“You’re in the Soldier Realm?”
Second Senior Fellow Apprentice looked at the middle-aged scholar with almond-shaped eyes in shock.
The middle-aged scholar held his sword horizontally before his chest, and his posture looked indescribably unrestrained and elegant. He remarked, “I’m Meng Changhun, the Traceless Autumn Wind Sword, ranking third among the Four Great Elders of the Tianyi Palace. Well, I would appreciate your comments.”
That remark sparked a burst of exclamation in the crowd.
Among the Four Great Elders of the Tianyi Palace, Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword ranked fourth, while Meng Changhun the Traceless Autumn Wind Sword ranked third, whose strength was even superior to Feng Zhen’s. Meng Changhun was one of the famous big shots in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. He was also well-known for his good looks. It was said that his swordsmanship was so profound that anyone would be killed within three strikes in a one-on-one battle against him.
Some of the cultivators who had been sent flying by his Sword Intent were all cursing a moment ago. But when they heard his name, they immediately stopped sulking and quickly shut up.
They certainly couldn’t afford to offend such a big shot.
“What’s the heck? The Traceless Autumn Wind Sword?” Despite the bleeding arms, Second Senior Fellow Apprentice shook his head and said, “Never heard of it.”
Around him, a torrent of curses erupted, accusing the pig spirit of being ignorant and ill-informed.
Second Senior Fellow Apprentice just smiled.
“I’ve been dormant in the past tens of thousands of years. So, it’s normal that I never heard of the name of such a small potato. How is that my fault?”
Then, he did a rather terrifying thing—
He opened his mouth and revealed his white teeth. Without hesitation, he bit his wrist. His teeth punctured the skin and flesh, clenched one end of the white tendon that had been severed, and pulled it out. Then, as if making a knot in a rope, he directly reconnected the two parts of the severed tendon around the wound by making a white bow tie with his teeth.
Then, he did the same thing to his right hand.
One part of the white tendon on his arm was pulled out, then, tied and reconnected with the other part.
This series of movements was appalling.
He just pulled his tendons out of his flesh by himself… That kind of pain was simply… beyond imagination.
When that was done, Second Senior Fellow Apprentice’s lips were covered with his own blood. His slightly obese body was now emitting a kind of suffocating ferocity.
“Now I would appreciate your comments.” Second Senior Fellow Apprentice grinned.
He then moved his fingers. Although they were not as flexible as before they were injured, they could enable him to grasp things again. The pig spirit grinned, revealing shockingly distinct his white sharp teeth and a mouthful of scarlet blood. His pig face suddenly became ferocious. As his left hand grabbed the air, the nine-forked rake zoomed back into his hand. With a flick of his wrist, some old rust on the rake was instantly shaken off.
The pig spirit was now emitting a kind of aura that he had never demonstrated before.
He looked at Meng Changhun and said, “Did you just say that you would like to hear my comments?”
The corners of the mouth of Meng Changhun the Traceless Autumn Wind Sword twitched slightly.
For some unknown reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next moment, the pig spirit already darted at him with the rake in his hand.
The nine forks of the rake created nine cracks in the void in their wake. The fragments of space whirled like black snowflakes and formed a storm, which immediately swept toward Meng Changhun.
“Traceless Wind!”
The long sword in Meng Changhun’s hand vibrated softly, and wisps of Sword Wind spread out. Bit by bit, the Sword Wind destroyed all the fragments of space and dispersed into nothingness.
“Clank, clink, clank!”
The long sword collided with the rake.
Meng Changhun was sent flying by the pig spirit’s enormous physical strength.
He was surprised to find that the pig spirit, who had reconnected the tendons of his hands, seemed to have changed into another person. His combat capability had soared, and there was a faint tendency that he could start to compete with him. In the rake, and in the overweight body, there seemed to be a kind of power, a terrible power that was awakening little by little.
“Rumble!”
The power surging out of the rake grew more and more violent. The pure physical strength once again knocked Meng Changhun up to the air.
“Hahaha, comments? How dare you ask for my comments? Well, brace yourself for my wrath. Here comes my killing move—the World-devastating Divine Rage!” bellowed Second Senior Fellow Apprentice.
The rake in his hand flew to the air against the wind. With a shake of the rake, thousands of the shadows of the same rake appeared. The rake shadows blotted out the sky and covered the earth. That was a rather scary sight. Coupled with Second Brother’s furious roars, everyone on the scene really had a premonition that an earth-shattering and world-devastating strike was about to descend.
“Invisible Sword!”
With a grave look on his face, Meng Changhun shouted in a low voice. Then, he flicked his wrist and conjured up layers of sword shadows. Like a peacock spreading its tail, the sword shadows piled up behind him, forming a huge sword fan. Instantly, his omnipresent Sword Qi pervaded the world.
Meng Changhun was known as the Traceless Autumn Wind Sword because he had mastered the two most powerful sword moves, which were the Traceless Wind and Invisible Sword. The two moves were regarded as the best moves of swordsmanship in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
After casting the best moves, Meng Changhun immediately focused on running his Cultivation Method.
In the face of the pig spirit’s killing move, the World-devastating Divine Rage, Meng Changhun did not dare to be any bit careless.
However, in the next moment, after the Sword Qi was activated, the overwhelming shadows of the rake in the sky easily vanished like bubbles. The premonition of the arrival of the ultimate move disappeared in an instant. Everything seemed to be an illusion and did not exist at all.
Meng Changhun was taken aback.
When he took another look, the fat pig had already turned into a giant eagle, which grabbed Ding Yi, who had fainted under the effect of the poison, and soared to the sky. With graceful body movements, the eagle skimmed over several flying shuttles, directly smashed the sealing tactical deployment in the sky, flew away flapping its wings.
“What the f*ck!”
Meng Changhun was so angry that his nose was put out of joint.
“Is this the pig’s so-called killing move?
“I’ve been tricked!”
“Go get them!” Meng Changhun swiftly transformed into a sword and chased after them at light speed.
“Haha, enjoy my fart in my wake!” The giant eagle said in the voice of Second Senior Fellow Apprentice and then really farted once during the flight.
In the air, a fog that seemed to consist of dust immediately stretched out, while a pungent odor spread.
The cultivators in the lead were caught off guard and breathed in the polluted air. Then, as if they had been poisoned, they all plummeted from the sky like dumplings being thrown into the pot.
That was really absurd.
The giant eagle was flying at an extremely fast speed. Obviously, it was a kind of alien bird from ancient times.
Having failed to catch them, Meng Changhun fumed with rage.
Second Senior Fellow Apprentice’s laughter lingered in the sky. He sounded quite gleeful.
But at this precise moment, another unexpected change occurred.
All of a sudden, a giant palm penetrated the clouds without any warning as if it was reaching out from outer space. It directly whacked at the Second Senior Fellow Apprentice who was wearing a big smile on his face. Like swatting a mosquito, it crushed the gloating Second Senior Fellow Apprentice with a loud bang and forced him to assume his original appearance, who fell from the sky and hit the land, making a pig-shaped pit on the ground.
“Everyone has the right to kill the sinners and their servants, as well as all kinds of evil spirits.”
The voice of Dharma, which contained supreme majesty, came from the sky. A large projection of a deity was looming in the void of the universe, as if not subject to the sealing tactic deployment. The stars around the projection swirled, and beams of light shot out of the divine eyes. It was as if a god that dominated everything had suddenly appeared with horror-inspiring powers.
On the ground.
Second Senior Fellow Apprentice slowly picked himself up.
He had used himself as a cushion and let Ding Yi, who was in a coma, fell on him so that Ding Yi did not die from the crash.
However, the whack launched by the projection of the deity had also undone his transformation and impeded the running of his Cultivation Method. Thus, he was unable to use his power for the time being.
“F*ck you…” He cursed. How could there be such a powerful master? He could appear through the projection in any place in the universe. That meant he was already in the General Realm.
“Now we’re screwed.
“With a General Realm expert barring our way, how could we possibly escape?
“It’s all my master’s fault! How in the world did he get so many enemies? He is merely in the Worm Realm, but he has managed to piss off someone in the General Realm. Well, my life is so hard. If it were in the past, I could poke a General Realm cultivator to death with one finger. But now… it’s true that when the pig went down to level land, he would be bullied by dogs.”
At this time, Meng Changhun the Traceless Autumn Wind Sword, Mu Shun, and the other cultivators who were hunting him, had arrived in time and besieged Second Senior Fellow Apprentice and Ding Yi again.
“Let’s see where else you can run to now,” Meng Changhun said between clenched teeth.
This pig spirit was really a contemptible wretch.
Even Meng Changhun, a handsome man usually known for his refined manners, could no longer maintain his grace at this moment.
“D*mn it, cut the crap. If you want to kill me, just do it. A hundred years later, I will reincarnate as a great pig again.” Second Senior Fellow Apprentice swore harshly, determined to insult the opponents with his lips first.
Meng Changhun raised his foot and kicked the pig spirit over. Then, he pressed his long sword against the pig spirit’s eyes and said, “If you utter one more swear word, I’ll blind one of your eyes. If you utter two, I’ll blind both of your eyes. Now, tell me the whereabouts of Li Mu the Wild Broadsword, and I’ll give you and him a quick death. Otherwise…”
Before he could finish his words—
Another voice sounded.
“Since you want to know Li Mu’s whereabouts, why don’t I tell you?” A voice suddenly came from behind Meng Changhun.
At that moment, Meng Changhun felt as if someone was breathing to the back of his neck, which was rather creepy.
He abruptly whipped around and shouted, “Who is it?”
However, there was no one behind him.
Beside him, Mu Shun, instead, suddenly looked terrified, as though he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. He simply stared at something behind Meng Changhun, dumbfounded. Subconsciously, he held up a hand and pointed, but he couldn’t utter a word.
“Crap!”
Meng Changhun immediately realized that he was in danger. He started to run his best moves as the Sword Qi of the Traceless Wind whirled around his body. Then, he retreated and distanced himself from what was behind him before he looked back.
There already stood a short-haired young man in white, who had mysteriously appeared beside the pig spirit and Ding Yi. He was quite handsome, with eyes sparkling like stars and eyebrows thick and firm. He had an indescribable heroic spirit. At the first sight of this young man, for some reason, Meng Changhun involuntarily felt inferior and overshadowed, even though he knew that the young man was not as handsome as he was. Then, jealousy began to burn in his heart.
“You are Li Mu, aren’t you?” Meng Changhun was not a menial cultivator like Mu Shun. He was quite familiar with Li Mu’s appearance. Hence, he recognized Li Mu at first glance and asked, “Are you Li Mu the Wild Broadsword?”
The short-haired young man in white, however, ignored Meng Changhun’s questions.
He squatted down, stuffed a divine herb for detoxification into Ding Yi’s mouth, and then injected a stream of natural qi into Ding Yi’s body to keep him alive.
“Ah, Sect Master, you’re finally here. I just got injured and lost a lot of blood for you. Look at my ass. There are still arrows in it…” The pig spirit rushed over and grabbed Li Mu’s leg, informing him of his merits at once.
Forcefully restraining himself from kicking the pig away, Li Mu stood up, looked at Meng Changhun, stretched out his hand, and said, “Give me the antidote.”
Meng Changhun instantly came to his senses. He said with a sneer, “As the poison of Star-demolishing Arrow has entered his heart, there is no way to save him. He is gonna die for sure… Hehe, instead of worrying about him, you’d better think about the situation you’re in…”
But before he was done speaking…
All of a sudden, he felt his vision blurred.
“Wham!”
A strong force banged on his abdomen and spread out. His body bent uncontrollably, and the back of his robe was directly blown into pieces.
“Aargh…” Meng Changhun bent over, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth. His cultivation in the Soldier Realm was completely shattered at this moment.
It had never occurred to the handsome swordsman well-known in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region that one day, he would be punched in public by a fist, a fist containing no natural qi, and lost the ability to fight back, looking as woebegone as a dog with a broken spine.
It was not until Li Mu grabbed his foot and dragged him to the side, looted all the storage devices he carried, and began to search for the antidote of poison applied to the Star-demolishing Arrow that the people around him finally overcame the shock and realized what had happened.
So did Meng Changhun himself.
