2741 Challenge
The Sword Cleansing Pool at the foot of Carnage Sword Peak no longer caused much damage to Beiming Xue.
However, on this day, Beiming Xue changed her method and cultivated beneath the sword qi waterfall of Carnage Sword Peak!
This was much more dangerous than cultivating in the Sword Cleansing Pool.
Carnage Sword Peak towered into the clouds and the sword qi waterfall that fell from the peak was extremely lethal!
On the first day that Beiming Xue headed to the bottom of the sword qi waterfall, she was severely injured by the sword qi waterfall and fainted in the Sword Cleansing Pool again before she could last for even half an hour.
It was Su Zimo who appeared in time again and brought Beiming Xue back to her cave abode.
“Sigh, Junior Sister Beiming must be out of her mind!”
“Cultivating the Dao is not a rush to success to begin with. How can anyone torture themselves like Junior Sister Beiming?”
“There’s no way Junior Sister Beiming could have thought of such an inhuman cultivation method. That Su fellow must have forced her!”
The sword cultivators of Carnage Sword Peak were indignant and felt even more disgusted and conflicted towards Su Zimo’s existence.
Meeting Hall of Carnage Sword Peak.
“This is too ridiculous!”
A Perfected One realm sword cultivator stood out and complained, “Ever since that Su fellow came to our Sword World, how much has Junior Sister Beiming been tortured by him?”
“That Su fellow said that he’s here to visit the Sword World. However, for the past month or so, he’s mostly hiding in Junior Sister Beiming’s cave abode and rarely appears. I think he’s afraid of people from our Sword World!”
“Peak Master thinks highly of Junior Sister Beiming. What did he say?”
In the meeting hall, many sword cultivators gathered and discussed spiritedly. Many of them looked at w.a.n.g Dong, who was sitting in the middle and was also the number one of Carnage Sword Peak.
w.a.n.g Dong said, “Master is naturally concerned about this as well. However, he’s not only the Peak Master of our Carnage Sword Peak, he’s also a Grotto-heaven realm expert. Given his status and realm, it’s not appropriate for him to interfere in this matter.”
“We have to think of a way to resolve this matter ourselves.”
w.a.n.g Dong had always liked Beiming Xue. However, he had never expressed it publicly.
Over the past few days, his heart ached when he saw Beiming Xue suffer.
However, he was the number one of Carnage Sword Peak after all and was already at the Paradise Void Perfected One realm. He could be considered a peak Perfected Immortal. If he went to look for Su Zimo, it would be considered bullying the weak.
In the Sword World, the most important thing was fairness.
Unless there were extremely special circ.u.mstances, it was tacitly agreed that only cultivators of the same cultivation realm could spar in the Sword World.
If someone relied on the fact that their cultivation realm was higher than the other party’s, even if they won, they would not win the respect of sword cultivators and would even attract criticism and ridicule.
For example, Su Zimo was now a Convergence Perfected Immortal. In the Sword World, only Convergence Perfected Immortals could spar with him.
Even if someone was only a single realm above him at the Celestial Being realm, it would be an unfair win in the eyes of many sword cultivators.
“Senior Brother w.a.n.g, think of a way.”
A sword cultivator said, “If this continues, Junior Sister Beiming will probably be crippled by that Su fellow!”
“That’s right. Even the Peak Master praised Junior Sister Beiming’s talent in the Sword Dao. How can we let her by destroyed in that person’s hands?”
w.a.n.g Dong pondered for a long time and a sword glint flashed through his eyes, as though he had made up his mind. “Seems like that’s the only way.”
“Our Carnage Sword Peak will choose the strongest Convergence Perfected Immortal to spar with Fellow Daoist Su.”
“If we can defeat him, we’ll take the opportunity to persuade him to back off.”
“Fellow Daoist Su will probably be too embarra.s.sed to be Junior Sister Beiming’s master as long as he loses in front of everyone.”
Chu Xuan nodded. “That’s right. If he can’t even defeat us, he’s not worthy of being Junior Sister Beiming’s master!”
“I’ll do it!”
Chu Xuan was the first to stand out. “No matter what, Fellow Daoist Su was brought back by us. I’m responsible for this.”
“You…”
w.a.n.g Dong pondered in silence and hesitated.
Chu Xuan was a Convergence Perfected Immortal. However, her combat strength could only be considered top-tier at this level and was not the strongest.
w.a.n.g Dong said slowly, “This battle is extremely important. We have to guarantee victory. On the one hand, it’s to save Junior Sister Beiming from danger. On the other hand, we can’t weaken the reputation of our Sword World!”
“Let me do it.”
Right then, a sword cultivator stood out and said indifferently.
Nie Chen!
He was one of the most famous paragons of Carnage Sword Peak!
Among the ordinary disciples, only Beiming Xue had ever defeated him.
When he underwent the Tribulation Transcendence and ascended, he attracted the Seven of Nine Heavenly Tribulation!
When w.a.n.g Dong saw Nie Chen stand out, he was relieved and nodded. “With Junior Brother Nie around, there’s no doubt about the outcome of this battle.”
“However, there are some things I should remind you.”
w.a.n.g Dong thought for a moment before saying, “I have a feeling that this person might have some powerful trump cards. Junior Brother Nie, don’t be careless when fighting him.”
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother.”
Nie Chen said, “If I attack, I’ll give it my all no matter who my opponent is. I don’t underestimate my opponents.”
w.a.n.g Dong smiled again. “However, Junior Brother Nie, you have to know your limits as well. After all, the other party is a guest from afar and was once Junior Sister Beiming’s master. If you can win easily, you have to stop after merely teaching him a lesson. Don’t be rude.”
Nie Chen pouted. “I won’t harm his life. When the time comes, I’ll teach him a lesson that’ll be etched in his bones.”
“Mm, that’s good.”
w.a.n.g Dong was relieved and said with a smile, “I won’t go over, lest Fellow Daoist Su feels too much pressure. I’ll prepare some good wine and wait for you to return victorious, Junior Brother Nie.”
Nie Chen raised his head slightly and said proudly, “Senior Brother, you have to prepare quickly. I’ll be back soon!”
When the other sword cultivators heard that, they cheered as well and sped towards Beiming Xue’s cave abode with Nie Chen.
Before long, Nie Chen and the others arrived before Beiming Xue’s cave abode.
Along the way, it naturally attracted many sword cultivators to watch the battle and caused a huge commotion. When they arrived at the cave abode, more than half of the sword cultivators of Carnage Sword Peak were attracted over.
Apart from some sword ranking battles arranged by the Sword World, it had been a long time since Carnage Sword Peak was so lively.
Before Nie Chen could shout, a sword cultivator could no longer hold it in and went forward to knock.
Su Zimo was healing Beiming Xue in his cave abode and could not help but frown when he sensed the commotion outside.
“What’s going on outside?”
Beiming Xue had just started healing and her Essence Spirit was weak. She could not detect the situation outside and asked softly.
“Wait a moment. I’ll go out and take a look.”
In a flash, Su Zimo arrived in front of the cave abode and pushed the door open.
When they saw Su Zimo walk out, the commotion outside the door quietened down.
In the past month, Su Zimo used the h.e.l.l Boundless Springs and had already purged the two curses in his body, recovering to his original state.
“Why are you guys here?”
Su Zimo asked.
Nie Chen carried a sword in his arms and walked towards Su Zimo slowly, saying, “Fellow Daoist, I heard that you’re from the Heavenly World. I’m Nie Chen, a Convergence Perfected Immortal. I’d like to spar with you!”
