Chapter 377: Xiao Shou’s Ninth Sword Technique

The Gou Family Patriarch then spoke in an arrogant and shameless tone. "Sect Master Lu, the Eternal Prosperity Sect has several direct descendants of my Gou Family participating in this competition. According to the rules of my Gou Family, unless they have been expelled from the family and their names removed from the family registry, they will always be members of the Gou Family. Therefore, their achievements in this competition should naturally belong to the Gou Family."

Xiao Shou was so disgusted by his shamelessness that he could not stand it.

Before Lu Wuchen could say anything, he immediately gave a cold laugh. "Patriarch Gou, you have only mentioned the rules of your Gou Family. Have you ever asked about the rules of my Eternal Prosperity Sect?"

Gou Guangyan, who had originally planned to find Fu Young and discuss the matter because of the Gou Family Patriarch’s interference, immediately stopped when he saw his Sect Master step forward. So, he decided to wait and see how things developed.

"What do the rules of the Eternal Prosperity Sect have to do with my Gou Family?" The Gou Family Patriarch replied arrogantly. "Since they are members of the Gou Family, they were raised by the Gou Family. It is only natural that they serve the Gou Family."

"Hmph! How could it have nothing to do with us?" Xiao Shou’s expression became cold.

"The rule of the Eternal Prosperity Sect is simple. Everything is decided by me. Whatever I say is the rule. I say they are disciples of the Eternal Prosperity Sect, so they are disciples of my sect. Even if they bear the surname Gou, they have absolutely nothing to do with your Gou Family. Do you understand? If yes, then get lost."

In an instant, the entire venue erupted into an uproar. No one had expected that the Sect Master of the small Eternal Prosperity Sect would dare speak to the Gou Family Patriarch like this, actually telling him to get lost. How domineering and arrogant! He completely showed no regard for the Gou Family Patriarch.

Amid the commotion, the Sect Masters of the Nine Great Sects began secretly communicating with one another.

"He looks like such a good natured person. I didn’t expect him to have such a temper when he gets angry."

"Indeed. I wonder how he’ll fare when things get serious."

"He’s a medical cultivator. No matter how you look at it, he shouldn’t be able to defeat the Gou Family Patriarch."

"But if the Gou Family Patriarch defeats him, those two seniors might immediately intervene."

"I heard that unlike the seniors from our sects who descended to the Lower Realm at great risk, those two can descend whenever they want."

"Wow. That’s quite impressive."

As the nine Sect Masters continued discussing the matter, the Gou Family Patriarch’s expression became increasingly ugly. He had always been the one acting domineeringly toward others and had never been treated with such arrogance himself.

He became so furious that he laughed. "You’re nothing more than a shameless brat relying on your elders. And you still dare to make such empty boasts?"

"You think everyone is like you, someone who only gained the qualifications to stand here by inheriting his family’s position?" Xiao Shou’s anger caused him to unconsciously release the spiritual energy sealing his facial nerves and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. "I’m different from you. I founded the Eternal Prosperity Sect myself, and I earned my position here entirely through my own ability. The difference between us is obvious, isn’t it, Patriarch Gou?"

When the Gou Family Patriarch heard this, his face immediately turned livid. "Shut up, you shameless brat! A mere medical cultivator actually dares to boast like this. If it weren’t for your grandfather, I would have executed you on the spot today."

"Hmph! Execute me? You?" Xiao Shou sneered. "By the way, who told you that I’m a medical cultivator? For someone like you, do you really think my grandfather needs to take action? I can deal with you whenever I want."

Xiao Shou immediately stood up and stepped toward the front of the platform. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Dark Night Spirit Sword and tossed it into the air.

At the same time, the spiritual energy throughout his body erupted violently and surged straight into the heavens.

In the next instant, the Dark Night Spirit Sword floating above him suddenly became surrounded by endless spiritual energy. The spiritual energy condensed into an incomparably enormous black sword filled with majestic might.

The massive sword stood upright in the sky, its tip pointing directly downward. Its hilt and blade seemed to appear and disappear among the white clouds, radiating an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura that seemed capable of dominating everything.

Xiao Shou raised his sword pointing hand toward the Gou Family Patriarch. His lips parted slightly as he said, "Descend! My ninth self created sword technique, the Sword of Zlatibor!"

With Xiao Shou’s declaration, the ninth form of his self created sword technique, the Sword of Zlatibor, descended directly toward the Patriarch of the Gou family.

Using the Dark Night Spirit Sword as its foundation, Xiao Shou had created this technique based on his memories of the anime he had watched before transmigrating. However, the destructive aura it now possessed was far more powerful than anything shown in the anime.

As the massive sword descended, the immense airflow caused by its tremendous speed ignited into fierce sparks. The surrounding spiritual energy continuously exploded under the pressure.

High above, where Tushan Qing was watching.

"Whoa! That’s scared me!" Tushan Qing had been happily drinking wine and watching the excitement from above. When he saw his precious grandson’s top-grade spirit sword being thrown into the air, mysterious spiritual patterns suddenly appeared across its surface.

Before he could fully understand the profound meaning behind those patterns, he felt all the spiritual energy around him surging toward the sword.

At such close range, even someone with his cultivation could feel the spiritual energy within his body faintly stirring.

This shocked him.

A cultivator’s instincts immediately told him to retreat outside the range covered by the spiritual patterns.

He then watched as those patterns rapidly absorbed enormous amounts of spiritual energy from the surroundings.
