We Can't Win!?

Tianlu mountain was located north of the Green Sky Sect, not far from the center of the sect.

The disciples of the Green Sky Sect had always called it the Northern Mountain. There was a large spirit stone mine under the mountain. It was not an exaggeration to say that this was the foundation of the Green Sky Sect.

Ever since the Green Sky Sect had settled down in the Green Sky Mountain range, the spirit stone mine in the Northern Mountain had always been firmly in the hands of the Green Sky Sect. Even when the Green Sky Sect had fallen so far, they still wouldn't easily hand over the ownership.

As for the East Sun Sect, it was only a young sect in Longyan County. However, due to their extremely overbearing style of doing things, they had once beaten all of the older sects in Longyan County.

Previously, the Green Sky Sect was the number one sect in Longyan County. Under the deliberate suppression of the East Sun Sect, there were now less than two hundred disciples with mediocre cultivation talent within the sect.

Not to mention the huge family business of the Green Sky Sect that had been nibbled away by the East Sun Sect. After so many years, there was not much of anything left.

Now, all the cultivators in Longyan County knew that the East Sun Sect was about to be promoted to become a sixth rank sect. However, the sect was still short of land.

As long as the East Sun Sect could completely occupy the Northern Mountain area of the Green Sky Sect before the inspection of the cultivation officials three months later, the promotion would be definite.

This was also the reason why the East Sun Sect members had been coming to the Green Sky Sect to provoke them recently.

Xiaowu whose full name was Wu Mingyu had joined the Green Sky Sect at the same time as Ming Yuxuan. However, due to the great difference in their talent, Ming Yuxuan had long been promoted to the inner sect while Xiaowu had only joined the inner sect a few years ago.

Originally, Xiaowu had thought that he would at most be able to reach the Black Core Realm before his death.

He never expected that the sect master would refine a magical treasure called Wonder that had the effect of increasing the sect disciples' talent in Sword Dap.

Even if his talent was average, he was also blessed by fate. Not only did he successfully comprehend the complete sword intent, but his realm had also risen to the advanced stage of the Condensing Reality Realm. If he added in the ability he had as a sword cultivator, even if his opponent was at the beginning stage of the Origin Building Realm, he believed that he could fight against the opponent.

Xiaowu sat on the small hill opposite the mine, watching the outer sect disciples carry out baskets of newly mined spirit stones. He sighed in amazement at the sect master's strength while still being vigilant of the situation around him.

The five people from the East Sun Sect appeared above the spirit stone mine without hiding their tracks. With one look, it was obvious that this group of people couldn't hold themselves back and came looking for trouble again.

The leader of the team this time was the same disciple who had led the team last time, and it was also the same disciple who had injured Xiaowu severely with a sneak attack.

Both parties were enemies, and their eyes were red with hate the moment they saw each other.

"Why is it still the defeated dog guarding the mine? Is there no one left in the Green Sky Sect?"

"Senior brother, do you think such a short time is enough for this defeated dog to recover from his injuries?"

"Hmm? Wasn't our lesson for you enough last time? Are you still rushing to the Northern Mountain to look for a beating?"

...

The people of the East Sun Sect had always liked to make the enemy's hatred for them grow before a fight. It seemed that if they "won" with words, winning with their fists would be easier too.

"If senior sister hadn't shown mercy last time, did you think you could have made it back alive?" Wu Mingyu was a little angry after being ridiculed. It was true that he had embarrassed the sect last time. If the senior sister who was the chief lawyer hadn't come in time and intimidated the people of the East Sun Sect, they would have succeeded last time.

There were still many outer sect disciples in the mine behind him. He couldn't give the people of the East Sun Sect a chance. He had to end the battle quickly.

As soon as he finished saying that, Xiaowu didn't give the other party a chance to speak. He drew his sword and attacked.

Holding the hilt of his sword with his right hand, Xiaowu softly said, "The sword's name is Pine."

He drew his sword and simply slashed

The sword Qi attacked the five people of the East Sun Sect.

The people from the East Sun Sect didn't expect that Xiaowu would suddenly attack with a sword.

The sword Qi was directed at all five. After blocking the sword Qi in a fluster, the five people from the East Sun Sect looked at Xiaowu again with fear in their eyes.

The leader of the group had the highest cultivation at the beginning stage of the Origin Building Realm. He quickly regained his composure and sneered, "A sword, sword intent, and sword Qi. All that's missing is the natal flying sword. Each is better than the last, what an outstanding sword cultivator."

Xiaowu's expression remained serious. He did not say anything. Instead, he focused on accumulating his power, then he slashed horizontally.

The sword light spread out in the air like a sparkling water surface.

The expressions of the five people from the East Sun Sect changed drastically. This was another attack that was directed at all five of them.

Just as they were about to dodge, they found that they had been nailed to the ground by a wave of sword intent. The green sword had unknowingly been hanging three feet above the head of the person in the lead.

The young sword cultivator was expressionless. Xiaowu reached out and made a gesture as if he was grabbing the hilt of the sword, controlling his sword from a distance.

Between the two of them, a small and cute mountain range appeared in the air.

The young sword cultivator had only attacked twice, one a vertical slash and the other horizontal. It was just two strikes, yet one cut off the path of the five people to dodge, while the other was aimed at the strongest person's vital point.

However, there was not much sword intent left after the two strikes, so Xiaowu did not continue to attack relentlessly.

On the ground around both parties, a long crack appeared in front of everyone's eyes. This scene completely shocked the five disciples from the East Sun Sect who had come to provoke.

The outer sect disciples in the mine behind them were moved. No wonder it was said that of the cultivators in the world, the sword cultivators had the most unrestrained temperament, the greatest killing power, and were the most unreasonable.

It was a pity that their cultivation aptitude was average, and they were not suited for the path of a sword cultivator.

Although there were some regrets, a disciple with a firm heart soon said confidently, "Wouldn't it only make it better if we can rely on the Heavenly Technique to defeat sword cultivators with such godly sword techniques in the future?"

However, this disciple knew very well that his senior brother in front of him would most likely not give them a chance to surpass him.

If it was said that the pure martial artists other than the Qi cultivators had always been considered lowly in comparison with the Qi cultivators, then the sword cultivators among the Qi cultivators had always been more respected than the ordinary Qi cultivators.

The reason was simple. No one was willing to fight with a high-achieving sword cultivator who had extremely high lethality.

The emerald green flying sword circled around the five people, and when it found an opportunity, it stabbed. In less than ten minutes, a few weak pleas came from the battlefield filled with sword Qi. "Please... Spare us!"

Hearing the pleas, Xiaowu did not continue to attack. He controlled his sword to stop attacking.

The sword Qi gradually calmed down. Among the five disciples of the East Sun Sect, except for the leader who was in the beginning stage of the Origin Building Realm, the others were all in the advanced stage of the Condensing Reality Realm like Xiaowu.

After being locked on by his sword intent, the five of them could not escape at all. They could only defend with all their might. Even so, they were now covered in wounds. Streaks of blood stained the robes on their bodies red, and they looked extremely miserable.

When the people of the East Sun Sect sensed that the flying sword that had been continuously cutting their flesh from just now had finally stopped, they couldn't help but reveal a relaxed expression as if they had survived a disaster.

The leader five-men group of the East Sun Sect, to whom Xiaowu had given special treatment, was the one with the heaviest injuries. Two of his junior brothers supported him, each on one side. He looked at Xiaowu, who had put away his sword, with a face full of fear.

They didn't expect that the person who had been wounded so easily last time would improve so quickly in such a short period!

Moreover, he had become a sword cultivator, a sword cultivator who had comprehended the complete sword intent!

"Get lost. Don't ever have any thoughts about the Green Sky Sect again. Otherwise, you won't be able to return to the East Sun Sect alive next time," Xiaowu put away his sword and said coldly to the people in front of him.

"Besides, the spirit stone mine of Tianlu Mountain belongs to the Green Sky Sect. The East Sun Sect has no right over it whatsoever! Get lost!"

Hearing the last sentence, the people of the East Sun Sect felt as if they had been pardoned. They didn't dare to retort as they supported each other and turned around to run away.

Seeing the five people running away, Xiaowu let out a sigh of relief. His hand that was holding his sword was trembling slightly.

At the foot of the East Sun Sect's mountain, there were five miserable-looking disciples. They were the ones who had just returned from the Green Sky Sect.

After climbing up the mountain, they went straight to the grand elder of the East Sun Sect and told him what they had experienced in the Green Sky Sect.

After hearing the stories of these disciples, the grand elder flew into a rage.

However, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. The Green Sky Sect had been suppressed by the East Sun Sect for many years and was in a dire state now. How could they still nurture such a powerful sword cultivator disciple? On top of that, no news of the disciple had spread yet.

The Green Sky Sect had been in the last ranks of all the sects in Longyan County for hundreds of years, and no talented disciple would choose to join them. Where did this sword cultivator disciple come from?

The East Sun Sect knew all about the powerful disciples of the Green Sky Sect, and they had never heard of the sword cultivator mentioned by the five disciples.

Immediately after, the grand elder seemed to have had an idea. Since the Green Sky Sect dared to severely injure the disciples of the East Sun Sect, wasn't this the best opportunity to attack that kid?

No matter where that sword cultivator was from, he was just one person, so there was nothing to be afraid of!

Thinking of this, the great elder felt that this was the best opportunity for the East Sun Sect to attack the Green Sky Sect.
