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

Chapter 34 Divine Sword Tianya
Shortly after Lu Xueqi went on stage, another disciple from Dragon Head Peak went up and, upon standing on the stage, spoke to Lu Xueqi with an excited expression.

“Junior Sister Lu, I am Fang Chao, a disciple of Dragon Head Peak. It is truly an honor to be able to spar with you today.”

"Greetings, Senior Brother Fang. I am Lu Xueqi, a disciple of Xiaozhu Peak. I humbly request your guidance today!"

Lu Xueqi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a cold aura emanated from her. Holding a sky-blue longsword, she replied in a cold voice.

"clang!"

As the bell tolled, Lu Xueqi's expression turned slightly cold, and a sharp aura rushed towards Fang Chao, causing Fang Chao to feel a chill run down his spine. His face hardened, and with a flick of his right hand, he summoned a silver-white immortal sword.

After the immortal sword was unleashed, a chill swept over, and soon, a thin layer of ice formed within several feet around Fang Chao.

However, Lu Xueqi, who was suspended in mid-air by the clouds, remained expressionless, and her divine sword did not seem to be drawn. She simply stared coldly at Fang Chao.

Seeing that Lu Xueqi remained unmoved, Fang Chao became anxious. He pointed his sword with a gesture, and before the silver-white immortal sword could fly out, he had already spoken to remind her.

"Junior Sister Lu, be careful!"

The Taoist Cangsong below, seeing his disciple in such a sorry state, couldn't help but snort, which angered Master Shuiyue, who had always been at odds with Taoist Cangsong, and she immediately reacted.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Cangsong? He seems to have some dissatisfaction?"

"Hmph! Junior Sister Shuiyue, your disciples are all truly stunningly beautiful!"

Daoist Cangsong didn't turn his head, but just said with a cold smile.

The martial arts competition is currently underway, yet Daoist Cangsong praises the beauty of Master Shuiyue's disciples instead of her cultivation. Master Shuiyue cannot tolerate the sarcasm in this, and immediately retorts.

"I had no idea that my Qingyun Sect would have such a lecherous rogue who lusts after beautiful women. I wonder who taught him and who he is!"

Master Shuiyue didn't mention Daoist Cangsong at all, yet Daoist Cangsong was so angry he trembled. Just as he was about to lash out, Daoxuan Zhenren, who was sitting in the middle, reached out and pressed Daoist Cangsong's shoulder, speaking softly.

“Junior Brother Cangsong, our Qingyun Sect is a legitimate sect of Taoism, and we place great importance on cultivation. Junior Brother, you must not be lazy and need to put in more effort to teach us.”

Although he didn't verbally reprimand her, Dao Xuan Zhenren felt a sense of disappointment and even worry.

Judging from the current situation, the once very prosperous lineage of Dragon Head Peak has truly declined. Among the disciples of this generation, apart from the exceptionally talented Lin Jingyu, there is not a single one worth mentioning.

Although they all seemed to have good cultivation levels, a closer look revealed that they were not up to the task and could not shoulder the responsibility of Dragon Head Peak, let alone support the Qingyun Sect, which was the leader of the righteous path.

Even including the previous generation, there was Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu.

How many exceptionally talented disciples does Longshou Peak have? They are even comparable to those of Changmen Tongtian Peak, which shows how lazy Cangsong Daoren has become in recent years.

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Cangsong's expression seemed somewhat displeased, but he ultimately responded in a deep voice and then fell silent.

At this moment, the situation on the stage suddenly changed. Fang Chao, who was originally attacking Lu Xueqi with his immortal sword, was knocked back by Lu Xueqi wielding the Azure Divine Sword, which was still sheathed.

After defeating Fang Chao, Lu Xueqi tossed the divine sword in her hand, and the sky-blue sword flew out of its sheath. At the same time, she bent and stretched her five fingers on her right hand, forming a magic seal.

The next moment, the Azure Divine Sword shone brightly, covering the entire arena and striking towards Fang Chao with a chilling aura. Seeing that Lu Xueqi didn't even draw her sword, Fang Chao was furious, but he still casually condensed three ice walls filled with a chilling aura, trying to block the Azure Divine Sword and look for an opportunity to counterattack.

In mid-air, Lu Xueqi's bright eyes shone like stars, her long black hair danced in the wind, and she chanted incantations in a low voice. Her cold face exuded a sharp and chilling aura.

Zhang Xiaofan gazed at the azure immortal sword displaying its might, then gently stroked the long flute tucked at his waist. The faint light that had been there before it had already faded away.

The next moment, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes narrowed.

Suddenly, the Azure Divine Sword, which had been flying in mid-air and emitting a sky full of blue light, let out a loud bang, like a dragon roaring to the sky. In an instant, the surrounding clouds were dispersed.

That day, the Azure Divine Sword, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, sped down from the sky and, with unstoppable force, shattered the three ice walls in the blink of an eye.

Fang Chao was shocked. With his strength, he could naturally condense more ice walls. He thought that three ice walls would be enough, but he did not expect Lu Xueqi to be so skilled.

But it was too late to cast a spell. Fang Chao was about to use the silver-white immortal sword to protect himself when, in the next instant, a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder and pulled him backward.

The audience below saw a flash of light, and a tall figure stood in front of Fang Chao before being swallowed up by the blue light.

"boom!"

The sound was like thunder, and a huge shockwave swept rapidly in all directions, like a whirlwind sweeping away the surrounding clouds. Many disciples were blown away by the gale.

In mid-air, Lu Xueqi, dressed in blue like a celestial being, finally changed her expression. Her bright eyes, filled with a sharp glint, stared intently at the figure beneath the Azure Divine Sword.

As the light of the Azure Divine Sword gradually faded, the crowd below finally saw the scene on the stage.

Fang Chao, who was supposed to be one of the competitors, has disappeared from the stage and no one knows where he was thrown.

Replacing him on the stage was a young man in a greyish-white robe, tall and slender, with a resolute face, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, carrying two swords on his back.

The man placed one hand on his waist and the other in front of him. The Tianya Divine Sword, which had just displayed its power, was now firmly held in his hand, its sheath tucked in, motionless and without any flash of light.

Below the stage, Zeng Shushu looked at Zhang Xiaofan, who had suddenly appeared on the stage, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Junior Brother Zhang!"

The countless disciples watching below were also filled with shock, many of them...
The Dao Xuan Zhenren, Shui Yue Master, and Cang Song Daoren sitting in front of Zeng Shushu all had a look of shock in their eyes. Even they hadn't quite seen how Zhang Xiaofan appeared on the stage.

“Senior Sister Lu, the Martial Arts Tournament is a friendly competition among fellow disciples. We should stop when we have made a point. If that senior brother offended you in any way, I hope you will forgive him.”

After pressing down the Biluo Huangquan sword at his waist, Zhang Xiaofan turned his wrist, held the sword with both hands, and spoke to Lu Xueqi.

Lu Xueqi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a look of surprise flashing in them. She landed from mid-air and stood in front of Zhang Xiaofan without saying a word.

After staring at Zhang Xiaofan for a long time, seemingly having memorized his face completely, Lu Xueqi reached out and took the Azure Sky Sword from Zhang Xiaofan's hand, saying in a cold voice.

"Junior Brother Zhang's Taoist skills are profound. Indeed, I hope you will not hesitate to teach me!"

With that, Lu Xueqi, holding the divine sword, turned and walked towards Master Shuiyue below the stage.
