I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 101: Nobody could have predicted this...

"...Hmm, it's alright."

"My memory is starting to waver."

On a mountaintop somewhere, Qin Yiyao stood atop a tree canopy, holding her sword, her face expressionless.

A subtle glint flickered in her eyes.

Watching the clash of powerful figures stirred up some vague memories of Qin Yiyao's previous life.

If only these memories could become clear again...

Qin Yiyao's cultivation path will be smoother!

Indeed, coming here this time was the right decision.

It was worth it for her to find the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop and specially ask President Feng Wuxin to send her her own personal spirit boat.

"I hope these two guys can finish quickly, otherwise it'll prevent me from going back to have dinner with my master..."

Qin Yiyao thought to herself.

If Gu Heng knew that his little girl missed his cooking so much, he would definitely be so happy he would cry tears of joy.

Seeing that Xiao Ling and Huang Li had both temporarily stopped fighting to calm their chaotic true energy, her gaze turned to the tree below. And just then, Qin Yiyao's eyes met those of another woman in black robes!

"…Why are you looking at me?"

Qin Yiyao narrowed her eyes, feeling a slight displeasure.

Why am I being stared at here?

Although she was wearing a black dress, wrapped in a black robe, and veiled, her slender figure was still undeniable.

The woman in black blinked her bright, peach-blossom eyes and chuckled, "Little sister, don't be angry. I just saw the sword in your hand and it looked familiar, like it was made by someone I know."

Qin Yiyao pouted.

"My sword has absolutely nothing to do with anyone you know."

This woman lies without batting an eye; how could anyone believe her?

Her sword was forged by her own master. This woman in black robes is mysterious and acts strangely; she's clearly not a good person. How could her master possibly be associated with someone like this?

Moreover, this woman in black robes seems to be only at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Little sister, don't be so harsh with your tone."

The woman in black robes teased deliberately, raising her voice slightly and brandishing the silver-white cloud-patterned soft sword in her hand, saying, "I'm not just making this up; I really do feel this familiarity. Why don't you take a look at my sword too?"

"dont see."

Qin Yiyao refused decisively. However, although she verbally refused, her gaze still occasionally drifted over.

That soft sword seemed to emit a ringing sound...

It has a weapon spirit!

It's a divine weapon of the highest rank!

Rejected, the woman in black robes did not press the matter, but simply smiled and said, "Alright, why don't we wait until this duel is over before we talk again?"

After saying that, she walked to the other side, found a spot, and continued to watch the battle in Jingku Valley.

"...What a strange woman."

Qin Yiyao muttered to herself.

This mysterious woman's cultivation level isn't high, but her weapon is anything but inferior—a Saint-grade divine weapon...

At this moment, in the Valley of Startled Dryness.

Both Xiao Ling and Huang Li calmed down, and at this moment, Huang Li laughed loudly: "Haha! Xiao Ling, not bad, you did give me some surprises, but in the end, I still win this duel!"

Immediately, he made a fist with his right hand, and brown Dao power quickly condensed, eventually turning into a blood-red greatsword without a hilt in his hand!

"Ok?"

Xiao Ling frowned. The moment the blood-red greatsword appeared, Huang Li's aura suddenly intensified, becoming sharp and ruthless, as if he had become a different person. A sudden gust of wind swept through Jingku Valley, as if the sword energy had gained its own will!

This move is not simple!

"Let me show you the true meaning of the Desolate Blade that I have spent a hundred years comprehending!"

Huang Li no longer held back.

He directly unleashed his most powerful and trump card!

Upon seeing Huang Li unleash the 'Blood Blade' technique, both the Nianling Sect and the Huangdao Sect experienced drastic changes in expression, one side filled with shock and the other with ecstatic joy.

"Is this the true meaning of the Wild Blade!?"

Zhu Ling's eyes widened, her face filled with shock.

"Such a powerful sword strike...it's simply terrifying!"

Elder Mu Chong was also sweating profusely.

This "True Meaning of the Desolate Blade" is the top secret technique of the Desolate Blade Sect. It was created by the first sect leader of the Desolate Blade Sect. However, over the years, no one else has been able to master it except for him.

This is something that most cultivators in the Sunflame Dynasty have heard of.

This top-tier method of a prestigious sect could only be mastered by its creator, which became a laughing stock in the martial arts world.

But no one expected that Huang Li would comprehend the "True Meaning of the Desolate Blade"!

And at the moment of enlightenment, Huang Li broke through the Tribulation Transcending stage! From then on, the "laughing stock of the Jianghu" of Huangdao Sect was no longer a laughing stock.

Even King Yanxuan's eyes flashed with a glint of light, and then he nodded with a slight smile, seemingly quite satisfied with the strength that Huang Li had displayed.

"Hahaha! Xiao Ling, let your blood be a sacrifice to my 'Desolate Blade'!"

Huang Li laughed loudly. Seeing that Xiao Ling did not move, he thought that Xiao Ling was frightened. Without waiting any longer, he raised his blood-red broadsword and slashed at Xiao Ling!

Bloodlust permeates the air, and desolation grows rampant!

A blood-red blade of light, no more than ten feet long, swirled with fierce winds and slashed down towards Xiao Ling!

But after this slash was made, most people gasped in surprise.

What kind of terrifying power is this?

King Yanxuan narrowed his eyes; Huang Li's ultimate move was indeed formidable. He turned his gaze to Xiao Ling, wanting to see what countermeasures he had, but... he only saw Xiao Ling make no move. He seemed very nervous, and indeed he seemed very nervous, but he just didn't make a move!

Who would be spacing out at a time like this?

"Get out of the way!"

Zhu Ling's face turned pale, and she immediately shouted.

The power contained in this blade of light will definitely cleave Xiao Ling in two!

Their Supreme Elder remained completely still, prompting sighs and cries of surprise from the disciples and onlookers alike.

The Supreme Elder of the Nianling Sect must be terrified.

They didn't even try to dodge it?

To give up resistance and simply face death?

Just as the blade's edge was about to strike Xiao Ling's head, a faint smile appeared on his lips as he said indifferently, "That's all?" Then, Xiao Ling roared angrily! Layers of fine brown scales immediately appeared all over his body, and along with them, his aura surged. Suddenly, everyone felt as if a dragon's roar echoed throughout Jingku Valley!

He stretched out his hand, his five fingers forming a palm, and forcefully grasped the blood-red blade light that was falling from the sky!

Then, crush it!

This happened so fast that before anyone could react, Xiao Ling had already firmly blocked Huang Li's ultimate attack!

King Yanxuan stood up abruptly, his expression extremely solemn.

He believed himself to be the strongest here, but the changes in Xiao Ling were somewhat unexpected.

"What...what's going on?!"

"He actually caught that fatal blow with his bare hands?!"

puff-

The blade's edge was crushed, and Huang Li spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale and weak.

The true meaning of the Desolate Blade has been broken!

Silence reigned all around.

No one could have imagined that Xiao Ling's trump card was not some top-tier technique of the Nianling Sect, but the "Ancient Dragon Physique"!

It's all thanks to that young master Gu, who gave him the eighth-grade Qianlong Pill!
