The skills of this Yunxiao Sect disciple were indeed good
and were similarly at First Heaven of Martial Qi Level
Three. Yi Tianchou knew that even if he could kill the
Yunxiao Sect disciple, he would be wounded as well.

It would naturally be the best if the person gave in and
left.

However…

“What a joke!” The Yunxiao Sect disciple scoffed. “Yi
Tianchou, aren’t you too bold? Do you know that this
Spirit Life Flower is an item that Ye You, the Holy Lady of
my Yunxiao Sect, wants? How dare you fight with Senior
Sister Ye You for it?!”

When mentioning Ye You, the eyes of this Yunxiao Sect
disciple were full of worship and adoration. Ever since Ye
You entered the sect, she was regarded highly by the Sect
Master of Yunxiao Sect and was conferred as the Holy
Lady of Yunxiao Sect. It goes without saying that her
position in the sect was extremely high.

“Humph!” Yi Tianchou scoffed. “Whoever it is, this Spirit
Life Flower is mine today. Since you can’t appreciate my
kindness and want death, I’ll grant you that!”

“Yi Tianchou, you have a death wish!”

Before Yi Tianchou made any move, the Yunxiao Sect
disciple took the advantage of striking first as he drew
out a long sword from the scabbard on his waist with a
crisp clang.

As he waved his sword, the image of the sword was like a
screen which almost turned into a substantial sword aura
that charged towards Yi Tianchou.

“Overconfident!” A cold glint twinkled in Yi Tianchou’s
eyes as he launched a strike with his palm that crushed
the sword aura of the Yunxiao Sect disciple.

That Yunxiao Sect disciple was actually rather skilled, but
his cultivation was at the mid-stage of the First Heaven of
Martial Qi Level Three while Yi Tianchou’s skills had
already reached the perfected stage of the First Heaven
of Martial Qi Level Three. Regardless of the background
and experience in the realm, he was superior to the
Yunxiao Sect disciple.

At that instant, Ye Qingtang was standing near the huge
rock where she spectated the match between Yi
Tianchou and the Yunxiao Sect disciple with indifference.
An icy scoff that was hard to detect hung on the corner of
her lips.

Boom!

A loud bang echoed throughout the surrounding area.
The Yunxiao Sect disciple was hit on his abdomen by Yi
Tianchou and was flung out like a kite with a snapped
string.

However, Yi Tianchou did not have a large gain. His left
shoulder was stabbed by the Yunxiao Sect disciple, and
fresh blood stained his sleeves red in a moment. Under
the tattered clothes was a ghastly sword wound so deep
that his bones could be seen.

“Little brat of Yunxiao Sect, I think you’re tired of living!”
Yi Tianchou was utterly wrathful after being injured by
the Yunxiao Sect disciple. He lifted his right arm and
fiercely waved it in the air.

In a moment, a hurricane ensued, and the force of the
primordial qi condensed into a giant golden palm in the
air.

The speed of the giant golden palm was extremely rapid
as it dove down at the Yunxiao Sect disciple.

Caught off-guard, the Yunxiao Sect disciple was
suppressed by the giant golden palm. With a loud “woah,”
he spat out large mouthfuls of blood.

“Tsk tsk… I’ve been stuck in the First Heaven of Martial Qi
Level Three for five years while you advanced to First
Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three for at most two years…
How can you be my opponent?” Yi Tianchou snickered
evilly as he walked towards the Yunxiao Sect disciple with
a brutal expression.

“Sword of the Heaven Technique!”

The Yunxiao Sect shouted.

“Destroy!”

As the Yunxiao Sect disciple spoke, the long sword in his
hand charged towards Yi Tianchou at the speed of
lightning.

Upon seeing this, Yi Tianchou’s expression changed, and
he hurriedly retreated, temporarily avoiding the tip of the
sword.

The force of the primordial qi with a breath of
destruction on the long sword was extremely terrifying.
While Yi Tianchou’s speed was swift and was not stabbed
by the long sword, the breath of destruction within the
sword wounded him.
