I Am Supreme-Chapter 1050 - Sun Mingxiu

The Residence of Nine Supremes had the upper hand and was high-spirited while its opponents were caught in a dilemma.

As elite disciples of Illusory Sword Sect, these people had accumulated a lot of resentment in their hearts because they were eliminated in the qualification battle to participate in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banner. It was also the reason why they had set up a checkpoint here to stop the Residence of Nine Supremes and all the small sects that wanted to pass through the area to participate in the battle. What they really wanted was to prove themselves.

‘Although you won’t let us take part in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banner, we can use facts to prove that we are definitely no worse than those so-called seed disciples. We can finish more enemies!’

In fact, there was an element of pique in their behavior.

Their plan was actually quite good. However, imagination was always beautiful, while reality was very cruel.

They did not expect that a random disciple from this little-known Residence of Nine Supremes, which was founded only a short time ago, would show a mighty strength that could scare all of them!

His strength was indeed mighty! There was nothing about him that they could match, whether it was his fierce sword technique or his vigorous mystical Qi.

Were all the disciples of various sects who could take part in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banner as ferocious as him?

Then, these disciples of Illusory Sword Sect remembered Hu Xiaofan’s sudden mention of the money for passage and other things, and before they could give an answer, he had given them no chance and viciously rushed toward them.

The moment his sword was flashing, he had already rushed into the crowd.

As his sword kept flashing, the crowd quickly dispersed. However, in the dispersed crowd, several more disciples’ necks were spewing blood as they spun and fell to the ground.

One of them shouted loudly, “Stop! Stop! We’ll let you pass!”

Hu Xiaofan smiled grimly and said, “But, I’ve no intention of sparing you, a bunch of rubbish who refuse to pay for the passage!”

He said no more while the bloody sword in his hand was constantly being swung out, darting like a poisonous snake or an evil dragon who claimed lives constantly. In a single a moment, more than twenty disciples of Illusory Sword Sect fell to the ground one by one, all screaming miserably.

Yun Yang remained calm and composed as he looked on coldly from the side, but his attention was not on Hu Xiaofan. In terms of cultivation base, strength, and state of mind, Hu Xiaofan was far superior to these disciples of Illusory Sword Sect, so he had no doubt about the result of this battle, and did not need to pay attention to it. Instead, his eyes fell on the disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes who did not take part in this battle, and saw sympathetic expressions on several faces.

Sun Mingxiu, Bai Yexing, Hu Xiaofan, and Lu Changman had the usual expressions on their faces, as if they had not seen the blood pouring in front of them. Standing beside Yun Xiuxin, Sun Mingxiu asked, “Senior Sister, do you think these people should be killed?”

Yun Xiuxin hesitated for a moment and then said, “They can be killed.”

With a smile on his face, Sun Mingxiu said, “Can be killed? Why only can be killed? In fact, the answer should not be ‘can be killed’ or ‘should be killed’, but ‘must be killed’! If we were to switch places with them and were even just a little bit weaker, it would be us who would be sprawled on the ground now. Senior Sister, do you think they’d let us go as long as we paid them the so-called money for the passage? No, they would never let any of us go, because they would need our heads to prove that they were no worse than the disciples who were chosen to take part in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banner!”

Yun Xiuxin’s eyes grew cold and sharp as she said, “You are right, I got into a blind alley.”

“It’s human nature and normal human reaction to feel sympathy when we see the weak being slaughtered. However, in our compassion, we must consider how cruel it would be if the weak became strong and faced those weaker than them.” Sun Mingxiu’s voice was gentle, but his tone was unusually firm.

Yun Xiuxin nodded slowly and said, “You are right. Thank you for the advice!”

Yun Yang nodded slightly as he saw Yun Xiuxin gain something from this battle and her state of mind become more perfect. Meanwhile, as Hu Xiaofan continued to kill the disciples of Illusory Sword Sect, he felt the constant incoming of karmic energy. Although the amount was meager, it was free of charge, and a buck was a buck. He smiled and beckoned, “Mingxiu, come here!”

Sun Mingxiu came over and said respectfully, “Sect Leader!”

Yun Yang nodded. “I saw you at Yun Xiuxin’s side all the way, explaining these things about the martial world to her. What are you doing this for?”

Sun Mingxiu froze for a moment and could not answer for a long time.

Yun Yang smiled faintly and said, “You are thoughtful and comprehensive in doing things, and you have a noble personality and will do what you say. There must be a reason for you to do this. I want you to speak out boldly and express your feelings truthfully.”

Sun Mingxiu took a breath and said in a low voice, “I do have my own reasons.”

“Tell me about it.” Yun Yang’s eyes were full of encouragement.

Shi Wuchen waved and laid out a mystical Qi barrier around them to isolate their voices from the outside world.

“In the past, I’ve tried my best to cultivate, never daring to slack off or neglect. I thought I could be a role model for all the junior brothers and sisters…But, facts have proven that my ability is far from enough, at least not to the extent that the Residence of Nine Supremes’s chief disciple should have.”

Sun Mingxiu’s expression was bitter, but he said frankly, “The disciples of Residence of Nine Supremes need an excellent leader, and Xiuxin has reached this level now. With her nature, aptitude, and personal achievements, it is very difficult for the first-generation disciples, whether it be Bai Yexing, me, or anyone else, to have the chance to surpass her again in our lifetime.”

“Or should I say it this way…the moment Xiuxin ascended to the crown of the top ten disciples, she firmly established herself as the chief disciple of Residence of Nine Supremes, and has become the undisputed and irreplaceable new leader of all disciples.”

“However, it is not enough for a qualified leader to have only mighty and unmatched strength. Xiuxin’s current weakness is that her heart has not yet been thoroughly tempered, and her experience of the martial world is too shallow. But, as the chief disciple, she must know this, so that she can let her junior brothers and sisters take fewer detours and reduce losses.”

“Based on this consideration, I want to give my own relevant experience to Xiuxin so that she can understand it earlier, and more deeply.”

“This is also my responsibility.” With a magnanimous smile on his face, Sun Mingxiu said, “That’s why I’ve been sharing my experience with her along the way. I didn’t mean anything else, and Xiuxin didn’t mind my nagging.”

Shi Wuchen’s face was filled with relief and mixed with a trace of pride. Yun Yang thought for a moment and said, “Mingxiu, in your opinion, what role do you think you should play in Residence of Nine Supremes in the future?”

Hearing that, Sun Mingxiu paused for a moment, then was lost in thought and speechless for a long time. It was a long time before he said, “I…I haven’t seriously thought about my future role. I just want to be able to work with Masters and all the senior brothers and sisters to further develop Residence of Nine Supremes, and also protect all the junior brothers and sisters. In this way, I feel that my life will be complete.”

Yun Yang asked, “Why do you think so?”
