Chapter 176 - Exception
Ever since Yu Shangrong had left the Evil Sky Pavilion, he had challenged countless elites from various backgrounds with his sword and had never lost a single match.
Whether it was Chen Wenjie, one of the three Sword Freaks, or a Six and Seven-leaf elite of the Noble Path, all his opponents died under his sword. For this reason, he rose to fifth place on the blacklist. If he was not a lone wolf and preferred to be free, he would have risen higher on the blacklist.
Nobody knew how profound Yu Shangrong’s cultivation base was. Rumor had it that his cultivation base was on par with the Evil Sky Pavilion’s first disciple, Yu Zhenghai.
The two of them had joined the Evil Sky Pavilion early on and became Ji Tiandao’s prized students. They inherited Ji Tiandao’s mantle and were rumored to have surpassed their master.
Yu Shangrong shot to fame after the battle at Great Yan’s provisional capital in Upper Prime City.
This skill, Return, Enter Three Souls was the sword skill he was famous for.
The abstract and the real overlapped as he moved swiftly.
Luo Shisan’s vision began to blur. He felt as though he was in a dream. Alas, the environment created by Luo Shisan’s Sword Heart Gehenna had created the best condition for his opponent to unleash his skill.
“Since you’ve left the Evil Sky Pavilion, you’re no longer one of its disciples. Why’re you still helping her?”
“Help?” Yu Shangrong shook his head slightly and said with a faint smile, “Luo Shisan, what does it have to do with you whether I help her or not?”
Luo Shisan was stunned. He could not come up with a response. ‘True. Who am I to dictate what he should or shouldn’t do?’ Moreover, he had lost to him.
“We don’t know each other, and yet, from this battle, I can tell you’re not a person who commits heinous crimes for no reason. Why do you choose to be a great villain who’s scorned by everyone?” Luo Shisan was puzzled.
Yu Shangrong’s expression remained calm as he asked, “Are you trying to convert me?”
“Uh…” Luo Shisan felt awkward.
“I remember the last person who said such words to me was Kong Ming,” Yu Shangrong said.
‘Kong Ming? The Temple of Great Emptiness’s Kong Ming!’ Luo Shisan was shocked. It was said that the Temple of Great Emptiness’s Kong Ming had died under the hands of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s fifth disciple, Zhao Yue. He did not expect that the true perpetrator was the Sword Devil, Yu Shangrong.
However, that made sense. Kong Ming was an elite of the Temple of Great Emptiness. Zhao Yue would never be able to kill Kong Ming with her strength and cultivation base.
However, those were no longer important… No matter who the killer was, the world had put the blame on the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Yu Shangrong continued, “Do not follow in Kong Ming’s footsteps…”
Luo Shisan wanted to say something but thought better of it. Could he convert this man? If the Temple of Great Emptiness’s Kong Ming had tried to convert him and failed, he was certain that his words would not have any effect on Yu Shangrong.
Luo Shisan looked at the man before himself. He found it hard to imagine that he was the Sword Devil.
Yu Shangrong walked away on air with his arms crossed at a pace that was neither fast nor slow. “I’ve always stood by my principles and have never made an exception. Since I’m making one now, you should cherish it.”
