Piao Jiansheng accepted the challenge. That was the first time he had accepted a challenge that was not a sword art battle.
Perhaps it was because he was curious, or perhaps it was because he was intrigued by the determination in Qin Yuyan’s eyes.
He felt that he could agree to that battle.
Section Chief Jin said with an ice-cold expression,
“Piao Jiansheng, don’t mess around. If it’s not a battle of the sword arts, it will be a risk since it will be harder for you. If you lose, it will put a great stain on your pristine battle record in the nine provinces.”
Piao Jiansheng said with a determined look in his eyes,
“A true master of the sword arts will not fear the rules, nor any type of martial arts! If my sword can only be used to fight against sword art martial artists, wouldn’t that be laughable?”
“If you lose, you will have to take full responsibility!”
“I know.”
Piao Jiansheng picked up the iron sword, signaling that the battle had officially begun.
“Thank you.”
Qin Yuyan thanked him and immediately changed to sheathed long saber.
When Qin Shenglong saw that, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her.
“This wretched girl actually went behind my back and secretly learned saber techniques! Does she want to be cut off from the Qin family? After she’s finished, I will take away her surname.”
Du Changfeng did not know whether to laugh or cry as he consoled,
“Old Qin, you need to change your way of thinking. The Qin family’s sword techniques aren’t the strongest sword techniques in this world, and the way of the sword isn’t the strongest martial art in this world either! If the child has a better path, wouldn’t that be for the better?”
“Better my *ss! She cultivated sword techniques with my guidance. What can she do with saber techniques she learned on her own?”
“Let’s wait and see.”
On the stage, both of them suppressed their cultivations below the fifth grade. That way, they would not destroy the martial arts hall and would not harm the audience.
Many people started to take out their cell phones to record, waiting to post it on the forum.
The two faced each other. The entire hall had become so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
There was tension in the air that gradually intensified.
One second!
Two seconds!
Three Seconds!
Finally, Qin Yuyan moved.
She had yet to fully comprehend the saber intent of Ye Xiao’s saber because she did not have a divine soul like Ye Xiao’s which could cultivate on its own. She might need to spend several years, or even several decades, to comprehend that saber intent!
However, Ye Xiao’s saber intent had allowed her to successfully step into the rudiments of saber techniques, and it had also allowed her to truly see the threshold of great saber techniques.
Thus, her cultivation had successfully advanced to Houtian sixth grade within a few days.
If she had cultivated using sword techniques, she might need more than half a year’s time to advance to Houtian sixth grade.
She was confident in that battle.
Her right leg moved slightly and her body bent slightly. Qin Yuyan’s hand was placed on the hilt of the saber.
Seeing that movement, Du Changfeng, who was consoling Qin Shenglong in the stands, suddenly stood up and stared at Qin Yuyan with a serious gaze.
Qin Shenglong was shocked.
“Old Du, What’s wrong?”
Du Changfeng ignored him and just stared at Qin Yuyan.
Between martial artists, a single action could reveal many things.
Qin Yuyan’s saber-drawing stance actually allowed him to see a hint of artistic conception.
In the next second, Qin Yuyan had already made her move.
With a step, her body was like a swallow, transforming into a bolt of lightning and instantly arriving beside Piao Jiansheng.
Piao Jiansheng, who had a relatively serious expression on his face, turned solemn in the blink of an eye.
Bang!
The iron sword was unsheathed, and his sword technique was released in an instant.
Clang, Clang, Clang!
