A celestial leader had stepped forward and was waving his sword. "Stop the crap. Don't blame us for ransacking the Emperor Hall Sect!"
Yuan Ji asked, "You are?"
The celestial leader laughed, "Elder Kong Fu of the Mighty Sword Pavilion! Middle-tier Fourth Realm Cultivator!"
"What are your grievances again?" Yuan Ji asked. He had completely forgotten.
"The Northern Five Heaven Peaks..."
Yuan Ji was growling, "I ask for your grievances and you reply me with your demands. I guess that we can only settle our grievances with our swords now."
Elder Kong Fu was laughing. "This is my very intention too."
All the cultivators behind him were all laughing. It was because the Mighty Sword Pavilion was renowned for its sword arts. Even a fifth realm golden celestial may struggle under the attack of its superior sword art.
Fairy Ye Chengxi quickly stepped forward, "Brother Yuan Ji, please allow me…"
But Yuan Ji interrupted her with a gentle smile, "How can I bear to let my beloved Chengxi take the challenge in my place?"
He turned to Old Liu Xuan and said quietly, "My sword."
Old Liu Xuan quickly stepped forward with a heaven-step precious sword in both hands for Yuan Ji to take.
Elder Kong Fu laughed, "What is the use of a heaven-step precious sword? I only need the use of a half-step precious sword and I can send you to cry in front of Fairy Ye Chengxi and to show her that she has followed the wrong man. You are a piece of dung that covert a fairy flower."
Yuan Ji rolled his eyes and his pupils almost turned white. It was not because he disagreed with him but he had suddenly thought it may sound true after all!
How could he deserve the love of his precious disciple Fairy Ye Chengxi?
He had lied to her about his identity. He really felt unworthy of her and yet he could not resist her at all.
Therefore he could only sigh and said, "Indeed I am a dung."
When he had said that, all the protégés of the Emperor Hall Sect were panicky shouting. "No, Palace Master, you're not!"
At the same time, the cultivators from the opposing side were all laughing out loud. "Yes, he is indeed!"
Elder Kong Fu laughed jovially. "Let me take care of this piece of a dung then!"
Yuan Ji had unsheathed the heaven-step precious sword with his left hand, "Please give me your instructions then!"
Elder Kong Fu laughed as he moved to attack Yuan Ji with his sword, "I will definitely give you plenty of my instructions!"
The instant that he had swung his sword, his profound martial power began to cause a strong ripple that caused everyone to take a step or two back!
"Elder Kong Fu is so impressive…"
"This is the profound sword art of the Mighty Sword Pavilion! Today, we will have a real eye-opener…"
"This Palace Master Yuan Ji is dead for sure…"
"The Emperor Hall Sect is really blind for having a trash as a sect leader…"
"Pity Fairy Ye Chengxi. She is going to be a widow today…"
Just as everyone was singing their praises to Elder Kong Fu, Yuan Ji had swung the sword that was in his left hand and had sent Elder Kong Fu to fly all the way back to the entrance of the hall.
Everyone: …
Did they see what they were seeing?!
Even Fairy Ye Chengxi was gasping.
Many of the cultivators were blinking their eyes blankly; they did not even see anything and Elder Kong Fu was sent flying backward…
The protégés of the Emperor Hall Sect were staring blanking at their Palace Master…
Yuan Ji was frowning, "So weak? So this is the sword art of the Mighty Sword Pavilion? Haha."
"I am sect leader of the Profound Sword Sect, Yu Changhai. Please give me your instructions!" A peaked fourth realm cultivator had suddenly announced with a great shout.
"This is the sect leader of the Profound Sword Sect! The profound sword art of the Profound Sword Sect cannot be estimated…"
But barely had the praises ended, Yu Changhai was sent flying backward with a crashing hard knock against the iron pillar of the hall.
Everyone: …
Yuan Ji swept his eyes around him, "So who else is there that wants to challenge me?"
Another cultivator had stepped forward and shouted. "I'm Elder Xu Guoqi from the Spirit Weapons Clan!"
"This Elder Xu Guoqi is really formidable. He specializes in sword energy attacks. This time that Yuan Ji is a goner for sure!"
Elder Guoqi raised his sword forward and imbued his sword with his profound energies. In the next instant, he had sent a quick burst of sword energy as a projectile toward Yuan Ji!
Sword energy attacks are only usable by a rare few fourth realm cultivators. Roughly only 1 in 10 of the cultivators will be lucky enough to have the ability to convert their profound energy to sword energy.
Even a seventh realm cultivator may not necessary be a sword energy practitioner. Therefore sword energy practitioners are greatly feared for their ability to make a long range energy attack. Moreover the penetrating power of a sword energy attack is legendary and it can easily cut down the armors and profound aura of the opposition.
Yuan Ji raised his sword in an upward to downward swing before a wave of sword energy had suddenly burst from his sword like a ground dragon, tearing through the ground tiles in a straight line and immediately caused Elder Guoqi to fly backward and sustaining serious injuries.
As for Elder Guoqi's sword energy, it was just a puny burst of sword energy. The instant that Yuan Ji had unleashed his sword energy, it was quickly dissipated into nothingness.
Everyone was stunned!
"This is a Sword Energy Wave!"
A Sword Energy Wave was more powerful than any sword energy bursts and only a few formidable sword energy practitioners were able to use it. Any sword energy practitioner that could use one was naturally a genius and could be regarded as a powerful sword cultivator.
"This…this is impossible right? He is only a fourth realm cultivator?!"
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone had suddenly realized that the Emperor Hall Sect was not as weak as they had supposed.
Fairy Ye Chengxi was smiling secretly, "Has my old master regained his profound strength already? I should have realized that he is only toying with them when he is only using his left hand. He is three times as fast when he is using his right hand. Do they know that my old master is actually a Sword Saint and they are only courting their deaths for challenging him to a sword duel."
Yuan Ji frowned, "Are there more challengers?"
Naturally there were more challengers because he could see that there were five golden celestials that were standing at the back.
And now these five golden celestials were now looking at Yuan Ji with interest.
They did not act earlier because they were not interested to fight any cultivators that were below the fifth realm level.
The only strong opponent in their eyes were Fairy Ye Chengxi, who was a fifth realm golden celestial.
But now, they were now being forced to act or they would have wasted their time in coming here!
And now Yuan Ji was patiently waiting for them to introduce themselves.
