Chapter 850 - 847: Gap in Realms

At this moment, the Sword Ancestor spoke: "Begin the second promotion!"

"Alright!"

The Sword Immortal immediately mobilized, and then directly initiated the second round. This second round was crucial because what was left from the last time would now unfold in this round.

Undoubtedly, this time was also a very ceremonious occasion, a critical moment of success or failure.

However, what frustrated Ye Fan was that he was still the first to take the stage. He knew that with his luck, if he were still on Earth, he could definitely win the lottery.

That would definitely be to win the grand prize!

However, this time, his opponent was not simple because his opponent was none other than Lu Nianzong, the foremost talented disciple of the Heavenly Void Sword Sect.

He was also a formidable contender in this competition.

The Heavenly Void Sword Ancestor smirked coldly because he had bribed the Sword Master to manipulate the draw, and indeed, his manipulation was effective.

At this point, the Sword Saint said: "Something is not right!"

"Exactly! It seems they’ve already tampered with things at the Sword God Temple."

The Sword Immortal also spoke.

Only the Sword Emperor said coldly: "This is the consequence of not deterring them!"

"Daring to tamper inside my Sword God Temple is truly asking for death!"

The Sword Emperor was very angry at that moment.

The Sword Ancestor said: "Before they act, find that tampering Sword Master first, and then kill him to warn them!"

"Alright!"

The Sword Immortal came forth immediately, but everyone was puzzled as to why he called for a stop since the confrontation was about to begin.

The Sword Immortal spoke coldly: "Who is responsible for this?"

Immediately, a Sword Master stepped forward respectfully and said: "Reporting to the Sword Master, I am responsible!"

Ye Fan saw this and thought, isn’t this the Sword Master who clashed with the Infinite Sword Ancestor the other day?

Indeed, there was an issue; this guy was truly extremely greedy!

He dared to be greedy right in front of the four Sword Dao Experts.

The Infinite Sword Ancestor, Zhou Zhimei, and Xu Zun were all angry because based on a normal draw, the probability of Ye Fan drawing Lu Nianzong was very small.

Yet Ji Hai Sword Ancestor laughed and said: "Hahaha, you Infinite Sword Sect are just like that. Facing Lu Nianzong, you cannot hold your position."

He laughed arrogantly, finally having someone vent their anger.

However, at this moment, the Heavenly Void Sword Ancestor’s face was not good because he had bribed this Sword Master to tamper, which meant that they might have already discovered the trick.

At this point, the Sword Immortal said: "Do you confess to your guilt?"

He directly targeted this Sword Master with his gaze.

Only to see the Sword Master nervously saying: "Sword Master, what guilt have I committed?"

"What guilt have you committed?" Do you dare say you did not tamper with things?

The Sword Immortal immediately scolded.

"Sword Master, I am wronged!"

The Sword Master quickly pleaded innocence.

But the Sword Immortal said: "As a Sword Master, you work in the Sword God Temple, which upholds the principles of fairness and justice, but you have violated the sacred meaning of the Sword God Temple!"

"Sword Master, please judge rightly; I truly did not tamper!"

The Sword Master continued to argue.

At this point, the Sword Immortal said coldly: "We’ve been watching you for days. I know your character best. You’ve committed a capital offense, so how will you handle it? Shall I do it for you?"

The Sword Master knew his words were useless. He considered his greed, which he thought wouldn’t affect major things, but now realized the Sword Immortal would not let him off.

"Then I have no choice!"

He immediately deployed his Flying Sword, attempting to sever the Sword Immortal’s head from afar.

However, before his Flying Sword was unleashed, his head had already fallen to the ground.

"Such swift Swordsmanship!"

Ye Fan was shocked; it was his first time seeing the Sword Immortal act—no, he didn’t see it because it was just in that instant.

The Sword Immortal remained motionless.

Yet the Sword Master’s head was severed.

This speed surpassed Ye Fan’s expectations, and those of the thirty-six sects were also frightened; the Sword Immortal was ever mysterious and unpredictable when acting.

His power was such that even the Heavenly Void Sword Master, Nine Heavens Sword Master, and Spirit Peak Sword Master dared not confront him.

The Heavenly Void Sword Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief knowing that when the Sword Immortal severed the Sword Master’s head, it meant he didn’t plan to pursue the matter with him.

Yet, it served as a warning. Indeed, bribing someone from the Sword God Temple should not be easy; he dared not try bribery again now.

At this point, the Sword Immortal said coldly: "I don’t care who bribed him, but if there’s a next time, don’t blame my Sword God Temple for being ruthlessly unemotional! Before us, refrain from such cheap tricks; it’s very foolish!"

"Don’t you agree, Heavenly Void Sword Ancestor?"

The Sword Immortal spoke to him with a smile.

Only to see the Heavenly Void Sword Ancestor hurriedly saying: "Yes, yes, yes! Doing such a disgraceful concealing deed indeed deserves death!"

He was taken aback as he knew the Sword Immortal realized he was behind it.

The headless Sword Master was carried away by other Sword Masters.

But the confrontation between Ye Fan and Lu Nianzong still had to continue.

Upon seeing Ye Fan’s power was only Grade Two Ancestor Realm while Lu Nianzong was Grade Three Ancestor Realm, it was obvious, Ye Fan was bound to lose.

Because the levels cannot be crossed, and moreover, Lu Nianzong was a genius among geniuses. Crossing this gap was impossible.

Ye Fan would surely be defeated sooner or later; maybe he could sustain five moves, but within ten moves he would certainly lose.

Though this confrontation promised more excitement because the feud between the Infinite Sword Sect and the Heavenly Void Sword Sect had persisted for hundreds of thousands of years, it was undoubtedly a heavyweight match.

Back then, due to a divergence, the Sect Master of the Infinite Sword Sect branched out from the Heavenly Void Sword Sect to establish his own sect. This confrontation would determine whether the Infinite Sword Sect was right or the Heavenly Void Sword Sect’s doctrine was correct.

Because in previous Sword Dao gatherings, disciples of the Infinite Sword Sect rarely had the chance to face off against disciples of the Heavenly Void Sword Sect, this was a first.

At this moment, Zhou Zhimei angrily said: "This is simply a staged act; no, I must speak to Senior Sword Immortal!"

She was about to rise but was held back by the Infinite Sword Ancestor.

Seeing the Infinite Sword Ancestor said: "You and I both know the King of Heaven is a fearless genius, so let him fight this time!"

"But Master Uncle, this is not a confrontation of equal realms!"

Zhou Zhimei said angrily.

Xu Zun also spoke: "This is completely unfair to Brother Heavenly King!"

"Fairness? There’s no such thing as fairness in this world. If he wins, it proves he’s deserving of expectations!"

"If he doesn’t win, it’s no big deal because I know, within the same realm, no one is his match!"

The Infinite Sword Ancestor spoke up.

With those words, the two quieted down.

"I would very much like to replace him and face that grotesque, shameless chap!"

Yang Jiuxiao said coldly.

Only to see Hua Canglan saying: "Save it! That’s impossible. You better watch how Lu Nianzong strikes and defeat him later!"

"But can the King of Heaven force Lu Nianzong to show his true strength?"

Qing Yi expressed doubt.

Only to see Hua Canglan saying: "I reckon it’s very unlikely because this fellow is one grade higher than the King of Heaven. Unless the King of Heaven has defiance methods, otherwise it’s wholly impossible!"

Everyone nodded, acknowledging Hua Canglan’s words because Ye Fan was one level under, and although geniuses might cross realms, it’s easily forgotten that Lu Nianzong, in the essence of crossing, was also an absolute genius.

So, in their view, if Ye Fan can manage ten moves, it’s already quite defying expectations, let alone forcing Lu Nianzong to exert true strength.
