I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos
Chapter 40: The Might Of A Sword

As soon as these words were spoken, the area around the square immediately buzzed with commotion.

"Junior Brother Su actually wants to challenge Senior Brother Qi Yang in his peak state?"

"Senior Brother Qi Yang is at the peak of the Martial Master realm. His combat power is not weaker than that of an average early-stage Origin Elixir realm cultivator!" Sᴇaʀᴄh the N0vᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"While Su Zhan has achieved the feat of instantly killing Lu Jian, who was also at the late stage of the Essence Condensation realm, the higher the cultivation realm, the greater the disparity. Moreover, Senior Brother Qi Yang is not an ordinary peak Martial Master realm cultivator. Does he really think he can defeat a Origin Elixir ealm powerhouse?"

…

Whether they were true disciples or inner disciples, they couldn't understand why Su Zhan had such confidence and dared to challenge the top disciple of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect with his recent breakthrough to the Martial Master realm.

Not only these disciples, but also a group of elders who were watching the battle from nearby stone platforms were puzzled and couldn't comprehend the situation.

Qin Jincheng furrowed his brows slightly.

Although he thought that Su Zhan held a high chance to win, that was under the assumption that Qi Yang would suppress his cultivation. If Qi Yang fought at his full power, which was already equal to the Origin Elixir realm, it was hard to say whether Su Zhan could win or not!

Before he could decide whether to intervene in this battle with such a stark difference in strength, Chen Changfeng couldn't hold back any longer and flew out, landing on the square. His first words were directed at Su Zhan, "Su Zhan, your cultivation realm is not yet completely stable, and now you propose a battle. It's too hasty. Let's postpone it!"

Before Su Zhan could reply, Qi Yang became somewhat anxious and said, "Elder Chen, this is the agreement that Junior Brother Su personally made yesterday. Junior Brother Su is such a genius. How can his words be taken lightly? Besides, I will suppress my cultivation realm and have a fair fight with Junior Brother Su!"

Su Zhan glanced at Qi Yang and calmly said, "I'll say it again. Today, there's no need for you to suppress your cultivation. I know you hold grudges against me. The matters between us will be resolved in this battle, and you don't need to have any other ulterior motives."

"Su Zhan, you…"

"Elder Chen, I can say such words because I have my own assurance."

Seeing Su Zhan's resolute attitude, Chen Changfeng furrowed his brow slightly and said somewhat helplessly, "Well then, I respect your decision, but Su Zhan, Qi Yang is the top disciple of the sect, not an ordinary Martial Master realm cultivator. Be careful!"

"Yes, I will be cautious," Su Zhan nodded.

Chen Changfeng left with a hint of helplessness.

"Sect Master, with Su Zhan's confidence, could it be that he has mastered the Flowing Fire Sword Technique to the pinnacle? If that's the case, by activating his divine body, he might have a chance to defeat Qi Yang!" Returning to the stone platform, Chen Changfeng hesitated and asked.

Qin Jincheng shook his head, "I can't say for certain, but it's highly likely. Otherwise, Su Zhan wouldn't have such confidence."

"To cultivate the Flowing Fire Sword Technique to the pinnacle in just two days… it seems quite unbelievable. But considering all the extraordinary things Su Zhan has done since entering the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, it's not that hard to accept anymore." Recalling the various miraculous things that Su Zhan had shown since joining the sect, Chen Changfeng even found it somewhat reasonable that he could cultivate a sword technique to the pinnacle in just two days.

After all, compared to other outrageous things Su Zhan had done, like going out and accidentally finding fragments of stars or Ouyang Mu wanting to become his disciple, two days of perfecting a sword technique seemed like the only thing he had done as a normal human being.

Chen Changfeng silently mocked in his heart and looked at Su Zhan with anticipation.

On the square.

Qi Yang and Su Zhan stood fifty meters apart.

"Junior Brother Su, let me ask you one last time, are you really not in need of me suppressing my cultivation?" A cold smile appeared on Qi Yang's lips. "During the battle, I may not hold back, do you understand?"

"Do you need to talk so much?" Su Zhan calmly replied, "I said, bring out your strongest state, all your trump cards, and fight me."

"Good! I want to see what you, Junior Brother Su , have to rely on!" Qi Yang didn't say much. His true qi surged and directly activated the White Dragon Saint Body.

A white dragon appeared, and Qi Yang's aura greatly increased!

"Junior Brother Su , the sword technique I cultivate is the White Dragon Sword Art. The sword energy transforms into a dragon, crushing everything in its path. If you can't hold on, just say the word, perhaps Senior Brother will…"

Before Qi Yang could finish his sentence, Su Zhan interrupted him, "Enough! Let's begin!"

The atmosphere on the square became tense, and all eyes were focused on the upcoming battle between Qi Yang and Su Zhan.

"I still have time to hold back!" Qi Yang feigned a look as if he didn't want to harm Su Zhan's life.

"Why do you have so much useless talk?" Su Zhan replied coldly.

He sensed a strong killing intent emanating from Qi Yang. It was disgusting how Qi Yang harbored murderous intentions towards him but still wanted to put on a gentle senior brother facade in front of everyone… truly nauseating.

"If you don't make a move soon, don't blame me for not giving you a chance." While speaking, Su Zhan began circulating his Sun Flame True qi.

Hearing this, Qi Yang's eyes brimmed with killing intent. He no longer waited and released his lifesource weapon from his brow.

Grasping his lifesource sword, Qi Yang's aura reached its peak as he unleashed a slash.

White Dragon Sword Art!

In the air, a dragon's roar resounded, shaking the entire mountain peak. Strands of sword qi intertwined, forming a dragon head the size of a house, exuding astonishing power as it flew towards Su Zhan.

As the dragon head charged forward, the sword qi behind it continued to intertwine, transforming into dragon claws, dragon body, and dragon tail. Behind Qi Yang, the phantom of the White Dragon shone brightly, splitting into a shadow that merged with the sword qi white dragon. Instantly, the power of the white dragon surged even further!

"Boom!"

The entire square trembled. Wherever the sword qi white dragon passed, it stirred up gusts of wind, sweeping across the surface of the white stone square.

Bricks and stones shattered and flew in all directions!

This awe-inspiring scene filled the hearts of thousands of disciples with excitement. They widened their eyes, afraid to miss any detail.

"The combination of the White Dragon Saint Body and the White Dragon Sword Art is formidable! It's incredibly powerful!"

"Somebody told me before that our Sect's top-ranked Qi Yang senior brother can fight against higher-level Origin Elixir warriors. I didn't believe it, but today, I believe!"

"Senior brother Qi Yang is even stronger than I imagined. I wonder how senior brother Su Zhan will respond?"

"Senior brother Su has also drawn his sword! His sword technique—"

Before that disciple could finish his sentence, he only saw a flash of sword light. The mighty white dragon shattered and dissipated directly. Then, Qi Yang's body was sent flying, crashing into a massive pillar hundreds of meters away!

Only then did the disciple's face turn bewildered as he uttered the last two words, "So fast!"

Not only were the inner disciples of the Essence Condensation realm baffled, even the true disciples rubbed their eyes, doubting if their vision was malfunctioning.

As martial artists in the Martial Master realm, they naturally had a clearer view than the inner disciples. At the same time, they were even more shocked! Before the white dragon's sword qi arrived, Su Zhan had only executed one sword strike.

One sword strike released a beam of starlight flame sword qi, which, apart from being exceptionally fast, seemed to lack the imposing might of Qi Yang's White Dragon Sword Art. However, the moment the two collided, the white dragon disintegrated like a pile of sand, dissipating into nothingness upon impact!

The true disciples attempted to visualize themselves in Qi Yang's position but found that when faced with that sword qi, they had no way out except death! That one sword… was terrifying!

It was too terrifying! In this world, there exists such a terrifying sword technique!

The Sect Master, Qin Jincheng, suddenly stood up from his seat. Even he couldn't comprehend Su Zhan's sword technique.

"Su Zhan, what sword technique did you just use?"

Su Zhan replied, "Firestar Sword Technique."

"Firestar Sword Technique?" Qin Jincheng carefully pondered for a moment, realizing that he had never even heard the name of this sword technique before. The other elders also wore puzzled expressions.

"Firestar Sword Technique?"

"Wasn't Su Zhan cultivating the Flowing Fire Sword Technique? Why did he switch to this sword technique?"

"This sword technique is much more powerful than the Flowing Fire Sword Technique, but it seems that our sect doesn't have this sword technique, right?"

"No, the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect definitely doesn't have this sword technique! Even in the Xia Country, or even among the fifteen countries in the Eastern Terrirtory, there is no mention of the existence of this sword technique!"

…

Su Zhan glanced at the bewildered elders and shook his head. "It's normal that you haven't heard of it because I personally named this sword technique."
