Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Sitting on the platform, Bai Feng naturally saw how easily Ye Yu had performed during the martial arts competition. The formation Mu Qingchuan had set up was completely transparent to her; even she herself had to deduce its location.

She nodded and said, "This Ye Yu is indeed very powerful. It seems that she can see all the patterns of your formations."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yuci sitting not far away and said, "That kid is probably no match for Ye Yu either."

Zhao Yuci took off the headphones she had been wearing, gripped the sword in her hand, and walked to the center of the square.

Shen Yunling, carrying the sword that Ye Yu had given her before going on stage, ran up to Ye Yu and handed it to her.

When everyone saw Ye Yu take out a sword this time, they were no longer surprised; it seemed like she could do everything.

Zhao Yuci was still somewhat surprised and asked, "You can use a sword too?"

Ye Yu nodded: "Yes, that's the weapon I specialize in."

Zhao Yuci was already feeling the pressure. Ye Yu had only used a little bit of the techniques in the previous competition, so wouldn't her main sword technique be even more powerful?

Ye Yu said to him, "Make your move."

Zhao Yuci took a deep breath, calmed himself, drew his sword, and thrust it towards Ye Yu.

Ye Yu tossed the bone sword into the air, where it spun around a few times before falling back down. She grabbed the hilt and used it to block Zhao Yuci's thrusting sword.

Zhao Yuci twisted her waist and changed her moves, slashing at Ye Yu again.

The swords flashed, and the two exchanged blows, their speed increasing rapidly. The air was filled with sharp, screeching sounds that hurt the ears.

Both of them moved with great skill, unleashing a variety of techniques and moves. Sharp sword energy scattered around them, filling the entire square with power.

Anyone who gets close to the square will be slashed and injured by these sword energies.

Zhao Yuci was finding it increasingly difficult to cope. He looked at Ye Yu, who seemed to be handling things with ease, and knew in his heart that she must still be holding back.

So he decided to use his strongest move to see just how powerful Ye Yu was and whether he could withstand his sword strike.

He took a few steps back, gathered all his inner strength into his twin swords, and shouted, "Nine Heavens Sword Technique!"

An invisible sword aura gathered on the sword he held, and Zhao Yuci's face quickly turned pale, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

He slashed his sword at Ye Yu, and the incredibly swift sword energy swept towards Ye Yu like a storm, making her hair fly wildly.

A look of seriousness appeared in Ye Yu's eyes. She shouted, "Since you're using a sword technique, then take my sword strike!"

She channeled her spiritual power into the bone sword and met the sword energy that Zhao Yuci was swinging.

Her sword energy contained an inherent domineering aura and pressure, easily destroying Zhao Yuci's defense. The two sword energies connected and merged together, forming a huge energy field centered on the two of them.

The surrounding walls were scratched and battered, and the audience members who were sitting nearby had already fled long ago.

The two sword energies converged briefly, and Ye Yu's Overlord Sword Technique, with its fierce and powerful aura, shattered Zhao Yuci's sword energy and headed straight for him.

Zhao Shanyuan, who was sitting on the platform, had already stood up from his seat, and the next second he wanted to rush to the center of the square to save his grandson.

However, before he could make a move, Ye Yu waved his right hand, dispersing the sword energy.

However, Zhao Yuci was still knocked to the ground by the aftershock and vomited a mouthful of blood.

He said in a hoarse voice, "I lost."

Ye Yu nodded: "You flatter me."

The square erupted in cheers, most of them happy that Ye Yu had won and they could earn double their bets.

Zhao Yuxuan jumped off the platform, helped his younger brother up, and had the Ding family carry him to Doctor Zhang.

Some people in the audience, seeing the previous champion standing on the stage, started to jeer: "Can we have an extra match? Let the two champions compete and see who's really stronger!"

"Yes, let's have a competition."

"I bet Zhao Yuxuan is definitely a bit more skilled!"

"I bet on Ye Yu; she beat Zhao Yuci so easily."

"I still think it's Zhao Yuxuan; his cultivation level is higher than Ye Yu's."

Standing in the center of the square, Zhao Yuxuan and Ye Yu naturally heard the shouts around them.

However, Zhao Yuxuan ignored him. He raised his eyelids slightly, congratulated Ye Yu, and then turned and followed Zhao Yuci away.

Grandpa Ding walked to the front of the stage with a smile, stroking his beard, and announced loudly: "First place in the leadership transition martial arts competition, Ye Yu!"

A burst of applause erupted from the crowd once again.

Grandpa Ding then said, "This concludes the leadership transition meeting. Thank you all for your participation."

The onlookers gradually left the scene.

The reception room of the Ding family residence.

Ye Yu sat together with the Shen family members, as well as people from the two major sects and three major families.

Old Master Ding spoke first: "Sect Leader Shan, how is your disciple's injury?"

Shan Shuhai stared at Ye Yu with a sinister look and sneered, "Thanks to Ye Yu, all his meridians are broken, and he can no longer practice martial arts from now on."

Grandpa Ding coughed and looked at Ye Yu, saying, "Young friend Ye Yu, this is your fault. Why be so ruthless in a martial arts sparring match?"

Ye Yu smiled and said, "You can't blame me for that. Xu Kui threatened to teach me a lesson back then. Everyone knows his temper. If it were me, I might not have fared any better. It was all for self-preservation. Besides, swords have no eyes, and getting a few minor injuries is inevitable."

Zhao Shanyuan also spoke up: "However, what young friend Ye Yu said makes sense. In martial arts competitions, injuries are inevitable. Look at Yu Ci, isn't she lying with Doctor Zhang, still unconscious?"

"Your meridians are completely severed, and you can never practice martial arts again. Is that considered a minor injury?"

Bai Feng covered her mouth and laughed, "Isn't this just tit for tat? Your disciple and the others crippled the Shen family's boy before, and now the Shen family has hired Ye Yu to cripple your disciple. Isn't that fair?"

Shan Shuhai said, "The Shen family boy was crippled because he was in the wrong first, and I caught him red-handed."

Shen Congxing immediately explained, "Yun Chuan told us everything. He had just entered Huwei Gate and didn't even know the terrain. Xu Kui told him that you needed to find him, which is why he ran into you... He had just reached the entrance when Qi Qin led you inside."

Shan Shuhai frowned: "Is that really true?"

“This is absolutely true. At the time, there were two other disciples from the Tiger Tail Sect who overheard Xu Kui and Yun Chuan’s conversation.”

Grandpa Ding immediately said, "Oh dear, isn't this just a misunderstanding? That brat Xu Kui wanted to harm others, and he even framed his own master."

Wu Fan cleared his throat and said, "That's right, Sect Leader Shan. When will this cycle of revenge end? Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's just let it go."

Dan Shuhai looked at the crowd and sneered, "You must have received some benefits from Ye Yu, right? No, you're trying to win her over, aren't you? You're all speaking up for her."

Old Master Ding put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Sect Leader Shan, what everyone said makes sense. It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Let's just drop this matter."

There was a hint of favoritism towards the Shen family in his tone.

Upon hearing Shen Congxing's explanation, Shan Shuhai was somewhat convinced that Xu Kui was indeed capable of such an act.

However, Ye Yu didn't take him seriously, which still made him very angry.

However, it was obvious that the other four families were biased towards Ye Yu, and if he made a move against her now, they would definitely help him.

He scoffed and said, "If it was truly the work of that wicked disciple Xu Kui, then the matter concerning the Shen family is settled. If not..."

He stood up and left the reception hall before he finished speaking.

Shen Congxing led the Shen family members to the center and bowed to everyone, saying, "The Shen family thanks you all for speaking up for us."

Everyone waved their hands, and Old Master Ding told his servants to take the Shen family out to rest.
