Chapter 1020: Chapter 1021: The Ex to the Current
A young man, riding a golden chariot, sped toward them, his face brimming with smiles.
“It turns out to be the Sword Sect’s eldest senior brother, our disciples have shallow experiences, and have offended you.”
“Xu Yuan, this is a direct disciple of Sect Master Ying, show so respect!”
Li Xiaobai cast Xu Yuan aside and stepped forward with a cupped-fist salute and a smile toward the shabbily dressed young swordmaster.
“Who are you? I heard in my absence these days, the position of Peak Master of the Second Peak has been occupied by another disciple, could it be you?”
Looking at the youth standing on the golden chariot, Li Quzhuo’s gaze narrowed. The ancient golden chariot looked quite terrifying, exceptionally extraordinary, yet this youth seed…
...
From every angle, he appeared rely ordinary without significant cultivation levels backing him. Generally, there were two reasons for this, one being that the other party was truly weak, and since their powers differed greatly, it was normal for him not to perceive much.
The second reason could be that the opponent was a great expert, a Semi-Saint or even of the Saint Realm, possessing cultivation levels far beyond his, at the stage of returning to simplicity and genuine nature.
But this new Peak Master was about his age, how could he possess such a far superior cultivation level? He had never heard of any prodigy in the Central Origin Realm breaking through to the Semi-Saint stage, reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm was already considered a super genius capable of rivaling many Sect Elders.
“Correct, I am currently the Peak Master of the Second Peak, Li Xiaobai, Brother Li, you have just returned, why not co inside the hall to catch up? Allow to cleanse the dust of your journey.”
Li Xiaobai said with a smile.
Li Xiaobai?
A hint of reminiscence appeared in Li Quzhuo’s eyes, he felt the na was very familiar, as if often ntioned sowhere, but since it was unrelated to him he had not taken it to heart, at the mont he could not rember who the other was.
Nevermind, who he is doesn’t matter. Within the Sword Sect, no one has ever dared defy him, even if it was Sect Master Ying’s newly accepted young disciple, hierarchy was there, those who don’t respect their elders must be severely disciplined, to restore the authority of the eldest senior brother!
“Humph, now you know to concede?”
“Too late! As they say, ‘A crooked beam makes a crooked rafter.’ One can tell a lot about the master from their servant! Your arrogant and domineering behavior as a steward shows that this so-called Peak Master is nothing more than a bully relying on others’ power. Today, I will suppress you in front of the Sect Disciples and let the Sword Sect know who truly is the Sword Sect’s eldest senior brother!”
“The Second Peak has beco much more prosperous than before, but at the sa ti, the number of degenerates has increased, they must be cleansed!”
Li Quzhuo said coldly, drawing the longsword at his waist, casually swung a sword flourish and launched a streak of Sword Qi towards the youth on the golden chariot.
In his view, to suppress such insignificant beings, a simple gesture was all it took. He had entered the Heavenly Immortal Realm three years ago, and these years of roaming and fighting between life and death, although not breaking through to the Half-Saint Realm yet, his strength was not sothing ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators could contend with, teaching this ignorant youngster was easy.
“Brother Li, be careful!”
Surrounding cultivators in the Heavenly Immortal Realm exclaid and spoke out.
They tried to block the Sword Qi, but it was too fast; before they could reach it, the sword light had already flashed close by Li Xiaobai.
What level of cultivation was this? At the sa Heavenly Immortal Realm, they couldn’t even catch up to a casually thrown Sword Qi from him; was this the strength of the forr eldest senior brother of the Sword Sect?
“Let’s speak nicely, no need to get angry.”
Li Xiaobai, seemingly oblivious to the Sword Qi hurtling toward him, still wore a smile and spoke in a calm manner.
The Sword Qi slashed unhesitatingly across his chest, cutting a big opening in his clothes, revealing his jade-white, unhard skin beneath.
[Attribute Points 1,200,000…]
This attribute point was good; the Big Brother of the Sword Sect wasn’t just a pretty face. With a single swing of his sword he could unleash such power—he was soone with true talent and skill, at the least a cultivator who had gone through the baptism of real combat.
“How… how is this possible? How did you do it?”
“Are you also in the Heavenly Immortal Realm?”
Li Quzhuo couldn’t help but widen his eyes, even rubbing them, doubting that there was sothing wrong with his vision. His sword qi had no effect on the person before him?
It rely sliced open a cut in his clothing, revealing skin that had not even the slightest scratch; there wasn’t even a red mark left. The sword glow that slashed at his body seed like a breeze passing by, silently dissipating.
To resist his sword qi with physical body alone?
He wasn’t just any Tom, Dick, or Harry; he was a genuine powerhouse in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and even within that realm, ranked among the foremost.
How trendous must one’s physique be, to reach such a point? Could human race cultivators achieve this?
“It’s nothing, just a bit tougher skin. Can we sit down and have a good chat now?”
Li Xiaobai said with a light smile.
“Don’t think just because you have a strong body you can do whatever you want in the sect. I’ve been roaming around for many years, I’ve seen it all; today, I will teach you overconfident young cultivators a lesson on behalf of the Sword Sect!”
Li Quzhuo’s eyes were cold and sharp. Returning after three years to find that even the mountain had changed hands and that even a re steward dared to order him around—it was truly infuriating. If he let this pass, he would likely beco a laughing stock within the sect and subject to criticism; he had to regain control of this situation!
At this point, the dispute had drawn quite a number of disciples from nearby. On the Second Peak of the Sword Sect, there was a cultivator daring to confront Li Xiaobai? That was quite a spectacle; were they tired of living?
“Shh, this young swordsman looks familiar!”
“Isn’t that our Sword Sect’s Big Brother, the forr master of the Second Peak? He’s actually co back!”
“After leaving for three years without a word, we thought he was killed by soone, bones buried in a foreign land; who would have thought he’d return!”
“No wonder soone dared to confront Brother Li; the forr Big Brother is back, and the clash between the forr and the current Big Brother! We are in for a show!”
As disciples gathered, many of the older disciples recognized Li Quzhuo’s identity.
However, they weren’t particularly optimistic about this forr Big Brother; after all, Li Xiaobai’s achievents were too impressive, and his contributions to the Sword Sect had significantly elevated it a notch, with the cultivation levels of its mbers advancing rapidly.
By comparison, Li Quzhuo was less renowned; perhaps he was a genius before, but now they had seen higher and farther horizons—even walking alongside those in the Half-Saint and Saint Realm, so Li Quzhuo no longer shone as brightly as in the past.
“Brother, we’re all family here, so let’s stop fighting. It wouldn’t look good to lose face in front of so many disciples.”
Li Xiaobai shook his head as he spoke.
“Hmph!”
“Scared now? I want to take away your dignity right here where the sect disciples gather, and let them see who you really are!”
“And I’m not afraid to tell you—I’ve been on the Immortal Ranking. Currently ranked ninety-ninth. My strength has been at the forefront, and if you kneel and beg for rcy now, I might spare you the physical tornt!”
