Chapter 522 No Regrets in the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect
Although Ding Hao would be a great help to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect if he came at the moment, it was obvious that he could not change the situation. There was always something incomprehensible about the young man. Each time he could turn everything around in an impossible situation, and it was really a big variable. If he was there, maybe he would do something amazing.
But at the same time, Li Jianyi felt that the sect was a little lucky.
Fortunately, Ding Hao, Li Lan, Xie Jieyu, Feng Ning, and other peerless geniuses of the new generation of the sect were not on the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Mountain because they had joined in the “Sage Battlefield”. Even if everything was really irreparable, and the sect would be exterminated, but these young geniuses would survive the disaster.
They were all the hope of the sect’s future.
As long as these teenagers were still alive, the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect would be able to develop from generation to generation in the future with a rising hope!
Tang Folei’s sonorous and forceful voice came to his ears again.
The Sentencing Hall’s director had a hot temper. He shouted. “Why do you laud the spirit of the enemy and belittle that of our own? Even if the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect is in a desperate situation now, we can’t compromise. Hmph, Fang Xiaoan wants to have the Mysterious Crystal Mine, so he will exchange his life for it. Even if all the sect’s disciples are killed, we will never accept that condition.”
Those words aroused the resonance from many masters present.
“That’s right, let’s fight to the death!”
“If the worst comes to the worst, we’ll die. What’s there to be afraid of?”
“Let‘s die together and make the Tranquility Academy suffer a lot as well!”
All of them were so excited!
Li Jianyi kept silent.
He also wanted to bitterly hit the enemy in the face. He preferred to be a broken jade rather than a complete tile.
However, as the sect chief, he obviously needed to take more into consideration. He couldn’t act at the spur of the moment.
Unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, he found there was no way to satisfy all people. It seemed to be boundless darkness in front of him. There was no light at all. Where was the last hope for the survival of the sect?
At that moment, suddenly—
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Violent explosions and vibrations rang out irresistibly again.
Looking down at the same time, they saw that near the “Yang Lock”, the second pa.s.s, there was a burst of brilliance, runes flas.h.i.+ng, streaks of flowing light whistling, the violent power bursting out, and the power of Qi and inscription surging wildly.
“They’re attacking again… so fast!” Someone exclaimed.
The crowd below, as dense as black ants, rushed toward the “Yang Lock Pa.s.s” with no fear of death. They were like moths in the fire, ready to fight a life-and-death battle.
Li Jianyi’s heart sank slightly.
The other party was so urgent to attack, so it seemed that they were determined to win, and even at the cost of a large number of warriors’ lives. They wanted to break through the mountain gate and they must have some reason, so they were rus.h.i.+ng for time!
“Humph, you’ve gone too far!” Tang Folei’s eyes were full of killing intent. “‘The Blossom Sword’, ‘Jade Master’, Shen Ku, w.a.n.g Xiaosa, Guan Feidu, Yin Yifei, Leng Yixuan, and Lu Qi, you guys lead the successor disciples to deal a head-on blow to the enemy. I want them to suffer half of the losses at the Yang Lock Pa.s.s!”
“Yes, sir.” The dozen or so successor disciples who had been named accepted the order.
Flowing light flashed.
The core disciples of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect went down to fight.
Li Jianyi raised his hand and wanted to say something, but he said nothing in the end.
In the valley’s narrow path, about 300 kilometers away from the Mirror Lake, a chasing to kill was taking place.
“Go! Go quickly! Before those beasts of the Tranquility Academy catch up with us, go along this path. Chen Lin and Li Ke, we will attract the pursuers. Huang Jin, you know the route very well and your lightness skill is the best. Remember, you must come to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Villa alive… Hurry up, don’t worry about us!”
“No, let’s go together!”
“Get the h.e.l.l out of here. The more people survive, the better. We must send the news to the “Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect” in the Mirror Lake. Otherwise, we will be the sinners of the sect.”
“But you…”
“Do you want us to die in front of you right now? Go away!”
Several disciples of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect were covered in blood, roaring. They made a decision after arguing. One of the disciples with the best lightness skill was leaving quickly along a hidden path beside the valley. Meanwhile, he looked back at his companions, holding back his tears.
He knew that it might be a farewell for the rest of his life.
All of that was for the sake of the sect.
For the day’s blood feud, sooner or later, there would be strong people of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect to seek revenge with their swords.
Double revenge!
The snow-colored icy plains quickly covered his figure. In less than 15 minutes after he left, the remaining five or six disciples of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect were surrounded by a group of mad hunters.
“Fight!” The disciples of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect were covered in blood with a will to die. Then, they turned around and fought with their full strength.
Unfortunately, they were outnumbered by the enemy. The gap between their strength was too big.
Soon, these five or six strong men became warm corpses.
Only one leading swordsman was cut off an arm and his power was sealed, and he was tortured while being interrogated.
“Tell me, you have a total of seven people in your team, and which direction has one of your teammates gone?” Tie Sanjin, the head of the pursuers, an elder of the Leiyin Sect, asked coldly. His palm, with the power of thunder and lightning, covered the swordsman’s forehead.
“Bah!” A blood arrow spurted out of the swordsman’s mouth.
Unfortunately, Tie Sanjin was a master in the Inborn Martial Grandmaster Realm and his protective Qi was powerful, how could he be sprayed? With a swing of thunder and lightning around him, the blood arrow was immediately sent back. Like a sharp knife, it cut off the swordsman’s other arm.
“If you don’t tell me, I will let you know what is better to die than to live!” Tie Sanjin said with a gloomy look.
“Ha, hahaha, the Tranquility Academy, the Falling Star Sect, the Leiyin Sect… Don’t be complacent too early. You have offended the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. One day, a genius from the Sect who will force you to pay the price.” The swordsman was tough. Although he was covered in blood with his arms broken, he did not cry out in pain. With angry staring eyes, he laughed loudly. “Martial Granduncle Ding Hao, I, Feng Tianxing, can’t see your heroic posture of crus.h.i.+ng Mu Tianyang on the Frozen Peak… Joining the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, I have no regrets in my life!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
With a smile on his face, the swordsman tilted his head and cut off his breath.
In the whole Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, Feng Tianxing was just an ordinary inner disciple.
His strength was only above average among the inner disciples. He had never shone or amazed the crowd. That time, he and the other 30 or so disciples of the same generation had carefully selected as they were also familiar with the route. They were transmitted to the outside of the mountain gate through the Inscription Transmitting Formation, shouldering the heavy responsibility of going to the Mirror Lake to deliver the message.
Those disciples below the Innate Realm were selected to prevent strong waves of Qi from leaking out and causing masters in local areas to chase after them.
More than 30 disciples were divided into five groups.
In Feng Tianxing’s team, except Huang Jin, other members had all been killed.
Feng Tianxing was Ding Hao’s admirer.
For many ordinary disciples in the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, the Sect Chief, the director of the Sentencing Hall, and the senior officials of the Six Peaks and Six Bases were powerful, but they were unreachable beings. They were still far away from them. They didn’t know when Ding Hao, who rose later, had become a hero and idol in their minds. He was as kind as a friend.
Before the sudden battle among sects, Feng Tianxing was still happily discussing with many companions. At that time, they must go to the Frozen Peak to see the battle that was absolutely able to excite the Snow Province.
But who knew…
“He’s dead.” Tie Sanjin observed for a while, shook his head, and said, “The poison was hidden in his teeth. He committed suicide by swallowing it… It seems that these swordsmen of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect had the determination to die at the beginning. Once they are caught, they will swallow the poison and kill themselves if they cannot withstand the torture!”
The other hunters were also silent with fear.
Although those swordsmen were average in strength, they really deserved respect.
“Think about it. If the disciples in our sect were in such a predicament, would there be such a loyal person like him?”
They had no idea about it.
For some reason, at that moment, there was a faint chill in their hearts.
Such a sect was really horrifying.
If they couldn’t completely eradicate the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, once it recovered, every intruder would face a disaster.
“Let’s bury them.”
Tie Sanjin sighed and felt a little worried.
These six people were respectable warriors.
After they buried Ji Yingnan and collected the spoils of war, they dealt with the huge bodies of the “Demonic Bear Emperor” and the “Demon Royal with Evil Heart”. Ding Hao took Ji Yingqi and two little restless pets to embark on the journey forward.
The king-level “Nine Emperor’s Heart-Protecting Bamboo Shoots” had been soaked in Ji Yingnan’s blood. Ding Hao treated and collected them.
Under Ji Yingqi’s guidance, Ding Hao finally walked out of the underground limestone cave world.
They had completed the seventh section of the ancient road to the west.
On the way, Ding Hao discovered many masters’ corpses of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan.
Some of them were killed by fierce beasts on the ancient road, and their bodies were bitten and broken. Some of them died of self- killing. However, Ding Hao discovered some same strange corpses as he had seen before. Their blood marrow, brains, and hearts were sucked so that they became dried up corpses.
“This man’s technique is getting more and more powerful…” Ding Hao was shocked.
He observed it very carefully.
The mysterious sneak attacker had killed masters from both the Demon Clan and the Human Clan. No one knew which clan he belonged to.
Most importantly, in the beginning, he only used the method of a sneak attack by depending on his luck, but then he killed his rivals directly with fierce means. Almost all of his targets were knocked down in one move, which showed that during that period, his strength had been improved rapidly. When he reached the end of the seventh section of the ancient road to the west, he had already crossed two big realms and reached the Peak of the Martial King Realm.
His strength had improved at a very fast speed.
What kind of exercises had he been practicing so that he could have devoured strong warriors’ hearts, blood marrow, and brains?
Ding Hao faintly felt that a troublemaker was quietly coming into being.
Through the transmission door at the end of the underground limestone cave world, Ding Hao and his team entered the eighth section of the ancient road to the west.
