The Hengshan Sect leader, though dressed in black, did not conceal his face. He slowly stepped forward with a cold smile and said to the Tianshan Sword Sect leader:

"Long time no see, old friend!!"

The leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect, upon seeing that it was actually the leader of the Hengshan Sect, was clearly incredulous, but after a moment, he angrily spoke up:

"So it was you. It really was you. You wouldn't admit it back at the Xiaoyao Sect. You said it was all part of the Hengshan Sect's conspiracy. Why aren't you pretending now?"

"You've brought your men directly to my Tianshan Sword Sect to make a move? Your Hengshan Sect's ambition to wipe out other first-rate forces and dominate the martial world has finally been exposed, hasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Hengshan Sect was furious. This was a completely unjust accusation against them, so he said:

"Although today my Hengshan Sect has attacked your Tianshan Sword Sect, there is something I must emphasize again: from beginning to end, my Hengshan Sect was not the so-called mastermind behind this."

There was no plan to have the Tianlong Gang deliberately deliver the items to the Xiaoyao Sect, nor was there any intention to send anyone to kill your sect leaders.

Of course, there's no point in me explaining all this to you now; you certainly won't believe me anyway.

Moreover, my Hengshan Sect has now reached a point of irreconcilable conflict with all other sects. Explaining all this to you seems pointless.

But I didn't do it, and that's it. Even if we're fighting to the death today, I won't admit to doing what happened before.

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect gritted his teeth and let out a cold snort.

He couldn't be bothered with such things. All he knew was that the Tianshan Sword Sect was facing annihilation. He had previously been so confident that the Tianshan Sword Sect could recover its strength even slightly.

Then, if we join forces with other sects to cause trouble for the Hengshan Sect, we can wipe out the Hengshan Sect.

However, he never dreamed that the Hengshan Sect would take the initiative to contact them, and that the first one to contact them was his Tianshan Sword Sect. Wasn't this tantamount to an impending disaster?

After these major events, the Tianshan Sword Sect had suffered heavy losses and was even considering recruiting some people who were not good at martial arts and had not learned the Tianshan Sword Technique to serve as the sect's representatives and disciples.

Therefore, the Tianshan Sword Sect is no match for the Hengshan Sect at present. The Hengshan Sect is already very powerful, and it has not yet participated in the Beggars' Sect incident, thus preserving its strength.

Therefore, with Hengshan Sect mobilizing almost all of its strength, Tianshan Sword Sect has no chance of resisting and is unlikely to win.

But no matter what, we must forcefully resist, otherwise the Tian Sheng Sword Sect will be destroyed.

Thinking of this, the leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect immediately roared:

"All disciples of the Tianshan Sword Sect, listen to my command! We swear to resist the invaders to the death and we will never allow them to destroy our Hengshan Sect. After this incident, the Tianshan Sword Sect will surely unite with other sects to hold the Hengshan Sect accountable and bring about its annihilation."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Hengshan Sect burst into laughter and said:

"Still daydreaming? Too late. Everyone in the Hengshan Sect, listen to my orders: you must not let any disciple of the Tianshan Sword Sect go."

Not even a cat or a dog is allowed to live; even passing ants must be chopped down.

The disciples of Hengshan Sect drew their longswords and charged towards the disciples of Tianshan Sword Sect.

So the two sides started fighting again, but clearly, just like before, the disciples of the Tianshan Sword Sect suffered heavy losses.

With their numbers already drastically reduced, and having just woken up, they had no chance of defeating the Hengshan Sect disciples who were in much larger numbers and in excellent condition.

Seeing the countless dead and wounded disciples of the Tianshan Sword Sect, the sect leader was also anxious. He hurriedly drew his long sword and charged towards the sect leader of the Hengshan Sect.

"To catch the thief, first catch the king," he thought. He figured if he could take down the leader of the Hengshan Sect, the other members of the sect would naturally flee in disarray like headless flies.

However, imagination is always beautiful, while reality is exceptionally cruel.

Because the Hengshan Sect leader has higher martial arts skills, while the Tianshan Sword Sect leader was seriously injured in the Beggars' Sect this time and has not yet recovered.

Although he strictly demanded that this matter not be spread, the fact remained that he was injured, even though the leader of the Hengshan Sect had also been seriously injured in the Xiaoyao Sect before.

However, the incident involving the Free and Unfettered Sect had occurred some time ago, and he had almost recovered. The incident involving the Beggars' Sect, on the other hand, had only happened a few days ago, so the injuries of the leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect had not yet healed.

One person's injury had healed before, while the other's injury was still quite serious. In addition, their strengths were roughly equal, so the severity of the injury determined one person's weakness.

So after a fight, the Hengshan Sect leader easily kicked the Tianshan Sword Sect leader away.

After the Tianshan Sword Sect leader was kicked away, he quickly flipped over and stood up again. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, but he forcibly swallowed it back down.

He even feigned composure and sneered, saying:

"The Hengshan Sect Leader is indeed powerful; killing me is not enough."

The leader of the Hengshan Sect sneered and said:

"You're quite the actor, aren't you? Well then, let's see how long you can keep this up."

As he spoke, he swiftly appeared before the leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect, carrying a long sword. His swordsmanship was extremely fast, leaving only afterimages with each swing, making it almost impossible to see the sword itself or the various attacks.

In this situation, even some second-rate masters would have been unable to cope. However, the heavily injured leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect was still able to block all kinds of attacks, but his face was getting paler and paler, which clearly indicated that his condition was not good.
