Chapter Thirty-Five Severing Sword Cultivator's Flying Sword
"Sorry, I cooked this meal just to return a favor to one of them, I don't owe you any favors, why should I cook for you?" Sun Ming was regretting the crystal stone he had just drunk, and at this time Ye Hua came to ask him, naturally hitting a snag.
Sun Ming's words directly choked back what Ye Hua wanted to say, and Ye Hua's expression at this time was as ugly as it could be, but he couldn't lose his temper with Tian Kui and Yun Lei by their side.
"Senior brother, don't make things difficult for him. If he doesn't like it, then don't ask him to do it. Ling Ming was invited by our master, and I'm not even qualified to ask him." Tian Kui said while eating.
Ye Hua's encounter was seen by a group of so-called young and talented individuals, and finally, one handsome and elegant man with a tall and majestic appearance walked up to Ye Hua and said to Sun Ming with an unfriendly face.
"You're just a cook, even if you're in the Golden Elixir stage, you're still just a cook. What's this, does Elder Ye think highly of you and let you cook for us? You don't even give him face?" The handsome man in fine clothes said loudly.
"What does it have to do with you whether I give face or not?" Sun Ming looked at this so-called young hero with a sullen expression, thinking 'this guy is probably the same kind of person as Ling Xing and Ling Yu, what's it to me if I don't bother with you'.
"I'm ordering you, make us a table of dishes just like this place." The man in the fancy clothes said with unparalleled arrogance.
"Why should I agree with you, who are you? Do I know you? Am I familiar with you?" Sun Ming was depressed and thought to himself 'This so-called genius, young hero, how can they all have such a bad attitude, thinking everyone has to revolve around them?'
"I don't know which small sect you, Lingming, come from. I reckon your sect has never received a visit from the Holy Alliance's Inspector in all these years. Fifty years ago, the Holy Alliance stipulated that Golden Elixir and lower-level cultivators must show respect to any cultivator above the Yuan Ying stage. If not, they can be punished at will. Alchemists and artifact refiners are exempt." Ye Hua said with a cold smile, his eyes revealing even more disdain.
"Although you are our Ling Xiao's guest, this is the Holy Alliance's rule. This Brother Xuan Mingzi is one of the few top-notch young masters of the Qing Ming Sword Sect, his cultivation has already reached the stage of breaking through, not showing respect to him would be violating the Holy Alliance's rules. Ah, if only you were at the Yuan Ying stage, that would be great, even if it was just the initial stage, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Ah." Ye Hua, with a pitiful expression, hypocritically looked at Sun Ming, while his eyes secretly squeezed towards Xuan Mingzi.
Sun Ming gave Tian Kui Yun Lei a look, indicating that they should not reveal his identity as an equipment refiner, while also saying with great fanfare.
"What's wrong, can't even handle the Qi Refining stage? Relying on your high cultivation to bully people here, what kind of skill is that? If you're so capable, let's compare notes. If I lose, I'll cook for you, do whatever you want, it's up to you. But if you lose, you have to pay 100 top-grade spirit stones. Are you daring enough?"
When everyone heard Sun Ming's words, they were all stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, of course, including the big and small Ye Hua and his gang.
"Am I hearing this right? This Golden Elixir Realm junior is going to challenge Master Xuanxuanzi, has he been scared silly or what?" Young Master Jia asked.
"What's he thinking, let's just wait and eat some good food later. This silly guy actually dares to challenge the sword cultivator with the highest attack power, who is also two levels higher than him in cultivation. I hope that Brother Xuanzi won't use too much force later, or else we'll all be left without a chef." Young Junjie said with a smile, and his words triggered another burst of laughter.
"Lingming, are you alright? That's a Sword Cultivator, and one in the Out-of-Body period at that! Has your brain gone bad? What happened to you, how am I supposed to explain this to the Elder?" Yun Lei said with a worried expression.
"Why don't you just cook a meal for them instead? You currently have no chance of winning against the Upper Sword, it's better to reveal your identity as an Alchemist." Tian Kui transmitted his voice.
"No need, I have a good grasp of this matter. The identity of the Alchemy Master will be made public, but not now." Sun Ming said with confidence to Tian Kui through voice transmission.
Tian Kui looked at Sun Ming's gaze, suddenly, her small face turned red, and she lowered her head, which actually made Sun Ming feel a bit depressed.
"Alright, kid, since you're asking for it, don't blame me for bullying you." Xuanxuanzi said recklessly after seeing Ye Hua's expression.
A group of people walked out of Tianxiangju, left the city and rode their swords to fly over the sea, and soon everyone stopped on the sea.
"Xuan Xuanzi, Shixiong, where is that Lingming? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Has he deserted at the last moment?" Ye Hua said.
"He's here, just a bit slower with his swordsmanship." Xuanxuanzi's disdainful tone sparked another round of laughter from the surrounding crowd. Amidst this chorus of laughter, Sun Mingsheng and Tiankuai Yunlei rode their flying swords at a leisurely pace to arrive in this sea region.
Looking at the flying sword under Sun Ming's feet, Xuan Xuanzi's only estimate was also gone. A mid-grade spiritual artifact! The one under his own feet was just a low-grade spiritual artifact, and it was already envied by many of his fellow disciples in the sect. If he could get a mid-grade spiritual artifact this time, he would make a huge profit.
Ye Hua seemed to feel a hint of unease, but it was immediately dispelled by the thrill of teaching Sun Ming a lesson.
Sun Ming was talking with Yun Zhongzi in his heart at this time.
"Master, have you made a mistake? Let me fight this escaped cultivator, I'm a Refining Master, I don't like fighting and killing. If something happens to me, who will help Master find a new physical body?"
"Heh heh, don't worry about it tomorrow. This is a sword cultivator, and although his attack power is the highest among all same-level cultivators, you mustn't forget that a sword cultivator only has this single sword technique as an attacking method. Unless he becomes a Sword Immortal, there's no way for him to learn other spells. And you have the Golden Scissors, even if it's just the initial stage of the Golden Scissors, cutting off a low-grade spiritual artifact is still more than enough. Do you understand what I mean?" Yun Zhongzi said with a mischievous grin.
"Oh, Master, I understand what you mean. You want me to practice my skills on this guy, don't worry, Master, I won't use the Golden Scissors unless it's absolutely necessary." Sun Ming said with a knowing tone.
"Ah, a child can be taught, a child can be taught." Yun Zhongzi said with delight.
"But Master, what is this 'infant' thing? Can it be taught? Is it a kind of treasure?" Sun Ming asked.
"You're really naive, I'll explain it to you later, for now just face this sword cultivator properly. The strongest enemy you've faced so far is only at the Yuan Ying stage, be careful." Yun Zhongzi arranged with a black line on his face.
Sun Ming no longer spoke, but in his heart he was thinking about how to have a good fight with this sword cultivator.
"Alright, let's get started. Everyone, please step back," Ye Hua's voice interrupted Sun Ming's thoughts. The people around him, including Yun Lei and Tian Kui, all retreated a great distance away. On the surface of the sea, only Sun Ming and Xuan Xuanzi were left.
Sun Ming held the flying sword carefully, looking at Xuan Xuanzi with caution. However, it was Xuan Xuanzi's expression that made Sun Ming feel depressed for a long time. It wasn't lazy, but rather an extremely sloppy expression as he looked at Sun Ming, seemingly like he was looking at a toy.
Sun Ming was furious, regardless of the consequences, he charged forward with his sword, but unfortunately, Sun Ming's seemingly powerful thunderbolt-like attack was casually blocked by Xuanxuanzi's single sword.
"This Lingming, has he gone stupid? Comparing swords with Sword Repair? Why not use some spells to deal with Xuanyuzi? This way, Ye won't be defeated so quickly and so miserably." Tiankui looked at Sunming with a gloomy face as he was blocked again and again.
"Alas, does this Ling Ming really not know how to use the Law of the Ancients?" Yun Lei also couldn't help but say harshly.
Sun Ming didn't come to engage in a sword fight with the Sword Cultivator, but rather he simply had no techniques to use. The Qiwu Sect's techniques Sun Ming hadn't learned, and as for the Yuexu Palace's techniques, even the lowest level Five Elements Escape Technique couldn't be learned until the Yuan Ying stage.
When everyone thought Sun Ming was numb to the torture, Xuanxuanzi seemed to have had enough too. With a backhand strike, he sent Sun Ming flying back hundreds of meters. Then, a dazzling sword technique was unleashed, and countless water swords quickly condensed and shot towards Sun Ming along with Xuanxuanzi's flying sword.
"Ah, don't!" Yun Lei and Tian Kui exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe, don't worry, younger siblings. Master Xuan's moves are ruthless but measured. This move will at most leave him severely injured, there won't be any danger." Ye Hua comforted.
"Hmph, if Ling Ming has any shortcomings, my master will definitely not let you off." Tian Kui said viciously.
Ye Hua didn't think so, he didn't believe that his master would punish himself for a cook.
At this moment, Sun Ming faced the real thunderbolt attack, but he looked exceptionally calm. He took out the Five Fire Seven Bird Fan and Golden Dragon Scissors from the Mustard Seed Ring. With a wave of the fan, the Green Phoenix flew out with spiritual fire, and the water swords in front were all turned into mist after being spun by the phoenix. Sun Ming's mind moved, and the Green Phoenix returned to the fan. Then, he threw out the Golden Dragon Scissors, which cut off the flying sword of Xuan Xuanzi with a loud crash. The distant Xuan Xuanzi was suddenly injured, spitting out a mouthful of blood mist. Sun Ming did not deliver the final blow but instead put away the Golden Dragon Scissors into the Mustard Seed Ring. This seemingly brilliant scene happened in an instant, and it wasn't until then that the people around him reacted.
Ziran Tiankui and Yun Lei flew happily to Sun Ming's side, asking about his well-being. On the other hand, that group of people had gloomy faces, especially the two who were dressed similarly to Xuanxuanzi, who looked furious. When they saw that Xuanxuanzi was only mentally affected after his flying sword was destroyed, the group supported Xuanxuanzi and flew to Lingming's side.
"Lingming, you're too presumptuous! How dare you use a treasure to ambush a cultivator in the midst of their secluded cultivation? Do you not care about the Sacred Alliance's rules?" Ye Hua said angrily.
"Hmph, you actually dare to hurt my senior brother! Those who defy the Holy Covenant will be reported to the Holy Covenant's Inspector. Your sect is doomed to disperse!" A person who seemed to be a junior of Xuanxiaozi said angrily.
"Hmph, sneak attack? I defeated him fair and square, if he lost then he's just lost. What's with all the fuss here? Violating the Holy Alliance's rules? Take a look at this! Look clearly before saying that I've violated the Holy Alliance's rules." Sun Ming said as he took out his Five-Star Refiner Master Spirit Badge.
Can I get some collection recommendations? Can the book reviewers say something in the review section? The review section of Jian Ge's books is all ads and it's depressing.
