Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Another Lesson Learned

Elder Ling noticed Ji Ruyue’s expression.

It looked strange.

What was going on with Ji Ruyue?

Could it be that she thought the Sect Master would suffer a loss?

Shaking her head, she gently comforted Jiang Fan, saying, “You don’t need to be nervous, just do your best.”

“After the sparring, the Sect Master will give you careful guidance.”

“This is an opportunity that many disciples long for but can’t get.”

The Desires Sect Master was incredibly busy.

Even her most esteemed disciples rarely had the chance for such sparring and guidance.

Jiang Fan, of course, knew this was a rare opportunity, so he didn’t refuse and nodded:

“Then I won’t hold back.”

Having sparred with Gong Caiyi without being able to land a single hit.

Jiang Fan held nothing back as he made his move.

He immediately drew the Black Sword and began with a set of “Sword Heart Engraving”.

“Splitting Light Sword!”

As he executed the strike, it was accompanied by a thunderous explosion, deafening.

Yue Mingzhu was slightly taken aback: “You also mastered swordsmanship?”

“And its power has reached the High Profound Level!”

She was somewhat surprised.

In addition to that Finger Technique, Jiang Fan now possessed an Earth-level Cultivation Technique and a High Profound Level Swordsmanship.

Where did this little disciple of the Green Cloud Sect get so many powerful techniques?

Feeling the extraordinary nature of the sword moves, she, suppressing her cultivation, dared not be careless.

With a suction from a distance.

The jade ruler on the long table flew to her hand.

She then swung three moves consecutively.

“Spring Breeze and Rain!”

This was a High Profound Level Ruler Technique.

One swing absorbed the moisture in the air, turning it into a stream of water.

It scattered the sword qi that was heading towards her.

“That’s all there is to it.” Yue Mingzhu felt a moment of pride.

Just as she thought this.

Jiang Fan’s second move struck again, airtight.

“Sunrise Over the Sea!”

An even more powerful sword move, carrying a resonant sound, swept in.

Yue Mingzhu was slightly amazed.

The second move was much stronger than the first, very close to an Earth-level Technique.

She immediately executed her second move.

The stream of water turned into countless droplets, like hidden weapons, shooting densely.

Not only did it scatter the sword qi, but the remaining droplets headed straight for Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan was slightly surprised.

To use a High Profound Level Technique to scatter his second move, and still have strength left to attack him.

This was the first time he had seen this.

This ruler technique was far from simple.

So, Jiang Fan held nothing back, he shouted in a low voice:

“Heaven and Earth Star Fall!”

A full-force strike of Lower Earth Level Technique.

Extremely sharp sword qi, carrying a terrifying thunderbolt that deafened one’s ears, struck fiercely.

The attacking water droplets evaporated on the spot.

The sword qi continued unabated, heading straight for Yue Mingzhu.

“Earth-level Technique?” Yue Mingzhu was startled.

Only now did she realize how terrifyingly varied this swordsmanship was, the gap between moves was shocking!

She hurriedly swung the jade ruler in succession.

Scattering most of the sword qi.

But some sword qi still made their way through, hitting her body directly.

She immediately gathered her spiritual power, protecting her body.

Clang, clang, clang—

With metallic collisions, the spiritual power on her body finally blocked the last bit of sword qi.

Nevertheless, the spots struck by the sword qi still felt a stinging pain.

Yue Mingzhu felt both shock and anger.

She was shocked that without the spiritual power of the Second Level Core Formation, she would have surely been injured by the sword qi.

She was angry because Jiang Fan, instead of being beaten as she expected, had actually inflicted a small injury on her!

How dare he!

She threw the jade ruler away and charged towards Jiang Fan with her fists clenched, preparing for close combat to make him suffer physically.

“Just in time!”

Jiang Fan sheathed his sword and shouted in a low voice: “Phoenix Blood Treasure Body!”

The blood within his body boiled, filling every corner of his being.

In an instant, he transformed into a blood-red figure.

He wanted to see how his full-power body technique compared to a Sect Master level physique.

At the same time.

The final move of “Heavenly Battle Nine Forms” was used directly!

“Sky Opening!”

This was his strongest body technique strike.

Yue Mingzhu looked at the blood-red Jiang Fan in amazement, what was this?

Why had she never seen this at the cliff bottom?

She was a bit confused.

At the cliff bottom, she thought she had seen all of Jiang Fan’s means.

Yet in this bout, Jiang Fan’s techniques were all new.

How many more abilities was this guy hiding?

With a hint of curiosity, she punched straight at Jiang Fan’s chest.

Jiang Fan also unleashed his Sky Opening.

Their four fists collided with a sound that made the air tremble.

Immediately, a stream of air centered on their fists, rolling out in all directions.

Ji Ruyue and Elder Ling were both forced to lift their sleeves to shield their faces.

Ji Ruyue wasn’t surprised.

But Elder Ling was shocked, staring fixedly at the center of the air currents and the stalemate between the two.

Her old eyes widened: “He… he could actually match the Sect Master’s physique using body techniques?”

Finally, she somewhat understood why Ji Ruyue repeatedly reminded the Sect Master not to be careless.

This Jiang Fan was not someone who could be judged by common sense!

On the field, Yue Mingzhu was stunned.

Although her cultivation was suppressed to the second level of Core Formation, her physique wasn’t.

This punch, Jiang Fan actually withstood it?

Just how strong were his body techniques?

She bit her silver teeth, suddenly exerting force.

Jiang Fan wasn’t willing to be outdone, exploding with immense strength.

With a bang, the airflow exploded, sending both of them flying backwards.

Yue Mingzhu glanced at Ji Ruyue and Elder Ling from the corner of her eye, her face turning red.

She was supposed to teach Jiang Fan a lesson, but she ended up drawing a tie!

Without hesitation, she set up a stance for her palm technique.

“I am going to use my most skilled palm technique, which is an Earth-level Lower technique, and it’s complete.”

“You better be careful.”

“If you can’t hold on, surrender, don’t push yourself.”

Elder Ling clicked her tongue.

Theoretically, Yue Mingzhu sparring with a Foundation Establishment disciple like Jiang Fan shouldn’t even have to use any techniques.

Now, she was forced to use her most skilled Earth-level palm technique.

Jiang Fan became stern.

A Second Level Core Formation cultivator using an Earth-level technique, the power was self-evidently terrifying.

How could he dare to hold back?

He immediately took the wooden box from his back, took out an entirely snow-white ancient zither with crystal-colored strings.

Upon seeing this object.

Ji Ruyue shivered on the spot and quickly ran out of the hall.

She ran swiftly, fearing she might be affected if she was too slow.

Elder Ling was puzzled, saying, “Why are you running?”

Ji Ruyue turned back and said, “Great Elder, run, don’t stay there.”

Elder Ling was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

It’s just a zither, could it possibly affect her?

She examined the zither in Jiang Fan’s hand, but one look made her face serious.

“This… isn’t this the life-bound magical artifact of the Great Elder of Heavenly Sound Sect?”

“How did it end up in your hands?”

As a fellow Great Elder of the Nine-Sect, she was naturally very familiar with Ming Youlian’s magical artifact.

This was the only High-grade Seven-stringed Zither on the Nine-Sect Land!

In Ming Youlian’s hands, it could exert immense power.

Yue Mingzhu was also startled, but then suspiciously said, “Doesn’t it require the cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Sound Sect to activate?”

“Could you also have mastered their techniques?”

Jiang Fan sat cross-legged, placing the Long Zither on his knees, saying, “I know a little.”

“Sect Master, please be careful.”

Yue Mingzhu was dismissive.

The techniques of the Heavenly Sound Sect relied mainly on musical scores, even within the sect, apart from the exceptionally talented Fu Chaohun, few could comprehend powerful scores.

Not to mention Jiang Fan, who was an outsider?

She said, “The one who should be careful is you!”

“Without sufficient strength, you might not be able to bring out the power of a High-grade magical artifact!”

“Take this!”

Without further words, a powerful palm technique struck directly.

Before it even reached him, the strong palm force sliced through the air, producing a series of piercing explosions.

An increasingly large, visible handprint fiercely struck forward.

Jiang Fan was unhurried.

His ten fingers plucked the zither strings!
