Chapter 917: Chapter 417: The Name Broken Sword—The Lady Speaks Plainly: You Are Old, and Martial Arts Has No Summit!

"The elders are quite skilled, their abilities have surpassed what my friend could comprehend. She couldn’t see the depth of it during the fierce clash, and thus only relayed to me the situation at the time. Regarding the specifics of the Martial Arts duel, she couldn’t explain it at all. She only saw that the elder arrived quickly and left quickly as well. In the instant of drawing a sword, his wrist was already held. With a gentle twist, the wrist bone shattered. His palm lost its strength, and the sword was taken away."

"Turning her head, she saw that the woman was gently stroking the treasure sword, already seated back in the main seat. Her posture was graceful, and she carried herself with extraordinary aura, saying: ’With such skills, you dare make a fool of yourself before me. But the sword isn’t bad, I’ll return it to you.’ With a casual toss, the sword flew out, nailing the elder instantly and sending him flying."

"Subsequently, a female elder from the Lake Mountain Sword Sect immediately engaged her Martial Arts against the enemy. At that moment, although the sword sect elders realized how formidable the woman was, they were still unwilling to join forces to encircle and kill her. This female elder of the sword sect was very strong, recognized as a powerful force, and was quite old and experienced. Yet the woman seemed completely unaware, just sitting in her place, leisurely sipping tea."

"In such a move, it was Ke Jianan who became worried about her safety, secretly mustering his Inner Qi, in case the woman’s life was in danger, he would cast a spell to save her. After all, before leaving the Sword Alliance, it had been decided that no harm would come to her."

"But as the female elder approached from behind, she swung her sword to cut down. Straight at the woman’s neck, and yet the woman didn’t avoid it in the slightest, still leisurely drinking tea. However, the female elder’s sword, just as it was close to the woman’s neck, stopped!"

Bai Caiwei said: "Did the elder stop her hand in time?" Huang A-xia said: "Not at all! It was stopped by a strand of hair!"

"My friend, born with exceptional vision, was very focused at the time and could see things clearly. When the female elder slashed with her sword, she had no intention of holding back. Even if there was a building or a big ship in front of the sword, it would certainly be cut into two. Yet, the treasure sword and the white jade-like neck were separated only by a strand of black hair, unassuming but completely effective in defense. My friend may not have understood the battle."

"But her sight and hearing were not shallow. This matter was like stopping the rushing Yangtze River with a mere thread! The more she thought about it, the more she was terrified, and the more she thought about it, it was bound to be a nightmare. My friend saw clearly that the female elder of the Lake Mountain Sword Sect had goosebumps all over her neck, and a few cold sweats immediately appeared."

Everyone gasped in surprise. Yao Yin said: "In such a vast world, there are countless extraordinary people! A mere fraction makes a world of difference!"

Huang A-xia said: "Ke Jianan also looked frightened. It had reached a point where it was hard to withdraw. The female elder was certain to be in mortal danger in an instant. Another elder, disregarding everything else, also displayed incredibly advanced Martial Arts to attack. Unfortunately, the transformation of Martial Arts was such that my friend couldn’t grasp the essentials. Words failed to describe the shock at the time."

"The woman glanced sideways, and somehow, an overwhelmingly strong force pushed the elder flying. At this time, several elders surrounded her to save the female elder."

"The woman still remained motionless, allowing the blades and swords to approach her. No matter how fierce each sword stroke was, how threatening, the moment it touched her skin or clothing, it immediately dissipated into nothingness!"

The crowd was also bewildered, Yao Yin couldn’t help but ask: "What kind of Martial Arts is this? Such a marvel? If it were ordinary blades and swords, I could also protect myself with self-defense Martial Arts. But the elders of the sword sect, how formidable their Sword Dao is, how sharp their swords are, and how profound the mystery hidden in each move is. How could such a defense be so easily put up?"

Li Xian also thought: "Although I have sparred with the madam several times, she has never used her full strength. I am also unaware of such a self-defense Martial Arts."

Huang A-xia said: "What kind of Martial Arts? Haha, you think it’s simple, who says it’s just one Martial Arts? The elders attacked her together, yet not a single sword could harm the woman in the slightest. Afterwards... the elders were puzzled and gathered to discuss the matter. Although they couldn’t fathom it, they knew that the sensation of each sword being deflected was entirely different. The woman switched her self-defense Martial Arts for each sword defense! When they figured it out, they were terrified and returned to their sect overnight."

"But at the time of the skirmish, no one thought too much. They only saw that the woman was quietly sipping tea, and after finishing, she flicked her sleeve, sending everyone flying and said: ’Five Mountains Sword Alliance, you have always been discourteous. I have tolerated as much as I can, since I am easy to bully, then leave your lives here.’"

"At that time, the elders still harbored a sliver of luck, thinking perhaps this woman was exceptionally skilled in self-defense Martial Arts, but not necessarily strong in lethal force. But the woman performed a palm technique, the movement was subtle, yet the elders all retreated a few steps, with grave expressions. The palm hadn’t even struck, yet it seemed difficult to handle. Ke Jianan could no longer sit still and intervened, saying: ’Madam, please wait, please wait!’"

"Seeing that the woman had no intention of stopping, Ke Jianan shouted: ’You all, quickly apologize! Even if the madam is unwilling to relinquish the Jade Dragon, virtue should remain when a deal fails. By striking like this, you’re no better than robbers, isn’t this tarnishing our Sword Alliance’s reputation?’ The elders had grim expressions and had no choice but to lower their heads in apology."

"The woman said: ’Since you know your mistake, then please break your swords to atone.’ The elders looked at each other, their expressions unpleasant, and wished to fight again. The Five Mountains Sword Alliance, sword sect elders, carried their swords more precious than life, preferring death over breaking them! But on second thought, this woman was so formidable, unfathomably deep, while fighting to the death would be brave, ultimately they would end up dead with broken swords. Though, voluntarily breaking their own swords felt extremely humiliating."

"Ke Jianan said: ’Honorable elders, since you know the fault is yours, please quickly break your swords.’ Eventually, the elders broke their own swords with heavy hearts and withdrew from the scene. As they were leaving, the woman gently remarked: ’If the Old Sword Master truly wishes for the Jade Dragon, have him come find me personally to discuss the matter.’"
