Chapter 203: Golden Rules, You’re the Peach Blossom Sword from Over a Century Ago!
“Lin Xuankong, long time no see!” Yuan Cang’s figure slowly emerged. The most update n0vels are published on nοvelfire.net
Along with him came more than ten others, all of whom were at the Life and Death Realm! Especially behind the blood-red light, two extremely terrifying auras were surging.
Just the pressure from their gaze felt like a mountain, overwhelmingly oppressive.
They were definitely beyond the Life and Death Realm.
“Marquis Realm.” Meng Changqing’s eyes locked onto the two figures.
Such an aura, he had only seen it once before.
It was during the Genius Battle, on the Pavilion Master of the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion. However, they were not as powerful as the Pavilion Master, significantly weaker.
“Yuan Cang, you still came,” the Grand Elder spoke softly, his voice carrying a tone of resignation.
“Of course I came! If it weren’t for you back then, would I be in this situation today? You should know that I was once the third true disciple of Heavenly Emperor Mountain!” Yuan Cang’s face twisted slightly.0
“Hmph, it’s all your own doing. Who can you blame?” The Grand Elder snorted coldly.
“Hahaha! My own doing? It was just a matter of choice.
“In Tianling Prefecture, with the golden rules of Linglong Holy Land, I couldn’t touch you, but now that you’ve dared to step out, today, I’ll settle both old and new scores together!” Yuan Cang took a deep breath, his eyes becoming indifferent.
“Also.” Yuan Cang turned his gaze to Meng Changqing, “I’ll give you one last chance. Join my Wanxiang Pavilion. Don’t let your future end here in vain!”
“And you others.” Yuan Cang looked at the others — the Shi brothers, Mo Xiaoyu, and Han Luoyu.
“A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Tai Xuan Sect is nothing but a sinking ship. There’s no need to go down with it!
“Join my Wanxiang Pavilion, and there might even be a chance for you to enter the Holy Land. I don’t need to explain the significance of the Holy Land, do I?”
Yuan Cang’s words were filled with confidence. He believed that under such circumstances, these young talents should make the wise choice. And if he could bring so many world-shaking geniuses back with him, he would undoubtedly be rewarded!
He might even return to Heavenly Emperor Mountain, where the Mountain Lord would reshape his foundation and put him back on the path to the Great Dao!
However, the response he received was a series of angry glares.
“Mom said to be honest and loyal,” the Shi brothers, one holding an axe, the other a hammer, spoke.
“Bad guy.” Mo Xiaoyu also drew the long sword from his back.
“You want me to betray my master? You’re dreaming.” Han Luoyu raised his palms, the Overlord Meridians beginning to appear.
“Fine, fine, fine!” Yuan Cang laughed in anger.
He couldn’t understand what kind of power the Tai Xuan Sect had to make so many world-shaking geniuses choose it so resolutely in such a situation!
“And you!” Yuan Cang looked at Meng Changqing.
Among these people, Meng Changqing was the one he valued the most!
“I detest being threatened. You’ve crossed the line.” Meng Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze indifferent.
“Fine, it seems you’re all tired of living. In that case, I’ll send you on your way!” Yuan Cang sneered.
If they couldn’t be used by him, then they would all have to die!
“Yuan Cang, even after nearly two hundred years, you’re still as detestable as ever.” Hua Ciyan stepped forward.
“Hua Ciyan!” Yuan Cang recognized her immediately, and his murderous intent skyrocketed.
This woman had played a significant role in the damage to his foundation back then!
“So you’re here too. Perfect, I’ll take your head to see Xi Yingqing!” Yuan Cang’s voice was cold. “I imagine that will be quite the scene!”
“I haven’t finished what I was saying.” Hua Ciyan shook her head and smiled.
“What?” Yuan Cang was momentarily puzzled.
“You still have no eye for talent. Otherwise, why were you the only one who ended up and not the others back then?” Hua Ciyan’s gaze was filled with disdain. “Junior Brother, I’ll leave these people to you. I’ll handle those two.”
“Alright.” Meng Changqing nodded.
Although he was now nearly unmatched within the Life and Death Realm, he was still far from being able to contend with the legendary Marquis experts.
Some things were evident at a glance. The power of a Marquis was too overwhelming, an unimaginable qualitative change.
“Ridiculous, just a Life and Death Realm cultivator, and you think you can contend with a Marquis?” Yuan Cang instinctively wanted to retort.
But then Hua Ciyan disappeared from where she stood.
The next moment, a third terrifying aura suddenly emerged within the vast sea of blood behind him!
There was also the sound of the Yu family swordmaster’s shock and anger.
“Marquis?” Upon hearing this, Yuan Cang’s pupils contracted, his face filled with disbelief.
Marquis? What a joke! How could this be possible?
During the trial back then, eight of Tai Xuan Sect’s eighteen disciples died, and the rest were also severed from their Dao.
There had been no resources over the years. How could they have possibly grown?
“You’ve hidden yourselves well, Tai Xuan Sect!” Yuan Cang’s face twisted with anger! If Hua Ciyan had advanced to the Marquis Realm, it was evident that Xi Yingqing was no longer at the Life and Death Realm either!
“You’re the Peach Blossom Sword from over a hundred years ago!”
In the sea of blood, a terrified voice rang out, but before it could finish, a sword light seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, shattering the skies over a hundred miles, with countless peach blossoms dancing in the wind…
It was a breathtakingly beautiful sword strike, filled with grace yet teeming with deadly danger! The two auras were extinguished almost instantly, disappearing without a trace!
“Impossible.” Yuan Cang was in disbelief.
They were Marquis experts, and there were two of them. How could they be annihilated simultaneously?
Even if they had just entered the Marquis Realm, they shouldn’t have been defeated without a fight!
“Stop dreaming,” suddenly, a calm voice interrupted.
Yuan Cang’s pupils shrank as he saw a tall figure approaching slowly from not far away. The figure held a long sword, exuding a terrifying sword intent.
It was Meng Changqing.
“Stop him!” Yuan Cang shouted in panic.
The Life and Death Realm experts who had followed him rushed toward Meng Changqing without hesitation.
Though they were human, their faces were covered with strange marks, giving the impression that they were completely controlled.
Meng Changqing’s gaze was indifferent. He swung his sword, slicing through the void.
Over ten Life and Death Realm experts perished instantly, their bodies and souls obliterated. Although it was only the first sword technique, with the enhancement of tenfold sword intent, its power was unimaginable.
Even a lower-grade sword technique, in Meng Changqing’s hands, could rival a heavenly-grade technique!
This was the power of sword intent — turning decay into wonder, turning wonder into supremacy!
Seeing this, Yuan Cang felt a chill down his spine and, for the first time, regretted his actions. He regretted not uncovering the truth about Tai Xuan Sect sooner!
He had been completely misled by his assessment during the martial gathering!
At that time, he had deliberately made a move to assess Xi Yingqing’s condition, concluding that Xi Yingqing was at the Life and Death Realm, consistent with the expected growth rate.
But now, it was clear that everything had been a lie!
“You can’t kill me! You can’t kill me! If I die, Wanxiang Pavilion will surely investigate to the end!” as Meng Changqing approached, Yuan Cang hurriedly shouted.
He was merely at the Life and Death Realm. How could he be a match for the Southern Region’s top talent?
“Enough chatter.” Meng Changqing had no patience for his nonsense.
In this situation, whatever Yuan Cang said, he had to die. There was no other choice.
The sword light flashed like snow. Yuan Cang’s body was torn into pieces, turning into blood. Even his spirit was cut to shreds, dissipating into nothingness!
