Chapter 1023 - Reversal  

When the disciples of the Omega Sword Sect arrived, they were aggressive and made no secret of their hostility.

Yun Qingbai was the pride and joy of the entire Omega Sword Sect and was the idol of the younger generation in the sect.

In their hearts, Yun Qingbai was like a mythical figure that could not be desecrated or slandered.

Yet, his past records on the Twelve Towers were being broken one by one, so how could they possibly stand still?

“Just what are you looking at?”

When he sensed the unfriendly look from the serious and thin young man, Xiao Qinghe snorted coldly. He did not mince his words nor reign in his domineering demeanor.

Even though he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, that didn't mean he was afraid of the people from the Omega Sword Sect.

The stern man was stunned for a moment before he squinted slightly to look at Xiao Qinghe. He finally said, "I'm Hua Yunzhen, may I have the pleasure of knowing who you are?"

Hua Yunzhen was one of the core disciples of the Omega Sword Sect!

The Omega Sword Sect had "Thirteen Swords", who represented the thirteen core successors who have reached the pinnacle.

Hua Yunzhen was the ninth ranked out of all of them and was called the Soul Slayer Sword.

The Omega Sword Sect’s Thirteen Swords were all well-known and unparalleled. This was true not only in Baiyujing, but also in the entire East Victory World.

Once he found out that the thin and stern man was the Soul Slayer Sword Hua Yunzhen, Xiao Qinghe restrained his contempt and responded, "Moon Sun Sacred Palace, Xiao Qinghe."

As soon as these words came out, the people stirred restlessly.

Earlier, when these descendants of Omega Sword Sect had first arrived here, they almost ignored and ignored Xiao Qinghe’s presence.

It was only when Xiao Qinghe scolded Hua Yunzhen that they took note of him, and they were very displeased with his domineering attitude.

But now that they found out his identity, they finally realized just who this guy was.

The Moon Sun Sacred Palace was an extremely ancient orthodoxy, and when it came to its foundation, it was definitely not any weaker than the Omega Sword Sect.

Just as the Omega Sword Sect had its Thirteen Swords, who were famous all over the world, the Moon Sun Sacred Palace also had its sixteen "Scorching Suns." They had incredible combat power and were also well-known far and wide.

Xiao Qinghe was a peerless figure ranked seventh in the Scorching Suns.

The place fell silent for a moment as no one had expected that one of the Scorching Suns from the Moon Sun Sacred Palace would appear in front of the Dao Practice Tower in Baiyujing.

Hua Yunzhen, in particular, had a frightening coldness in his eyes as he said, "Is the person who is breaking the records of the Twelve Towers one after another a successor of your Moon Sun Sacred Palace?"

Everyone else’s expressions were also flickering.

If this were true, then the meaning would be different as it was very likely to cause conflicts between the younger generations of the two great sects!

"Do I need to tell you this kind of thing?"

Xiao Qinghe looked cold and aloof, but he sighed secretly in his heart. It would have been great if that monstrous freak was a disciple of their Moon Sun Sacred Palace…

There was a hint of coldness between Hua Yunzhen's brows. "It's okay not to say anything. When the young man walks out of the Dao Practice Tower later, I will 'ask him for advice.’"

He had emphasized the ‘ask him for advice’ part.

Xiao Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly before he suddenly sneered and said, "Although the Twelve Towers are located in Baiyujing, they are not owned by your Omega Sword Sect. Why, do you guys only allow Yun Qingbai to set a record here but not allow others to break it? This is too overbearing!"

He mentioned the name "Yun Qingbai'' in a disdainful and mocking tone, which made Hua Yunzhen and the others' faces darken. Their eyes as they looked at Xiao Qinghe became much colder.

"We just want to know the identity of that young man, so why are you making such a fuss?" Hua Yunzhen's voice was ice cold.

"Not necessarily? That guy has already broken four of Yun Qingbai's records so far, so can you really hold back?" Xiao Qinghe sneered.

"Then it depends on whether that friend cooperates or not." Hua Yunzhen had no expression on his face.action

Xiao Qinghe's heart sank as he had realized that today's situation might be difficult to deal with.

If that monster had an outstanding background, then maybe he could make Hua Yunzhen and the others a bit more cautious when dealing with him.

But if it is really like what the freak himself had said, that he was a cultivator with no family and no sect, then it would be really troublesome!

The atmosphere became silent and depressing as if a storm was about to come.

In front of the barren and deserted Dao Practice Tower, the disciples of the Omega Sword Sect emitted chilly auras, making the place become incredibly depressing.

In the distance, many cultivators were curious about what was going on.

After all, Hua Yunzhen’s group had blasted through the sky earlier, and the sword light they controlled was as dense as rain. This attracted the attention of the entire city.

But these curious experts only stood thousands of feet away and did not dare to approach.

"Xiao Qinghe, no matter what relationship you have with that young man, I advise you to leave now and not to interfere in this matter."

Within the stifling silence, Hua Yunzhen suddenly made a sound. His eyes were like a pair of sharp swords, showing a sharp edge as they locked on Xiao Qinghe coldly.

"Hehe." Xiao Qinghe smiled, but his smile was extremely cold. "Do you think I, Xiao Qinghe, need to follow your orders?"

“If you refuse a courtesy, you might be forced to eat dirt later on!”

"It seems that the disciple of the Moon Sun Sacred Place is determined to oppose us."

"I have reason to suspect that he and that young man are most likely in the same group. I am afraid that they have evil intentions and ulterior motives for entering Baiyujing together!"

The disciples of the Omega Sword Sect all looked aggressive. After all, this was Baiyujing, and it was their territory. So what if a disciple from the Moon Sun Sacred Palace was present?

Even they would have to lower their heads here!

"Is this how the Omega Sword Sect acts? You all are really domineering and arrogant! Come, come, I want to see just how you guys plan to deal with me!"

Xiao Qinghe was so angry that he began to laugh. His clothes ruffled, and an invisible force spread out, disturbing the situation.

Hua Yunzhen and the others had cold looks. They were sword cultivators, so they had similar temperaments to their weapons. Furthermore, they were decisive in killing. Being provoked like this made them feel quite sullen.

"Since that's the case, then let me experience the power of the Seventh Scorching Sun of the Moon Sun Sacred Palace. If you lose, then you'd better scram from Baiyujing with your tail between your legs!"

Hua Yunzhen strode out, and his thin figure resembled a sword out of its sheath, bursting out with surprising sharpness. His dark blue robe fluttered around his impressive figure.

In an instant, the winds surged, and the void wailed, making many people feel suffocated.

Clang!

A two-foot-long spirit sword that glowed a bright blood red rushed out and appeared above Hua Yunzhen's head, exuding a murderous intent that felt like it came from an all-encompassing hellscape.

The Soul Slayer Sword!

In the distance, many experts felt their hearts tremble. This was a fierce weapon. It had been passed down from ancient times to the present, and during that time, it had drunk the blood of many strong cultivators.

"Hmph, how brazen!" Seeing this, Xiao Qinghe flicked his wrist, and a mysterious metal spear emerged. It resembled the sun reflecting from the sky and was filled with golden radiance.

Rumble!

Before the battle broke out, the fierce auras emanating from the two had already collided fiercely, exploding like volcanoes. This caused the void between the two to explode like glass with a loud boom.

The nearby disciples of the Omega Sword Sect were also astonished. They now realized that while Xiao Qinghe was a bit crazy, he was worthy of being titled the Seventh Scorching Sun of the Moon Sun Sacred Palace.

"Whoa! One of them is one of the Thirteen Swords of the Omega Sword Sect, and the other is one of the sixteen Scorching Suns of the Moon Sun Sacred Palace. The two are going to fight here!"

"This is a battle of the strongest geniuses! This is something very rare, which means everyone here is quite lucky!"

More and more cultivators began watching from a distance, and the crowd became densely packed. They were all showing excitement at this moment as a matchless showdown was about to begin, making their blood boil.

"This is the last time I’ll give you this warning. If you leave now, then we’ll let everything go. Otherwise, I can only personally send you on your way!"

Hua Yunzhen's figure was stick straight as his robes fluttered around him. The Soul Slayer Sword above his head emitted loud noises, like someone hankering for blood, and its power was unusually fierce.

"Stop talking nonsense, and fight if you want to fight!" Xiao Qinghe snorted coldly, pointing his spear as a violent and unparalleled fighting spirit emerged like a tide, covering the sky and earth.

"You don't know what’s good for you!"

Hua Yunzhen didn't hesitate any longer. He stepped forward as the aura around him roared like thunder, and a fierce, murderous intent broke through the clouds in the sky.

But before he could make a move, his eyes blurred, and he saw someone standing in front of Xiao Qinghe. This person had their back turned towards him, so he was unable to see their face clearly.

"Since you've been told to leave, then why didn’t you leave?" This person was Lin Xun.

"I..." Xiao Qinghe's eyes widened. He didn't realize when Lin Xun had walked out of the Dao Practice Tower.

“Let’s go.” Lin Xun patted his shoulder.

"Hey, kid, just who the hell are you? Scram and don't disturb the battle!" shouted the disciples from Omega Sword Sect loudly.

The battle was on the cusp of breaking out, yet a young man had appeared suddenly and interrupted the situation, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

“Scram!”

"Damn it, this was supposed to be an absolute showdown. Just which brat has lost his mind and decided to come out and disrupt the situation?"

The experts who were watching from a distance were also dissatisfied. They had been excitedly preparing to watch the battle, but it had been interrupted like this. Thus, they all pointed their fingers at Lin Xun, the one who spoiled it all.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Xiao Qinghe acted very obediently and immediately restrained his fighting spirit. He turned his head and planned to leave without hesitating.

Lin Xun had already come out, so why would he foolishly risk his life battling with these disciples of the Omega Sword Sect?

After all, this was Baiyujing, and it was the territory of Omega Sword Sect. Even if you beat up the weak, the strong would appear later. Thus, even if he could defeat Hua Yunzhen, his luck run out sooner or later.

“You want to leave like that? Fat chance!” Hua Yunzhen’s face was ice cold as a terrifying aura came out of him.

Earlier, he was ready to start fighting, but he was disturbed by Lin Xun, which made him get disrupted. In fact, he had almost lost his rhythm.

The most intolerable thing was that Lin Xun had turned his back to him from the very beginning and had left as soon as he finished talking to Xiao Qinghe. It was obvious that he didn't take Hua Yunzhen seriously.

Swish~

Without any hesitation, when he finished talking, Hua Yunzhen rushed forward. The bright red Soul Slaughtering Sword swept out, flashing with a dazzling, blood-colored sword intent.

This slash came down as fast as lightning with incomparable killing intent. It was also filled with a powerful ‘Intense Blood Dao” aura as it soared towards Lin Xun’s back.

From afar, it looked as if the gate to purgatory had been broken open with one strike of the sword. It was truly terrifying.

“Be careful…” Xiao Qinghe felt his heart shake.

However, before he could finish what he was about to say, he saw Lin Xun casually wave a hand without looking back.

Bang!

Under countless people's eyes, that stunning sword intent exploded in the void like a piece of paper mache.

The resulting explosion resembled blooming fireworks that were beautiful to behold.
