"The Sect Leader has defeated the Emperor Sword Sect. The title of Unbeatable Sword Sect is now firmly established. No one can dispute it anymore; anyone who does is being unreasonable."
Seeing the Emperor Sword Sect leave dejectedly, the Law Enforcent Elder was pleased and nodded, a smile on his face.
"Exactly! With the Emperor Sword Sect’s loss, the older generation of masters should have nothing more to say."
Another Elder also replied with a grin.
"At first, I had my doubts. Was it a farce for the Sect Leader to appoint such a young man as his successor? Now, it seems the Sect Leader is as discerning as ever. His seemingly absurd decision was, in fact, incredibly wise. The successor he chose is freakishly talented!"
"The title of Unbeatable Sword Sect is the ultimate honor for Grand Masters below the Sky Apex Realm!"
The Elders of the Cyan Robe Association were in lively discussion, their faces beaming with joy.
Ling Chen, being so freakishly talented and shining brightly in the Martial World, brought honor to them as mbers of the Cyan Robe Association.
...
As soon as the Emperor Sword Sect left Green Cloud Mountain, they encountered an old rival—the Blood Demon Blade Sect.
"Oh, old ghost Emperor Sword, you’re just returning from Green Cloud Mountain?"
The Blood Demon Blade Sect had intended to tease the Emperor Sword Sect, but noticing his depleted aura and apparent serious internal injuries, he asked with confusion, "Looking at you, it seems you’ve already fought Dustless? What was the outco?"
He assud Emperor Sword Sect must have won, but Ling Chen had put up a good fight, inflicting serious injuries on him.
The Emperor Sword Sect, who had always disdained this old rival, curtly replied, "I lost."
After saying so, he spurred his Sword Bird mount, and with a flicker, it passed by the Blood Demon Blade Sect.
"You lost?" The Blood Demon Blade Sect hadn’t recovered from the shock.
Impossible! How could he lose? If he lost, then what am I doing here?
The Blood Demon Blade Sect was skeptical. His strength was on par with the Emperor Sword Sect. If even the Emperor Sword Sect had lost to Ling Chen, it undoubtedly ant he likely wasn’t a match either.
No, I’ve co all this way. How can I retreat without even entering the mountain gate?
A glint flashed in the Blood Demon Blade Sect’s eyes. If word got out that I was scared away without even entering the mountain gate, how could I, the Blood Demon Blade Sect, maintain my reputation in the Jianghu?
"Let’s go and et this youngster!"
Urging his Blood Feather Eagle mount, the Blood Demon Blade Sect sped towards Green Cloud Mountain.
Another one is coming. Ling Chen sensed the approaching red dot and looked up. I’ve already guessed who it is.
"Blood Demon Blade Sect, didn’t you encounter the Emperor Sword Sect on your way here? Didn’t he tell you not to bother coming?" Ling Chen gazed at the Blood Feather Eagle, now a kiloter away, and sent his voice via True Qi.
The Blood Demon Blade Sect was startled. What? Did old ghost Emperor Sword really lose to this youngster? Initially, he hadn’t believed it.
"Hmph, so what? Dustless, you call yourself the Unbeatable Sword Sect. Surely you’re not afraid of being challenged?" the Blood Demon Blade Sect retorted, his eyes flashing.
"Of course not. It’s just a hassle." Ling Chen’s eyelid twitched. "Blood Demon Blade Sect, you are no match for . However, since you insist on challenging , I’ll give you one chance. If you can withstand my ultimate technique, I will cede the ’Unbeatable’ title to you. If not, then return whence you ca. How about it?"
"Really?" The Blood Demon Blade Sect was tempted. The ’Unbeatable’ title... it’s impossible not to be moved. Although I estimate I’m not Ling Chen’s match, I should be able to block one attack. After all, I’m a Grand Master of the blade way, on par with the Emperor Sword Sect.
"Absolutely." A smirk touched Ling Chen’s lips. His hand suddenly moved, and the Red Sky Sword unsheathed, transforming into a flaming teor that shot out violently.
In the blink of an eye, the flaming teor was in front of the Blood Demon Blade Sect, forcing him to quickly raise his blade to block it.
However, the very next mont, the flaming teor seed to have eyes, abruptly changing trajectory and slashing into the Blood Demon Blade Sect’s chest.
SPURT!
A mouthful of blood sprayed out as the Blood Demon Blade Sect was thrown backward. He crashed into a giant boulder, shattering it to pieces.
The Blood Demon Blade Sect’s eyes nearly bulged out, as if he’d seen a ghost. Impossible! I couldn’t even take one hit? A deep sense of frustration washed over him.
"Want to try again?" Ling Chen asked indifferently, his True Qi active.
"No need! We’ll et again!" The Blood Demon Blade Sect had lost all courage to continue fighting. He leaped onto the back of his Blood Feather Eagle, fleeing in disgrace, much faster than he had arrived.
"Defeating the Blood Demon Blade Sect with a single sword strike... If word of this gets out, it will cause a huge sensation!" an Elder of the Cyan Robe Association exclaid after a long, shocked silence.
"Terrifying! His current cultivation is only The Master of the Sixth Realm." Another Elder from the Cyan Robe Association swallowed hard, finding it hard to believe such a person existed.
"Heh, geniuses are those who break conventions. Of course, it’s shocking if you view them through an ordinary lens," the Law Enforcent Elder said with an air of profound mystery. "Besides, as the successor personally chosen by the Sect Leader, he ought to possess so of his predecessor’s caliber."
The Law Enforcent Elder held an almost blind admiration for the Cyan-robed Guest, whom he considered the number one expert in the Martial World. In his eyes, Ling Chen, as the Cyan-robed Guest’s heir, naturally had to possess such potential.
...
The news of Ling Chen successively defeating the Emperor Sword Sect and the Blood Demon Blade Sect spread like wildfire. Transmitted by word of mouth, its reach grew exponentially each day. Within half a month, the entire Martial World knew.
All those who had been waiting to see Ling Chen make a fool of himself were dumbfounded, scarcely believing their ears. The Emperor Sword Sect and the Blood Demon Blade Sect, renowned for twenty or thirty years, had actually lost to a junior, Dustless, and returned in disgrace. It was astounding! Who else among the Grand Masters in the world could possibly defeat Ling Chen?
Those older masters who had been itching for a fight with Ling Chen quickly suppressed their ambitions upon hearing this news. They were also secretly relieved they hadn’t rushed to Green Cloud Mountain to challenge him; otherwise, they would have undoubtedly been crushed.
The ’Unbeatable’ title, it seed, was now set in stone, irrevocable.
Throughout history, only one person had dared to claim the title ’Unbeatable’: the Invincible Demon Lord, the first Sect Leader of the Saint Witch Religion. His strength at the ti was unparalleled, reaching an invincible state at the Sky Apex Realm. The Saint Witch Religion had nearly unified the entire Martial World back then. The Invincible Demon Lord was a legend of the Demon Way. Now, another person had earned the ’Unbeatable’ title: Ling Chen.
Although Ling Chen’s strength was not yet comparable to the Invincible Demon Lord’s, his ’Unbeatable’ title was genuine, without any exaggeration, sufficient to earn the admiration and respect of the world.
