Chapter 544: Saber Intent Pushing Back the Elders (1/2)
Chapter 544: Saber Intent Pus.h.i.+ng Back the Elders
The mob that rushed forward with blazing auras stopped. They had shocked expressions as they did their best to hold on to their sabers, which were struggling to escape their grips.
Half a move, Xiao Chen used only half a move. This group was originally very confident, spurred on by the promised reward. However, they were forced into a state where they could neither advance nor retreat. They could only miserably resist the saber intent.
Within the half-step Martial Monarch realm, Xiao Chen was almost unrivaled. The person with the highest cultivation in this group was an Inferior Grade Martial King. Xiao Chen was already showing them a lot of respect by using half a move.
This respect was on account of their being from the same sect and their use of sabers as well. Otherwise, he would not even have drawn his saber at all.
“Xiu!”
Xiao Chen moved his hand forward, pulling the pitch-black Lunar Shadow Saber completely out of the scabbard. A dazzling, resplendent purple light appeared as a boundless saber intent spread out.
“Sou! Sou! Sou!”
The whole group lost their grips on their sabers entirely. Their sabers soared into the air and circled above them.
“Saber intent! This is saber intent!” the Biyun Peak disciples exclaimed in quivering voices, obvious fear on their faces, as they quickly retreated.
Xiao Chen maintained a calm expression. Turning to face the fleeing Song Qianhe in the distance, he pointed his saber. Then, an overwhelming killing intent poured out from his eyes, and the air seemed to solidify.
The killing intent was bone-chilling. Locked down by Xiao Chen’s state of ma.s.sacre, Song Qianhe felt like his legs were filled with lead, like they weighed a ton and he could not move a step.
“Bang!”
That killing intent poured into Song Qianhe’s chest and pervaded his whole body. His chest felt extremely uncomfortable and his legs trembled. His eyes filled with horror.
After a while, Song Qianhe could no longer endure, plopping down to his knees. Doing his best to resist the pressure in his mind, he supported himself with one hand to ensure that he did not end up prostrate.
When Song Qianhe looked at Xiao Chen, hate was evident in his eyes. He said through clenched teeth, “Xiao Chen, don’t think you can do what you want because you are a peak Superior Grade Martial King. Since you entered the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, you will definitely die for sure!”
“Superior Grade Martial King? I surpa.s.sed that long ago,” Xiao Chen said with a calm tone. A surging crystal saber Qi soared out from his saber.
The saber Qi immediately opened a horrifying wound on the kneeling Song Qianhe’s chest. The wound was about seven centimeters deep and blood gushed out of it; even his internal organs could be seen.
The impact knocked Song Qianhe back, his expression appearing extremely pained.
Currently, Xiao Chen was on a major road in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. This was a road that disciples of every Peak would have to take if they wanted to go down the mountain. So there was a lot of traffic here at all times.
Xiao Chen and Song Qianhe’s fight had already attracted the attention of many pa.s.sing disciples. Several of them were feeling curious and suspicious about Xiao Chen’s ident.i.ty.
When the crowd heard what Song Qianhe said, they were finally convinced of Xiao Chen’s ident.i.ty. They looked at Xiao Chen in shock, shaken.
“d.a.m.n, it really is him. After not seeing him for two years, he is unexpectedly much stronger than he was before.”
“I suspected it was him long ago. The White Robed Bladesman, Xiao Chen, killed a Heavenly Saber Pavilion Peak Master in the past. Unexpectedly, he still dares to come back so openly.”
“He even comprehended saber intent. I believe there has not been anyone from our Heavenly Saber Pavilion who has comprehended saber intent for at least a thousand years. Without saber intent, we are just incomplete bladesmen.”
“I wonder if Song Qianhe is lucky or unlucky? He ran into Xiao Chen the moment the latter arrived.”
The surrounding cultivators discussed what just happened. To them, it felt like the legendary battle of the White Robed Bladesman at the Heaven Ascending Platform from two years ago was happening right before them.
Previously, there were people who doubted Xiao Chen’s strengths. However, after seeing his performance now, no one would deny it.
This was the beginning of a legend, an epic legend that belonged to the White Robed Bladesman!
Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and ignored the heavily injured Song Qianhe. He faced the crowd’s words of astonishment and praise calmly, appearing neither proud nor arrogant.
“Xiao Chen, you killed my father and humiliated me time after time. I, Song Qianhe, will make you suffer a life worse than death sooner or later.”
When Song Qianhe, who was on the ground, saw that Xiao Chen did not care about him at all, treating him like an ant, he felt humiliated. Hence, he roared out angrily like a maniac.
Xiao Chen’s calm face completely sank. Who was the one who came to him seeking trouble repeatedly, trying to kill him?
Who was the one that kept eyeing Qingyun Peak in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion? Who was the Martial King who bullied him, an insignificant Martial Grand Master?
Who was it who took advantage of his departure to send a.s.sa.s.sins after him? Who was it who made matters worse for Xiao Chen during a critical moment?
Who was it who did not care about propriety and honor, sneak-attacking Xiao Chen before everyone, and almost killed Liu Ruyue, instead?
It was Song Que, Song Qianhe’s father. Dying a thousand times was too good for such a degenerate.
However, when Song Qianhe spoke, he made it sound like Xiao Chen was the unreasonable one, like Xiao Chen had bullied him. He twisted words and forced logic shamelessly.
How could there be such logic in this world? How could Song Qianhe distort the truth like that, speaking such nonsense?
“Bang!” Xiao Chen’s figure flickered and he kicked Song Qianhe’s chest. Song Qianhe flew up into the air and landed heavily on the ground.
