Chapter 3500: Secret Assistance
The core disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Jin Sang, did not possess a single God Tier pill on him. Let alone God Tier pills, he did not even have any supreme grade Immortal Tier pills. He currently lay in the ring without an inch of strength, his presence feeble.
On the other side, after ingesting the God Tier pill, the disciple of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, Xue Ran, recovered rapidly both in terms of his injuries and his energy. At this moment, he stared straight at Jin Sang on the ground. His pale face was filled with murderousnes. Afterwards, he lifted his feet with difficulty and approached Jin Sang step by step with his sword in hand.
“You actually made me suffer such heavy injuries. That’s basically unforgivable. This is definitely the greatest humiliation in my life so far.”
“You’ll pay with blood for this humiliation.” Xue Ran ground his teeth as his sword gradually began to shine brightly.
Nong Fugui’s face was sunken in the air. He said sternly, “It’s our loss!” With that, he started to fly down.
“Slow down, elder Nong. I feel like it’s better for your disciple to admit defeat himself.” But this time, Lang Qi stopped Nong Fugui. His presence as a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch locked onto Nong Fugui, preventing him from leaving.
“Jin Sang is already heavily injured, no longer capable of battle. As an elder of the sect, I have the authority to decide for the disciple,” Nong Fugui said with a sunken face. His elderly eyes gradually sharpened. “Don’t tell me the disciple of your Sword Sect of Startling Thunder truly wants to openly kill a core disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the ring?”
Lang Qi turned a deaf ear to Nong Fugui’s question. Instead, he looked down at Jin Sang lying in the ring. He let out a fake smile and said slowly, “You’re called Jin Sang, right? You cultivated for over eight hundred thousand years in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to reach your current cultivation. However, do you know how long your opponent, Xue Ran, cultivated for? Just over seventy thousand years. Xue Ran only used seventy thousand years to go from a mortal to his current cultivation, less than a tenth of the time you took, yet in the end, you’re not his opponent.”
Jin Sang had not fallen unconscious, so he heard everything that Lang Qi said. His elderly eyes were filled with fury.
This battle had been anything but fair to him!
“Jin Sang, I’ll give you an opportunity right now. Admit defeat to Xue Ran and admit that as a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, you will never surpass the disciples of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. Otherwise, the two of you will have to keep fighting.” Lang Qi’s insulting words rang out from the sky, not only leaving Jin Sang pale from anger, but also making the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens ball their fists. Their fury had reached the limit.
“I… won’t… admit defeat… never… I’d rather… die in battle than… lower my head… to you.” Jin Sang ground his teeth as he laid on the ground, speaking in broken sentences.
“Your Sword Sect of Startling Thunder has gone too far,” the sect master Chen Shuzhi said coldly.
“If you think we’ve gone too far, then you shouldn’t have agreed to the gamble in the ring. Take your people and leave immediately.” Lang Qi snickered.
Nong Fugui and Chen Shuzhi fell silent.
Down below, Jian Chen stood amongst the auxiliaries. His gaze paused on Nong Fugui and Chen Shuzhi before turning towards the ring. With a thought, an invisible strand of sword intent immediately condensed from thin air. Afterwards, he directly sent it into Jin Sang’s body through the Laws of Space without raising any attention.
“Keep igniting the source of your life and power the strand of sword intent in your body. Kill your opponent. This might not be your power and you might think you won through unfair means, but this battle in the ring had never been fair to the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the first place.”
Jian Chen altered his voice and communicated with Jin Sang. No one apart from Jin Sang heard anything.
Immediately, Jin Sang’s dim eyes lit up with hope again. Even though he did not know who was helping him, he could sense the strength of the sword intent inside his body.
This was definitely a great power that could kill any Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal.
In the next moment, Jin Sang continued to burn the tiny bit of source of life he had remaining. An invisible fire appeared around him. Under the support of the fire, he stood up with difficulty in the ring.
At this moment, Xue Ran had arrived before Jin Sang with tottering steps. He smiled away viciously, about to slash out with his sword.
But at this moment, powerful sword intent erupted from Jin Sang’s body before turning into a streak of light and enveloping Xue Ran.
The streak of light left as quickly as it came. Before anyone could respond, the glow from Jin Sang had already vanished.
Afterwards, as if he had lost all of his strength, Jin Sang fell backwards in the ring stiffly. His eyes were shut; he had already fallen into deep unconsciousness.
Before him, the disciple of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, Xue Ran, stood rigidly. A tiny, bloody mark appeared on his forehead.
He did not collapse, but his soul had already been torn apart. He had died.
In the air, Lang Qi’s expression suddenly changed drastically. He immediately appeared above the ring and locked onto Xue Ran with a shocked gaze. His face was filled with disbelief.
Nong Fugui arrived by Jin Sang as well. He first glanced at Xue Ran in surprise before immediately leaving with Jin Sang without any hesitation.
The sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Chen Shuzhi, appeared above the ring and stared at the deceased Xue Ran with a frown. He murmured, “What is this secret technique? As the sect master, I’ve never heard about any secret technique like that in our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”
Suddenly, powerful killing intent surged out. Lang Qi’s face was extremely sunken. He stared at the unconscious Jin Sang shielded by Nong Fugui with great fury. He said icily, “How bold of you. You’ve actually killed a disciple of our Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens must provide me with an explanation for this.”
“The disciple of your Sword Sect of Startling Thunder died due to an accident. Jin Sang is greatly weakened as well, with his foundations damaged. He’s fallen into deep unconsciousness. It’s quite obvious from this that his final attack was not under his control at all. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up like this either,” Nong Fugui said sternly, “And when you fight, it’s unavoidable for accidents to happen sometimes. I’m certain you understand this as well, sir.”
“An accident? You want to just pass this off as a simple accident?” Lang Qi’s gaze became extremely terrifying. He was like a vicious beast, radiating with bloodthirst. He stared sharply at Nong Fugui as he stressed each word, “Hand him over to me. I hope you don’t force me into taking action personally.”
“Hahaha, is the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder such a sore loser?” At this moment, a great laugh rang out. Jiang Nan stood forward from among the auxiliaries and said loudly, “You’re the ones who set up the battles in the ring. You’re the ones who broke the fairness. You’re also the ones who tried to kill someone in the ring. Now that one of your people has died, you’ve become discontent with everything suddenly. Your Sword Sect of Startling Thunder is a sect with some reputation after all. Since when did you become so shameless that you can’t even afford to lose a match in the ring?”
Lang Qi glanced past Jiang Nan with a sunken gaze and said sternly, “Who are you?”
“An auxiliary of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Jiang Nan. I come from the Jiang Family of the Polar Jade Heaven.” Jiang Nan sneered.
When he heard the Jiang Family of the Polar Jade Heaven, Lang Qi immediately narrowed his eyes with deep fear. After a moment of silence, he said sternly, “This is a matter between us and the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. It has nothing to do with you auxiliaries.”
“So what if it has nothing to do with me? I just can’t bear the sight of your Sword Sect of Startling Thunder acting as sore losers, so I stood forward to say something about it.” Jiang Nan’s face was filled with content.
Lang Qi shut his eyes slowly. He did not continue arguing with Jiang Nan. When he opened his eyes again, they were chillingly cold.
In the next moment, he left the ring with Xue Ran’s corpse.
The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had won the second match!
“The fate of the fighters no longer matters in the next few matches. Once they enter the ring, only one will emerge alive.”
“You’re up, Yao Yang!” Lang Qi said.
The second disciple from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder flew into the ring and called out in the direction of the main peak, “Who will face me, Sword Sect of Violet Heavens? The battle will not be stopped until one of us is dead!”
“Yao Yang probably possesses a god artifact as well and many God Tier pills,” Jiang Nan’s voice rang out again with a sneer. “Looks like your Sword Sect of Startling Thunder is determined to take advantage of how the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens have no god artifacts and God Tier pills. Perhaps you want to make the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens leave the Sword Region of Violet Heavens in the most miserable and ugliest manner?”
When they heard that, the expressions of the core disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens all changed. Their hearts immediately sank to the very bottom. Those disciples who were ready for a battle earlier had now lost their morale.
In their eyes, the matches in the ring had to do with the sect’s pride and reputation. Every match was extremely important. If they did not possess a certain level of confidence, they would not dare to fight so easily.
“Let me.” At this moment, Jian Chen stood up and directly flew into the ring.
“Isn’t that auxiliary Jian Chen? Why’s he participating?” All of the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens were taken aback as they gazed at Jian Chen standing in the ring. Even the several dozen auxiliaries were surprised.
In the air, Chen Shuzhi and Nong Fugui also looked at Jian Chen.
Lang Qi glanced past Jian Chen sharply and said haughtily, “This is a matter between our Sword Sect of Startling Thunder and the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. What gives you the right, an externally recruited auxiliary, to participate?”
Jian Chen ignored Lang Qi. He had spent quite some time in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, so he obviously understood that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had a rule. All externally recruited auxiliaries were forbidden from participating in internal sect affairs.
There were only two places where the auxiliaries of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had to help out with. The first was to offer their strength to power the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain, and the second was to assist the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with condensing the Seven-coloured Sword Lotus.
There were far too few experts in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. It was impossible for them to power the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain or condense the Seven-coloured Sword Lotus, which was why they had to recruit people.
However, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had many enemies, and their development was limited. They constantly faced threats as well. Under ordinary circumstances, there were no experts that would join a sect like that, which was why the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens came up with the rules for the externally-recruited auxiliaries.
These auxiliaries were not actually disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. It was more like a contract.
Jian Chen looked at the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Chen Shuzhi, and the elder Nong Fugui. “I am Jian Chen. I am willing to join the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, to become a part of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and to fight for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Does the sect master and elder permit?”
