Chapter 186: Naturally… Shatter Them!

The entire venue was abuzz with discussions.

“Wait! I know it now!” Someone suddenly exclaimed excitedly, “Tai Xuan Sect! It’s actually Tai Xuan Sect!”

“My friend, could you elaborate?”

Everyone quickly turned their attention to the speaker, curiosity piqued.

After all, the strength exhibited by the Tai Xuan Sect disciples far exceeded what a first-grade sect should possess. They were entirely on par with a major teaching-level power!

“Nearly two hundred years ago, during the Southern Genius Battle, there emerged a group of extremely powerful geniuses! Especially their leader, a top-tier world-shaking prodigy!

“With just his fists, he nearly swept through the entire Genius Battle! No one was his match!

“You can understand it like this. All the current leaders of the major sects and ancient clans, such as the Lord of the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion, were defeated by that world-shaking prodigy!”

This statement instantly caused an uproar. Everyone’s eyes were wide with shock.

For one to be called a world-shaking prodigy, they must have been overwhelmingly powerful, able to defeat one top genius after another.

And some people began to remember!

“Indeed, there was such an event! I heard about it from my elders!”

“That group was called the Eighteen Sons of Tai Xuan! They hailed from this very Tai Xuan Sect! Back then, Tai Xuan Sect wasn’t even first-grade, it was only second-grade!”

As this was confirmed, the shock in everyone’s hearts grew even more intense.

What was going on with this sect? Despite not having a high rank, its disciples’ strength was so overwhelmingly strong, both in the past and now!

“But if they were so strong two hundred years ago, why are they still a first-grade sect now? And why haven’t we heard of this sect before?”

Someone raised a question.

“I’m not entirely sure, but it seems that they experienced a great upheaval afterward and went into decline, never participating in the Southern Genius Battle again until now,” the person explained.

“So, is this disciple now trying to retrace the path of two hundred years ago?!”

“Following in the footsteps of his predecessors, sweeping through the younger generation of the Southern Region!”

Thinking of this, many people became excited!

“You’re overthinking it. It’s not that easy. The participants this time are all the heirs of the major powers, beings of extreme strength! Defeating them is as difficult as climbing the sky!” someone refuted.

“But wasn’t it the same situation back then?” The person chuckled, speaking in a mysterious tone.

—

On the battlefield.

“So it’s you!” Hearing the surrounding discussions, Jie Yubing finally understood!

No wonder her master wanted her to be the one to step up! It was Tai Xuan Sect!

The very sect that once defeated her master!

When she was young, her master had mentioned it, and it seemed to have left a shadow in her master’s heart that was hard to erase.

“Master, this time, I will avenge you! I will defeat all the disciples of this sect! I will wash away the shame!” Jie Yubing’s expression turned icy cold.

Although this person’s cultivation level was slightly higher than hers, the gap wasn’t significant. The power of life and death that they carried wouldn’t be able to affect her body in the short term. So, she could definitely use her other martial arts foundations to defeat him!

With this thought, Jie Yubing stepped forward. Her two junior brothers hurried to follow.

Meng Changqing listened to the noisy chatter around him, raising an eyebrow slightly.

As expected, just as the Grand Elder predicted, their entry indeed drew everyone’s attention.

Especially the little girl quickly approaching with a vengeful look in her eyes — it seemed that his senior brothers and sisters had indeed left behind a deep-seated hatred back then.

“Interesting.” Meng Changqing naturally felt no pressure, even opening his Observation Eye to observe the girl’s status panel.

Basic Information:

【Name: Jie Yubing】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation: First Level of Life and Death Realm】

Attribute Information:

【Root Bone: First-grade】

【Comprehension: High】

【Talent: Ice Skin and Cold Bones】

【Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills: Ice and Snow Divine Prison Art (Perfection), Mystic Ice Spirit Shocking Blade (Perfection)】

“Ice Skin and Cold Bones, huh? This seems to be a talent only slightly inferior to the Innate Ice Physique.”

Meng Changqing’s eyes flickered slightly. With this talent, cultivating any ice-based techniques or martial skills would be like having divine assistance.

He remembered that Senior Brother Ku Fengchun had an Innate Ice Physique, though it had a (Residual) suffix.

Additionally, despite her slim figure, Jie Yubing was actually a blade wielder. Truth be told, he hadn’t faced many swordsmen so far.

In the Sect’s Martial Peak, there were blade practitioners, but they didn’t make it to the final three-sect tournament, so he never had a chance to experience the sharpness of their blade skills.

“Senior Brother Meng, how should we fight?” Shi Guang and Shi Yao grinned, their eyes filled with intense battle intent.

Their ancient bloodlines within seemed to start boiling, with stone-like armor gradually appearing on the surface of their skin, making their aura even more overwhelming.

“Naturally… shatter them!” Meng Changqing smiled slightly.

Boom!

As soon as he spoke, the ground behind him exploded, and the two brothers, like ancient mountains pushing forward, charged without a word!

“You!” Jie Yubing had just approached with her people, intending to say a few words before the battle as a declaration.

But unexpectedly, the other side had no patience and directly attacked!

Hmph!

Jie Yubing’s eyes turned cold.

Since that’s the case, let’s settle this with our skills!

Her figure blurred, transforming into endless cold air, instantly passing by the Shi brothers and heading straight for Meng Changqing.

As the saying goes, king to king, general to general.

She naturally wouldn’t bother dealing with the Shi brothers!

But this put her two junior brothers in a tough spot.

Although they were top-tier geniuses, how could they have ever fought against such monsters? Such enormous figures, like ancient fierce beasts, were terrifying just to look at!

“Take my axe!”

“Take my hammer!”

On the other side, Meng Changqing still stood in place, hands behind his back.

Before him, the cold tide rolled, and the ground was covered with spreading ice crystals.

Within the boundless cold air, a sharp blade light came slashing through.

“This strike shall cleanse the shame for my master!” Jie Yubing held a long blade, and above her head, the embryonic form of blade intent soared into the sky.

The powerful aura enveloped the entire battlefield!

“It’s blade intent!”

The crowd was visibly shaken.

Although martial arts true intent wasn’t uncommon in the Tianxuan Prefecture, it was indeed rare for someone of her age to possess it.

Only world-shaking prodigies could achieve such a feat!

And the power of martial arts true intent was something everyone was fascinated by!

“Let’s see how this person deals with it!”

The crowd became curious.

The cultivation levels of the two weren’t far apart, so it would all come down to martial arts foundation.

No one knew what kind of techniques this person practiced.
