Chapter 322 - Renowned Across the Continent
There was a piece of news that spread like wildfire throughout the Zhan Qi Continent and soon reached the Ao Xin Empire.
There was a Sword Immortal named An Lin who slew several Battle Emperors and defeated a special ambassador from the Ao Xin Empire. He then made a public provocation toward Battle God Xu Ming and stated that he would tip the Ao Xin Empire on its head if they pissed him off.
Everyone all over the continent were extremely shocked to hear this piece of news.
The Battle Gods were invincible beings on this continent; their might was unmatched and they were treated as the highest level of royalty.
To the normal person, Battle Gods were like the sun in the sky. They were in an unfathomably high position and no one dared to incur their wrath.
But the Sword Immortal An Lin was basically announcing that he would f*ck the heavens!
One had to realize, the last Battle Sage who had accidentally incurred the wrath of a Battle God already had grass growing thirty feet tall around his tombstone!
Crazy, he’s absolutely crazy!
This was the unanimous response of everyone who heard this piece of news.
In the northern region of the Zhan Qi Continent, Bei Hong Empire.
There were a few people in a small restaurant within the capital city discussing the news surrounding An Lin.
“Hey, did you hear about what happened at the Ao Xin Empire?”
“It’s impossible not to have heard of it, it’s the hot topic on everyone’s lips now. How long has it been since someone dared to provoke a Battle God, I’m pretty certain this An Lin nutjob won’t live for more than three days.”
“Tch… Who would have thought that there were still such bold warriors in this world…”
“Bold? He’s just an idiot who doesn’t know his own strength! People like him will be wiped off the face of the earth soon enough.”
“That’s true, Battle God Xu Ming is invincible, especially after he obtained a Divine Weapon. There have been over a dozen Battle Sages slain by him alone. Only an idiot would provoke him like this.”
A man in a white robe sitting at a nearby table suddenly faltered upon hearing their conversation.
A blank expression appeared on his warm, handsome face.
In the end, he began to chuckle loudly to himself, attracting the attention of all the customers in the restaurant.
“Ao Xin Empire, eh? Ao Xin Empire, wait for me!”
The man drew his antique sword and powerful sword intent erupted between heaven and earth.
He stepped onto the sword and flew away into the air, leaving behind a mass of shocked spectators.
Within the Ao Xin Empire, An Lin and Su Qianyun were stirring up a ton of trouble.
Chung Yang Nation.
Apparently, the Chun Xiao Sword Sect was using a few hundred lives a year as sacrifices for enhancing their sword techniques, but who could stop them?
They were an extremely powerful sect which ruled over a large territory, so were they destined to be spared from divine retribution?
Alright! Let our duo wipe them off the face of the earth.
An Lin swept into the sect with a sword in hand and instantly slew their Battle Emperor rank leader, Zhuang Bifan on the spot.
Su Qianyun’s Moonlight Disc was like the grim reaper’s scythe, mercilessly slaying all the Battle King rank elders of the sect.
Thus, the Chun Xiao Sword Sect was destroyed in one day!
He Gui Nation.
Apparently, the Dragon Blood Demonic Sect was dominating the territory around them, beating all the surrounding sects into submission. They had many powerful warriors within their ranks as well as a frighteningly powerful defensive formation to boot, so who could stop them in their reign of terror?
Alright! Let our duo wipe them off the face of the earth.
An Lin and Su Qianyun swept into the Dragon Blood Demonic Sect and began slaughtering all its warriors without even uttering a single word.
The two Battle Emperors within the demonic sect didn’t even have a chance to escape before they were slain and blood flowed like rivers as corpses piled up into mountains within the sect…
The world was rid of the Dragon Blood Demonic Sect in one day!
Bai Yang Nation, Phoenix Nation…
A series of terrifying feats of extermination rang out across the continent, leaving everyone in shock and awe.
Regardless of what their opinions were of An Lin and Su Qianyun in the past, their current feats shocked people to the core. At least many people were no long doubting their strength.
The titles of Sword Immortal An Lin and Moonlight Holy Maiden rang out across the whole continent.
However, the most alarming feat of all their feats took place at the Zhai Xing Sect.
This was one of the ten largest sects within the Ao Xin Empire.
Their territory spanned almost the entirety of the eastern region of the empire, encompassing around a dozen nations and was truly an imposing colossus.
The Sect Leader, Ling Xiangle and Grand Elder, Ye Chongshan were both Battle Sage rank warriors.
They were powerful beings renowned across the whole continent, and it was exactly because of this that they were able to get away with many evil deeds as even Battle Gods didn’t really want to fight them on their turf.
Within the cluster of mountains in the sect, there were many luxurious palaces and pavilions.
On the tallest peak was a building which emanated a purple light. It was so beautiful and surreal that it appeared as if it was a building from another world.
This was the main tower of the Zhai Xing Sect as well as the core of the whole sect.
“How’s the cultivation of the Demonic Star Flame coming along?”
A man with fine and delicate features with the clear, crisp voice of a child asked as he slowly paced within the main tower.
An elderly man in a purple robe bowed and replied, “Sect Leader, the Demonic Star Flame is very resistant to our attempts to tame it. We’ve been unsuccessful even with the use of the Soul Restriction Formation.”
The man with the delicate features was none other than the Sect Leader of the Zhai Xing Sect, Ling Xiangle.
Ling Xiangle narrowed his eyes slightly. “Just because we’re unable to tame it doesn’t mean our methods are wrong, it simply means our formation isn’t powerful enough! Obtain another two hundred thousand souls to inject into the formation!”
The elderly man in the purple robe trembled at his words, but he could only bow in obedience. “Yes, Sect Leader!”
It looked like he would have to abduct people from nearby cities again. What excuse could he use this time?
Demonic beast invasion? Natural disasters?
Just as he was pondering to himself, the ground suddenly began to quake beneath him and an ear-splitting bang erupted nearby.
Boom!
Sirens and alarms began to blare like crazy within the Zhai Xing Sect.
“Enemies, there’s an enemy assault!”
“Someone has broken into the sect by force!!”
The Zhai Xing Sect’s disciples rushed out with their weapons at the ready.
A grim expression appeared on the elderly man’s face. Who would have thought that there would be someone who dared to initiate a frontal assault against the Zhai Xing Sect? Were they tired of living?
“Hmph! Let me see just who it is that’s so eager to die.”
Purple wings materialized behind the elderly man’s back, and he flew toward the source of the commotion.
“Oh? A man and a woman?” The elderly man hung in the air and let out an almighty roar, “Who dares to assault the Zhai Xing Sect, surrender now!”
Whoosh!
A blue light streaked past.
The elderly man in the purple robes was sliced in half, thereby effectively ending his life.
Sword Immortal An Lin and the Moonlight Holy Maiden swept through their opponents like two hot knives through butter.
They were like invincible killing machines who left a path of slaughter and destruction behind them as they worked their way up to the main tower.
Boom!
The spell formation around the main tower was broken, and the two of them walked in as if they were strutting into their own house.
Sect Leader Ling Xiangle sat silently in his chair and surveyed them from afar. His calm expression finally shifted a little after seeing that the two of them were still completely unscathed and not out of breath even after their battles on the way here.
There was an elderly man in a red robe standing beside Ling Xiangle; he was the Grand Elder of the Zhai Xing Sect, Ye Chongshan.
The collective might of two Battle Sages was enough to strike fear into the vast majority of people in the world, but the man and woman before them couldn’t even be bothered to adopt a serious expression.
“Sword Immortal An Lin, Moonlight Holy Maiden, I don’t think the Zhai Xing Sect has wronged you in any way and nor have we ever met before, so why did the two of you come here today?” Ling Xiangle spoke slowly.
Their identities were obvious as they were probably the only duo that dared to invade such a large sect by themselves. However, Ling Xiangle didn’t expect them to be so fearless in the face of two Battle Sages.
An Lin stabbed his sword into the ground and replied with a clear voice, “You haven’t wronged us before, that’s true, but the Zhai Xing Sect takes in over a hundred thousand disciples every year, all of whom are doomed to never return. This trend has only been exacerbated in the past two years… I decided to visit the Zhai Xing Sect to have a look but there are only about a thousand disciples. Where’s everyone else? I’m starting to feel quite concerned…”
Ye Chongshan narrowed his eyes, and a mountainous aura swept toward An Lin and Su Qianyun as he roared in a thunderous voice, “Are you sure you want to stick your nose in such business?!”
An Lin seemed completely unperturbed as he replied calmly, “I’m the ambassador of justice, I’m the Sword Immortal that does God’s work! I stand against all manners of injustice! Why can’t I meddle in your business here?!”
Ling Xiangle’s lips twitched. “Holy f*ck, what a nutjob!”
Ye Chongshan: “… I think we should just kill them.”
Boom!
He unleashed his aura without reservation all around him in tumbling waves, causing ripples to appear in the very space around them.
An Lin stood together with Su Qianyun, and the two of them also unleashed their powerful auras.
Gale-force winds swept up all around them as the two opposing auras clashed, causing the whole tower to tremble and quake in the wake of the explosion of energy.
Thus, an earth-shattering battle ensued within the Zhai Xing Sect.
