CHAPTER 468: FOUR HUNDRED SIXTY-EIGHT, MY SWORD IS CALLED DRAGON-BREAKING SWORD.

"Haha, this guy, he’s really disgracing the Qingshan Sect!"

The laughter filled with irony came from a member of the Jade Pot Sect, causing the faces of the Qingshan Sect disciples to be unbearably awkward, as Mu Xuan’s performance at the moment was truly disappointing.

Just now, Yun Xiao showed great prowess with a single kick, leaving Fei Yan uncertain of life or death. Everyone wanted to regain their honor, and Mu Xuan, who stepped up without hesitation, clearly gave them a glimmer of hope.

However, under Yun Xiao’s single remark, Mu Xuan, though not explicitly stating he dared not to compete in terms of physical strength, the implication was already crystal clear—he was obviously intimidated by the latter’s formidable kick.

But the bystanders didn’t know that Mu Xuan truly did not dare to contend with Yun Xiao in physical strength; he knew deeply the physical strength of Fei Yan—kicking him into serious injury with one kick was still beyond him.

In that case, why bother using one’s weakness to attack the opponent’s strength? If careless, ending up like Fei Yan would truly be a tearless regret.

"What? Yun Xiao, as a direct disciple of the Jade Pot Sect Master, surely doesn’t have nothing other than physical strength, does he?"

Mu Xuan paid no mind to the audience below the stage as he continued, impressing even himself with his quick wit after he spoke.

"If Brother Mu Xuan is interested, then I can only comply with the guest’s request!"

Yun Xiao, as if not catching the veiled meaning in Mu Xuan’s words, nodded and said, "What would Brother Mu Xuan like to compete in? Our Jade Pot Sect specializes in many areas: curing diseases, alchemy and medicine refining, deadly concealed weapons; feel free to choose anything, how does that sound?"

The young man in coarse clothes spoke confidently on stage, which looked like a slap-back response to Mu Xuan’s earlier claim that Yun Xiao was "nothing beyond his physical strength." As a Meridian Refining Sect, the Jade Pot Sect surely had much more expertise than the Qingshan Sect.

"The Jade Pot Sect has many Meridian Masters, if we were to compare Meridian Refining Technique, I fear Yun Xiao would win unrightfully. How about we drop that..."

Mu Xuan was no fool, naturally, he wouldn’t compare Meridian Refining Techniques with Yun Xiao, but instead, his gaze shifted, glancing at Yun Xiao’s back, before saying, "I see Brother Yun Xiao has a divine weapon on his back; how about we compare combat with weapons?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Mu Xuan’s suggestion suddenly, the people of Qingshan Sect hadn’t felt much yet, but all the Inner Sect Disciples of the Jade Pot Sect showed an extremely strange expression, while a déjà vu scene popped into their minds.

Previously, during the final duel in the Spiritual Chick Battle List, it seemed that Yun Xiao had used the wooden sword on his back to chop off Yue Qi’s right arm, hadn’t he?

At that time, Yun Xiao had claimed that wooden sword was a divine weapon, although when he first said it, no one believed him until later when this inconspicuous wooden sword showed its formidable power.

The reason for everyone’s peculiar gaze was that those from the Jade Pot Sect knew it indeed was a divine weapon, and they also knew that the "divine weapon" term used by Mu Xuan was merely mocking Yun Xiao.

How could anyone who hadn’t seen the power of the Dragon Taming Sword and just saw an ordinary wooden sword, think that it could genuinely be a sharp and powerful divine weapon?

On a nearby loft, the faces of several great elders of the Jade Pot Sect also turned extremely strange, seeming like they wanted to laugh yet forcefully holding it back, leaving Li Feng and several others rather puzzled.

"Sect Master Yu Shu, Yun Xiao is your direct disciple after all, how come he doesn’t even have a decent weapon?"

Li Feng, naturally unable to recognize the Dragon Taming Sword, questioned out loud, causing the faces of the strong figures of the Jade Pot Sect to look even more peculiar.

"Sect Master Li Feng, don’t underestimate that wooden sword; it truly is a... um... divine weapon!"

Thinking back to Yun Xiao’s words during the final duel of the Spiritual Chick Battle List, Yu Shu suddenly let slip a bit of childish spirit, repeating those words verbatim.

With such words, how could Li Feng believe it, even from such distance he could sense it was just a common wooden sword, perhaps too blunt even for killing chickens?

The people from the Jade Pot Sect were truly struggling to hold back their laughter, but witnessing such drama unfold was naturally a delight for them; the Qingshan Sect members came with great momentum but would end up humiliated, and that was something even more worth looking forward to.

On the stone platform, after Mu Xuan finished speaking, he reached toward his waist, and immediately, a sparkling long sword appeared in his right hand.

"It’s Brother Mu Xuan’s Spiritual Rank Advanced weapon: the Dragon-breaking Sword!"

As soon as Mu Xuan’s sword appeared, cries of amazement erupted from those belonging to the Qingshan Sect—clearly, they knew quite a lot about that long sword.

A Spiritual Rank Advanced weapon was extremely precious in the Hidden Dragon Continent, though the name "Dragon-breaking Sword" might not inspire respect given this is the Nine Dragons Continent.

"Brother Yun Xiao, my sword is called ’Dragon-breaking Sword,’ with a grade that has reached Spiritual Rank Advanced; using it to compete against your divine weapon shouldn’t be a disgrace, right?"

Mu Xuan’s face beamed with pride, the reason he proposed this method of competition was not without preparation; his biggest reliance was this Spiritual Rank Advanced Dragon-breaking Sword.

"Hey, what a coincidence, my sword is actually called the Dragon Taming Sword!"

A peculiar glint flashed through Yun Xiao’s eyes as he chuckled softly and drew the wooden sword from behind his back, swinging it effortlessly as if it were weightless.

"Dragon Taming Sword?"

Upon hearing this name, Mu Xuan’s face revealed a cold smirk, and he shouted, "Then let me see whether your Dragon Taming Sword is more formidable, or my Dragon-breaking Sword is mightier!"

With a loud cry, Mu Xuan’s figure shifted slightly, and he dashed towards Yun Xiao, slashing down furiously with the Dragon-breaking Sword in his hand, aiming to cleave Yun Xiao in two with its formidable might.

"Sigh!"

Watching Mu Xuan’s movements, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but sigh lightly, then slightly raised his right arm, directing the tip of his wooden sword towards the swiftly descending Dragon-breaking Sword.

Witnessing this scene, the disciples of the Jade Pot Sect were filled with anticipation. In contrast, the disciples of the Qingshan Sect showed a hint of pleasure.

For these disciples of the Qingshan Sect, how could that inconspicuous wooden sword possibly withstand the Advanced Spiritual Rank Dragon-breaking Sword? They probably thought that the boy was about to be decapitated.

However, everyone seemed to have overlooked one fact: if the sword in Yun Xiao’s hand was truly an ordinary wooden sword, how could he dare to use such a weapon to block an Advanced Spiritual Rank Dragon-breaking Sword?

Crack!

Under the various gazes of the crowd, the Dragon Taming Sword finally clashed with the Dragon-breaking Sword. A faint sound reached everyone’s ears, followed immediately by a scene that left them astonished.

The so-called Advanced Spiritual Rank Dragon-breaking Sword, upon contact with Yun Xiao’s wooden sword, snapped right in two, its tip not even bouncing far, as if it were tofu, falling onto the stone platform.

Initially, in the hearts of Qingshan’s people, it should have been the worn wooden sword that broke, but how did it end up that the Dragon-breaking Sword was easily sliced in two?

The Dragon-breaking Sword, famed for being able to sever a Divine Dragon, was now effortlessly cut by a nondescript wooden sword, a silent mockery indeed.

"Hehe, Brother Mu Xuan, it seems that my Dragon Taming Sword is a bit more formidable, isn’t it?"

A light chuckle rang out beside Mu Xuan’s ear, followed by a flash of dark light, and then a chilling sensation on his right shoulder, as his right forearm was silently cut off by the Dragon Taming Sword.

Just moments ago, the cheerful, roughly-dressed youth mercilessly severed his opponent’s arm; such temperament and strength inevitably chilled all disciples of the Qingshan Sect.

"Did we come to provoke the Jade Pot Sect today mistakenly?"

This thought arose in the minds of all the talented disciples from Qingshan Sect; even though they had been singing praises on their journey, the situation drastically changed for the worse upon this youth named Yun Xiao’s return, crumbling effortlessly.

Qingshan Sect’s third genius, Fei Yan, was kicked into a coma; the second genius, Mu Xuan, who thought himself highly intelligent and challenged to compare weapons, now had his own arm cleanly cut off by someone.

Looking at the people of the Jade Pot Sect, they were also somewhat unable to recover from the shock for a moment; it reminded them vaguely of a past event on the Spiritual Chick Battle List, where the Poison Vein genius Yue Qi also had an arm cut off by Yun Xiao.

"Could it be that cutting off an enemy’s arm is a special hobby of Brother Yun Xiao?"

Many had this thought in their minds, and seeing the once arrogant Mu Xuan now in painful agony, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction internally.

"Ah!"

On the stone platform, Mu Xuan, who initially hadn’t felt the pain, staggered slightly, then a severe, unspeakable pain overwhelmed him, causing him to scream out loud.

The sound traveled far, silencing the disciples of Qingshan Sect, instilling an uncontrollable fear in their minds; the seemingly harmless youth was actually ruthless to the extreme.

Whoosh!

A figure suddenly appeared on the stone platform, not unfamiliar to Yun Xiao—it was Qingshan Sect’s top genius, Li Yue.

"Yun Xiao, we were just having a sparring match, how could you be so ruthless?"

Li Yue, supporting the staggering Mu Xuan, turned with a face filled with barely concealed rage. Mu Xuan, now missing an arm just like the former Yue Qi, would likely plummet from the pedestal of genius.

Mu Xuan and Fei Yan, both geniuses from the Jade Pot Sect participating in the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, but one was kicked into a coma by Yun Xiao, and the other had an arm severed; their dreams of making a mark at this Conference were cruelly extinguished by Yun Xiao.
