Chapter 568: Chapter 41: Hu Sanlang [Requesting for monthly tickets!]_1

The youth with the sword on his back walked with an air of serenity.

...

Upon hearing Chu Liang’s light-hearted and arrogant remarks, his temples stirred, and his eyes emitted a ferocious gleam.

Shi—

The long knife flashed out of its sheath, scattering a cascade of starlight.

With a swish, Chu Liang once again employed the Shrinkage technique, narrowly avoiding the sudden slash. The blade’s chilling light was intimidating. If it had landed, even his physical body would not have withstood it.

"Remember the one who eliminated you, Shu Mountain Sect, is named Hu Sanlang!" The youth with the sword on his back roared in rage, swinging his blade again. The blade light surged like a towering wave, crashing down towards Chu Liang.

What a fierce blade.

Seeing this, Chu Liang couldn’t help but feel a jolt of shock. It wasn’t surprising that Hu Sanlang always had a devil-may-care attitude; he really had something up his sleeve.

He did not dare to underestimate his opponent. His cultivation surged to its fullest as he raised his Dustless Sword to block the blade.

When Chu Liang earlier eliminated the team from Taotie City, he seemed ruthless, but he had not truly used his full strength. However now, against Hu Sanlang, he was operating at his peak from the start, revealing his true cultivation.

The Second Level of the Fifth Stage.

Chu Liang had only just broken through to the Fifth Stage before undertaking specialty training and consequently made the breakthrough to the Second Level within a few months of specialty training in the Hongmeng Secret Realm. With the Flashy Doll, he had already mastered the harmonious Five Elements True Qi. The breakthrough in cultivation merely gave his gold and wood Divine True Qi double boost.

However, Hu Sanlang who was at the First Level of the Fifth Stage, displayed a killing force with the swing of his knife that couldn’t be accounted for by the common cultivation.

Boom—

When the second slash fell, the street split into two halves under the dragon-like blade light, leaving a huge chasm spanning tens of feet.

Chu Liang raised the Dustless Sword. In an instant, the Ten Thousand Swords technique formed a barrier. Although he blocked the blade, the radiant sword aura shook him back more than a dozen feet.

He quickly flipped over, and launched a counterattack with the Ten Thousand Talisman Sword.

This time, he cast the Fire Rune, and vanished in an instant likewise a meteor rain falling from the sky, covering the entire street as well as the surrounding buildings, inescapable!

But Hu Sanlang did not evade.

"Heh ha—" With a stomp of his right foot and a half turn of his body, his blade light swiftly swept across and dispelled the meteoric fire swords like a whirlwind.

Upon seeing this, Chu Liang was slightly perplexed.

While his cultivation at the Fifth Stage was not weak, his blade light was too powerful at this cultivation stage. Even a cultivator at the Sixth Stage with such sword Qi or blade light would be considered formidable.

However, there was no time for him to think more, as Hu Sanlang had already leapt forward, the boundless frosty blade light overshadowing the sky, as if he would not relent until he had eradicated Chu Liang!

Seeing the blade that seemed to fall from an upside-down sky, leaving no room for escape, Chu Liang could only raise his Dustless Sword and meet it head-on.

Heaven Lifting Sword!

The massive sword aura, rising from the ground, clashed with the cascading blade light in mid-air. Right up in the air, the solid sword aura and cascading blade light collided, sending out a crackling thunderbolt noise, mixing together and shattering all around.

Both Chu Liang and Hu Sanlang were affected, and they retreated to a distance of ten feet from each other.

In terms of the shock received, Chu Liang was hit harder since he seemed to be at a slight disadvantage during the collision and the Heaven Lifting Sword could pierce through the blade.

However, his physical body was incredibly robust, and he was protected by the Jiuli Soul Armor, so the damage he sustained was negligible.

On the other hand, Hu Sanlang had several cuts on him due to the sword Qi that got dispersed after the collision.

However, such injury level, far from affecting his fighting ability, only served to incense him further.

Observing his fierce tenacity, Chu Liang finally realized something and asked, "Could this be the Waveslasher Blade of Fuyao Country?"

The cultivation system of the Fuyao Country was inherited from Penglai, and mostly centered around Ancient Mysterious Techniques with a few original inheritances. Among these, the most famous was the Waveslasher Blade.

Legend has it that when Fuyao was founded, numerous sea demons assembled, wanting to seize the destiny of the newborn nation. The first monarch of Fuyao slew innumerable demons with a single blade, causing the sea to be split in twain for three days, thereby intimidating the entire Eastern Sea.

However, the inheritance of the Waveslasher Blade was unique to the Fuyao royal family, with only the members of the imperial family allowed to pursue its study.

Was Hu Sanlang from the Fuyao royal family?

"I fought for my life in the Tiger Den for eight years, thanks to my master, who saved me and exceptionally taught me the Waveslasher Saber Technique," Hu Sanlang, looking at his blade, spoke in a serious tone. "And all this, was to seek revenge against you tyrants of the Shu Mountain Sect!"

With his words still echoing in the air, the blade light rose again, fiercer than before!

This resolute fighting spirit made Chu Liang frown: "Tyrant?"

When did I suddenly become the villain?

...

At the high podium, Han Lingshuang sat alone in the seat for the Penglai, a circle of several feet around her devoid of anyone.

She was dressed in a black robe, accentuating her snow-white complexion. As she watched Hu Sanlang slashing at Chu Liang, sword after sword, with Chu Liang only being able to dodge, a rare bit of excitement appeared in her usually calm eyes.

The day has finally come.

In the Yu Bo Mansion, everyone knows that Han Lingshuang is aloof and indifferent. But few people know that she was once the most beloved little princess of the Fuyao country’s royal family, sixty years ago. She was a white flower with a bright mind and charming cuteness.

Until the year she participated in the Immortal Sect conference in Yu Capital City...

At first, the journey was smooth. The Fuyao Country team easily passed the Four Seas election and entered the Hundred Doors competition. While everyone was celebrating, they were already fantasizing about the possibility of entering the battle in the Imperial City, or even winning it outright.

Then the troupe from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands appeared. That year they had the team from Shu Mountain Sect, including Jiang Tiankuo, Yan Zi, and Empress Feng.

The prowess of these three in their generation might be likened to the strength of Yang Shenlong this year. The only difference was that that year there were three, and they were all on the same team.

They each headed out separately to hunt down the teams, indiscriminately annihilating single teams or even large alliances formed by multiple teams. They fought so ferociously that they left all the remaining Immortal Sects in disarray, forcing them to resort to splitting up their four-person teams, in order to reduce their chances of being annihilated together.

In those times, it was said that whoever encountered the Shu Mountain team first, would be the first to be eliminated. Whoever survived would then be promoted to the next round.

If it was just unfortunate to met someone from Shu Mountain Sect, then it was a massive misfortune to meet Empress Feng of the Shu Mountain Sect.

And the team from Fuyao Country was hiding under a sand cave, when they encountered Empress Feng.

Han Lingshuang would never forget that sight.

She was crouching beneath the sand cave, doing her utmost to hide her aura, not daring to leak it out the slightest bit. Empress Feng was outside, roasting the sand with Divine fire, making the entire ground scorching hot to the point of melting.

Amidst terrifying, ghastly laughter, one of her teammates couldn’t endure it and was discovered by Empress Feng, their agonizing screams continuing without end.

Suddenly, all became quiet outside.

Han Lingshuang didn’t dare to reach out with her Divine Sense. She could only prick up her ears to carefully listen to any movement outside. After a long while, thinking that Empress Feng had truly left, she gingerly lifted her gaze to look outside.

Just at that moment!

A head appeared upside down from the mouth of the cave!

"Hee, hee, hee, hee..." came the voice, laughing: "Sweet young thing, you don’t want your Fuyao Country to be stopped here, do you..."

"Ah——"

Han Lingshuang committed suicide.

Just after a single glance, she decisively drew her dagger and ended her own life, thus ending that terrible journey. For several years after, she dared not sleep because she’d instantly be plagued by nightmares of returning to that cave, and echoes of the horrifying laughter would reverberate...

The humiliation of committing suicide at the Immortal Sect conference made her the laughingstock among her royal peers. Born in the lap of luxury, she tasted the bitterness of life for the first time.

So, she decided to take revenge.

The enmity from the Immortal Sect conference will be settled at the Immortal Sect conference. She set out to overcome her weakness and started training full force, finally becoming the head of the Yu Bo mansion.

She found a child who had been taken by the tiger demon and raised from a young age. This child surprisingly had rare talent for knife wielding. She decided to bring him under the Yu Bo Mansion and exceptionally teach him Waveslasher Blade, which was only learnt by the royal family.

Everything was for this round of the Immortal Sect conference.

If the Shu Mountain Sect is eliminated in the Hundred Doors contest for five consecutive rounds, they will lose their seat in the Nine Heavens. If her disciple can personally boot them out, Han Lingshuang’s demons would be driven away too.

Hu Sanlang, everything is up to you!

How similar are the brightness in the sword of the young man in the screen and the eyes of Han Lingshuang outside the screen?

They are all fiery and high spirited.

But when her gaze shifts to a far distance, to Empress Feng, she finds that woman with terrible memories, laid back and engaging in banter with two old men. There were several jars of wine beside her feet, and a bowl of crispy fried pork intestines in her hand. She was nonchalantly spearing the dish with a bamboo stick while talking.

She seemed extremely pleasant, displaying no signs of awareness that her disciple was on the verge of elimination.

You must be forcing yourself to keep calm... Han Lingshuang thought to herself.

When your disciple becomes the scapegoat for Shu Mountain’s fall from the Nine Heavens, I refuse to believe you will stay this calm.

But then, looking at Chu Liang’s expression in the screen, it was similar to that of his teacher, weren’t they?

They were both so calm and composed.

Suddenly, Han Lingshuang started to feel some unease.
