Chapter 869 - Fighting the Sect Masters

"Note of Annihilation!"

Sun Hao began playing the zither, creating a powerful zither note that had about 70 percent of his power into it.

In response, Yuan also started playing the zither.

[Heaven Severing Zither Arts!]

Yuan\'s zither note collided with Sun Hao\'s zither note once again.

However, instead of just canceling each other out like previously, Yuan\'s zither note overpowered Sun Hao\'s zither note and continued to fly at Sun Hao even after destroying his zither note.

"Scatter!"

Sun Hao hastily swept his fingers across all strings on his zither, creating this chaotic sound and barely defending himself against Yuan\'s zither note.

\'This brat… has some ability!\' He gritted his teeth from frustration.

The other Sect Masters also realized that Yuan wasn\'t just all talk from that exchange alone.

\'Two cultivation geniuses… How did it come to this…?\' Sect Master Li frowned inwardly, as he was beginning to regret their decisions that ended up offending not one, but two cultivation geniuses.

"DON\'T UNDERESTIMATE ME, BRAT!" Sun Hao suddenly roared, and his aura skyrocketed as he pulled all of the strings on his zither in an aggressive manner.

"Note of Nine Hells!"

An immense amount of spiritual energy that threatened to destroy everything it touched flew toward Yuan\'s direction.

Yuan didn\'t even blink at the incoming attack and used Heaven Severing Zither Arts once again.

"Impossible!" Sun Hao\'s eyes widened with shock when Yuan\'s zither note severed his most powerful zither note with seemingly zero effort.

Yuan\'s zither note continued to fly at Sun Hao after destroying his zither note, and before anyone could react, the zither note severed Sun Hao\'s left arm from his body.

"Ah!" Sun Hao tumbled to the ground after losing his arm, and the strings on his zither even snapped.

"Sect Master Sun!" The other Sect Masters quickly went to stand between Yuan and Sun Hao.

"You injured my friend, and you even tried to kill her, so I returned the debt by taking your arm. That\'s fair, right?"

"Y-You bastard… How dare you…" Sun Hao gritted his teeth in anger. Now that he\'s lost an arm, it would be near impossible to play the zither with the same agility and stability as before. Hell, he might even have to give up the zither.

"Sect Master Sun, here. Quickly eat this." Sect Master Xiahou handed him a recovery pill that immediately stopped his bleeding and even closed up his wound within seconds.

"Do you feel like fighting me at once now?" Yuan asked them after giving them some time to breathe.

The Sect Masters narrowed their eyes at him.

"I will handle this."

The Sect Master of the Formless Sword Academy suddenly stepped forward with a majestic green sword in his grasp.

"My name is Bai Enjue, Sect Master of the Formless Sword Academy. I hereby challenge you to a life or death challenge." Bai Enjue introduced himself as he pointed his sword at Yuan.

"Sect Master Bai?! What are you doing?!" The other Sect Masters were shocked by his words.

"Don\'t say anything. This is my decision."

Seeing this, Yuan also retrieved his sword and summoned the Empyrean Overlord.

\'A Soul Weapon? He can wield both a sword and a zither?\' Bai Enjue was inwardly shocked to see Yuan suddenly pull out a huge ass sword. The other Sect Masters felt the same after seeing the Empyrean Overlord.

After snapping out of his daze, Bai Enjue made his move first.

"Formless Sword Art— Formless Edge!"

A blue arc of light followed Bai Enjue\'s sword as it flew toward Yuan\'s neck.

After taking a split second to analyze the attack, Yuan also released his own attack. However, it was not a technique. Instead, Yuan just swung his sword ordinarily while using his Sword Aura to support it.

\'He can use Sword Aura?!\' Bai Enjue was shocked inwardly when he felt an exceedingly sharp aura coming from Yuan\'s sword.

The two attacks collided the very next second.

Yuan would be pushed back a couple of steps from the exchange, but Bai Enjue was sent flying backwards.

"Impossible! Even Sect Master Bai cannot match him using a sword?!"

"He can already use Sword Aura at such a young age…?"

The other Sect Masters were beginning to wonder if they\'d offended an existence that they shouldn\'t have provoked.

Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Academy.

"E-Elder Nie! We have an emergency!" A disciple rushed into his room without knocking.

"What happened?" Senior Nie asked with a slight frown on his annoyed face.

"T-The Sect Masters! They are…" The disciple didn\'t know how to explain the situation without making it sound too bad.

"Hurry up and speak! What happened to the Sect Masters?!" Senior Nie raised his voice.

"T-They are being beaten by some stranger!"

"What? How is that even possible?" Senior Nie immediately doubted this information.

"I-It\'s true! Watch the disciple examination broadcast!"

Senior Nie didn\'t say anything else and retrieved a treasure that allowed him to spectate the disciple examination.

After changing the scene multiple times, he finally halted at a specific broadcast where all seven Sect Masters of the Seven Spirit Academies\' was gathered, and they appeared to be in trouble.

"What happened to Sect Master Sun?! Why is he missing an arm? And most importantly, why is \'he\' there?!?!" Senior Nie exclaimed after seeing Sun Hao\'s condition and Yuan\'s familiar face.

"T-This is what happened…"

The disciple proceeded to explain the whole situation to Senior Nie, who was speechless by the end of it.

"Fuck! This is disastrous!" Senior Nie was so dumbfounded by the situation that he couldn\'t even think properly.

\'Out of everyone in this world, they had to pick a fight with him?! These idiots!\'

\'Damn it! I need to stop them before things really get out of hand!\'

"Tell everybody in the sect to standby!" After giving the disciple this warning, Senior Nie rushed outside and disappeared from the sect.

Meanwhile, the other six sects had already gathered many experts and started making their way towards the examination area to assist their Sect Masters that were clearly in trouble.
