However, Ling Yun probably understood why Zhu Changqing had come here, and quickly tried to dissuade him.
"Brother Changqing, calm down first. This matter is not as simple as you think."
Zhu Changqing shoved Ling Yun aside, glared at him fiercely, and said, "I don't care how simple you are! I'm going to kill this kid today!"
After saying that, Zhu Changqing fixed his gaze on Su Yang, and without saying another word, he picked up a long sword and suddenly increased his speed.
When Zhu Changqing was only a few feet away from Su Yang, a terrifying aura suddenly surged around his body, and the sword in his hand burned with layers of illusory mist-like true energy. Neither the sword nor he himself showed any intention of holding back.
Upon seeing this, Ling Yun was about to make a move, but he stopped.
At that moment, Su Yang had already raised his hand, and an invisible sword intent immediately enveloped him.
It's that trick again!
Ling Yun was secretly alarmed, and when he noticed Su Yang's sword intent, the initial solemnity in his eyes gradually turned into disbelief.
"He can actually gather such terrifying sword intent without using his true energy. Just who is he?"
Zhu Changqing didn't notice, after all, Su Yang's sword intent was ethereal and invisible and hard to detect, plus the true energy fluctuations that erupted around him were enormous. Such a powerful sword strike slammed into a light barrier in front of Su Yang's palm!
"What?"
Zhu Changqing was stunned for a moment. When he struck the light screen with all his might, he could vaguely see that the light screen flashed with a golden light, and all the power of the sword technique he released was returned to him from the hilt of the sword. In an instant, he took several steps back before he could regain his footing.
And his hands were still trembling at that moment.
The power of that sword strike that was returned to him was too great!
"Good lad, you do have some skills!" Zhu Changqing sneered.
Su Yang shook his head slightly: "Su Tianlang is nothing but a petty person, why bother with such a thing?"
Zhu Changqing's face twisted in rage as he said, "Just because he's my disciple, and a student of my Ziyang Sect! I'd like to see how many of my sword strikes your turtle shell can withstand!"
Having said that, the moment Zhu Changqing sheathed his sword, he brandished the hilt with his right hand, and finally clasped his hands together with the sword pointing to the sky. In that instant, his aura surged several times over! Even the true energy around him began to manifest as flames!
"Burning Heaven Flame Slash?" Ling Yun frowned.
This is Zhu Changqing's most skilled technique!
Since the Ziyang Sect had not encountered an opponent in the Jiang Kingdom for over a hundred years, he had not seen Zhu Changqing use this move for over a hundred years. He never expected that after so many years, Zhu Changqing's Heaven-Burning Flame Slash would be so masterful!
"Die!"
Zhu Changqing roared, his sword flashing with a raging fire that seemed to dye the surrounding clouds blood red. His hands surged with suffocating energy, rushing forth like a surging river!
Blazing Flame Slash!
boom!!
The terrifying aftershocks spread instantly, causing ripples throughout the entire Lingyun Palace. Countless insects and birds scattered far away, and even the disciples at the entrance were unsteady on their feet.
Not only that, even some Ziyang Sect disciples who were cultivating in the mountains below Lingyun Palace felt a strange sense of unease when they looked up at those few blood-red clouds.
However.
In the Lingyun Palace.
Zhu Changqing gripped the sword hilt tightly. He could clearly feel that Su Yang's safety shield had been completely cleaved in two. With the power of this move, killing someone would be no problem at all!
but!
Before anyone knew it, Su Yang had drawn a dark red sword, its blade covered in small black spots, making it look like an ordinary, rusty sword. However, no one could have predicted that the moment his sword clashed with Su Yang's broken sword, the sword in his hand shattered into countless pieces, finally exploding into iron dust!
Just as Zhu Changqing was secretly surprised, Su Yang's sword trembled, and a fierce gust of wind burst out from around him. In an instant, Zhu Changqing was directly blasted more than a hundred feet away and crashed into the mountain on the other side. His whole body was embedded in the stone, and it was probably impossible to pry him out.
Ling Yun was sweating profusely. Even he couldn't understand the reason behind Su Yang's sword energy just now, which showed just how strong Su Yang was!
Is this the Sword Emperor level expert?
Ling Yun looked at the distant mountain wall, then walked to Su Yang and knelt on one knee, saying, "Young friend Su Yang... no, Senior Su, could you spare Zhu Changqing's life? He was blinded by anger and didn't know his own limitations. I'm sure he will come to his senses after this."
Su Yang frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally sheathed his sword.
Seeing this, Ling Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But inwardly, he smiled bitterly: 'Zhu Changqing, you should have realized when you were defeated in the first move that this young man was far more complex than we imagined.'
After sheathing his sword, Su Yang slowly said, "After all, I have a favor to ask of the Ziyang Sect, and I have no grudge against them, so I can spare him this time. Besides, if I were to kill him, he would have died from that one move. However, I don't want another person to come looking for trouble with me. If they do, I won't show any mercy."
Ling Yun shuddered and said, "Yes, yes."
Ling Yun then gave a signal to the disciples guarding the door. Two disciples hurriedly retreated, while Su Yang and his companion leisurely entered Ling Yun Hall.
After sitting down, Ling Yun personally took out a treasure box containing a jar of aged wine that had been sealed for eight hundred years. After taking it out, the aroma of the wine was even visible to the naked eye, and soon a refreshing fragrance of wine spread throughout the huge Ling Yun Palace.
Su Yang wasn't a big drinker, but he could still smell that this wine was definitely top-quality!
Ling Yun took out the jar of wine and poured it into the wine cup in front of Su Yang. The aroma of the wine emanating from the cup had a warming effect on the meridians when inhaled, and with the visible aroma of the wine, it was as if the wine was still warm.
After both of them filled their cups with wine, Ling Yun smiled and said, "Senior Su, this wine is called Jianghai Brew. I obtained it when I went to Jiangdu for a trip. This wine is almost exclusively available to the royal family, especially since the one I have here is eight hundred years old. Even the current royal family probably doesn't have it anymore. It is only by meeting Senior Su today that I can drink this wine and make it worth its price."
Su Yang smiled faintly: "There's no need to address me as 'senior,' just do as before."
Ling Yun nodded: "Since young friend Su Yang insists, then I will presume to do so. Here, let's drink this fine wine as a sign of respect!"
Su Yang picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The moment it enters the throat, a sweet and fragrant sensation lingers in the mouth, followed by a cool and smooth feeling as it slides down the throat. Only then does a slow, warm sensation begin to soothe the chest.
It has a refreshing taste and a smooth, mellow finish.
"It is indeed good wine!" Su Yang put down his wine glass and expressed his approval.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun's face lit up with joy.
However, Su Yang also said, "The wine is indeed good. I hope that the Ziyang Sect can also have the information I want."
Ling Yun raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Young friend Su Yang, would you like to hear your story?"
