Chapter 4: Even with countless opponents

  "Haha, great! Extremely good! Just relying on a broken sword! Daring to provoke me, a useless Cloud family member. Kill or be killed, I'll see if the old ancestor of the Cloud family dares to come to Lingyun Mountain for revenge!" Xiao Jing Tian sneered coldly, his palms radiating energy, and no one dared to approach within a hundred meters, even his followers retreated more than a hundred meters away.

  "Go all out here, it seems that Lingyun Mountain is not yet strong enough to this point. Xiao Jingtian, go outside the city, if I, Yun Yiqiu, lose today, the precious medicine will belong to you, and even if you kill me, I won't frown! If I lose..." Yun Yiqiu confirmed his opponent's identity without any hesitation and directly declared war.

  In the main city, a small disturbance might not even catch the attention of law enforcement, but with the destructive power of these two, it's too overwhelming. Daring to engage in such a fierce battle on the main road, even if both families are prominent households of Purple Twilight City, they would still be locked up in a small dark room for several years.

  "Haha, I lost. Everything on me belongs to you now!" Xiao Jing Tian sneered and turned around to walk towards the city gate. He wasn't worried that Yun Qian Jian wouldn't keep his appointment. In this Zi Xiao City, no one dared to play tricks on him.

  The two rows of people on the main road were densely packed, staring at Xiao Jing Tian with fear in their eyes. When they looked at Yun Yixiao, some eyes showed a hint of mockery, some regret, and some relief.

  Yun Yijian looked at the old man's remorseful face, and a warm feeling rose in his heart. Ten years of feelings, after all, were not just those of a passerby.

  "Old man, give me the precious medicine. You go back to the Yun family first and have my father send someone to bring your family members into the Yun estate. I'm not worried that Xiao Jing Tian will take revenge on you, but rather worry about those followers behind him." Yun Yijian took over the precious medicine, also feeling a bit regretful. If he had known earlier, it would have been better to accept it from the start. After all, the 10,000 silver coins could be compensated later, otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten into this trouble.

  "Be careful, young master. If it's really not possible, then just give him the precious medicine. I can always go dig some more. Usually, there's nothing much to do, and I make a living by helping you find herbs. This matter is nothing to me, no need to...". The old man trailed off, as Cloud Sword's strong personality was well-known in Purple Twilight City - he wouldn't back down when being bullied.

  "Don't worry, old man. With this precious medicine, it's no problem for your physical body to advance to the Condensed Pulse stage. If all else fails, I'll swallow this divine ginseng myself and cripple that guy!" A sly smile spread across Yun Yixiao's face. The precious medicine was something he had obtained with great difficulty, how could he possibly give it away so easily?

  Stepping out of the main city, a burst of energy exploded behind him, spreading rapidly from one to ten and then to hundreds. A large group of cultivators followed, gathering at the top of the Wind Cloud List, even some of the top experts on the Hidden Dragon List rushed out of Zixiao City.

  Yun Yijian's thumb kept flicking the hilt of his sword, his firm footsteps stepping further and further away, his eyes level, his face relaxed.

  Outside the Zi Xiao City, it's crowded with people, the main character hasn't arrived yet, almost everyone who came to watch the excitement has arrived. Seeing the cultivators gathering together, Xiao Jing Tian not only didn't get angry, but even raised his head proudly. Ten years ago, he looked down on Zi Xiao City, ranking first in both lists, and was admired by these people. Now that he's back again, he wants them to still look up to him!

  Yun Yijian cut through the crowd and found that several people on the Wind Cloud List were there, including the seventh and tenth places on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

  Looking at a few people, can be considered as acquaintances, Yun Yijian nodded, the other party also just lightly nodded.

  "Little Sword, you little scamp, thinking of defying the heavens? Not seen for a few days and yet you've challenged the top masters on the Wind Cloud List and the Sealed King Potential List from ten years ago. How is this possible? Has your physical body broken through again?" A young man with a robust physique, overflowing with vigor, his battle strength surging, his aura radiating outward, bringing endless pressure to those around him.

  "Wow, Shen Guang Wu Yue, who is second on the potential list of kings, has also arrived! Today won't be peaceful!"

  "Divine Light May has arrived, and the number one on the Potential List, Leng Han, will definitely come! What's this rhythm? Is the Sealed King Potential List going to be rearranged?"

  "May, you've come too? This time it's not me who wants to challenge, but him who provoked me. He dares to snatch my things, humph! Doesn't he know my creed? What belongs to me will ultimately be mine, no one can take it away. What doesn't belong to me, as long as I set my eyes on it, will still be mine in the end!" Little Sword smiled at the young man, seemingly in a good mood, teasing him.

  Shenguang Wu Yue was one of his few friends in the city of Zixiao, someone who could call him brother, and their feelings for each other were extremely deep.

  "This Xiao Jing Tian gained fame early on and has many followers, I'm afraid you'll be beaten by the crowd, so I came." Sheng Guang Wu said calmly with a shrug.

  "With my three-foot green sword, even if I have thousands of opponents, what can they do to me? Let's go drink together first, don't run away yet. When the cold wind comes, we'll slaughter him in one go." Yun Qianjian said as he strode towards the distance.

  Zi Xiao Mountain is the only large mountain outside Zi Xiao City, with a continuous mountain range that resembles a coiled dragon about to fly, with a majestic momentum that seems to pierce the sky. It was also because of this that Zi Xiao City was established here.

  Xiao Jing Tian stood at the summit of a mountain, overlooking the land below. His meridians were fully open, and his technique emitted dazzling divine light, making him seem like a war god, attracting everyone's attention. He wanted to instantly kill Yun Qian Jian, he wanted Zi Xiao City to remember him forever.

  Treading the summit, wielding a sword, Yun Yijian's footsteps are as swift as flying, every step shakes the mountain rocks to pieces, the speed is getting faster and faster, not yet close, the atmosphere of battle is spreading, the sword energy and pulse energy intertwine, tree branches turn into powder, boulders fly horizontally.

  "Whoosh...whoosh..."

  A flash of sword light, a burst of sword energy soaring into the sky, the green glow shot out, causing everyone to be unable to open their eyes, only a few people stared at the battlefield with both eyes fixed.

  "This is Yun Yi Jian's famous sword technique, Chi Xiao Sword Technique! Indeed, its reputation is not in vain." Someone said a sentence, and everyone nodded in agreement.

  "A tiny piece of trash didn't even open the gate and drew his sword at me, looking for death! King of Tyrants, charge!"

  Xiao Jing Tian's energy surged into the clouds, his veins and arteries expanding, as his fingertips suddenly shot towards Yun Ye Jian's Qing Feng Sword.

  This is the terror of the pulse condensation period, where the pulse force condenses into a substance, and every attack transforms into a substance. Even if separated by hundreds of meters, the pulse energy can cause massive damage.

  Rumble... Rumble... Boom!

  The surrounding giant trees were broken at the waist, flying sand and rocks, purple light wrapped around, killing intent appeared, disturbing the Purple Cloud Mountain, the pulse beast escaped, eagles struck the sky, screaming continuously.

  "A person in the initial stage of condensing their pulse is nothing but this, what genius, in my eyes, there is no genius! There is only whether or not one is clever enough!" Yun Yijian coldly shouted, his sword flower shaking, forming three lotus flowers that shot straight towards his opponent's pulse gate.

  Three lotus flowers look beautiful, but everyone knows that they are treacherous. Even a cultivator in the Condensing Pulse stage will be cut by sword energy if they touch the lotus flowers.

  The summit of the great mountain was flattened, the body and giant trees were crushed, a huge vortex formed around it, the sky above was dark and smoky, people below stared with all their might, afraid to miss any excitement, but unfortunately, only a few could see clearly.

  Shenguang May has already run to the top of another mountain, sitting cross-legged on a giant stone, gazing at each other from afar, with a wild grass still in his mouth, nodding continuously.

  "I didn't expect this guy to be so powerful, his physical body is at the peak of the opening meridian period, and he can already contend with someone who has opened four meridian gates in the initial stage of the condensing meridian period. What is the origin of the Chi Xiao sword technique? Why don't all the major aristocratic families have this sword technique?" Shenguang muttered to himself in May.

  "You think if this guy were to open his meridian gates, wouldn't he sweep through the young generation of Purple Night City?"

  Suddenly, a soft sigh came from behind Guan Wu Yue, the voice was extremely pleasant and gave people a sense of intimacy.

  "What the f**k, you piece of trash! When did you come? Can't even make a sound while walking?" Shen Guang May 1st jumped three feet high, reacting extremely quickly. Six meridians on his body opened automatically, including two main meridians. A light circle enveloped his entire body, swirling outward in circles.

  Shenguang May fixed his eyes on him, and it wasn't Han who was ranked first on the Potential List? His face was as demonic as his talent, refined like jade, transcending the mundane world. Wearing a black robe that accentuated his slender figure, he looked even more handsome and elegant in his tight-fitting battle armor.

  His eyebrows were stern, his mouth was thin, and his cold eyes gleamed with a fierce light. He sneered, "You're the one who's careless, getting close to me without noticing my footsteps. You're asking for death!"

  "I... I was too engrossed, cough, let's continue watching. Xiaojian seems to be at a disadvantage, the gap is too big. Even if his physical strength and swordsmanship are exceptional, without the support of his inner energy, he can't compete with someone in the Condensing Pulse stage."

  Shenguang smiled awkwardly in May and immediately changed the subject.

  "No need for you to tell me, I was on that mountain opposite yours earlier and saw you coming over here." said the cold and unfriendly voice.

  ……。。

  Look again at the mountain peak opposite, no longer with sharp edges, it has been flattened, and the remaining branches and leaves are scattered all over the place. The battle robes of the two men were stained with blood, some their own, some that of their enemies. Xiao Jing Tian's eyes were filled with a fierce aura, he couldn't believe that he had spent so long fighting a child who hadn't even opened his meridians and still hadn't taken him down, and in the process, got himself covered in wounds.

  Yun Yijian's situation was even more dire, his tiger mouth was shattered, his left shoulder was pierced through, he didn't open the pulse gate, and yet he still managed to withstand it for so long, which is absolutely a rare feat.

  "You've enraged me! I'll take your life with one strike! Floating Cloud Pulse Technique!" Xiao Jing Tian went mad, his voice becoming even more terrifying, his face twisted in a grotesque manner. The internal energy burst out of his body, covering the entire mountain, leaving no room for escape.

  Everyone stood up in shock, staring at the mountain top, Han and Sheng were silent, staring tightly at each other.
