I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 262: Chapter 229: Jiang Yuebai vs. Xie Jingshan

The sun blazed like fire at the battlefield in the city.

Xie Jingshan casually swung his sword, repelling his opponent, who conceded defeat and left tearfully.

Xie Jingshan stood absent-mindedly on the stage, no longer caring whether his opponent lost because his grandfather bought their defeat or because he won.

”Sigh... How should I apologize so that Jiang Yuebai won’t be angry with me? Asking her to beat me up, she wouldn’t...”

A figure in white steps onto the stage, carrying an Evil Wind Saber, her brows fierce, radiating killing intent.

Xie Jingshan shuddered suddenly, exclaiming, ”Jiang Yuebai!”

The air around froze; everyone turned toward the stage. Xie Jingshan hurriedly covered his mouth.

”She is Jiang Yuebai, indeed, as sensational as the rumors say.”

”She is a popular figure in this Wind and Cloud Meeting, though she might fall short of winning the championship, her strength among the new talents is top-notch.”

”Finally found her, quickly, quickly, take out the Memory Jade and record her battle method; surely many would want to buy it.”

A crowd surged forward, all holding up their Memory Jade, jostling for position.

Jiang Yuebai’s face remained cold as Xie Jingshan felt calamity approaching, and swallowed hard.

”You wouldn’t want to beat me in public for revenge, would you? With so many people here, please give me some face, don’t... don’t... don’t hit my face, okay?”

Xie Jingshan pleaded with a mournful face as Jiang Yuebai slowly drew the Evil Wind Saber expressionless.

”Draw your sword!”

The tone was indifferent, devoid of emotional fluctuations.

Xie Jingshan shuddered all over; was she serious?

Could he concede?

No, no, his father said whether men or women are irrational in anger and that’s normal to say hurtful words or do hurtful things.

Everyone has emotions; losing your temper is not wrong.

Only by venting anger can a matter be resolved without lingering grudges; avoidance is cold violence that only harms more.

His father angered his mother, always proactively handing over the cane...

Alright, it’s all because of his mouth; he deserved a beating!

Xie Jingshan trembled as he gripped the sword hilt, cautiously watching Jiang Yuebai.

”I... I will resist with all my strength!”

”Make your move!”

At the word, Jiang Yuebai’s aura erupted, slicing out an earth-yellow Sword Aura.

Xie Jingshan drew his sword to meet the attack, red and yellow lights fiercely collided in the air, scattering and disappearing.

Jiang Yuebai frowned, her body flickered creating afterimages, the saber danced like silver snakes, slashing out with roaring sand waves, fiercer than ever.

Xie Jingshan stared in horror, ”You really mean it!!”

”Make your move!!”

Jiang Yuebai shouted, Xie Jingshan instinctively retreated but gritted his teeth to steady his stance, his eyes igniting with battle spirit. The Huo Dou Sword instantly unleashed Sword Shadow Splitting Light, stacking layer upon layer.

Fiery red waves surged with unparalleled might against Jiang Yuebai’s sand storm Saber Aura once again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The airwaves swept violently, hitting surrounding barriers around the stage, swords and sabers clashing in mid-air, sparks flying.

Below the stage, more and more people were drawn by the sound, watching the two display their techniques, figures intersecting swiftly like a stunning phoenix, fighting fiercely.

”Amazing! This Young Master Xie was thought to be useless, but unexpectedly he can fight Jiang Yuebai without falling behind, truly unexpected.”

”Yes, I heard Young Master Xie ranked in the top five among young prodigies in the Heavenly Interence Sect, and I thought it was bought by the Mountain and Sea Building, but it seems he indeed has talent.”

Boom!

On stage, the two clashed again before retreating separately, Jiang Yuebai slightly pale, Xie Jingshan panting heavily.

This encounter placed immense pressure on Xie Jingshan, Jiang Yuebai’s attacks were fierce and swift, person and saber united, flawless without openings.

When did she become this strong?

”Xie Jingshan, is this all you’ve got?” Jiang Yuebai asked sternly, ”If that’s the case, get off the stage!”

As the words fell, the saber’s hum echoed, the stage ground trembled violently, invisible sound waves instantly transformed into a hundred sand Saber Shadows, fan-like in front of Jiang Yuebai spreading terrifying atmosphere like a sandstorm assault.

Nervous tension filled the air as spectators below the stage held their breath.

Xie Jingshan gnawed his teeth, unwilling to accept defeat, his aura climbing steadily to its peak, the Huo Dou Sword in his hand erupted fiercely with Fiery Flame Sword Aura.

”Heaven Burning, one sword!”

Like wind chasing clouds, the breeze amplifying the fire.

The Huo Dou Sword blasted out a dazzling flame, forming a giant flaming dog in the air, roaring fiercely.

Boom!

The flaming dog crashed into the Saber Shadow sandstorm, both forces collided fiercely, light and shadow clashed, emitting a harsh anomaly.

Jiang Yuebai’s lips twitched but quickly pressed down, ’Unaware’, suddenly struck by a Sword Aura flame, her whole body flew backward off the stage.

A boiling uproar turned instantaneously silent.

Jiang Yuebai... lost?!

On the stage, the airwaves swept wide, fire gradually dissipated, Xie Jingshan looked at Jiang Yuebai lying below the stage, blood on her lips, mouth agape in disbelief.

Had he won?

Xie Jingshan rubbed his eyes and glanced again; Jiang Yuebai was still there; he secretly pinched his thigh.

Pain! Not a dream!

Jiang Yuebai stood up from the ground, wiped the blood from her mouth, face full of ’anger’.

”Xie Jingshan, in front of everyone, you showed no face to me at all; today I... I haven’t exerted all my strength, you... don’t get too arrogant!”

Jiang Yuebai finished speaking with obvious lack of confidence, glaring at those around holding Memory Jade, she picked up her saber and left.

Onlookers exchanged glances.

”This Jiang Yuebai seems... mediocre, nothing eye-catching, not as powerful as rumors suggest.”

”She seems a bit spoiled, having the temperament of a young lady.”

”She’s still Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, yet couldn’t win against a Early-Stage Foundation Establishment sword cultivator like Young Master Xie, rumors can’t be fully trusted.”

”Perhaps she really didn’t try her best as she claimed; today she used nothing but her saber, and looks so beautiful, surely wouldn’t lie.”

”Oh come on, looking good can’t fill your stomach, I think today instead Young Master Xie surprised everyone, previously underestimated too much.”

”He’s not just a dandy relying on family, he has some capability.”

The crowd engaged in conversations, all expressing disappointment with Jiang Yuebai, surprised by Xie Jingshan’s display.

Amidst the crowd, Fang Mingyi and his elder brother were drawn to the spectacle, seeing the current outcome, Fang Mingyi’s eyes flickered with astonishment.

Especially the moment when Xie Jingshan’s sword technique on the stage showed momentum, greatly shocking him.

He always thought Xie Jingshan was a soft, useless squanderer.

Fang Mingli pondered deeply for a moment and said solemnly, ”The rumors of Xie Jingshan being a Sword Immortal Reincarnation at this moment seem somewhat believable, he indeed has real talent in the Sword Dao.”

”Mingyi, from now on you should avoid seeking trouble with him, if provoked enough to fight recklessly, even if you have Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, you can’t compete.”

Fang Mingyi clenched his fists with a cold snort, ”Can he dream of defeating me, maybe in his next life!”

Saying so, Fang Mingyi shook his sleeves and left.

Fang Mingli shook his head with a sigh, ”Wine and women ruin people, foundations depleted, yet unaware.”

On stage, Xie Jingshan continued to stare blankly at his sword, the words of recognition from those around drifted into his ears, heating his heart with emotion, his nose felt sore.

He felt a joy of a childhood dream finally realized; he had beaten Jiang Yuebai, he truly won against her.

The satisfaction made his blood boil, gradually swelling, feeling as if he could knock down ten Jiang Yuebais right now.

”Hehe, hehehe...”

Xie Jingshan laughed like a fool, as he sheathed his sword, he glanced down and saw a corner of white paper peeking out from his clothes, he pulled it out to see.

[I want lotus leaf rice and sweet rice dumplings, delivered to Dengtong Lane by dusk (angry face) — Jiang Yuebai]

When did this get into his clothes?

He hadn’t noticed at all, if she put a paper, she could have stabbed him...

Crack!

A bolt from the blue!

Xie Jingshan felt numb from head to toe.

Win?

Absolute nonsense!

Jiang Yuebai, you are my Xie Jingshan’s lifelong adversary!!
