Chapter 974
“Boom!”
Upon witnessing Nie Long’s severed head, everyone in attendance was left in shock.
No one could have anticipated just how ruthless and merciless Xiao Chen could be.
One moment, he was greeting people with a warm smile, treating them as allies, and in the next, he was beheading
them.
It was an exceedingly brutal act.
“Brother!”
After a moment of stunned silence, the disciples from the Vajra sect were seething with anger.
However, before they could react, the prepared disciples from the Tianhe Sect had already preemptively attacked
and killed them.
With a cacophony of screams, the majority of the Vajra disciples were quickly felled within the blink of an eye.
The remaining few were surrounded and dispatched by Xiao Chen, rendering them utterly defenseless.
“Eh?”
Observing the ferocity of the Tianhe Sect disciples, those from the Bixia Sect became immediately wary.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDrawing their swords, they positioned themselves to fend off any threat, ready to retaliate.
“Xiao Chen! Your underhanded sneak attack is despicable!”
Shen Chong furrowed his brows and denounced angrily.
After all, the Tianhe Sect was a renowned and reputable sect, and resorting to such devious tactics was truly
reprehensible and shameful.
“Haha… As long as you emerge victorious, the means you employ matter little,” Xiao Chen sneered without a hint
of remorse, his pride evident.
The realm of Jianghu was a place where the strong preyed upon the weak. What did it matter if a few lives were
taken for the sake of treasure?
“The victor writes the rules? Humph! Do you think you are assured of victory? Don’t forget, I’m here!” Shen Chong
retorted sharply.
“You?”
Xiao Chen responded dismissively, “Who do you think you are? How could a disciple from a second-tier sect dare to
shout in my presence?”
“Presumptuous!”
“Dare you disrespect our senior brother? Beware for your life!” The disciples from the Bixia Sect immediately
began to rebuke angrily.
Despite the formidable strength of the Tianhe Sect, they were not pushovers.
Furthermore, with Senior Brother present, he might not be an easy opponent to overcome.
“Xiao! Don’t be too arrogant! If you have the courage, challenge me to a duel and we’ll see how you fare!” Shen
Chong declared sternly.
“A one-on-one challenge? Fine, I’d like to see what you’re capable of,” Xiao Chen raised his fingers disdainfully.
The reason he had launched a sneak attack on Nie Long was out of caution.
As for Shen Chong and his group, he hadn’t paid them any attention whatsoever.
“Make way! I must teach him a lesson today!” Shen Chong’s confidence soared.
“Brother! Xiao Chen is exceptionally strong; don’t act recklessly!” Shen Yao cautioned hurriedly.
“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, he won’t be able to stir up any significant trouble. You just stand aside and watch
the battle. I’ll defeat him within a hundred moves!” Shen Chong oozed confidence.
In group battles, the outcome was uncertain, but when it came to one-on-one combat, he had never feared
anyone.
“Enough talk! Watch my sword!” Xiao Chen dispensed with words and thrust his sword forward.
The speed was incredibly swift, and the angle, cunning, making it challenging to defend against.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Another sneak attack? Shameless!” Shen Chong had already prepared himself, swinging his longsword to meet the
challenge head-on.
A battle between the two was imminent.
Both were innate masters and senior brothers in their respective sects, having access to the best training resources
and inheriting the true teachings of their masters.
The outcome of their battle wasn’t merely about winning or losing; it also reflected upon their sect’s honor and
their own life and death.
Hence, as soon as they engaged, both went all out, with no restraint, attacking each other with lethal intent.
Xiao Chen’s swordplay was swift and fierce, marked by superb technique. Every move and style was unpredictable,
catching his opponent off guard.
Coupled with exceptional agility, he moved like a phantom, elusive and unpredictable.
As for Shen Chong, his swordsmanship was fierce, powerful, and backed by solid fundamentals.
When he swung his longsword, it carried a ferocious energy.
At first glance, it appeared formidable. However, once the initial momentum waned, defeat seemed inevitable.
“Clang, clang, clang…”
Shen Chong attacked relentlessly, his aura growing increasingly violent, and his strikes becoming more ferocious.
On the other hand, Xiao Chen wore a confident smile, easily parrying Shen Chong’s attacks.
It was almost as if he were toying with his opponent, like a cat playing with a mouse.
