Chapter 1916: 1916
Having advanced to the Netherpa.s.sage realm, the old man’s power had skyrocketed . The Heaven Splitting Battle was roaring like a wild beast aching to slaughter .
All the other divine items that were raised against it were cut in two by the Heaven Splitting Blade . The old man’s power was explosive, and each strike of his sword killed its target . He attacked seven times, killing seven Netherpa.s.sage experts .
“Heavens, is he a G.o.d? He’s crazy!” The Martial Heaven Alliance’s disciples were all dumbfounded . They had never seen someone like this, who slew Netherpa.s.sage experts so easily .
“Run!”
No one was able to stop the old man with the Heaven Splitting Blade . Terrified, they knew fleeing was their only choice .
“Split the Heavens 8!” The old man roared and a fierce sword-image appeared, shaking the world . s.p.a.ce twisted so wildly that it was impossible to see anything .
The only thing they could hear was rumbling . It was like heaven and earth had been split . They gradually returned to their senses, and their vision was restored . Their realm wasn’t even high enough to see that attack .
After that attack, all they saw was seven figures tumbling back, wildly spurting blood . Their divine items had crumbled in their hands .
The other Netherpa.s.sage experts had vanished . Even Li Tianxuan and the patriarch were startled .
Li Tianxuan sighed, “The nine forms of Split the Heavens would make even ghosts and G.o.ds flee . This kind of power is unstoppable . ”
The current old man was like a tiger off his mountain, a dragon soaring out of the sea . Although he had just advanced to the Netherpa.s.sage realm, with the Heaven Splitting Blade in his hand, he was dominating these experienced Netherpa.s.sage experts .
One of the Xuan Beast experts tried to stabilize himself as he tumbled back, but then a ray of Sword Qi severed his head .
A pale hand caught the head, and a woman appeared in the air, her sword stained with blood . Pointing her sword at the other Netherpa.s.sage experts, she shouted, “Surrender and I’ll spare your lives . ”
Upon seeing that woman, Ye Lingshan was delighted . It was her master, the head of the Martial Heaven Alliance, Qu Jianying .
Behind Qu Jianying was a group of over ten Netherpa.s.sage experts who surrounded these people .
“Even if you surrender, you’ll still die . ”
However, the old man didn’t listen and continued to attack the heavily injured Netherpa.s.sage experts . Each slash of his blade took one of their lives, and they were all killed .
On his own, the old man had killed almost all the Netherpa.s.sage experts . He was a bit out of breath, but the bloodstains on him made him appear even more domineering .
The old man stabbed the Heaven Splitting Blade into the ground . Leaning on it, he looked at Qu Jianying without saying anything .
“This again . ” Long Chen clapped his head, feeling a headache coming on . These two could never get along .
“You… hmph, so after advancing to the Netherpa.s.sage realm, you think you can go against me?!” Qu Jianying roared furiously . The old man wasn’t giving her any face .
“Your words are stupid . First of all, even without advancing to the Netherpa.s.sage realm, I could still go against you . Second, these idiots insulted my children . What’s wrong with the elder standing up for the children? Could it be that I have to be like a certain coward who doesn"t dare to say anything even after their own disciples are killed?” snorted the old man disdainfully .
“What do you think you’re saying?!” raged Qu Jianying .
“Hey, let’s all calm down . Don’t you think two seniors shouting at each other is a bit unsuitable in front of a hundred thousand disciples?”
Long Chen hastily flew forward, trying to mediate things . These two seemed to get worse tempers as they got older . If they were to really start fighting, that would be a giant joke .
Only then did Qu Jianying notice that over a hundred thousand disciples of the Martial Heaven Alliance were staring at them oddly .
Taking a deep breath, she said, “Some people forget past favors, even forgetting just who to thank for advancing to the Netherpa.s.sage realm . ”
Qu Jianying’s eyes reddened slightly . She had made painstaking efforts to help the old man, but in the end, it was Long Chen who had managed to convince the old man to use her help .
Now, the old man had advanced to the Netherpa.s.sage realm, and if he didn’t want to listen to her, fine . But he actually went against her, putting her in such an embarra.s.sing situation in front of so many people . She felt a bit aggrieved .
The old man’s expression immediately changed, and he was about to retort . “I-”
However, Long Chen hastily grabbed him, saying, “Alright, now isn’t the time to argue about this . There’s been major events in the Yin Yang World, so we have to hurry up . Discussing the important matters take precedence . ”
“If you want to discuss something, discuss it yourselves . I’m just an old man, and there’s nothing for me to say . In any case, it won’t matter what I say . I’m leaving, and if you need something, just send me a message . The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect will fight . ”
After saying that, the old man beckoned to Bao Buping and Chang Hao . The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples could only follow the old man as he left . Bao Buping and Chang Hao helplessly waved goodbye .
Long Chen smiled . “Alliance head, you shouldn’t argue with him . You know he has a temper . You heard what he said, as long as the Martial Heaven Alliance goes to war, he will join in . He just has a bad way of showing it . ”
The old man was truly too stubborn, but the alliance head herself wasn’t much better off in that regard . She knew that he had that kind of temper but was still instantly provoked . As for the old man, seeing Qu Jianying aggrieved because of him, he had clearly felt guilty yet refused to lower his head . Was saying a few nice words really that difficult?
The old man didn’t even ask Long Chen what had happened in the Yin Yang World before leaving . He clearly didn’t want to stay here .
The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s people, from top to bottom, all had very direct characters . If they liked you, they would be willing to give their lives for you . If they didn’t like you, they wouldn’t even look at you . So their characters didn’t make them get along with the rest of the world .
Qu Jianying looked at the stubborn back of the old man as he left . Her mouth opened and shut a few times, but she didn’t say anything in the end .
“Let’s go . We can talk once we’re back at the Martial Heaven Alliance . ” Qu Jianying waved her hand, bringing them back to the headquarters . With Qu Jianying and the others’ protection, they were finally returning .
Upon returning to the headquarters, the disciples finally relaxed . They felt like they had just gone through tribulation and been reborn . Some of the female disciples were even crying . The feeling of living was good .
Although they hadn’t felt fear in that intense battle to the death, that was because in that situation, they couldn’t afford to do so . Now that it was over, a lingering fear appeared .
On the other hand, the Dragonblood Legion’s people were all calm as if they hadn’t gone through anything at all . That made the Martial Heaven Alliance’s disciples feel even greater admiration for them .
They were true warriors . That intense slaughter was something that the Dragonblood Legion was already used to .
The young disciples began conversing with the Dragonblood warriors with great reverence . The headquarters became very lively .
“You should be the brilliant disciple of Daoist Heavenly Feather of the Divine Ice Palace . ” Once they were back, Qu Jianying turned toward Ye Zhiqiu .
“I don’t dare to accept that praise, but yes, my master is Daoist Heavenly Feather . Ye Zhiqiu greets the alliance head . ” Ye Zhiqiu bowed slightly .
Qu Jianying smiled . “It seems Daoist Heavenly Feather is still my senior…”
“Then does that mean I can call you senior apprentice-sister in the future?” Long Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened .
“Little brat, you dare to take advantage of me? Are you itching for a beating?” cursed Qu Jianying .
“How can it count as taking advantage? According to reason, Ye Zhiqiu is from the same generation as me and even my lover . Her master is your senior, so she should call you senior apprentice-sister, as should I,” said Long Chen .
“You… you little brat, which relation matters more, my relation with the old man or her master?”
“Well… that’s true . Then how about while Zhiqiu is present, I’ll call you senior apprentice-sister, and while she’s not, I’ll call you based on the old man’s relations.h.i.+p with you…”
“Brat, you really are the same as that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d! As expected, the master raises the same kind of disciple!”
“Cough…” Li Tianxuan suddenly had a coughing fit, and the patriarch had a bitter smile . It seemed that even they had been included in this cursing .
“I’m not talking about you two . I’m talking about that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d who’s like a dung-covered rock, stinky and hard . ” Only then did Qu Jianying recall that Long Chen wasn’t just a disciple of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect but also the Xuantian Dao Sect .
Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Ye Lingshan, and the others all covered a smile .
“You, keep your mouth shut! I’ll handle you later . ” Qu Jianying didn’t give Long Chen any chance to keep quibbling . She turned to Mo Nian . “The Mo family was once a blazing sun in this world . With them leading it, the ancient family alliance was a force to be reckoned with . Although the Mo family has now declined, don’t you think doing such dishonorable things all day is an embarra.s.sment to your ancestors?”
