Chapter 14 Not Interested The sudden arrival of the Qianfan Clan people changed the situation in Riluo Village. The bandits of Sheya Cave and the followers of the Cult of the Devil were all nervous with an instinctive sense of fear when feeling the momentum of the cavalry. The two parties who had just struggled to fight against each other involuntarily got closer together to join hands for defense due to the pressure from the Qianfan Clan. In the eyes of the nine great national clans, the bandits of Sheya Cave and the followers of the Cult of the Devil could be easily eliminated based on their actual strength. “You, such a motley crowd, even daydream to contend for the miraculous weapon of the nine swords?” Ren Yu leaped out of the saddle by kicking up his heels slightly. He drifted down in front of the three people. "If you really made it, the reputation of the holy sword would be humiliated." He glanced at the b.l.o.o.d.y Killer and the master of Sheya Cave with a scornful expression. Being ghastly pale, the two clenched their fists but dared not to argue for fear of being killed by the Qianfan Clan due to carelessness. "With your current strength, you can"t safeguard the Sword Zhongfeng. If you keep it in the world of martial arts, you are doomed to suffer from many troubles.” Ren Yu turned his eyes to Di Hongtian. Di Hongtian stared at Ren Yu and also felt a huge pressure. He had challenged more than a dozen clans of martial arts in succession. Among the younger generation of masters, no one had ever posed such a great pressure on him. Compared to Ren Yu, Dou Kong seemed to be a little weaker. “No wonder he is the young master of the Qianfan Clan, one of the nine great national clans!” He couldn"t help sighing secretly. Ren Yu slowly glanced at the Sword Zhongfeng and suddenly his eyes were flashing. "You keep a miraculous sword with you; is it a blessing or a curse?" Ren Yu wondred aloud. Di Hongtian shook his head and looked at Ren Yu’s eyes, saying, “If you want it, stop with the nonsense and just defeat me!” "You . . . " Ren Yu suddenly held his breath. "Aha . . . you are the orphan of the Sword Villa. I’m just reluctant to see you die painfully. Moreover, I don’t want to agitate another round of turmoil in the world of martial arts because of this sword, believe it or not." "There’s no point in prattling on uselessly. To get the sword, just defeat me!" Di Hongtian responded calmly. He had heard such a kind of grandiose words so often in his childhood. After the destruction of Sword Villa, the experience during that time made him understand that no matter how beautiful the words sounded, it was just grandiosity. Anyone who took it seriously was no doubt looking for death. “Sword Villa, which used to be one of the nine great national clans, had a friendly relationship with our Qianfan Clan. We don’t intend to seize the Sword Zhongfeng by force. If you are willing to join our clan with the sword, I promise you will be free from the calamity. We will never seize the sword from you; instead, we will try to protect you,” Ren Yu said with mild expression on his face. However, since the destruction of Sword Villa, Di Hongtian had witnessed the fickleness of human nature with great sensitivity. He could clearly perceive the hidden coldness of Ren Yu"s eyes. “Not interested!” Di Hongtian shook his head. “Well. . .” Ren Yu took a deep breath and shook his head. “Okay, in that case, I’m afraid I have to violate my initial intention to try for the sake of the peace in the world of martial arts.” “Such insolence!” Aunt Water waved her palm with great anger. The gang of the Qianfan Clan immediately scattered to have all of them besieged. “Please stay away, two elders. Since Prince Di proposes fair play, we should abide by the rule.” Ren Yu waved his hand to stop all his people and turned back to the Blood Killer and the master of Sheya Cave, shouting, “Get out of here!” The master of Sheya Cave reluctantly stood aside since he knew he was no match for him. However, as one of the eight killers of the Cult of the Devil, the Blood Killer was pale due to great anger. “Young master, although the Qianfan Clan is one of the nine great national clans, our Cult of the Devil is also . . . ” They never avoided calling themselves the Cult of the Devil; instead they were proud of the t.i.tle. In the booming period, the Cult of the Devil was much stronger than any other of the nine great national clans. It was just because of this reason, as well as their outrageous behavior, that it was suppressed by the nine national clans and fled to the central plain area in panic. According to the followers of the Cult of the Devil, they were never weaker than the nine great national clans. “Hmm?” Ren Yu suddenly returned with a fierce light in his eyes. “If you cannot wait for death, I can help you now.” The real vitality turned over inside the Blood Killer and the blood vessels expanded like dancing snakes. However, after glaring at Ren Yu’s eyes for a while, the momentum inside retreated like a tide. He clenched his fists and silently retired. "Well, since no one can bother us, we can have a good fight." With the jade fan in his hand, Ren Yu stared at Di Hongtian, and the momentum inside his body slowly arose. “If I’m defeated, I will harbor no complaints. If I’m lucky enough to win by chance, I hope you can abide by your commitment. Of course, if you are willing to join our Qianfan Clan, I will also keep my promise.” Di Hongtian glanced around him with a sneering smile on his face. Being besieged by so many people of Qianfan Clan, how could he fight without any worries? Ren Yu was just trying to confuse him. “I’m a man of my word!” However, without any hesitation, he slowly pulled out his heavy sword. “Just fight first.” “Good!” Ren Yu unfolded the jade fan in his hand and the real vitality suddenly hovered overhead as sharp as the sword blade. “Go ahead!” Whirl! Di Hongtian was reluctant to make any response. He suddenly pulled out the Sword Zhongfeng and stabbed with all his force. On the sword blade was the image of a virtual dragon curled into a coil. Wind was agitated by the movement of the sword and the air was suddenly split into two forceful walls to surge aside. Ding! Ren Yu folded the jade fan in his hand and pointed against the tip of Sword Zhongfeng like a short stick. Di Hongtian stepped forward without any pause and swept the Sword Zhongfeng horizontally. Over the sword blade, some heavy forces were ejected into a sword curtain to strike Ren Yu’s waist. With half a step back, Ren Yu dodged to avoid the attack. He suddenly unfolded the jade fan and hit its sharp spine against the neck of his opponent. Bang! Di Hongtian raised his elbow so that the sword hilt violently struck against the fan. The jade fan was full of real vitality and its soft surface was as solid as refined steel indeed. In the sudden collision, a powerful strength spread out in all directions instantly. Ren Yu stepped back a little and his face seemed very serious. “If we were at the same age, I would not be a match for you. However, you are inferior now,” he said slowly. Although only age fifteen or sixteen, Di Hongtian had such a powerful strength, which already made him feel quite uneasy. “It’s too early to make that judgment.” Di Hongtian snorted and slightly stamped his foot. The force inside his body suddenly expanded and he seemed to change into a giant with a ma.s.sive Sword Zhongfeng in his hands. With a low roar, he violently split with his sword. Like a giant waving his sword, the momentum seemed to be powerful enough to even split the mountains and rivers. The Tianxiang Sword Art was all-inclusive. The swordsmanship he had practiced only focused on the heaviness and steadiness with ferocious and invincible forces.
