Chapter 191 The duel begins, a decisive victory.
One month later.
During this period, Lu Yao successfully obtained information about Po Jun and Wu Ming through monetary means.
The excuse given to outsiders was that he wanted to befriend Po Jun and Wu Ming. Too many people in the Sword Sect had the same idea, and no one suspected Lu Yao.
During this period, Lu Yao would occasionally go out to gather information, and at night he would return to his original space to deal with matters concerning the Xiaoyao Sect.
Soon, Lu Yao received news that Po Jun and Wu Ming were going to have a duel.
"Senior Brother Lu, have you heard? Po Jun and Wu Ming are going to decide who will inherit the Sword Sect's Ten Thousand Swords Return to One Sword Manual through a duel!"
Ao Kong found Lu Yao and said with great longing in his eyes.
"Should we start?"
Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly; the duel between Po Jun and Wu Ming was finally about to begin.
"I heard it will start in a month. It's a pity that only sect elders can go to watch the battle. Otherwise, being able to watch two sword geniuses duel would make this trip to the Sword Sect worthwhile."
When Ao Kong said he couldn't go to watch the game, he looked very regretful.
"The sect has its reasons for doing this."
Lu Yao chuckled inwardly. They still dared to go look? They really had a death wish.
"By the way, you've joined the Sword Sect, but your wife is still in Sword City?"
Lu Yao suddenly remembered the woman who came with Ao Kong and couldn't help but ask her curiously.
“My wife is currently in Sword City. I originally planned to stay at the Sword Sect for two years, but she is pregnant, so this trip to the Sword Sect for cultivation has to be canceled.”
"I plan to stay at the Sword Sect for another two months before returning to the Sword Worship Manor. After that, I won't be able to drink with Senior Brother Lu anymore."
Ao Kong had a smile on his lips, clearly in a very good mood.
The first two months and the last two months of pregnancy are the most dangerous for a woman, and she needs to rest and recuperate during these times. That's why Ao Kong plans to wait two months before returning home.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Ao."
Lu Yao's heart stirred, knowing that Ao Tian was about to be born.
……
Just as Lu Yao was waiting for Po Jun and Wuming to duel, something not insignificant happened at the Sword Sect.
An elder from the outer sect went mad while practicing his martial arts and started killing anyone he saw. He was eventually killed by several elders from the Sword Sect working together.
The person who went mad from practicing qi cultivation was Fu Wenxing.
When Lu Yao received the news, his expression remained unchanged. When Fu Wenxing tried to seize his martial arts, this fate was already sealed.
A month passed quickly.
The duel between Po Jun and Wu Ming also took place in the forbidden area of the back mountain of the Sword Sect.
On the day of the competition, Lu Yao used his lightness skill to sneak up to the back mountain of the Sword Sect.
The duel between Po Jun and Wu Ming took place in a mountain cave. Since Lu Yao couldn't enter, he observed from outside the forbidden area.
Lu Yao had only been a disciple for a short time and had never met any of the higher-ups in the Sword Sect, let alone the sect leader, Jian Hui.
Therefore, Lu Yao simply relied on his powerful eyesight and hearing to observe the movements outside the forbidden area.
As time passed, more and more elders of the Sword Sect and experts from outside the Sword Sect arrived at the forbidden area.
Because the elders of the Sword Sect were all dressed in Sword Sect attire, Lu Yao easily identified the non-Sword Sect members, and there were exactly twelve of them.
The Sword Sect has a total of eight elders, which is truly terrifying for any force.
This doesn't even include all the grandmasters and elders of the Sword Sect; there must be other Sword Sect elders who haven't yet arrived at the forbidden area.
Jian Hui stood outside the forbidden cave, personally welcoming the group of experts who had come to watch the battle.
In a short while, apart from the Sword Sect disciples guarding the entrance of the cave, all the experts who were watching the ceremony entered the forbidden cave.
In the end, Po Jun and Wu Ming also arrived at the forbidden cave together.
Lu Yao easily discerned their identities from their demeanor.
The one with an air of superiority and an arrogant demeanor is definitely Po Jun.
Wuming, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, his expression solemn and resolute.
After the two entered the cave, Lu Yao had no way of knowing what was happening inside and could only wait.
Several hours later, a surge of true energy suddenly emanated from the cave.
An intense frost instantly spread from the cave entrance, freezing the Sword Sect disciples outside the forbidden cave into ice sculptures.
Just then, three figures suddenly rushed out of the cave.
"father!"
Po Jun looked terrified and was about to rush into the forbidden cave.
"return!"
As the only elder of the Sword Sect to escape, the Sword Emperor was also terrified.
Seeing that Po Jun still dared to go into the cave, they immediately pulled him back.
"This forbidden area has been completely frozen by the sect leader using the Heaven-Returning Ice Technique. They are all dead!"
Sword Emperor looked at the cave with lingering fear, his expression revealing a sense of dread.
If it weren't for the special cultivation technique he used, he would have surely died inside. Even so, he was still injured by the Heaven-Returning Ice Technique.
The nameless man standing to the side also looked somewhat panicked, after all, the scene just now was too exciting and frightening.
It's unbelievable that Jian Hui, the sect leader of the Sword Sect, perished along with a group of top experts and many elders of the Sword Sect who were attending the ceremony.
"The Sword Sect is finished!"
The Sword Emperor looked quite pained and couldn't help but sigh.
The deaths of eight elders of the Sword Sect in the forbidden area are a devastating blow to the sect.
Furthermore, with the sect leader Jian Hui dead, the sect is leaderless, and who knows what kind of trouble might arise.
Just then, a terrifying sword aura suddenly enveloped the Sword Emperor.
"who!"
Sword Emperor's expression changed, and he quickly used his protective sword energy to defend himself.
"Establishing the Divine Sword Formation!"
Lu Yao let out a soft shout, not bothering to waste words with the Sword Emperor, and immediately launched a full-force attack.
"stop!"
The Sword Emperor looked terrified and hurriedly shouted.
The Sword Emperor had no choice but to panic. He was severely injured by the Heaven-Returning Ice Technique and could not exert his full strength. Under Lu Yao's offensive, he was suppressed in no time.
Lu Yao's expression was cold and stern as he continuously unleashed the Six Meridians Divine Sword, attacking the Sword Emperor.
Meanwhile, Po Jun and Wu Ming, who were standing to the side, were also seriously injured and fell to the ground by Lu Yao's Six Meridian Sword Qi.
Although Jianren has outstanding talent in swordsmanship, he is still only at the late stage of the Innate Realm. How could he possibly withstand Lu Yao's attack?
Half an hour later, Lu Yao dispelled the Six Meridians Divine Sword Formation and walked towards the three people.
At this moment, the Sword Emperor's limbs were pinned down by a six-meridian sword aura, and he looked at Lu Yao in great pain.
"Who are you, and why are you attacking us!"
The physical pain caused Sword Emperor to break out in a cold sweat as he stared intently at Lu Yao.
"Don't look at me like that. If you can meet my requirements, I'll consider sparing your life."
Lu Yao looked at the Sword Emperor indifferently and said softly.
"what are you up to?"
Sword Emperor glanced at Po Jun and Wu Ming, and seeing that the two had not been killed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As the elder who guards the Sword Sect's secret techniques, the Sword Emperor is absolutely devoted to the Sword Sect. Po Jun and Wu Ming are the Sword Sect's most talented disciples and its hope, so nothing can happen to them.
"Give me the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One and the Heavenly Origin Sword Technique."
Lu Yao remained expressionless as he looked at the Sword Emperor and spoke.
"impossible!"
Sword Emperor looked at Lu Yao in shock, never expecting that Lu Yao had come for the Sword Sect's ultimate technique.
