Chapter 476: Chapter 152: Fast is five years, slow is ten years!

"Divine Wind Absolute Kill!"

Unleashing his Martial Soul and Sword Intent at forty percent power, Luo Cheng’s pupils brimmed with electric sharpness as the Thunder Hidden Sword slashed heavily.

Boom!

A massive Sword Qi Tornado howled forth, colliding and grinding against the air, producing metallic explosions and screeches.

The incoming blood-red giant palm briefly clashed with the Sword Qi Tornado but was immediately pierced through!

The somewhat diminished Sword Qi Tornado retained its momentum, spinning towards the man in black to shred him apart.

"How could a mere Late Stage Awakening Vein Realm Fourth Layer cultivator possibly..."

The man in black’s eyes widened impossibly round, unable to accept the sight before him. His pupils were filled with both shock and terror.

Seeing the Sword Qi coming for him, he had no chance to evade. He frantically pushed his Essence Energy to its limits in an attempt to block it.

Plop-plop-plop-plop-plop...

Relentless Sword Qi bombarded and twisted through him as the man in black tried desperately to hold his ground.

Yet the power of the Sword Qi far exceeded his expectations. His Protective Essence Energy was swiftly torn apart, leaving countless sword marks all over his body before he was ripped into pieces, spraying blood everywhere.

Bang!

As the Sword Qi dispersed, the man in black reached his limit and a pillar of blood over ten feet high spurted from his mouth. He fell from midair, crashing into the ground and forming a massive crater.

At this moment, not a single patch of flesh remained intact on his arms. He lay there as a bloody mess, barely clinging to life.

Swish!

Luo Cheng’s figure flickered as he appeared beside the crater.

"You!"

The man in black’s face shifted dramatically. His fear-filled voice begged, "Please, don’t kill me! Spare me!"

Luo Cheng sneered, glancing at the corpses of the villagers not far away, focusing on the mother and her two children:

"Did you spare them when they begged for mercy?"

The man in black swallowed hard, disdainfully replying, "They were mere mortals! Compared to us Awakening Vein Realm cultivators, they’re no better than ants crawling on the ground. How could they possibly warrant consideration?"

"Besides, killing me won’t benefit you in any way! Spare me, and I’ll give you all the Blood Pills I have on me! I can even reveal the location of our Blood Nether Sect’s base to you. If you report it, you’ll surely earn great merit!"

Luo Cheng’s eyes gleamed. "Oh? Where is your base?"

The man in black, noticing Luo Cheng’s hesitation to strike, rejoiced inwardly.

He really is just a naive boy! Too inexperienced!!

However, what his opponent likely didn’t realize was that he was the direct disciple of Master Tu and carried the Blood Nether Sect’s secret techniques!

If he were to die, the Elders within the sect would sense it immediately!

Buying more time until sect experts arrived would surely mean death for his opponent!

"Heh! By then, I’ll make you beg for life but find no escape from death!"

Hiding his sinister thoughts, the man in black maintained a composed façade and said:

"Our base is underground. The Black Cloud Mountain Range spans thousands of miles, so I can’t pinpoint the exact location. I can only sketch a rough outline..."

Slash!

Before his words were finished, a flash of sword light lit up his eyes. He had no time for any reaction as his throat was cleanly pierced.

"Cough... agh... you..."

Clutching his throat, the man in black stared daggers at Luo Cheng, his gaze filled with rage and profound resentment. He made one final struggle before collapsing motionless and ceasing to breathe.

"Since you couldn’t say, there’s no need for me to hear it."

Luo Cheng sheathed his sword with indifference etched across his face.

Although he couldn’t discern what the man in black was scheming, he had sensed murderous intent.

This man was undoubtedly harboring some treacherous plot!

Given that, eliminating him was the simplest solution.

"To think that the Blood Nether Sect has a base hidden within the Black Cloud Mountain Range. It seems they’ve already infiltrated the Great Yue Dynasty."

"Judging from their words, the Three Great Sects likely already know about this and are investigating it..."

Luo Cheng muttered to himself before shaking his head.

This type of matter wasn’t something he could get involved in at his current level. NovelFire

"It’s best not to linger here."

Given the likelihood of encountering other Blood Nether Sect experts in the Black Cloud Mountain Range, Luo Cheng quickly gathered the storage rings and corpses of the deceased into his Lingxiao Jade Token, then disappeared into the skies in the blink of an eye.

Silence returned to the valley.

Yet, the thick stench of blood lingering in the air made the stillness all the more eerie.

Who knows how much time passed.

Suddenly, a sharp cry pierced through the skies.

A four-legged monstrous bird broke through the clouds and descended.

The bird’s body was surrounded by a sinister red blood aura, with rotting flesh hanging from its stark white skeletal frame. Its two eyes, glowing like blood-red lanterns, exuded an unnerving, malignant light that sent shivers down the spine at a mere glance.

Upon its back were two figures.

One was cloaked entirely in shadows, exuding an inscrutable aura—it was none other than Blood Crow Elder, who had once encountered Luo Cheng.

Beside him stood a middle-aged man with a ruddy iron-like complexion, towering like a human fortress.

His thick fingers resembled tree roots and his sharp triangular eyes cut like blades. Just standing there, his presence exuded a suffocating pressure akin to a crouching tiger or coiled dragon.

"The stench of blood is overwhelming—this must be the place!"

The middle-aged man inhaled deeply, then leaped down to the ground, smashing a crater where he landed. He swept his gaze around and furrowed his brows deeply:

"Where is everyone?!"

He had been at their base discussing an important matter with Blood Crow Elder when abruptly informed that four Awakening Vein Realm disciples had been slain here—including his own direct disciple!

This loss was an affront to his pride, compelling him to come personally to uncover the audacious culprit!

But unexpectedly, there was nothing here!

Not even the remains!

"Let me take a look."

Blood Crow Elder landed beside him soundlessly, reaching out to grasp the empty air.

Ssss...! f r\eeNovelFire.c(o)(m)

The air trembled as strands of bloodmist gathered into Blood Crow Elder’s palm.

Examining the bloodmist, his raspy voice echoed:

"Indeed, four disciples perished here, killed by a single individual. The residual bloodmist carries traces of sharpness—it must have been a swordsman who had grasped the Sword Intent Prototype."

"A swordsman who has grasped the Sword Intent Prototype! There are no such experts near this area! It must have been a disciple from the Three Sects! I’ll find out who, and when I do...!!"

The middle-aged man’s face twisted in fury as he roared.

Boom!

His roar emitted an invisible shockwave, leveling nearby houses, uprooting trees, and sending earth and sand swirling—a vision of apocalypse.

After venting, the middle-aged man turned to Blood Crow Elder and said solemnly:

"Blood Crow, how long must this clandestine skulking last?! If the Three Great Sects already suspect our existence, why don’t we just eradicate them and annihilate the Great Yue Dynasty, bathing it in rivers of blood?!"

"Tu Wanshan, restrain yourself."

With a wave of Blood Crow Elder’s hand, calm returned to the surroundings as he replied:

"The Great Chu Empress may be history, but plenty still watch us closely. Minor skirmishes are one thing, but an open war would unite them against us. Our foundation remains weak; far too many forces remain unpenetrated. We must endure a little longer."

Tu Wanshan grunted heavily, "Endure, endure! We’ve endured for years—how much longer must this go on?!"

Blood Crow Elder’s eyes flickered with a crimson gleam:

"Rest assured, it won’t be long. Once the leader revives, the Blood Nether Sect will dominate the Eastern Continent. At most five years, perhaps as long as ten. By then, wiping out the Three Sects will be as effortless as flipping a hand. Even eradicating the Great Yue Dynasty will be but child’s play."
