Chapter 10: Fame · Rising Star

A surge of inexplicable power suddenly erupted from his dantian. Xu Yiyang stood up unsteadily, his slender quick sword that could cut through water now required all his focus to hold.

However, now, the previously unremarkable Xu Yiyang has suddenly risen to prominence, achieving a stalemate with Zhao Buqun on the Life and Death Platform, with both parties ending up severely injured...! ... The most terrifying part is that this Xu Yiyang is said to be unable to even nurture his own sword! How could such a remarkable event not spread?

The scene was enveloped in a deathly silence

Dozens of inner disciples rushed onto the arena. They scrambled and fumbled, pulling out various potions without regard for their value, and smeared them onto Zhao Buqun's grotesque and terrifying wounds. The potions that had cost them a significant amount of points were now almost treated like lime and cement, instantly slathered on in a thick layer.

It can only be an exception

People held their breath; at this point, who will emerge victorious

"If you die, I will kill them all to avenge you." Looking at Xu Yiyang, whose eyes remained tightly closed, Ye Xueer exerted strength with both hands and lifted him up, turning towards her residence. However, her low murmurs contained immense determination

Zhao Buqun walked forward step by step, feeling as if the entire world was becoming dim... He knew that this was a precursor to his imminent fainting. However, before he could slay Xu Yiyang, he absolutely could not faint!

A distance of several zhang now feels like an insurmountable chasm to them

Inside Xu Yiyang, it could be said to be a complete mess! The meridians are severed, the organs are damaged, and the bones are shattered. However, there is a faint and marvelous sword energy slowly circulating, and wherever it goes, those injuries begin to gradually improve

Determined, once a decision is made, it shall not waver; persistent, even with such injuries, still unwilling to give up the goal

The most detestable thing is that my own daughter, Yuan Guanteng, also echoed: "Yes, yes, Xue'er, if only Yi Yang Ge... we would kill them all!"

Water cut off, shining

I can too! A few words sprang from the depths of my soul, as Xu Yiyang struggled to lift his arm

Because this person, who is labeled as trash and accused by Zhao Buqun of being unqualified to enter the sect, actually fought to a standstill with Zhao Buqun on the Life and Death Platform! This is truly a slap in the face.

No! Xu Yiyang's eyes were about to burst with rage as he shouted frantically, "Heaven suppresses me, then I shall shatter this heaven! Earth confines me, then I shall shatter this earth! Now, even my own body is to obstruct me? Rise!"

What Xu Yiyang demonstrated also made everyone understand that the person with inferior qualifications is definitely not useless

Bone-Cutting Sword, rise!

Thus, one battle made him famous throughout the world

However, those who are stable in the Sword Mansion and the *Diagram* Book are unable to cultivate this technique. ... Nevertheless ... . ... Yuan Guanyi began to ponder silently; if Xu Yiyang could offer this technique, the sect could plan to recruit some disciples with lower qualifications.

It was at this moment that Yuan Guanyi was truly astonished by the transmission of sword energy

Xu Yiyang ... ? ... actually fought to a draw with Zhao Buqun. ? This news immediately swept through the entire Sacred Sword Sect like a hurricane! In the Sacred Sword Sect, no one is unaware of the inner sect's senior brother Zhao Buqun, and from now on, no one will be unaware of the inner sect disciple Xu Yiyang

After a moment, two figures soared into the sky, shooting straight up into the clouds, with brilliant sword light beneath their feet

As soon as Huatie Yi's voice fell, the scene returned to a state of commotion

Although he harbored an intense dislike for Zhao Buqun, he could not help but admire him; he truly was a tough man

She was in tears, yet her expression remained resolute

Yuan Guanyi could sense that Xu Yiyang's condition was not as dire as it appeared on the surface. Such a severe injury, if inflicted on any sword cultivator, would typically lead to imminent death; how could there still be a feeling of vitality?

Just...! Forget it! Yuan Guanyi shook his head; disciples with inferior talents are not any easier to recruit than those with perfect talents

Heavens, what kind of legacy has this young man inherited?

Bathed in blood, Xu Yiyang felt an intense pain within his body as if it were being scorched by fire. However, the fierce spirit within his dantian was silently howling in madness

Yuan Guanyi's expression changed instantly. If Xu Yiyang really died, Ye Xueer might indeed do that. At that time...

Xu Yiyang struggled to lift his head and beheld a scene that was truly shocking

Yuan Guanyi pondered for a moment, suddenly realizing that even without anyone providing him with the precious medicine, Xu Yiyang would still recover.

They finally understood why Zhao Buqun could become the foremost figure in the inner sect. It was not because of his cultivation, but rather the spirit he displayed at this moment

Then ... . ... the two swords clashed, yet there was not a sound. The two fragile figures fell down once more

However, it feels as if the body no longer belongs to oneself

Is it possible that Zhao Buqun, having sustained such injuries, is still alive

One is the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Hua Tieyi! ... And the other one ... is actually the Sect Master, Yuan Guanyi!

"There must be a way to save him, there must still be hope!" Ye Xue'er, with her pale little face, frantically poured the precious healing powder into Xu Yiyang's mouth, murmuring repeatedly.

Two frail figures are inching closer to each other

Yuan Guanyi, lost in thought, walked over to Xu Yiyang's side. Upon a glance, it was a shocking sight. Half of Xu Yiyang's shoulder had been severed, and one could almost see the writhing organs within his chest cavity. Except for his right hand, the rest of his body was contorted in an abnormal manner, clearly indicating that the bones had been fractured.

It is not that no one pays attention.

The broken body struggled in the pool of blood like a worm... Watching Xu Yiyang, who refused to bow down, suddenly all the inner disciples began to question themselves: Did I... really do the right thing?

This large one and small one are indeed quite worrisome

The sword box has also appeared, and he sighed: "You little rascal... you really don't care about your life! Fine, I will lend you some vitality for now... Just remember to return it!"

This message ... will quickly spread to the outer gates, even reaching the world. Regardless, Xu Yiyang has already become the rising star of the Sacred Sword Sect! Zhao Buqun's reputation is built upon countless battles and fierce confrontations!

Xu Yiyang's eyes were bloodshot. His body had broken countless bones, and his left shoulder was nearly severed entirely. He dragged his heavy body forward, with his shoulder exposed, revealing flesh and bone, moving slowly.

The entire sect fell silent once again

Unfortunately, the ancient powerful techniques can only be practiced by those with inferior qualifications

Inferior means that the Sword Mansion is somewhat present yet somewhat absent, and after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth enters it and transforms into sword energy, a significant portion will automatically dissipate. That ancient powerful being utilized this characteristic to create techniques that astonish the heavens and make the ghosts weep

The Bone-Cutting Sword has begun to show signs of instability, emitting a low hum. This is a sign that the weapon is about to return to the Sword Manor

Yuan Guanyi felt a stir in his heart and reached out to touch Xu Yiyang's forehead. A wave of warm and expansive sword energy immediately entered Xu Yiyang's body

Xu Yiyang heard the excited shouts of the people, followed by a profound silence, and then came the heavy, dragging sound of footsteps

A small figure, yet holding a comatose and severely injured young man, that scene appeared indescribably incongruous, inexplicably strange, yet also indescribably sorrowful and tragically heroic

When he first entered the sect, he began to struggle against those young scions, and later, he ventured out to hone his skills. In short, to others, Zhao Buqun is like the protagonist of an extraordinary novel

As for Xu Yiyang ... they merely cast him a series of complex glances, yet were unwilling to pay him any heed

Who ultimately wins and who loses

No one knows

The scorching sun shines upon everything, yet anyone who sees Ye Xue'er feels a chilling sensation enveloping their entire body

Both sides suffered losses! After a brief observation, Hua Tieyi made an assessment, stating, "This battle ended in a draw, and both parties shall return to their respective places to recuperate. Henceforth, neither side shall engage in further entanglements regarding this matter."

Yuan Guanyi was still deep in thought when a petite figure suddenly rushed up to the high platform. She rudely knocked over the inner disciples, causing chaos, her voice already tinged with tears: "Yi Yang, how are you? You must not die..."
