Chapter 36: A Few Steps Below

Keng Qiang! Boom! Boom! Boom! (sounds of fighting)

Sounds were echoing throughout the open field in front of Gu Xie Xin Schools main gate.

The distinct clang of steel weapons could be heard by anyone in the area, and the ground was shaking from the dull but heavy explosions caused by the clashes.

Two figures were embroiled with each other in a fierce battle. There was a mix between sword and martial arts, but it was hard to distinguish them.

The disciples of the Gu Xie Xin school that were standing around the field were continuously cheering at the intense spectacle caused by the two exceptional practitioners.

Finally

Clang!

A resounding sound rang through the air. In an instant, the entire ground shook as the sword aura descended and exhibited massive martial pressure. In response to the sudden change of events, Line Jues expression became tense. Both of his knees buckled and he had almost collapsed from the sheer pressure caused by the sword aura. Yet, when one looked at the white, veiled female disciple, one would never think that she would be dropping from the sky like a fierce thorn. (tl: drop from sky: idiom, meaning appear unexpectedly)

Like a goddess, her beautiful figure left the disciples of Gu Xie Xin School mesmerized.

Lin Jue only had one pair of metal gloves, but they couldnt withstand the pressure of this sword aura at all. He could not move, and it was clear he wouldnt be even be able to to dodge the incoming strike.

Lin Jue only stared with both of his eyes, as he saw the incoming stab from her sword. His face was stricken with panic.

Then, right at the last moment, the sword twirled around, and Bai Yan Shan suddenly changed her sword attack. She gracefully spun around, raised her leg and sent a kick straight towards Lin Jues chest.

Bang!

This talented disciple of the Gu Xie Xin School was absolutely defeated. He crashed pathetically to the borders of the field.

Senior Lin Jue! The disciples around the field exclaimed.

The patriarchs expression also became very ugly. His cold heart became very regretful, and his eyes became filled with endless amounts of fury.

But he could only gaze angrily into space as both Bai Yan Shans feet landed gracefully back on the ground. Her beautiful face had remained calm the entire time, and with a quick motion, her sword was back in her sheath.

She took a few steps forward, gently saluted and politely announced, Thank you for the battle.

Lin Jue could only grind his teeth and furiously glare at Bai Yan Shan. He disdainfully sucked in a breath and then cupped his fists. He turned to face the patriarch Tie Zhan Men and knelt down while saying,, This disciple has failed you. Patriarch, please deliver the punishment!

We actually trusted you to succeed, yet with your pathetic ability, you only succeeded in being completely beaten to the ground by the Immortal Sword Sects disciple! You have basically sealed the fate of the school! Youyou piece of trash!

Suddenly, Tie Zhang Men coldly ordered, Come, bring him down from there, get up!

Yes, patriarch! The elite disciples around the field quickly sprung into action.

Patriarch Zhan Men, thisthis isnt very appropriate, right? Elder Chang Lao asked, then continued, Patriarch Zhan Men, Lie Jue is your heir. He has only been training for a few years, so his spirit cultivation is only in the early stages. Winning and losing is a commonplace in the martial world, so please rethink your decision. Thisthis

He not only made the Gu Xie Xin School lose a lot of face but
