Chapter 2237: Chapter 2235: Killing Sword Sect’s Third Disciple

The Cheng Ying Sword is known for having the fastest Sword Qi among the ten ancient Divine Swords. When Princess Zi Xuan wielded the Cheng Ying Sword to unleash her Sword Qi, none of the martial artists around could even see it, showing just how fast this Sword Qi truly was. It was so fast that even the arrogant and confident Third Son of the Sword Sect couldn’t evade and was split in two!

However, just as Princess Zi Xuan took advantage of her momentum to attempt to eliminate the Third Son of the Sword Sect, the Sword Sect’s eldest son and Sword Sect’s Two Sons moved quickly, immediately brandishing their swords and charging at Princess Zi Xuan!

Princess Zi Xuan managed only to destroy the lower half of the Third Son’s body, while the upper half escaped, preventing her from completely eradicating him. Blocked by the Sword Sect’s eldest and second sons, Princess Zi Xuan could only wield the Cheng Ying Sword to continue the massacre. Unconsciously, perhaps even unbeknownst to Princess Zi Xuan, at the beginning, the Third Son of the Sword Sect could match her in battle or even suppress her combat power slightly. However, now she was fighting the Sword Sect’s eldest and second sons alone without falling behind, which was truly astonishing!

Nearly all inheritances from the Northern State Territory surfaced around this area. However, some hid in midair, concealed within dark clouds, without revealing themselves. They weren’t afraid of being seen by Princess Zi Xuan and holding a grudge for future retaliation; rather, they didn’t want other inheriting factions to know precisely who had arrived from their Sects. They planned to act unexpectedly. Until now, no inheritance had made a crazed move because, after all, the once-mighty Flying Flower Zen Temple was considered the strongest inheritance in the Northern State Territory, even if Sang Qing was no longer around. Perhaps he left behind some lethal maneuvers, thus warranting caution from other inheritances. None wished to take such a risk, as caution leads to longevity!

"Princess Zi Xuan has been chosen as the new Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple. Although she may not be the most talented in the Northern State Territory, or even within the Flying Flower Zen Temple, Sang Qing chose her as the Sect Leader, and it seems he made the right choice!"

"Why say that? In the martial artist’s world, having enough strength is the ultimate guarantee; talent alone is not enough!"

"Then let me ask you, as a Sect Leader of an inheritance, what is the most important thing?"

"Of course, it is having a sufficiently high Cultivation Realm and strong combat power. Without powerful strength, it is impossible to intimidate others within the inheritance or hold off invading enemies!"

"Although these words aren’t wrong, they are rather shallow!"

"Why?"

"As a Sect Leader of an inheritance, the first thing to consider is how to preserve your inheritance from being annihilated by other forces. Next is to ensure internal unity and harmony to avoid major disturbances, and finally, to continuously improve your Cultivation Realm and combat power. Because if only your own strength is formidable, all you can do is roam the world. In the martial arts world, there are no examples of becoming an Immortal. Once you pass away, like Sang Qing, can your inheritance still survive? Only when the strength of the entire inheritance improves can it endure for a long time!"

A conversation between a young martial artist and an elder martial artist reveals insights into managing a Sect. It seems Sang Qing had a unique perspective when he designated Princess Zi Xuan as the Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple upon his passing. He recognized Princess Zi Xuan’s emotional ties to the temple and her willingness to defend it to the death. Moreover, she has enormous potential that has not yet been fully unleashed. This potential being activated allowed her to single-handedly fight against the Sword Sect’s eldest and second sons, displaying incredibly formidable combat strength!

Swoosh!

A Sword Qi, reaching an extreme speed, sliced towards the Sword Sect’s eldest and second sons, forcing them to retreat a few steps. Princess Zi Xuan took a momentary sigh of relief, feeling her inner Martial Arts True Qi unable to sustain any longer. Looking at the Cheng Ying Sword in her hand, she realized it was growing heavier, and she was starting to struggle to wield it, a sign that her inner Martial Arts True Qi was faltering!

"Brother, second brother, let me kill this woman!" The Third Son of the Sword Sect had already swiftly repaired his body and immediately charged at Princess Zi Xuan!

In the heart of the Third Son of the Sword Sect, he wished to completely devastate Princess Zi Xuan, turning her into a mere blood mist. From the beginning, he believed Princess Zi Xuan was only at an early-stage Martial Saint level. Although his own Cultivation Realm was also at the Early-stage Martial Saint, years of secluded cultivation had allowed his skills in swordsmanship divine skills to surpass the combat power of an early-stage Martial Saint. Thus, he boasted that he could make Princess Zi Xuan vanish in ten moves. However, not only did she survive past ten moves, but she also had him fleeing and begging for help, a situation he found humiliating and sought revenge!

"Third brother, come back!" The Sword Sect’s eldest son hadn’t anticipated his younger brother’s impulsive charge towards Princess Zi Xuan, and hastily called out to stop him.

"Be careful, third brother!" The second son exclaimed in continued warning.

The Third Son turned back to face his elder brothers and said, "Don’t worry, I am determined to kill this woman, and I will not show mercy again!"

Thud!

Unexpectedly, just as the Third Son of Sword Sect finished speaking, before he could charge towards Princess Zi Xuan, an invisible Sword Qi reached an unimaginable speed, directly slicing the Third Son of Sword Sect, cutting him into two halves!

"Ah..." The Third Son of Sword Sect screamed in agony, his heart in shambles, never expecting he would be sliced in half before even reaching Princess Zi Xuan!

The Third Son of Sword Sect was terrified and fearful, yet also defiant and resentful, because he never anticipated that after rapidly repairing his body and boosting his combat strength to the highest level to charge at Princess Zi Xuan, he would be sliced in half by Sword Qi before even reaching her, while simultaneously feeling the eruption of Princess Zi Xuan’s immense potential, realizing her fighting prowess now couldn’t be compared to their earlier battle, leaving him utterly shocked!

Bang!

Princess Zi Xuan would definitely not show mercy, she leaped up directly, charging towards the Third Son of Sword Sect who hadn’t yet reacted, and by the time Third Son realized, Princess Zi Xuan had already grabbed his head, with Cheng Ying Sword resting against his neck, as Sword Sect’s eldest son and second son arrived, yet they dared not act rashly, fearing their impulsive actions could lead to their third brother’s immediate demise!

"Stop, don’t harm my third brother!" Sword Sect’s eldest son said fiercely, glaring at Princess Zi Xuan.

"Release my third brother, or you will be annihilated!" Sword Sect’s second son also threatened Princess Zi Xuan.

Princess Zi Xuan, holding onto the head of the Third Son of Sword Sect with her left hand, Cheng Ying Sword pressed against his neck with her right hand, coldly said to Sword Sect’s eldest and second sons: "You three brothers want to wipe out Flying Flower Zen Temple’s legacy, how could I be courteous?"

"If you dare harm my third brother, Flying Flower Zen Temple’s legacy can’t be preserved, and you will surely die!" Sword Sect’s eldest son said through gritted teeth.

"If I don’t kill him, you still won’t spare Flying Flower Zen Temple, might as well kill him and lessen one enemy!" Princess Zi Xuan said coldly.

"You dare..." Sword Sect’s second son hadn’t finished speaking when a splatter of blood surged, and the Third Son of Sword Sect’s head was severed.

Puff!

A splatter of blood surged, as the Third Son of Sword Sect still feared death, and let out another scream as his head was severed by Princess Zi Xuan, who held his head and retreated, the Sword Qi from Cheng Ying Sword in her right hand enveloping the Third Son’s head, with the slightest movement guaranteeing his head would be shattered and spirit extinguished!

Princess Zi Xuan retreated with the Third Son’s head, while Sword Sect’s eldest and second sons advanced, yet dared not act because Princess Zi Xuan’s gaze was filled with murderous intent; if they dared to charge, the Third Son’s head would surely be pulverized by Cheng Ying Sword’s Sword Qi.

"No, don’t kill me, don’t kill me!" The Third Son of Sword Sect was also gripped by fear, for he felt Princess Zi Xuan’s murderous intent wasn’t a bluff, she truly intended to kill him, truly dared to kill him!

"Not kill you? Can Flying Flower Zen Temple’s legacy be preserved? Since it can’t be, might as well annihilate you!" Princess Zi Xuan said coldly.

Crash!

Blood dripped down, and in the terrified eyes of the Third Son of Sword Sect, he still failed to threaten Princess Zi Xuan, falling victim to the pulverizing Sword Qi of Cheng Ying Sword, resulting in his spirit being utterly extinguished!

At this moment, it seemed everyone was stunned, never imagining Princess Zi Xuan’s ruthless methods would be so fierce, proceeding without considering any consequences, mercilessly annihilating Third Son of Sword Sect!

The tragic Third Son of Sword Sect never imagined he would die in such a manner at Princess Zi Xuan’s hands, was it his own arrogance, or was it because after acquiring Cheng Ying Sword, Princess Zi Xuan’s confidence and strength had greatly increased, unleashing unprecedented potential?
