Supreme Uprising

Chapter 1153 My Sword Can Break But It Will Never Bend 

Luo Yunyang looked at the disciple of the Dafankong Sect, who was barely a ninth-level Heavenly Venerate. “No wonder you are unable to attain the Yuan Venerate. Your temperament is just too weak!”

This disciple had already been very vexed about being stuck at the ninth-level Heavenly Venerate for quite a while. He had even previously sought help from various veterans within the Dafankong Sect, but they had all given him the same reply: His aptitude was insufficient.

He glared hatefully at Luo Yunyang now that his weakness had been exposed.

“Brat, you must have a death wish!”

Luo Yunyang glanced at the furious disciple from the Dafankong Sect. He had the urge to fight back but decided not to, even though he didn’t fear any of them. He just did not want to ruin his father’s impression of him at this point in time.

Meanwhile, he realized that a number of people were gathering to watch the spectacle.

Amongst them were disciples of the Dafankong Sect, as well as highly-skilled martialists from the Taixu Sect. It was obvious that this battle was extremely important to the two major sects.

“Is the Dafankong Sect challenging the Taixu Sect to a battle?” Luo Yunyang exclaimed loudly so that everyone present could hear him.

The leaders of the Dafankong Sect obviously were aware of Luo Yunyang’s status. They also knew that various highly-skilled martialists of the Taixu Sect were watching.

If they were to really engage in a fight against Luo Yunyang, they might eventually end up creating more trouble for their master instead. That was why he stopped his junior brother and said, “Enough, Ninth Junior Brother. Let us stop causing trouble here.”

Then, he turned to Luo Yunyang and said, “The Dafankong Sect and the Taixu Sect are siblings. Disciple Luo, you are definitely looking at the wrong place if you are trying to use dirty little tricks to rescue your father! Fancy you resorting to such tricks when you have no actual fighting power. You are simply disgracing your father and the Taixu Sect!”

The Dafankong Sect disciple’s words were particularly resounding.

He knew that his master currently had the upper hand. In a situation like this, there was nothing to worry about.

While Luo Yunyang confronted the disciples of the Dafankong Sect, a few highly-skilled Taixu Sect martialists gathered 100,000 miles away.

Amongst them was Mountain Lord Fuyuan, who was peeved at Luo Yunyang.

However, Mountain Lord Fuyuan was not the strongest individual amongst them. Just like the other Taishi Yuan Venerates, he gathered around a wise-looking, middle-aged man.

While this man had a mild nature, Mountain Lord Fuyuan did not act presumptuously before him.

He had seen the might of that man in actual battle. When he went wild, even a Taishi Yuan Venerate could be destroyed by him with a single blow.

“Humph! Luo Yunyang is indeed a disgrace to the Taixu Sect. I think that now is the time for us to kick him out,” Mountain Lord Fuyuan said, making full use of this opportunity to get back at Luo Yunyang.

Everyone knew about Mountain Lord Fuyuan’s defeat outside the Vast Sky Sacred Hall. Hence, they were all snickering inwardly.

Although some of them looked at Mountain Lord Fuyuan with disdain, they too had nothing against him and did not want to cause trouble.

They weren’t keen on helping Luo Yunyang either. In their eyes, without the support of Luo Jiutian, Luo Yunyang would be insignificant.

It was simply foolish of them to offend Mountain Lord Fuyuan over the likes of someone so small and insignificant.

The middle-aged man glanced at Mountain Lord Fuyuan blankly. However, his gaze still sent shivers down Mountain Lord Fuyuan’s spine.

The gulf between the two of them already made him feel pressured in a way.

“Are those people trying to imply that the members of the Taixu Sect conduct their affairs with underhanded methods?” the middle-aged man asked. These words instantly disappointed Mountain Lord Fuyuan.

However, he then said, “While the Taixu Sect should defend Luo Yunyang, he shouldn’t be allowed to keep the status he is enjoying right now.”

“Senior Brother Jinta is absolutely correct!” Mountain Lord Fuyuan replied. He felt that Senior Brother Jinta’s method of handling this issue was much better than his own.

“Luo Jintian is indeed outright courageous for trying to use the endless coagulating flames to hone his laws in an attempt to break through his sky laws and improve further.” Senior Brother Jinta chuckled.

“However, what he doesn’t realize is that the Dafankong Sect is coming for him with the intent to kill him.”

“Senior Brother Jinta, I am quite sure that Luo Jiutian can also understand what we have analyzed,” said a man with a cold expression.

“However, it seems that he has no other path to take right now!”

“Luo Jiutian is proud and aloof. Although the sword path he’s created is very accomplished, it has also caused him to lose a lot of the help and friends he was supposed to have instead,” he said solemnly.

“If he had not been abandoned by the elder of the Luo Family, the Dafankong Sect would not have gotten to him so easily.”

“Luo Jiutian definitely understands this, which is why he decided to borrow the powers of the coagulated flames. However, he does not realize that even if he were to break through the sky laws, he would lose his life and all his efforts would be in vain.”

The eyes of the Taixu Sect martialists lit up, especially Mountain Lord Fuyuan’s.

There were also gaps in the standard of the Taiyi Yuan Venerates who had mastered the Sky Laws.

When someone mastered the Sky Laws, their level of mastery would also affect the amount of fighting prowess they possessed.

Xingtian Taiyi, Shentian Taiyi, Xiantian Taiyi!

Most people who had mastered the sky laws were at the Xingtian level. This meant that, in terms of their mastery of the sky laws, they had only obtained the form of the sky laws.

However, they strongly believed that, given Luo Jiutian’s level, his mastery of the sky laws would definitely reach Xiantian standards if he broke through to the Taiyi Yuan Venerate.

If they obtained the laws of Luo Jiutian, they would definitely improve their strength greatly and give them more room to progress.

At the Yuan Venerate level, especially at the Taiyi Yuan Venerate level, it became extremely hard for one to improve further. It could even be said that there were no Taiyi Yuan Venerates who could improve much by themselves.

They would thus never pass up an opportunity like this.

Yuan Venerate Jinta looked at his foolish comrades without saying a word.

While he greatly revered Luo Jiutian’s Breaking Thousand Skies technique, he was not willing to give up his own aspirations to absorb Luo Jiutian’s sword law.

However, he would not easily pass up this opportunity so that others could have it either. He could exchange what he didn’t need for other resources.

His gaze fell on the long sword, which was single-handedly preventing Luo Jiutian from being burned by the endless flames.

As he watched the godly Luo Jiutian, Yuan Venerate Jinta’s thoughts shifted to Luo Yunyang. The two of them could be described in four words: Powerful father, worthless son.

Was Luo Jutian already aware of his son’s incompetence? Was that why he had sent him to the Taixu Sect to seek asylum?

As Yuan Venerate Jinta was deep in thought, Luo Yunyang felt his blood run cold. Although he had already completely recovered his cultivation, his chances of beating Yuan Venerate Jinta in battle remained pretty slim.

After all, Yuan Venerate Jinta wasn’t someone who had barely scraped into the Taiyi Yuan Venerate. His mastery of the sky laws, however, was only at the Xingtian level.

Of course, if Luo Yunyang used this chance to catch him off guard with an arrow, he might still have a small chance of victory.

He did not place too much focus on Yuan Venerate Jinta. After all, this was a being with a great cultivation base. Luo Yunyang might unintentionally put him on high alert by focusing on him too much.

What Luo Yunyang wanted to do now was wait for the critical moment and support his father when he was most needed.

The Six-Dragon Sun Striking Bow was already ready!

Time passed quickly, so 49 days passed in the blink of an eye. From the looks of things, there weren’t many changes to Luo Jiutian or his sword’s appearance.

Nothing about Duolu Fantian, who was still shooting flames from his finger, had changed either.

However, Luo Yunyang felt as though they had both reached their limits. Nevertheless, he still felt that Luo Jiutian’s sword had the potential to break through that intense pressure.

Going against the flow was sure to be explosive!

As long as he could master this sword technique, his father would surely become the best of the best even amongst Taiyi Yuan Venerates.

Luo Yunyang felt eager anticipation in his heart.

“Luo Jiutian, I must admit that you have exceeded my expectations. If I were alone this time, I really might have admitted defeat!” Duolu Fantian said sympathetically.

Liu Jiutian remained silent, his calm unnerving expression never leaving his face.

“I am giving you a chance to concede and yield to the Dafankong Sect. If you do so, I will spare you and even aid you in completing your current metamorphosis.”

“My sword can break but it will never bend!” Luo Jiutian replied calmly with absolute resolution in his voice.

“Luo Jiutian, how can everything in this world go your way?” Duolu Fantian shook his head.

“Since you have chosen the path of death, I shall have the honor of sending you on your way.”

As he said that, a green leaf appeared in Duolufentian’s hands. While the leaf looked ordinary, it increased the fury of the flames a hundred times when it was split in two by Duolu Fantian.
