Chapter 234: Frost Sword Against Black Saber

Frost Sword Against Black Saber

Harry Taylor was stunned when he saw this person.

"Prison Holy Sect, Lavish..."

The moment those words left his mouth, his expression visibly changed.

The noisy surroundings suddenly seemed distant.

The sky above the Martial Emperor Tomb was filled with countless figures. Streaks of light crossed the heavens like shooting stars as more cultivators arrived from every direction of the Forsaken Domain. Ancient warships floated in the distance, giant spirit beasts roared across the skies, and powerful auras rose and fell like waves upon an endless sea.

Yet Harry’s eyes remained fixed on the figure standing before them.

Lavish.

He happened to know this person. He was the successor of the Prison Holy Sect, who was equally famous as Rex Vine and Fairy Fiona.

Why was it him?

Harry’s heart trembled slightly.

He was not arrogant enough to go against Lavish. This person’s identity alone was enough to suppress countless people of the younger generation. The Prison Holy Sect was infamous throughout the Forsaken Domain. They were called wardens of the Forsaken Domain, experts in prison techniques and suppression arts.

More importantly—

Lavish himself was known for being ruthless.

Harry was now beside Leon, but Leon had never officially accepted him as a student. His status had not truly changed.

Compared to Lavish...

He was still lacking.

Harry clenched his fists briefly before slowly relaxing them.

He hid a trace of grievance in his heart and did not retort.

This caused Selena to become puzzled.

Her blue eyes narrowed slightly.

Based on Harry’s usual personality, he should have exploded long ago.

Even if he could not win, he would still argue until the heavens collapsed.

Why was he acting so quietly today?

Seemingly noticing Selena’s confusion, Harry leaned closer and spoke in a low voice.

"Sister Selena... this person is the successor of the Prison Holy Sect. His name is Lavish. He’s as famous as Rex Vine, Fairy Fiona, and the others. His strength is unfathomable, and he’s famous for being vengeful and ruthless. It’s better if we don’t provoke him..."

His voice carried unusual seriousness.

The playful expression he always wore had disappeared.

Rias and Selena immediately understood.

"Lavish..."

Selena frowned.

This person had arrived with obvious hostility.

Even someone as calm as her could clearly feel it.

However, after a moment—

She slowly shook her head.

"Forget it."

Her silver hair moved gently in the wind.

"Teacher isn’t here now. It’s better not to create trouble."

Her gaze briefly turned toward the distant golden entrance of the Martial Emperor Tomb.

"If it’s only Lavish, there’s nothing to fear. But there are Guardian Elders behind him."

She wasn’t afraid.

She simply didn’t want unnecessary problems.

Leon had entered the tomb already.

The current situation was too chaotic.

Unexpectedly—

Lavish suddenly looked directly at her.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"I’ve heard of you, the head student of Amethyst Summit Division, Selena, right?"

Selena froze slightly.

He knew her?

She looked at him with confusion.

She simply nodded.

She still said nothing.

Lavish smiled faintly.

However, there was something mocking hidden beneath that smile.

"It’s said that Leon of Amethyst Summit Division is called the Purple Sword Monarch. His swordsmanship is divine."

His eyes slowly scanned Selena.

"I wonder how capable his student is."

A smile appeared on his lips.

"Or could it be that the outside world is simply exaggerating?"

The atmosphere instantly changed.

Rias’s face darkened.

Harry’s expression stiffened.

Selena’s eyes turned cold.

She had endured his attitude before because she didn’t want to intensify matters.

But there was one thing she absolutely would not tolerate.

Insulting Leon.

To others—

Leon might only be a Teacher.

But to her...

He was someone who changed her life.

Someone who had pulled her from darkness and gave her a path forward.

Someone she respected more than herself.

She slowly lifted her eyes.

"You can try if it’s just for show."

Boom.

An icy wave exploded outward.

Her Divine Ice Bones instantly released an overwhelming cold aura.

The surrounding air rapidly froze.

Thin frost began spreading beneath her feet.

The temperature suddenly dropped.

People nearby shivered.

Even the air itself felt as though it had become heavy.

The surrounding crowd immediately sensed conflict.

Without needing words, people silently moved aside.

A large empty area formed around them.

Rias looked toward Selena with slight surprise.

Even Harry blinked.

He had rarely seen her become genuinely angry.

Lavish looked at Selena teasingly.

"Young lady."

His smile widened.

"It seems you’re very confident."

"I don’t know who gave you the courage to speak to me like this."

He folded his arms.

"Well... you’re good."

His eyes flashed.

"You successfully caught my attention."

Lavish maintained his high and mighty posture.

The next second—

Boom!

A terrifying pressure erupted from his body.

Power surged upward like a black storm.

His robes fluttered wildly.

The ground beneath him cracked.

"GrandMaster Realm!"

The surrounding crowd instantly sensed it.

Not far away, Rex Vine looked over with surprise.

He had been standing lazily among the crowd with folded arms.

But now—

He suddenly straightened.

He immediately realized Selena was confronting Lavish.

"Haha..."

Rex stretched his back.

His bones cracked loudly.

"What’s wrong with this guy?"

"Bullying a little girl?"

A playful smile appeared on his face.

"Since you want to play so much..."

"I’ll play with you."

He slowly walked toward them.

But halfway there—

He suddenly stopped.

Because after Lavish erupted with his GrandMaster Realm aura—

Selena sneered.

Boom!

Another astonishing pressure burst out.

Cold mana exploded like an endless blizzard.

The frost beneath her feet spread rapidly.

Even space itself seemed colder.

Rex’s eyes widened.

"Hmm?"

"GrandMaster Realm?"

He stared blankly.

Wasn’t that Selena’s aura?

When had she broken through?

He had personally attended the Seven Division Martial Meeting.

Back then, Selena had not even reached that level.

Yet now—

She had actually reached GrandMaster Realm so quickly.

"Oh my god..."

Rex’s face twitched.

"Leon really is ridiculously generous."

"Don’t tell me he gave her a Mana Guidance Fruit too?"

Cold sweat formed on his forehead.

Ever since knowing Leon, he had continuously watched him throw treasures at his students like they were worthless vegetables.

He had become numb.

No—

Beyond numb.

He felt pain.

What kind of Teacher was this?

"Why wasn’t he this lucky?"

The thought flashed through Rex’s mind, but he quickly pushed it aside and focused on the situation unfolding before him.

Rex sighed dramatically.

"That works too. Her realm is equal to Lavish."

He slowly retracted his foot.

"Saves me the trouble to intervene."

Meanwhile—

Lavish frowned.

A dangerous feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

Originally, he assumed Selena had not reached GrandMaster Realm yet.

After all—

People like them were considered monsters among their generation.

Breaking through itself was already difficult.

As for Selena—

She had only recently become known because of Leon.

How could she suddenly catch up?

"Interesting."

Lavish’s eyes narrowed.

"Looks like I’ve underestimated you."

His smile slowly disappeared.

A genius naturally had a genius’s pride.

And he firmly believed—

He was invincible among equals.

Selena’s cultivation only made him interested.

"Since we’re of the same level..."

"It can’t be considered bullying."

He smiled coldly.

"Let me try today."

"I want to see exactly how capable the so-called head student of the Purple Sword Monarch is."

As soon as Lavish finished speaking, a pitch-black saber appeared in his hand, emitting waves of murderous aura.

One could feel that this saber had killed many people before, so it carried a strong killing intent.
