Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 16 The Deadly Sword and the Divine Sword

Seeing such a powerful display, Lin Jingyu was greatly alarmed and dared not underestimate it in the slightest.

"Yan!"

A sword cry rang out from the Dragon Slayer Sword, and feeling the intense battle intent emanating from within it, flames also ignited in Lin Jingyu's eyes.

"Let me see what you can use to stop me!"

As he spoke, Lin Jingyu did not back down at all. He stomped his foot hard and soared into the sky, his Dragon Slayer Sword slashing upwards in a defiant manner.

"clang!"

After the two swords clashed, streams of sword energy emanated from the two men, transforming into gusts of wind that swept outwards.

"boom!"

In front of Shoujing Hall, withered yellow bamboo leaves fluttered everywhere, as if autumn winds were sweeping away fallen leaves.

On the side, Song Daren, Qi Hao and the others stared intently at the two people competing in the arena, secretly marveling at how these two were truly peerless geniuses. At such a young age, not only were their cultivation levels remarkable, but their swordsmanship was also superb.

Tian Buyi and Su Ru stared intently at the two swords: one a divine sword radiating auspicious energy, and the other a fierce sword exuding murderous intent.

The two people wielding the swords are quite different from the swords in their hands.

The dark red longsword was menacing, yet the person wielding it had clear eyes and a determined gaze. The emerald green longsword was awe-inspiring, but the person wielding it had a stubborn expression and a crazed look in their eyes.

"Oh!"

The magical power erupting from the twin swords forced both of them back.

But the next moment, the two childhood friends once again raised their swords and clashed together.

"clang!"

The divine sword and the malevolent sword clashed violently. Sparks flew as the sword blades crossed, and amidst the clashing blades, two pairs of eyes met, with a faint glimmer of fire also appearing.

"Zhang Xiaofan, you coward!"

Lin Jingyu stared at the increasingly unfamiliar figure in front of him with bloodshot eyes, clenching his teeth as he spoke, word by word.

Zhang Xiaofan's expression remained unchanged as he gradually lowered his longsword. A hint of madness, whose identity was unknown, was reflected in his calm eyes.

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. The weak have no right to say no to fate before they become strong!"

The deep voice made Lin Jingyu's pupils shrink, unsure whether it was because of the changes in his old friend or because of the shocking reality.

The next moment, an even stronger burst of magical power erupted from Zhang Xiaofan's body. Then, he exerted force with the longsword in his hand once again, directly knocking Lin Jingyu back.

The magical power came so suddenly that by the time Lin Jingyu reacted, he had already been blasted away.

This sudden turn of events startled Qi Hao, his expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Fifth level of Jade Purity!"

As a peak eighth-level Jade Purity cultivator, Qi Hao could naturally sense Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation level from the burst of magical power he had just unleashed; it was an astonishing fifth-level Jade Purity cultivator.

It should be noted that even though Master praised Lin Jingyu, a prodigy, he had only broken through to the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm.

In the eyes of his master and other elders, Zhang Xiaofan, who entered the sect at the same time as Junior Brother Lin and had mediocre talent, actually reached the fifth level of the Jade Purity Realm before Junior Brother Lin, which was truly unbelievable.

Compared to Qi Hao, Song Daren and the others were much calmer, but they still couldn't hide their surprise on their faces, especially Tian Ling'er, who was beaming with joy as she saw Zhang Xiaofan display his power for the first time.

However, Tian Buyi and Su Ru, looking at that menacing figure, both had a hint of worry in their eyes. They looked at each other and nodded in unison.

In the arena, after Zhang Xiaofan repelled Lin Jingyu with a single sword strike, he did not hold back any longer and charged forward again, brandishing the Burning Sword.

As they approached, Zhang Xiaofan raised his Burning Sword, its blade radiating a violent aura, and brought it down directly on Lin Jingyu's head. Lin Jingyu, seeing this, remained unyielding, forcefully raising his sword to meet the attack. "Clang!"

The moment the two swords clashed, the powerful force emanating from the Burning Sword caused Lin Jingyu's shoulder to sink, forcing him to take two steps back once again.

Zhang Xiaofan continued his attack with his sword, employing no fancy sword techniques, only brutal slashes, yet he forced the stubborn Lin Jingyu, who refused to dodge, into a series of retreats.

"You keep saying you'll investigate thoroughly, but you can't even withstand a few of my sword strikes. What makes you think you can investigate thoroughly?"

"Huh? Tell me, what can you use to thoroughly investigate?"

"Can you defeat the Demonic Sect?"

Do you know how many powerful figures the Demonic Sect has?

With each slash of his sword, the young man, enveloped in a fierce aura, roared like a wild beast, his questions leaving Lin Jingyu speechless.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, bursts of winter thunder rumbled from the heavens, and then the sky darkened abruptly, as if everything had returned to that dark night in the small village.

Zhang Xiaofan had already put down his sword at some point, while Lin Jingyu, leaning on his sword, knelt on the ground, head bowed and silent.

"Jingyu, put it down. Grass Temple Village... is gone!"

Looking down at Lin Jingyu, Zhang Xiaofan sighed softly, then turned around to sheathe his sword and leave.

But Lin Jingyu looked up at this moment, staring intently at Zhang Xiaofan, and suddenly asked.

"So, have you let go?"

Zhang Xiaofan stiffened slightly, his hand paused, then he sheathed the Burning Sword and walked away without looking back.

Lin Jingyu watched Zhang Xiaofan's figure disappear into the distance, then stopped in front of Tian Buyi and Su Ru. After bowing to the two of them, he walked away along the path, his figure gradually becoming blurry.

Only after Zhang Xiaofan's figure had completely disappeared did Lin Jingyu suddenly chuckle, leaning on his longsword and swaying as he stood up.

After sheathing the Dragon Slayer Sword, Lin Jingyu turned around and went to Qi Hao's side, speaking softly.

"Brother, let's go."

As he spoke, Lin Jingyu took the initiative to bow to Tian Buyi and Su Ru, which surprised Tian Buyi.

Seeing this, Qi Hao did not linger any longer and took the initiative to greet Tian Buyi and Su Ru.

"Uncle Tian, ​​Uncle Su, your disciple and Junior Brother Lin need to go to Xiaozhu Peak to deliver a message, so we will take our leave now."

"Go ahead, and take good care of your junior brother."

Su Ru responded gently, and Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu clasped their hands in greeting again before each flying away from Dazhu Peak on their swords.

After Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu disappeared, Song Daren, He Dazhi and the others burst into laughter and praised them.

"Junior brother is really amazing!"

"Yes, Junior Brother is not only highly skilled in cultivation, but also has superb swordsmanship. Those few sword strikes were so skillful and seemingly effortless, they were truly impressive."

"Yes, your junior brother has only been cultivating for less than four years, yet he has already achieved such a level of cultivation. Your master and I are truly gratified."

Just as the disciples were celebrating with each other, they saw Su Ru looking at them with a smile, which immediately changed the expressions of Song Daren and the others.

Sure enough, the next moment, Su Ru coldly snorted and said.

"Your junior brother has already reached such a level of cultivation, yet you haven't made any progress in the past three years. Are you trying to drive your master and me crazy?"
