A head hit the ground!
Deng Tiancheng died with his eyes wide open!
Even at his death, he could never have imagined that he would die before his wonderful life in the Clear Void Sword Sect had even begun!
And he had been slain in a single move by Su Jian, the very person he looked down on most!
Blood sprayed, frightening everyone nearby into retreating again and again. Their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Su Jian.
Especially those who had mocked him alongside Deng Tiancheng just now-they clamped their mouths shut and quietly squeezed into the crowd, terrified of drawing his attention!
Although these inexperienced youngsters knew nothing about the Supreme Sword Bone,
they knew that the tremendous commotion Su Jian had just caused was enough to prove he was not as simple as he appeared!
Facing him, everyone felt as though they were facing countless freshly sharpened swords!
Not far away, Su Lingyun and Tao Yaoyao were utterly dumbfounded!
They could already tell that Su Jian was an unparalleled genius, and he seemingly possessed the legendary Supreme Sword Bone!
"The Supreme Sword Bone! With that constitution, he would have no rivals in the way of the sword. Once he became a sword-path Immortal Emperor, his killing power could all but sweep aside every other Immortal Emperor!"
Su Lingyun's voice was trembling.
Geniuses like this were few and far between even in their Falling Moon Holy Land, let alone the Clear Void Sword Sect.
Having even one emerge was a heaven-sent stroke of fortune!
Who could have imagined that someone who had originally been a good-for-nothing would gain the Supreme Sword Bone after receiving guidance from that young man?
"Senior Sister, it looks like we misjudged him?"
Tao Yaoyao spoke timidly as well.
Su Lingyun gave a bleak smile. "Misjudged him? We had eyes but couldn't see!"
If they had recognized Su Jian's Supreme Sword Bone earlier and taken him away directly, what chance would anyone else have had?
The Falling Moon Holy Land would also have gained someone with the potential to become an Immortal Emperor!
"We might still have a chance. Who wouldn't want to come to the Falling Moon Holy Land?"
Su Lingyun spoke softly.
When it came to the Falling Moon Holy Land, she was still very confident.
Who in the entire Desolate Immortal Great World would not want to join a holy land?
Besides, only with a holy land's nurturing could the Supreme Sword Bone's potential be brought out to its fullest, giving him hope of becoming an Immortal Emperor in the future.
She believed that, unless Su Jian was a fool, he ought to switch to the Falling Moon Holy Land!
By then, some elders who had brought their disciples out for training were already rushing up to Su Jian, wanting to recruit him into their sects!
"Su Jian, I am an elder of the Clear Void Sword Sect. You possess astounding talent in the way of the sword. Only our Clear Void Sword Sect is qualified to nurture you!"
The elder was incredibly excited as he tried to win Su Jian over.
Seeing this, Su Jian could not help sneering.
This world really was interesting!
The elder who had once dismissed him and maintained a lofty, superior air had now become so humble and respectful.
How pragmatic!
Su Jian scoffed. "Elder, if I remember correctly, when my aptitude was tested before, you told me to hurry up and get lost?"
The elder forced out a smile uglier than a crying face and explained, "How could that be? I knew all along that you were an unparalleled genius. I was deliberately tempering you!"
"As long as you join our Clear Void Sword Sect, you will step straight into the clouds and soar into the heavens!"
The elder tried hard to win Su Jian over.
He was already filled with regret. If his judgment had been sharper before, there would not have been so much trouble now.
Su Jian looked at him as though he were a clown, utterly unmoved.
"Sorry, I already have a master. Your Clear Void Sword Sect is so supreme and exalted that I wouldn't dare reach above my station!"
Su Jian spoke coldly.
He could not forget how this elder had scorned him just now. Everything he now possessed had been bestowed upon him by his master.
Would it be right for him to turn around and join another sect?
He, Su Jian, could never do something so ungrateful!
"Tch, him? What qualifies him to be your master? He merely happened to be there when your constitution awakened. It would have been the same with or without him!"
The elder scoffed at Ye Chen's presence, not believing that the awakening of Su Jian's constitution had anything to do with him.
What could someone without even a trace of cultivation fluctuations do?
Yet he did not know that his slander of Ye Chen had already caused killing intent to rapidly gather in Su Jian's eyes!
Although they had known each other for less than half an hour, he had already recognized Ye Chen as the person who had changed his fate, bestowed all his talent upon him, and saved his life!
Anyone who dared speak ill of his master was his mortal enemy!
Ye Chen said mildly, "Old geezer, you talk too much."
He disdained bullying the weak. After all, as a dignified Immortal Emperor, he would hardly do something beneath his status.
But if a mosquito kept buzzing beside your ear, could you resist swatting it dead?
"You little brat, you..." The elder flew into a rage, pointing at Ye Chen as he prepared to kill him.
He thought that, as long as he killed Ye Chen, Su Jian would have no choice but to follow him.
Yet before he could even finish speaking, Ye Chen cast him a casual glance, and the elder's body instantly vaporized!
Not even a wisp of bloody mist remained. He vanished into thin air before everyone's eyes!
An uproar erupted!
Everyone nearby could hardly believe their eyes. A living, breathing person had simply disappeared?
Without even the slightest warning?
What exactly had happened?
They all knew that the elder's disappearance must have something to do with Ye Chen, but they had no idea what means Ye Chen had used to make him vanish.
Could the elder really be dead?
But none of them had any idea how he had died!
Only Su Lingyun had her eyes wide with terror at that moment. She had not detected how Ye Chen had acted either.
Yet even with her vast Divine Sense covering over a thousand li in every direction, she could not detect the slightest trace of that elder's presence.
What did that mean?
It meant that the man truly had vanished into thin air!
"What terrifying means! His strength is far above mine. He isn't a mortal, but an unfathomable, peerless expert!"
Su Lingyun had originally intended to invoke the Falling Moon Holy Land's name and compete with Ye Chen for Su Jian.
But how could she dare act rashly now?
She could not even guarantee that she would survive at Ye Chen's hands!
"Even with my Void Refinement Realm cultivation, I still can't gauge his depths! Just what is his background?"
Su Lingyun's eyes were filled with wariness. She no longer dared regard Ye Chen as a mortal.
The remaining elders from the other sects also noticed some clues and scattered, afraid that they, too, might suddenly evaporate from the face of the earth.
However, things here were not over yet, because several powerful presences suddenly appeared on the horizon!
These powerful presences were exceptionally sharp, like Sword Qi soaring into the sky!
In the Falling Moon Region, probably only people from the Clear Void Sword Sect possessed such imposing might.
Moreover, those who had come were definitely figures of great authority with terrifying strength!
"Is that the Clear Void Sword Sect's sect master? And so many of their senior elders? Why have so many of them come?"
Seeing that the Clear Void Sword Sect had actually dispatched such a powerful lineup, the recruiting elders from the other sects wondered if they were hallucinating.
Even the sect master had come in person?
Just how far were they willing to go to fight over Su Jian and his innate Supreme Sword Bone?
