Chapter 0523 Month of Revenge

Chapter 0523: Vengeful Moon

Long Yufan, laughing wildly, let out a furious roar upon seeing Qin Yun still standing!

Once again, he unleashed the Tyrant Sword Arcane Art, conjuring a massive blade to slash at Qin Yun and the others!

"You three damned mutts, I'll cripple you all!"

Long Yufan was prone to rage, likely due to the cultivation techniques he practiced.

Boom after boom!

Long Yufan drained every ounce of his strength, desperately wielding the Tyrant Sword Arcane Art.

He slashed wildly at Qin Yun, Tian Ruoleng, and Yue Wulan!

The power of the Tyrant Sword Arcane Art was truly terrifying.

It generated immense force, battering the Tremor Shield and injuring Qin Yun.

After dozens of consecutive slashes, Long Yufan was panting heavily, his face ghastly pale!

Qin Yun’s body was splitting from the shockwaves, yet he stood firm, unwavering as he maintained the Tremor Shield.

His physique, forged by Nine Sun’s energy, could withstand three Dao Pills—making him exceptionally resilient. His physical endurance was no weaker than a martial master’s.

Tian Ruoleng and Yue Wulan, seeing Qin Yun soaked in blood, were heartbroken.

They poured their energy into Qin Yun, helping him sustain the Tremor Shield.

"Long Yufan, I’ll kill you!"

Tian Ruoleng gripped the Frostcloud Blade tightly, burning to charge forward and cut him down.

"Bring it on, if you’ve got the guts! If you defenders dare to retaliate, we can kill you without consequence—and all your points will be ours!" Long Yufan sneered. "Miserable curs, come and kill me!"

The other seven attackers rushed forward, pounding the Tremor Shield with their full strength!

Everyone couldn’t help but marvel at the terrifying resilience of Qin Yun’s Tremor Shield.

Long Yufan’s face grew grimmer.

If they failed to win, it wouldn’t just mean losing eight points—it would cost the Long Family 1.5 billion Purple Crystals!

"Finish them!" The Long Family elder shouted anxiously.

Long Yufan had nearly exhausted himself with those dozens of consecutive slashes.

He had thought he could weaken Qin Yun’s shield, but even with the seven others joining in the all-out assault, they couldn’t break through.

"Hahaha…" Qin Yun suddenly barked out a laugh.

"Long Family, you’ve lost completely this time! Those 1.5 billion Purple Crystals are mine! Look at you all, squirming like rats—but what can you do?"

Though covered in blood, Qin Yun still seemed surging with power.

Seeing Qin Yun so spirited, Tian Ruoleng let out a breath of relief.

Only his body was broken.

His formidable physique had been tempered through countless trials, and within his Mingyang Dao Core, the Tree Totem unleashed life energy that rapidly healed his injuries.

Given enough time to recover, he was practically indestructible!

Long Yufan was extremely tense, his face twisted in anguish, not daring to meet the gaze of his Long family elders.

They'd been so confident earlier, but now their expressions were a mix of fury, anxiety, and despair...

Soon, time was up!

"Fandao Hall wins, gaining eight points! Total: twenty-four points, currently ranked first!"

Xiong Dao cheered loudly.

The members of the Celestial Sword Academy all looked absolutely grim.

Yesterday, they had fought hard in two battles just to earn four points, yet today they had lost eight.

The Celestial Sword Academy was now in the negative.

Tian Ruoleng and Yue Wulan helped steady Qin Yun, checking his injuries.

"It's nothing serious!" Qin Yun wiped his face and smiled.

Xiong Dao approached and presented him with the ancient Dao sword along with the 1.5 billion purple crystal coins.

The crowd erupted in awe!

Fandao Hall, with only three members, had once again successfully defended against a top-tier academy's attack!

Even Long Yufan, a martial master versed in Arcane Arts, had failed to break Qin Yun's vibrational shield.

This meant that even if other elite academies attacked again, it'd be pointless.

The incident rocked the entire Blade and Sword Manor!

Three top-tier sword academies in a row had failed to defeat a single bottom-ranked blade academy!

This was a crushing humiliation for the entire Sword Hall.

The Long family was the hardest hit, having lost 1.5 billion purple crystal coins.

Qin Yun quickly ducked into his chamber to rest and recover.

If another powerful elite academy attacked in the afternoon, they'd be in for another grind.

...

Sword Blind's team had just taken down a mid-rank blade academy, earning four points.

Their score placed them second.

But second place meant nothing—only the top spot would receive rewards.

After their battle, Sword Blind and his team were floored when they heard the news about Fandao Hall.

"Long Yufan, a martial master who used the Tyrant Sword Arcane Art, couldn't defeat Qin Yun! Even if I went, the result would be the same!"

Sword Blind sighed, then turned to Long Wuchen and Yang Mutian, saying, "You two had better watch out. If next month the blade academies attack our sword academy, you're definitely on his hit list!"

"I, Long Wuchen, have never feared him! It's you who are so timid, not daring to provoke Qin Yun!" Long Wuchen sneered, truly unafraid of Qin Yun.

Blind Swordsman shook his head, only hoping that Yang Mutian and Long Wuchen would quickly leave his sword academy so they wouldn’t become Qin Yun’s targets.

...

In the afternoon, the attackers targeting Fandao Hall were no longer top-tier sword academies but lower-tier ones.

After three consecutive high-tier sword academies failed to conquer Fandao Hall, no other sword academy dared to try—losing cost them eight points!

For high-tier sword academies, defeating four high-tier blade academies was required to recover those points, which would take two days.

Defending against low-tier sword academies was a breeze for Qin Yun and his team, offering no resistance at all.

Previously, many sword academies had rushed to attack Fandao Hall.

But now, none wanted to choose Fandao Hall.

Yet in every round of attacks, some unfortunate sword academy inevitably had to face Fandao Hall.

Though Fandao Hall had only three defenders, their current score ranked first!

People suddenly felt that this Blade-Sword Battle was practically made for Fandao Hall.

Because Qin Yun, Tian Ruoleng, and Yue Wulan’s defenses were too formidable.

Not only did they possess excellent equipment, but they also wielded esoteric techniques capable of unleashing powerful shockwaves to form defensive shields.

Anyone who attacked Fandao Hall saw the blades in Tian Ruoleng and Yue Wulan’s hands—both were incredibly powerful Royal Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Even Spirit-Martial Realm warriors with Mystical Weapons believed those two blades outclassed even Mystical Weapons in strength.

Indeed, the Frostcloud Blade and Willow Crescent Blade were forged from top-tier Mystical Weapon materials and forged by the Nine Yang Divine Hammer.

In terms of durability, they easily outmatched many ordinary Mystical Weapons.

Before long, a month had flown by!

In the Blade-Sword Battle rankings, Fandao Hall stood first with 166 points!

The following month, it was Fandao Hall’s turn to attack!

This left many on edge.

Because Fandao Hall’s battle power was formidable, especially with Qin Yun, Tian Ruoleng, and Yue Wulan wielding such powerful weapons.

...

At night, Qin Yun sat in the main room, drinking tea.

Tian Ruoleng was maintaining her Frostcloud Blade.

"Tomorrow, it’s our turn to attack. Which sword academy should we challenge first—Sharp Edge Sword Academy, Azure Thunder Sword Academy, or Celestial Sword Academy?"

Yue Wulan beamed with excitement.

Tian Ruoleng looked at Qin Yun and said, "Xiao Yun (lit. 'Little Yun'), you decide!"

"In the morning, we attack Celestial Sword Academy; in the afternoon, we attack Azure Thunder Sword Academy!" Qin Yun said, "Celestial Sword Academy has a martial artist from the Long family. We must take him out quickly to prevent him from escaping."

"These scoundrels from Azure Thunder Sword Academy, they beat us so badly back then. Now it's their turn to pay!" Tian Ruoleng looked at the sharp blade, his face cold and stern.

Yue Wulan frowned slightly and asked, "Will they run away?"

"They shouldn't! No one can leave Sword and Blade Manor right now. If anyone misses the Sword and Blade Defense Competition, they will face severe punishment, even imprisonment and torture."

Qin Yun had already inquired about this with Xiong Dao.

Now, they could attack the sword academies without worry.

"Long Wuchen and Yang Mutian are in the same academy as Sword Blind. Should we attack?" Yue Wulan said, "This Sword Blind is very difficult to deal with!"

"We don't need to deal with Sword Blind. Our main targets are Long Wuchen and Yang Mutian!" Qin Yun said, "If we let Sword Blind win a couple of points, so what? We have plenty of points!"

"The end is near for Long Wuchen and Yang Mutian!" A cold smile appeared on Tian Ruoleng's beautiful, tanned face.

She had been oppressed by the Long and Yang families, and she hated their arrogant offspring to the bone.

...

Dawn broke, and in the area where the Blade Hall was located, there was a square.

All the blade academies gathered in the square today.

They were preparing to draw lots, and once they got a number, they would choose the sword academy they wanted to attack according to that number.

Upon their arrival, Tian Ruoleng, Yue Wulan, and Qin Yun instantly became the center of attention in the entire gathering!

Over the past month, their reputation had intimidated many sword halls!

It must be noted that the blade halls had always been the lowest-ranked in Sword and Blade Manor.

Yet now, Fandao Hall's crushing victories over numerous sword halls had fired up many blade hall teachers and disciples.

Now, it was finally the blade halls' turn to attack the sword halls!

Disciples from the Royal Institute, members of the Alchemy Hall, and people from the Miraculous Patterns Hall had all arrived early at the blade hall's plaza.

They wanted to see which sword hall Fandao Hall would take on first!

Everyone wished to witness firsthand how Fandao Hall would make their move, as the process was bound to be spectacular.

This month was also known as Revenge Month!

Previously, many blade hall disciples had been beaten down and bullied by the sword halls.

Now, it was finally the blade halls' turn to fight back!

"The auction for the first pick begins now, starting at one million!" Xiong Dao announced. [Note: Name retained as is due to lack of glossary confirmation.]

"Two million!" Qin Yun's calm voice suddenly rang out.

Purchasing the first pick was just to take down their rivals faster!

Having previously won 1.5 billion purple crystal coins from the Long family, Qin Yun couldn't care less about the cost now.

Many people from Fandao Hall knew that Qin Yun and his disciples were hell-bent on revenge.

Moreover, Fandao Hall had earned respect for the Blade Halls, so no one competed with them in the auction.

In truth, many disciples of Fandao Hall were barely scraping by.

Generally speaking, disciples who wielded swords mostly came from prominent noble families.

Each time they passed the trials, there were always more sword users than blade users.

Every Sword Hall had more disciples than any Fandao Hall.

When it came to recruitment, Fandao Hall was at a significant disadvantage.

Thus, during defensive battles, many Fandao Halls were overrun.
