Chapter 772: 772

“What?!”

Everyone was appalled . Other than a very few numbers of experts, no one else had seen what had happened before Jiu Qifeng was cut in two .

Long Chen smiled with satisfaction . A battle should just be like this: using the smallest price to get the greatest result .

Ouyang Qiuyu’s expression was calm, but inside, she was stunned . Song Mingyuan’s attack just now had actually been one of exchanging his life to take a life .

When his opponent’s weapon had been about to reach him, he hadn’t even looked at it . Instead, he had directly slashed his saber at his opponent’s waist .

That was clearly a suicide attempt . Furthermore, unlike most people who used such a move, he was not bluffing . This kind of exchange was a compet.i.tion between who had more guts and who was more afraid of death .

In this kind of compet.i.tion, anyone afraid of death would be forced to change into defense . They would be forced into a pa.s.sive position .

But that was not Song Mingyuan’s intention . He was clearly going for an exchange of lives . By the point he had struck, it had been too late for Jiu Qifeng to change his attack into defense .

In the end, Song Mingyuan’s saber had cut through Jiu Qifeng’s body, while Jiu Qifeng’s weapon had only broken Song Mingyuan’s shoulder . Although that attack had reached the bone, it hadn’t even severed his arm .

Of the people present, only the Dragonblood Legion’s people understood why that was so . It was because Jiu Qifeng had been completely suppressed by how imposing Song Mingyuan had been .

When Song Mingyuan had displayed his unquestionable resolve to die with him, Jiu Qifeng’s courage had been completely broken . In that instant, he had wanted to switch to defense . But he hadn’t had enough time to do that . As for dying with Song Mingyuan, he also didn’t have the courage . As a result, his head had become completely empty .

That had resulted in his attack weakening and this conclusion . Jiu Qifeng might have plenty of combat experience, but he had never seen someone so ruthless as to immediately fight with his life on the line as soon as they clashed .

Jiu Qifeng’s body had only just been sliced apart when Song Mingyuan’s saber slashed through his head . Blood splashed . An acrid smell spread .

A powerful Celestial had died just like this, without an opportunity to even use the Heavenly Dao Recovery . Looking at the indifferent Song Mingyuan, quite a few people were filled with reverence .

“Boss taught us that as people, we need to understand what respect and grat.i.tude are . You don’t have any respect for experts or life, so it was fated for you to lose today!” Song Mingyuan merely tossed out a few sentences before returning to his side .

It was deathly silent . No one had yet to recover from their shock . It felt like the battle had yet to start before it had ended .

Most people hadn’t even understood what was happening . They looked at the completely calm Song Mingyuan behind Long Chen in shock .

The Celestials from the Xuantian Dao Sect’s subordinates finally understood why their sect leaders would have them put aside their pride to humbly ask for advice from the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples .

Song Mingyuan had appeared so ordinary before . But as soon as he took action, he shocked everyone .

“Alright, we’ve already killed someone and spilled blood . We can continue with the ceremony . What’s the next step for our sacrifice to the heavens? I know, you, the old witch, can you start chanting?” Guo Ran’s voice broke the silence .

The people on his side didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . Did he really have to infuriate a supreme expert like Ji Hongling?

Ji Hongling’s face was extremely dark . She hated Jiu Qifeng for being such an idiot . He was both stupid and a coward .

He was clearly a Celestial . Even if both sides had to be injured, he could still use his Heavenly Dao runes to heal . It wasn’t like he would die, so why did he have to hesitate?

It was that slight hesitation that had caused his death . He hadn’t just lost his life, he had lost all her face .

Originally, the Remote Heaven Gang had entered a golden age with many geniuses . Ji Hongling was already irritated with having to stand on the same level as the Xuantian Dao Sect’s branch sect . She wanted to suppress them to show everyone that it was the Remote Heaven Gang that was the Eastern Wasteland’s strongest power .

Although they had to be worried about the main sect in the Central Plains, after all these years, they had found that the head sect essentially ignored the branch sect . All problems were to be resolved by the branch sect by themselves .

And so Ji Hongling had planned to use the opening of the Immemorial Path to suppress the Xuantian Dao Sect in front of the Eastern Wasteland’s top powers . Then she would begin to pull those powers to her side, strengthening the Remote Heaven Gang .

“Hmph, Jiu Qifeng received an internal injury when fighting the Corrupt path previously, which is why you managed to win . You suicidal brats, it seems it’ll be up to me, w.a.n.g Yiping, to teach you what respect is!”

Suddenly, a thin and tall man walked out . He pointed at them as he spoke, which was extremely rude . It was a naked provocation .

Long Chen really was speechless . Had the Righteous path’s disciples spent all their cultivation time on provoking others? Their provocation abilities really were excellent . Just a few words could infuriate someone . Even Long Chen felt some fury .
