Chapter 273: Beautiful appearance and Killing intent
Qin Chao stood up before the incense stick could burn down to the halfway point.
A dense golden light flashed across his body, brightening the entire school grounds like a small sun.
Nine-Turns Mind Recovery pill certainly deserved to be called a scared healing medicine. When its effect combined with the Diamond Sutra, not only did Qin Chao fully regained his depleted elemental aura, he even got stronger by a bit.
Devil practitioners like him had a better of chance at speeding up their cultivation progress if they experienced real battles instead of practicing alone.
Seeing the intense golden light, all the people reacted to it in different ways.
Qing Xiu frowned, ‘How can this man recover so quickly? Although he used my Nine-Turns Mind Recovery pill, it could only only recover fifty to sixty percent of his injuries at best.’
‘But now, not only did his injuries got all better, he seemed to have achieved a slight breakthrough in his realm.’
“Evildoer from Rakshasa Sect, I really can’t let you live!” Chen Qing smiled coldly, “Enlightened Jiang, if you don’t want to deal with him, I, Chen Qing, will undertake the task on your behalf.”
“Fairy Chen Qing, there’s no need to trouble yourself.” Jiang Yifan felt his hands itching. His gaze shifted to Qin Chao, “It seems you’ve almost recovered from your injuries. Come, draw your sword!”
He turned his hand over to unsheathe his long sword.
It was a long and thin double-edged sword, different from the heavy swords used by people from Shu Mountain Sect; with an even more elegant and flexible looking blade.
People from Hua Mountain Sect were also expert in using using swords, but their sword technique had some difference with Shu Mountain Sect’s.
Shu Mountain Sect’s technique emphasized on ‘using aura to control sword’, and practiced ‘sword aura’. On the other hand, Hua Mountain Sect’s technique employed the exact opposite style. They tempered the ‘sword blade’, and practiced with their emphasis on ‘using sword to control aura’.
Therefore, every sword of Hua Mountain was a superb weapon that had undergone countless tempering.
Once a Hua Mountain’s disciple began his practice, their sword will accompany them for the rest of the life until death.
And the sword Jiang Yifan carried had already accompanied him for a whole thirty years.
Talking about his attainment in the way of sword, he had reached the standard of ‘Person-Sword Unification’. So long as he had his sword, Jiang Yifan considered himself invincible under the Heavens.
“That’s a nice sword.” Qin Chao also drew his Evil Monarch’s Sword. The black-colored blade of the sword was quite inconspicuous in the dark of the night.
“This sword is called Clear Spring!” Jiang Yifan flicked the blade, making it issue a dragon roar. He leaned his body forward and then rapidly approached Qin Chao with light steps before brandishing his sword.
“A swing to chill the Nine Provinces!”
Sword images carrying chilling aura split in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the entire ground was filled with them.
Jiang Yifan truly didn’t hold back. Under the influence of his attack, a layer of frost started to cover the ground surface. Every place struck by the sword images began to freeze bit by bit.
Some of the sword images heading towards Qin Chao drifted away from their path, and nearly inflicted damage on the group of people standing to the side.
Fortunately, none of them was an ordinary person. They either took out some defensive magical item or used their magical arts to ward off the sword images as they secretly cursed Jiang Yifan as a retard for getting them involved in his fight.
“Evil Monarch’s Waning Moon Slash!” Looking at his opponent’s move, the power in Qin Chao’s body surged turbulently. He swung his sword, immediately releasing a blank crescent moon which rushed high into the sky and destroyed all the sword images falling down.
“It’s useless. This move, ‘a swing to chill the Nine Provinces’, generates sword aura in an unceasing manner. You don’t have the means to withstand my attack.” Jiang Yifan said as he laughed loudly, standing in the sky with an aloof temperament.
“That might not be true.” Qin Chao snorted at his words. Suddenly, the Evil Monarch’s Sword in his hand glimmered with a dense black light.
“Evil Monarch’s Waning Moon Slash!”
This time round, Qin Chao’s sword didn’t release a over three-meters big black crescent moon as before; instead, half-meter long small crescent moons, which extremely frail appearance, rush together into the sky and collided with the sword images up there.
‘Your Clear Spring Sword may be powerful, but my Evil Monarch’s Sword isn’t bad either!”
Holding his sword, Qin Chao gestured towards Jiang Yifan standing in the sky, conveying him with his hands ‘dude, you’re no good’.
“I didn’t think his sword technique could change in such a fashion.” Jiang Yifan felt startled in his heart. After a few moments later, he prepared to brandish his sword again.
But then at this time, a red flame appeared out of nowhere before him. He retreated a good few meters upon sensing the surge of energy from the flame.
Soon after, the flame slowly blossomed into a red lotus flower.
It was Emei Mountain’s Holy Fire-Lotus!
Jiang Yifan’s gaze swept over Qing Xiu, “Enlightened Qing Xiu, what’s the meaning of this?”
“May we all be blessed and happy!” Qing Xiu smiled faintly, “Every person is only allowed one move, so I don’t want to see you breaking the rule.”
“Hmph!” Jiang Yifan was in a pretty bad mood since he had yet to have some fun; it was a situation similar to being informed of the end of meal time without getting to enjoy anything, making him feel very uncomfortable.
However, since it was an arrangement everyone had agreed to beforehand, he didn’t want to do anything that would incur the wrath of Heaven and end up as a ghost.
“Boy, you’ve got to live on, so that I can have a proper battle with you once again in the future!”
After finishing his words, he went over to stand at the back, leaving the ‘battle group’ behind him.
Everyone sucked in a cold breath one after another.
In such a short while, experts from Kunlun, Black&Great, and Hua Mountain, all of them had to withdraw from the battle.
The Eight large sects sent three of them, but to no avail. Even if the devil’s follower died in the end, he would still become renown throughout the world!
“Enlightened Jiang, since you’ve failed to accomplish anything, it’s our Shu Mountain’s turn this time!” Seeing even Jiang Yifan coming back empty-handed, Chen Qing couldn’t help but let out a sneer.
“The representatives from you three large sects came back with embarrassing results when facing a mere little devil, and you guys still have the nerve to claim yourselves to be experts from prestigious sects?!”
Chen Yu was a short-tempered lass who didn’t know how to act politely. She promptly spoke in a loud voice, “Now all of you open your eyes and witness the power of our Shu Mountain. We’ll let you know once again why our sect deserves to be ranked as first.”
“Junior Sister, you need to speak with a sense of propriety.” Xu Renfeng warned his Junior Sister.
“But I haven’t said anything wrong. I simply stated the fact.”
