Chapter 646: Xiao Chen: Those Who Offend My Famous Sword Holy Land Shall Die!
Clang!
Accompanied by a sword chime, a streak of sword light sliced through the sky.
It penetrated that majestic mountain as easily as poking through window paper, 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 Earth Qilin's majestic body froze in mid-air, and the terrifying pressure on its body dissipated instantly like an avalanche, along with its Mount Tai Crushing Top move.
The living creatures present had not yet reacted to understand what was happening when a sword light emitted from the Earth Qilin's body, piercing it through.
The Earth Qilin looked with disbelief at the human before it, who appeared incredibly weak, and asked, "How... how is this possible? Why can you use moves that surpass the Great Witch Realm?"
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "Sword cultivators never look at cultivation base, only the Sword Heart. As long as the Sword Heart is determined enough, one can defeat any opponent. Besides, challenging across ranks is nothing more than a common occurrence for me."
"I... I was not defeated unjustly, but the Qilin clan will not lose. One day, the Qilin clan will surely rule this land, and you will join me in hell."
After the Earth Qilin finished speaking, its body instantly split into two halves, shrinking continuously as it plummeted rapidly toward the ground. Its divine soul also dissipated between heaven and earth.
Silence; the entire scene was so quiet that even a falling needle could be heard.
All the creatures present cast gazes of surprise, worship, and awe toward Xiao Chen. At this moment, Xiao Chen was enveloped in immortal light; standing in the sky, he was like a Sword Immortal descending to the world, causing gods and demons to retreat.
Boom!!!
After the Earth Qilin's corpse landed, it issued a loud noise, shaking up countless dust clouds. The Earth Qilin's flesh and blood emitted an alluring aura.
But none of the demon race present dared to step forward to snatch the Earth Qilin's corpse; they stood motionless in their places, as if petrified.
Xiao Chen looked down from above at these demons and said indifferently, "Those who offend my Famous Sword Holy Land shall die!"
This sentence was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every demon present. To them, this sentence was like the sound of the Death God.
"Sword God Lord above, we were coerced by the Earth Qilin and did not truly intend to be your enemy."
"Yes, Sword God Lord, please give us a chance."
"..."
Xiao Chen had not a trace of pity in his eyes as he looked at them and said indifferently, "I gave you a chance, but it is a pity you did not cherish it."
As the words fell, he waved the sword in his hand casually.
Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!
Accompanied by a sword qi flying out, in the blink of an eye, ten thousand streaks of sword light fell.
When those of the demon race saw this sword, they wanted to flee, but it was too late.
The swords fell, and rivers of blood flowed.
Xiao Chen did not take another look at the corpses of these demons. With a wave of his large hand, he collected the bodies of the Demon Kings and above into his Storage Ring, then took a step to return to Sword Peak.
He said to the disciples who had arrived late, "There is no need for cultivation today; you all go wash the ground."
A disciple asked, "Master, what is washing the ground?"
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "It means letting you lead the people of Famous Sword Holy Land to collect those demon beast corpses. Could it be you want to let others have the advantage?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present revealed excited expressions. They never expected that their Master would actually give them the right to distribute the spoils of war.
They said in unison, "Thank you, Master."
"You may leave."
After speaking, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and began to meditate and regulate his breath.
"Yes."
The disciples went down the mountain one after another to inform the people of Famous Sword Holy Land of this good news. In a short while, a mighty host of human cultivators walked out of Famous Sword Holy Land and began to wash the ground.
After Xiao Chen finished regulating his breath, he took out the Earth Qilin's Demon God Pill from his Storage Ring. He scanned it with his divine consciousness and found that the power of the Great Dao within the Demon God Pill was completely preserved.
If he could absorb this power of the Great Dao, he would surely take a step further on the path of the Sword Dao.
He immediately used his sword to leave a message: I am going into seclusion to cultivate; you all cultivate on your own.
Subsequently, he walked toward the back mountain of Sword Peak, swallowed the Demon God Pill, and began to refine the power of the Great Dao within it.
Ninety-nine days later, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "This Earth Qilin was truly a gift-bearing child; it increased my Sword Dao True Meaning by ninety-nine, so becoming a Saint is not far off."
...
Inside Wen Dao Sect, Chu Feng received system notifications these past few days that Cao Youqian and Xiao Chen had realized ninety-nine Great Dao True Meanings successively. This increased his Dao Rhyme by twenty.
These two boys had increased so much Great Dao True Meaning in just a few short months, which really surprised him as their master.
However, recently Chu Feng had become extraordinarily busy, spending every day making statues.
A few days ago, Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan returned to the sect and reported that their respective tribes were threatened by the Green Luan Bird and the Poison Flood Dragon. Fortunately, both used the Sword Jade given by Chu Feng to suppress them.
At the same time, they brought back news similar to Cao Youqian's: the war of the three races was approaching.
To protect the clansmen of his two disciples, Chu Feng decided to gift them two statues. As long as his statues were present, no Demon God would be able to invade their tribes.
He was busy for half a month. On this day at dusk, Chu Feng called the two disciples to his side.
Seeing Chu Feng, the two hurriedly saluted, "Disciple Ji Jiuwu, Disciple Jiang Yan, pay respects to Master."
"No need for excessive courtesy. I know you are concerned about your clansmen. Take these two statues back to your tribes for worship."
"If you encounter danger, just bow three times and kowtow nine times toward these statues, and I will naturally take action."
As Chu Feng spoke, he waved his hand, and two statues appeared before the two of them.
Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan looked at the two statues before them that looked exactly like their Master and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master."
Chu Feng said indifferently, "I simply want you to cultivate without distractions. These two statues can only withstand me taking action three times. Do not use them indiscriminately unless there is a crisis of exterminating the tribe."
"We will keep Master's instructions in mind."
The purpose of their return this time was to seek a way from their Master to protect their clansmen. Now that the Master was willing to take action, they were ecstatic.
Chu Feng said, "Alright, I will now send you back to your tribes. You just need to visualize the location of your tribes in your minds."
"Yes."
Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan immediately closed their eyes and began to visualize the directions of their tribes.
Chu Feng waved his hand casually, and the two disappeared from the spot.
Seeing the two senior brothers leave, Lu Ming immediately asked, "Master, will this three-race hegemony affect our Wen Dao Sect?"
"Naturally. As the saying goes: under a toppled nest, how can there be unbroken eggs? Our Wen Dao Sect is on the Hongyuan Continent. When the three major forces clash, we cannot avoid it."
"However, you do not need to worry. Even if the three great Demon Ancestors come to our door, I can suppress them."
Chu Feng spoke lightly, not taking the so-called three great Demon Ancestors to heart at all. If they did not come to trouble him, that would be fine, but if they really came, he would show them why the flowers were so red.
Lu Ming and the other disciples heard this, and excited expressions appeared on their faces. They said in unison, "Master is indeed the most powerful."
Chu Feng tapped the antlers on Lu Ming's head with his finger. "When did you kid learn to flatter? Cultivate properly. I cannot protect you for a lifetime."
Lu Ming touched his own antlers and said, "Master, you have boundless longevity; how could you not be able to protect your disciple for a lifetime?"
Chu Feng said, "The first half of your sentence is correct, but the second half has a problem. One day, I will ascend beyond the Nine Heavens, so how can I still protect you, kid?"
"Ascend beyond the Nine Heavens?"
Lu Ming said this as he raised his head to look at the sky.
"Since I am idle anyway, I will tell you about the cultivation realms after Demon Ancestor, and what realm one must cultivate to ascend beyond the Nine Heavens."
Chu Feng paused for a moment and began to lecture the disciples.
The disciples present heard what Chu Feng was recounting and could not help but feel yearning in their hearts.
At the same time, Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan only felt their eyes go dark and then light up, and they appeared within the Long River Tribe and Sky Fire Tribe respectively.
The moment they landed, they realized they had returned home. Madam Ji looked at her son who appeared out of thin air and stood there stunned. After a while, she asked, "Jiuwu, is that you?"
Ji Jiuwu said, "Replying to Mother, it is indeed your child."
"How did you suddenly appear, and why are you bringing a statue?"
Only then did Madam Ji notice there was a statue beside her son, but for some reason, she could not clearly see the face on the statue.
Ji Jiuwu explained to his mother, "Mother, I was sent back by Master. This statue is a gift from Master to our Long River Tribe. I will take this statue to the sacrificial hall now."
"Wait."
Madam Ji stopped her son and said, "Do you know whose statue is placed in the sacrificial hall?"
Ji Jiuwu was not a fool and immediately reacted. The sacrificial hall enshrined the Water God. If he put his Master's statue in, it would be disrespectful to his Master.
At the same time, many people in the tribe would oppose it, and it might even lead to unwarranted disaster.
He immediately said, "Mother, your child was confused. Then this statue will be placed in our home. If our Long River Tribe encounters a catastrophe, you and Father just need to bow three times and kowtow nine times to make Master take action."
Madam Ji nodded and said, "This matter still needs to be discussed with your father and grandfather so they can be prepared."
"Alright."
Ji Jiuwu agreed without thinking.
On the other side, in the Sky Fire Tribe, Jiang Yan directly placed the statue in the ancestral hall of his residence. In his view, from now on, his lineage would only worship Master and no one else.
The next day, after explaining everything to their clansmen, the two returned to Wen Dao Sect. Now the only thing they could do was become stronger...
