Chapter 154 - Clashes outside the County CityThat night, within the Sword Fighting Palace, Anshan Taiping had a huge feast. There were five hundred people at the table, it was extremely lively. There were more than just this many people partic.i.p.ating in the Sword Discourse a.s.sembly and the spectators at that time. However, Anshan Taiping could not invite everyone.
Every single force was seated together, so the Sky-splitting Sword Sect was naturally no exception. On Ling Dao"s table sat Ao Long, Ouyang Susu and the other disciples. All of them appeared to be very happy. After all, this time, Sky-splitting Sword Sect was number one.
"Come, Ling Dao, let me toast you!""Right, I also want to toast you. This year"s sword battle will depend on you!"
All the Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple raised their cups and insisted on drinking with Ling Dao. Even if Ling Dao was young, his alcohol capacity was definitely not small. Even if this group of Sky-splitting Sword Sect were to gather together, they would still not be able to get close to Ling Dao.
Some people were happy while others were sad. On the other hand, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect was elated as if their parents had died. Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect"s face was calm. Those disciples didn"t even dare to move their chopsticks, only sitting there sullenly."The matter of the spirit stone vein must not be forgotten. But the rules of the Great Luo Dynasty s are not something we can break.
Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect frowned. The only thing he could think of was to speed up the mining process. This way, he would be able to earn a huge sum of money before Anshan confiscated the spirit stone mines. As long as he could keep as many spirit stones as he wanted, he wouldn"t be able to keep the lode any longer.Comparatively speaking, the atmosphere in the Heavy Sword Sect was much better. Even though he did not get first place in the Warrior Sword Conference, it was still a matter of fame. Zhong Taicang would never hand over the spirit stone vein. If there were no real losses, then he would be able to bear it.
"Smile, laugh. Tomorrow is the day of your death!"From this morning onwards, the thunderstorm had disappeared. Without the support of the lightning energy, Ling Dao"s strength could not be considered to be much. Zhong Jianxing only had his left arm left, so naturally, he hated Ling Dao to the extreme. Zhong Jianxing who had lost his right arm could not even be compared to a Heaven Breaking Middle Stage warrior.
Even if Ling Dao did not have the support of the lightning power, Zhong Jianxing was afraid that he was not Ling Dao"s match. Using a sword in his left hand and using a sword in his right, was definitely different. However, as long as Zhong Taicang takes action, then Sky-splitting Sword Sect and the rest of the people should not even think about escaping, Ling Dao would definitely die in Zhong Jianxing"s hands.
Situ De and the other A disciple at the peak of the Soaring Sky Realm were also extremely angry. They were all fantasizing how they would torture Ling Dao tomorrow. Unfortunately, they didn"t know that since Ling Dao"s Heavenly Thunder Sword was covered with chronic poison, they wouldn"t be able to live for long. If they knew, they wouldn"t be able to laugh now.
On the other hand, the Black Tortoise Sword Sect was relatively calm. In any case, the Black Tortoise Sword Sect was either third or fourth in the annual sword sparring compet.i.tion. There wasn"t much of a difference. The only difference was that they were defeated by the Sky-splitting Sword Sect this year. This sword faction that they had looked down upon in the past had actually surpa.s.sed them.
"Father, what do you think about tomorrow?"
Although Anshan Feihong had lost to him, Ling Dao had shown mercy to all the Anshan disciples, so he naturally did not have any objections to Ling Dao. Furthermore, Ling Dao was only fifteen years old and he was only at the Heaven Breaking Middle Stage. For him to achieve such an achievement, this young man was definitely worthy of befriending.
"Don"t worry, I know what I"m doing!"Anshan Taiping nodded, and did not explain anything. He had already allied herself with the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, so she would naturally intervene tomorrow. Furthermore, Ling Dao was a Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple. No matter how intense the battle was tomorrow, he would do his best to protect Ling Dao.
The next day.
A hundred miles away from Anshan County City, the people from Heavy Sword Sect, Black Tortoise Sword Sect, and True Martial Sword Sect were all gathered there. In order to prevent the people of Sky-splitting Sword Sect from escaping, they had naturally rushed here early on. Their goal was to prevent Sky-splitting Sword Sect from escaping from any one of them.Soon, the carriages were heading towards that direction. Duan Zhenghui knew that there was an ambush, but he still wanted to return. He was indeed able to hide in Anshan County City today, but unfortunately, he was unable to hide for his entire life, and would have to face it sooner or later.
"He"s here!"As a Origin Stage Warrior, Zhong Taicang"s eyesight naturally surpa.s.sed other people"s. Not long after he finished speaking, the Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect and the others all saw Sky-splitting Sword Sect"s carriage. A smile appeared on their faces. Their target had finally arrived.
"Duan Zhenghui, you really made us wait. Since we"re here, why aren"t you getting off the carriage and chatting with us old friends?"Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect had the most hatred towards Duan Zhenghui, so he was naturally the first to speak. Even if the True Martial Sword Sect went against the Sky-splitting Sword Sect alone, the Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect would not be afraid, not to mention the Heavy Sword Sect and the Black Tortoise Sword Sect were by his side.
"I"ve made you all wait for a long time. I am truly sorry. I wonder why you all are waiting for us here?"
Since Duan Zhenghui said so, it was obvious that he was asking the question even though he already knew the answer. One by one, the horse carriages stopped and Duan Zhenghui walked down from the carriage. Zhuang Xin, Ao Long, Ling Dao and the others also got off the carriage, and started to fight with Heavy Sword Sect, True Martial Sword Sect and the Black Tortoise Sword Sect.
"You"re still playing dumb at this point? We are here to take your life! "Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect raised his sword and walked towards Duan Zhenghui. Even in a one on one battle, Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect was not afraid of Duan Zhenghui at all. The only person that caused the Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect to be wary of him was Anshan Taiping. Fortunately, Zhong Taicang was present, so Anshan Taiping handed it over to him.
"Anshan Taiping, what kind of hero is hiding? I, Sect Leader, know that you will appear in the carriage! "
Zhong Taicang finally opened his mouth and his eyes swept across Sky-splitting Sword Sect"s carriages. If Anshan Taiping had not followed him here, Duan Zhenghui would definitely not have been so calm. After all, this was not the Sword Fighting Palace. Although the compet.i.tion on the Sword Battlestage was fierce, as long as they did not sign the Life and Death Contract, their lives would not be in danger.
But now it was different. This kind of battle was a battle of life and death. There was no victor or loser, only life and death. If both the Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect and Duan Zhenghui had a life-and-death battle, there was no need to talk about the others. True Martial Sword Sect, Black Tortoise Sword Sect, and Heavy Sword Sect Disciple were all fighting for their lives against Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple.
Those who were able to partic.i.p.ate in the Sword Compet.i.tion were the elites of the major forces. The more dead they were, the weaker every power would be. If he were to kill everyone in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect here, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect would definitely become dispirited in the future. Without the Sect Leader, without the outstanding talents of the younger generation, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect would have been crippled!
