2743 Complete Defeat
In the meeting hall.
w.a.n.g Dong prepared the wine and waited for Nie Chen to return victorious.
In his opinion, there should not be any accidents in this battle.
When Nie Chen condensed his Dao Fruit and entered the Perfected One realm, he attracted the Seven of Nine Heavenly Tribulation. This was rare in the Sword World as well.
Furthermore, Nie Chen’s combat strength was ranked in the top five among the Convergence realm sword cultivators of Carnage Sword Peak.
Indeed!
Before long, Nie Chen appeared at the entrance of the meeting hall.
w.a.n.g Dong welcomed him with a smile and praised, “It hasn’t even been five minutes. Junior Brother Nie, you’re indeed fast.”
When Nie Chen heard that, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
When w.a.n.g Dong saw that Nie Chen’s expression was not right and he was a little depressed, he could not help but frown slightly.
He focused his gaze and realized that there were two fine sword marks on Nie Chen’s glabella.
Although the wounds had already healed, faint traces of them could still be seen.
“You lost, Junior Brother Nie?”
w.a.n.g Dong probed.
Nie Chen sighed. “This cultivator from the Heavenly World does have some skills. I can’t defeat him.”
w.a.n.g Dong consoled, “It’s fine. Junior Brother Nie, don’t be discouraged. All cultivators of our generation have been defeated before.”
Nie Chen smiled bitterly.
In reality, it would be fine if he was merely defeated.
However, he was truly defeated too thoroughly. The other party did not even use a weapon but he could not even last a single round.
This was a huge blow to him!
When w.a.n.g Dong saw that Nie Chen was dispirited, he encouraged, “Junior Brother Nie, don’t be so hard on yourself. The Sword Dao of the sword cultivators of Carnage Sword Peak is meant to kill.”
“He’s a guest from afar. It’s understandable that you lost because you restrained yourself so as to not unleash the true strength of the Carnage Sword Dao.”
“I think things might be different in a life and death battle.”
Nie Chen opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something but hesitated.
It was not that he could not unleash his full strength, but Su Zimo did not give him the chance at all!
If it was a life and death battle earlier on, he would have died countless times.
The two of them did not manage to chat for long when a sword cultivator suddenly ran over in a hurry from outside and panted. “Senior Brother w.a.n.g, after Senior Brother Nie was defeated, Chu Xuan and the other senior brothers and sisters could not stand it anymore and stood out to challenge that person…”
“Preposterous!”
w.a.n.g Dong berated, “If they wanted to spar, they naturally have to do it in a fair environment. Junior Brother Nie has already sparred with him today. No matter what, they should give him a day to rest before going at it again.”
“Even if they defeat him because they took turns to wear him down, it’ll be unethical. If word gets out, people will even say that our Sword World bullied outsiders!”
The sword cultivator had an embarra.s.sed expression and stammered softly, “It’s not certain who’s bullying who.”
“What are you muttering about?”
w.a.n.g Dong frowned. “Hurry back and stop Junior Sister Chu Xuan and the others. The other party is Junior Sister Beiming’s master in name. Don’t be rude. We can’t take turns fighting.”
The sword cultivator had an awkward expression. “Senior Brother w.a.n.g, it’s too late for you to say that. Everything was already over by the time I rushed over.”
“It’s over?”
w.a.n.g Dong was a little exasperated and asked, “Did you hurt Fellow Daoist Su?”
The corners of Nie Chen’s mouth twitched a few more times.
“Um…”
The sword cultivator could not help but roll his eyes. “Senior Brother w.a.n.g, you might not know this Su fellow’s methods yet. Senior Sister Chu Xuan and more than ten other sword cultivators went forward but were defeated by him in less than a round!”
“Hmm?”
w.a.n.g Dong raised his eyebrows.
Junior Sister Chu Xuan and more than ten sword cultivators challenged this person one after another and were all defeated?
w.a.n.g Dong looked at Nie Chen instinctively.
Nie Chen coughed gently. “I forgot to mention earlier on that I couldn’t even last a single round against that person.”
“Is he that strong?”
The scene of his first encounter with Su Zimo appeared in w.a.n.g Dong’s mind. He did not seem to feel any threat from the other party.
w.a.n.g Dong pondered for a moment and asked, “Did this person make use of some powerful spirit treasure?”
Nie Chen said, “When he fought me, he s.n.a.t.c.hed the sword in my hands right in front of me with his bare hands and injured me. Twice.”
He s.n.a.t.c.hed away the sword of a sword cultivator with his bare hands!
w.a.n.g Dong nodded to himself. It seemed like this person was indeed capable.
w.a.n.g Dong asked again, “What divine powers or secret skills did he use?”
“Nothing.”
The sword cultivator shook his head.
“What do you mean?”
w.a.n.g Dong did not understand and asked instinctively, “Didn’t you guys see the origin of the divine powers or secret skills he released?”
The sword cultivator replied honestly, “He didn’t release any divine powers or secret skills…”
w.a.n.g Dong was stunned and could not react for a moment.
There were no divine powers or secret skills released in the fight between Perfected Immortals?
The sword cultivator said, “That person relied on straightforward punches and kicks to defeat Senior Sister Chu Xuan and the others…”
Right then, another sword cultivator sped over from outside.
The moment he entered the hall, the sword cultivator shouted, “Senior Brother w.a.n.g, that person has already defeated more than 40 sword cultivators in succession in front of Junior Sister Beiming’s cave abode.”
w.a.n.g Dong’s heart skipped a beat and his breathing became a little unstable.
He had just defeated Chu Xuan and more than ten other sword cultivators. Not much time had pa.s.sed and he defeated another 20-odd sword cultivators?
It was already embarra.s.sing enough to take turns fighting him.
However, if they suffered such thorough defeats despite taking turns to fight him, the reputation of Carnage Sword Peak in the Sword World would be completely destroyed.
At that moment, w.a.n.g Dong could not care less.
No matter what, Su Zimo came from the Heavenly World. As sword cultivators of the Sword World, they naturally could not show weakness.
w.a.n.g Dong said in a deep voice, “Call Junior Brother Bu Yao and Junior Brother Wen Zheng to see me!”
“Senior Brother Bu Yao and Senior Brother Wen Zheng have already rushed over when they heard about this.” The sword cultivator said hurriedly.
w.a.n.g Dong heaved a sigh of relief and nodded slightly. “That’s good.”
Nie Chen and the other sword cultivators exchanged glances, feeling uneasy.
They had witnessed Su Zimo’s methods and truly experienced that invincible might.
Although Bu Yao and Wen Zheng were top experts among Convergence Perfected Immortals on Carnage Sword Peak, it was difficult to say who would win against this person.
w.a.n.g Dong seemed to be unable to sit still either. He took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go. I’ll go take a look and see how capable this person is. I’ll hold the fort for Junior Brothers Bu Yao and Wen Zheng.”
Before w.a.n.g Dong and the others could walk out of the meeting hall, another sword cultivator rushed over from afar.
w.a.n.g Dong’s heart sank when he saw this person’s fl.u.s.tered expression.
“Senior Brother w.a.n.g, bad news!”
When the sword cultivator saw w.a.n.g Dong, he shouted, “Senior Brothers Bu Yao and Wen Zheng were knocked out by two slaps from that person and did not even manage to draw their swords!”
That news was like a shocking bolt of lightning that struck w.a.n.g Dong until he felt a little dizzy.
Wasn’t Bu Yao and Wen Zheng defeated too quickly?
As sword cultivators, they did not even manage to draw their swords. If word got out, they would probably become the greatest joke of the eight Sword Peaks!
