Nine Star Hegemon Body Art c1-2048
Page 818
Everyone present was stunned by this Sword Qi. This sword wasn’t even aimed at them, yet its pressure caused a stabbing pain in their souls.
That Pill Valley expert standing in the air hastily formed hand seals, and a huge flame blade condensed in the air, meeting the Sword Qi.
But shockingly, that flame blade was unable to bear a single blow from the Sword Qi. It instantly exploded, not even managing to slow it down. The Sword Qi then slashed through the Pill Valley expert, annihilating him.
“If anyone else is unconvinced, come out and fight!”
A group of people walked into the Xuantian Plaza. The one at the front was Boss Bao, and the ones behind him were the other bosses of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect.
Behind the seven bosses were Bao Buping and Chang Hao. What delighted Long Chen was that the seven bosses had all advanced to the Life Star realm. The space around them was constantly fluctuating as a result of them having just advanced and not being able to control their auras yet.
As for Bao Buping and Chang Hao, they had advanced to the Jade Core realm. But their auras had already stabilized.
“The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect!”
The seven bosses’ arrival elicited startled cries, and people involuntarily took a few steps back, terror appearing in their eyes.
Within the Righteous path, the sect that evoked the most fear was the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect.
That was because the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect was full of suicidal madmen. There was no way to reason with them. They would start fighting all-out with a single wrong word.
Furthermore, they were all existences that were unrivaled in the same realm and incredibly domineering. Their killing power was frightening.
“Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, what do you think you’re doing?!” Zhuo Tianxiang’s expression sank.
“Are you blind? We came to kill. Having just advanced, our hands are itchy and we want to play around with a few people. It just so happens that there are many people here, and we can kill until we’re satisfied. Do you have any opinion of that?” said Boss Bao disdainfully.
“Are you supporting Long Chen?” demanded Zhuo Tianxiang.
“That’s why I said Pill Valley is just a pack of idiots. You obviously know already, so why ask? If we didn’t come to support Long Chen, why would we have come so far? I really look down on your Pill Valley. You clearly want to control the world, yet you don’t express it and just play your little schemes in the dark to make those spineless sects submit to you. Is there a point to this? If you want to become a king, do it openly. As for this pattern of slowly boiling a frog, do you really think others can’t see through it?” sneered Boss Bao.
Zhuo Tianxiang’s expression changed and he shouted, “Pay attention to your tone! Know that my Pill Valley’s status is transcendent! Do you think we care about your mundane world?!”
“Just shut up. You probably can’t even believe your own words. You know what you’ve done, and others know what you’ve done. It’s just that no one dares to provoke you by saying it. However, my Heaven Splitting Battle Sect happens to be full of men who stand while pissing. If you don’t like it, then let’s fight!” After finishing speaking, Boss Bao ignored Zhuo Tianxiang and walked over to Long Chen.
“Little fellow, we’ve come to support you. Act as you please. It would be best if there was a big battle in a bit, and we can kill until rivers of blood flow.” Boss Bao patted Long Chen on the shoulder with an excited expression.
That expression made other people’s skin crawl: madman, definitely a madman. That expression clearly showed that he wanted to kill everyone.
When people came to support others in a dispute, their goal was always to mediate things to avoid a fight. But as for the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, it was like they were afraid others wouldn’t fight without them coming.
“Scram! This isn’t somewhere the likes of you can come!”
Boss Bao and the others had only just sat when a furious roar rang out from the distance. They saw several Life Star experts blocking a white-robed man.
This man looked to be in his thirties. He was handsome, and his white robes were like snow. He had a single sword strapped to his back. He was graceful, seemingly untouched by dust.
But his cultivation base was only at the Soul Transformation realm, so he was immediately noticed. Seeing that he was only at the Soul Transformation realm, they thought that he had come to watch the fun, so the closest people immediately moved to kick him out.
“Get out of my way.” The white-robed man frowned slightly.
“Scram!”
The Life Star experts were infuriated, and one of them sent out a punch at the white-robed man.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed. Before anyone could understand what was happening, that Life Star expert came to a sudden stop, and then his body slowly split apart.
As his body split, the white-robed man walked through him.
“Sect leader!”
Long Chen was shocked to see this white-robed man. He was the original sect leader of the 108th monastery, Ling Yunzi.
Ling Yunzi smiled and walked over to Long Chen, treating the Life Star experts around him as nothing.
“Die!” Seeing Ling Yunzi look down on them, a murderous light appeared in the Life Star experts’ eyes. Seven of them attacked at the same time.
Ling Yunzi’s mouth curled ever so slightly. His hand reached toward his back.
The moment his sword came out of his sheath, light exploded, as bright as the sun. A terrifying destructive will shot out.
Seven muffled bangs rang out. When the light faded, Ling Yunzi’s hand was slowly letting go of his sword hilt.
Li Tianxuan, Yue Qingshan, Zhuo Tianxiang, and all the other experts’ pupils shrank. They had been unable to track Ling Yunzi’s sword. As for other people, they had been unable to even see him unsheathe his sword.
The sound of seven bodies hitting the ground rang out. They no longer had the slightest life. Ling Yunzi continued onward, still treating the Life Star experts around him as nothing.
Chapter 1314 The One Whose Sword Shakes Ghosts and Gods
Ling Yunzi slowly walked forward, each step perfectly being the same distance. Even the rhythm of his movements was the exact same.
All the Life Star experts present found it hard to believe that a Soul Transformation expert could be so terrifying. He killed Life Star experts without using the slightest effort. Most terrifying of all, there weren’t the slightest Heavenly Dao fluctuations around him. He clearly wasn’t even a Celestial.
“I remember! He’s the Heavenly Sword Gate’s Ghost Sword, Ling Yunzi! He specializes in the Annihilation Sword Dao!”
Someone suddenly let out a startled cry as he finally recognized Ling Yunzi. As soon as Ling Yunzi’s name was mentioned, all the Life Star experts’ expressions changed.
“That fellow whose sword is said to shake ghosts and gods, a sword which can exterminate the heavens and slay divinities?!”
“I hear whenever he faces opponents, life and death is always decided in just one move.”
Countless whispers spread throughout the crowd as they looked at Ling Yunzi with reverence.
The Heavenly Sword Gate only accepted sword cultivators, and so it had very few disciples. But each of them was a figure capable of shaking heaven and earth.
In the past few years, a genius had appeared in the Heavenly Sword Gate. Despite having long since passed his golden age of cultivation, he still managed to soar like a shooting star, and was claimed to be a superhuman genius amongst sword cultivators.
Although Ling Yunzi rarely left the Heavenly Sword Gate, his name was still very famous in the Central Plains. That was because when he had been over a hundred years old, he had still only been at the Xiantian realm. For him to be able to suddenly rise at such a late stage in his life toppled the cultivation world’s laws, so there were naturally many people who knew of his strange existence.
At the same tim
e as people were shocked, they found it curious how Long Chen knew Ling Yunzi, and would even call him sect leader. In the Central Plains, very few people knew Ling Yunzi’s past.
“I’ve long since stopped being your sect leader. If my gate master were to learn of it, he might think I am conspiring some plot.” Ling Yunzi smiled.
Ling Yunzi arrived in front of Long Chen. He saw that the youth from back then had matured. Although his general figure hadn’t changed, there were more lines on his face. He had become more determined than ever. Ling Yunzi couldn’t help but feel emotional.
“In my heart, you will always be the sect leader of the 108th monastery,” said Long Chen. He was also emotional.
Countless memories flooded back into their mind. Thinking of those things, they felt like they had happened a lifetime ago.
“Ling Yunzi, are you here to represent the Heavenly Sword Gate?” asked Zhuo Tianxiang uneasily.
The Heavenly Sword Gate was a terrifying sect. They had very few people, but even Pill Valley didn’t want to provoke them.
That was because each person in the Heavenly Sword Gate was a terrifying sword cultivator with unimaginable power.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Sword Gate’s disciples were focused on cultivating the Sword Dao and never interfered in the matters of the mundane world. They didn’t have any relationship with Pill Valley, and they also hadn’t had any conflicts. However, Ling Yunzi’s arrival worried him.
“My Heavenly Sword Gate’s disciples don’t set foot in the mundane world. I came here purely for personal reasons, and it has nothing to do with the Heavenly Sword Gate, so you can be at ease. Even if I die here, the Heavenly Sword Gate won’t find any trouble for you. Long Chen and I have had past dealings, and if he is in trouble, I must help. If a battle starts, I’d ask you all not to have any misgivings about the Heavenly Sword Gate and fight as you please. I, Ling Yunzi, will also not have any misgivings about your statuses. We can have a happy slaughter without any worries!”
Ling Yunzi’s words caused a chill to run down these people’s spines. He was definitely a vicious character, no different from the madmen of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect. A happy slaughter? Without your life, what was there to be happy about?
“Is Zifeng still alright?” Ling Yunzi asked Long Chen.
Long Chen immediately understood that a big reason Ling Yunzi had come here was for Yue Zifeng.
Although the two of them had never formally taken the title of disciple and master, that relationship was still there. If it hadn’t been for Ling Yunzi’s pointers, Yue Zifeng wouldn’t have advanced at such a terrifying rate.
“He’s fine for now. His soul is sealed in his sword and unable to return to his body. That’s a bit troublesome, and we aren’t able to help,” said Long Chen.
“Good. We can discuss anything else once this matter is over. Little fellow, you really are not bad. Your ability to cause trouble grows greater and greater over time.” Ling Yunzi patted Long Chen on the shoulder.
After that, Ling Yunzi exchanged polite greetings with Li Tianxuan, Boss Bao, and the others. According to age, Ling Yunzi was the junior, so he used the etiquette of a junior when greeting them, embarrassing Li Tianxuan and Boss Bao.
“You are Long Chen’s elder, so we are brothers. Stop with the useless pleasantries, because we won’t return them. Wouldn’t you just be wasting your time?” grumbled Boss Bao. The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s people disliked this kind of unnecessary and elaborate detail the most.
On the other hand, Li Tianxuan asked Ling Yunzi if he wanted to come and help oversee the Xuantian Dao Sect since he had once been a member of the sect. He wanted to entice Ling Yunzi back.
But Ling Yunzi merely smiled without saying anything. That was equivalent to politely declining. He obviously had his own plans for his future.
As the Huayun Sect, the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, and Ling Yunzi arrived, this matter grew more and more complicated. Pill Valley’s overbearing act was forcibly suppressed now, and their confidence was starting to flag.
With the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s madmen and Ling Yunzi here, the power difference had changed. The Xuantian Dao Sect was gaining more and more power. The Huayun Sect was especially troublesome to deal with when it came to the situation.
As for Li Tianxuan, he seemed to be ignoring Pill Valley’s people and was simply quietly conversing with Ling Yunzi, Yue Qingshan, Boss Bao, and the others. It was like everything before them had nothing to do with him. He had left everything to Long Chen.
As for Long Chen, he was lightly tasting a bowl of fresh tea Meng Qi had given him. Behind him, Tang Wan-er was gently massaging his shoulders. Long Chen was so comfortable he was about to start snoring.
That appearance of his infuriated Zhuo Tianxiang. In all his life, he had never seen anyone so arrogant. He was treating all of them as nothing but air.
The eyes of the ancient family alliance’s youngsters were burning with envy, almost spurting out flames.
Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er were both beautiful women who looked like fairies that had descended into the mortal world, but they were actually being so gentle to Long Chen. This scene made them almost go insane.
They were heaven-shaking geniuses, but they had never even seen such beautiful women like Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er.
Although they also had a few beautiful women amongst them who could count as peak beauties found only once every thousand miles, they still didn’t compare.
Heavenly geniuses were all proud and arrogant figures. They felt that this world’s beauties should belong to them alone.
For them to see a Foundation Forging disciple receive such a blessing made them clench their teeth. If looks could kill, Long Chen would have died a thousand times over.
“Since everyone has come, let’s discuss the problem of the Xuantian Dao Sect…” Finally, the Martial Heaven Alliance’s Deng Cang broke the awkward atmosphere.
But as soon as he spoke, a cold smile appeared on Long Chen’s face. Just now, he had sensed a very concealed fluctuation. Without the sharp senses of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, he wouldn’t have sensed it.
Just before Deng Cang had spoken, Pill Valley’s Zhuo Tianxiang had sent a spiritual message to him. According to reason, a concealed spiritual message between experts of their caliber could not be sensed. Even Life Star experts like Li Tianxuan wouldn’t be able to sense it.
But the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was extremely sensitive to malicious intent. And since he could sense it, that meant that these two were scheming against him, because that was the only reason the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art would sense it.
Now Long Chen knew why Deng Cang was targeting the Xuantian Dao Sect and refused to speak up for them. It seemed he had one foot in a different camp.
“Sorry, my Xuantian Dao Sect doesn’t have any problems. Let’s discuss their problems instead.” Long Chen didn’t give Deng Cang any chance to continue speaking. There was no way he would fart out something good, so he might as well not let him fart at all.
“Long Chen, do you even know what respect is?! Do you think you’re qualified to butt in here!” roared Deng Cang, infuriated at being interrupted by Long Chen continuously.
Boss Bao was immediately enraged and reached for his sword on his back. Li Tianxuan was speechless. This kind of temper flared up a bit too quickly, wasn’t it? He quickly stopped him. “Don’t be in such a rush. Long Chen can handle it!” Li Tianxuan bitterly smiled as he stopped the bosses. He knew that if he didn’t stop them, these fellows would start killing now.
“I regret to inform you that it just so happens that I do have the qualifications. Right now, my word is the word of the Xuantian Dao Sect. If you want to resolve this problem, you’ll have to listen to me. If you don’t want to listen to me, then it’s also very simple. There are two options. One: fuck off, two: fight. You can choose for yourself.” Long Chen smiled coldly.
He could already see that a portion of the people sucking up t
o Pill Valley had started to retreat as soon as the Huayun Sect arrived. Clearly, having weighed the pros and cons, they had decided not to offend either party.
Those people wouldn’t be interfering if a battle started. At most, they would just shout from the sideline.
And the arrival of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect and Ling Yunzi had shaken the confidence of another portion. They were afraid of the bosses as they were truly vicious figures. The slightest carelessness would cause these people to lose their lives.
To suck up to Pill Valley, they would offend the Huayun Sect and lose their lives. That wasn’t worth it.
So now the ones who had been shouting for a battle had silently disappeared. Only the ancient race experts still had sharp killing intent in their eyes. Both the Xuantian Dao Sect and the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect were their mortal enemies. If they could be annihilated in one move, it would be for the best.
To the ancient race experts, Pill Valley had given them a good opportunity. Not only could they kill their enemies and display their might, but the deaths of these people would be the responsibility of Pill Valley. The Martial Heaven Alliance wouldn’t even be able to find trouble for them.
“Little brat, stop being so arrogant! If you want a fight, then let’s fight! Today, the ancient races will raze your Xuantian Dao Sect to the ground!” roared the ancient race experts. They wanted to start fighting right now.
“Are the ancient races so amazing? Back in my day, I don’t even know how many of you I killed. I never felt you to be so tough.”
Suddenly, a disdainful sneer came from the sky. A large figure appeared. He was like a fat bloodthirsty butcher, icily staring at the ancient race experts.
Chapter 1315 Weapons Drawn and Raised
“The Fierce Yang Butcher, Tu Qianshang!”
Countless people let out startled cries upon seeing that figure. The ancient race experts’ expressions sank.
In this world, the people who hated Tu Qianshang the most were the ancient races. When the ancient races had been hunting him down back then, he had killed a countless number of them, causing them to lose face. It was one of their most humiliating records in all of history.
