Watch the Saber

Although Furong had cultivated for many years, this was the first time she had ever witnessed murder, especially witnessing Yue Qianchou, her bedmate, commit murder. One person was killed in the palace, and here fourteen more were killed. Especially the shrill screams she had just heard made her feel numb.

Nong Zhu noticed her unusual behavior, seeing fear in her pure, daughter-like eyes. He frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "I wonder where Yue Qianchou got this girl from. She seems completely naive. How can I possibly manage to travel in this environment with her? No wonder that kid wanted me to take her back."

"Awooo..." A long howl came from the heavens, causing everyone to look up. They saw Yue Qianchou emerge from the white clouds and plummet straight down on his sword. As soon as he appeared, the large cloud rippled, wrinkled by the wind, and slowly drifted away after changing shape.

The flying sword plummeted from the sky, and as it carried the man close to the ground, Yue Qianchou leaped into the air, somersaulted several times, and landed steadily on the ground. The flying sword traced a blue arc before "whooshing" into his sleeve.

Yue Qianchou strode to Wen Rui's feet, picked up two Storage Bag in full view of everyone, and walked back to the arena with the bags. He coldly glanced around, raised the Storage Bag in his hands, and shouted loudly with high fighting spirit, "Anyone else who is not Qi Ingestion? Yue Qianchou ready to fight anytime."

A large crowd thronged, whispering amongst themselves. Though indignant, having witnessed the fate of more than ten people, no one dared to make a move. Those who had retreated earlier, in particular, secretly congratulated themselves on escaping death. The Nascent Soul Realm in the crowd all turned their gazes toward the Tribulation Transcendence stage.

No one answered. Yue Qianchou raised the Storage Bag and shouted again, "Where are the people who were shouting earlier? Anyone else who is not Qi Ingestion, Yue Qianchou is ready to fight."

"Young man, you have already killed so many people, why are you still so aggressive?" The voice rang out, and a crowd of people on the south side stirred and made way for him. An old man in a homespun cloth robe stepped forward, first bowing slightly to Nong Zhu Wen Rui, then walking to the opposite side of Yue Qianchou.

With a few wisps of white beard, neither fat nor thin, a ruddy complexion, and gleaming eyes, he possessed the air of a sage. Yue Qianchou sneered, "You only saw my aggressive attitude, but did you see how others were aggressively pressuring me? My original intention was merely to travel the world; I had no other plans. Who knew that Huo Zongming, Yan Ji, and six other Spirit Transformation stage experts would pressure me so relentlessly that I had no choice but to utter such boastful words. They..."

He gestured to the crowd around him and continued in a stern voice, "Inside the palace, more than three hundred cultivators from various countries forced me to take action. Now that they've suffered a loss, they've turned around and accused me of being aggressive. What kind of logic is that?"

The old man stroked his unkempt beard and said indifferently, "I don't care about what happened before, but you've already made enough of a name for yourself. It's time to stop here and go back to your Huaxia Cultivation World!"

Yue Qianchou looked him up and down a few times, then laughed wildly, "What are you? Yan Ji said he wouldn't let me leave alive, do you dare to deny Yan Ji's words? Then I'd like to ask, what is your cultivation level, and can it be higher than Yan Ji's? If your cultivation level is higher than Yan Ji's and you can let me leave safely, then I'll listen to you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Nong Zhu's voice transmission rang in his ears, "Kid, keep your guard down. This person is called Chu Dingfang. You're not someone to mess with. He's a disciple of Hu Changshou, a late Spirit Transformation stage expert who's on par with Yin Baikang. His cultivation has already reached the late Tribulation Transcendence stage."

"Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier? Don't you know I hate people who act like they're old and powerful? I've already said it, how can I take it back?" Yue Qianchou glanced at the slyly grinning Nong Zhu and cursed inwardly, "This bastard did it on purpose."

However, he was also at peace with himself. He had never planned to turn back halfway, so he wasn't going to be easily scared away. Besides, his master's reputation was far greater than his master's, and he wasn't necessarily inferior to him. Why should he be afraid of him? It didn't make sense!

Chu Dingfang's expression was uncertain. His cultivation was indeed inferior to Yan Ji's, but with his background, he could easily recommend Yue Qianchou for admission, and Yan Ji wouldn't dare do anything to him. The key issue was that Yue Qianchou had said those words; if he made the decision, it would be tantamount to openly opposing Yan Ji. Yan Ji and Huo Zongming's combined power was considerable, and in the end, to save face for Yan Ji, his master would likely punish him instead. This was a way to give Yan Ji an explanation.

He made a confident entrance, only to be utterly humiliated. Chu Dingfang immediately changed his tone, somewhat embarrassed and angry, and said, "I heard you claim to be the number one person in the world below the Spirit Transformation stage?"

Yue Qianchou pointed to the fourteen corpses on the ground and said arrogantly, "At present, that is indeed the case."

"I heard that any cultivator below the Spirit Transformation stage who can come up with one million high-grade Spirit Stones will fight you?" Chu Dingfang's tone was aggressive.

Yue Qianchou sneered without saying a word, took one Storage Bag containing eleven million high-grade Spirit Stones, and threw the other one in front of Wen Rui, showing him with his actions that he was completely at Wen Rui's mercy.

Chu Dingfang's gaze turned cold as he pulled out a Storage Bag and tossed it over without turning back.

Nong Zhu glanced at the Storage Bag on the ground and calculated that this guy had killed fifteen people, which meant he had amassed 15 million high-grade Spirit Stones. He did a great job; even a high-yield Spirit Stone mine might not be able to mine that many Spirit Stones in a year.

Looking again at the one on Chu Dingfang's waist, Nong Zhu's eyes lit up. If this kid could get his hands on that Storage Bag, he'd probably make a fortune today.

"You asked for it, you can't blame anyone else," Chu Dingfang said indifferently. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly vanished.

Nong Zhu's pupils contracted, and her heart clenched. She knew that the late Tribulation Transcendence stage and the early Tribulation stage were completely different concepts.

Teleportation! Yue Qianchou shocked, but his reaction was quick enough. As the opponent disappeared, he sprang up without hesitation. With a roar of "Ah!", he quickly spread his arms, and fierce blue flames erupted with a "boom" at a speed that devoured everything, in order to resist the attack from who-knows-where.

The towering, exploding azure flames elicited gasps of astonishment from those around them. It was the first time anyone had ever witnessed someone possess such a vast quantity of blazing flames within their body, especially azure ones. An immense, unparalleled heatwave instantly surged forth. Those with lower cultivation levels were utterly unable to withstand it and fled in panic.

Nong Zhu a word, Nongzhu flicked her finger and created a sphere of profound light, enveloping Furong within it. Now was the time to prevent Yue Qianchou from being distracted. Wen Rui also released a sphere of profound light to protect Wen Bai.

Just as Yue Qianchou leaped into the air, only a step away from where he had been standing, Chu Dingfang suddenly appeared, raising his palm to strike, only to find that he had missed. Chu Dingfang looked up and was suddenly startled to see a wave of scorching, insane blue flames crashing down on him.

His protective Gang Qi surged forth with a whoosh, but the terrifyingly high temperature that followed relentlessly pressed through the transparent Gang Qi, wave after wave. Chu Dingfang was shocked. Now it wasn't a question of whether to fight back or not; he needed to escape this frighteningly hot sea of fire first. He had never seen anyone with his cultivation level struggle to withstand such intense flames even for a short time.

A spherical protective Gang Qi enveloped him, and he slid quickly across the ground, leaving a deep trench in the ground.

Just as they escaped the raging sea of blue flames, a furious shout came from within the towering inferno, "Take this!"

Chu Dingfang turned around abruptly and saw Yue Qianchou riding a blue flying sword, chasing after the flames. He held a black broadsword in both hands, his face full of anger. Like a god of death, he jumped up from the flying sword and slashed wildly at his protective Gang Qi.

Wow, so fierce! Everyone was deeply shocked by the incomparably powerful scene of Yue Qianchou rushing out of the sea of fire, and four words came to mind... fearless of death!

Furong was utterly shocked; this scene was far too shocking for someone as psychologically vulnerable as her.

Wen Bai, who had been harboring resentment towards Yue Qianchou for deceiving him, suddenly felt all his grievances vanish at this moment. His imposing entrance was undeniable. Normally, even a late-stage Nascent Soul would only flee at the sight of late Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator, but this guy actually turned around, brandishing his sword and chasing after the late Tribulation Transcendence stage, charging forward and hacking away – a scene of relentless, life-or-death combat.

Nong Zhu watched with great interest, clicking her tongue incessantly...

"Hiss!" With a single slash of the Great Black Saber, the protective Gang Qi around Chu Dingfang was torn apart like thin paper, collapsing instantly. Chu Dingfang was terrified; the blade had barely grazed his nose. The blade was far too long.

He had thought his protective Gang Qi would easily block the blade, and he could easily take Yue Qianchou move. He was just waiting for Yue Qianchou to pounce on him, but who knew this would happen? The most terrifying thing was that just moments ago it was burning hot, but as soon as the blade pierced through, it felt like he had been thrown into an ice cave. The chilling aura that rushed towards him was as if he had been transported to hell on earth in an instant.

Little did he know, Yue Qianchou was also filled with regret. If he had been a little bolder and lunged forward a bit more, he might have cleaved that old bastard in two with that one strike. However, there's no going back in life. But it emboldened him, and he brandished his sword, roaring, "When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave shall prevail!"

His voice was so loud it shook the surrounding area, as if he wanted everyone to know how brave he was.

Startled, Chu Dingfang frantically dodged, not even realizing he needed to teleport away. Yue Qianchou gave chase, brandishing his sword with both hands and slashing wildly. His unstoppable aura put Chu Dingfang in grave danger... In reality, Chu Dingfang was disoriented by the aura emanating from the sword and hadn't reacted in time.

Behind Yue Qianchou, a surging sea of azure flames followed, within which some equally azure flying swords flashed in and out. Coupled with Yue Qianchou wielding a two-meter -Great Black Saber taller than himself, chasing after Chu Dingfang and wildly slashing and hacking, the fighting scene was breathtaking enough to leave everyone dumbfounded.

"You asked for it!" Yue Qianchou himself didn't know why Chu Dingfang was so easy to bully now. Ignoring it for the time being, relying on the fierce fire, the large knife, and his audacity, he arrogantly chased and slashed wildly with his knife...
