55: Chapter 55: Do You Dare to Battle Within the Same Realm?

Under the vast sky, Sword Immortals chase the wind.

Peasants working the land noticed a streak of white light flying across the sky from the west, like a meteor in broad daylight.

Many thought it was a celestial descending to earth, and they immediately knelt down and began to make silent wishes.

Some prayed for a bountiful harvest this year, hoping that the landlord wouldn’t find out so that their families could be well fed.

Others wished for their daughters to find a loyal and honest man to marry, not minding if he was poor as long as he was kind.

Still others hoped for their wives to give birth smoothly and for both mother and child to be safe—even if it turned out to be a mother and daughter, that would be fine too.

However, just as everyone had finished making their simple wishes, they faintly heard a response from the white light now far away in the sky.

“Zhao Siyang, you little trash, can’t you play fair?

You sneak-attacking scoundrel!”

“You shameless cretin, your integrity scattered all over, you are a legendary disgrace among sword cultivators.”

“Your words are full of holes, your trousers leak in the rain, you can lift with your hands but not with your legs.”

“You backstab your friends, your behavior reeks of desperation, you’re the epitome of valuing lust over friendship!”

Zhao Siyang, controlling his flying sword, glanced down at Zhang San, whom he was holding upside down.

Although being cursed at was annoying, how come this guy’s insults were always so rhymed?

Did he practice that?

“With one hand, I am protecting her, with the other, I’m protecting you.

How can you say I value lust over friends?

Qin Wuyang, if you keep accusing me of that, then I might just let go!”

Zhang San, being held upside down by Zhao Siyang, already felt uncomfortable with the cold wind blowing against his back.

Looking down, all he could see were village outlines and fields crisscrossing, he couldn’t even see the people.

Zhang San knew if Zhao Siyang let go, he would definitely land in a disastrously “safe” heap.

“Zhao Siyang, stop talking!

I…

I feel nauseous when I hear your voice, you know?”

Zhang San wasn’t exaggerating; he truly felt nauseous.

Zhao Siyang laughed.

He knew that flying head-on into the wind wasn’t a problem as long as you blocked it.

But flying with your back to the wind, that would cause some discomfort.

And with Zhang San being carried upside down, the feeling of discomfort was only intensified.

Reaching a wild thicket, Zhao Siyang descended.

Zhang San, upon being released and untied, immediately leaned against a tree and began to vomit.

Zhao Siyang seized the moment to tease: “Qin Wuyang, you can’t handle this either!”

Zhang San was furious!

After forcefully vomiting a couple of times, he quickly retorted, “You shameless bastard, believe it or not, I’ll vomit on your face first!

I…

bleugh…”

Just when Zhang San was about to vomit again, he suddenly had an idea and immediately covered his mouth, lunging towards Zhao Siyang.

It didn’t matter where he vomited!

Zhao Siyang, don’t you dare run!

Zhao Siyang was also shocked!

He had seen people being sickening, but never to this extent!

The reputation of the Heavenly Punishment Sect was about to be utterly ruined!

Zhao Siyang dodged frantically while Zhang San, unable to hold back, leaned on the tree and continued to throw up.

The girl, however, was very curious and asked Zhao Siyang, “Little Taoist, is this man your friend?”

Looking at Zhang San, Zhao Siyang replied with a smug smile, “We’ve met before; you could say he’s a friend.

Though he’s rude, he is indeed a kind-hearted good person.”

At this moment, Zhang San finished vomiting and felt somewhat relieved.

He took the water pouch he carried with him, ready to rinse his mouth, but didn’t proceed immediately, instead, he warned the woman.

“I’ve only seen him once when he sneaked over someone’s wall in the middle of the night.

I don’t know what he’s coveting.

It’s probably some flower-picking pervert; you should be careful at night.”

The woman found Zhang San’s words amusing and chuckled.

Zhao Siyang, however, was somewhat displeased, as he wanted to leave a good impression on the woman but here was Zhang San, slandering him.

With a clang, Zhao Siyang drew the longsword from the Great Sword on his back.

Zhang San, seeing this, immediately admitted his mistake.

“My bad, my bad.

I wasn’t telling the lady to be careful at night.

Are we good now?”

Zhao Siyang then sheathed his longsword.

Upon seeing the longsword return to its sheath, Zhang San quickly added another comment.

“Be careful during the day too!”

Zhao Siyang was furious.

I should’ve just left him behind on the way here.

“Alright, I won’t argue with you; I need to take a moment to rest.”

Zhao Siyang looked at Zhang San and asked softly, “You’re not trying to stall for time and then run away, are you?”

Zhang San snorted coldly and retorted, “Run?

Why would I run?

Zhao Siyang, once I’ve recovered, let’s have a fair duel.

Do you dare?”

“Why wouldn’t I dare?”

“For a fair duel, we should be at the same Realm.

I’m at the early stage of the Primordial Qi Realm, the Refining Qi into the Body phase.

Do you dare to fight me?”

Zhao Siyang smiled and nodded, saying, “Then I’ll suppress my strength to the Refining Qi into the Body phase and fight you!”

The woman was quite curious, having never seen cultivators spar before, and asked whether the fight would cause much disturbance and if she should move further away.

Zhao Siyang laughed, “The Primordial Qi Realm is the first Realm for cultivators and also the most fundamental.”

“And Refining Qi into the Body is the first phase of this Realm, the very foundation of the foundations.”

“Our battle won’t be too disruptive; you can just sit there and watch.”

The woman was delighted and began to look forward to the competition between the two men.

Zhang San had also recovered quickly and called out to Zhao Siyang, “Zhao Siyang, I’m ready!

I am not like you, resorting to surprise attacks.

If I were to engage in a fight, I would surely give notice first.”

As he spoke, Zhang San stood up, stretched his body, and then began to rinse his mouth with water from the pouch.

Zhao Siyang also noticed that although Zhang San took out the water bottle after vomiting, he hadn’t rinsed his mouth yet.

At this time, Zhang San rinsed his mouth and simultaneously drew his Horizontal Blade, slowly advancing step by step towards Zhao Siyang.

Zhao Siyang suppressed his cultivation to the early Primordial Qi Realm’s Refining Qi into the Body phase.

Suddenly, Zhang San charged at him fiercely.

Just when Zhao Siyang confidently thought he could easily break through Zhang San’s full-of-flaws assault, Zhang San suddenly spat out a mouthful of rinse water towards Zhao Siyang.

Zhao Siyang was so startled that he immediately used Sword Qi to protect his body and then quickly dodged aside.

But just as he evaded the water attack, Zhang San’s blade had already arrived!

The woman watched them exchange blows and, though she didn’t understand much, she couldn’t help clapping and cheering when it seemed flashy.

However, in truth, the woman was very clear about the situation of the two men’s battle.

Zhao Siyang had a solid foundation, and even at the weak stage of the early Primordial Qi Realm, he could still play to his advantages in the Sword Dao.

The youth who called himself “Qin Wuyang” had varied abilities, a flexible combat style, and although it was apparent that he lacked battle experience, his combined technique and martial approach often caught Zhao Siyang off guard.

For a while, it was truly hard to tell which of the two had the upper hand.
