On the peak of Cloud Peak, four miles away from Yu Jian Manor, Qing Yu landed with his sword, looking at the old figure sitting cross-legged on a large rock.

"Was it you who stunned the people of Yu Jian Manor?"

"It was me." The old man opened his eyes, revealing azure blue pupils. "Xiao Qianxiu, it has been ten years. Once again, for the last time, I am asking if you will hand over the Heavenly Talent Fragment?"

In his azure eyes, there was an unwavering determination. This final question was also the last ultimatum; Xiao Qianxiu, whether willing or not, would have to hand over the Heavenly Talent Fragment.

"You're quite resolute," Qing Yu chuckled lightly, "is it because you finally found a suitable candidate? It seems this time, you all are determined to succeed. But what can I gain by handing over the Heavenly Talent Fragment?"

"Xiao Qianxiu! Do not be so presumptuous," the old man shouted angrily, raising his eyebrows, "Your Xiao Family caused a crack in the seal of Sword God Lake back then, forcing us to withdraw from this sacred place of Sword Dao. Now, it is time for your Xiao Family to make amends. This is the last chance, do not force me to take action!"

"Ha, based on what?" Qing Yu scoffed.

Although he was not Xiao Qianxiu, he would never let go of the Heavenly Talent Fragment. Moreover, Qing Yu had a slight disdain for these old men who placed all their hopes on others.

He might not be a Sword Dao fanatic, but he knew that no matter the path you take, when you place your hopes on others, your Martial Arts is already a mess.

"Based on me, by my name 'Clear Sky Bixue'." The azure-eyed elder's eyes widened, and a sword momentum descended, causing the surroundings to tremble, with the dust and rocks on Cloud Peak shaking lightly.

"Clear Sky Bixue" Zhong Qingling, the Great Sword Master of Sword God Lake, a famous elder of Sword Dao.

But such a reputation had no effect on Qing Yu.

"Clear Sky Bixue is not enough!"

Sixth Sword·Absolute.

The flying sword shadow instantly struck the figure seated on the boulder, causing it to shatter and burst. A furious howl erupted from the dust, "Xiao Qianxiu!!"

The angry sword swept sideways, and azure sword aura pressed horizontally. Zhong Qingling never imagined that Xiao Qianxiu, who had never dared to be presumptuous in front of him, would dare to make the first move.

Nor had he imagined that the current Xiao Qianxiu was no longer the Xiao Qianxiu of the past.

Qing Yu was fearless, the Execution Sword left his hand, swirling to gather boundless sword momentum. When his hand gripped the sword again, the chaotic Sword Qi condensed into a large Execution sword shadow, which shot out.

Sword Eight·Extreme.

"Boom——"

Sword aura collided, with fierce Sword Qi stirring up Feng Yun, causing Sword Qi to soar on Cloud Peak.

"Fourth Sword·Destruction."

Yet another move, the Execution was guided by True Qi, dancing and gathering Sword Qi, suddenly penetrating the ground, as sharp swords from below greeted the charging figure.

"Bishui Breaking Cloud."

The azure sword aura swept across, with the man moving along with his sword. Those sharp swords were all swept away by the sword aura, as the azure-eyed elder rushed forth with his sword.

"Clang——"

The Execution Sword clashed with a blue-green sword, an ear-piercing sword cry, and the incessant battle of Sword Qi reflected the determination in their Sword Intent.

"Back in the day, I dueled Nangong Duanjian, yet this junior dares to be reckless!!"

"Ha, taking a loss as an honor, such is the so-called predecessor."

The clash of dual swords echoed repeatedly, and sometimes the Sword Qi reached the skies, attesting to the fierce battle between them.

"Sword Opening Heavy Mountains."

Zhong Qingling soared into the clouds, his sword momentum soared through the clouds, and the unmatched Sword Qi slashed straight down.

"The Xiao Family members are all guilty, today I shall make you atone for the sins your Xiao Family has committed."

"Obsessed with the past, just as I said, you are nothing too special!"

The Execution sword traversed a mysterious sword path, Qing Yu's figure split into four residual shadows, each executing different sword paths before returning to his body, "Sky-breaking Flying Annihilation."

The combination of Sword One to Sword Four, the soaring sword shadows charged at the sword aura from above, the clash sounded again, amidst the rampant Sword Qi, the sword shadows pierced through the sword aura, directly attacking the azure-eyed elder.

"This is impossible, you are not Xiao Qianxiu!"

Zhong Qingling cried out in disbelief, twirling his Green Blood Cloud Sword to dispel the remaining sword shadows.

"Xiao Qianxiu couldn't be this strong!"

The strength of the current figure clashed with his previous impression, creating a thought of disbelief in Zhong Qingling's mind.

"Obsessed with the past, claiming impossibilities. With a powerful enemy in front, yet you are always fixated on irrelevant matters. Zhong Qingling, your resolve was already broken by Nangong Duanjian a hundred and fifty years ago."

Initially seeing the scene at Yu Jian Manor, he thought this was a formidable adversary. But to his surprise, this Great Sword Master of Sword God Lake, though possessing great strength, had an already shattered mental state. Such an opponent was an insult to his entire strength.

"I don't believe it!"

The sword momentum fell from the sky, Qing Yu met it with his sword, drawing his sword edge across, a trace of blood stained the Execution Sword's blade.

Zhong Qingling was injured, the wound was small, but this elder was the first to be injured in a sword fight with a junior.

His azure eyes widened, and the angry Sword Qi billowed his silver hair, but the anger on his face began to ebb.

Zhong Qingling realized that continuing to fight with such a mindset would inevitably lead to his defeat as a renowned Sword Dao master known for centuries.

Whether it was for reputation or to avoid defeat, Zhong Qingling needed to calm down and face this powerful foe.

The sword momentum became steady, no longer as grand and ineffective as before. "Clear Sky Bixue" showcased the strength it should truly have for the first time, the Sword Qi dyeing the sky, turning the nearby clouds entirely azure.

"Blue Sky Green Cloud."

The floating clouds seemed light and powerless, yet the Sword Qi within was terrifying. Tufts of azure sword clouds blew closer, with the endless Sword Intent enveloping Qing Yu.

"Very good, but still useless."

Qing Yu placed his sword vertically behind him, and the sting-ray sword shadow unfolded from his back, his figure rotating, and eight sword shadows shredded the azure sword clouds. The competing Sword Qi shot forth from behind Qing Yu, countless sharp swords shot out, shredding the sword clouds, and pushed towards Zhong Qingling.

The sword posture was fantastical and exquisite, with countless transformations of sword forms. This was precisely the move of the Four Swords Unification—Xuanzhen Jue Xu.

Zhong Qingling blocked with sweeping swords, chaos of Sword Qi ensued, yet it was hard to ward off the endless sharp swords, as his body showed marks of swords, with azure-tinged blood splattering the sky.

As an elder of Buried Sword Peak, Zhong Qingling had long trained his sword body to be indistinguishable from the Divine Sword in his hand, with even his blood tainted by the color of Sword Qi. But faced with the flying Sword Qi, his aged sword body couldn't withstand it, and was severely wounded immediately.

"Clang——"

A sword chime, and the Green Blood Cloud Sword was deflected, Qing Yu with the Execution Sword in hand, directly penetrating Zhong Qingling's chest.

"Ding——"

The Execution Sword left his hand, pinning Zhong Qingling harshly onto Cloud Peak, the sword edge two feet into the ground, with the end of the sword straight into his chest, leaving not an inch exposed.

Zhong Qingling was defeated, his defeat was inevitable.
