The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Challenge, The Terrible Sword Child, The Commandery Princess of County King City

Under the watchful gaze of countless onlookers, a young man in a white robe levitated into the air.

Clothed in fluttering robes, he emitted a piercing and vast sword momentum, like a treasured sword that had left its sheath, capable of slicing through the heavens and splitting the earth.

“It’s him!” Huo Yunjie exclaimed.

“Who is this?” Ye Feng asked.

“Bai Chunfeng, the top named True Disciple of Divine Wind Sword Sect! When we entered the city, I caught a glimpse of him. I heard that he once competed with Mu Ruxue for the position of Sword Child, a prodigy indeed,” Huo Yunjie explained in a low voice.

Upon entering the city, he had personally witnessed Bai Chunfeng sitting atop the Golden Crowned Azure Bird, exuding an imposing aura.

“Then this will be quite a show,” Ye Feng’s eyes lit up, highly interested in this battle, “Both Mu Ruxue and Bai Chunfeng are prodigies of the Element Gathering Realm. Their clash is bound to be spectacular.”

After arriving in Divine Wind City, Ye Feng had heard so much about Mu Ruxue being a once-in-a-millennium prodigy with prospects of reaching the Divine Origin Realm that his ears were nearly calloused from it.

Now that he could witness the battle with his own eyes, he naturally focused his entire attention.

At that moment, Mu Ruxue rose into the air and nodded, saying, “This Sword Child accepts your challenge.”

“Thank you, Sword Child,” Bai Chunfeng bowed with his hands together.

In the past, both he and Mu Ruxue had been True Disciples, with nearly similar status.

But now things were different.

Having received the Divine Wind Sword, Mu Ruxue had formally become a revered Sword Child, as well as the Peak Master of Enforcement Peak, holding a status higher than that of a common Inner Sect Elder.

In contrast, Bai Chunfeng was still just a True Disciple, on par with an Outer Sect Elder, nowhere near Mu Ruxue’s stature.

“This battle, I suppose, shall be my last challenge to you… After all, from now on, our disparity will only grow wider,” Bai Chunfeng said with a sense of helplessness and even bitterness.

After becoming the Sword Child, Mu Ruxue was sure to receive preferential access to the sect’s resources for cultivation. Already a prodigy, her advancement in cultivation level would undoubtedly be exceptionally fast.

“Junior Brother, don’t feel burdened. I will let you make three moves, for the first three, I will only defend,” Mu Ruxue said in a cold yet confident voice as she ascended higher into the sky.

“Alright!”

Bai Chunfeng took a deep breath, starting to condense the sword momentum around him.

“As expected of the foremost True Disciple of the Divine Wind Sword Sect, so young yet already at the second layer of the Element Gathering Realm—it’s truly terrifying!”

Heads of various sects marveled at this.

Bai Chunfeng’s sword momentum was too fierce!

Feeling that they wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single strike from Bai Chunfeng in a battle among peers, they wondered just how powerful Sword Child Mu Ruxue was.

The crowd’s anticipation for the battle grew even more.

“Sword Like Soaring Clouds!”

Bai Chunfeng finally made his move.

This was a Third Grade Spell. As he thrust with his sword, a swath of Sword Qi turned into drifting white clouds that vanished in an instant; then, in the very next moment, reappeared beside Mu Ruxue and enveloped her.

“What a powerful strike!”

The guests present exclaimed once more, admitting that if it had been them on the field, they wouldn’t have been able to dodge at all.

Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie both watched intently, learning a great deal.

However, facing this sharp sword move capable of annihilating someone at the third layer of the Element Gathering Realm, Mu Ruxue merely brought her fingers together like a sword and swept downward, erasing the sword clouds as if they had never appeared.

“You have two more moves,” Mu Ruxue spoke softly.

“Such a strong method of transforming the sword!” Bai Chunfeng frowned, finding Mu Ruxue more and more inscrutable.

He had thought that Mu Ruxue would rely on the supreme-grade Spiritual Sword, the Divine Wind Sword, to block the attack, but to his surprise, she simply used a sword gesture to break his “Sword Like Soaring Clouds.”

“The Divine Wind Sword Child is too incredible!”

“It’s like adults fighting children; they’re not on the same level at all, there’s no comparison.”

“Is this the once-in-a-millennium prodigy? Truly well-deserved reputation!”

The heads of the great powers shook their heads continuously, feeling sorry for Bai Chunfeng.

If it weren’t for Mu Ruxue’s emergence, Bai Chunfeng would definitely have been the prodigy who could succeed as the Sword Child. Unfortunately, he encountered the exceedingly abnormal Mu Ruxue.

“The second move, Divine Wind Sword Qi!”

Bai Chunfeng attacked once again.

As he swung his sword, a divine gleam shot across the sky, traversing a kilometer in an instant. In the face of such an Ultimate Fast Sword, an average person couldn’t possibly block it.

But Mu Ruxue suddenly extended two slender and snow-white fingers, easily catching the divine gleam. With a pinch, she caused it to collapse into a shower of colorful light particles.

“You have one last move,” Mu Ruxue said indifferently.

She was confident because she was strong enough.

“I really can’t see through you anymore. Just months ago, I could fight you for three hundred rounds, but now, you completely overpower me,” Bai Chunfeng sighed deeply.

It was his misfortune to encounter a prodigy like Mu Ruxue.

Regaining his focus, Bai Chunfeng launched another sword attack.

A dazzling surge of sword light burst forth, turning into three shadows, all wielding swords to surround Mu Ruxue. Including Bai Chunfeng himself, there were four figures in total!

Upon seeing this, the Elders and disciples of the Divine Wind Sword Sect all stood up in shock.

“It’s the Fifth Grade Magic ‘Sword Momentum Incarnation’!”

“Three incarnations of sword momentum, it means that Brother Bai Chunfeng has reached perfection, he’s too strong!”

“Is this the prowess of the top true disciple?”

The disciples all exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Feng looked at the sword technique used by Bai Chunfeng, and couldn’t help but drool.

“So this is the foundation of a Two-Star Rank Sect, they even have Fifth Grade Magic!” The disciples of the Misty Sect also showed envious looks.

Above in the sky.

Mu Ruxue smiled and said, “Junior brother indeed has talent that’s hard to come by in a century, but unfortunately, you are still lacking a little.”

She still brought her fingers together like a sword, and in an instant, she pointed three times.

Those three incarnations, emitting a presence comparable to the fourth layer of the Element Gathering Realm, instantly collapsed, with no strength left to battle against Mu Ruxue.

“This!” Bai Chunfeng was shocked.

After using the Fifth Grade Magic ‘Sword Momentum Incarnation,’ he was like having three powerful allies, capable of fighting even against those at the fifth layer of the Element Gathering Realm.

But now, Mu Ruxue had easily shattered the sword momentum incarnations, showing an outrageous level of strength.

“This Sword Child has already permitted you three moves, now, it’s time to end this challenge.”

Mu Ruxue spoke, pointing her finger like a sword at Bai Chunfeng.

A divine brilliance flashed across the sky in an instant, stopping three inches in front of Bai Chunfeng’s forehead, radiating a sword intent that caused despair.

“It’s Divine Wind Sword Qi!”

“However, the Sword Child’s sword qi is too fast, even Brother Bai Chunfeng couldn’t react in time.”

The disciples of the Divine Wind Sword Sect trembled in fear.

If they encountered Mu Ruxue, they might not even know how they died, filling their hearts with terror.

In mid-air.

Bai Chunfeng’s expression was frozen.

The moment the Divine Wind Sword Qi struck, he was alert and tried to dodge immediately, but it was still too slow and he couldn’t avoid it in time.

If Mu Ruxue had been intent on killing, he would have been dead already.

“I’ve lost, both convinced and willing to concede.”

Bai Chunfeng sheathed his sword, sighed, and flew away into the distance, no longer in the mood to eat.

“I yield!”

Mu Ruxue bowed her hands and landed in front of the Sect Master’s Grand Hall.

From today onwards, she became a person of very high status within the Divine Wind Sword Sect, second only to a few, and could gradually start taking over the affairs of the sect.

At this moment, the Great Elder flew over from afar, and said in a loud voice, “The challenge is over, thank you, Sword Child, and Bai Chunfeng for giving us a thrilling sparring session. Now, let’s start the feast, everyone enjoy your meal!”

“Finally, we can eat!”

“I’m about to faint from hunger.”

“Watch your image!”

As soon as it was announced that they could eat, everyone began moving.

With the Divine Wind Sword on her back, Mu Ruxue, accompanied by four maids and dozens of elders, walked around the various seats holding a cup of Spiritual Wine.

“Allow me to introduce to everyone a very special guest, the Commandery Princess from County King City.” Standing in front of the County King City’s table, Mu Ruxue pointed to the masked woman and introduced her to the surrounding guests.

The Commandery Princess stood up, nodded to everyone, then sat down again.

Mo Ying, sitting opposite Ye Feng, lowered her head.

Just now, she distinctly saw the Commandery Princess wink at her, instantly recognizing her.

“So it turns out that Shu Hongyu has been promoted to Commandery Princess.” Mo Ying sipped her tea, inwardly astonished.

The feast proceeded without any hitches.

Afternoon.

Everyone had their fill and began to leave one after another.

“Yun Jie, my friend, this is where we part ways,” Lin Yuyan from the Yunhua Sect specifically came over to greet Huo Yunjie.

“This must be Sect Master Ye from the Misty Sect, indeed young and promising,” Yunhua Zhenren from Yunhua Sect greeted Ye Feng with a bow, his eyes full of respect.

Upon hearing the news of Ye Feng’s single stroke defeat of Souhun Zhenren, Yunhua Zhenren had been eager to find an opportunity to visit, but worldly matters kept him, until today when he was finally fortunate to see Ye Feng.

“It’s an honor to meet Yunhua Zhenren!”

Ye Feng exchanged a few polite words with Yunhua Zhenren, promising to visit Yunhua Sect soon, delighting Yunhua Zhenren who promptly expressed a warm welcome.

Unlike Yunhua Sect, people from Qingyun Sect in the distance were looking at Ye Feng with cold eyes, showing no friendliness.

Ye Feng lightly waved his feather fan, not bothering to pay attention to the people from Qingyun Sect.

Seeing his indifferent demeanor, Xiao Fangu clenched his fists in anger.

“Let’s go, back to the sect!”

Ye Feng still needed to take Long Tianxing to the Dragonfolk Clan’s ancestral lands, and couldn’t linger any longer in Divine Wind Sect.

Before long.

A group of people sat on the back of the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle and set off on their return trip to Misty Peak.
