Chapter 148: To Defeat You, I Need Only One Sword

"You are the current head of the Spirit Sword Sect?"

The old man in the green robe hovered in mid-air and asked slowly.

"Yes, Ancestor. This disciple is Mu Chen, the ninth sect master of the Spirit Sword Sect," Mu Chen replied respectfully.

Wonderful!

Now that the Ancestor is here, I am saved.

Kid, weren't you being arrogant earlier?

Go on, act arrogant for me again!

"When I founded the Spirit Sword Sect back then, it was such a magnificent and awe-inspiring presence. How did it become so decadent and fallen by the time it reached your generation?"

"Ancestor, I..."

"Enough, I don't want to hear those nonsense words and excuses."

The green-robed old man interrupted him, then turned his gaze to Su Yifan and said, "Young man, you have killed so many people from my Spirit Sword Sect today. I will give you a chance: end your own life. As for your family, I guarantee I will not harm them."

"Ancestor, you absolutely cannot do that!"

Mu Chen blurted out anxiously.

Su Yifan had not only killed his daughter and his beloved disciple, but now he had also wiped out numerous backbone members of the Spirit Sword Sect.

How could they just be let off like this?

"Shut your mouth! If so many people are no match for someone else, you can only blame your own incompetence."

The green-robed old man continued addressing Su Yifan, "Young man, have you made up your mind?"

"I have."

Su Yifan nodded slightly.

Hearing this response,

Su Zhenguo and the others instantly panicked.

"Yifan, you mustn't do anything foolish!"

Zhang Hong's eyes reddened instantly with anxiety, and she took a step forward as if to run over.

Su Yifan raised a hand to stop her and smiled, "Mom, don't worry. I didn't say I was going to commit suicide."

At these words, Zhang Hong and the others froze.

What did that mean?

The green-robed old man was also completely bewildered at this moment. He asked in a deep voice, "Young man, what is the meaning of this?"

"My meaning is that if you want me to end my own life, just this mere wisp of soul of yours isn't qualified enough. Oh wait, even if you were at your peak condition, you still wouldn't be," Su Yifan said calmly.

Trying to act tough in front of me with just a wisp of a remnant soul—where on earth did you get your confidence?

Hearing this,

Mu Chen was thrilled to the core.

Yes, exactly like this.

Keep angering the Ancestor, and that way, all of you are bound to die.

"Young man, do you even know what you are saying?"

"It is you who don't know what you are saying."

"Very well. I have already given you a chance. Since you are so unrepentant, don't blame me."

As the words fell,

the green-robed old man reached out a hand.

The next moment,

"Hum!"

A sword chime rang out.

At that instant, Moyuan, the spirit weapon in Mu Chen's hand, suddenly trembled violently.

The next second,

"Swish!"

Moyuan broke free from Mu Chen's hand and instantly flew into the grip of the green-robed old man.

Seeing this scene,

Mu Chen's eyes held both excitement and thrill.

He was thrilled because the Ancestor was finally going to make a move and kill Su Yifan and the others.

As for his excitement,

it was because he could witness the majestic demeanor of the founding ancestor of their Spirit Sword Sect.

According to the sect's secret records, this founding ancestor of theirs had once been a powerful Martial God.

What kind of existence was that?

Even if only a wisp of his soul remained now, his strength was still not to be underestimated.

Su Yifan, oh Su Yifan.

You truly have a death wish!

"Young man, I will give you one last chance. End your life now, and my previous words still stand."

The green-robed old man pointed his sword at Su Yifan, his tone exceptionally arrogant.

"If you're going to fight, hurry up and do it,"

Su Yifan said in an annoyed tone.

For a sect ancestor, why was he acting so indecisive and nagging?

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to scratch his itch for a fight,

I would have slapped you to death by now!

"Fine, you asked for this."

Seeing that the other party completely disregarded him, the green-robed old man's gaze shifted slightly.

"Mu Chen, watch closely. This is how Moyuan is used."

Just as his voice faded,

"Swish!"

He slashed out with a single sword stroke!

The next second,

a black sword Qi dozens of meters long suddenly materialized and slashed toward Su Yifan.

"As expected of the Ancestor! A casual strike from him is countless times stronger than the sword Qi I unleashed just now!"

Mu Chen watched this sword attack, his eyes filled with fanatical fervor.

Is this the power of the Ancestor?

This is simply too strong!

He felt that even if a Martial Saint expert faced this sword strike, they would instantly perish.

Su Yifan, aren't you quite the badass?

Let's see how you block this sword strike!

"This sword strike actually has a bit of strength, but that's all."

Su Yifan smiled slightly.

Watching the powerful sword Qi about to reach him, he simply reached out a hand and grabbed the sword Qi right in his palm.

The next moment,

he squeezed his hand shut!

"Crack, bang!"

The black- Qi sword strike, which had carried such formidable momentum, vanished into thin air instantly.

"What?!"

Seeing his sword attack blocked just like that, a trace of shock flashed in the green-robed old man's eyes.

How could this be?

Even if a Martial Saint cultivation expert faced this sword strike of his, they would either die or be severely injured. Yet this young man caught it effortlessly.

Just what kind of strength does he possess?

Beside him, Mu Chen was left utterly dumbfounded, frozen like a statue.

He had already prepared himself to watch Su Yifan get sliced apart by that sword strike.

Yet now, not only was Su Yifan not dead, but he was standing right across from him with a relaxed expression.

How could this happen?

This was truly too hard for him to accept.

Ancestor, are you sure you aren't going easy on this kid?

"What is wrong with you, old man? Your bark was so loud earlier, I thought you were some kind of big shot. And this is all you've got?"

Su Yifan sighed, saying with a hint of disappointment.

He had thought he could have a hearty battle, but this level of strength wasn't even enough to warm him up.

"Good kid, I underestimated you. Very well, I will let you witness my ultimate sword strike."

With that, the green-robed old man circulated the true Qi within his body, and immediately, a majestic aura burst forth from him.

At this moment,

wisps of black Qi could be seen wrapping around the blade of Moyuan.

"Demonic Dragon Slash!"

The green-robed old man swung his sword.

The next second,

a giant black dragon condensed from sword Qi materialized across the void. The black dragon let out a deafening roar and charged ferociously toward Su Yifan.

Wherever it passed, the marble-paved floor was shattered into powder.

Witnessing this earth-shattering sword strike,

Mu Chen was immensely excited.

Su Zhenguo and the others all clenched their fists tightly.

They truly found it hard to believe that this was a move a human being could possibly execute.

At this moment,

Xie Wei desperately wanted to step forward and help, but she knew this was not a level she could participate in.

Su Yifan, you better not die.

"Oh? A bit interesting."

At this point, seeing this, a trace of appreciation flashed in the depths of Su Yifan's eyes.

Ever since he descended the mountain,

this should be the strongest single move he had ever seen a martial artist execute.

"Kid, accept your fate."

Just then,

the green-robed old man's voice rang out.

Su Yifan smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"Old man, look at how full of yourself you are. To defeat you, I only need one sword strike."

As Su Yifan spoke, he slowly raised his sword finger.

"Such arrogant boasting! You don't even have a sword, how can you defeat me with a sword strike?"

The green-robed old man sneered.

"It's not that I won't draw my sword, it's just that you... simply aren't worthy!"

As the words faded,

Su Yifan waved his sword finger.

"Swish!"

A flash of sword light swept across!

The next moment,

a faint golden light appeared on the body of that giant black dragon.

Following that...

With a loud "boom,"

the black-Qi giant dragon exploded into a ball of black mist and dissipated into the air.
