Chapter 1289: It’s My Fault for Not Being Your Match

Song Tiandao’s full-powered attack was incredibly powerful, instantly severing four of the devil’s arms. Even its head was nearly chopped off. After unleashing that attack, Song Tiandao collapsed weakly onto the ground. A look of indignance surfaced in his eyes. He had not imagined that the devil would be able to move slightly before the attack landed, suffering only some injuries instead of being outright killed.

The devils wailed in pain, but the pain also caused it to go berserk. It reached for Song Tiandao in anger with its four remaining arms, completely forgetting Xiang Shaoyun. After releasing the blinding radiance, Xiang Shaoyun had vanished.

Because of that, when he reappeared from an unexpected angle, the devil was caught by complete surprise. Just as the devil’s attack was about to reach Song Tiandao, Xiang Shaoyun’s attack arrived.

Dazzling Sky Sword Technique, sixth stance, Demonstration of Might.

Xiang Shaoyun erupted with all his strength as the Radiant Saint Sword shone with a blinding radiance. The sword cleaved toward the devil with an unstoppable might. At the same time, Xiang Shaoyun released the aura of his saint soul and suppressed the devil, not giving it a chance to escape.

By the time the devil sensed the incoming danger, it could no longer move. After all, it had already sustained heavy injuries. With the restraining effect of light and the suppression of Xiang Shaoyun’s saint soul, this wouldn’t end well for it. Xiang Shaoyun’s sword heavily struck the devil’s head, instantly turning the head into mincemeat. With that, the devil was killed. After killing the devil, Xiang Shaoyun landed on the ground. Apart from his slightly unstable aura, he seemed completely fine.

When Song Tiandao saw that, his pupils shrank as he said, “I lost.”

Of the two, he was the one lying on the ground. Despite having his own unique method of healing himself, the astral energy he had exhausted would take some time to recover. As an upright man, he readily accepted his defeat.

Xiang Shaoyun looked at him and said, “Neither of us lost.”

In truth, if he fought using only his astral energy, he wouldn’t be any better than Song Tiandao. Their battle, which had lasted three days and three nights, was proof of that. Of course, it would be an entirely different story if he were to use his trump cards. He had a feeling Song Tiandao might still have some powerful trump cards hidden, so he had no intention of continuing the battle.

He wanted to have a fight with Song Tiandao, but he didn’t want to kill him. Rather, he respected Song Tiandao as an opponent. If he could have Song Tiandao work for him, there would be no worry that the Ziling Sect wouldn’t rise in power in the future.

However, he knew that a genius like Song Tiandao definitely had an extraordinary origin.

“A loss is a loss. I won’t find any excuses for myself,” said Song Tiandao as he crawled back up. He looked at Xiang Shaoyun and said, “Are you the Xiang Shaoyun who had defeated Dugu Qiubai?”

Xiang Shaoyun raised his brow as he said, “You know me?”

“Years ago during the battle between the four academies, your name had spread far and wide. Apart from you, I can’t think of anyone who can use nine different powers,” said Song Tiandao.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled in a carefree manner. “Haha, so I’m actually quite popular? Brother, that was quite a refreshing fight earlier. Do you have any recent updates on the Devil Hunting Expedition?”

“No, I never pay attention to those things,” replied Song Tiandao flatly.

Xiang Shaoyun was rendered speechless. From Song Tiandao’s words, Xiang Shaoyun concluded that Song Tiandao was someone who only focused on his saber. He naturally wouldn’t pay attention to anything else. Asking this person was simply a waste of time.

Song Tiandao said, “Devil Concubine and Yu Caidie are both looking for you. They even offered a very attractive reward for anyone with information about you.”

Xiang Shaoyun palmed his own forehead and said guiltily, “I actually forgot about them. Do you know where they are?”

“No,” Song Tiandao replied.

“Fine. Continue with your healing. I’m leaving,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He knew that it was pointless to ask more. He was confident he would see them again at the fort after the Devil Hunting Expedition was over.

“I’m Yu Caidie’s fiance,” said Song Tiandao.

Xiang Shaoyun staggered and nearly fell onto the ground.

“Say that again?” Xiang Shaoyun turned around with a murderous look in his eyes.

Yu Caidie was his woman in his previous life. That would remain the same in this life. Nobody could change that. The good impression he had of Song Tiandao vanished completely, replaced by a murderous intent.

Song Tiandao repeated, “I’m Yu Caidie’s fiance.”

“You’ll die,” said Xiang Shaoyun sternly.

His saint soul erupted with power as he focused on Song Tiandao. Any movement would be met with his saber. With his devil blood, when he released his devilish energy, he became much stronger than earlier.

Just as he was about to attack, Song Tiandao said, “You really were hiding your strength. It truly was my defeat.”

Xiang Shaoyun frowned and said, “I don’t have the time to joke around.”

“The Song Clan is indeed going to have a marriage with the Yu Clan. They were also interested. In a way, I’m her fiance. But I hereby give her up,” said Song Tiandao. “It’s my fault for not being your match.”

“Smart choice. You would have lost your head otherwise,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He then spun around and left.

He also finally knew where Song Tiandao came from. Song Clan of the Eastern Pass, an ancient clan that was one of the most powerful organizations in the Eastern Pass. It was a clan on equal footing with the Yu Clan.

Xiang Shaoyun had known about the Song Clan since his previous life. They were famed for their saber techniques, but he had not encountered them in his previous life.

After all, members of that clan had always maintained a low profile. They seemed to stand aloof from worldly affairs, but they had merely been biding their time and gathering strength. Perhaps they were finally ready to make their appearance on the world stage. If Xiang Shaoyun didn’t want Yu Caidie to be married to someone else, he had to show sufficient strength.

The Devil Hunting Expedition was about to end, and the Yu Clan would reward the person placing first in the expedition. Xiang Shaoyun needed to do something. Regardless of what the Yu Clan had in mind, this was a bargaining chip he had to obtain before he could try anything else.

“Anyone trying to steal my woman will die!”
