chapter 96.1

Murong Luguang’s face twitched uncontrollably! Of all the East Wolf Hall’s battle techniques, the Demon Slaying Draw Strike was the most difficult to master; he had spent a long time learning it. Hardly anyone could have matched up to the detailed intricacies of the technique.

But how did it become just an out-and-in affair when coming from Wang Ke’s mouth? Your bloody eyes must be blind. The Demon Slaying Draw Strike is an ingenious move. Do you really think it’s that simple?

“Wang Ke, don’t talk nonsense!” Even Chen Tianyuan couldn’t take it anymore.

There were too many eyes watching his disciple speaking nonsense. You are my disciple, and I’m known for my sword skills. You still haven’t grasped the basic principles of the sword, aren’t you disgracing me?

“It truly is very simple. Revered Teacher, I’ve been practicing the sword skill you taught me. With such an easy move, how would I not know it?” Wang Ke said it as if it were a matter of course.

Chen Tianyuan: “……………….!”

“Okay, fine. Come, junior brother Wang Ke, show us then! Let me see how easy it is!” Murong Luguang handed over the Righteous-Qi Sword while bubbling with rage.

“Wang Ke!” Chen Tianyuan wanted to stop his disciple—

But Wang Ke had already grabbed the Righteous-Qi Sword; he was acting as if he would simply draw and sheath the sword. Damn it. I’ll become the world’s laughingstock if you perform poorly!

“Sect Lord, junior brother Wang Ke wants to test the sword. Please don’t stop him; all of us heard what he said!” Murong Luguang said.

And so, Chen Tianyuan could only watch his disciple with a deep frown.

The nearby Zhang Zhengdao could hardly bear to look at Wang Ke. Wang Ke’s sword skills? Zhang Zhengdao had never seen Wang Ke practice with swords; at best he had only seen him fight with words! But those were two completely different things!

Wang Ke looked at Murong Luguang and the others. “I only grasped the hilt for a short while when I was tested for demonic Qi a moment ago; now I need to test it first… is this really durable? It looks quite luxurious; what if it breaks?”

“The Righteous-Qi Sword will never break; you can try with everything you have!” Murong Luguang affirmed.

“For real?” Wang Ke was still doubtful.

“Even if it’s broken, you don’t need to make up for it. Count it on me!” Murong Luguang urged.

“Okay then, I will give it a try. I still remember your movements when you drew the sword!” Wang Ke stepped forward with the Righteous-Qi Sword in hand.

Everyone’s attention was set on Wang Ke.

“Oh yeah, was your left foot placed in front? Or was it the right?” Wang Ke asked, looking at Murong Luguang.

Murong Luguang: “…………………..!”

“Forget it; it doesn’t matter. I’m going to start! Keep your eyes peeled!” Wang Ke preempted.

No one had any expectations in regards to Wang Ke’s Demon Slaying Draw Strike. How can he learn it by merely observing once?If you can do that, then how did we fail to learn it after trying so hard?Are we idiots then?

Even Chen Tianyuan and Zhang Zhengdao expected Wang Ke to fail. It was just that Wang Ke insisted on making a fool out of himself, and Chen Tianyuan was unable to stop him. Sigh!Forget it. It’s better to fail in front of our own sect than to do it outside.

And right at that moment—a strange aura covered Wang Ke’s surroundings.

“Whoosh!”

A gust of air swept up the leaves near Wang Ke and made them swirl around him. This scene looked rather familiar.

Everyone’s jaw dropped. Isn’t that how Murong Luguang channeled his energy?Is he charging up for the Demon Slaying Draw Strike?

“How… How is this possible?” Murong Luguang peeled his eyes in bewilderment.

Wang Ke’s foot placement was wrong, but the aura felt similar! Why!

And so, Wang Ke continuously channeled the turbid essence Qi into the Righteous-Qi Sword.

Zhang Zhengdao was shocked by Wang Ke’s actions.

The sword drawing move seemed to be correct. Most importantly, your essence Qi is the problem! Everyone will faint from the stench if you release it!Is Wang Ke going to unleash his ultimate move?

“Sect Lord, I think you should move back a little!” Zhang Zhengdao hinted at Chen Tianyuan awkwardly.

“Why?” the latter asked.

What’s with Zhang Zhengdao?He looked down on Wang Ke’s sword skills a moment ago. What’s happening now? Why is he asking me to move away？Do you really think I would get hurt?

“It’s better to backtrack some more! Everyone, move back. Really, it’s for your good!” Zhang Zhengdao warned everyone patiently.

I’m not worried about Wang Ke hurting you with the sword! I’m just worried that you won’t be able to withstand the smell.It took Wang Ke a lot of effort to garner some popularity for the God Wang Company. We can’t let the odor chase them away;I’m still waiting to rake in money!

Unfortunately, no one listened to Zhang Zhengdao; they continued to look at Wang Ke.

That channeled energy looked exactly the same as Murong Luguang’s.

And then, Wang Ke’s eyes opened and he drew his sword.

“Tsssshing!”

A white flash blinded everyone.

“Booooom!”

Following a loud explosion, Wang Ke’s slash opened a thirty-meter trench in the ground ahead of him.

“The Demon Slaying Draw Strike?” Murong Luguang cried out in shock.

Meanwhile, Wang Ke’s sword has already returned to its sheath.

The trench in front of Wang Ke was only half a meter deep, far shallower than Murong Luguang’s. Still, even though Wang Ke was far too inferior in terms of prowess, the move was performed correctly.

Even Murong Luguang admitted it was the right move. That served as confirmation!

“Junior brother Wang Ke, you actually learned the Demon Slaying Draw Strike too. There’s no issue then, hahaha!” Tie Liuyun said with a burst of laughter.

“How could this be? How could this be!” Murong Luguang shouted in bewilderment, “I spent a long time learning that move; how is it that you know it too? And you learned it just by watching it once? Impossible. You must have trained for many years too, right?”

One of the disciples questioned, “Eldest apprentice-brother, are you sure you saw correctly? Did Wang Ke really use the Demon Slaying Draw Strike? It looked similar, but it was far too weak. Look at the pit you made; the horrifying power of your slash even produced flames! And the pit looks bottomless; but Wang Ke’s is barely half a meter deep, and without the flame!”
