Chapter 379: Why aren’t you using the sword?!

Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu

After saying this much, Ye Tang got serious and poured the true qi inside his dantian into the long sword. Sword qi started to surge on the blade of the sword.

This Second Stage True Master appeared out of nowhere, and even the school head of the Illusory Sword School, Xu Zheng, was currently at a loss. He had no idea when this disciple of his had jumped through the dragon gate, becoming a cultivator of the Second Stage, either!

After the initial shock, his expression changed into one of joy… this was a heaven-sent gift! Ye Tang managed to give him such a pleasant surprise at such a critical moment!

Due to her injuries, Chu Chu could only display the strength of someone in the First Stage Dragon Gate Realm. On the other hand, Ye Tang had the strength of a real Second Stage True Master!

The situation had suddenly reversed!

Cheers exploded in the camp of the Illusory Sword School. It felt as though they had won already!

”Ahahaha! The Illusory Sword School will obtain victory in the first category as well. It's our victory; no one can s.n.a.t.c.h it away!” Xu Zheng had a smug smile on his face. He was so excited that he couldn't help but laugh.

In the camp of the Chu Family.

The disciples of the Chu Family tightly clenched their fists, their expression one of worry.

But right at this time... Fairy Lychee, who was sitting amongst the other fellow daoists from the Nine Provinces Number One Group, raised her head and pointed her delicate hands toward the school head of the Illusory Sword School, Xu Zheng, yelling, ”Transform into a pig!”

The illusory art activated and targeted Xu Zheng's body.

”Puff!” A cloud of smoke shrouded Xu Zheng's body. Soon after, the smoke disappeared, revealing Xu Zheng transformed into a humanoid pig.

The cheers of the Illusory Sword School immediately stopped!

Xu Zheng was stunned and lowered his head, looking at his palm that had now changed into pig's feet.

”Hmm, it's finally quiet again,” Fairy Lychee said coolly. Soon after that 'Chu Chu' stepped onto the stage, her fellow daoists from the Nine Provinces Number One Group started to discuss strange things. The things they were talking about likely happened when she was fighting against those aboriginal deities abroad. Hence, she had no idea what they were speaking about.

As if that wasn't enough, no one was willing to tell her what was going on. They were just laughing and not saying anything.

Therefore, Fairy Lychee had been suppressing her anger for a quite while.

That smug and sudden laughter from Xu Zheng and the other people from the Illusory Sword School finally made her snap. Thus, they ended up becoming the outlet for her anger.

In the camp of the Illusory Sword School, all those present were looking absent-mindedly at the pig-headed Xu Zheng. They felt like laughing but didn't dare to.

On the Grievance Settling Platform, the two supervisors also felt the corners of their mouths twitch. After shooting a glance at each other, they decided to ignore this matter. When that fairy maiden made her move earlier, they felt the aura of a True Monarch come from her body.

Moreover, it was something that happened outside the platform, and hence outside their jurisdiction. After all, they were the supervisors of the platform and merely had to manage what happened on the platform, nothing else.

❄️❄️❄️

On the Grievance Settling Platform.

A Second Stage True Master? That's going to be troublesome.

Song Shuhang, who was now disguised as Chu Chu, rubbed his temples. This was a major headache. He knew from experience that there was a huge disparity between cultivators of the First and Second Stage. It was very difficult to ward off attacks imbued with true qi with qi and blood energy.

In other words, it was like fighting someone that had a real sword with a mere wooden sword! Therefore, he could only try his best!

In front of him, Ye Tang displayed the stance of a sword technique.

”Miss Chu Chu, I'm going to make my move.” After saying this much, he dashed forward like an unsheathed sword.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between them quickly reduced, and Ye Tang used his sword to slash toward Chu Chu from a slanting angle.

He was worthily a Second Stage True Master. Even if he just broke through, his explosive speed surpa.s.sed Shuhang's full-powered ❮Virtuous Man's Ten Thousand Mile Walk❯ by a notch.

Luckily, that speed was still within the range Song Shuhang could handle.

While the sword was approaching, 'Chu Chu' used her right hand to grab the wrapped weapon on her back, warding off Ye Tang's sharp sword with it.

”Clang!”

The wrapped weapon and the sword clashed against each other, sending out a metallic sound.

In the next moment, the true qi on Ye Tang's sword exploded, shredding to pieces the wrapping… inside the wrapping was a one-meter-long treasured saber.

After the attack, Ye Tang stopped in his tracks.

On the other hand, Song Shuhang was forced to take three steps backward.

”A saber?” Ye Tang stared at the weapon in Chu Chu's hand and furrowed his brows… why was she holding a saber?

Chu Chu was very skilled in the art of the sword, and the might of the technique she developed after comprehending the mysterious 'sword technique' of the Chu Family was incredible. Such being the case, why was she using a saber in this match?

It wasn't only Ye Tang, the members of the Chu Family were also dumbstruck.

There was clearly something wrong with this scene! Why was Senior Sister Chu Chu using the saber instead of the sword?

The previous scene was also somewhat strange. That set of fist techniques Senior Sister Chu Chu used earlier gave one a buddhist vibe! And now, she unexpectedly took out a saber, which made even less sense! What did she experience in these past few years that her style became so twisted?

On the Grievance Settling Platform, Ye Tang took a deep breath and cast his eyes down.

”Is she looking down on me?” Ye Tang muttered to himself.

Although her strength had decreased until the First Stage Dragon Gate Realm, Chu Chu was still looking down on him who had reached the Second Stage True Master Realm? Or perhaps she thought that he wasn't worthy of her sword?
