Chapter 2364 - Single Stroke Beheading

The Celestial Sword Saint cultivated at the Sword God Mountains. The peak experts from various places banded together and arrived outside the Sword God Mountains.

There was not a single protective formation to be seen in the mountain range, making it seem like anyone could set foot in there.

However, none of the peak experts there dared to enter the boundary of the Sword God Mountains without permission. They all remained outside the Sword God Mountains.

They looked at the depths of the Sword God Mountains as they showed deep fearfulness and dread, along with some temptation to retreat.

However, when they saw that so many other peak experts stood with them, they eased up slightly.

These people did not come here to ask for the person they wanted from the Celestial Sword Saint. They just felt rather regretful and had come to see whether Jian Chen had really become the Celestial Sword Saint’s disciple.

“It shouldn’t be that easy for Jian Chen to become the Celestial Sword Saint’s disciple,” said the hall elder of the God clan, Tyne. She happened to be among the group as well.

Audriana stood beside Tyne.

Audriana stared straight at the Sword God Mountains as she remained silent.

“Completing the Path of Swords is only an opportunity to become the Celestial Sword Saint’s disciple. It guarantees nothing. Jian Chen is a member of the Martial Soul lineage, so it’s unlikely for the Celestial Sword Saint to accept him as his disciple,” said the ancestral emperor of the Daohuang Empire firmly.

“Jian Chen is someone that my master has specifically requested for. It’s best if the Celestial Sword Saint hasn’t accepted him as his disciple,” said Tu San from the Heaven-splitting clan coldly. The Celestial Sword Saint was very powerful, but he had the support of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, so he was extremely confident in facing the Celestial Sword Saint.

Afterwards, Tu San clasped his fist towards the Sword God Mountains and said sternly, “I am Tu San, and I come from the Heaven-splitting clan. Greetings to senior Celestial Sword Saint!” Tu San’s voice was thunderous, booming and echoing through the entire Sword God Mountains.

The peak experts there all held their breaths, looking at the depths of the Sword God Mountains as they waited for a reply from the Celestial Sword Saint.

“I already know why you’ve all come. I’ve allowed Jian Chen to stay on the Sword God Mountains for three years. After those three years, he will leave by himself. He will no longer have any connections with me.” The Celestial Sword Saint’s voice rang out from the depths of the Sword God Mountains. He did not pay any special attention to Tu San. Instead, he announced this information to all the experts gathered there.

Tu San’s expression immediately became rather ugly when he saw how the Celestial Sword Saint had ignored him. After all, he had mentioned the Heaven-splitting clan. His visit this time was not a personal affair; it was under the name of the Heaven-splitting clan.

It was fine if the Celestial Sword Saint ignored him, but he even ignored the Heaven-splitting clan. Tu San found this to be rather humiliating.

The other peak experts all became relieved. They began to discuss with each other secretly.

“It looks like Jian Chen hasn’t become the Celestial Sword Saint’s disciple. The Celestial Sword Saint is letting him stay for three years probably as a reward for completing the Path of Swords...”

“That’s what I was saying. Who do you think the Celestial Sword Saint is? How would it be that easy for Jian Chen to become his disciple...”

“Three years? If that’s the case, I’ll just wait another three years...”

“Elder, what should we do next? Should we discuss with senior Celestial Sword Saint so that he will let us take Jian Chen away after the three years, directly taking him back to the Godnigma Plane through the teleportation formations in the Sword God Mountains?” Audriana also asked secretly.

Tyne shook her head, “With the Celestial Sword Saint’s temperament, it’s unlikely for him to agree. We can only wait here for three years and come up with another idea once Jian Chen emerges from the Sword God Mountains.”

“The problem is that there’s the Heaven-splitting clan, and who knows why the Heaven-splitting clan wants Jian Chen so much. It’ll be troublesome.”

Tyne’s brows furrowed as she seemed slightly worried. She said, “Before our War God completely matures, we can’t declare war on the Heaven-splitting clan. Although the Heaven-splitting Ancestor can’t do anything to us on the Godnigma Plane, we can’t always stay there. We need to go to other places. We won’t be the Heaven-splitting clan’s opponent elsewhere.”

“That’s because our God clan still doesn’t have an expert who can fend off the Heaven-splitting Ancestor.”

“And what is the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng thinking? They should have received news of the Anatta Tower a long time ago, but why have they still not sent someone to retrieve it? If the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng sends someone, all of Jian Chen’s problems will be resolved, including the threat from the Heaven-splitting clan,” Tyne sighed inside. She had no idea what the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng was planning.

Audriana’s heart sank. She had already realised that it would probably become a difficult matter again in three years’ time.

At the same time, all seven members of the Martial Soul lineage gathered on the illusionary Martial Soul Mountain under Hun Zang’s lead in outer space.

“Three years. We still have three years. Chu Jian, Yue Chao, you two return to the Martial Soul Mountain first so that you can prepare. I’ll stay for now and find a chance to meet Jian Chen. After three years, we have to do everything we can to take Jian Chen back to the Martial Soul Mountain. One we’re on the Martial Soul Mountain, probably no one can threaten us unless the Heaven-splitting Ancestor personally takes action,” Hun Zang said to the six other members sternly.

“Then you have to be careful of Yu Chen, just in case he’s scheming something,” Chu Jian warned sternly.

“Don’t worry. Although Yu Chen overwhelms me in terms of cultivation, he’ll definitely be the one who dies in a battle to the death.” Hun Zang was confident.

Tu San’s face became rather sunken outside the Sword God Mountains. “Celestial Sword Saint, Jian Chen is someone my master wants. My master has already grown very impatient from all the years Jian Chen spent hiding. Do you plan on making my master wait another three years?”

Tu San directly brought up the Heaven-splitting Ancestor. He believed that only the Heaven-splitting Ancestor could strike awe in the heart of the Celestial Sword Saint now.

After all, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor was a peak expert on the same level as the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. He was only a step away from Grand Exalt. Tu San refused to believe that the Celestial Sword Saint could stand up to him.

“I don’t want to repeat what I just said. No matter who it is, you won’t be able to take away anything from me in the next three years,” the Celestial Sword Saint replied powerfully. He seemed to be utterly fearless.

The expressions of the peak experts gathered outside the Sword God Mountains all changed when they heard that. They stared at the depths of the Sword God Mountains in surprise.

The Celestial Sword Saint actually did not even respect the Heaven-splitting Sword Saint?

Although the Celestial Sword Saint was known for having things his way and never negotiating, he had gone a little too far this time.

Tu San’s face darkened from anger. He roared out, “Celestial Sword Saint, you better think about the consequences of what you just said.”

The response he received was a flash.

The surroundings suddenly darkened, and an extremely resplendent streak of light shot out from the depths of the Sword God Mountains.

The streak of light moved with unbelievable speed, making distance seem like a completely negligible concept. It arrived in a single instance, sweeping through San Tu.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was fast, far too fast. Even the peak experts there could not react to it. San Tu’s head had already been separated from his body. It was thrown high into the air as blood sprayed out, dyeing the sky red.
