Chapter 59: The Number One Swordsman in the Fraternity

Yi Ping’s ar as he deliver blow after blow

Even though it appeared that he had the upper hand but there were simply too many exponents; out of five hundred, only a hundred odds had actually fallen The rest of the exponents were the best of their generation and they were now encircling Yi Ping as they looked for a weakness to deal him a death blow!

These exponents were not weak A them were several exponents that were evenMasters of the Martial Fraternity These exponents also consisted of many experienced elders of the various martial clans!

Many of the exponents were at first taken by surprise by Yi Ping’s treround with one hit, they soon picked thely This was because Yi Ping did not really used all his entire martial force to deal any fatal blows; he was just content to knock the attacking exponents aside as heexponents!

The protégés of the Zen Sect had organized themselves into their Seven Stars Illusionary Sword Forés and they had formed seven waves of the Seven Stars Illusional Sword For on all sides!

The Seven Stars Illusionary Sword Forns and sudden attack movements to trap and assault the opponent The effectiveness of this type of sword forainst a lone opponent!

The Infinity Sword Clan was also executing themovement of the Infinitude Sword Fores of the Infinity Swordplay Each of the fighters in this forroup

Yi Ping was dazzled by the wavering display of the Infinity Swordplay in all directions It was a lucky thing that he was quite faht with Zuo Tianyi on a number of occasions and had the Absolute Spirits to fortify his willpower or else he would have panicked and had been killed by now!

As the five hundred exponents were all from different martial clans, there were also many other for displayed at the saainst him

In additional to these five hundred exponents, an additional two hundred exponents that could still fight could not resist the te as well!

All the onlookers were gasping andtheue strokes that they had ever seen being displayed right before their eyes!

Lingfeng, Lie Qing, Yunzi, Yu’Er, Mei’Er and Youxue atching the fight keenly as they were concerned for Yi Ping’s safety

Gu Tianle had just coughed out ato stand when Zuo Tianyi had said suddenly, “Let me take care of him I just happen to know his fatal weakness”

Xiao Shuai, Han Shaodong, the Martial Sage, Shen Xingyue and all the exponents that were on the side of the Honor Manor had overheard Zuo Tianyi was intrigued by his statement and their curiosity were aroused

Gu Tianle wasisto show any mercy…”

Han Shaodong raised his hand in front of him as he whispered, “Don’t be hasty first Let see what this Zuo Tianyi can do He see”

Gu Tianle sighed as he stared fiercely at Yi Ping He was the Master of the Honor Manor For hi defeat in the presence of his protégés and the heroes of the fraternity was a great loss of honor

Shen Xingyue was also startled by the clai curiously at him now

Chi Zhengqi had noticed that she was eyeing Zuo Tianyi and he was overcome with envy so he said to her, “He sure kno to boast I say, my martial skills are even better than him!”

Xiao Ao as also pursuing Shen Xingyue said quickly, “When we are alone, I will show you the intrigue swordplay of the Virtuous Palace and you will know that the Virtuous Swordplay is the best in the entire martial fraternity!”

Xiao Fei was rubbing his nose as he looked inquisitively at Shen Xingyue It was because he was also interested in her but was too shy to say so When he knew that his nephew Xiao Ao was interested in her, he was at a loss! It was so that he had never experienced before!

He found hi in front of her Soyue was a very special maiden but he had no way to prove it nor was he interested to do so Her extrereatly Earlier when everyone was startled by Yi Ping’s ate, she walked unhurriedly and was not even startled It was as though she was not afraid of death or dangers…

In the Virtuous Palace, Xiao Fei was renowned for his keen perception That hy he could figure out where Xiao Yuanjia had hidden his thirteen secret swords and could warn Youxue!

When he noticed that she had Zuo Tianyi’s sword, he was secretly alarift to her That very night, he had drunk himself silly…

Shen Xingyue nodded gently but did say anything She knew that they were just trying to get her attention and that they had been doing so ever since the first day that they had met

She patiently tolerated their incessant talks because she did not want anyone to know her true martial levels So far, she had only revealed herself to Zuo Tianyi and Lu Baiyun because she had recognized the Blue Heavens as a divine sword of the Ascension Sect and it was her duty to retrieve it back

The Blue Heavens was actually a heavenly sword that ned by the Lord Alhty as the Celestial Leader of the Ascension Sect This heavenly sas also the foundation artifact of the Ascension Sect!

The Lord Alhty and dozens of Celestials from the Ascension Sect were killed by the deadly Celestial Annihilation Star Formation created by the Three Star Sisters of Fate when they had attacked the Melody Palace

No one had kno deadly the Celestial Annihilation Star Forhty and several of the Supreme Celestials had seen many kinds of celestial formations and by the time they had becoainst them

No one was also expecting a strong resistance froe of defeat, the timely arrival of the dozen Star Celestials from the Melody Palace and their sacrifices saved it from total annihilation

In the end, they were deterred by the legendary Celestial Annihilating Star Formation which was put up by the Three Star Sisters of Fate However the Lord Alht and he did not believe that with the intellect of so many Celestials, they could not destroy the Celestial Annihilating Star Formation

The Celestial Annihilating Star Formation was a defensive for ago Even before the Divine Descendent event, it was already a well-known Celestial Formation in the Celestial Realm It had only one purpose, to kill all the Celestials that were trapped inside!

The Lord Al Star Formation was held into place by nine Heavenly Relics in its outer formation and the inner formation was held by three divine swords as its pillars If they could break the Celestial Annihilating Star Formation, then they could obtain the three divine swords and the nine Heavenly Relics One of the divine swords was the much coveted Heavenly Earth Sword that exuded the Universal Force!

And so driven by their greed, they had entered the for Celestials of the Melody Palace In the end, hty could not escape the formation and they were all killed by the Universal Force of the Celestial Annihilating Star Formation

That eventof the end for both the Celestial Ascension Sect and the Celestial Melody Palace

That was how the Blue Heavens had been lost until now!

Shen Xingyue’s thoughts were interrupted by Zuo Tianyi as now shouting, “Everyone !”

Immediately all the exponents made a hasty withdrawal

Dugu Yunzi hummed coldly as she said with cold de You knohat you did”

Zuo Tianyi said, “Yunzi, you knowpath and even collaborated with the heretic sects Even though in é master of the Infinity Sword Clan The Infinity Sword Clan is one of the hteous orthodox clan in the fraternity…”

Dugu Yunzi interrupted, “You are right to say that the Infinity Sword Clan is a righteous orthodox clan but you are definitely not You are just a wolf in sheep clothing, despicable and evil!”

Zuo Tianyi had i fearsoies in all directions as he walked in front of Yi Ping, “Yi Ping, do you dare to duel with me?”

Yi Ping had immediately displayed the Heavens Horizon in a defensive stance as he said, “Why will I not dare?”

Zuo Tianyi said, “But you know, I aht an unarainst an unarivefor you to be proud of for it is not a true victory”

By now, everyone knehat Zuo Tianyi was hinting at Swordplay was Zuo Tianyi’s expertise but to Yi Ping, he was more familiar with the Divine Horizon Hands than the Horizon Swordplay

Yi Ping and Zuo Tianyi had crossed swords previously but Zuo Tianyi had since progressed greatly in his swordplay He could now iies to his sword and releasing it as killing sword energy That was the energy form of the Infinity-First Swordplay, the ability to kill invisibly froy could be sense but it was invisible and could not be block!

Even though Yi Ping possessed extraordinary martial power but he could not transfer the extraordinary martial power to his swords! It was because he was not trained in utilizing internal strength as a pure fory and that required decades of hard work and constant practice Even for the Old Sword Saint, it took him some four decades before he could attain the level of the Infinity-Two to finally transfer his internal intricate energies into sword energy!

Also as a purest fories could dissipate the ht through their bodies!

Zuo Tianyi was a prodigy and had reached the Infinity-Then he was in his twenties When he had witnessed the fight between the Celestial Fairy and the Heavenly Teured out a way to reach the Infinity-One, which was the Old Sword Saint level!

Moreover, the Heavenly Divine Dreaiven to hith and had helped hiy!

Zuo Tianyi was secretly thinking, “After I have killed Yi Ping, I will yuewith me I will let you kno a man will treat a woman After that, I want you to quietly hand over your clan two divine skills toDipper Hands and the Divine Rejuvenation Force And of course the secrets of your Heavenly Divine Pills will also be mine I will use it for a better use for the domination of the entire fraternity!”

When he had thought of that, he secretly took a lustful look at the beautiful angelic Shen Xingyue and i him for mercy on the bed…

Lingfeng was secretly sighing in her heart but she had interrupted, “Strange, then for you to defeat Yi Ping, it is considered a true victory?”

Zuo Tianyi replied coldly, “The Horizon Swordplay is also renowned in thecan choose not to accept the challenge though”

Yi Ping said, “I will accept the challenge but…”

Zuo Tianyi laughed, “But? Swords are blind If you want to surrender during a battle, I can try rant you your request You only need to say the word ‘surrender’ and I will stop But your friends will have to make to surrender as well”

Yi Ping eyed Zuo Tianyi coldly, “I have no intention to surrender or use e for my own I have yet to settle my feud with you for your despicable act I have only one request and that is to fight Lu Baiyun, Gu Tianle and you at the same time!”

Lingfeng, Yu’Er and Mei’Er gasped

Lingfeng was rebuking Yi Ping quietly in her heart, “One Zuo Tianyi is ht these three super exponents at the same time?”

Yu’Er was , “Master…”

Youxue whispered coldly, “If he wants to be a hero, let him be…”

Even though her voice was cold but she was actually extremely worried for him!

Shen Xingyue’s fingers were tre!

When he had declared that he would challenge Zuo Tianyi, Gu Tianyi and the Lu Baiyun at the sahteousness around hiance but a deh injustice It was because as a Celestial that had already attained past the Ehteousness in his heart!

She was secretly startled It was because the White Sage of Eh attainment There were many times that she had secretly wished that she could sense his e…

Fro heart, she could sense that he wanted to protect these maidens But it caused her to be even ht, “These maidens are previous incarnations of the Celestials that are all killed by hiether with him Even if they have no memories of their previous self but the memories of their hatred for their killer would never vanish and this instinct would become a natural mistrust”

There was a hint of a tear in her angelic eyes as she secretly sighed, “So whether it is the White Sage of the Emptiness or you now, you really can’t remember who I am or because you never have me in your heart?”

Lu Baiyun was heard laughing, “Do I have a feud with you?”

Yi Ping said, “That is forand all those that you have tried to haro at the Tranquil Mountains”

Yuan Shao interrupted huet about me I was there at the Tranquil Mountains too”

Yi Ping said solemnly, “I can tell that you have not recovered from your injuries I can wait until you have recovered before we can settle our feud”

Yuan Shao huave no indication whatever so of what he was thinking

Lu Baiyun was secretly thinking, “If Gu Tianle, Zuo Tianyi and I are to fight this Yi Ping together, our odds of winning are high This is yue If I can win her hand, then I will not only gainDipper Hand Divine Skill and the Divine Rejuvenation Force With the powerful Master Hao Shaodong as my backer, the entire Honor Manor and even the martial fraternity will soon be mine!”

So he smiled and said to Gu Tianle, “What do you think?”

Gu Tianle said, “Even though all of you will be fighting with your swords, I will stick to ilist and the Master of the Honor Manor I don’tman a handicap”

Yi Ping said, “Good! No matter who is the winner of this duel, no one in the fraternity ain! I will settle their feuds with the martial fraternity on their behalf”

Gu Tianle took a hurried glance at Han Shaodong who nodded silently at him

Gu Tianle laughed, “The criiven But on account for your bravery, I will promise you that the Honor Manor would not pursue their heinous crimes But only if you are able to win the three of us at the same time!”

Many of the martial exponents on the side of the Honor Manor were now incessantly ant to challenge Gu Tianle, Zuo Tianyi and Lu Baiyun at the saht even before it had begun! But of course, the end result of the debate was that which one of the three would be the first one to take Yi Ping’s head!

All of a sudden, an angelic voice interrupted Gu Tianle “Master Tianle, is it alright for you to show some restraint?”

It was Shen Xingyue!

Lie Qing, Lingfeng and the rest of the ’s side were startled to hear her interceding for Yi Ping!

When she had spoken, everyone was instantly seized by her angelic voice even though she was soft spoken It was as though her quiet angelic voice could immediately sent their hearts to pace rapidly!

But Shen Xingyue quickly laughed softly, “He is so insolent that even I feel like dueling him as well If you killed him, then I have no one to test the neord that Master Tianyi has given to ht Master Tianyi and Master Baiyun?”

Gu Tianle nodded and said, “I won’t be too hard on him then”

Zuo Tianyi laughed, “On Maiden Xingyue’s account, I will definitely show him some mercy!”

Lu Baiyun laughed as well, “Don’t worry, he won’t die”

Even though they had all given Shen Xingyue’s their assurances, their smiles were full of malevolent It was obvious that they had no intention of showing any mercy!

Zuo Tianyi was secretly pissed off and his heart was burning with jealousy He had already noticed that Shen Xingyue seereat deal of attention fro eyes!

He thought, “Why is it that all the ? What is so good about him?”

All of a sudden, he raised his sword and pointed

I aura that could be felt by everyone!

Even Yuan Shao and Xiao Shuai were startled They had never seen such terrifying sword energies before!

Even Yi Ping was startled as he took a step backward and his hands were trey waves had already penetrated through his body even before Zuo Tianyi had attacked!

Lingfeng whispered in alar had lost the protection of his Icy Heavenly Tears internal force At that close proxiies have already enveloped him and restrained him…”

Xiao Youxue, Yu’Er and Mei’Er who had been practicing the Icy Heavenly Tears were alar fro far away but the paralyzing sword energy waves had already paralyzed them and caused numbness to them!

Lie Qing was sole atery eyes She was clutching her long sword now It was obvious that she had no intention to just standing at the back any five hundred and sixty strokes, Yi Ping’s fingers can no longer hold his swords steadily That Tianyi, I am sure is aware of it”

Dugu Yunzi said quietly, “That’s five hundred and sixty-one strokes There is an extra stroke that he had used to stabilized himself after he had beaten off Gu Tianle That is the Thousand Weight Fall skill that Lele has taught to him while we are in the valley”

Youxue said coolly, “I have actually lost count after the four hundred strokes I was distracted by that youngat us from time to tiering the long sword beside her? It is obvious that she has the intention to draw that sword into battle anytime”

Lingfeng, Mei’Er and Yu’Er were all startled that Lie Qing, Youxue and Yunzi were able to keep track of every singlethemselves alert!

Lie Qing whispered, “Sisters, if I die in battle Please flee with Ping’Er as fast as possible…”

Lingfeng was startled For Lie Qing to say that, that maiden must be really a formidable opponent!

Dugu Yunzi looked quietly at Lie Qing and said, “Sister Qing’Er, I have no intention of fleeing I will fight on your side, whether you like it or not”

Youxue said coolly as she arranged her sleeves, “I don’t have that intention too You seeotten that we are all from the New Virtuous Palace”

Lie Qing sighed softly as she looked at Yunzi and Youxue, “All of you…”

Lingfeng whispered with an alluring sether? Didn’t we overcoether? Do you think we can flee with so many exponents around us?”

Yu’Er said with a deter back alive anyway I a!”

Mei’Er nodded as she said é mistress is here, these men would not dare to bully us!”

Lie Qing laughed softly, “Even if your protégé mistress is here, these men would still dare to bully us”

Mei’Er protested indignantly, “Then le one of them!”

Lie Qing whispered sadly, “It is precisely because your protégé mistress has killed too many exponents, her Divine Calamity will be extremely difficult…”

Yu’Er was startled as she said, “What did you just say and what do you mean?”

Lie Qing sighed softly, “I don’t want to hide it anymore from any one of you now It is because I h a lot together I shall tell you then The Divine Calamity of the Celestial Fairy will be one of the most malevolent Divine Calamity ever It is because she has sih we have helped her find a most spiritual spot to prepare her but ébecause she knows that she is going to die soon”

Yu’Er and Mei’Er were startled and their eyes were teary

Mei’Er cried out, “No, that is not the true Our protégé mistress will never leave us alone…”

Lingfeng interrupted, “The fight is beginning soon…”

Indeed, Yi Ping was clutching the hilt of his tords with treers as he said aloud to Zuo Tianyi, “What are you waiting for?”

Zuo Tianyi smiled bitterly, “You can’t even pull your swords now Are you so scared now that even your fingers are treth now to pull your swords fro your fists and forgot about the duel condition?”

Yi Ping clutched the hilts of his swords even tighter when Zuo Tianyi pointed it out He quickly said, “Enough say already Are you fighting or not?”

Lu Baiyun was already swinging his sword strokes, “You have not yet drawn your weapons”

Yi Ping hummed coldly as he explained, “I know that ood as the both of you So I ait for an appropriate ti of my swords would not slon after I have executed my swiftness movement…”

Gu Tianle laughed aloud, “Youy!”

Lu Baiyun whispered to Zuo Tianyi, “He is trying to weaken the strength of your sword energies so that he can display his Horizon Swordplay Don’t waste any more time with him anymore!”

Lu Baiyun had immediately displayed his Heartless Strike Technique This secret technique had three killing technique, each one more powerful than the previous execution!
