Library of Heaven's Path Chapter 1974 - Knocking Out Bai Ruanqing

Chapter 1974 Knocking Out Bai Ruanqing

“I’ve been to the core disciples’ library many tis. What books do you need? Tell and I’ll bring them here for you!” Bai Ruanqing said with a frown.

She could not possibly make a move there, where the valuable heritage of the sect was stored. However, she could not just keep following him around till the six hours were up either!

“It’s fine, I’m just looking around at the mont. I haven’t really decided on which book I want. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to head out once the six hours are over!” Zhang Xuan said with a wave of his hand.

It had not been easy for him to get in there, so he definitely had to collect all the books. This would be extrely helpful for future advancent in his cultivation and battle techniques.

Seeing how the young man’s eyes had already moved on to the next shelf while he was speaking, Bai Ruanqing felt like ages would have passed by the ti the young man was done.

So, she nodded for a mont as she said, “Is that so? Hmm, may I trouble you to co with for a mont?”

She had never been a patient person. Waiting there for a few more hours could really cause her head to explode.

“Where do you want to lead to?” Noticing the bizarre look on Bai Ruanqing’s face, Zhang Xuan finally tore his gaze away from the books and looked at her. “Is there a problem?”

“Not really... I can’t really say it here. Can you co with to the silent chamber over there?” Bai Ruanqing gestured to the isolated space where cultivators could study and practice so of the theories in the books.

“Ah?” Zhang Xuan was slightly taken aback. “I’m not too sure if this is really appropriate. I don’t an any offense, but I wish to focus on my cultivation for the ti being...”

Bai Ruanqing’s eyebrows leaped up. At that mont, she really wanted to strangle the fool before her to death. “You’re misunderstanding sothing. I just wish to ask you so questions relating to cultivation!”

“Ah, I see!” Zhang Xuan visibly heaved a sigh of relief.

He valued his purity a lot. He could not lose it there.

“You...” Seeing how relieved Zhang Xuan was, Bai Ruanqing nearly punched him in the face.

She knew that she had a violent temper, but at the very least, she was pretty. Many in the core disciples would more than fancy the idea of having so private ti with her, and yet... this fellow actually reacted in such a manner when she proposed going into a private chamber with him.

What do you an by this?

Did you think that I would eat you up?

Bai Ruanqing took two deep breaths to quell the flas in her heart before walking toward the private chamber.

She might not have known this fellow for long, but this was the first ti that she had t soone who could make one’s blood pressure rise with every word that he said. It served him right to be single!

After the two of them entered the silent chamber, the doors suddenly closed.

“What are you going to do?” Zhang Xuan placed his hands defensively before his chest as he looked at Bai Ruanqing warily.

Bai Ruanqing rolled her eyes. She activated the sound isolation barrier in the room before turning to look at Zhang Xuan. “I want to ask you what your na is and what your current cultivation realm is.”

“Didn’t I tell you while we were making our way here? I am Zhang Xuan, and my current cultivation realm is Dinsion Shatterer realm consummation,” Zhang Xuan replied.

The other party had asked those two questions before, and thinking that there was no need to hide the truth, he simply replied honestly.

“Dinsion Shatterer realm consummation, is it?” Bai Ruanqing muttered as her aura swiftly plumted down to his level. “I have suppressed my cultivation to Dinsion Shatterer realm consummation as well. I wish to have a duel with you. The losing party has to heed the words of the winning party obediently from now on!”

“You want to have a duel with ?” Zhang Xuan was confused.

He had thought that Bai Ruanqing was lusting over his flesh, but to think that she just wanted to have a duel with him. Just that... what in the world was this female dinosaur planning?

“That’s right!” Bai Ruanqing nodded.

You said that the losing party has to heed the words of the winning party from now on. Does that an that I’ll have to commit suicide if you ask to do so?” Zhang Xuan asked.

It was pretty much a guaranteed victory for him, but he did not like to engage in such duels.

“What kind of person do you think I am? Don’t worry, all I will ask of you is to address as your senior no matter what kind of identity you assu in the future! Just like any junior, you shall treat with the utmost respect and obey my orders!” Bai Ruanqing smirked as she began stretching her arms, causing cracking sounds to echo in the air.

On the other hand, Zhang Xuan was so bewildered by the request that one could almost see question marks above his head. “Haven’t I been calling you Senior Bai all along? Alright, I really have to finish browsing through my books, so I don’t really have ti to spar with you. Pardon , but I’ll be taking my leave...”

After saying those words, he turned around to walk out of the room.

“Where do you think you are going?”

With a bellow, Bai Ruanqing whipped out her sword and directed it right toward Zhang Xuan.

Regardless of whether he was willing to acknowledge it or not, there was no mistake in beating him into submission first!

As she was only suppressing her cultivation down to Dinsion Shatterer realm consummation, she was able to execute more sword maneuvers than she could back in the Ethereal Hall. At the sa ti, she was also much more accustod to her current strength.

This single pierce was far more powerful than the attack that she had executed in the Ethereal Hall, and it instantaneously sealed all of Zhang Xuan’s path of retreat.

She had no intention of killing Zhang Xuan, but years of experience as a tyrant told her that people listened better after going through a beating. She would feel much more assured after beating the person in question into submission.

On the other hand, Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless by Bai Ruanqing’s actions.

It was no wonder others called her a female dinosaur. It was impossible to reason with her.

With a series of quick Z-shaped sidesteps, he dodged all of Bai Ruanqing’s attacks as he shrugged helplessly and said, “Senior Bai, I really am no match for you. Let’s not continue with this aningless duel!”

“What?” Bai Ruanqing was shocked to see how easily Zhang Xuan managed to avoid all her attacks. Not only so, the latter even had the leisure to be shrugging and talking to her!

“Take out your sword and let see your true prowess! Don’t bla for not going easy on you otherwise!”

Sou sou sou!

After saying those words, Bai Ruanqing executed three consecutive slashes toward Zhang Xuan, each faster than the previous. In an instant, the silent chamber was completely filled with sword qi.

When the library was built, there had been concerns that cultivators would suddenly release trendous energy from suddenly epiphanies, resulting in the destruction of the building. Thus, the silent chambers were built to be extraordinary resilient. The Reinforcent Formation constructed around it was such that even core disciples would be unable to faze it. As such, even though Bai Ruanqing’s attack was powerful, it did not tear down the wall at all.

Zhang Xuan’s silhouette tilted from side to side as he adeptly dodged the three swords. At the sa ti, he spoke earnestly. “Look, you are a core disciple while I am just a re inner disciple. There’s no aning in soone as powerful as you bullying ...”

“...”Bai Ruanqing was getting more and more astounded by the mont.

Zhang Xuan appeared to be far stronger than she had expected him to be. Her motivation to fight was growing with each passing second.

“Quickly draw your sword. I’m going to get serious now.”

Hu!

A burst of sword qi gushed forth as Bai Ruanqing’s sword pierced forth with even greater speed than before.

As soone who cultivated the Heavysnow Swordsmanship, she was capable of moving at extre speeds with precision. Driving her current prowess at Dinsion Shatterer realm consummation to the limits, nurous afterimages of her appeared all around the silent chamber, surrounding Zhang Xuan.

It felt like innurable attacks would fall upon Zhang Xuan as soon as his guard fell.

But as swift as Bai Ruanqing’s movents were, Zhang Xuan was even faster. It was almost as if she was constantly a step slower than Zhang Xuan. Be it her sword or sword qi, nothing was reaching Zhang Xuan at all.

“How can this be?” Bai Ruanqing remarked in astonishnt as she hastened her movents further.

She had thought that she would at least be able to force Zhang Xuan into a cor with her attacks, but sohow, the other party simply yawned in boredom as he continued spewing the sa nonsense. “Even if I draw my sword, it’s not as if I can defeat you. Aren’t you forcing to commit suicide at this rate?”

“Argh!” Bai Ruanqing felt deeply stifled within.

If your forehead was laden with sweat and you were gasping for air, I might still be able to believe that you are really no match for .

But here you are, yawning and scratching your back lazily, not even bothering to put on an act... Are you ssing with ?

Frustrated, Bai Ruanqing’s movents grew faster and faster, but her opponent, despite repeatedly claiming that he was not a match for her, managed to match her speed with ease. It was as if he was a leaf on the ocean; no matter how powerful the waves and ocean currents were, they were unable to drown it.

“Draw. Your. Sword!”

This continued for twenty moves, but Bai Ruanqing was unable to even nick Zhang Xuan’s sleeves. Unable to stand being looked down upon like that, she was starting to lose her temper. “Don’t bla for getting nasty!”

Hu!

With a flick of her sword, she executed her strongest trump card, the Heavysnow Swordsmanship.

She had never been a patient person, or else she would not have ended up crippling so many core disciples.

Her inability to harm the other party despite the moves that she had executed thus far had ground the little bit of patience she had down to nothing.

Her sword qi materialized as snow, causing the temperature in the surroundings to plumt.

“Sigh...” Walking calmly amid the other party’s swordsmanship, Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella as he sighed deeply. “I really wish to live a low-profile life... but why do you have to force so?”

All he wanted to do was to read his books and advance his cultivation quietly... Why was this simply so hard?

Even while he was just visiting a library, soone simply grabbed him from where he was and forced him into a fight. Just how in the world did I offend you for you to have to ruin my peaceful life like that?

“What are you saying?” Bai Ruanqing roared as she saw Zhang Xuan muttering to himself, seemingly unconcerned by her strongest move at all. However, the next instant, a thought ca to her mind, and she widened her eyes in astonishnt, “Wait a mont, it can’t be that you are actually...”

Within the sa cultivation realm, most core disciples would not be able to withstand her Heavysnow Swordsmanship, let alone an inner disciple. Even Liu Lujie would be defeated swiftly under its might!

Yet, this little-known person was able to tread between her attacks without sustaining the slightest damage.

She could not help recalling the person who had killed her twice back in the Ethereal Hall—I Am Low Profile!

Could that mysterious person really be the young man before her?

Just as Bai Ruanqing spoke her doubts, the young man before her sighed deeply as his leisurely eyes suddenly turned frighteningly sharp. “Since I can’t hide it any longer, I’ll have to ask you to pardon for my discourtesy...”

Hu!

The next instant, a palm strike appeared right before her.

His arm was not long, but it imdiately sealed her sword qi. The imnse force coming at her caused Bai Ruanqing’s breathing to beco a little ragged as she struggled to catch her breath.

“No...”

Not expecting that a Dinsion Shatterer realm consummation cultivator would be able to bring out such trendous might, Bai Ruanqing narrowed her eyes as she swiftly released the seal on her cultivation.

Kacha! Kacha!

In an instant, her cultivation rose back up to the Pseudo Immortal realm, and it was still surging upward.

Lesser Pseudo Immortal!

Great Pseudo Immortal!

Earthly Pseudo Immortal!

Heavenly Pseudo Immortal!

Lesser True Immortal!

Just as many had guessed, she had overco the limitations of the Pseudo Immortal realm and reached the True Immortal realm!

True Immortal realm experts were rumored to possess boundless zhenqi. Even in the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, she was already more than qualified to beco an inner elder.

Hu!

Even as her cultivation returned to normal, the first thing she did was retreat, but for so reason, no matter where she retreated to, the palm strike continued following her closely. It was almost as if the other party was able to predict her movents.

“How is this possible? Are you really a Dinsion Shatterer realm consummation cultivator?” Bai Ruanqing was frenzied.

She could clearly feel that the other party’s cultivation was only at Dinsion Shatterer realm consummation, but for so reason, despite having regained her true cultivation as a Lesser True Immortal, she was actually unable to dodge his attack!

It was as if the other party was able to read into her!

But how could that be?

The Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion was filled with remarkable geniuses, and there were a handful of people were able to challenge those whose cultivation was beyond them. But usually, a cultivation stage or two was the limit. After all, everyone there was an expert, and the cultivation techniques and sword arts that they all practiced were the sa.

Yet, as a Lesser True Immortal fighting against a Dinsion Shatterer realm cultivator, she actually felt helpless.

Really, how powerful was this fellow?

“I don’t believe it!”

Releasing another powerful surge of energy, Bai Ruanqing’s prowess as a True Immortal pulsated into the surroundings. It was to such an extent that the Reinforcent Formation cast around the silent chamber was starting to creak under the pressure.

“Don’t bother, it’s useless.”

The young man’s voice echoed by her ear. Hu!

The palm strike abruptly vanished from view. Putong!

Bai Ruanqing’s body collapsed to the ground.

“What should I do?” Zhang Xuan sighed as he looked upon the unconscious Bai Ruanqing.

Due to the latter pushing him again and again, he felt like he might be pressured into doing sothing that he was reluctant about if he did not make a move soon!

But right after making a move, he regretted it.

If it had been any other inner disciple, he would still have had his own ans of dealing with the other party... but the person before him was the granddaughter of one of the Three Grand Elders, as well as a Lesser True Immortal!

His soul arts would not work as well against such an opponent, and if any mishap ca to the other party, he would surely suffer grave consequences.

He could not afford to beco a wanted man less than a day after entering the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion! “Outstanding people always have an endless source of trouble!” Zhang Xuan sighed helplessly.
