Chapter 836: Establishing Dominance with a Broken Sword

Huh!
Avoiding Meng Yun’s tentative Fire Cloud Blade, Feng Wu Cai Yi spun and moved swiftly, rapidly closing the distance between them to a dangerously close level before slashing with her golden sword.
The blade’s light surged!
“Good timing.”
Meng Yun remained calm, stepping aside to avoid the attack while preparing to use her palm wind to drain Feng Wu Cai Yi’s internal energy…
“You’ve fallen for it!”
But the latter smiled mysteriously and changed tactics mid-swing—just as Meng Yun dodged the blade, the light on the golden sword dimmed, and an astonishing energy surged from Feng Wu Cai Yi. The golden sword paused slightly before switching from a horizontal slash to a downward cut!
At the same time, a powerful force emanated from the sword, causing Meng Yun’s confident movement to stall slightly!
“Not good!!”
Her expression changed as she realized not only was there something strange with the golden sword, but Feng Wu Cai Yi’s swordsmanship also seemed extraordinary, carrying a strange pulling force.
Though it was only a brief pause in her movement, it proved fatal when the blade struck.
In a flash, without hesitation, Meng Yun formed a sword with her right hand, using her black-gold chain glove, which emitted scorching heat, to strike at the deadly golden sword.
Boom!!!!
With a loud explosion, Meng Yun was sent flying…
The attack on the golden sword wasn’t extremely fierce, but its sharpness caused Meng Yun to feel a sharp pain for a moment.
Moreover, her hasty change of tactics left her at a disadvantage, forcing her to retreat to create distance and prevent a repeat of what had just happened.
Feng Wu Cai Yi wasn’t willing to miss such a good opportunity to pursue her.
She followed closely behind!
The golden sword shone brightly, spinning wildly like a turbine as it pushed forward…
Meng Yun’s face was grim as she used the momentum to fly back and create distance, simultaneously firing out palm strikes to counter the approaching blade’s energy!
Their movement speeds were similar—Meng Yun couldn’t shake her off, nor could she close the distance to zero…
Feng Wu Cai Yi wasn’t in a hurry, continuing to advance methodically.
At first, Meng Yun didn’t think much of it, merely feeling lucky to have escaped, thinking Feng Wu Cai Yi was still just an ordinary student, lacking ruthless determination.
In a situation like that, a moment of carelessness or accident could determine life or death!
Unfortunately…
Feng Wu Cai Yi had already missed her chance.
With Meng Yun’s caution, she surely wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
But as time passed, after fifty exchanges of chasing and dodging, Feng Wu Cai Yi still showed no signs of exhaustion, maintaining her momentum steadily, as if she had endless internal energy at her disposal.

Meng Yun sneered inwardly…
An attack as overtly aggressive as Feng Wu Cai Yi’s required several times more internal energy than hers; once her strength ran out, the situation would reverse.
“I’m curious to see what you’ll do next.”
“…”
Feng Wu Cai Yi remained unfazed, continuing her pursuit, using her blade to force Meng Yun to constantly defend herself.
The number of moves quickly exceeded a hundred!
“Crack!!”
A shrill sound of metal shattering echoed.
Meng Yun’s expression changed abruptly; she felt her grip loosen as the black-gold metal chain gloves broke without warning, flying into the air under the next attack.
A faint smile appeared on Feng Wu Cai Yi’s face:
Under the repeated assaults of the Broken Blade Technique, Meng Yun’s weapon finally collapsed completely—destroying her high-grade weapon unnoticed was far easier than killing her to gain battle points.
Meng Yun reacted quickly…
The moment the metal chain gloves broke, she quickly pulled out a long sword wreathed in multicolored light and magical hues from her Qi Bag.
Boom!!!
Due to the suddenness, even with the sword in hand, she couldn’t avoid Feng Wu Cai Yi’s strike. The sword trembled violently, sending her flying along with it.
This time, Feng Wu Cai Yi stopped pursuing her.
Staring at Meng Yun, whose face was pale but not panicked, Feng Wu Cai Yi halted and quickly took out a small green pill from her Qi Bag. She stuffed it into her mouth while staring at the sword in her hand, which now had a tiny crack.
This sword was clearly no high-grade weapon—just an ordinary first-class weapon of the fourth tier…
Having been struck full-force by the Broken Blade Technique in such a hurry, the effect was immediate—the sword developed a crack, ruining its value.
From Meng Yun’s pale, furrowed brows, Feng Wu Cai Yi could tell she wasn’t in a good mood.
“Impressive sword skills…” Meng Yun stopped ten meters away, took a deep breath, slowly raised her head, and spoke coldly, “I never expected that a former underdog of the First-Class Hall—a little girl who couldn’t even defeat my subordinates—would now rank among the top martial artists in the jianghu. It’s truly eye-opening. I’m glad—she truly is my greatest rival.” A martial art capable of destroying a high-grade weapon must be unparalleled. Feng Wu Cai Yi truly deserved Meng Yun’s praise.

The latter lifted her eyelids indifferently and spoke in a heavy, deliberate tone, “On the day when Caiyi Gate perished, I, Fengwu Caiyi, swore in my heart that one day, Yipin Hall would pay for its crimes with blood… Mengyun, your era is coming to an end.”
“You, just you?”
Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Mengyun’s eyes, her face covered in frosty indifference:
“The death or injury of one person means nothing. No single person can control the entire martial world… There are things you, a mere girl, cannot see.”
“…”
Fengwu Caiyi detected the sarcasm in Mengyun’s words and snorted coldly through her nose, retorting with equal sarcasm, “If that’s the case, Fengwu only hopes that the head of Mengyun Hall will give this schoolgirl a chance to continue learning from your wisdom.”
“Smooth-tongued!”
Mengyun snapped coldly, her face still frosty, and waved her hand…
A sharp white light shot out from her hand! A snow-white flying knife!
The white light flashed across Fengwu Caiyi’s forehead like lightning. So fast that Fengwu didn’t have time to react, a streak of tragic blood slid down from her forehead.
“Fengwu!!”
Fengwu Caiyi and Mengyun had always been the focus of attention for Yipin Hall and the Mu family. The situation, where Fengwu Caiyi had been holding the upper hand, had greatly boosted the morale of the Mu family. No one expected Fengwu Caiyi to die suddenly, nor did anyone understand how Mengyun had acted.
“Fengwu!!!!”
As Fengwu Caiyi’s body slowly collapsed before Mengyun, roars filled the battlefield…
The men of Yipin Hall immediately felt immense pressure.
Mengyun, however, cast a cold glance at Fengwu Caiyi’s increasingly blurred body: “I said it before—there are many things beyond your reach.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of fabric slicing through the air came swiftly.
The next moment, a familiar figure that made Mengyun’s pupils narrow slowly became clear near Fengwu Caiyi’s body.
Almost instinctively, Mengyun pulled out a snow-white flying knife from her pouch and quietly tucked it into her sleeve…
