Hearing Nan Jianjun's words, the other Sword Cultivators fell silent. After all, Nan Jianjun was a disciple of the Sect Leader, and his status was significant. Even though his current cultivation level was not as high as theirs, he was not someone they could easily offend.
The leading Huang Shixiong noticed the situation and his eyes darkened slightly. He coldly said, "Alright, we are here to kill the Black Cloud Python. With you acting like this, what kind of demeanor is that? If you want the Nine-Leaf Dragon Snake Grass, it's simple: bring something of equal value to exchange. There's no negotiation on this!"
Nan Jianjun was about to say more but was pulled back by Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie realized that Huang Shixiong and all the Sword Cultivators would not easily let them have their way. Their relationship with Nan Jianjun might not be that good either!
Now that he was weaker than them, it was useless to argue. Even begging would only make him a laughingstock. The only option left was to follow their suggestion and offer something in exchange.
"Alright, we're going to kill the Black Cloud Python now. Nan Shidi, you can stay here and catch up with your pitiful friends if you want. After all, you're so weak and your status is so high; if we hurt you, we can't bear the consequences."
Huang Shixiong smirked, his cold words flowing out without hesitation.
The other Sword Cultivators echoed in agreement and followed Huang Shixiong towards the direction of the Black Cloud Python.
"Hmph! What kind of people are your senior brothers? They are truly arrogant!" Hong Chi said to Nan Jianjun with crossed arms and an indignant expression as he watched the Sword Cultivators leave.
"Sigh!" Nan Jianjun sighed and apologetically said to Ling Mo Xie, "Brother Ling, I'm really sorry. They..."
Ling Mo Xie looked at the Sword Cultivators flying towards the Black Cloud Python and patted Nan Jianjun's shoulder, saying, "Why are you apologizing? If it weren't for you, we might already be dead. But what kind of sect are you in? To be honest, a sect like that isn't worth staying in!"
Nan Jianjun smiled slightly and replied, "It's just them acting this way. My master treats me well; he specifically called me along this time for experience. I didn't expect... Sigh! They aren't entirely unreasonable; after all, I am weaker than any of them but receive better treatment. Anyone would feel resentful."
"So what if your cultivation level is lower than theirs? Your talent is better than any of them. In less than three years since you left, you've already grown to this extent!"
Ling Mo Xie had used a probing technique when he encountered those Sword Cultivators and had been puzzled as to why there was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator among a group of experts; it turned out to be Nan Jianjun.
When Nan Jianjun left, he was only at the Enlightenment stage. Such a growth rate could be considered a miracle in the cultivation world!
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's praise, Nan Jianjun merely smiled lightly and said, "Brother Ling, don't worry. My master has indeed given me quite a few good things; it's enough for me to exchange for that Nine-Leaf Dragon Snake Grass."
Hearing Nan Jianjun's words, Ling Mo Xie shook his head and said, "There's no need to trouble you with this. I'll handle it myself; after all... it's just temporarily stored with them."
Ling Mo Xie's voice was calm and indifferent, as if he were merely stating a fact. His hands hung by his sides, clenched into fists. These guys were truly infuriating!
Hong Chi, who was standing nearby, was taken aback by Ling Mo Xie's words at first, then jumped up, raising his fist. "Yes! Exactly! We will go confront them! Haha!"
Nan Jianjun stared blankly at Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi, then a genuine smile suddenly appeared on his stern face. He tightened his grip on the sword hilt and said, "That's right! Living in their shadow for so long has unknowingly affected me. Since I am a Sword Cultivator, I should be as sharp as a sword!"
"If they think my cultivation doesn't deserve the privileges inside the sect, then I will strive to surpass their cultivation by far! At that time, they will have no choice but to acknowledge me!"
Nan Jianjun spoke with determination, his deep gaze fixed on the Sword Cultivators who were already battling the Black Cloud Python amidst thunder and lightning. A momentum like a sword piercing the heavens rose from Nan Jianjun.
That was the unique sword intent of a Sword Cultivator!
Ling Mo Xie noticed that the Nan Jianjun standing before him seemed no longer like a person but rather like a sharp and radiant sword!
"No way!" Hong Chi exclaimed in shock, his mouth agape. "Is this... a breakthrough?"
"Boss, you are just inhuman! Not only are you a genius yourself, but look at the people you know; they're all geniuses too! We just exchanged a few words, and he breaks through?"
Seeing Nan Jianjun's condition, Ling Mo Xie was momentarily stunned as well. He shrugged without responding to Hong Chi's words but thought to himself: Could this be the legendary epiphany? It's truly amazing how he broke through so inexplicably.
Unfortunately, I have to rely on experience to level up; it seems I won't be able to experience such wonders.
Of course, this wasn't an epiphany; it was simply that Nan Jianjun's thoughts had reached clarity. He had already accumulated enough to be on the verge of a breakthrough, which is why he broke through.
At that moment, the sword intent emanating from Nan Jianjun had increased significantly, even forming a tangible wind that blew Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi—who were unprepared—away.
Feeling this astonishing sword intent, the Sword Cultivators not far away who were fighting the Black Cloud Python couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.
"Has Nan Shidi broken through? That means he's reached the Out-of-Body stage?"
"With such talent, it's no wonder he was taken as a direct disciple by the Sect Master. But it's still so unfair! He joined later than us, so why does he get this? Heaven is truly unjust!"
"Exactly! His cultivation speed is so fast, and isn't it all because the Sect Master gave him so many good things? I really want to take advantage of this chance to deal with Heiyun Mang..."
"You all shouldn't say that. It's safer to deal with him inside the sect rather than outside. The Sect Master treasures this disciple so much; he might have left some trump cards for him or even sent someone to protect him in secret." Brother Huang, having listened to the discussions among the sword cultivators, initially remained silent as he watched Nan Jianjun in the midst of his breakthrough. Finally, he snapped back to reality and said coldly.
However, Heiyun Mang was not an easy opponent either. While the sword cultivators were distracted, Heiyun Mang, who had previously been suppressed by them, suddenly flashed a glimmer in his crimson eyes and revealed a cold smile. With a flick of his tail, he struck the thunderclouds above.
The thunderclouds were the Tribulation Thunder that Heiyun Mang was using to transcend his tribulation. Upon receiving such a strike, they trembled violently, and a thunderbolt the size of a basin crackled with electricity and charged toward Heiyun Mang.
Heiyun Mang immediately charged toward the sword cultivators, targeting none other than Brother Huang.
Brother Huang and Heiyun Mang were both at the initial stage of integration. It was because of Brother Huang's presence that Heiyun Mang had been held back by these sword cultivators, which naturally made Heiyun Mang loathe Brother Huang intensely.
"Hmm?" Brother Huang, coming back to his senses, saw Heiyun Mang charging at him with a pillar-like bolt of lightning and couldn't help but change his expression. He quickly circulated all his spiritual energy into his flying sword, trying to evade.
The other sword cultivators who had originally surrounded Brother Huang scattered in panic without caring about their image.
Ling Mo Xie and Xiao Chi were blown away by the tangible violent wind created by Nan Jianjun's sword intent and stopped at a distance. They looked back just in time to see they were not far from Heiyun Mang and Brother Huang, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Heiyun Mang was at the Integration stage; this attack aimed at Brother Huang not only gathered all his spiritual energy but also had the unmatched power of Tribulation Thunder following behind!
If Ling Mo Xie and Xiao Chi were even slightly grazed by it, they might very well lose their lives!
Thus, almost instantly, Ling Mo Xie and Xiao Chi transformed into flames and vanished into thin air.
Xiao Chi was a fire spirit capable of transforming into all flames he mastered, while Ling Mo Xie naturally utilized his fire clone skill.
However, before using this skill, Ling Mo Xie noticed Brother Huang, who was not far from him and was gathering his spiritual energy to prepare for escape. A wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Heh heh, this is what you get for being so arrogant, for mocking me so coldly, and for bullying Xiao Jun. Let me collect a bit of interest first!"
Almost as soon as the thought crossed his mind, a white light enveloped Brother Huang, and at the same time, Ling Mo Xie transformed into a flame and vanished.
Ling Mo Xie did not expect this immobilization technique to have much effect; after all, the level difference between them was too great. However, after it appeared, he still glanced in Brother Huang's direction immediately.
Brother Huang looked at the dark cloud beast charging toward him and felt a wave of panic. For some reason, his sword control technique had failed him, and he couldn't escape!
As the massive head of the dark cloud beast drew closer, fear gripped Brother Huang's heart. He found himself unable to move for several breaths!
This was unimaginable for him; in battles at their level, even a single breath could determine victory or defeat. Being unable to move for several breaths meant he could not avoid the dark cloud beast's charge.
The dark cloud beast possessed dragon lineage, making its physical body incredibly strong—one of the top-tier beasts among those of equal rank. Moreover, it was currently fueled by the Ninth Tribulation Thunder and harbored immense resentment toward him, using all its strength.
This was clearly a dead end!
Seeing this, Ling Mo Xie revealed a faint smile. Although he initially only intended to collect a bit of interest, if Brother Huang were to perish like this, he would naturally be quite pleased!
After all, someone who wanted to kill without distinction right from the start did not seem like a good person. Ling Mo Xie felt no psychological burden at all for his death due to his own actions.
