Chapter 727: Chapter 316: Sly and Crafty (Seeking Subscriptions)_3

“Heaven Slaying Blade poses a great advantage when one’s cultivation is weak; neither Pingtian Sword nor Measuring Heaven Sword could match it.”

Therefore, Li Changsheng planned to rely on his higher cultivation to fight blade with blade, clashing sword speeds with this fellow, and just survive the first few strikes.

But just as Li Changsheng’s sword light was halfway through its arc, he caught sight of a slash of light as reflective as a mirror.

Li Changsheng was taken aback.

That was clearly Vengeful Blade! This guy was actually practicing the Blood Vengeance Saintly Inheritance!

Fuck, he actually deceived me!

This person is so sinister—

Those were his last thoughts.

The ‘One Strike Kills Ten Thousand’ that Li Changsheng practiced was immensely powerful and incredibly fast; he had gone all out without any reservations.

At this moment, it was precisely reflected back at him by Chu Xisheng’s ‘Return Light’.

As Li Changsheng’s body dissipated like smoke, the huge tree hand continued to lift Chu Xisheng upwards.

Not knowing how long they had ascended, the tree hand stopped once again.

Chu Xisheng looked forward and saw another ethereal figure condensing in front of him.

The very next moment, Chu Xisheng’s pupils tightened slightly.

He recognized this person too!

Medium height, a round and chubby face, pale and tender skin, a pair of small eyes, a small nose—looking like a lump of dough.

—It was a young version of Jian Cangfeng!

The problem was, why would Jian Cangfeng be captured by Zhu Guangyin’s Time Mirror and manifested here?

Could it be that Senior Brother Jian, in Zhu Guangyin’s eyes, was also considered a Super Heavenly Pillar capable of contending with the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord and Li Changsheng?

Chu Xisheng found it unfathomable.

He had long suspected that this Senior Brother might be more than meets the eye, but he had never imagined it to this extent!

After getting past his initial confusion, Jian Cangfeng’s gaze sharpened, looking at the Nine Heavens Thought Wheel behind Chu Xisheng, “Nine Wheel Divine Chart? Vengeful Blade?”

He had entered the sect after Qin Muge, aware that it was her tool for practicing the “Nine Wheel Divine Chart.”

Chu Xisheng then bowed with fist clasped, his body manifesting the Vengeful Blade Intent, “Chu Xisheng pays his respects to Senior Brother Jian.”

“You call me Senior Brother? That means not many years have passed, right? I didn’t expect that after Qin Muge, the sect has added a second Blood Vengeance Saint. Fortunate! How fortunate!”

When Jian Cangfeng entered the Time Secret Realm, Qin Muge was still in the Formless Divine Sect.

His lips curled slightly in delight, “Enough talk, draw your blade! Let’s see your Vengeful Blade. This avatar formed by the Time Mirror is controlled by Zhu Guangyin, and will not hold back. I hope you do the same.”

Actually, Jian Cangfeng still had some free will left and could resist Zhu Guangyin’s commands.

But he didn’t want Chu Xisheng to know that.

Jian Cangfeng was also eager to see the opponent’s Vengeful Blade.

As another ‘Blood Vengeance Saint’ of the sect, Qin Muge’s cultivation was nearing Third Grade, and challenging her would simply invite a beating, with not much to learn.

The Chu Xisheng in front of him was different; his cultivation should not exceed Fifth Grade.

Jian Cangfeng tightened his grip on his sword, deciding to be cautious and prioritize stability.

The way to deal with ‘Vengeful Blade’ was ‘Not to Attack’!

By not initiating an attack and focusing on a staunch defense, Vengeful Blade would be powerless against him.

He would use Measuring Heaven Saintly Inheritance and Pingtian Saint Transmission to weaken this guy thoroughly before considering the next steps.

Chu Xisheng, however, wore a stern expression, grasping the hilt of his blade, “Then Junior Brother will not hold back! Senior Brother, be careful.”

Inside him at this moment, a mix of ‘Timeless Moment + Infinite Slash + Wind Trace + Formless Divine Blade’ was brewing.

‘Clank’

The two of them drew their blades almost simultaneously.

In the next instant, a line of blood appeared on Jian Cangfeng’s brow.

He cursed in his mind, ‘Fuck’, this guy actually practiced some of the foundational layers of ‘Heaven Slaying Blade.’

And that formless and imageless, silent and colorless, without beginning or end, limitless and boundless, indescribable secret technique, what the hell is it?

Meanwhile, the tree palm continued upward, rising through the clouds before stopping again after a while.

Chu Xisheng didn’t recognize the figure materializing in the clouds this time.

However, he had seen it before in the Ancestor Hall of the Formless Divine Sect.

—It was their Eighth Generation Sect Master, the peerless master who had moved the Formless Divine Sect’s main mountain to the ‘Wanshen Gorge’, sheltering You State for 7,500 years from the invasions of the Giant God’s Descendants.

But this figure didn’t look particularly pleasant, with a horse-like face, slightly pale bluish complexion, appearing somewhat like the Demon God ‘Ma Mian Heavenly King’ from the Netherworld Hell.

The Eighth Generation Sect Master looked at Chu Xisheng, and the ‘Three-Phases Martial Intent’ swirling about him, and his eyebrows rose slightly, “Three-Phases Martial Intent? Are you a disciple of the Formless Divine Sect?”

“Indeed!” Chu Xisheng bowed respectfully, “The junior pays his respects to the Eighth Generation Sect Master!”

The Eighth Generation Sect Master nodded slightly, “Draw your blade then! Skip the nonsense, since you’ve mastered the Ten Layers of Three-Phases Martial Intent, I suppose you’re following the Heavenly Slaying Lineage. Show me if this lineage’s Martial Arts have truly become a Holy Transmission.”

In his time, the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord was not yet born, only the Mingjing Blade Lord and the Eighth Generation Sect Master were of the same era. But back then, the Mingjing Blade Lord had not yet created the Divine Wind Bright Mirror Blade or the Heavenly Revenge Divine Intent Saber, and the Vengeful Blade Lineage had not yet risen to prominence.

As for the ‘Heaven Slaying Blade’ heritage of the Formless Divine Sect, it had not reached the level of the Holy Transmission at the time.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng smiled. With a solemn face and hand on his blade, he spoke respectfully, “Please pay attention, Ancestor. My Heaven Slaying Blade has been cultivated to a certain proficiency. Once this blade is drawn, it will surely draw blood!”

The Eighth Generation Sect Master couldn’t help but chuckle.

The confidence of the younger generation in their Martial Arts sure was admirable, quite good at self-promotion.

But as he knew, the initial strikes of the Heaven Slaying Blade were indeed explosive and often resulted in a victory within a handful of strikes, so he had to be cautious.
