Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3502: The Hope of the Sect

The surroundings completely fell silent. All the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens widened their eyes, gazing at what had happened in the ring in shock. They were all dumbfounded.

The Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder failed to block even a single attack from Jian Chen while wielding a god artifact. He had been killed instantly. Not only did that shock all the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but even sect master Chen Shuzhi and elder Nong Fugui narrowed their eyes.

They had already heard about Jian Chen’s strength in the ring when the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens recruited auxiliaries, but heavily injuring a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal with a single attack was worlds apart from killing a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal in a single attack.

“We won. We actually won. Auxiliary Jian Chen won, and he won so easily.”

“What auxiliary? It’s clearly senior brother. Senior brother Jian Chen is so powerful.”

“He’s too powerful. Senior brother Jian Chen is far too powerful. He killed the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder with a single attack.”

After a moment of silence, the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens erupted with an uproar. All of the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens cheered out excitedly, yelling Jian Chen’s name.

Only with this battle did the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, ranging from the sect master to the regular disciples, truly witness Jian Chen’s strength.

The auxiliaries that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had recruited all gulped. There was a smear of fear in many of their eyes.

Jiang Nan from the Jiang family and Jing Yao from the Black Demon Palace were filled with mixed emotions. Clearly, they only realised now that they had been underestimating Jian Chen’s strength the entire time.

Compared to the jubilation of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, the atmosphere on the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder’s side was visibly heavier. Two of the six Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals that Lang Qi had brought with him had already perished. The four others stood behind Lang Qi with sunken faces.

Lang Qi’s face was very ugly. When he came to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens this time, he had originally planned to viciously humiliate the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and heavily wound their core forces in the process, preventing them from ever raising their heads again.

He had never expected their side to suffer the heaviest losses, losing two disciples consecutively in battle.

Jian Chen remained composed in the ring. He arrived before Yao Yang’s corpse without any hurry and picked up the low quality god artifact sword on the ground, stowing it into his Space Ring without any hesitation.

Originally, with his strength and status, low quality god artifacts could no longer interest him, but he did not dare to be so wasteful anymore after seeing how miserable the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was currently.

In the air, as he watched Jian Chen stow the god artifact away like a spoil of battle, Lang Qi’s eyelid twitched violently. These low quality god artifacts had all been allocated to these disciples by the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. They were a part of the sect’s wealth. The loss of each god artifact was a sizeable loss to them.

Lang Qi was about to rebuke Jian Chen and make him return the god artifact when Jian Chen’s voice rang out.

“Next!” With that, Jian Chen pointed his supreme quality immortal artifact sword towards the four Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. It was extremely provocative behaviour. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovelEnglish.net

The four of them were all uneasy. They all looked at Jian Chen with some sternness.

“Hmph, he’s used a God Tier Immortal Technique instantly, so he must have paid an extremely heavy price. He’s only putting on a tough front right now and barely holding on. Great elder, please let me fight!” One of the disciples requested permission.

Lang Qi nodded. “Go. Do not be careless like Yao Yang.”

“Please don’t worry, great elder. I definitely won’t leave you disappointed, much less the sect.” The Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder cupped his fist before immediately entering the ring.

However, with Yao Yang as an example, this disciple from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder was clearly much more cautious. After entering the ring, he immediately took out his God Tier sword and placed a God Tier pill in his mouth. He was enveloped in Immortal Tier armour as well, such that he seemed extremely vigilant.

“Another god artifact. This is already the third god artifact. The Sword Sect of Startling Thunder sure is cunning.”

Many of the disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens cursed beneath their breath.

“Senior brother Jian Chen, you have to defeat this person from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. You have to leave him black and blue.”

“Senior brother Jian Chen, we’ve already won two matches. As long as we win another match, it’ll be our victory.”

“Senior brother Jian Chen, you are the only hope of the sect right now. You have to put in effort. We all support you.”

“Go senior brother Jian Chen! Go senior brother Jian Chen!”

......

…

As Chen Shuzhi listened to the loud chants from the disciples below, his eyes became even more sunken.

Very soon, the battle in the ring had already begun. Due to the previous example, the disciple from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder chose to strike first. The god artifact sword in his hand shone brightly as he thrust it towards Jian Chen, using his full strength right off the bat without holding back at all. He gave Jian Chen absolutely no time to catch his breath.

But at this moment, the tremendous might of the world appeared. Jian Chen had used a God Tier Immortal Technique instantly again.

“Impossible!” The disciple from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder was stunned. His face was filled with disbelief. He had already struck immediately, yet he still could not stop his opponent from using a God Tier Immortal Technique.

And the part that left him in the most disbelief was the God Tier Immortal Technique had already arrived. His attack that he regarded as lightning-fast could not even approach Jian Chen first.

Boom!

A rumble erupted in the ring. The disciple from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder was knocked far away, rebounding after striking the barrier around the ring. The supreme quality immortal artifact on him had already shattered as a bloody streak ran straight down from his forehead, reaching his chest.

“He won! Senior brother Jian Chen won again!”

“Hahaha, just one attack. It’s just one attack again. Aren’t the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder really impressive? In the end, they could not even withstand a single attack from senior brother Jian Chen.”

The entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens cheered out. Many of the disciples were excited because they had now won three matches. According to their agreement, they had bought a century of time for the sect.

“Killed in a single attack! Jian Chen’s strength is even greater than I imagined!” Nong Fugui sighed in amazement. Soon, he smiled faintly and said, “Fortunately, someone like Jian Chen could stand forward at this critical moment and buy another hundred years for the sect. This is the will of the heavens! Our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is not fated to lose our ancestral land!”

On the other side, Lang Qi shuddered in an undetectable manner. His face was slightly pale. He could tell with a single glance that the third disciple had perished in the ring as well. These six disciples were all the most outstanding prodigies of their sect. They had been nurtured with a vast number of resources, all figures that had chances at becoming Immortal Monarchs in the future.

Yet now, they had lost three of them all of a sudden in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Even as a great elder, it was difficult for him to bear the consequences.

Most importantly, the three victorious matches had earned the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens a hundred years of time. This was completely his suggestion because he had never thought the disciples of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder would lose.

But now, the situation that seemed the most impossible had actually happened. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had managed to win three matches, which left Lang Qi at a temporary loss.

Buy a century of time for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens? That had not been within their ancestor’s considerations at all. On top of that, even with his status in the sect, he could not interject on something so important.

For a moment, Lang Qi felt anything but calm. Even his breathing had become rather hagged.

However, he soon thought of something and sighed inside. “Though, I never said I’d definitely be able to buy a century of time for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. All I said was I would make a plea with the ancestor. He might not necessarily respect my request.” Lang Qi’s lips curled into a mysterious smile.
