Chapter 49

"Big Brother, something terrible has happened!"

"Is Big Brother here?"

Outside Ling Dao's room, the voices of outer disciples echoed. They naturally knew about the events at the training ground. The only one who could restore the face of the Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect was Ling Dao, the top outer disciple.

"What happened?"

The door opened, and Ling Dao, dressed in a white robe, walked out. Over this period, he had been cultivating the Savage Extermination Technique. Now, he had reached the peak of the Corporeal Body Realm, much stronger than he was half a month ago.

"Big Brother, the True Martial Sword Sect and the Black Tortoise Sword Sect..."

An outer disciple quickly recounted the events at the training ground. The True Martial Sword Sect and the Black Tortoise Sword Sect claimed they came to spar with the Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect disciples, but in reality, they were just humiliating them.

"Let's go to the training ground quickly!"

"Alright!"

As a Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect disciple, Ling Dao naturally could not allow disciples from other sects to bully his own sect's disciples. When Ling Dao said he was going to the training ground, these outer disciples were visibly shaken; their Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect was finally saved.

The disciples the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and the True Martial Sword Sect brought were all at the Corporeal Body Realm, clearly just for outer disciples to spar. Even if the inner disciples of the Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect were angry, they couldn't intervene, as their realms were too high.

...

"You guys are too arrogant! Wait until Big Brother comes, he will definitely defeat you. It's only because Big Brother isn't here that you can act so recklessly!"

"Exactly, our Big Brother is much stronger than us. If he were here, you wouldn't be worth mentioning!"

At the training ground, the outer disciples of the Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect were all furious, but they couldn't do anything to the disciples of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and the True Martial Sword Sect. Their only hope now was Ling Dao.

In the outer disciples' competition, Ling Dao stood out and became the top outer disciple, naturally becoming everyone's Big Brother. Now, the outer disciples of the Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect had been swept away by the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and the True Martial Sword Sect.

"What kind of Big Brother? The strongest among a bunch of废物 (waste) is still a waste. What do you have to fight us with?"

"Your Big Brother is probably too scared to come. Otherwise, why hasn't he shown up yet?"

Ling Dao had just arrived at the training ground and heard these words from the disciples of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and the True Martial Sword Sect. He had only come to help the other Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect disciples, but he didn't expect the disciples of the True Martial Sword Sect and the Black Tortoise Sword Sect to target him.

"Big Brother?"

"Big Brother is here!"

"Great!"

Whether it was the injured disciples or the onlookers, they all showed great excitement. Originally, many people didn't acknowledge Ling Dao, but at this moment, Ling Dao still stepped forward, earning the respect of many outer disciples.

"You are the Big Brother they talk about? You don't look like much!"

Ke Zhenan said sarcastically. Li Shengxiong was at least very tall and strong, while Ling Dao, apart from his handsome appearance, was not particularly robust, even somewhat thin. Ke Zhenan had already defeated a batch of outer disciples of the Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect and was at the peak of his momentum, not taking Ling Dao seriously at all.

"Ling Dao, if you can't win, don't speak up. At least you can preserve your reputation. His strength is much greater than Li Shengxiong's. Do you have any confidence?"

An elder of the Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect walked to Ling Dao's side. The first part of his words was very soft, but the latter part was louder. He had already seen Ke Zhenan's strength, and with the strength Ling Dao showed half a month ago, he was no match for Ke Zhenan.

Unfortunately, this elder didn't know that Ling Dao hadn't shown his full strength half a month ago. Moreover, in half a month, Ling Dao had reached the peak of the Corporeal Body Realm, much stronger than he was half a month ago.

Ling Dao slowly extended one finger, which made the elder and other Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect disciples change their expressions. If Ling Dao only had a one in ten chance, then the Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect had no hope of turning the tide.

The elder sighed. Over the years, the disciples of the Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect had been bullied by the disciples of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and the True Martial Sword Sect. It seemed that this year would be no different. If even Ling Dao couldn't defeat Ke Zhenan, no one else could.

"Hahaha, this is your so-called Big Brother? Hilarious!"

Ke Zhenan laughed loudly, and the disciples of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and the True Martial Sword Sect also laughed. They never expected that the outer disciples' Big Brother of the Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect would be so weak, admitting he only had a one in ten chance before even fighting.

"My point is, it will only take one sword to deal with you!"

Ling Dao didn't care about the ridicule from the disciples of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and the True Martial Sword Sect. Soon, they would stop laughing. Indeed, as soon as Ling Dao finished speaking, the smiles on their faces froze.

"Arrogant!"

Ke Zhenan roared in anger. Ling Dao was simply not taking him seriously. Even the disciples of the Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect were stunned. Even if they had confidence in Ling Dao, he shouldn't say such arrogant words, right?

"Less talk, show me your sword first!"

Everyone felt a loud boom, followed by a lightning bolt slicing through the sky. If Xie Ling'er's sword was already fast, then Ling Dao's sword was truly invisible and formless, at least to Corporeal Body Realm martial artists.

Before Ke Zhenan could even draw his sword, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Ling Dao's sword had already pierced his chest, and blood gushed out. Ke Zhenan looked at Ling Dao in disbelief. Was he defeated so easily?

"Since you didn't kill my junior, I'll spare your life. Otherwise, you would already be dead!"

Ling Dao pulled out his long sword, with a few drops of blood on the tip. Ke Zhenan laughed bitterly, then clutched his chest and fell to the ground. Disciples of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect immediately ran to his side to bandage his wound.

The entire training ground was unusually quiet. Ling Dao's sword was so fast that Ke Zhenan didn't even have time to draw his sword before being hit. Even Xie Ling'er was extremely shocked. Ling Dao's sword speed was faster than hers, and much faster.

"Is this the Big Brother of the outer disciples of the Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect?"

"How can he be so strong? How fast was that sword?"

The disciples of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and the True Martial Sword Sect were dumbfounded. Ke Zhenan was ranked third among the outer disciples of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect. Even the first rank couldn't defeat him with one sword. This was too unbelievable.

"Who else has hurt our Sky-Cleaving Sword Sect disciples? Step forward!"

Ling Dao held his sword, pointing it at all the disciples of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and the True Martial Sword Sect. One man with one sword, surpassing a thousand troops, his presence overshadowed everyone on the field!
