System's Super Sect-Chapter 673 - 670. Sword Control Skill has never been about controlling just one sword!

Chapter 673: 670. Sword Control Skill has never been about controlling just one sword!

"You don’t need to go in!"

Bainian Xiang said these six words in a very serious tone. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Hmm?" Bu Lan and the others were puzzled by Bainian Xiang’s action.

Why wasn’t she letting them in?

Bainian Xiang continued, "Xia Ye and his people challenged us at this time not only to make us look bad and regain face, but also to humiliate the Hidden Dragon Sect. Therefore, I, Bainian Xiang, will go in alone. Your going in would only lead to unnecessary casualties."

Bu Lan shook his head in refusal, "No, if we need to carry this burden, we carry it together. After all, what’s a little injury? I’m not afraid! Besides, even if I get killed, so what? People from the Xia Family have died at my hands before. No big deal!"

"We’ll bear it together!"

The three behind shouted in unison.

The three simultaneously raised their hands to move Bainian Xiang’s sword aside and enter the battle area.

...

The onlookers and the people on the Floating Island saw this scene and were equally puzzled. They couldn’t understand what Bainian Xiang was trying to do.

Only Xiahou was clapping, turning to praise Bainian Xiang in front of Bainian Hanshan, "Hanshan, your daughter is quite responsible. Facing a challenge alone without dragging others in. She is way better than you in this regard."

Bainian Hanshan listened to Xiahou’s insincere words and raised an eyebrow, responding with silence.

Then, the voice of Bainian Hanshan came again, "Initially, I admired such behavior. After all, it clearly wasn’t learned from you; you lack this quality. Definitely not learned from the Hidden Dragon Sect either, I know what it’s like there; you don’t cultivate people with such qualities. It’s a pity she abandoned the Hidden Dragon Sect to join another sect. This responsibility seems just for show. If she were truly responsible, she wouldn’t have left the Hidden Dragon Sect to join another sect."

In any other case, it would mean nothing.

Fine birds choose good trees for roosting!

Nothing more normal than that.

But Bainian Xiang is, after all, the next Patriarch of the Bainian Family, likely the next Sect Leader of the Hidden Dragon Sect. Her joining another sect is of completely different significance.

"Old Bu, go down and see what she’s really up to." Xiahou, ignoring Bainian Hanshan’s pretense, continued watching, his gaze fixed on Bainian Xiang, who was blocking Bu Lan and the other three at the edge of the battle area.

Is this the time to show responsibility?

No matter what Bainian Xiang did before, anger is anger, but he was still worried about Bainian Xiang at that moment.

After all, she was the only continuation of his beloved’s life.

As a father, he was already very happy with just the victory in the first match. Not only was he happy to foil the Xia Family’s scheme, but he was also pleased to see Bainian Xiang’s growth.

Although he didn’t know who taught her that swordsmanship, with such a marvelous skill, he believed that if given another twenty years, she would surely shine brightly on the stage of Heaven and Earth Lake.

If only Bainian Xiang hadn’t joined the Immortal Sect on her own, he would have been even more pleased!

With just the recent victory, Bainian Xiang could have been directly confirmed as the next Patriarch of the Bainian Family, or even the next Sect Leader of the Hidden Dragon Sect!

...

Below the Floating Island.

Just when the three were about to forcibly move Bainian Xiang’s sword to enter the battle area, Bainian Xiang suddenly shivered, not only shaking off their hands but also unleashing a sharp and terrifying Sword Intent.

The three were startled and instinctively retreated.

After releasing her Sword Intent, Bainian Xiang’s gaze turned to Bu Lan, casting an unwavering look.

But then Bainian Xiang didn’t say another word, turning to walk into the battle area, with the sword in her hand rising into the air like a living creature, hovering near her head, as if a demon creature guarding her.

"Bainian Xiang, surrender or die, choose one!"

A familiar phrase leisurely drifted over.

The speaker was Xia Ye!

At this time, Xia Ye’s earth-yellow Meridian Gate had already opened, and the aura of the Upper Profound Realm and Innate Anomalous Vein was surging outward. Just one person caused Bainian Xiang, and even all the new talents of the Hidden Dragon Sect, to pale in comparison.

It seemed to tell everyone, though Xia Jin is dead, there’s Xia Ye! But who does the Hidden Dragon Sect have?

Bainian Xiang’s face remained indifferent as she responded, "I choose neither!"

With that, Bainian Xiang willed, and the long sword hovering above her head transformed into white light, shooting toward Xia Ye.

Xia Ye showed no urgency, nor did he have the others intervene.

Bang!

After a tremor from the Meridian Gate, a half-man-high black hand appeared in front of Xia Ye, changing with the subtle movements of his left hand, exuding a unique killing intent.

Yellow Level Top-Grade Vein Skill — Barbaric Palm.

When Xia Ye clenched his fist, it became a fist.

When Xia Ye’s hand opened, it became a palm.

As Bainian Xiang’s sword came, it went up to meet it.

Boom——

The sword and fist collided in mid-air, stirring a light dust that spread out. Then a cracking sound was heard, and the previously formidable Barbaric Palm suddenly shattered a piece where Bainian Xiang’s sword met it.

Crack!

Crack!

In just a few breaths, Bainian Xiang’s sword began penetrating the Barbaric Palm inch by inch.

Intending to pierce through the Barbaric Palm!

And at this penetration rate, the Barbaric Palm being pierced was inevitable!

Xia Ye’s expression changed slightly, surprised but arrogantly said, "I’m not like Nanmen Chang or Xia Lanshan, only cultivating the Barbaric Demon Spirit Body, so your sword is no threat to me. Barbaric Palm, I’ve cultivated to the Perfection Realm!"

With that, Xia Ye’s Vein Array trembled again.

Bang!

Along with the tremor of the Meridian Gate, another Barbaric Palm suddenly extended from Xia Ye’s right hand side, rapidly grabbing for the sword.

Xia Ye laughed, "With the explosive power of Barbaric Palm at the Perfection Realm, plus the amplification of my Innate Anomalous Vein, my current power is at least at the Half-Step Divine Profound level of an ordinary Meridian Gate Cultivator. No matter how astonishing or terrifying your Swordsmanship is, can it cross three minor realms to harm me?"

Indeed, once the other hand grabbed Bainian Xiang’s sword, the once unstoppable sword could advance no further.

But at this moment, a white light shot in.

"Watch out!"

A warning came from the Xia Family behind him.

Xia Ye quickly shifted his focus from the successful grip of the Barbaric Palm and saw another sword approaching. The fierce Sword Intent felt like a raging beast, pressing towards his face, making his heart tighten.

At this moment, Xia Ye could do nothing else, with only two words in his mind — dodge!

However, his body’s speed did not match his mind’s.

Swish!

The white light slid past Xia Ye’s left arm, slicing the sleeve, and the flesh beneath it.

With intense pain, Xia Ye’s left hand trembled, and the Meridian Gate on his left hand retracted as well.

The Barbaric Palm vanished.

The long sword clattered to the ground!

Bainian Xiang’s voice followed, entering his ears, "You don’t solely cultivate the Barbaric Demon Spirit Body, and I never said I only have one sword!"
