Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Hand Over the Sword and Spare Your Life

As soon as the livestream began, someone saw Yan Rufeng standing on the flying sword.

"Come look, Yan Rufeng, he, Yan Rufeng, is actually performing Sword Flight!" Someone yelled in shock while staring at the screen on their phone.

"What the heck, why the shouting?"

This person leaned in for a closer look, eyes widening. "Holy crap, is he a god?"

They saw Yan Rufeng gracefully land on the flying sword, his sharp gaze glaring angrily at the group of Japanese.

"Those who offend the Dragon Abyss Sect shall die!"

"Awesome!" the crowd in front of the screen shouted excitedly.

However, at this moment in the Grand Hall of Shushan Sword Palace, an elder in a gray robe snorted coldly and said, "Arrogant."

Yan Rufeng was indeed arrogant, but he had the right to be. The next moment, twelve more flying swords appeared swirling in front of him.

Facing the murderous Yan Rufeng, several of the twelve Japanese samurai began to tremble with fear.

Suddenly, one of them stepped forward, shouting angrily, "Yan Rufeng, don’t be so arrogant. Hand over the Heavenly Union Treasure Sword, and we will spare your life."

"And if I don’t hand it over?" Yan Rufeng said sternly.

"As a superpower user from Japan, I have no problem killing you right now," the Japanese superpower user said, his eyes flashing with intent to kill.

"Superpower user? You think your abilities mean anything here? You came and desecrated our sect’s stone tablet. That alone is a crime worthy of death. None of you will leave here alive today," Yan Rufeng said each word with determination.

"Yan Rufeng, stop your wild boasting."

The Japanese man roared. Flames began to erupt from his body until he was completely engulfed, then he shot towards Yan Rufeng like a cannonball.

"Ha ha."

"This guy’s pretty good with fire, but it’s not good enough against me!"

As soon as Yan Rufeng finished speaking, the twelve flying swords in front of him emitted a "whoosh whoosh whoosh," accompanied by the sound of swords singing, piercing through the midst of the flames in an instant.

The flames burst apart, like blooming fireworks that captivated the crowd.

"Baka!"

Another Japanese saw his comrade being killed by Yan Rufeng and shouted angrily, "Everyone, follow me, let’s kill this Chinese Z."

"Dare to insult me? I’ll make sure your souls are scattered," Yan Rufeng yelled. "The boundless universe, infinite Dao Techniques, one sword to create ten thousand swords."

In an instant, a Spirit Sword formed from Spiritual Energy floated in front of Yan Rufeng.

The sword split into two, then four, and soon, thousands of flying swords shot towards the eleven remaining Japanese.

A single Spirit Sword pierced through the body of one Japanese, and with a scream, the thousands of Spirit Swords followed, flooding the air with a crimson rain.

But it wasn’t over. The thousands of flying swords transformed into Spiritual Energy, forming a massive, thick Spiritual Energy Barrier. Inside, the souls of the eleven Japanese were sealed.

Yan Rufeng stood where he was, indifferent to the quivering souls within the Spiritual Energy Barrier, and uttered a single word, "Perish..."

"Immortal, don’t kill us; it was our mistake. We’re the pigs; please spare us," the souls of the eleven Japanese begged within the barrier.

Of course, no one else could see this. Yan Rufeng feared causing panic. Except for those with cultivation on par with him, not even Golden Core Stage experts could see the souls within his Spiritual Energy Barrier.

"Now you beg for mercy? Too late," Yan Rufeng said.

He clenched his fist, and with a muffled boom, the Spiritual Energy Barrier exploded, and those eleven Japanese vanished completely from this world.

Everyone watching the livestream stared in silence. They were first worried, then astonished, then in disbelief. They couldn’t believe Yan Rufeng was a cultivator, or that he survived against twelve powerful Japanese, or that he could so easily kill them.

During this time, Yan Rufeng had brought many surprises to the audience. The next moment, when everyone realized what had happened, they went wild. News of Yan Rufeng slaughtering twelve Japanese superpower users spread across the Huaxia Land instantly.

When the news reached Japan, it caused a huge uproar. They couldn’t believe, nor were they willing to believe, that the superpower experts sent to reclaim the Heavenly Union Treasure Sword had all been killed by Yan Rufeng.

The Japan Earth Emperor, upon hearing the news, kicked the messenger to the ground.

"Baka."

"Is that Chinese really that powerful?"

The man nodded and added, "According to reports from the superpower department, none of the thirteen souls managed to escape."

"I see..."

"That Chinese must die. I will personally ask our God to go to China and exterminate Yan Rufeng..."

On a small island in Japan, in a cave filled with abundant Spiritual Energy, the Japan Earth Emperor wept.

"Great Yamanouchi Jiro, our nation is in trouble."

An elderly man with white hair slowly opened his eyes and said, "I already know. Send a challenge letter."

The Japan Earth Emperor left the island. The elderly man in the cave muttered to himself, "I have not emerged in centuries. Has the world changed so much? A young man can easily kill my disciple, who was at the Golden Core Stage. Even if that boy started cultivating in the womb, it would be impossible for him to achieve this..."

"Alas..."

The old man sighed, "Perhaps I, Yamanouchi Jiro, have been silent for too long. It’s time to visit old friends in Huaxia..."

At Shushan Sword Palace, an elderly man sat with closed eyes. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Qing Feng."

"Master, I am here," a young man in a robe bowed.

"Deliver my command. In three days, go to Zhongzhou Wolong Abyss to avenge your senior brother. First, send a challenge letter to Yan Rufeng."

Qing Feng bowed and withdrew, writing the challenge letter and posting it online, tagging Yan Rufeng.

"Shushan Sword Palace will enter the world. In three days, will Yan Rufeng of Zhongzhou Dragon Abyss Sect dare to fight?"

Leveraging Yan Rufeng’s popularity, the post quickly sparked heated discussions online.

"Shushan Sword Palace, sounds familiar."

"What do you mean familiar? Isn’t that the legendary Immortal Sect with a thousand years of heritage, Shushan Sword Palace?" A netizen exclaimed.

"Wow, an Immortal Sect with a thousand-year heritage actually exists. Yan Rufeng is in trouble now," a netizen seemed worried.

"Sigh, it’s true as the saying goes, ’fame invites trouble.’ Yan Sect Leader Yan Rufeng has barely revealed his identity, and someone’s already jumped out to challenge him," a netizen sighed.

"You must not know, Shushan Sword Palace wants to leverage Yan Rufeng’s popularity to enter the world," another netizen said, seemingly understanding Shushan Sword Palace’s thinking.

"If you put it that way, Shushan Sword Palace’s actions are quite improper."

"Who says they aren’t?"

A female netizen angrily commented, using ten knife emojis in a row, "Shushan Sword Palace bullies my husband, they’re looking for a fight."

"Looking for a fight, Shushan Sword Palace will definitely lose..."

Yan Rufeng’s female fans followed suit, angrily tagging Shushan Sword Palace’s spokesperson.

However, Yan Rufeng then replied, "The arena is ready. If you want to fight, fight. No more talking."

After Yan Rufeng’s reply, the crowd cheered.

The heated discussions and praise pushed Yan Rufeng’s reply to the top.

Someone commented, "This is the demeanor of our number one in Huaxia. If you want to fight, then fight. No more talking. Awesome!"

"Support our Sect Leader Yan..."

"Top post, top post!"

"Support..."

"Looking forward to Shushan Sword Palace’s response, top post."

"My husband is so strong, yay, top post..."

On the Shushan Sword Palace side, Qing Feng found it hard to back down. His trembling hands typed out a difficult sentence, "We will be there in three days."
