A hint of headache flashed across Venerable Tianhe's face. He waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this matter. That sword technique is not yet perfect. How can we mislead young disciples?"

He went to great lengths to push Bai Cang away, so how could he allow the other party to inherit any "sword mantle"?

If he truly intends to, it's not just the swordsmanship he carries on; the entire legacy of the Tianhe Temple can be inherited by Bai Cang.

But if it weren't for his wife's repeated sabotage, he wouldn't even have been willing to give Bai Cang the title of "disciple," so how could he possibly let him inherit his mantle?

“The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade. This disciple is interested in the Great Dao and also has some talent in the sword. Perhaps I can help you improve the sword technique. Please enlighten me!” Bai Cang bowed with his hands clasped, his words carrying a hint of sharpness.

Now that things had come to this, even Bai Cang, who was slow to notice anything amiss, realized that something was wrong.

Although he didn't know why Venerable Tianhe was targeting him like this.

However, it is an undeniable fact that this "cheap teacher" dislikes him and finds fault with him using various excuses.

If it weren't for the help of his "good teacher's wife," he would probably have been sent away by now.

Since that's the case, why should he be polite?

Since pretending to be a grandson won't get me any approval anyway, I might as well "let my old age run wild" and cling tightly to my "teacher's wife's" leg.

As long as you cling to the "teacher's wife's" coattails, what does it matter whether the "cheap teacher" likes you or not?

"Such arrogance! Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianhe sneered, "Since that's the case, then I'll give you a chance to have a duel with you."

"I will only use my Dao Foundation cultivation power. If you can withstand three sword strikes, why shouldn't I give you the 'Mysterious Yin Ghost-Slaying and God-Slaying Sword Technique'?"

Bai Cang smiled calmly, "This disciple is not talented, but perhaps I can take on the role!"

"boom!"

Before he could finish speaking...

With a flick of his finger, Venerable Tianhe unleashed a sword-like beam of light that shot towards Bai Cang.

In a mere instant, the sword light flashed like lightning, almost touching the body, before the thunderous roar of the sword could be heard.

"boom!"

At the same time, Bai Cang remained fearless. A flash of light appeared between his fingers, and a sword light shot out like a rainbow, blocking the attack in mid-air.

Both swords rang out with thunderous sounds, and their speed was almost as fast as the opponent's.

"Alright, you managed to block one attack!"

Venerable Tianhe sneered repeatedly, and the sword light in the sky changed again, splitting into eighty-one streams, slashing towards Bai Cang from all directions.

Bai Cang's sword light, which was originally entangled, had no time to make any changes.

"boom!"

The next moment.

Bai Cang has already inserted nine sword talismans into the jade pill.

With just a flick of his wrist, the jade ball split into twenty-four sword lights, completely protecting him.

It must be said that even when using Dao Foundation magic power, Venerable Tianhe's combat experience is far superior to Bai Cang's.

With the roar of swords and the sound of thunder, the sword light split apart. These two "Three Peaks of Flying Swords" alone were enough to make Bai Cang sweat profusely.

Each time the sword stance changed, Bai Cang would barely react and manage to respond.

However, thanks to the advantage of the "Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night" sword pellet, Bai Cang was only able to generate twenty-four sword lights, and was so badly killed that he could only parry and had no power to fight back.

However, it still managed to block the sword light splitting technique of Venerable Tianhe and barely protected the area within ten feet around him.

"Hmph! A sword is all about sharpness!"

"If you only defend and never attack, what's the point of practicing swordsmanship? You're just wasting your talent for swordsmanship!"

Seeing this, Venerable Tianhe's expression grew increasingly grim, and he couldn't help but shout, "If your skills stop here, then get out of Tianhe Temple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Venerable Tianhe flicked his finger, and a piece of incense stick shot out, transforming into hundreds of sword lights that slashed towards Bai Cang.

Each sword light, in the blink of an eye, condensed into a thread as thin as a spider's thread, as if it were about to tear space apart.

It was none other than "Refining Sword into Silk," one of the "Three Peaks of Flying Swords"!

Despite this, Bai Cang remained calm and fearless.

With just a soft shout, twenty-four sword lights merged in mid-air, transforming into a wisp of sword light that flew down towards Venerable Tianhe.

At the same time, he swayed and vanished into thin air, disappearing from the Five Elements.

"Boom!"

The next moment.

Amidst the thunderous roar of swords, countless sword lights shone brightly across the sky.

The wisp of sword thread that Bai Cang slashed was flicked by Venerable Tianhe three feet away from his body, and fell down crookedly.

Then the sword pellet's true form appeared, bouncing a few times on the ground before falling silent again.

"Without any self-control, you'll fall for any provocation. In a real fight, you'd already be disarmed, have lost the initiative, and be at the mercy of your opponent!"

Venerable Tianhe offered his "comments" without any restraint, employing every possible means of belittling and malicious attack, rendering Bai Cang utterly worthless.

However, True Monarch Li Long chuckled and said, "Master, three moves have passed, and you haven't won yet."

Having said that, she slightly raised her chin, her face full of a mocking smile, "Your trickery didn't work on Little White Cang, so how dare you criticize others?"

Whose wife are you anyway? Are you siding with outsiders?

Venerable Tianhe's face darkened. He looked up at the sky and saw countless sword lights, like rainbows, intertwined into a net, as if chasing something invisible, but they could not force Bai Cang to reveal his "original form".

Seeing this scene.

Both Venerable Tianhe and True Lord Lilong had an incredulous look of amazement in their eyes.

The sword roared like thunder, its light splitting, forging the sword into threads!

The young man had completely mastered the three pinnacles of flying swords.

He even possessed an even more astonishing escape technique, which even Venerable Tianhe, who was teetering on the edge of "breaking the rules," was unable to defeat with his Dao Foundation power.

What a monster this is! And how terrifying!

However, Venerable Tianhe's mouth had also been refined, its hardness comparable to a magic weapon. He immediately snorted coldly and said, "Opportunism is not the style of a sword cultivator."

"Alright, my sir, I know you're the most trustworthy person!"

With a flick of his sleeves, True Monarch Lilong concealed the countless sword lights that filled the sky. "But can all the disciples you've taken in be worth a single hair on Little White Cang's head?"

"If such a fine disciple is not passed on the Dharma, how can we expect those worthless scoundrels to inherit your mantle?"

These words made Venerable Tianhe's face turn ashen.

He immediately flicked his sleeve, and a scroll of jade was thrown out.

Then, with a movement towards a certain spot in the void, he knocked Bai Cang out of the void.

"Alright, alright! Just to give Madam some face, take the sword manual and get out of here!"

With a cold snort, Bai Cang was transformed into a streak of light and smashed out of Tianhe Temple, falling from the summit of Tianzhu Peak.

In that fleeting glance, Bai Cang and Li Long Zhenjun locked eyes for the last time, and Bai Cang suddenly realized that the other's gaze was so familiar.

It's as if they're saying: I said I'd protect you, and I can protect you, right?

Venerable Tianhe had obviously also noticed the subtle "eye contact" between his wife and his cheap disciple, Bai Cang.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she said to True Lord Lilong with dissatisfaction, "Why is Madam always siding with outsiders today?"

"Could it be that you're really going to adopt a younger brother just because of a joke?"
