Chapter 1120 - The Rise of a New Force

Even outside the Huifeng Ridge, Sword Heart Gang’s reputation was spreading, gradually being seen as another new force that could rival the older forces such as Thousand Kills Gang and Broken Moon Gang. Of course, if they had seen Sword Heart Gang’s previous battles, others would probably give them a better evaluation.

“Are you all alright?” asked Ling Chuxi to Su Yanhua and the others at the bonfire.

“These are just small injuries. They’re not a big deal,” said Zhou Kaitai respectfully as he stood up.

In these three days, they had completely witnessed the strength of Ling Chuxi as well as Ling Yichen, Baili Han, Duan Feiyu, Jiang Wuhen, and Gongxi Kuangdao, and the others’.

It would have been sufficient if only Ling Chuxi was the strong one among them. However, those around her had their own artistic conceptions of Martial Path as well as their own martial techniques. Each of them could have stood by themselves

However, they still decided to remain by Ling Chuxi’s side. This was what Zhou Kaitai admired the most as he looked at Ling Chuxi with fanatical admiration.

“Take these pills first. It will be good for your injuries.” Ling Chuxi took out a bottle of pills and gave it to everyone.

“Thank you, Sect Leader. Thank you.” Zhou Kaitai and the others received the pills happily but did not eat them immediately. Instead, they carefully kept them.

After a few days of practice, they already knew that the pills refined by the sect leader were even better than the ones refined by Su Yizhi and Su Yanhua’s half-baked skills. But their injuries currently were not considered serious, so they did not want to waste them. They would use them when they were seriously injured in the future.

“By the way, Sect Leader, we should be leaving Huifeng Ridge tomorrow. But I have a feeling there are still people around us who wouldn’t let us do so easily. I’m afraid we will have another fierce battle,” said Zhou Kaitai to Ling Chuxi.

“Let them come. When they are reminded of what pain truly feels like, they should be sufficiently convinced to leave us alone,” Ling Chuxi calmly. She had let them go so easily but she was not worried about their plan for revenge. If they dared to come again, she would just beat them up again until they were convinced.

“At their level, we can just easily beat them up again,” said Lan Xinyu indifferently.

“Sect Leader, Senior Sister Lan, although these small forces don’t usually interact and fight with each other, at least not openly, they are willing to join forces against a common enemy. This is how they have been able to survive in Huifeng Ridge for so many years. Even Thousand Kills Gang and the other forces would avoid them.

“One of the reasons for this is because Huifeng Ridge is too barren and did not have any crystals or minerals, thus any forces residing here would be looked down upon. The other is because other forces did not want to bother fighting and suffer any form of losses no matter how small as that would only open up opportunities for other larger forces to take advantage of them when they’ve fallen even minutely weaker.

“With the losses they had suffered this time, especially the defeat that some of the major forces’ leaders had to face in our hands, they would definitely not let us go just like this. If they did, how will they still have the will to hold their head up high in this region in the future? They will definitely come after us, and they’ll definitely come with a united force. We mustn’t be careless,” said Zhou Kaitai.

Hearing his words, everyone fell silent. The arrogance Lan Xinyu had earlier also died off. With their strength, they should have no problem dealing with one or three forces. However, if these forces joined hands, they might actually struggle to hold their ground. They were not hot-blooded to the point of being blindly arrogant.
