“Tsk tsk! It seems you know quite a lot. I am a fifth-stage Cultivator, but no one should know that. My human skin mask is flawless, and my Cultivation Technique can conceal my aura, so who can discover it? Oh, you can discover it, but that doesn’t matter, because you’ll both be dead soon!” Hou Tianjie let out a terrifying laugh.
“Qin Chu, be careful. He was once ranked third on the Azure Cloud List, but that was many years ago. Now he is a fifth-stage Cultivator, bloodthirsty and lecherous!” Shang Shuyu warned Qin Chu. She knew that she and Qin Chu were in danger because she couldn’t see through Hou Tianjie’s Realm. It was normal for Hou Tianjie, who had been famous for a long time, to have reached a Realm she couldn’t perceive.
Qin Chu looked at Hou Tianjie, “I know you’re strong, but if you think you’ve got us cornered, you’re gravely mistaken. You absolutely won’t get any good out of this!”
“Your strength is indeed good. Ordinary fourth-stage Cultivators are no match for you, but I am a fifth-stage Heavenly Origin Realm Cultivator, do you understand?” Hou Tianjie looked at Qin Chu with a sneer.
“So what? Try to make a move. Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!” Qin Chu raised his right hand, gripping the Azure Spirit Sword.
“Hou Tianjie, I am a member of the Azure Dragon Holy Clan. Have you considered the consequences if you harm me?” Shang Shuyu revealed her identity. She didn’t want to see Qin Chu clash head-on with the opponent.
Hearing Shang Shuyu’s identity, Hou Tianjie paused, then burst into laughter. “A member of the Azure Dragon Holy Clan, that’s a formidable background, but there’s no one else here. If something happens to you, who will know I did it? You should obediently be my woman first, and I’ll give you a quick death!”
After speaking, Hou Tianjie made his move, swinging his battle saber towards Qin Chu. He wanted to kill Qin Chu first, then slowly deal with Shang Shuyu. He would definitely leave no survivors, as his identity could not be exposed!
As Hou Tianjie attacked, Qin Chu also made his move. After activating the Sword Spirit Realm, the Azure Spirit Sword thrust towards Hou Tianjie’s chest. He ignored Hou Tianjie’s attack, adopting a mutually destructive fighting style. However, his left hand was raised to his chest, confident that he could block Hou Tianjie’s battle saber when it struck him. At most, he would be injured, but not fatally.
Hou Tianjie snorted coldly, swinging his battle saber horizontally to defend, while simultaneously imbuing it with a fierce Saber Intent.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Qin Chu was knocked back, but he wasn’t seriously injured. He possessed a fourth-stage seventh-grade Sword Body, giving him high physical resilience. Furthermore, it was only a clash of weapons, and the energy impact on his body wasn't very strong.
Knocked back, Qin Chu’s Sword Intent erupted. It was a fifth-grade Sword Intent. Hou Tianjie was too strong; he hadn’t had time to unleash his Sword Intent earlier, and during the weapon clash, he was severely impacted by Hou Tianjie’s Saber Intent, his Origin Qi energy suppressed and unable to be released.
“Fifth-grade Sword Intent… It seems you’ve hidden your strength well, but it’s useless. Although I only have fourth-grade Saber Intent, my Realm is sufficient to crush you!” Seeing Qin Chu’s Sword Intent, Hou Tianjie was stunned. He had seen Qin Chu fight in the Saber God Valley’s camp before and thought Qin Chu had fourth-grade Sword Intent, but now Qin Chu displayed fifth-grade Sword Intent, which meant Qin Chu had hidden a lot.
Qin Chu clashed with Hou Tianjie. Hou Tianjie was right; his Realm was enough to crush Qin Chu. However, Qin Chu was at a disadvantage, but he defended steadily as the Azure Spirit Sword moved.
At this moment, Shang Shuyu made her move, but she was blocked by other members of the Saber God Valley and couldn’t assist Qin Chu.
“Take her down, cripple her Cultivation, and break her arms!” Hou Tianjie shouted to the other members of the Saber God Valley. “You all are going to die, Senior Sister, retreat!” Qin Chu’s Sacred Fire Sword Wings erupted, then he shook off Hou Tianjie and charged towards the other members of the Saber God Valley. Shang Shuyu had come in with him, and he couldn’t let her be in danger. Moreover, he was certain that Hou Tianjie was a soulless pervert, and if Shang Shuyu fell into their hands, the consequences would be dire.
Qin Chu, with his Sacred Fire Sword Wings activated, was too fast. The Saber God Valley members couldn’t defend themselves and one was directly killed by Qin Chu. However, Qin Chu’s left arm also suffered a saber cut; he had blocked an attack for Shang Shuyu.
“Ah!” Seeing Qin Chu bleeding, Shang Shuyu was enraged and directly activated her Azure Dragon Sacred Blood.
As the Azure Dragon Sacred Blood was activated, Shang Shuyu’s body became a bit taller, and a Dragon-shaped phantom appeared behind her. Her speed instantly soared, and she directly rushed in front of a Saber God Valley member, thrusting a sword imbued with fifth-grade Sword Intent into the opponent’s chest, killing him instantly.
At this moment, Qin Chu faced Hou Tianjie’s attack again. Hou Tianjie was a fifth-stage Heavenly Origin Realm Middle Stage Cultivator. At this level, he could be a leader of a force in the Southern Flame State, and his combat power was astonishing. However, Qin Chu possessed a powerful physique, coupled with the assistance of the Sacred Fire Sword Wings, allowing him to defend steadily.
And at this time, in the eyes of the other members of the Saber God Valley, Shang Shuyu became an unstoppable Soul Reaper.
With the Azure Dragon Sacred Blood activated and fifth-grade Sword Intent, Shang Shuyu was not someone that ordinary Spirit Origin Realm Cultivators could block. Among the Saber God Valley, only Hou Tianjie had strong combat power; the others were not as good as Lei Lie and others, so they couldn’t withstand Shang Shuyu’s slaughter at all.
This situation made Hou Tianjie realize his miscalculation. One Qin Chu was much stronger than he had estimated; Shang Shuyu was also not an ordinary woman, her combat power was no less than any member on the Azure Cloud List.
Hou Tianjie’s attacks became sharp and brutal. He could only help the other Saber God Valley Disciples if he killed Qin Chu first.
The berserk Hou Tianjie’s combat power was indeed fierce. Qin Chu was constantly suppressed and forced to retreat. Carelessly, he was cut across his left waist by a saber Qi.
Ignoring his wound, Qin Chu used his left hand to unleash the Vermilion Bird Seizing Heaven Hand to deflect Hou Tianjie’s battle saber. Then, his Sword Bone energy erupted, empowering the Azure Spirit Sword, and he thrust it towards Hou Tianjie. With this sword, he unleashed the Startling God Transformation.
As Qin Chu unleashed this sword, Hou Tianjie’s expression changed. The suppressive aura carried by Qin Chu’s sword was too strong, hindering his Origin Qi circulation. It was too late to swing his saber to defend, and he watched helplessly as Qin Chu’s Azure Spirit Sword pierced his chest.
With one sword thrust into Hou Tianjie’s chest, Qin Chu’s Sword Qi erupted, shattering his heart. This sword was one he had waited for a long time, aiming for a single, decisive blow, and fortunately, his goal had been achieved.
After killing Hou Tianjie, Qin Chu’s Sacred Fire Sword Wings vibrated, and he charged towards the remaining members of the Saber God Valley.
Half of the Saber God Valley members had been killed by Shang Shuyu, leaving four. Seeing Hou Tianjie killed, the remaining few turned and fled. However, Qin Chu, with his Sacred Fire Sword Wings activated, had a speed they couldn’t match. After killing the one closest to him, Qin Chu pursued the one who had run the furthest, while Shang Shuyu attacked the other two with her sword; she was also in a berserk state now.
In just a moment, all of them were killed. At this point, Qin Chu reached out and pressed his hand against his waist!
