Chapter Fifty: A Sword
Feeling the chill on his body, Jian Yan snapped out of his reverie. Ignoring his clothes, he opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, it all turned into a sigh.
No matter what, a defeat is a defeat, and there's no point in saying anything more.
Su Yang sheathed his sword and stood there, looking at his somewhat unwilling expression, and said calmly, "A level five spiritual weapon is strong, but you are ultimately too weak and have dragged it down."
Indeed, if I were to clash with you head-on, not only would my spirit sword be unable to withstand the attack, but I myself would also be unable to endure it.
But don't forget, a battle between martial artists is never a straightforward, hard-fought fight. If you started by thinking I'd compete with you in sword techniques or the power of your weapons, then I can only say you deserved to lose.
Su Yang spoke very bluntly, which made Jian Yan smile bitterly.
Indeed, before the battle, it was perhaps because he was wielding the Star-Slaying Blade and possessed divine power.
He was determined to have a head-on battle with Su Yang, but unexpectedly, the other party directly avoided the possibility of facing a level 5 spiritual weapon head-on and attacked him, the weaker swordsman.
Thinking about it that way, it's true that his defeat wasn't entirely without reason.
He gripped the hilt of the Star-Slaying Sword and looked at its ancient blade. Jian Yan, after all, could not go back on his word.
With a gentle toss, the longsword in his hand flew towards Su Yang, who then caught it.
“This sword belonged to my great-grandfather. He used it to achieve the title of king. Now that it has fallen into your hands, you must not disgrace its reputation.”
Seeing Su Yang accept the sword, Jian Yan was still reluctant to part with him and gave him some words of advice.
But Su Yang acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and didn't even glance at Jian Yan.
He was too lazy to bother with all that nonsense.
Since he won, it's his. And since it's his, what right do you, an outsider, have to tell me how to use it?
With his focus on the longsword in his hand, Su Yang liked it more and more the more he looked at it. He thrust the sword straight at Su Yang, and endless killing intent surged out. This made Jian Yan, who was standing to the side, feel scared and retreat repeatedly. He dared not teach Su Yang to do anything anymore!
However, having just won someone else's treasure, Su Yang naturally wouldn't do something like killing someone. He flicked his sword, gave Jian Yan a hearty laugh, and then turned and left the arena.
Only Jianyan remained, standing on the stage, watching Su Yang's retreating figure, speechless for a long time.
On the Zhou Fang viewing platform, seeing Su Yang reverse the crisis and advance further, countless cheers resounded.
The other party was especially excited because they had actually won the weapon from their opponent!
"I never expected that Yang Shu could defeat an opponent wielding a level-five spiritual weapon! He even won the weapon himself! That's incredibly powerful!"
"Indeed, but this Star-Slaying Sword is no ordinary object. I wonder if the Azure Sword King will let it fall into the hands of others."
"That shouldn't be the case, right? What kind of status does a king have? Would he really lower himself like that for a sword?"
"It's hard to say. At worst, we can just not make a move openly, and who would know if we did it secretly?"
However, Yang Shu is no ordinary person; he has a powerful patron behind him. Even if the Azure Sword King is unwilling, he'll probably have to think it over.
"No, I've discovered that you guys are incredibly audacious. Not only did you dare to speak out against the Supreme Emperor before, but now you even dare to criticize a King-level expert! Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Hehe, I didn't realize I'd said a few extra words. Be careful what you say! Be careful what you say!"
"Yes, yes, be careful what you say! Be careful what you say!"
"......"
With his sword on his back and the Star-Slaying Blade in hand, Su Yang's excitement at this moment was palpable. His only thought was to find someone to test his sword against!
He slowly walked to the last arena on the list of seventy-two tigers.
Lin Wuya had been waiting there for a long time.
Although he had promised the Lin family not to harm their prodigy, things didn't go as planned. The rules changed, so Su Yang couldn't be blamed.
Leaping onto the arena and standing on it, Su Yang looked at Lin Wuya's strong physique and estimated that it would be perfect for testing his sword.
"Brother Yang, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
With his hands clasped in a fist, Lin Wuya showed no fear of battle. Even though Su Yang had obtained the Star-Slaying Technique and become even stronger, Lin Wuya still maintained his composure and style.
Nodding, Su Yang's mind was not on these illusions; at this moment, all he wanted to do was cut something down.
As if sensing Su Yang's thoughts, Lin Wuya wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.
He could only comfort himself that although Su Yang was powerful, he was not without his limits. It was just a challenge from the academy, so the opponent should not harm him.
"Dao Ancestor, do you think that Dragon Blood Warrior can withstand Xu Wan's sword strike at this moment?"
Su Chen, who had been keeping an eye on Su Yang, asked about the Taixu Cauldron.
[If it were the first generation of Dragon Blood Warrior from the Lin family, it should be possible, but the young man on the stage now cannot.]
After countless millennia, that drop of dragon blood from back then has long since become diluted and faded.
It was already the limit for Lin Wuya to have a physical body far superior to that of ordinary martial artists, but it was absolutely impossible for him to withstand a single sword technique from Su Yang with his physical body.
On the arena.
Su Yang stood with his sword on his back, wielding the Star-Slaying Sword, his strength now more than ten times greater.
Defeating Lin Wuya was a foregone conclusion for him.
The pressure from the other party was even less than that from Jian Yan.
After all, not everyone has a level 5 spirit weapon as their trump card.
"Next, be careful. I will only strike once. If you can block it, you win. Otherwise, the number one spot on the Tiger Ranking will be mine."
Su Yang spoke softly, but his words left no room for argument.
Lin Wuya had no objections. If it weren't for Su Yang's invincible will pressing down on his mind, he really wouldn't want to fight Su Yang.
At this point, being still in this arena, there's nothing we can do but say.
