Chapter 80 The Unpredictability of Human Hearts



All of them were people with cultivation, and they traveled with great speed. Before long, they arrived at a mountain peak and heard the sounds of fighting from afar.

The group hid on higher ground and looked down, only to see dozens of people fighting in a chaotic battle on a flat area.

Judging from their clothing, they were clearly divided into several factions, with the Qingyun Sect and the Chu family prominently among them.

Meng Xiangyi saw his nephew fighting with a disciple of Wanjian Manor and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Chu Di.

Chu Di bent down and picked up a few pebbles from the ground, saying, "Don't worry, I'll help your nephew if he's in danger."

Upon hearing this, Meng Xiangyi secretly regretted his impulsiveness. With the young master and Young Master Chu here, how could they not save his nephew?

Chu Di had seen Meng Qi at the entrance of the formation, so he knew him.

Chen Sheng, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, possessed exquisite swordsmanship. His opponent was Lin Xiu, the master of Wanjian Manor.

Wanjian Manor is famous for its swordsmanship, and Lin Xiu, the manor lord, is the best among them. His Qingfeng sword is like an extension of his arm, and he can use various sword techniques with ease. With his master-level cultivation, his sword energy flies everywhere.

"Turbid essence chases the moon."

Chen Sheng raised his longsword, and the blade transformed into a blur as it stabbed towards Lin Xiu.

"Flying petals fall."

Lin Xiu did not retreat, but instead pressed forward, his Qingfeng sword splitting into two, then into three, and then countless sword lights appeared in Chen Sheng's eyes, each striking his own sword.

His swordsmanship was instantly broken, and instead, countless sword lights rushed towards him.

"Star wind pierces the sky."

Chen Sheng changed his sword technique, and suddenly his sword aura became chilling, shattering Lin Xiu's sword light.

"White Light Slash".

A gentle breeze caressed my face.

"Flying Sand Sword".

"The Unmarked Swift Sword".

The two exchanged blows, exchanging hundreds of moves, and the fight became truly intense.

As the two swords clashed, terrifying sword energy overflowed, and the sound of swords cutting through the air was dense. Sand and stones flew in the arena, and there was no one else within a radius of several hundred meters.

Those on the distant battlefield had long since stopped fighting, each standing at the edge, watching the two in the center display their might.

A young man in fine clothes looked at the battlefield in the distance and said disdainfully, "Hmph, those two are really fighting desperately, do they even know that we're still in this space?"

Although this young man's cultivation level was not yet at the Grandmaster level, he was extremely blunt when discussing Grandmasters.

This young man was none other than Chu Tianyang. His family's guardian had already joined him through a secret method and led him to explore the secret realm. They arrived here half a day ago.

The person enshrined beside him was called "King," a name that was somewhat treasonous, but since his cultivation had reached the Grandmaster level, it didn't matter in this dynasty.

"Young master, these two are no less powerful than me and the Iron Fist Sect Master. I think we should wait and see."

After speaking, he glanced at Wan Tong, the leader of the Iron Fist Sect, who had just been fighting with him.

Wan Tong sensed something and looked coldly at Wang Shang. In terms of cultivation, the four of them were all about the same, but one of them used fists and the other used palms. In terms of combat power, they were no match for Chen Sheng and Lin Xiu, the two sword cultivators. Of course, he didn't mind if the two of them fought to the death first!

Therefore, Wan Tong and Wang Shang both just snorted coldly and ignored each other, focusing their attention on the battlefield.

"Hahaha, Chen Sheng, when it comes to swordsmanship, your Qingyun Sect is far inferior. How could you possibly be a match for my Wanjian Manor?"

"Bullshit, Lin Xiu! We've exchanged over a thousand blows, and I haven't seen anything extraordinary about you. You'd better retreat!"

"Hmph, your swordsmanship is just the same few moves over and over again, Chen Sheng. You should go back and study the sword manual diligently and practice the sword techniques. Maybe you can catch up with me in one or two ways."

"Outrageous! Lin Xiu, do you intend to fight to the death with my Qingyun Sect? Prepare to die!"

Both sides fought with real intensity, their swordplay becoming even sharper!

The intermingling of figures created a deafening roar, the ground trembled, and dust and sand flew everywhere, obscuring the specific details of the battlefield from a distance.

While the king and Wantong were secretly pleased with themselves, they suddenly felt their hair stand on end and became very alert, thinking that something bad was about to happen!

"Oh no, we've been tricked!"

A cold glint flashed on Wan Tong's side. Before Chen Sheng's sword even touched his body, the sword energy broke through his protective aura.

Wan Tong was terrified. He raised his hand to block, but it was too late. He could only desperately dodge to avoid vital areas.

Pfft!

Chen Sheng's sword pierced through Wan Tong's shoulder, and the deadly sword energy entered his body, instantly causing him serious injury!

With all his remaining strength, Wan Tong grabbed the sword and threw a punch, intending to kill Chen Sheng. Unfortunately, Chen Sheng was prepared and retreated the moment Wan Tong grabbed the sword.

The king was in a similar state, only in a more miserable condition, having had one of his arms severed by Lin Xiu's sword, leaving him in a semi-crippled state.

"mean!"

"Shameless!"

Having suffered such a great loss, Wang Shang and Wan Tong were furious, each staring at Lin Xiu and Chen Sheng, who had already retreated to their own camps.

Chen Sheng didn't care at all. He took the brand-new longsword handed to him by his disciple and said, "Despicable? Shameless? Are you two not despicable and shameless for watching us fight to the death?"

These words left Wan Tong and his companion speechless. Of course, even if they wanted to speak, they couldn't, as they were both using their internal energy to suppress their injuries.

“Brother Lin, they are no longer a threat. I will keep my promise once I obtain the precious medicine here.”

Lin Xiu laughed heartily and said, "Brother Chen is a man of his word, and I trust his character."

The two men were not at all like they had been at each other's throats when they spoke; it was all an act for the other two men to see.

This scene was witnessed by everyone, even the disciples of Qingyun Sect and Wanjian Villa were dumbfounded. Their sect leader's fight was fake, but their disciples' fight was real. Several of them had died in the fight, and several others were seriously injured, but the two of them did not care at all.

It can be said that the two sect leaders taught these inexperienced disciples a lesson, making them understand the wickedness of people's hearts and the worthlessness of human life. When a person dies, everything is gone, and no one even remembers their name!

Meng Qi was one of the few who wasn't seriously injured. At this moment, he secretly lamented how foolish he had been. He had thought that being a chivalrous knight meant wandering the world with a sword. Now he realized how naive he had been. If it weren't for his solid foundation and diligent practice of martial arts, he might be the one lying on the ground right now.

Leaving aside Meng Qi's inner thoughts, Chen Sheng had just finished his conversation and was preparing to head to the cave that only he knew about when a flash of light appeared in the distance, and several more figures appeared.

Five people arrived, each dressed in a Taoist robe with Bagua symbols.

They looked up and saw the situation in the field, and frowned inwardly. One of the Taoists with broad eyebrows muttered, "Why are there so many people in this space? It seems that Chen Jue's secret realm has indeed attracted many powerful people to be able to enter this secret realm."

"Tianzhen Sect?"

Chen Sheng had a bad feeling. The Heavenly Array Sect had never been friendly to them when they were outside, and their superior attitude was really unpleasant.
