Chapter 1229: Nine Descending Suns Shaking The Soul

Longfei looked furious!

The reason was that this unappreciative Junior Brother of his had not given him any face. This had resulted in him losing the Young Master's trust. Longfei had painstaking exhausted all sorts of means in order to regain the trust of this Young Master.

"Junior Brother, let's finish this quickly. You still have 9 more challenges. Ha ha! It will be really disgraceful for the Songyang Sword Sect if you can't even hold up your sword in the end!"

Longfei sneered snidely at Yu Mo.

Yu Mo appeared to be indifferent, but everyone knew how nervous he was based on the way his hands were shaking.

Although he had mastered the technique imparted by his Ancestral Master and was able to execute the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique, he was still very nervous.

Now, the burden of the entire sect had fallen on his shoulders. This was the first time he'd ever felt such heavy pressure.

"Longfei, you... you go ahead!" Yu Mo didn't address Longfei as Senior Brother anymore, which was a show of his determination.

However, Longfei was delighted to see Yu Mo stammering and guffawing. "Don't be so nervous, little Junior Brother!"

Then, he raised his sword and said, "Come on, you can attack first to avoid others saying that I, your Senior Brother, bullied you and never even gave you the chance to make a move!"

Longfei didn't just want to shame Yu Mo. He also hoped to leave a good impression on the Young Master.

Hence, he spared no effort in humiliating Yu Mo and instead went overboard.

Luo Yunyang was lying in bed but he was also watching the battle using a tiny trace of his spirit consciousness. Although his body was able to move already, this place was indeed a good location to recuperate.

Furthermore, Luo Yunyang had taken a liking to the ever-talkative Yu Mo.

This fellow was really courting death!

"Take this!" Yu Mo slashed out after calming down and used everything his cultivation base was capable of doing.

Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique!

The Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique had surpassed all the other techniques in the Songyang Sword Sect after Luo Yunyang had made some changes to it. It could be said that even the Shenwu Sect, who was the superior affiliate sect of the Songyang Sword Sect, had no techniques like that.

Although Yu Mo could only execute a tiny bit of its true might, it had still been imparted by Luo Yunyang personally. Hence, as Yu Mo's sword-light was sent out, a scorching sun descended from the sky and began barreling down toward Longfei forcefully.

Longfei behaved as though he was an elite and casually stood in the same spot. He had never considered Yu Mo a match. In his opinion, Yu Mo was merely a Junior Brother with a much weaker cultivation.

In the past, there had already been a huge disparity between them. Joining Longyue Manor meant that the gulf between them must have widened. During this period, he had also received advice from many powerhouses as a trusted servant of the Young Master and had even become an inner sect disciple of Longyue Manor.

He couldn't just win this time. He had to win fast and make the Young Master feel that he did it in a very convincing and easy manner. Only doing so would reflect better on his value as a subordinate.

However, just as he was pondering how to do so best, the scorching sun came and shrouded him.

He felt his soul shuddering in fear in the face of the scorching sun and could not come up with any form of resistance.

As the scorching sun descended, it loomed above Longfei's head in an instant. Longfei would die instantly if the scorching sun crashed into him.

Longfei was scared stiff and could not even move an inch. Deacon Li, the Young Master, and the others all watched on in disbelief.

Deacon Li's level of cultivation wasn't quick enough to allow him to intervene. Fortunately, the elder beside the Young Master stepped forward all of a sudden and gestured at Longfei's location. As a result, the elder was able to pull Longfei back to him.

However, the scorching sun continued to move toward Longfei even though he was being pulled back by the elder.

"How dare you!" The elder rebuked him angrily because he had been stopped while trying to save someone's life. He moved his palms and smacked at the scorching sun again.

The elder's cultivation was at the initial stage of the Universe Grade so he was considered a high-level martialist in this region. He wouldn't have intervened if he hadn't believed that Longfei was a good prospect.

The scorching sun collided with the violent palm strike in the void. In an instant, the palm strike containing the elder's will was split in two by the scorching sun.

The scorching sun continued along its way and headed toward the elder. When the elder was about to send out another palm strike, he realized that the scorching sun had gotten very close to him!

However, it landed silently on the ground and vanished!

The elder, who pulled Longfei back, was shocked because the murderous intent hidden within the scorching sun was actually able to strike fear in his heart.

At the same time, one of his sleeves fell to the ground. Although only a small part was severed by the sword, the elder was still disgraced.

Everyone turned to look at the elder at once. Many of them knew the elder and were aware of his status in Longyue Manor.

His status was vastly superior to Yu Mo, but even so, his sleeve had been cut off by Yu Mo's sword.

This sort of disgrace would definitely affect the reputation of the elder once it spread. However, more people were staring at Yu Mo.

In their eyes, he was merely a teenager who had overestimated himself!

Yu Mo stood rooted to the spot, gawking at the situation. He was feeling very hopeful while cultivating the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique. He had been hopeful that he might defeat his opponent in one fell swoop with the technique passed down by his Ancestral Master.

However, he had no idea how powerful the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique was. Hence, he was completely shocked by the might of the scorching sun he had used.

Did I really defeat Senior Brother Longfei? Is my Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique really that formidable?

Luo Yunyang was observing Yu Mo. His lips curled upward when he saw Yu Mo look dumbfounded. That kid loved to talk a lot but was actually left speechless by this important situation.

"Elder Zheng!" The Young Master was the first to break the silence, as he was immediately concerned about Elder Zheng.

Although Elder Zheng was nominally the bodyguard of the Young Master, he was more like a teacher of the Young Master. Otherwise, Elder Zheng would not have stepped forward to help Longfei.

"Don't worry, Young Master." Elder Zheng then turned to Yu Mo. "Young man, your technique is very strange. I have never seen such a technique that comes straight from the Great Path nomological law. I wonder if you can enlighten me."

Yu Mo froze momentarily. He was tongue-tied and did not know what to say, but Longfei interrupted him loudly. "This... This is the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique. The Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique!"

The Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique wasn't a secret in the Songyang Sword Sect. Any disciple of the Songyang Sword Sect could get hold of the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique and try to cultivate it.

Many of the disciples even dreamed of comprehending the supreme technique left behind by their Ancestral Master and soaring to greater heights. However, this remained merely a dream, as it wasn't easy to realize.

Longfei had also tried to comprehend the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique before but had not spent much time on it. In the end, he had concluded that this cultivation technique was purely a waste of time.

However, he had not expected that he would be defeated by the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique during such an opportunity to perform.

"Did I win this one... or not?" Yu Mo finally reacted to the situation as he looked at Deacon Li and spoke nervously.

Deacon Li had not expected that such a supreme technique would appear in a failing sect either.

Although he did not know about the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique, he could see that it was definitely not inferior to some of their top cultivation techniques in the Shenwu Sect.

Hence, he felt joy for a moment.

While the cultivation technique of Yu Mo wasn't that bad, his cultivation level was only at the Star Grade. The Shenwu Sect would definitely reward him considerably if he recruited such a talented young martialist into their sect.

After pondering this for a moment, he turned to Yu Mo and said, "That's right, you just won this battle!"

Longfei's face darkened right away when he heard what Deacon Li said. He knew how much the Young Master wanted to take over the Songyang Sword Sect, so he had made up his mind to give the Songyang Sword Sect to the Young Master.

Now, he couldn't even help the Young Master take down the Songyang Sword Sect and had even lost his only opportunity to do so.

How was he going to establish himself as a worthy subordinate of the Young Master from now on?

"This battle doesn't count because I was not ready yet. I..."

Deacon Li frowned when he heard that. Although he was only a lowly figure in the Shenwu Sect, his authority wasn't something these subsidiary sects could challenge.

While Deacon Li felt upset because of Longfei's response, the Young Master slapped Longfei across the face and cursed bitterly. "Wretched being! Do you think you're qualified to question Deacon Li's decision?"

Deacon Li felt much better after hearing what the Young Master said and replied with a faint smile, "Young Master, you don't have to do this. This junior brother was too hard on himself. I believe he will learn the error of his ways soon."

After he said that, he looked at Yu Mo and said, "Young man, your sword technique is pretty decent. I am Deacon Li of the Shenwu Sect and I confirm your victory. You also get to keep your sect."

Yu Mo was ecstatic. Although he tried to keep calm, everyone present could still see the happiness on his face.

At the same time, Deacon Li added, "Yu Mo, the Sect Master of the Shenwu Sect has always liked to accept young geniuses. Would you like to be a disciple of our sect?"

This remark immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, including Luo Yunyang!
