49: The grindstone is dizzy

“A little ant?”

Although Man Ba’s eyes were bloodshot,

he was still startled by the clear-faced young man who suddenly appeared in front of Sword Dust.

How did he pop out?

He didn’t even see it clearly.

He just felt his aura slightly.

Immediately, his face showed mockery, disdain, and cruelty.

A mere ant dares to overestimate his abilities; just kill them all.

Of course.

He didn’t know how terrifying Li Luo was.

Because when he stepped onto the suspended island last night, he hadn’t even seen Li Luo’s face before Li Luo directly helped him fall asleep.

“It’s him!”

On the high observation platform, the Seventh Sword Enforcement Elder, Sword Without Trace, also suddenly stood up.

His face was full of shock.

“Seventh Sword Enforcement Elder, why are you so flustered? What’s the matter?”

Wan Qingliu frowned slightly and asked.

After all.

The First Sword Enforcement Elder, Sword Unbinding, was shocked because he discovered a peerless Sword Cultivator prodigy.

And you, you’re constantly startled, scaring the hell out of me.

“Reporting to Sect Master, the person who defeated me with one move that day was precisely that young man in green!”

Sword Without Trace pointed at Li Luo and said.

Upon hearing this,

the surrounding important figures were shocked.

And some high-ranking members of the Qinghe Sect were not just shocked; suddenly, their eyes were filled with fervent desire.

Greed.

According to Sword Without Trace, that day, the young man had obtained a Treasure Art from the stone wall!

“Send people to keep an eye on him.”

Wan Qingliu’s eyes also flickered with a hint of fervor.

He said to the air beside him.

“Yes.”

Strangely, a voice responded.

It was a Shadow of the Shadow Pavilion, skilled in stealth and assassination.

Sword Without Trace wanted to say something, but he didn’t speak.

After all, the Qinghe Sect’s internal affairs were rampant with factionalism, and some Elders were inherently greedy. Even if he spoke, they probably wouldn’t listen.

However.

He felt that the young man in green who defeated him with one strike that day was truly somewhat uncanny.

It would be best not to provoke him if possible.

Even.

He looked at the First Sword Enforcement Elder, Sword Unbinding, who he usually didn’t get along with.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He had suffered a loss at Li Luo’s hands, so how could he warn Sword Unbinding?

It’s boring to be unlucky alone; it’s fun to be unlucky together.

“Die!”

Man Ba slammed his palm down.

This palm strike contained immense power.

Let alone flesh and blood, even a stone mountain would be shattered by it.

Facing Man Ba’s palm, Li Luo didn’t even glance at him. He assessed Sword Dust’s situation, smiled, and nodded.

He had indeed achieved an Epiphany.

【Ding, congratulations, Little Master! Disciple Sword Dust has achieved an Epiphany. Reward: One Epiphany opportunity.】

【Ding, triggering a hundredfold critical strike, Epiphany has been upgraded to Super Epiphany!】

【Would you like to start the Epiphany now?】

“Hmm?”

Li Luo was a bit confused. Did Epiphany also distinguish between normal Epiphany and Super Epiphany?

Rumble!

Just as Li Luo was momentarily stunned,

Man Ba’s palm directly struck Li Luo’s head.

“It’s over, it’s BBQ.”

In the distance, some Cultivators covered their eyes, unable to bear to watch.

It was as if, in the next moment, they would witness the bloody scene of Li Luo’s head exploding.

“Crack.”

“Ow~”

However, to the shock of the surrounding Cultivators, there was a sound of something shattering.

But it didn’t come from the young man in green.

Instead, it came from Man Ba?!

Because, in the arena, Man Ba’s palm, which had just struck Li Luo’s head, was now completely limp.

It was as if the bones inside had been crushed to dust.

Iron Head Skill?

Countless people were shocked.

However, only Man Ba himself knew what was happening.

What Iron Head Skill?

His palm hadn’t even touched Li Luo’s head before it was met by a Protective Aura, accompanied by terrifying Sword Qi.

It directly shattered the bones within his palm.

He had hit a steel plate.

This damned Black Iron Grade Sect—Haoran Sect—was too bizarre.

In an instant, Man Ba was as if he had been awakened by the blood in his urine after passing a kidney stone, recalling the strange events of last night.

At this moment,

while letting out a pig-like shriek of agony, he was so scared that cold sweat broke out all over his body.

“Get lost.”

Whoosh.

Then, everyone witnessed an even more incredible sight.

The young man in green merely waved his hand casually, a gesture much like swatting a fly.

“Thud.”

With a muffled sound, the burly man nearly two meters tall, Man Ba, was sent flying backward like a little chick.

Crack, crack~~~

What was even more chilling was that,

as Man Ba coughed up blood and flew backward, sounds of bones breaking echoed from his body.

How much force was in that casual wave of the hand?

The Cultivators on the scene were dumbfounded.

In their minds, this young man in green was probably a transformed Divine Beast cub; his defense and strength were simply too terrifying.

“Bang.”

It wasn’t until Man Ba’s body crashed onto the battle platform, even cracking it, that he stopped, spitting blood.

“A whetstone should know its place. My Disciple has entered an Epiphany, so hurry up and scram!”

Li Luo’s voice was calm.

“You… Pfft!”

Upon hearing this, Man Ba felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, almost fainting.

He pointed at Li Luo, blood spurting from his mouth.

This guy actually called him a whetstone.

It turned out that his pressure, the life-and-death crisis, had caused Sword Dust to enter an Epiphany.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

“However, you can keep your life for now. Let my Disciple take it himself.”

Li Luo added.

Killing someone’s spirit!

Upon hearing this, countless Cultivators around were speechless Plus.

“Pfft!”

Indeed, after hearing that, Man Ba once again spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and directly fainted.

“Swish, swish.”

Soon, people from Ba Wang Sect took Man Ba and his Disciple away.

However, they glared fiercely at Li Luo.

Clearly, this grudge was now set.

However, Li Luo didn’t care in the slightest.

It was true that he was cautious, but he wasn’t cowardly.

He didn’t seek trouble, but if trouble truly came, he would truly step up and truly handle it.

“Whoosh.”

With a sound of rushing wind, a figure like a sword, Sword Unbinding, finally appeared beside Li Luo and his Disciple.

He didn’t even look at Li Luo, his eyes fixed intently on Sword Dust.

His expression was like that of a magical Indian man seeing a Bengal monitor lizard.

Even his breathing became a little rapid.

Is he gay?

Li Luo wondered if this old man had a serious illness.

The confrontation between Haoran Sect and Ba Wang Sect had temporarily concluded.

The referee merely reiterated the rules of the competition, then lightly brushed over Ba Wang Sect’s rule-breaking and allowed the competition to continue.

Dozens of battle platforms began simultaneously, with the first round being a direct elimination match.

If you lost, you wouldn’t even qualify for a ranking, unable to make any waves.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz.”

A Sword Qi storm seemed to appear around Sword Dust’s body.

It slowly dissipated after a long time.

【Ding, congratulations, Little Master! Disciple Sword Dust’s Slaughter Sword Intent has broken through to seventy percent. Reward: Two hundred years of Sword Intent comprehension.】

【Would you like to claim it?】

The System’s voice echoed in his mind again.

Li Luo looked at Sword Dust, growing even more satisfied.

Truly a good Disciple for his master.

“Hmm?”

Sword Dust opened his eyes and saw a strange old man staring at him with fervent eyes, making him feel a bit uneasy all over.

“Young man, I am Sword Unbinding, the First Sword Enforcement Elder of Qinghe Sect. Are you willing to become my personal Disciple?”

Sword Unbinding asked with enthusiasm.

Upon hearing this, gasps of cold air echoed from all around.

They looked at Sword Dust with envy and jealousy.
