Chapter 478: Thousand-Foot-Long Heavenly Blade!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Xiao family, Xiao family! It’s because of the Xiao family again! Without the Xiao family, would the Central Plains Sect Alliance not be the Central Plains Sect Alliance anymore?! And you guys! Why didn’t you all die? Why did you let Zhang Er die instead?”
He Qi glared at them angrily, the Yanling Blade in his hand was emitting a clanging sound!
He Qi had been in the Central Plains Sect Alliance for more than ten years, and he had always diligently cultivated and nurtured his blade intent. These ten years flew by in a day, and he had never slacked off.
However, He Qi would still sigh from time to time.
In the entire Central Plains Sect Alliance, there were more than a hundred core formation cultivators, but the number of people who could fight him could be counted on one hand.
Gongye Yuyu was one of them. Unfortunately, he had a high status, so he disdained fighting with He Qi. Moreover, even if they really fought, he was not Gongye Yuyu’s match.
Of course, He Qi had never thought of fighting Gongye Yuyu. After all, the latter’s path was different from his.
After waiting for more than ten years, he had finally met someone who could fight him. Someone who had given him a sense of brotherhood. In the end, Victor was destroyed in the hands of the Xiao family!
Suddenly, He Qi’s blood began to boil, and his anger began to boil!
“I thought that if I continued nurturing my blade intent and comprehend my fourth saber strike, I would be able to defeat you. Who would’ve thought that I would be separated from you forever? Forget it, I’ll use this saber to send you off!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the qi in He Qi’s body surged, raising gusts of strong wind!
The corners of He Qi’s body fluttered, and his eyes were filled with boundless killing intent. In his hand was the scalding Yanling Blade!
“I have never been able to give this fourth saber strike a good name. Since I am sending you off with this, I will name it Sending Off a Friend.”
After saying this, He Qi leaped and raised the Yanling Blade in his hand high up, then powerfully descended it!
Instantly, in midair, He Qi’s unparalleled saber intent condensed into a three hundred feet long saber spirit swiftly fell, and formed an insurmountable gap in the ground!
After this saber attack, He Qi’s Qi was dispirited, and he was lacking spiritual qi. He seemed to be out of strength to fight.
However, his impact was obvious. Almost half of the demon beasts died under the saber, and were annihilated into powder, not even a corpse was left behind!
Even the Soaring Serpent had almost lost its life under the might of the saber. It was its good friends of many years and its subordinates that had pushed it out of the range of the thousand-foot-long heavenly blade, saving its life
Moreover, the tide of demon beasts had been forcefully suppressed. They did not dare to take another step forward. They were obviously afraid of being killed!
He Qi, who was the cause of the situation, had naturally become a half-crippled person. With the support of Long Yi and the others, he left the battlefield.
At the same time, Victor.
Witnessing the might of He Qi’s blade, Victor could not help but swallow his saliva.
In the beginning, He Qi was immensely dissatisfied with his death that Victor was somewhat happy. Just like how He Qi admired him, he also admired He Qi very much.
However, when he heard that He Qi wanted to use this move to defeat him, Victor was stunned. Was this still a spar? This was clearly He Qi asking for his life!
Fortunately, Victor had made it to the Wailing Mountain in time before He Qi killed the demon beasts. Otherwise, his plan would have been interrupted by He Qi alone.
..
“Not even a bit of spirit energy… Damn it, the spirit consumption is huge…”
After leaving the battlefield, He Qi did not return to the Dark Hall. Instead, he set off to the Blue Luan Hall.
He knocked on the door and was greeted by the maid by Feng Lian’s side.
“May I know why Lord He Qi is here? Shouldn’t lord be doing security work at Wailing Mountain?”
“Where’s the altar master? I want to see her.”
He Qi’s voice was emotionless, and no one could tell what he was feeling.
“Altar master is in closed-door cultivation and is about to break through to the mid-stage of the nascent soul realm. What business does lord have with Lord Altar Master?”
“Zhang Er… has been sacrificed.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the maid’s expression changed.
“Lord He Qi, don’t joke around. We’ve all witnessed Phoenix General’s strength. How could he die just like that? Besides, who did it?”
No wonder the maid had such an expression. Her relationship with Feng Lian was more like that of a sister than a master and a servant. Therefore, she was also aware of Feng Lian’s feelings for Victor. To the maid, Victor’s death was no different from the death of her brother-in-law.
“I’m not joking. A group of unknown demonic beasts came from Wailing Mountain. Their target is the Xiao family. Zhang Er sacrificed himself to stop the three nascent soul cultivators in the lead.”
At this point, He Qi finally revealed a hint of regret.
“Please wait for a moment. I’ll report this to the altar master!”
With that, the maid turned and left.
A moment later, the maid returned with a letter in her hand.
“Lord Feng Lian said that if the Phoenix General dies in battle and you come looking for her, I should pass this letter to you.”
“What did the altar master say?”
“Altar master didn’t say anything, she just wanted me to tell you that you’ll understand everything after you read it.
“However, the altar master’s tone was as if she already knew that Phoenix General would die…”
“I understand.”
Hearing this, He Qi nodded, took the letter, and left.
After returning to the Dark Hall, He Qi sighed lightly and tore open the letter.
His expression became more and more interesting.
Zhang Er was not dead??! He was the one who led the battle today!? Both Altar Master Feng Lian and Gongye Yuyu knew about this!
Also, Zhang Er was actually the Victor that he had been searching for!
This series of blows caused He Qi to suddenly have self-doubt. He forced himself to calm down and get to the bottom of the whole situation.
“So, both Altar Master Feng Lian and Lord Gongye Yuyu knew about Victor’s identity? But… why?”
He Qi really did not understand. As the altar master of the Central Plains Sect Alliance, it was a serious crime to know and not report it. Altar Master Feng Lian and Lord Gongye Yuyu should know better than him!
However, even so, the two of them still chose to hide it…
If there was no ulterior motive within all this, He Qi would definitely not believe it.
“Forget it, I’ve long had the intention to leave the Central Plains Sect Alliance. Victor’s incident can be considered to have added fuel to the fire.”
He Qi did not have much of a sense of belonging to the Central Plains Sect Alliance.
After all, his childhood sweetheart, whom he loved but could not get, drowned because of the Xiao family.
He Qi only found out later that the third-rate sect was founded by a branch of the Xiao family.
Yet now, the Central Plains Sect Alliance actually chose to join hands with the Xiao family, which made He Qi even more dissatisfied.
Therefore, He Qi had long had the intention to leave.
Coincidentally, Victor appeared.
“After this matter is settled, I will leave the Central Plains Sect Alliance.”
As for where to go, He Qi had already thought it through.
Before he defeated Victor, he had decided to stay by Victor’s side.
At the same time, in the Blue Phoenix Hall’s secret room.
Feng Lian sighed lightly, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
“He’s still going to leave…”
Feng Lian suddenly felt a little regretful, she regretted her rejection to Victor’s invitation, regretted agreeing to her foster father’s request.
“As expected, I’m not ready yet…”
After saying that, Feng Lian slowly stood up and threw the medicine that had lost its medicinal properties to the side.. Her eyes were filled with tears, but Feng Lian raised her head, not letting the tears fall.
