck." Then he raised his head and kept playing noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

The music continued from night to day. During the night, Ye Futian felt his energy changing. A slight smile appeared on his face. He had been frustrated all these days due to the rumors but last night, he had felt more peaceful than ever before. With the music notes, he had a mental breakthrough without realizing. This way, he was at the Four-star Glory Plane for both martial arts and sorcery.

A cough broke the early morning peace. Ye Futian saw the old man walk over. He smiled trembled. Hua Jieyu's eyes opened and she got up, pink tinging her cheeks.

"Grandmaster," Hua Jieyu called with her head lowered. There was some embarrassment in her voice.

"Must be nice to be young." The old man smiled at the two before him. They were like a perfect pair. He could feel the pure feelings just seeing them. "I hope you will be in love like this forever." He gave his blessing with a smile.

Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu exchanged glances. Both of them had smiling eyes.

"Grandmaster, we will," Ye Futian said.

"You can't slack on your cultivation though," the elder said. Ye Futian smiled and nodded. He continued practicing. Hua Jieyu stayed there and cultivated too.

"Han Mo is here to greet his senior." A voice came from outside.

The elder's smile faded. He said indifferently, "Come in." As soon as he finished, a few figures walked in. The first was the Emperor Star elder Ye Futian had seen before.

"How have you been?" Han Mo asked with a smile.

"Can I help you?" Elder Qin asked.

"There is nothing much but I heard that Ye Futian was practicing here, so I came to take a look," Han Mo said. His gaze fell on Ye Futian. "I told you last time that you can come to the School of the Emperor Star. Why didn't you tell me after you came?"

"I came with Headmaster Yi. I am sorry for not notifying you," Ye Futian said politely.

"It is alright. Since you are practicing with my senior, why don't you join this school?" Han Mo's smile remained.

Ye Futian shook his head wryly. "You are joking again. I have already joined the School of the Finance Star. If I join the Emperor Star, I would be betraying the Finance Star. Do you accept disciples like that?"

"That is true." The old man nodded and said, "Since you are not joining then, according to the rules, you cannot stay here for long."

Hearing his words, something flashed through Ye Futian's eyes. He looked at the man's smile and Mu Yunxuan behind him. He obviously knew that Han Mo was planning something. The one who reminded him at the Luo palace was obviously not Han Mo.

"You have problems with the fact that I am keeping him here to practice?" Elder Qin's muddled eyes grew sharp. His entire aura seemed to change. His robe fluttered and his white hair flew in the wind.

Han Mo bowed. "Senior, please do not be angry. I was just saying but I will leave now." With that, he really turned to leave. At the same time, he said, "Yunxuan, apologize to Jieyu."

"Yes." Mu Yunxuan walked up and said to Hua Jieyu, "The rumors affected you negatively. Please do not mind them."

"Get out," Hua Jieyu uttered, staring at Mu Yunxuan coldly.

Mu Yunxuan's face stiffened. His handsome face became embarrassed. It was one thing for Hua Jieyu to declare the rumors unfounded yesterday at Donghai Academy. It did not affect Mu Yunxuan too much. But Hua Jieyu did not spare any dignity for him. She told everyone that he could not even be compared to who she liked. Everyone was discussing him as if he was a clown. And now, Hua Jieyu also told him to get out so mercilessly.

Seeing Ye Futian beside her, Mu Yunxuan realized that this boy was the one she liked.

"Yesterday, Jieyu said that I can't be compared to you. I cannot disturb your master today but in the future, I hope we can have some exchanges," Mu Yunxuan said to Ye Futian, still polite.

Ye Futian did not know what had happened yesterday but he could guess from Mu Yunxuan's words. After deciding to stay in this school and Hua Jieyu no longer had to avoid him, she probably personally revealed the truth. Thinking of this, Ye Futian smiled gently at Hua Jieyu. He took her hands and glanced at Mu Yunxuan, giving a strong response to what Mu Yunxuan had said earlier.

Seeing this, Mu Yunxuan's expression grew more uncomfortable.

"Get out," Ye Futian said the same two words as Hua Jieyu. Even though he was told to do so by the School of the Emperor Star, Ye Futian could not tolerate Mu Yunxuan saying he was dating Hua Jieyu.

Sensing Hua Jieyu's reliance on him, Ye Futian knew that this event had hurt her. She had become sensitive and weak. He needed to make Mu Yunxuan pay.

"Sorry for the disturbance." Mu Yunxuan bowed toward Elder Qin and glanced at Ye Futian coldly. His fists clenched loosely. He turned and walked out to catch up with Han Mo.

Han Mo's face was dark too. He said coldly, "Nandou brought her here to cultivate but it seems like nothing will come out of it. If that's the case, what use does she have regardless of her talents?"

"Professor, that Ye Futian will be troublesome in the future too," Mu Yunxuan said.

"Him?" Han Mo sneered. "Youths who don't know how to lie low will die easily. The School of the Finance Star can't protect him for long."

Hearing those words, a cold murderous glint flashed past Mu Yunxuan's eyes!

...…

Days later, Yi Xiang came to the School of the Emperor Star to pick him up. Minister Zuo had sent people over and was preparing to travel to Qingzhou City.

In the yard, Yi Xiang walked forward. He floated in the air and his hands were behind his back. Behind him, Ye Futian said to Hua Jieyu, "Qingzhou isn't far from Donghai. With Minister Zuo's demon, it'll only take one day. I'll be back soon. Don't worry."

"Okay, I'll wait for you," Hua Jieyu said gently. She would wait no matter how long it took.

"Fox, I'm leaving." Ye Futian's eyes were unwilling but he left with Yi Xiang. Hua Jieyu watched his back. She did not turn to go cultivate until he was completely gone!

The Legend of Futian - Chapter 67: Mu Yunxuan is Not Worthy

Ye Futian looked down at Hua Jieyu's delicate features, especially her luscious red lips. His heart was beating like crazy. To reciprocate her gesture, he reached out his arms around her waist. Then, he lowered his lips until they met hers. They were both a little awkward at this. Some time later, they separated.

Hua Jieyu bit her lip, her crystal-clear eyes were enchanting. "I'm yours now, so you have to take responsibility for me," Hua Jieyu said to Ye Futian as she gazed into his eyes.

"Uh..." Ye Futian blinked.

"What do you mean by that? Are you trying to refuse?" she glared at him.

Ye Futian's heart skipped a beat looking at her angry face. He said, "Since you're mine, then let's have another go at it." After he finished his words, he pulled Hua Jieyu close and they were immersed in each other once again. Hua Jieyu's eyes closed, her face redder than before, but she felt warm in her heart. This time as well, they took a while to separate from each other.

Hua Jieyu looked at Ye Futian with a bit of resentment. Suddenly, she asked, "Can you not go?"

"Not go?" Ye Futian was confused.

"That girl from yesterday," said Hua Jieyu. Ye Futian froze for a moment, then chuckled as he looked at his girlfriend. She was jealous.

"Minister Zuo's orders. I can't reject," he said.

"Then you have to promise not to fall for her, even if she tries to seduce you," Hua Jieyu told him. Ye Futian was speechless. He never knew women could be so jealous. But it warmed his heart.

"She looks nowhere as good as good as my Fox. Why would I fall for her?" he asked.

Hua Jieyu felt proud, but continued to say, "Even if she did look better than me you can't fall for her!"

"Alright, I only like you," Ye Futian nodded.

Only then did Hua Jieyu let out a satisfied smile. Her smile was so bright and beautiful. Ye Futian fell for her all over again. After being seduced today, he has lost all his will-power against her.

"I know you're always thinking of father, but can't you save revenge for after you become stronger and more powerful? I don't want to see you in danger," she said.

"I'm fine now, aren't I?" Ye Futian knew she was talking about what happened at the Luo Palace.

"I think they know about our relationship," Hua Jieyu sounded very down. She was worried that they would try to harm Ye Futian.

"They were going to find out sooner or later, but how dare they create all those false rumors. I just want to tell the whole world that you're mine," said Ye Futian.

"Gloater." Hua Jieyu stared charmingly at Ye Futian. "Will you marry me in the future?"

"Of course! I already said, you belong to me," answered Ye Futian.

"Then I'll wait for you." Hua Jieyu smiled gently and said, "Promise that you'll never give up no matter how hard it gets."

"I promise." He nodded. "Why don't we do want Master and Mistress did? Let's jump the gun and do what can't be undone."

Hua Jieyu's face paled then reddened. She stared at Ye Futian timidly, and laughed lightly. "You wish."

"With you acting like this, it's hard to resist." Ye Futian sighed. The two of them were still in a tight embrace. Hua Jieyu blinked a couple of times then let go. "You got lucky today. Headmaster Yi Xiang is still waiting for you. Let's go meet the grandmaster."

"Okay." Ye Futian looked at the captivating young woman in front of his eyes and thought to himself, There's tons of time in the future.

The couple stepped out of the room and were walking shoulder to shoulder when Hua Jieyu warned him again. "Don't forget, no flirting with other girls!"

"I got it," replied Ye Futian. How worried was she?

"And also, be careful for your safety. If something happens to you, I'm marrying someone else. You have to think about this carefully," she said.

"How can you do this to me?" Ye Futian was speechless. He never thought she would threaten him like this.

"Why can't I?" Hua Jieyu looked smug. She then said, "This way, you'll know to cherish yourself."

"I got it, I got it. Before we do the deed that can't be undone, I won't let myself die," said Ye Futian. Hua Jieyu reached for his waist and pinched down hard.

The two of them reached a courtyard. In the courtyard, Yi Xiang was chatting with an elderly man. The elder had a full head of white hair, which made him look very old, but while he chatted with Yi Xiang, one could tell from his smile and his eyes that he was kind.

Ye Futian approached the elder and bowed. "Greetings, Grandmaster."

The elderly man looked up at Ye Futian, and said in a friendly tone, "Hua Jieyu has told me about you. Here, come sit."

"Okay." Ye Futian nodded and sat down next to the elderly man.

"Hua Jieyu told me that she didn't manage to learn any of her father's guqin skills because they were all passed down to you. Is that true?" the elder asked Ye Futian.

"Yes. Master has taught me many musical spells," said Ye Futian.

"Come and play a random song for me," said the elder. Next to him was a guqin.

Ye Futian walked over to sit down behind the guqin, and the aura around him changed as soon as he laid his fingers on the instrument. The peaceful sounds of the guqin flooded the courtyard. It was quiet and peaceful, seemingly able to calm one's heart. There were no other sounds in the courtyard aside from the guqin. The mood that it set up enabled all worries to be tossed to the back of one's mind.

Ye Futian finished the piece and the courtyard remained quiet. The elder gave Ye Futian a smile as he reminisced about the past. The way he looked at Ye Futian was even friendlier than before.

"Hua Jieyu told me that it hasn't even been a full year since you learned to play the guqin from Hua Fengliu. You are even more gifted than he was. However, Yi Xiang says that your Life Spirit is a Golden Roc, but at the Luo Palace you used musical sorcery. Could it be that the Spirit element is hidden within this Life Spirit?"

Ye Futian looked at Yi Xiang and Hua Jieyu. Yi Xiang seemed to understand what Ye Futian's gaze meant, and said, "Elder Qin sacrificed a lot for your master in the past. He spent all his time exploring the way of the guqin and is a true master of the guqin. He gave everything he had to teach your master, but in the end..." Yi Xiang did not continue but Ye Futian understood.

"Grandmaster is not like the other people in the School of the Emperor Star," said Hua Jieyu.

Ye Futian nodded lightly. Looking into the elder's kind eyes, a bright light radiated from Ye Futian's body, and a guqin appeared in the air behind him, then slowly disappeared.

"Twin spirits," said Yi Xiang. He shuddered. When he heard that Ye Futian had crashed the celebration at the Luo Palace and fought with musical sorcery, he knew immediately that Ye Futian had an extraordinary gift. He seemed to be good at everything, regardless it be Spirit Elemental or martial arts and sorcery, but seeing the twin spirits, he still could not help but feel shocked.

"Good, very good! Hua Fengliu picked a good disciple." The elder's voice deepened and he said, "I can't believe that at my old age, just before I die, I am able to pass down the torch. Yi Xiang, I would like to keep Ye Futian here with me for a few days. You wouldn't mind, right?"

"Not at all," answered Yi Xiang. He turned to Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu, "I'm afraid if I leave alone, the people of the School of the Emperor Star will take notice. They're already suspicious of your relationship. This will only strengthen their suspicions."

"If you guessed it, then they probably have as well. They're not stupid. They even spread false rumors to test us. They're going to find out anyway, so just let it be." Ye Futian looked to Hua Jieyu and told her, "One day, I'll make sure all of Donghai Academy knows."

"If you're willing to take the risk, then I don't have anything to say. Elder Qin, I am just disturbing you guys," said Yi Xiang.

Ye Futian watched as he left and said, "Headmaster Yi knew that I specialized in musical sorcery and purposely brought me here to you, Grandmaster."

"Yi Xiang is honest and loyal, unlike the School of the Emperor Star. They've changed." The elder shook his head and said to Hua Jieyu, "Child, go bring me all my music score books."

"Okay." Hua Jieyu nodded and left for a little while. When she returned, she had an armful of score books.

"Give them all to Ye Futian, so he can familiarize himself with them," said the elder. Hua Jieyu nodded again and handed the books over to Ye Futian.

Ye Futian looked really serious when he took over the books. He knew what this meant. Hua Fengliu's powers had been rid of. Grandmaster was now handing down everything he was supposed to hand down to Hua Fengliu to him instead.

"You stay here and learn from Grandmaster, I'm leaving first," said Hua Jieyu. Ye Futian lightly nodded and began to look through the score books.

Hua Jieyu returned to her own dorm, and not long after, the people of the Emperor Star school came for her. An elder asked her, "Headmaster Yi Xiang left alone, did Ye Futian stay here with you?"

"Grandmaster wanted him to stay and learn to play the guqin. If you guys need anything, go ask Grandmaster," said Hua Jieyu coldly. The people from the school shared a look and headed to Elder Qin's residence.

Hua Jieyu watched as they left, her expression peaceful as ever. Now that the secret was out, she felt so calm. It was about time to get this thing straightened out. Walking to the edge of the residence, a gust of wind enveloped her, carrying her down from the Emperor Star school.

At Donghai Academy, there were tons of students walking around the campus. Right at this moment, someone looked up at the sky and shouted, "Hua Jieyu!"

Gradually, more people began to look up. They saw Hua Jieyu being carried through the sky by a force of Spiritual Qi, like a goddess strolling in the air.

"So beautiful. Not even the girl with Minister Zuo can compare to her. Hua Jieyu really is Donghai Academy's number one beauty," said one of the students. Many hearts skipped a beat as they looked at the goddess in the sky. They could only watch her from afar because she was already dating someone. Even goddesses have people they like.

Mu Yunxuan. That name made many people envious, and even jealous.

Hua Jieyu stopped and descended from the skies. When she saw that she had the attention of a good amount of people, she began to speak, "Recently, there have been some rumors about me being spread around Donghai Academy."

Everyone looked at her. There seemed to be something different about Hua Jieyu.

"They are untrue," she said calmly. This stirred up some feelings instantly. For a while now, the rumors about Hua Jieyu dating Mu Yunxuan spread to every corner of the academy. Now, Hua Jieyu had actually spoken up. The rumors were false. Hua Jieyu came all the way down from the School of the Emperor Star just to set things straight.

Saying all she had to say, she turned to leave.

"So, does this mean you don't have anyone you like?" someone gathered the courage to yell out at Hua Jieyu.

Hua Jieyu slowed down. In her mind, a certain young man appeared, which brought a smile to her face. "I do have someone I like."

Hua Jieyu's smile had many people in a daze. But at the same time, their hopes and dreams were destroyed once again. Hua Jieyu already had someone she liked. It's just that it was the rumored Mu Yunxuan.

"Who is he? Is he better than Mu Yunxuan?" someone asked.

Hua Jieyu thought of the spectacular young man again and smiled even brighter. "Mu Yunxuan is not worthy to be compared to him." After that, she was up in the skies again, dancing through the clouds like a goddess.

Everyone was shocked, frozen in place. Along with hearing Hua Jieyu's words, they were able to hear the sound of their hearts break.
