203: Chapter 203: This sword is invincible! One sword defeats a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Even if he temporarily couldn't recall his Natal Flying Sword, 'Time,' Pang Yuanji's own sword dao was still top-tier!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of sharp flashes of sword light had already streaked across the stone steps leading up to the city wall!

The figures of Yang Simu and Pang Yuanji flew rapidly, their Sword Qi constantly colliding!

Cultivators below the Golden Core Stage could only see the lingering traces of sword light left by their strikes; they couldn't even make out their physical forms!

Suddenly, Pang Yuanji seized an opportunity, stomping heavily on a step. Moving as fast as lightning, he appeared at Yang Simu's side!

A brilliantly dazzling strand of Sword Qi streaked directly toward Yang Simu's head!

Yang Simu's expression remained unchanged as he swiftly swung his sword!

A mountain peak materialized out of thin air once again!

The Sword Intent on Pang Yuanji's body surged rapidly as he cleaved through the mountain before him, his momentum undiminished!

Seeing this, Yang Simu's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

The next moment, a majestic and vast Ancient Sword Intent rose from his body!

In an instant, the Sword Qi on this section of the Great Wall of Sword Qi began to boil, surging toward Yang Simu!

Upon seeing this scene, both Pang Yuanji, who was facing him, and the Sword Cultivators watching from a distance all underwent a simultaneous change in expression!

Yang Simu held Thunder Sky in his left hand and Mountain and Sea in his right, swinging both swords down at once!

"Rumble!"

A river of Sword Qi, entwined with purple lightning as thick as an arm, descended from the sky!

Right at that moment, Pang Yuanji's Natal Flying Sword broke free from its restraint and rushed over!

A river of Sword Qi spanned across the space in front of Pang Yuanji. At the same time, he performed several of his most proficient sword dao Divine Abilities, desperately trying to withstand the sword strike falling from the heavens!

However, the river of Sword Qi gathered by 'Time' shattered instantly, and the sword light Pang Yuanji had swung was immediately extinguished!

"Boom!"

The waterfall of Sword Qi fell and the purple lightning crashed down, submerging Pang Yuanji's entire body within it!

Seeing this scene, several Upper Five Realms Sword Cultivators on the city wall almost couldn't resist stepping in to save him.

After all, Pang Yuanji was a local Sword Cultivator of the Great Wall of Sword Qi; he could die in battle on the southern front, but he absolutely could not die within the city!

However, when those Upper Five Realms Sword Cultivators who had intended to intervene saw a little girl with twin pigtails who had appeared on the wall at some unknown point...

The appearance of this Hidden Official caused an immediate silence to fall over the city wall!

The Hidden Official's reputation for having the "best temper and never hitting anyone" was famous throughout the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Pang Yuanji was not only part of the Hidden Official lineage, but also half a Disciple to Hidden Official Xiao Mao.

If anyone were to intervene, it should be this Hidden Official.

But if she didn't act, it naturally wouldn't be appropriate for others to do so.

At this moment, the little girl with twin pigtails standing on the wall was merely holding her pigtails with both hands, skipping around and smiling with narrowed eyes, showing no intention of intervening.

Thus, Pang Yuanji was forced to endure the full brunt of the river of Sword Qi and the scouring of the purple lightning!

A moment later, the Sword Qi subsided. Pang Yuanji was already kneeling on one knee, his face deathly pale, with a large pool of blood before him.

"I... I lose."

He uttered those words weakly, then slowly stood up and staggered down from the city wall.

Yang Simu's expression was as calm as ever as he sheathed his swords.

Regarding Pang Yuanji, Yang Simu didn't exactly dislike him; he even felt a bit of pity for him.

After all, who told Pang Yuanji to be the Hidden Official's Disciple?

Yang Simu continued his ascent up the steps!

The second Sword Cultivator blocking his path was a somewhat elderly Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!

The old man, whose hair was graying at the temples, glanced at Yang Simu and said with a touch of emotion:

"Kid, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for over a year, you would already be in the same realm as me!"

Seeing this old man, Yang Simu couldn't help but grin. "Senior Nie, were those two dragon-slaying stones you traded from me back then useful?"

"Now that I'm back, I've prepared some more, but the quantity is limited. I'm not sure who to give them to?"

Hearing this, the old Nascent Soul Stage Sword Cultivator named Nie Yuanliang couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.

During a battle outside the city back then, the old man had intended to risk his life to block a strike from an Upper Five Realms Yao Race Sword Cultivator, all to buy time for Yang Simu and the others to escape.

However, Yang Simu had been protected by the Golden Armored Deity at the time, which was what had stopped the old man.

Nie Yuanliang gave a cold snort and said, "Heh, past friendship is one thing!"

"But in the upcoming Sword Inquiry, I will not show any mercy!"

"If you want to reach the top of the wall today, you must defeat me!"

"If you lose, kid, then stay obediently in the city, and I'll treat you to a drink!"

As his voice fell, this Nascent Soul Stage Sword Cultivator instantly soared into the air and swung his sword down at Yang Simu!

Sword Qi swept across the sky, causing the very space to emit a whistling sound!

Compared to Pang Yuanji's unpredictable Sword Intent, Nie Yuanliang's Sword Intent was bold and straightforward, and his Sword Qi was focused entirely on slaughter!

Since reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, Nie Yuanliang had spent an unknown amount of time fighting on the southern battlefield. He had slain countless members of the Wilderness Demon Clan, making his sword momentum naturally even more torrential!

Yang Simu's expression remained unchanged as he easily sidestepped the attack.

Having missed his strike, Nie Yuanliang followed up with several more consecutive sword swings, each faster than the last!

Yang Simu still dodged them all!

Nie Yuanliang couldn't help but curse, "Kid, why haven't you drawn your sword yet!"

"If you don't bring out your full strength, then you're looking down on me, Nie Yuanliang!"

Because he had the word 'Liang' in his name, many people in the Great Wall of Sword Qi compared him to that A Liang who had already ascended to the Qingming World.

They would say things like, "That son of a bitch A Liang already carved his name on the wall, so why are you, Old Liang, still in the Nascent Soul Stage?"

Such words were even more painful than a physical blow to the heart!

So, seeing that Yang Simu had not yet drawn his sword, Nie Yuanliang naturally felt a surge of indignation!

Hearing Nie Yuanliang's words, Yang Simu couldn't help but sigh.

"Senior, I originally wanted to let you show off for a bit longer, but why are you in such a hurry to step down?" he thought helplessly.

The next moment.

Yang Simu's pupils suddenly turned golden!

Instantly, behind him, a golden-bodied deity sitting high within a great hall appeared, holding a massive golden sword and looking down upon the mortal world!

With a wave of Yang Simu's hand, the golden-bodied deity swung its sword down accordingly!

"Boom!"

A white light of Sword Qi spanned across the sky!

This battle-hardened old Nascent Soul Stage Sword Cultivator found that whether he summoned his Natal Flying Sword or displayed his sword Divine Abilities, they were all instantly crushed!

Nie Yuanliang was immediately knocked back to the ground, sliding a hundred meters away!

His face turned slightly pale, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

The long sword in the Nascent Soul Stage Sword Cultivator's hand, as well as the Natal Flying Sword circling him, both emitted a trembling sound.

They seemed to be saying that this sword was invincible!

"Senior, you were the one who told me to go all out!" Yang Simu retracted the Nascent Soul behind him and smiled with a bit of embarrassment.

To be honest, he himself hadn't expected this sword strike to be so powerful!

Defeating a Nascent Soul with one strike!

Nie Yuanliang's expression was somewhat unsightly.

He didn't say much, only gave a light snort before flying away from the city wall.

It wasn't until this moment that the many Sword Cultivators on the wall finally reacted, and the place instantly erupted into a commotion!
