Chapter 1758 (2/2)

Yue Zifeng was claimed to be the disciple with the most potential in the history of the Heavenly Sword Gate . In fact, even the current gate master had earnestly wished for him to stay in the Heavenly Sword Gate to cultivate .

However, Yue Zifeng had refused . He had to return to Long Chen’s side . He said that in this life, he had two things he believed in: one was the sword in his hand, while the other was his boss .

Xin Li wanted to join the Heavenly Sword Gate but was rejected, while Yue Zifeng was someone the Heavenly Sword Gate had urged to stay but had left decisively . The difference between the two of them was immense .

For Long Chen, Yue Zifeng had sacrificed his best cultivation opportunity . To be able to make a prideful and detached sword cultivator become someone that would follow him to death, Xin Li had long since felt great admiration for Long Chen .

“He’s doing very well . His realm is growing higher and higher, and he’s the one with the sharpest attack in my Dragonblood Legion . ” Long Chen was also proud of Yue Zifeng . He was truly powerful .

He was a true genius of the Sword Dao . He had a fervent belief in the sword . It was practically fanatical .

Ling Yunzi could count as half his master as Yue Zifeng’s true master was actually the sword in his hand . His comprehension of the Sword Dao could only be described as terrifying .

Xin Li led the way as they walked, and four disciples followed behind them . They walked down an ancient alley to a plaza .

Wherever Xin Li went, quite a few young disciples would greet him respectfully . Clearly, Xin Li was quite influential and respected here .

However, when they saw Long Chen, those disciples’ expressions froze as they stared in disbelief .

When they arrived at the plaza, Long Chen was surprised to see four b.a.l.l.s of light within it .

Those b.a.l.l.s of light each had a martial arena within them . There were disciples fighting within the martial arenas .

The surprising thing was that the opponents of these disciples were not human, but a strange kind of lifeform .

It was around the same size and form as humans, but it only had one eye and had a black horn on its forehead .

It was covered in black scales . The points of its fingernails were as sharp as blades . Each time it attacked, it unleashed a whistling sound as s.p.a.ce was cut through .

Although he didn’t know what lifeform this was, sensing its berserk Devil Qi, he knew they were the devil race . Furthermore, based on human cultivation terms, their auras were on the Life Star level .

There were four disciples atop the four martial arenas . Each of them wielded a sword . Their manifestations were activated around them, and rays of Sword Qi repeatedly clashed against the devil creatures .

When those disciples’ swords landed on the devil creatures, sparks flew from their scales . Their defensive power was immense .

Suddenly, the sword of one of the disciples shattered upon contact with his opponent’s sharp claws .

That disciple was startled . He hastily retreated, but the devil creature was quick, and its other claw slammed into his chest . Its sharp claws instantly pierced through his body .

The disciple became paralyzed with the claw through his chest . He couldn’t move . The other claw pierced toward his head .

A ray of sword-light fell, cutting off the devil creature’s arms and causing its black blood to spurt out .

“It’s senior apprentice-brother Xin Li!”

Other disciples had just started charging over to help when Xin Li appeared on the martial arena .

After slicing off its arms with one attack, he kicked it away, causing it to smash into the light barrier . It let out a mournful wail as it transformed into smoke and vanished .

This light was actually a killing formation that was ineffective against humans but would instantly slaughter devil creatures .

Xin Li helped that disciple up . Due to being pierced in the chest by that devil creature, his body was still paralyzed .

“Many thanks… senior apprentice-brother Xin Li,” said that disciple .

Xin Li brought him out of the martial arena . Immediately a few disciples rushed over to help, using a special kind of medicinal extract to heal his injuries .

Those devil creatures’ attacks were very terrifying . Anyone struck would be poisoned and feel their whole body go numb . That was a very dangerous scenario, and even Heavenly Dao energy was unable to suppress this poison .

There were lots of disciples here . Many of them were enthusiastically coming to help, while some had faint mocking smiles .

“How foolish . He just advanced to Soul Transformation, but he challenged an eleventh rank horned devil . How was that any different than courting death?” A mocking voice rang out from the crowd .

The injured disciple’s expression was extremely unsightly . Xin Li was about to speak when Long Chen spoke first .

“If a person doesn’t even have the courage to brave danger, then there’s no need for them to cultivate . Junior brother, you’re not bad . ”
