“Yuan Xinggang, it’s been a while.”
“So you came as well, Xiao Yunshan…”
Elder Yuan and Xiao Yunshan stared at each other, like old friends that hadn’t seen each other in ages, but it also felt like a meeting of strangers from how cold the reception was.
Ren Xiaoyun was overjoyed, “High Venerable, you came just in time. This old man is in the Soul Harmony Stage and harder to fight than we thought.”
“Soul Harmony Stage is it?”
Xiao Yunshan rose an eyebrow, “Yuan Xinggang, you surprise me again. With your aptitude, I thought that Ethereal Stage would be the end for you. It’s truly amazing you reached Soul Harmony Stage. You’re a miracle worker.”
Elder Yuan shook his head, “There’s nothing mirculous about it, just perseverance. All I had was endless focus to reach my goals.”
“Yeah, but even so, you’ve opened my eyes.” Xiao Yunshan nodded.
Elder Yuan shook his head and sighed, “I fear this would be the last time. Have you come to kill me?”
“No, I only heard of the sect plan and knew you would pass away and came to see you one last time.”
Xiao Yunshan looked at the pale Ren Xiaoyun then said, “But by the looks of it, I’ll have to intervene. Yuan Xinggang, we both know each other well. The vow we made in a fit of fury is still fresh in my mind. You should know my determination.”
Elder Yuan nodded, “All that matters is the sect. Since High Venerable decided to take my life, as its High Venerable, you must carry it out. I understand and always have.”
“Then words are unnecessary. Our 102nd fight will also be the last!” Xiao Yunshan made a flourishing gesture as he said, “Let us put a final end to our friendship.”
Elder Yuan squinted and nodded, “I shall show you what I gained these years.”
“Ha-ha-ha, right back at you. You won’t touch a single hair on me. “
“We’ll see!”
Elder Yuan unleashed his power, making earthly scales cover his entire body. He went all out from the start.
Even Ren Xiaoyun found it hard to breathe. He was shocked by the power he had despite being a fresh Soul Harmony cultivator.
[This coot is strong!]
Xiao Yunshan’s eyes shook, “I knew you won’t let me down. Then I should get to it as well and give you a proper parting.”
Xiao Yunshan showed his power as well, releasing bitting winds. He draw out two fingers and the sharpness his body had was enough to cut the world.
Heaven Trailing Sword, the invincible!
None could stand up to that sword. This was his power, as the best of the one sword five dragons.
Elder Yuan’s eyes shook and sighed.
[Heaven Trailing Sword indeed.]
He knew what would come next but his determination was firm. He shouted and charged.
With a draconic roar, immense power exploded and ruining the room.
Xiao Yunshan charged as well, meeting him half way.
Ugh!
The two crossed each other then stopped. There was no boom and no sign anything happened, yet the outcome was already obvious.
But the speed was too fast for any to see.
Elder Yuan fell to one knee as blood seeped from his mouth, but his face was still the same, having known how it would end.
Behind him, Xiao Yunshan stood there on his two feet, with a little blood on his fingers from Elder Yuan…
“Lost in the end.” Elder Yuan’s eyes grew hazy, “You still won, just like every other fight we had…”
Xiao Yunshan remained silent, his face calm.
Ren Xiaoyun was overjoyed High Venerable was so powerful to defeat such a thorn so easily. He really was the Heaven Trailing Sword.
Xie Wuyue was cackling, “Ha-ha-ha, you’re finally done for, old man? Humph, with Heaven Trailing Sect helping me, none can touch me!”
Elder Yuan frowned and his weak body stood straight, his fist clenched.
“Xie Wuyue, even if I die today, I will take you down with me!” Gnashing his teeth, Elder Yuan exploded with power as he shot for Xie Wuyue with a palm.
Xie Wuyue panicked. He was trapped by the Impermanence Five and could not even defend himself.
Ren Xiaoyun shouted, “High Venerable, don’t let him kill Sect Leader Xie or High Venerable will suffer…”
Elder Yuan was about to strike Xie Wuyue but then he spat blood as he slumped to the ground.
Behind him, Xiao Yunshan’s two fingers released a sharp glow with a cold face.
“High Venerable!”
Impermanence Five cried out. Just then, a boom came and the Vicissitude Domain crumbled with the five elders blown away.
Ren Xiaoyun laughed and flicked his fist covered in Yuan Qi as he sneered at them. He turned a smile to Xie Wuyue, “Sect Leader Xie, you’re alright?”
“Thank you, Sect Leader Ren, I am.” Cupping his hands, Xie Wuyue sighed then mocked Elder Yuan, “High Venerable, sorry to disappoint, but you never got to kill me. From now on, Demon Scheming Sect is mine. No matter who it is that tries to fight me, he will die, even you!”
Xie Wuyue raised his hand and a black claw formed and was sent towards the defenseless Impermanence Five.
Pff!
Coughing blood, Impermanence Five lost their lives, leaving only Elder She’s last words, “High Venerable… us brothers will go on ahead…”
Plop~
Their bodies fell to the ground with a resounding sound. High Venerable heard it yet his face remained flat. He forced himself to sit, showing a happy smile, “Xiao Yunshan, after not having seen for so long, allow me to tell you something. I have another disciple, a true genius. The day will come that he would surpass all other geniuses. I am a waste, but I have a true genius disciple. Smart, filial, reasonable and dignified…”
Elder Yuan’s eyes grew moist, feeling he would not see his disciple again. But he did not get to finish as he turned to Xie Wuyue and gnashed his teeth in anger, “Xie Wuyue, you’re only a demon without his path. Demon Scheming Sect will one day be condemned under you!”
“Shut it, geezer, Demon Scheming Sect is now a middle-three sect, under my rule. Zhuo Fan has nothing to do with it. He’s nothing but a pawn of mine. Only I can take Demon Scheming Sect to the top. Why won’t you believe me?”
Xie Wuyue was angry, shaking Elder Yuan’s shoulders and shouting at him.
But Elder Yuan could no longer hear as blood fell from his mouth, his eyes still smiling…
Elder Yuan had passed away.
Looking at Elder Yuan’s body, Xiao Yunshan turned to Xiao Yunshan’s crased look and sighed, “Yuan Xinggang, how sad you left nothing behind- ugh!”
He suddenly clutched his belly and spat blood.
“High Venerable, what’s wrong?” Ren Xiaoyun cried.
Xiao Yunshan waved him off and looked at Elder Yuan with laughter, “Yuan Xinggang, it’s almost been a thousand years and 101 fights, but this time, I had lost to you.”
“I take it back. You’re not useless, but a true genius in the western lands, a genius worthy of entering Double Dragon Manor.” Overcome with sadness, Xiao Yunshan sighed and left.
Ren Xiaoyun saw Xie Wuyue was still lost in his insanity and figured the matter was done, ignoring him and going after High Venerable.
Meanwhile, the slaughter outside went on and on, endlessly…
