Chapter 1270 1270: Whetstone

Yun Mengyao almost couldn't resist slapping this guy to death, but she held back in the end.

"Then I have an additional condition."

Wu Lin laughed and said, "Please go ahead, Fairy."

"If Qin Yi wins, you have to let me slap you."

Wu Lin was stunned, but after thinking it over, he nodded and agreed. In his opinion, Qin Yi had absolutely no chance of winning against the Great Elder.

Yun Mengyao laughed and said, "Alright, it's a deal. Place your bets quickly."

Wu Lin placed a bag of gold coins down.

Yun Mengyao looked around, "Anyone else want to place a bet?"

Wu Lin directly bet a thousand gold coins, so the others felt embarrassed to bet anything, as a mere three or five gold coins seemed too little.

Yun Mengyao glanced over and saw that aside from Wu Lin's thousand gold coins, the others had only managed to put up a few hundred coins, all betting on the Great Elder to win, leaving Qin Yi's side empty without a single coin.

"They're about to start. Anyone else want to bet? This is a sure win, you poor souls."

The young disciples present, feeling youthful and spirited, couldn't take this insult, and immediately clamored to place their bets. After all, the Great Elder was bound to win, making this a surefire deal.

In no time, apart from Wu Lin's thousand coins, roughly another thousand coins accumulated on the scene.

What a fortune.

Yun Mengyao was internally overjoyed.

"Miss Ran, do you want to place a bet?"

Ran Zitong hesitated, then awkwardly took out a dozen gold coins from her pouch, "This is all my money."

Yun Mengyao took it, "No worries, I'll bet on Qin Yi for you."

Ran Zitong opened her mouth, but in fact, she wanted to bet on the Great Elder to win.

Zhao Jing watched the commotion over here, the corner of his mouth twitching incessantly.

Seeing no more bets, Qin Yi spoke to Zhao Jing, "Great Elder, please."

Zhao Jing wasn't overly courteous, and his aura began to rise, white power sweeping out from around him, condensing into a sword in front of him.

"Qin Yi, my young friend, be careful now."

Qin Yi smiled without commenting.

Zhao Jing formed a sword technique with his hands, his fingers like a sword, slashing through the air.

"Whoosh!"

The longsword condensed with power before him shot towards Qin Yi like lightning, accompanied by a piercing, whistling sound, icy and chilling.

In fact, Zhao Jing's cultivation seemed not very high to Qin Yi, merely at the Unification Late Stage.

Qin Yi slowly raised his hand, and a brilliant Star and Moon Symbol emerged from his palm, slowly radiating outwards.

When Zhao Jing's sharp sword touched the Star and Moon Symbol, it originally aimed at Qin Yi, but suddenly changed its direction, turning its point around like an arrow off the string, shooting back towards Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing's face showed surprise; his attack was deflected back? What kind of technique was this? His hand swiftly executed several changes in the sword technique, and finally, the sharp sword stopped a meter in front of him. Zhao Jing pinched the sword technique, waved his hand in the air, and the sharp sword once again shot explosively towards Qin Yi.

The Star and Moon Symbol in Qin Yi's palm glowed even more brilliantly, and the surrounding light began to warp.

The sharp sword exploded forth, and a Star and Moon Symbol flew out to strike the sword.

"Bang!"

The sharp sword attacking Qin Yi changed direction again, piercing directly into the nearby ground, with a boom, the bluestone slabs on the ground burst into fragments.

Zhao Jing's eyes showed astonishment, yet his expression turned serious; Qin Yi's methods were too bizarre. His attacks seemed to lose control upon nearing Qin Yi.

"Qin Yi, my young friend's methods are truly remarkable."

Qin Yi chuckled and said, "It's alright."

Zhao Jing's expression turned grave, energy building around him even more intensely, conjuring into three sharp swords, arranged in the shape of a letter "L", accompanied by the hissing sound of a Poison Snake, shooting fiercely at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi's lips curled up, and a large cluster of Star and Moon Symbols emerged from his palm, dazzling and brilliant.

The three sharp swords touched the Star and Moon Symbols and actually veered away deliberately from Qin Yi, piercing directly into the empty ground behind him, causing that piece of ground to explode, rubble flying everywhere.

Zhao Jing was stunned, how could he fight like this, his attacks seemed afraid of Qin Yi, veering away automatically when they got close.

Qin Yi's eyes were full of delight, the power of this Engraving Skill exceeded his expectations.

Ran Zitong looked shocked, never expecting Qin Yi to be able to master the Engraving Skill to such a degree, even more proficient than her; it was unthinkably monstrous.

Yun Mengyao grinned and said, "See, Qin Yi is practicing his Engraving Skill using the Great Elder. This fellow, hurry up and defeat the Great Elder so I can collect my money."

Zhao Jing's eyes were serious, his full cultivation operating at its peak, the air around him distorting crazily, waves of white light rushing into the sky, instantly forming a giant sword several feet long.

"Qin Yi, be careful!"

Qin Yi laughed lightly, "Bring it on!"

Zhao Jing shouted angrily, clapping his hands together and suddenly slashing towards Qin Yi from afar, the giant sword in the air moving in response, slashing down with a thunderous roar, and the terrifying Sword Qi even tearing the air, emitting a crackling explosive sound.

Violet light surged from Qin Yi's palm, forming into a brilliant Star and Moon Symbol, flying into the sky, circling around the giant sword.

"Boom!"

The giant sword slashed into the ground, causing the earth to shake, and a terrible crack spread out.

However, the place where the giant sword fell was a full ten meters away from Qin Yi.

Zhao Jing's face changed dramatically because the giant sword once again veered off course as it neared Qin Yi, leaving his control. What kind of monster was this guy, it was too monstrous. How could he fight? No matter how heaven-defying one's cultivation was, if you couldn't hit, what was the use of it?

"Qin Yi's skills are truly impressive, my young friend."

Qin Yi laughed, "Just learned it, not very proficient yet. You keep attacking, don't mind me."

Zhao Jing's face turned black with anger, what was with that? Did he plan to use him as a whetstone? He couldn't believe that every attack could just change direction.

"Whoosh!"

Zhao Jing approached Qin Yi like lightning, attacking his chest with a palm.

Qin Yi was slightly startled; he didn't expect Zhao Jing to engage in close combat.

He wondered if this Engraving Skill could alter the direction of force, could it change the direction of a person's attack?

A large number of Star and Moon Symbols flowed from Qin Yi's palm like a colorful chain wrapping around Zhao Jing's arm.

Zhao Jing's face changed drastically; he found his arm suddenly out of control, guided by some terrifying force, veering off course, with the palm moving several tens of centimeters away.

"Boom!"

Zhao Jing's palm naturally hit nothing, directly creating a large pit in the ground.

The Sword Sect disciples present were dumbfounded; what was the Great Elder doing? Did he suddenly go blind, Qin Yi was clearly on his left, and he struck his palm to the right.

"What is the Great Elder doing?"

"Don't know, could it be he is deliberately letting Qin Yi win?"

"Perhaps the Great Elder fears ending it in one move, making Qin Yi lose too disgracefully, so he is giving Qin Yi some slack."

Yun Mengyao showed disdain, "Bumpkins, weaklings, what do you know? This is one of Qin Yi's skills, it can deflect all attacks. Actually, Qin Yi is giving your Great Elder some slack, otherwise, with a sneeze, your Great Elder wouldn't hold up."
