Xiao Chen: Death to Those Who Trespass Against the Famous Sword Holy Land!
Clang!
With a sword cry, Dao Sword Heaven Piercer.
It pierced through the towering mountain with ease, as easily as piercing through a window, and at the same time, the sword light also pierced through the body of the Earth Qilin.
In that instant, time seemed to stand still. The majestic body of the Earth Qilin was frozen in mid-air, and the terrifying pressure emanating from it vanished like an avalanche, along with the Mount Tai Bears Down it had unleashed.
Before any living beings could react, Dao Sword emanated from the Earth Qilin and pierced through its body.
The Earth Qilin stared in disbelief at the Human Race appeared incredibly weak to it and asked, "This... how is this possible? How can you use techniques that surpass the Great Shaman Realm?"
Xiao Chen said calmly, "Sword cultivators never look at cultivation level, only at Jian Xin. As long as the Jian Xin is firm enough, one can defeat any opponent. Besides, challenging opponents of higher levels is just commonplace for me."
"I... I did not lose unjustly, but the Qilin Clan will not lose. One day, the Qilin Clan will surely rule this land, and you will go to hell with me."
After speaking, the Earth Qilin's body instantly split into two halves, shrinking continuously and plummeting rapidly towards the ground, its soul also dissipating into the world.
Silence reigned. The entire room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
All living beings present looked at Xiao Chen with surprise, admiration, and awe. At this moment, Xiao Chen was enveloped in immortal light. Standing in the sky, he was like a sword immortal descending to earth, causing Gods and Devils to retreat.
Bang!!!
The Earth Qilin's corpse landed with a loud thud, kicking up countless plumes of dust, and its Earth Qilin and blood exuded an alluring aroma.
However, none of the Demon Race present dared to step forward to snatch the corpse of the Earth Qilin; they stood motionless, as if petrified.
Looking down at the demons from his high vantage point, Xiao Chen said calmly, "Those who offend my Famous Sword Holy Land shall die!"
The words were not spoken loudly, but they clearly reached the ears of every Demon Race present, and to them they were like the voice of death.
"Sword God, we were coerced by the Earth Qilin; we did not truly wish to be your enemy."
"Yes, Sword God, please give us a chance."
"..."
Xiao Chen looked at them without a trace of pity and said indifferently, "I gave you chances, but you didn't cherish them."
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually swung the sword in his hand.
Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!
As a Sword Qi shot out, thousands of Dao Sword fell in the blink of an eye.
The Demon Race saw the sword strike and tried to escape, but it was too late.
The sword fell, and blood flowed like a river.
Xiao Chen didn't even glance at the corpses of the Demon Race. With a wave of his hand, he stored the bodies of demon Demon King and above into his storage ring. Then, he returned to Sword Peak and said to the disciples who had arrived late, "There's no need for cultivation today. You can all go and clean up the mess."
A disciple asked, "Master, what is meant by 'cleansing the ground'?"
Xiao Chen said calmly, "I'm just asking you to take the people from the Famous Sword Holy Land to collect the bodies of those demonic beasts. Do you intend to let others benefit from them?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present showed expressions of excitement. They never expected that their master would actually grant them the right to distribute the spoils of war, and they all said in unison, "Thank you, Master."
"Go down."
After speaking, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.
"Promise."
The disciples went down the mountain to tell the people of the Famous Sword Holy Land the good news. Soon after, a large Human Race cultivators walked out of the Famous Sword Holy Land and began to clean the ground.
After Xiao Chen finished his meditation, he took out the Earth Qilin's Demon God Core from his storage ring. He scanned it with his divine sense and found that the power of the Great Dao within the Demon God Core was perfectly preserved. If he could absorb this power of the Great Dao, he would definitely be able to make further progress on the path of Sword Dao.
He then left a message with his sword. "I am going into seclusion to cultivate; you may cultivate on your own."
He then headed towards the back of Sword Peak and swallowed the Demon God Core Pill, beginning to refine the power of the Great Dao within it.
After eighty-one days, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes, muttering, "This Earth Qilin is truly a treasure-bringing child, adding 99 points to my True Essence of Sword Dao. Becoming a saint is not far off."
Within the Dao-Seeking Sect, Chu Feng received system notifications from Cao Youqian and Xiao Chen had comprehended 99 True Essence of the Great Dao, which increased his Dao Resonance by 20. These two lads had gained so many True Essence of the Great Dao in just a few months, which truly surprised him, their master.
However, Chu Feng has become exceptionally busy lately, spending his days making statues.
A few days ago, Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan returned to the sect and informed them that their respective tribes were threatened by the Azure Luan Bird and the Venomous Jiao. Fortunately, they both used the Sword Jade given to them by Chu Feng to suppress them. They also brought back news from Cao Youqian that a great war between the three tribes was imminent.
In order to protect the tribes of his two disciples, Chu Feng decided to gift them two statues. As long as his statues are there, no Demon God can invade their tribe.
He was busy for half a month. That evening, Chu Feng called his two disciples to his side.
Upon seeing Chu Feng, the two quickly bowed and said, "Disciples Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan pay their respects to Master."
"No need for formalities. I know you care deeply for your people. Take these two statues back to your clan for worship. If you encounter danger, simply bow three times and prostrate yourself before these two statues, and I will take care of you."
As Chu Feng spoke, he waved his hand, and two statues appeared in front of the two of them.
Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan looked at the two statues before them, which were exactly like their master, and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master."
Chu Feng said calmly, "I simply want you to cultivate without distractions. These two statues can only withstand my attacks three times. Do not use them recklessly unless there is a crisis of annihilation for your clan."
We will keep in mind our Master's instructions.
The two had returned this time to seek their master's guidance on how to protect their people, and now that their master was willing to help, they were overjoyed.
Chu Feng: "Alright, I will now send you back to your tribe. You only need to imagine the location of your tribe in your mind."
"Promise."
Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan then closed their eyes and began to imagine the location of the tribe.
Chu Feng waved his hand casually, and the two of them disappeared from the spot.
After watching his two senior brothers leave, Lu Ming asked, "Master, will this three-race struggle affect our Dao-Seeking Sect?"
"Of course, as the saying goes, 'When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.' Our Dao-Seeking Sect is located on the Hongyuan Continent, and we cannot avoid the clash of the three major forces. However, you need not worry. Even if the three great demon ancestors come to our door, your master can suppress them."
Chu Feng said nonchalantly, completely disregarding the so-called three great demon ancestors. If they didn't come looking for trouble but actually did, then he would show them why the flowers were so red.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming and the other disciples all showed excited expressions and exclaimed in unison, "Master is indeed the most powerful!"
Chu Feng tapped Lu Ming's antlers with his finger. "When did you learn to flatter? Focus on your cultivation, your master can't protect you forever."
Lu Ming touched his antlers and said, "Master, how could you, with your boundless life, not be able to protect your disciple for a lifetime?"
Chu Feng said, "What you said in the first half is correct, but the second half is problematic. If I were to ascend to the Nine Heavens one day, how could I possibly protect you, brat?"
"Ascension to the Nine Heavens?"
As Lu Ming spoke, he looked up at the sky.
"Since we're all bored anyway, I'll tell you about the cultivation realms after the Demon Ancestor, and what realm you need to reach to ascend to the Nine Heavens."
Chu Feng paused for a moment before beginning his lecture to the disciples.
The disciples present couldn't help but feel longing after hearing Chu Feng's story.
At the same time, Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan felt a sudden darkness and light before their eyes, and they found themselves in the Long River / Heavenly Fire Tribe.
The moment they landed, they realized they were back home. Madam Ji stared at her son, who had appeared out of nowhere, and froze on the spot. After a long while, she finally asked, "Jiuwu, is that you?"
Ji Jiuwu replied, "Yes, Mother, it is indeed your son."
"How did you suddenly appear, and why are you carrying a statue?"
Madam Ji then noticed a statue next to her son, but for some reason she couldn't make out the face on it at all.
Ji Jiuwu explained to his mother, "Mother, I was sent back by my master. This statue was a gift from my master to our Long River Tribe. I will take this statue to the sacrificial hall now."
"Slow."
Madam Ji stopped her son and asked, "Do you know whose statue is displayed in the sacrificial hall?"
Ji Jiuwu wasn't stupid; he immediately realized that the sacrificial hall was dedicated to the Water God. If he were to place his master's statue inside, it would be disrespectful to his master, and many people in the clan would object. It might even bring about an unexpected disaster.
He immediately said, "Mother, I was confused. Then let's keep this statue in our home. If our Long River Tribe is ever wiped out, you and Father only need to kowtow three times and nine times to get Master's help."
Madam Ji nodded and said, "This matter still needs to be discussed with your father and grandfather, so that they can also be prepared."
"Good."
Ji Jiuwu agreed without even thinking.
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Fire Tribe, Jiang Yan placed the statue directly in the ancestral hall of his residence. In his view, his lineage would only worship his master from now on, and not anyone else.
The next day, after explaining everything to their clansmen, the two returned to the Dao-Seeking Sect. Now, the only thing they could do was become stronger...
