Chapter 986: 986
“Golden Scale Shield!” Xie Wei was a powerful expert and he didn’t panic . He spread his hands, a golden shield appearing before him .
That golden scale was formed of countless runes stacked against each other like scales . He was clearly a metal attribute expert . His defensive strength was far above average .
But this golden shield was as weak as paper in front of Yue Zifeng’s Sword Qi . It was instantly cut through .
Xie Wei was startled, instinctively moving his head aside . The Sword Qi struck his shoulder and continued down, cutting him in two . Blood splashed everywhere .
“AH!”
Only now did Xie Wei let out a miserable scream . It was unknown whether it was because of the pain, or because of terror, but his voice was exceedingly mournful .
Yue Zifeng sheathed his sword, his expression cold . It was like this was nothing more than an insignificant event .
“He… he has reached the first level of mastery in sword intent!” Other than Elder Sha, the other three Elders were shocked .
Even before entering the Immemorial Path, Yue Zifeng had condensed an embryonic form of his sword intent . Once he had left, through Ling Yunzi’s pointers, he had comprehended the true essence of the Sword Dao .
This so-called sword intent was the will of the Sword Dao . There were millions of people who used swords, but less than one percent were actually able to gain insight into the Sword Dao . Only a few were able to firmly pledge their life to the sword and become a sword cultivator .
Sword cultivators sacrificed all magical arts and Battle Skills that didn’t focus on the Sword Dao . Their specialization into the sword reached the point of rather dying than wavering . Only such people were qualified to be called sword cultivators .
Furthermore, even amongst sword cultivators, over ninety-nine percent of people were unable to comprehend the true will of the Sword Dao . They were still dithering outside the Sword Dao . Someone who could condense their own sword intent was a genius of the Sword Dao .
The most terrifying thing about Yue Zifeng’s attack was that Xie Wei was unable to heal it . Even as he used his Heavenly Dao energy to paste his body back together, his blood didn’t stop pouring out of his injury . There was some kind of bizarre energy ruining his healing, rendering his Heavenly Dao energy ineffective .
Even Long Chen was shocked by this . The power of Yue Zifeng’s Sword Dao was so domineering as to suppress even Heavenly Dao energy .
It was no wonder Ling Yunzi would turn Yue Zifeng from a Celestial into an ordinary cultivator . Within a sword cultivator’s destructive power lay an indescribable, miraculous energy .
“Brother, you should change your name in the future . Your tool for carrying on your ancestral line has been completely crippled . Calling yourself Yang Wei would be more close-fitting,” called Guo Ran . He was truly evil to hit him while he was down .
Guo Ran’s words were an unshakable fact . That treasure used to carry out his ancestral line had been destroyed by Yue Zifeng . With the destructive power contained within his sword, that thing would probably never grow out again .
Thinking of how he would be an incomplete man at such a young age, Xie Wei almost passed out from fury .
But right now, he couldn’t care about that . He was unable to heal, and if this continued, he would eventually die from blood loss .
Normally, a cultivator could stop bleeding with just a thought . Just using some spiritual yuan to suppress it would be fine . But Yue Zifeng’s attack had contained a destructive power that made his spiritual yuan useless .
“Elder, save me!” cried Xie Wei .
“Sigh, young people shouldn’t be so impetuous . ” That kindhearted Elder shook his head and waved his hand . A soft light enveloped Xie Wei .
Xie Wei’s injury instantly healed as Yue Zifeng’s destructive power was completely erased by that light . However, unless Xie Wei ran into a miracle, he would be an incomplete man for the rest of his life .
“Many thanks, Elder . ” Xie Wei hastily bowed toward him . As soon as he finished bowing, he turned to Yue Zifeng, his face full of rancor . “You bumpkins, how dare you sneak attack me while my guard was down? Truly shameless! Calling you dogs is praising you . You’re just a group of pigs!”
No one had expected that a grand rank four Sea Expansion Celestial would actually burst into curses after losing . Even the four Elders’ expressions sank . How could one of the grand Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples spout obscenities like a crazy man on the street?
“Clean out your mouth . I don’t care how much shit you’ve eaten, but don’t randomly spout it at people . Otherwise, you won’t see tomorrow’s sunrise,” raged Guo Ran .
“Maliciously killing people is against the rules! You will immediately be expelled!” shouted Elder Sha .
“The punishment is just being expelled?” Long Chen’s eyes brightened . That made Elder Sha have a bad feeling . And as expected, Long Chen shouted, “Brothers, if anyone provokes you, don’t worry about holding back . In any case, Celestials won’t die so easily . And if they do die, we just have to leave and make our own living in the Central Plains . With power, wouldn’t we have enough to eat no matter where we go?”
It’s over . Elder Sha regretted opening his mouth . He had been trying to intimidate them, but instead, he had just made the rules clear to them . They would probably be even more unrestrained than ever . He saw many of the Dragonblood warriors clenching their weapons, cold light shining in their eyes . It was like they were leopards eyeing their prey .
“Brother Zifeng, you can go kill that fake man first . This time, cut him into eight pieces!” shouted Guo Ran, as if worried things weren’t chaotic enough .
Yue Zifeng slowly reached for the sword on his back, causing Xie Wei’s expression to completely change . He hastily retreated into the crowd .
“Eastern Wasteland people, don’t go too far . ”
A cold shout rang out from the Western Desert’s side . A large man walked over .
He was extremely tall, with his long hair bound to the back of his head . He wore a waistcoat and straw sandals, and his skin was a deep bronze color . His aura wasn’t revealed, but his gaze was electric .
“I dare to bet that he is an earth attribute expert . ” Guo Ran closely examined the large man .
“How can you tell?” Song Mingyuan and Li Qi couldn’t help but ask . Although they had their suspicions as well, they weren’t as sure as Guo Ran .
“Just look at how dirty his aura is . It’s obvious,” said Guo Ran .
“What the fuck?”
Song Mingyuan and Li Qi were speechless . Guo Ran was becoming more and more shameless . The two of them had been duped .
As earth attribute experts, the two of them were extremely sensitive to earth attribute fluctuations . But this large man had something that isolated him from their senses, so they couldn’t be sure .
“Don’t go too far? Don’t you think it’s satirical for such words to come out of your mouth? From the start, it was your people provoking us,” said Long Chen indifferently .
Although this ‘dirty’ large man seemed like a farmer who had just left the fields, Long Chen could sense he was a terrifying earth attribute expert .
The reason his aura wasn’t revealed was because it was practically merged with the earth . That was a powerful realm . Once he fought, the earth’s energy would erupt and aid him .
Furthermore, Long Chen sensed another dislikable aura: the will of the Heavenly Daos, and it was extremely intense . Long Chen was sure he was a rank five Celestial .
“Hmph, the weak don’t have the qualifications to cry . People sneer at you because the Eastern Wasteland’s branch sect is always trash . Who do you have to blame? Each time, your side has the lowest number of people, and they’re always the weakest . You’re trash, but you don’t want others to call you trash? That just makes you even greater trash . ” Xie Wei’s confidence grew with that large man’s support, and he began to curse at Long Chen .
“Your mouth really is disgusting . No wonder Guo Ran said you eat shit . ” Long Chen shook his head . He slowly extended a hand .
Pow .
Everyone’s vision blurred, and they seemed to hear a clap of thunder . Long Chen suddenly appeared right beside Xie Wei and slapped him across the face .
The sound was resounding and clear . But within that clear sound was a pained snort, as well as the sound of bones breaking . Xie Wei shot back .
It seemed that Xie Wei didn’t have good relationships with people . No one moved to catch him as he shot past them . Instead, they all moved out of his way, and Xie Wei face planted into the ground .
Seeing that, quite a few people felt sympathy for him . Xie Wei’s jaw was broken . Although they hadn’t personally experienced his pain, their own jaws tingled .
Xie Wei fell unconscious from the pain, not even having time to recover . The four Elders shook their heads . Xie Wei was truly trash . After losing, he started cursing wildly without end .
For him to faint after just suffering a bit of pain, the only thing that could be said was that he had been spoiled rotten and had never experienced any true life and death battles . Otherwise, no matter how much pain you felt, you wouldn’t faint . If you were on the battlefield when that happened, you’d have died a hundred times .
“Brat, you’re courting death!” The large, dirty man roared and the ground began to shake . Earth energy surged toward him, and he seemed like a volcano about to erupt . All the disciples’ expressions changed and they retreated .
Long Chen stood with his hands clasped behind him, icily staring at the dirty man . “Those who tell me I’m courting death have pretty much all died . If you don’t believe me, you can try it . ”
The other disciples were all startled . This newcomer from the Eastern Wasteland was this confident . Some of them had been sympathizing with Long Chen and the others over being bullied, but now seeing him display such a domineering attitude, they jumped in shock .
Facing this infuriated opponent, Long Chen was completely indifferent . His long hair and black robes danced in the wind, making him appear more handsome than ever . Most moving of all were his clear eyes . That seemingly thin body with its domineering eyes was a powerful visual that caused some women’s hearts to sway .
The large man’s aura continued to rise until the sound of a bell rang out . Heaven and earth turned silent, and a voice rang out within that silence .
“Everyone, the disciple selection is about to start . ”
