I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"You... you're too arrogant!"

The divine talent covers his face with both hands, feeling like his head was bloating.

"Anyone else not convinced? Step forward!"

Xu Yan coldly looked at the clamoring crowd.

There was a silence outside the City Lord's Mansion!

Too arrogant!

When had there ever been such an audacious person in Yuntian City, who dared to rant in front of the City Lord's Mansion?

"Great Commander, as the one responsible for maintaining order in the City Lord's Mansion, why don't you capture this impudent fellow? What is the dignity of our Yuntian City?"

The elder of the beaten divine prodigy now spoke up, emanating indignation.

The Great Commander of the City Lord's Mansion also wore a helpless expression. Why was this young man so audacious? Not only did he openly assault someone, but he also dared to spew such bold words.

Had he not seen him together with that lad Xie Lingfeng, he would have dealt with him right then and there.

However, given the current circumstances, he had no choice but to intervene. The matter of how to punish him would be left to the City Lord to decide. freewebnσvel.cѳm

After all, this issue involved his own grandson.

"Yuntian City's rules: In front of the City Lord's Mansion, no one is allowed to fight, to engage in martial arts, or to hurt people. You have violated Yuntian City's rules. Come with me,"

The Great Commander stepped forward, speaking with just righteousness.

Xu Yan glanced at him disdainfully, "Rules are meant to restrain the weak. They are useless for the strong. What kind of crappie rule is this? It doesn't apply to me!"

The scene grew quiet again.

The onlookers were dumbfounded. The Great Commander had stepped in, yet the other party still remained so arrogant?

Was he just relying on his relationship with Xie Lingfeng?

This was the Great Commander of the City Lord's Mansion, a powerful figure who maintained the order of Yuntian City in public. How could he be so provocative?

Xie Lingfeng also felt a little numb on his scalp. He couldn't help communicating through spirit: "Brother Xu, give me a heads up, how strong are you? Can you withstand it?"

Although he knew Xu Yan would not act so recklessly without confidence, he was still a little uneasy.

"No big deal. My strength is quite good, it should be no problem to hold your grandfather down and beat him up on the ground."

Xu Yan replied through spirit.

"That's good, that's good!"

Xie Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

The Great Commander chuckled, "Young man, rules are rules. Because you are powerful, can you just disregard them?"

"Rules are made by the powerful to maintain order. Whether to abide by them depends on the mood of the powerful. Do you think your City Lord would also comply with these rules?"

Xu Yan replied calmly.

"Of course! Our City Lord has always been the one to lead by example in adhering to the rules!"

The Great Commander declared solemnly.

Even if the City Lord has the power to ignore the rules, he couldn't openly admit it.

Xu Yan scoffed, "That's your City Lord. He hasn't encountered any challenges. If he has, he can still keep this stupid rule. There's only one reason for that."

"Oh, what's the reason?"

Curious, the Great Commander raised an eyebrow.

"The reason is simple. Your City Lord is too weak and can only cowardly abide by the rules."

Xu Yan said indifferently.

The Great Commander felt a bit uncomfortable. This young man was too outrageous, disregarding even the City Lord. Did he not know that the current City Lord was the most powerful of all the recent generations of City Lords?

The onlookers were taken aback. Where did this young man come from?

Right in front of the City Lord's Mansion, he was so arrogant, disregarding even the City Lord?

"You are being contemptuous! Are the City Lord's dignity and Majesty something you dare to insult?"

The Great Commander shouted angrily, his aura flaring up. The might of the powerful who managed to condense the Heaven and Earth Laws' breath could not be doubted at this moment.

He had initially planned to delay time, waiting for the mother of Xie Lingfeng, the beloved daughter of the City Lord, Fu Yun, to bail them out. However, he did not see her shadow at all. Instead, this young man had started disrespecting even the City Lord.

At this moment, he had no choice but to take action.

"You are too weak. I advise you not to make a move."

Xu Yan shook his head.

"This commander is weak?"

The Great Commander's face turned red. He raised his hand and condensed a Heaven and Earth Law power, transforming it into a giant hand aiming at Xu Yan.

"Young man, state your name, let me see how you..."

Before the Great Commander could finish, Xu Yan raised his hand and pointed a finger, a burst of sword light emerged, completely obliterating the giant hand.

Following that, Xu Yan took a step forward and in an instant, he was standing in front of the Great Commander.

Not good!

The Great Commander's face changed drastically. How could this youth be so powerful?

He seemed to be only in his twenties!

He roared angrily, unleashing his fists with a momentum that seemed to roll over everything. Three mysterious auras circled around him, converging the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws into a formidable attack.

Yet Xu Yan was eerily calm, his palm shooting out directly. This palm seemed to cover all rivers and mountains, and in a blink, a river and mountains emerged, engulfing the Great Commander's attack. Then, the scenery morphed again, with the mountains and rivers covering the Great Commander himself.

Booming noise!

In this moment, the Great Commander was horrified to find that he was unable to gather the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws.

It was as if he was being obstructed!

Unless, he could break through this obstruction, he wouldn't be able to gather the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws!

What cultivation technique was this?

Before he could respond, a hand had already reached in, grabbing his collar and hoisting him up.

"I told you, you are too weak."

The Great Commander's face turned red, his body's strength completely confined, without any resistance left.

Xu Yan nodded satisfactorily, his strategy indeed was correct. He just needed to use the Mountain-and-River Sword Intent to form a blockade which could prevent Ling Domain martial artists from gathering the power of Heaven and Earth Laws, thus significantly weakening their powers.

Even if it only lasted for a moment, this moment was enough to decide victory or defeat, life or death.

Of course, this could only be achieved because Xu Yan's Mountain-and-River Sword Dao was already powerful and condensed, and because the Great Commander underestimated him without expecting that his Heavenly and Earthly Laws power could be blocked.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye, from the Great Commander attacking, to being captured by Xu Yan.

When the onlookers recovered, they were all in immense shock.

The Great Commander had actually been captured?

And he seemed powerless to resist!

Who was this young man, why was he so powerful?

Even the genius whose swollen cheek Xu Yan had slapped was stunned right now; he totally forgot about the pain. After all, even the Great Commander couldn't resist, who was he to resist Xu Yan?

That he could still keep his life was entirely Xu Yan's mercy.

"Who are you?"

The Great Commander's face turned dark.

"Sword God Xu Yan!"

Xu Yan replied with a smile.

He took the Great Commander and Xie Lingfeng together into City Lord's Manor, and then casually released the former.

"Brother Xie, let's go!"

Xu Yan said with a smile.

"Okay!"

Xie Lingfeng nodded.

In his heart, he couldn't help but marvel at Xu Yan, still as formidable as ever. Whether it was the Inner Domain or the Ling Domain, Xu Yan's power remained unmatched.

"Sword God Xu Yan?"

The Great Commander was dumbstruck, goosebumps appearing on his skin as he thought of a certain individual.

A formidable prodigy who once challenged outside the Thousand Martial Hall and had publicly snatched away from their Protecting Divine Artifact.

He had actually come to Yuntian city?

And he directly fought people in the City Lord's manor!

That was very much in line with Xu Yan's usual style. He dared to challenge at the gate of Thousand Martial Hall years ago, now after these years, his strength was terrifying. Beating people in the City Lord's manor was no surprise.

Killing people would be considered insignificant!

Outside the City Lord's Manor, the onlookers were taken aback.

"Sword God Xu Yan? Wouldn't the Sword King explode in anger if he heard this title?"

Someone whispered.

"What do you know? Sword God Xu Yan is the unique prodigy of the Eighteen States, who once dared to challenge at the gate of the Thousand Martial Hall, and snatched the Divine Artifact in front of the Thousand Martial Hall's strong men."

"No wonder there's such a madman, so it's Xu Yan. That makes sense."

"Actually, I had already guessed it. Looking at the entire Ling Domain, the only person who could be so mad is Xu Yan, I can't think of a second one."

"Xu Yan has actually come to Yuntian City and seems to have a deep relationship with Xie Lingfeng, the dormant genius. This is going to be exciting!"

"Do you think the city lord will step in and suppress Xu Yan for his provocation?"

"It won't happen. If the city lord tries to suppress Xu Yan and succeeds, he'll be accused of bullying the weak. If it fails, he'll lose face. Why take the risk?"

"You're bold, daring to question the City Lord's strength!"

...

News of Xu Yan, who once proclaimed himself the greatest in the Sword Dao, blockaded the gate of Thousand Martial Hall to challenge their experts and who took their Divine Artifact, not caring about any rules, had arrived in Yuntian City of Azure Sea, spread like wildfire!

Gradually, rumors began to circulate that Xu Yan came to suppress the Azure Sea geniuses, intending to let the world of Ling Domain know that he was the supreme genius!

As the news spread, the Azure Sea Geniuses were enraged!

However, Xu Yan's strength, which was shown when he took down the Great Commander, left many Azure Sea geniuses feeling deflated. They really couldn't beat him!

But there were nonetheless some unsatisfied geniuses who wanted to challenge Xu Yan.
