This Disciple's Life Is Not Inferior To Anyone

This wasn't just Blood Demon Hand's thought, but the thought of the vast majority present.

They wanted to snatch it, yet they were terrified of Chu Jiang's strength.

Originally, the power difference between everyone wasn't that large, and there was still hope for contention.

Now, Chu Jiang's appearance had undoubtedly shattered that.

Especially that final move that obliterated Blood Saber, it was like a divine intervention.

It left them completely unable to resist.

But there were still a few individuals clinging to hope.

Such a move, an ordinary person definitely couldn't use a second time.

The current Chu Jiang's True Essence was likely depleted; this was their chance.

Ma Han sensed the atmosphere was off. With a signal, the remaining Demon Hunters immediately surrounded Chu Jiang, drawing their long sabers, their gazes unfriendly.

Now that the demons were dealt with, these martial artists were as arrogant and overbearing as ever, and a new conflict was likely to erupt.

"Please, everyone, don't misunderstand. Brother Chu fought the demons alone, unafraid of danger, and saved us all. The Blood Saber Legacy rightfully belongs to him. Whoever dares to covet it will be an enemy of my Yellow Robe Gang!" Elder Yun clutched his chest, inwardly lamenting. He had been critically wounded by the demon, how could he possibly contend for it?

He wouldn't gamble his life on a one-in-ten-thousand chance.

Blood Demon Hand, understanding that the situation was clear, gradually calmed his emotions and spoke, "Congratulations to Brother Chu on obtaining the Blood Saber Legacy and greatly increasing his strength. Now that this matter is concluded, could you please activate the mechanism and let us leave?"

It seemed the Blood Saber Legacy was not destined for him this time. As long as he kept his life, there would be opportunities in the future; he couldn't risk dying easily.

Chu Jiang's words were indifferent, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "There's one thing I must remind you all: what happened here must not be spread outside for three days!"

"Otherwise, you die!"

A chilling killing intent permeated the air, as if freezing it, sending shivers down the spines of those remaining.

"And after three days?"

Someone in the crowd posed the question.

With such a major event occurring here, it seemed unlikely to keep it completely under wraps. Sooner or later, people would find out.

"After three days, I won't interfere. If I discover anyone leaks this information within three days, they will be an enemy to me, Chu Jiang, and an enemy to the Great Chu Government!"

Chu Jiang's words carried a threat, making them dare not underestimate him.

"Since Lord Chu has this request, we will certainly comply. We'll keep silent for three days, even ten or a hundred days, and we won't say a word."

The crowd didn't understand why Chu Jiang imposed a three-day gag order. Logically, Chu Jiang, having swept through the demons alone, should be publicizing his feat.

It would be an opportunity to claim credit and get promoted upon returning.

However, since Chu Jiang had spoken, they had no choice but to obey.

They might not respect the Great Chu Government, but if they defied Chu Jiang, this terrifying figure, their end would surely be miserable.

This person's strength was incredibly formidable. He would undoubtedly reach the Vajra Realm in the future, and perhaps even the Grandmaster realm was not impossible.

No one would risk offending such a powerful figure just to have the last word.

Chu Jiang nodded slightly.

Standing in the center of the altar, he pressed down forcefully with his palm. With a rumbling sound, steel gears turned, and with a grinding noise, the entrance gate to the underground palace reopened.

"Go!"

Since the Blood Saber Legacy had found its owner and the gate had reopened, they had no reason to linger.

Hundreds had come, but fewer than twenty survived to leave.

If Chu Jiang hadn't intervened in the end, the outcome would have been annihilation.

Chu Jiang's attention returned to the altar. He directly opened the red Treasure Box, which was the largest one, more than twice the size of the other two.

Upon opening it, he found sheets of white paper, on which were written the dying words of Blood Saber.

"My name is Blood Saber, my real name is Wang Qi. I began martial arts at seven, and practiced the saber at thirteen. When bandits came to my village to burn, kill, and loot, I went up the mountain alone and killed the bandits with my saber!"

"I thought I would receive commendation from the government, but instead, I was arrested and imprisoned by the government on charges of disturbing public order, and sentenced to execution in autumn. When I questioned the county magistrate, I was only met with beatings."

"On the day of my execution, the common people pleaded for me, but several were beaten to death with cudgels."

"At that moment, I swore to kill all these corrupt officials who disregarded human lives and wreaked havoc. Why did they condemn people without understanding the truth?"

"Are they humans, and are we merely beasts?"

"Perhaps heaven heard my call, for I did not die. I was saved by a mysterious person who taught me martial arts and imparted mystic arts to me."

"Although he never said he was taking me as a disciple, I had long regarded him as my master!"

"At eighteen, I stepped into the Xiantian realm and officially left the mountain. I did not forget my oath. Within a year, I killed several wicked officials and was once again wanted."

"People came to kill me one after another – government agents, bounty hunters, assassins – but I grew stronger through the tempering of blood."

"At twenty, I appeared on the Human Ranking for the first time, taking the thirteenth spot!"

"In the following years, my saber's edge was unstoppable. Many who wanted to kill me died by my blade, and my ranking continued to rise!"

"Gu Hongchen, the number one on the Human Ranking, challenged me to a duel at the peak of the border mountain between Annan Commandery and Dahe Commandery. This battle shook the heavens and earth!"

"I was at Jie Shan and saw that mysterious person I hadn't seen since entering the Xiantian realm. At that moment, I finally understood why no one stronger than Xiantian had ever come to hunt me down.

He had always supported me silently from behind, yet never revealed himself.

At this moment, I resolved to fight and take the first place on the Human Ranking, to prove that the mysterious person hadn't misjudged me. I had the confidence that no one in the Xiantian realm was my match.

Once the Blood Saber is drawn, it can cleave Vajras!"

"Gu Hongchen was indeed the strongest person I've encountered, but he was still a notch below me. Just as I was about to defeat him with a single move of my Blood Saber, a strange silver needle suddenly attacked from outside the arena, silently. My physical body hadn't been cultivated enough, and my true qi was broken. Gu Hongchen seized this opportunity and used his sword techniques to heavily wound me!

I lost, even with outside interference, I still lost!

The mysterious person on the high platform was furious. He immediately captured the person who had attacked from the shadows. It turned out to be a Vajra realm expert skilled in stealth, at the late stage of the Vajra realm.

But he was crushed into a pulp by the mysterious person with a single slap.

However, soon, seven people came to stop the mysterious person. The aura of the leader was even above the Vajra realm, extremely terrifying!

At this moment, I understood. The true purpose of this Human Ranking competition was the mysterious person.

The mysterious person was being besieged by seven grandmasters. Staying here would only distract him. I left Jie Shan, but my pursuers relentlessly followed.

There was even a Vajra realm expert among them. With my true qi broken, I was powerless to resist.

I used a forbidden technique, burning my Blood Essence, and desperately fled. I finally escaped the pursuit, but I was also on the verge of exhaustion.

I came to an underground palace I had discovered years ago to recover my strength. After resisting desperately for seven days, I was ultimately unable to turn the tide.

That silver needle not only broke my true qi but also carried a potent poison. The vitality in my internal organs was extinguished, and I had to give up.

If anyone reads this final testament, I will consider it your acceptance of my legacy. I have only one small request: you don't need to avenge me.

Please help me find the whereabouts of the mysterious person. I don't know his true name, only his dharma name, True Person Xuantong.

If you meet him in the future, tell him—this disciple was not inferior to anyone in his life!

If he has already passed away, please erect a tombstone for me!

I thank you here!"

Chu Jiang seemed to see the final song of the once-unrivaled Blood Saber as he faced death.

The words seemed incapable of describing the grandeur of his life.

Chu Jiang sighed. The Blood Saber's life was full of passion and flesh. Although there were regrets, it was not a life lived in vain. Blood Saber King Qi was truly a man.

Countless people in the world suffered fates similar to Wang Qi's, while those with Wang Qi's encounters were one in ten thousand.

And that battle back then was actually filled with so much deception.

If not for the sneak attack from the shadows, the Blood Saber should have been the true number one on the Human Ranking, not the second.

Chu Jiang continued to flip through, looking at the last page of the final testament.

"I write this letter so that future generations may understand the truth of that year. I can foresee that in the years after my death, history will be altered.

I have left behind three treasure boxes. The white treasure box contains two Marrow Cleansing Pills. Marrow Cleansing Pills can improve bone structure for those in the Houtian realm.

The purple treasure box contains one Three-Cycle True Essence Pill and one Purple Sun Pill. The Three-Cycle True Essence Pill can help Xiantian martial artists advance one level. The Purple Sun Pill can widen meridians and increase the capacity of true qi within the body.

The red treasure box contains three items: this final testament, the Blood Saber Manual, and the first part of the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body. The Blood Saber Manual was taught to me by the mysterious person, and I refined it with my own understanding of the saber path. Cultivating it to the great accomplishment stage allows one to slay Vajras in the Xiantian realm. The Wind-Thunder Vajra Body is a body-refining technique that the mysterious person instructed me not to pass on. To enable you to fulfill my dying wish, I have left you the first part. The first part is sufficient to cultivate to the peak of the Vajra realm, which should be enough for you. I have not violated his instructions either."
