Jade Sword · Three Flowers Divine Dart

  Shi Sheng stopped the meaningless quarrel between Si Tu Ping and Qi Jin Chan: "You don't say how orthodox Emei Sect is, I won't say how superior Wudang Sect is. Let's just have a sword fight to decide who wins, like our predecessors."

  Jin Chan laughed and said, "I had the same intention." He pulled out a sword case taller than himself from behind the rock and carried it on his back. "The swordsmanship of my Emei Sect is far beyond your imagination, come at me all together then."

  Shi Sheng smiled and said, "Since we're going to have a sword fight, let's make it fair. We'll naturally settle the outcome one on one. Our Wudang Sect isn't like your Emei who don't know shame." He didn't wait for Jin Chan to say anything else, and hastily added, "We're all guests here, if we were to damage our host's property or furnishings, that wouldn't be the way of a guest. If you have the guts, follow us outside to the sea and find an island to have a fierce battle, how about it?"

  The cicada stomped its foot in hatred: "Who's afraid of you?"

  Five little kids pretended to be nonchalant and went down the mountain in batches, then gathered at the East Sea coast and rode their swords out to sea. They found an island reef about a hundred miles away and descended onto it with their sword lights. Shi Sheng said: "You are alone, we won't bully you, let's just have one game to determine the winner." Si Tu Ping and Bo Tian Tong both wanted to take action, but Shi Sheng stopped them, saying: "This time is a test between our Five Peaks and Emei, Ping brother, you're older than him, if you go on stage it would be bullying. Besides, Emei sect is best at sinister plots, who knows if they have helpers hiding around? You and Master Zhuang can just observe from the side and help me strategize."

  "Are you done nagging? If you keep going on, tomorrow's moon will rise! Otherwise, you can all go up together."

  Shi Sheng Dao said: "I'm ready, don't cry later if I lose!" Three silver lights shot out of his mouth.

  "Everything will be done according to the rules of Doujian, life and death are not discussed!" A loud thunderclap sounded, and two sword auras, one purple and one red, shot out from the scabbard on Golden Cicada's back, flying towards Shi Sheng with a swoosh. Shi Sheng concentrated his spirit and energy, opening up three Taibai dividing light swords to meet the attack head-on. As soon as the blades touched, Golden Cicada's sword emitted bursts of thunderous roars, exploding into clusters of purple-red light balls. Shi Sheng's sword, however, burst forth with a silver glow, like a scattering of starlight.

  Tai Bai's Taibai Splitting Light Sword clashed with Yuanyang Thunderbolt Sword, and the two were evenly matched. Shi Sheng's expression was focused, his small hand grasping the sword incantation, unfolding the Taiyi Sword Incantation he had bitterly cultivated for years, urging the three flying swords to move like a comet, flying up and down, wildly slashing and shooting at the opponent. Jin Chan also went all out, unfolding the Emei School's Shaoclear Sword Incantation, urging the pair of flying swords to produce thunderous sounds, the sword momentum swimming like a dragon, dissolving the opponent's attacks one by one.

  Jincheng was taught by his mother, Xun Lan, and often sparred with his older sister, Qi Lingyun. The Emei School's Shaoqing Swordsmanship was unparalleled in the world, and even slightly inferior side door scattered immortals couldn't defeat him. Previously, Shi Sheng had learned the swordsmanship of Extreme Joy True Person passed down to Lu Min, which although not top-notch, was still quite powerful. After arriving at Mount Wutai, Yue Qing favored his talent and let him follow Si Tu Ping in the Huang Ji Palace, where Yue Qing personally taught and transmitted the Taiyi Swordsmanship. Shi Sheng's innate abilities and comprehension could be said to be the best on Mount Wutai, and within a few years he had practiced to the level of great accomplishment. The three flying swords moved as if flying in his hands, with divine transformations.

  Two men fought for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, and Jin Chan was gradually unable to withstand being killed by San Kou Tai Bai's divided light sword. The Mandarin Duck Thunder Sword could only defend around his body, and several times the silver star sword edge almost sprayed onto his face, urgently making his complexion turn white. He tightly bit his lip, suddenly reversing the flying sword, borrowing the double swords' collision, violently rising a large piece of light rain, covering himself as he took out a slingshot from his bosom, loading a gold pellet, shooting it towards Shi Sheng.

  Bo Tian Tong was the first to notice something was amiss and shouted loudly: "Be careful!"

  A golden light flashed in an arc towards Shi Sheng, but before Bu Tian's words had fallen, Shi Sheng had already used the "Capturing Dragon and Crane" technique to catch the sword light in his hand. It was a golden ball the size of a dragon eye, with talismans carved on its surface.

  Jin Chan was shocked to see that Shi Sheng had caught the golden pellet with his bare hands. The slingshot and pellets were gifts from Master Canxia a few days ago, and even a tiger or snake demon with hundreds of years of cultivation wouldn't be able to withstand them. One pellet would be enough to cause severe injury, even if one's life was spared. Unexpectedly, Shi Sheng, who was still young, had managed to catch it. Jin Chan took a deep breath and shot the remaining eleven golden pellets in rapid succession. Shi Sheng didn't hold back either, catching each pellet with his hands before slipping them into his sleeves. In an instant, he had collected all twelve pellets and asked Jin Chan with a smile: "Do you have any other treasures? Bring them out and see if I can catch them!"

  Jin Chan was ashamed and frustrated: "Our Emei sect has many masters, my swordsmanship is the worst, you won against me, it's not a glorious victory."

  Shi Sheng smiled and said: "That's also to say, you admit that this sword fight was lost to me?"

  "You're dreaming! I'd rather die than admit defeat!" Jin Chan let out three bursts of true energy, urging his twin swords to crackle with lightning speed, determined to fight Shi Sheng to the death, even resorting to a mutually destructive technique.

  Jin Chan was extremely careful in his response to the attack, and he continued to suppress Shi Sheng's blows. The two remained locked in a stalemate for half an hour, until Jin Chan finally couldn't hold on any longer. A ray of light from the sword sliced through the left side of his hair knot on top of his head, cutting off half of it. Jin Chan felt a chill run down his spine as his entire body broke out in goosebumps. He hastily hugged his head and rolled away to a safe distance. When he got back up, Shi Sheng had used two swords to bind the Mandarin Duck Thunderbolt Sword, leaving only one sword to press against Jin Chan's neck: "Do you admit defeat?"

  "Go ahead and kill me! The Emei Sect doesn't have any cowards who admit defeat!"

  "Fine, I'll cut off your head and show it to your mother!" Shi Sheng shouted loudly, and the flying sword silver awn on the Golden Cicada Sword burst out, seemingly about to behead Jin Chan in the next moment.

  "You demon children, you're going too far!" Suddenly a tender shout came from the air, and four girls appeared out of thin air. They were Baiyun Dashi's disciples: Yu Fangheng, Li Wenyuan, Wan Zhen, and Yunzi Xiu, who had just entered the sect. The four of them simultaneously released their flying swords. Yu Fangheng used Taibai Fenguang Sword to rescue Jinchun, while Li Wenyuan flew her sword to defend against Situ Ping's three men. Meanwhile, Wan Zhen cursed incessantly as she flew her sword to behead Shisheng: "Evil demons and outsiders, accept your death quickly!"

  Situ Ping angrily shouted: "Do we fear you because of your numerical superiority?" He sent out his flying sword to slash Wan Zhen, but it was immediately caught by Li Wenyan.

  Shi Sheng burst out laughing: "The Emei Sect is indeed shameless! They agreed to a fair duel, but since they can't beat us, they resort to ganging up on us!" He recalled his three flying swords and charged at Wan Zhen.

  Wanjian Kuang urged Feijian to fly, and pressed down on Shisheng: "With your kind of demonic Dao little monster, what can be said about benevolence, righteousness, and fairness?"

  Tian Tong had originally intended to make friends with Shi Sheng, but after hearing Wan Zhen's words, he angrily took out his geomancy flying crystal sword: "The Emei Sect is indeed lawless and shameless!"

  Yu Fang Heng hastily wielded his sword to intervene in Bo Tian Tong's fight, shouting: "Everyone stop! Listen to me for a moment!"

  "Wan Zhen said: 'Evil demons and heretics, kill them first!' From his sleeve flew out dozens of Frost Thunder Pearls, exploding around Shi Sheng."

  Shi Sheng quickly wrapped the Lí Gǒu Zhōng around his body, a chaotic mass enveloped him from head to toe, thunder beads exploded one after another, all blocked by the Huányuán True Qi, the cold air that condensed into bone marrow spread out, and frost flowers floated down in mid-air.

  Shi Sheng shouted loudly in Li Gou's voice, "We originally said that the two factions would have a fair duel here. You, demoness, not only use numbers to your advantage but also dare to secretly shoot arrows at people. Do you think we don't have any magical artifacts?"

  "That's right!" Shi Er said! Situ Ping had already taken out the yin-yang pot on one side, and saw that the purple gold pot was spinning in his palm. The two kinds of true fire, Taiyang and Taisyin, were spraying outward wildly, not only Li Wenyuan, but also Wan Zhen and Yu Fangheng were all wrapped up inside.

  "Monster, you're getting too arrogant!" Wan Zhen saw the danger and merged with her sword, bursting into flames and smoke as she slashed towards Situ Ping. However, Shi Sheng's flying sword blocked her attack. With a grit of her teeth, she released the Three Flower Divine Dart passed down by her master. As soon as it was launched, three colors of golden, red, and white light intertwined like a dart. The first segment burst forth with a million golden flowers, exploding into thousands of electric snakes that blew open the flames in the cauldron and went straight for Situ Ping.

  Situ Ping didn't expect Mo Fa Bao to be so powerful, and he couldn't help but take a shock. Fortunately, Bu Tian Tong was standing beside him, seeing that the situation was not good, he hastily released the Earthwood Two-Line True Qi, which rotated and entwined with the Three Flower Divine Arrow, immediately exploding into golden flower electric snakes. However, it still couldn't withstand it, and he was also shocked, stretching out his hand to grab Situ Ping and retreat to one side, opening his mouth to spout true qi, condensing the Earthwood Two-Line True Qi into crystal sand, shooting out like rain, flying and hitting Wan Zhen like hail.
