Offending a Sword Immortal Was a Death Well Deserved
The scene became quite awkward.
The Venerable Xu had harbored wicked intentions, immediately shut his mouth.
Not only him, but even the Daoist Qingshan seemed somewhat nervous.
The Sword Immortal is a Heavenly Martial Realm expert, already surpassing them. If such an expert were to make a move...
They will all never return.
Fortunately, the group led by Daoist Qingshan all understood Li Changtian's character.
He was a man devoted to the Sword Dao, and possessed a kind and generous character.
I imagine they wouldn't stoop to the level of this Venerable Xu one.
When Li Changtian woke up, he felt refreshed and relaxed all over.
Upon seeing the five corpses on the ground, after a moment's thought, the reason became clear.
Therefore, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Ning with shame.
Li Changtian cupped his hands slightly and said, "Sect Leader Chen, it's all my fault for being distracted by the Sword Saint's Cave Abode and failing to make proper arrangements, which gave this traitorous disciple an opportunity."
Li Changtian felt deeply guilty.
Lu Yuan was once a member of Flying Cloud Valley, Li Changtian knew Lu Yuan's strength best.
Not only is he highly talented, but he has always been ruthless and has also mastered the Death Sword Intent, making it extremely powerful.
Unfortunately, he was wicked.
Li Changtian then delayed passing on his mantle to him.
I thought that with the passage of time, perhaps he could wash away the evil thoughts from his body.
However, Li Changtian ultimately overestimated him.
Lu Yuan had very little patience, and unable to wait for that day, he betrayed Flying Cloud Valley.
To set up their own business.
Li Changtian, mindful of their past relationship as master and disciple, did not pursue them to the bitter end.
Unexpectedly, what I received in return was a meticulously planned scheme and harm.
It almost implicated Sect Leader Chen.
However, I feel ashamed.
But more than anything, people were shocked.
Sect Leader Chen, who was only at the Earth Martial Ninth Level, actually fought against five opponents single-handedly.
Among them are three Half-Step Martial Venerable, and Lu Yuan, a genuine One-Star Martial Venerable.
Such heroic bearing is truly astonishing.
At this moment.
Li Changtian looked surprised again, because he discovered that Sect Leader Chen's aura had already reached the Half-Step Martial Venerable realm.
This is amazing!
Li Changtian suddenly felt a sense of shame and inferiority.
You must understand that, given his status and identity, coupled with his extraordinary cultivation, he possessed unparalleled abilities.
But I have never felt this kind of envy towards others.
But now, I really envy Sect Leader Chen's talent.
Seeing that Li Changtian seemed somewhat remorseful, Chen Ning waved his hand dismissively and said, "Brother Sword Immortal, there's no need to blame yourself. It's good that you're awake now, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to deal with these people."
Upon hearing this...
The group of Daoist Qingshan looked disgruntled. Daoist Qingshan quickly explained, "We did not come here to seize the inheritance, but to seek fortuitous opportunity. Since the fortuitous opportunity has already been obtained by the Sword Immortal, we need not stay any longer. We hope that Brother Sword Immortal will grace our Green Mountain Sect with his presence someday, so that I may extend my hospitality."
After saying that.
The others also bowed and clasped their hands, preparing to follow Daoist Qingshan away.
But at this moment...
Li Changtian spoke up, saying, "I have spent many years cultivating the sword and remaining detached from the cultivation world, which seems to have made some people increasingly unruly..."
Chen Ning witnessed this scene from the side.
He smiled to himself.
Brother Sword Immortal is trying to restore his authority.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Qingshan immediately shook his head and said, "Sword Immortal possess cultivation that transcends heaven and earth; naturally, no one would dare to disrespect you."
"Is that so? But in my opinion, some people are not only disrespectful, but even want to take advantage of my misfortune and get rid of me as soon as possible..." Li Changtian's gaze turned cold.
"No, no, I wouldn't dare."
The group of Daoist Qingshan were immediately at a loss.
At this moment, the Sword Immortal clearly did not want to let the matter rest.
This Venerable Xu, he's the one who got him killed...
The Venerable Xu was already terrified. He took a trembling step forward and said, "I... I spoke without thinking, Sword Immortal, please don't... take it to heart..."
It could frighten a Martial Venerable so much that he stuttered.
This is the strength of the Heaven Martial Realm expert.
"Yes, Sword Immortal, Venerable Xu has always been reckless. Please don't pursue the matter. Here's what we'll do: once he returns to his sect, we'll immediately prepare generous gifts and send them to Flying Cloud Valley to apologize. What do you think?"
The Daoist Qingshan came to the rescue.
But Li Changtian still didn't look at him.
Instead, his gaze sharpened.
A desolate Sword Intent bloomed.
In the blink of an eye.
The Venerable Xu then had his head separated from his body.
"Scare!"
Everyone present was taken aback.
Several people who were acquainted with Venerable Xu felt a chill run down their spines and trembled like leaves.
A Three-Star Martial Venerable was killed without hesitation.
The power of the Heaven Martial Realm expert is truly terrifying.
It was only at this point that they were horrified to discover this.
The Sword Immortal has always been the same decisive and ruthless Sword Immortal.
We must not be fooled by his seemingly kind appearance again.
After all, he was a top expert standing at the pinnacle of Spirit Province!
"If Li kills him, do you accept it?"
Li Changtian's gaze darkened slightly, and he asked a question.
"Kill... good kill..."
The Daoist Qingshan was the first to react, and hurriedly said, "It is understandable to seize the fortuitous opportunity, but since the fortuitous opportunity has already fallen into your hands, you should leave. However, Venerable Xu dares to be insubordinate and offend Sword Immortal. He deserves to die."
"In that case, you may all leave. I have matters to discuss with the leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect."
The Daoist Qingshan and his party felt as if they had been granted a pardon and immediately withdrew respectfully.
Chen Ning watched from the sidelines, secretly envious.
It's good to have ability.
In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile.
Even killing a One-Star Martial Venerable is so difficult.
Then look at that Sword Immortal; he can instantly kill Three-Star Martial Venerable without a second thought.
In short.
The Martial Venerable masters, including Daoist Qingshan, were so frightened that they dared not utter a word.
That's fucking awesome!
That was so awesome!
However, Chen Ning wasn't in a hurry, as his own growth was also quite rapid.
The Sword Immortal will be slapped on the beach morning and night.
"Sect Leader Chen, did you break through to the Half-Step Martial Venerable Realm by fusing with the legacy of this broken sword?"
After the group of Daoist Qingshan left, Li Changtian finally spoke and asked.
He gained many fortuitous opportunity from the inheritance of the Sword of Myriad Spirits.
Having gained many insights into Sword Dao and learned a great deal, he realized that Chen Ning's breakthrough was also due to the fusion of the Broken Sword's inheritance.
But Chen Ning shook his head and said, "I haven't had time to integrate the inheritance yet, Brother Sword Immortal, your former disciple has already attacked."
"I am truly ashamed. It is all my fault for failing to properly guide my followers and for my indecisiveness, which has led to today's crisis."
"It's alright, it's just a good way to stretch your muscles."
Chen Ning smiled, and the two then set off to leave the cave abode.
But this place holds a special place in the heart of the Sword Immortal.
Therefore, it was decided to renovate the Sword Saint's Cave Abode and have disciples from Flying Cloud Valley guard it, as a place to commemorate the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint.
Chen Ning then checked the rewards he had received.
Sword Heart Barrier is a defensive Divine Ability.
Even a full-force attack from One-Star Martial Venerable can be withstood.
Extremely powerful.
As for one of the fragments of the Heaven-Slaying Sword, Chen Ning carefully put it away.
I don't know if that's the reason.
The Heaven-Slaying Sword, which had initially been somewhat resistant to him, was now much gentler and less resistant.
However, it will probably be some time before the Heaven-Slaying Sword is completely assembled.
As for the most significant epic reward...
This piqued Chen Ning's curiosity.
