Chapter 500: A Group of Old, Weak, Sick, and Disabled!

"Cao Tailai, setting up such a spectacle now won't help you win the triennial martial arts competition at all!"

Before Ling Feng could voice his complaint, Daoist Tian Yun couldn't resist mocking him.

"Hmph, our sect aims to completely crush the other two sects' morale right from the start!"

Cao Tailai, clad in a golden robe with a golden sword on his back, had a gleam in his eyes and was clearly confident about the triennial martial arts competition.

This confidence stemmed from the fact that the Liuyun Sword Sect had recruited a genius in the sword dao!

Although only at the tenth level of the Pulse Formation Realm, this genius had already grasped the embryonic form of a sword will!

Yes, the embryonic form of the sword will, not the complete sword will.

In the Liuyun Sword Sect, such a talent was top-notch, but in the Tianwei Academy, it was nothing special.

Geniuses who had mastered a sword will were abundant in Tianwei Academy.

Though, none had sword wills as rare as Ling Feng, who had comprehended both the Slaughterous Sword Will and the Reincarnated Sword Will.

"Hahaha, Cao Tailai, over the past three years, your cultivation hasn't improved, but your joking skills have!"

Daoist Tian Yun, with a wave of his large sleeve, ascended to the central high platform.

According to the rules of the triennial martial arts competition, the sect leaders of the top three sects took turns hosting the event. This time, it was Qiankun Sect's turn.

On the high platform, Daoist Tian Yun greeted everyone with a fist-and-palm salute and said loudly, "It's time for the triennial martial arts competition again. There's not much change in the Qiankun Sect and the Liuyun Sword Sect, but the Wenxian Sect has even changed its leader."

"Hmph!" Cao Tailai sneered. "Lin Canglang was too useless. He even lost to a young boy."

He glanced at Ling Feng, sneering. "Boy, are you going up yourself, or will that old man beside you take your place? Hahaha!"

"Watch your mouth, Cao Tailai! Show some respect to our leader!"

Elder Yao's eyes flashed coldly as he reprimanded Cao Tailai loudly.

"Haha, who knew you'd be so loyal to this young kid." Cao Tailai ignored Elder Yao's angry glare and smirked. "Wenxian Sect, Wenxian Sect, who knew it would end up as a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled!"

Elder Yao was old, and naturally, Ling Feng was considered weak. [1]

"Hahaha..."

The disciples of the Liuyun Sword Sect burst into laughter, completely dismissing the Wenxian Sect.

Even during their usual outings, the Liuyun Sword Sect disciples were always this arrogant and domineering.

"This is too much! You bastards!" Su Hongxiu trembled with rage, pointing at those shameless individuals, though she couldn't come up with any harsh words to scold them with.

The Wenxian Sect members were all indignant as their anger surged.

"No matter. On the stage, the strong and the weak will be evident."

Ling Feng raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

He stood up slowly with a calm expression and glanced at Cao Tailai, the leader of Liuyun Sword Sect. "Since I am the leader of Wenxian Sect, I will naturally take on your challenge when the time comes."

"Hmph, you?" A golden-clad youth beside Cao Tailai sneered. "I want to see if you even have the qualifications to challenge our leader!"

The speaker was none other than the top genius of the Liuyun Sword Sect, Ximen Chuiliu!

In the blink of an eye...

Ximen Chuiliu unsheathed his sword!

His figure flashed, crossing dozens of zhang in an instant, as if the distance was only a step away!

A chill enveloped the area, and a hint of amusement flashed in Ling Feng's eyes. This person did have some talent to be able to comprehend the sword will of the ice attribute.

However, in Ling Feng's eyes, this sword will was akin to a baby taking its first steps.

"Competing with me in sword will?" Ling Feng chuckled, and his Slaughterous Sword Will erupted.

Ling Feng stood still, not moving an inch. As his sword will condensed, Ximen Chuiliu's killing intent disintegrated bit by bit. By the time his sword neared Ling Feng, it was already spent.

"Go back!"

With a cold snort Ling Feng struck out with his palm, sending Ximen Chuiliu flying back. He crashed heavily into the ranks of the Liuyun Sword Sect.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Ximen Chuiliu stumbled back several steps, with several elders intervening, yet they were still pushed back a few steps before being able to stabilize.

"Are all Liuyun Sword Sect members so impolite?"

Ling Feng stood with his hands behind his back, lightly dusting off his sleeve. His voice carried a lazy tone as if he hadn't exerted any effort at all.

The disciples and elders of the Liuyun Sword Sect were all stupefied.

Who is this boy, and why does he possess such terrifying strength?

The disciples of Qiankun Sect were equally shocked.

Even Daoist Tian Yun, standing in the middle of the platform, narrowed his eyes, his face solemn.

This boy is not simple!

In fact, Ling Feng hadn't even used half of his strength. Otherwise, Ximen Chuiliu might have died on the spot.

He was here to subdue the other two sects, not to kill.

"Chuiliu, are you alright?" Cao Tailai glanced back at Ximen Chuiliu, his eyes filled with concern.

Ximen Chuiliu was a crucial card for the Liuyun Sword Sect. If he were injured, it could affect their performance in the final disciple battle.

"I'm fine. I'll be alright after a moment of rest," Ximen Chuiliu grunted, clenching his fists as he no longer displayed his previous arrogance.

"Take this!"

Ling Feng flicked his finger, sending a fourth-tier medicinal pill for restoring true qi towards Ximen Chuiliu. "This is a Spirit Condensing Pill. Now you can't say I hindered your disciple's true potential."

"Hahaha, indeed!" Elder Yao laughed heartily.

"Our Wenxian Sect would never take advantage of you!"

"The Liuyun Sword Sect is always cheating. The sect leader foresaw this, hahaha..."

"Bastard!"

Cao Tailai instinctively wanted to throw the pill away to avoid Ling Feng humiliating them.

However, when he saw the pill in his hand, which had four pill inscriptions indicating its fourth-tier grade, his heart skipped a beat.

T-This is a fourth-tier medicinal pill!

Consuming it would not only instantly restore true qi but would also likely enhance one’s bloodline and cultivation!

To give away such a precious pill so casually?

Ling Feng could afford to give it away, but Cao Tailai couldn't afford to throw it away!

I can't do it!

𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

I can't do it!

It was as if the pill was stuck to Cao Tailai's palm. Receiving this pill was shameful but he was reluctant to throw it away!

After a complex inner struggle, Cao Tailai gritted his teeth, shoved the pill into Ximen Chuiliu's hand, and growled, "Eat it!"
