No Need!

In the Bingbing Valley.

Su Zhan stood in a central position, slightly closing his eyes as if sensing something.

After a while, he opened his eyes, revealing a faint smile on his face.

"The flowing fire, starlight..."

He murmured softly, and dim starlight flew out from the purple palace between his eyebrows!

It landed in his hand, transforming into an elegant holy sword.

The Great Sun Star Sword!

With a single slash, traces of starlight appeared in the space ahead.

After a brief pause, these sword traces suddenly burst open!

"Boom!"

A terrifying power spread outward!

"Not enough."

Seeing this, Su Zhan shook his head, infused his true qi into the sword, and slashed again.

The sword moved as fast as thunder, with flashes of starlight. On the stone wall a hundred meters away, a trench several dozen meters long appeared.

The trench extended deep into the mountain, and after a few seconds, that part of the mountain rumbled and collapsed!

Su Zhan showed a pensive expression and began practicing sword techniques in Bingbing Valley. The technique resembled the Flowing Flame Sword Technique, but it was fundamentally different in essence.

One after another, traces of starlight sword marks appeared, and sword qi was unleashed.

If it weren't for the protection of the large formation's light barrier in Bingbing Valley, under Su Zhan's attacks like this, the place would have turned into ruins long ago!

Half an hour later.

Su Zhan took a deep breath. As he raised the Great Sun Star Sword, a terrifying sword qi intertwined with fire and starlight was unleashed!

"Boom!"

The sword directly collided with the barrier formed by the large formation's light barrier in Bingbing Valley.

Instantly, the place became brightly lit, and the area affected by the sword qi even seemed momentarily empty!

"This should be the right condition!"

"This sword technique is as fast as starlight and combines the explosive power of the Flowing Flame Sword Technique. Its strength may be ten times greater than the Flowing Flame Sword Technique!"

Su Zhan murmured to himself, unable to contain his excitement.

Not only because of the immense power of this sword technique but also because it was the first sword technique he created!

"What should I name this new sword technique?"

Su Zhan pondered.

The Flowing Fire Sword Technique and the power of the stars... Meteor Sword Technique?

It sounds somewhat ordinary.

Mars Flame Sword Technique?

Celestial Flowing Sword Technique?

They all seemed less cool. When others asked about it, it seemed somewhat less dominating!

Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique?

Su Zhan's eyes gleamed, giving the new sword technique a good name in his mind.

Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique!

In terms of grade... this technique might be at least a high-grade Earth-level technique, right?

Even the sword technique practiced by the Sect Master, the Tianyun Sword Technique, was only a middle-grade Earth-level technique. In other words, the power of this sword technique has surpassed any sword technique in the Yuntian Sword Sect!

Moreover, the Starfire Flowing Sword Technique currently only had its initial form. This sword technique is based on the power of stars and fire, and its potential for development in the future is still immense!

In the future, when there is an opportunity, it is very possible to create its second form, its third form!

At that time, the power of this sword technique... is unimaginable!

Just as Su Zhan was preparing to continue practicing the Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique, a crashing sound suddenly came from the entrance of Bingbing Valley.

Bingbing Valley was a forbidden area of the sect. Moreover, with two deacons at the late stage of the Barrier Master realm guarding it, who would dare to forcefully break in?

Su Zhan furrowed his brows and curiously walked towards the entrance of the valley.

At the entrance of Bingbing Valley.

Qi Yang brushed off the hand of an attendant who tried to stop him and angrily exclaimed, "I am Qi Yang, the first disciple of the true disciple! How dare you, mere deacons, try to stop me?!"

"Apologies, but the Sect Master personally instructed that no one should disturb Su Zhan until he comes out!"

A deacon shook his head.

"Outrageous! Don't you know the importance of being the first disciple of the true disciple?"

Qi Yang sneered, "If I become the Sect Master of the Yuntian Sword Sect one day, do you think you will still be alive?"

"I..."

Fear appeared in the eyes of both deacons.

"Step aside!"

Qi Yang coldly spat out a word, and the powerful true qi aura of a Barrier Master realm cultivator erupted!

The two deacons immediately stepped back a few steps.

Although both of them were at the late stage of the Barrier Master realm, Qi Yang was the first disciple of the true disciple. He even had an undefeated battle record against experts at the early stage of the Core Yuan realm. He was not someone who could be compared to mere deacons.

If they were to truly fight, even if they both joined forces, they would still be no match for Qi Yang!

If it weren't for the fact that they were deacons directly assigned by Qin Jincheng, Qi Yang would have already sent them flying. There was no need for meaningless words!

"Qi Yang, if you came to find me, why bother troubling others?"

At that moment, Su Zhan appeared at the entrance of Bingbing Valley, his gaze fixed on Qi Yang, speaking calmly.

"Junior Brother Su, I heard that you have condensed your natal weapon. So I specifically came to congratulate you!" Qi Yang also looked at Su Zhan, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Congratulate me? Why are you congratulating me?"

Su Zhan also smiled, "You came empty-handed. Are you planning to kneel down and congratulate me?"

"Junior Brother Su! Aren't you being too rude with your words?"

"Don't pretend. Say what you want to say, or just leave!"

Su Zhan didn't have a favorable impression of Qi Yang. He didn't even want to bother with him and spoke directly.

The smile on Qi Yang's face disappeared, "In that case, I won't waste any more words! Do you remember our challenge agreement?"

"I remember," Su Zhan nodded.

"Good, now that you have reached the Barrier Master realm, it's time to fulfill your promise!"

"Fine, when and where?"

Seeing Su Zhan being so straightforward, Qi Yang was somewhat surprised, but then he sneered, "It seems Junior Brother Su is quite confident. In that case, let's fight tomorrow morning at the main peak plaza of the Yuntian Sword Sect. What do you think?"

"Okay," Su Zhan calmly replied, "Is there anything else? If not, you can leave."

"Su Zhan, keep being arrogant and cherish the remaining time you have! Tomorrow, I will defeat you in front of everyone in the Yuntian Sword Sect!"

With a grim face, Qi Yang clenched his fists and left.

Shortly after, Su Zhan also left Bingbing Valley.

After cultivating for so long, it was time for him to return to Baiyun Peak, take a bath, enjoy a good meal, and sleep.

The next day.

Nearly 90% of the inner disciples of the Yuntian Sword Sect gathered around the main peak plaza.

In less than a day, Qi Yang had used a lot of effort to spread the news of the upcoming decisive battle with Su Zhan throughout the sect.

His goal was simple, to defeat Su Zhan in front of everyone, to regain the admiration and awe from junior brothers and sisters who questioned his status as the number one genius of the Yuntian Sword Sect due to Su Zhan's appearance!

Qi Yang not only enjoyed this feeling but also needed to leave a deep impression among this generation of disciples if he wanted to succeed as the future sect master.

Defeating Su Zhan, who was currently in the spotlight, at the main peak plaza in front of everyone was undoubtedly the best choice.

Soon, Qi Yang and Su Zhan arrived at the plaza.

"Junior Brother Su, I will ask the elder to seal my cultivation to the early stage of the Barrier Master realm. You don't need to worry," Qi Yang's voice echoed in the plaza. After speaking, he walked towards the observing elder.

"Senior Brother Qi Yang truly deserves to be Senior Brother Qi Yang! Very straightforward and respectable!"

"With Senior Brother Qi Yang's strength, even if his cultivation is sealed, Su Zhan shouldn't be his match, right?"

"Senior Brother Qi Yang is very handsome!"

...

Hearing those flattering words, Qi Yang felt pleased.

In fact, he never intended to suppress his cultivation to defeat Su Zhan.

He wasn't foolish. With Su Zhan being extremely abnormal, it would be strange if he could defeat him with his suppressed cultivation!

The reason he said that was because he had consumed a very special pill beforehand.

After the elder sealed his cultivation, he just needed to unleash the pill with his true qi, and he would be able to elevate his strength to the level equivalent to the early stage of the Core Yuan realm!

At that time, he would strike and kill Su Zhan with a single blow, then put on an innocent face and blame the elder for making a mistake in sealing his cultivation, causing him to accidentally kill Su Zhan!

Once Su Zhan died, even if the sect master doubted him, it would be useless.

Because at that time, he, Qi Yang, would be the only hope of the Yuntian Sword Sect!

Thinking about all of this, Qi Yang admired his own plan and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"No need. Use all your strength and all your trump cards to fight against me."

Suddenly, Su Zhan's voice was heard, and the smile on Qi Yang's face froze.
