I cultivate the Chaos Technique

Above the Lingyun Sword Sect, the winds and clouds shifted, and terrifying sword energy filled the air. The confrontation between Xuan Kongzi and Ling Jianzu, two Nascent Soul Grand Perfection experts, made the entire Lingyun Sword Sect feel as if it were on the brink of an abyss. Zhang Yifan and the others on the arena were protected by Xuan Kongzi, but the killing intent permeating the air made it difficult for them to breathe.

Ling Jianzu hovered in mid-air, his spiritual power surging around him like a raging tide. His gaze was fixed on Xuan Kongzi, his killing intent as deep as an abyss. Xuan Kongzi stood on the ground, his eyes slightly narrowed, his aura as steady as a mountain, guarding all the disciples below the arena.

"Xuan Kongzi, are you really going to fight me with swords over this menial disciple?" Ling Jianzu asked coldly, his voice like thunder, shaking heaven and earth.

“Senior Brother Ling, I will give you an explanation for this matter. But today, Zhang Yifan is a disciple of the Lingyun Sword Sect, and I cannot allow you to kill at will.” Xuan Kongzi said in a deep voice, his tone calm but revealing an undeniable determination.

Ling Jianzu sneered, his killing intent palpable: "An explanation? Today I'll see what kind of explanation you, Xuan Kongzi, can give me!"

Before he finished speaking, Ling Jianzu swung his longsword, unleashing a burst of sword energy that blazed like a rainbow, slashing straight at Xuan Kongzi. This sword strike seemed to tear through the void, the air crackling with a piercing sound, and a powerful storm of spiritual energy surged forth.

Xuan Kongzi frowned, swung his longsword, and a supple sword aura met the attack. The two forces collided instantly, unleashing a deafening roar. The violent spiritual energy surged like a giant wave, sweeping in all directions, and the buildings around the arena collapsed instantly.

"boom--"

The first clash between two Nascent Soul Grand Perfection experts shook the entire Lingyun Sword Sect. Many disciples with weaker cultivation levels were unable to withstand the terrifying aftershocks, and were sent flying backward, severely injured and collapsing to the ground. Some even lost their breath and died on the spot.

"Retreat! All disciples, get away from the battlefield!" A Nascent Soul stage peak master shouted from outside the arena, directing his disciples to retreat quickly to avoid being caught in the aftermath of the battle.

However, even under the protection of the peak master and elders, many disciples were still injured or even killed. The intensity of the battle between Ling Jianzu and Xuan Kongzi far exceeded their expectations; every clash of their swords brought forth a massive shockwave.

"Is this what a battle between Nascent Soul Grand Perfection experts is like? It's terrifying!" an outer disciple murmured in horror, his legs trembling and unable to move.

"Hurry! This is not a place for us!" Another disciple grabbed him and hurriedly retreated to a more distant location.

At the same time, the other peak masters and elders of the Lingyun Sword Sect also took action. They stood on the outer perimeter, working together to build a protective barrier to try to block the aftershocks of the battle and prevent more disciples from suffering unnecessary disasters. Even so, the ground around the arena had already cracked, and many disciples died tragically under the shockwaves of the sword energy.

"Supreme Sect Master, stop! Your battle with Xuan Kongzi has already affected innocent disciples. If this continues, the Lingyun Sword Sect may be destroyed!" An elder couldn't help but shout, his tone filled with anger.

However, Ling Jianzu remained unmoved. His sword energy grew even more ferocious, and a violent force swept across the heavens and earth. "Shut up! If I don't kill Xuan Kongzi and that servant disciple today, my heart will not be at peace!" Ling Jianzu roared, and the sword energy in his hand swept towards Xuan Kongzi like a tornado.

A cold glint flashed in Xuan Kongzi's eyes. He held his longsword horizontally in front of his chest and instantly unleashed a powerful sword aura. The sword aura surged like ocean waves and collided head-on with Ling Jianzu's violent sword aura.

"boom--"

Another deafening roar erupted as the two forces collided once more, causing the entire world to tremble. A violent shockwave swept outwards, shattering the rocks surrounding the arena and sending them flying in all directions. Even the peak masters and elders who were working together to maintain order on the sidelines were forced to retreat by the powerful force.

"This is bad, we can't hold on much longer!" An elder's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly circulated his spiritual power and barely managed to block the shockwave.

"Retreat!" a Nascent Soul Realm peak master shouted, leading more disciples to retreat deeper into the sect. However, even so, many disciples still lost their lives in this battle, screams echoing everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong stench of blood.

Below the arena, Fang Xue and the other disciples had already retreated to a distance, but they still watched the battle on the field with tense expressions. Zhang Yifan, protected behind Xuan Kongzi, had eyes full of worry and guilt. "It's all because of me that the sect has fallen into such a crisis."

"Junior brother, it's not your fault," Fang Xue comforted him, her gaze fixed on the two powerful figures in the arena, her heart filled with shock.

The battle continued. Every clash between Ling Jianzu and Xuan Kongzi shook the heavens and the earth like thunder. The violent spiritual energy collided continuously in the air, forming shockwaves that could destroy the world.

"The battle between Supreme Elder Ling Jianzu and Supreme Elder Xuan Kongzi has surpassed all of our imaginations," a core disciple murmured to himself, his face filled with awe and fear.

"Yes, this kind of battle is probably only something that a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage can participate in. We can only watch helplessly from the sidelines," another disciple said in a low voice, his voice filled with a sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, outside the gates of the Lingyun Sword Sect, several hidden yet powerful auras were secretly observing. These auras belonged to Nascent Soul Realm experts from various sects; they watched quietly from afar, their gazes fixed on the battlefield between Ling Jianzu and Xuan Kongzi.

"The Lingyun Sword Sect is in turmoil. It seems this is truly a good opportunity for us to make our move," a hoarse voice said in a low voice, its tone full of schadenfreude.

"No rush. Let's wait until they're both severely weakened before we make our move," another voice calmly replied, clearly already plotting in secret.

In the sky, the battle between Ling Jianzu and Xuan Kongzi intensified. Ling Jianzu brandished his longsword, its sword energy like a dragon, seemingly capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart. Xuan Kongzi, on the other hand, used softness to overcome hardness, his swordsmanship exquisite, his sword energy flowing like water, unpredictable, deflecting Ling Jianzu's attacks one by one.

"Ling Jianzu truly lives up to his title as the Supreme Sect Master. His sword energy is so violent that it could probably flatten a mountain with ease!" A disciple exclaimed from afar, his voice filled with awe.

“Yes, Master Xuan Kong’s swordsmanship is equally impressive. His sword energy is as supple as water, yet it is sharp and powerful. The two are evenly matched!” another disciple said in a deep voice, his face full of admiration.

Just then, Ling Jianzu suddenly roared, swung his longsword, and unleashed a dragon of sword energy that hurtled straight at Xuan Kongzi. Xuan Kongzi's gaze sharpened, and he raised his longsword, instantly unleashing a powerful sword energy to meet Ling Jianzu's attack.

"boom--"

The two forces collided once more, unleashing a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth. The surge of spiritual energy swept outwards like a tsunami, causing the entire Lingyun Sword Sect mountain range to tremble violently under the impact.

Below the arena, the disciples were all deathly pale, their eyes filled with fear and shock. The elders and peak masters outside were barely holding them off, but everyone's expression was extremely grave.

"The attacks of Elder Lingjian are becoming increasingly fierce. Can Elder Xuankongzi withstand them?" a disciple couldn't help but ask, his face full of worry.

"Elder Xuan Kongzi will definitely hold on; he is the pillar of our sect!" another disciple said through gritted teeth, his eyes full of trust.

In the sky, the battle continued. Every collision between Xuan Kongzi and Ling Jianzu was like a clash between two enormous forces in the world, with sword energy crisscrossing and the world trembling.
