Chapter 604: Chapter 279: One Sword

The Infinite Sword Sect did not invite the Beixuan Upper Sect, yet now they have arrived uninvited.

Not only that, the number of people who came was more than any other sect, a full seven great powers joined forces and came, almost matching the number of great powers from other sects!

Once the seven people arrived, they showcased the dominance of the Beixuan Upper Sect by directly capturing the True Inheritors and Elders who were welcoming guests at the gate of the Infinite Sword Sect.

At this moment, the great powers from other sects present exchanged glances between the seven from Beixuan Upper Sect and Ning Qi, who was just about to inherit the position of Sect Leader of the Infinite Sword Sect, whispering among themselves.

"To prevent the Sect Leader of another Upper Sect from inheriting their title, this Beixuan Upper Sect is too domineering, isn’t it?"

"They are always domineering, but to come with such a setup, this is no longer just a domineering act; it’s an intention for sect war!"

"Oh my goodness, dispatching three Void Path Realm Perfection great powers, some sects can only bring forth one; what does this Beixuan Upper Sect mean?"

"No matter what they mean, now we have a spectacle to watch. Let’s see how the newly appointed Sect Leader Ning Qi of the Infinite Sword Sect will respond?"

Those True Inheritors previously targeted by the sect’s ancestors mainly cast their gaze towards Ning Qi.

With Ning Qi’s rapid advancement in cultivation and soon reaching the position of Sect Leader, most of them felt an uncontrollable jealousy in their hearts.

Now that the Beixuan Domain’s hegemon is bullying their way in, they shook their heads, seeming to see through everything, and sighed in their hearts:

"Oh Ning Qi, your talent indeed surpasses us, but you should know the principle that the newly emerging is easily broken. At this moment, one careless mistake could cost you your life; what is the use of talent then?"

The ceremony for Sect Leader succession on the plaza abruptly halted.

Jiang Baichuan held the Sword of the Sect in both hands, standing below Ning Qi, raising it before Ning Qi.

Ning Qi temporarily did not accept it.

Though Jiang Baichuan faced away from the newcomers, he was deeply aware of the urgent situation at hand.

For the moment, his heart was both relieved and worried.

Relieved that fortunately he was no longer the Sect Leader, not having to face the enemies directly.

Worried whether the Beixuan Upper Sect would spare no effort targeting the Infinite Sword Sect?

Though Jiang Baichuan had witnessed the battle between the Sword Ancestor and Ning Qi and knew ordinary late-period Void Path Realm figures were certainly not their match, yet the Beixuan Upper Sect’s seven great powers were by no means ordinary.

Ning Qi stood in the central main position of the plaza.

Everyone within the sect looked towards the arriving enemies, faces heavy, yet not a single person showed fear!

Ning Qi slightly lifted his eyes, gazing at those from Beixuan Upper Sect, especially the person who spoke earlier.

He said something about the Infinite Sword Sect’s Sect Leader succession, did he ask their Beixuan Upper Sect?

Ning Qi had done much homework for the succession of the Sect Leader position during this period.

He had understood all the renowned great powers of the Northern and Southern Domains, so naturally, he recognized that person.

The man named Li Daocheng was a Supreme Elder of the Beixuan Upper Sect, with a reputation passed down for ten thousand years in both the Northern and Southern Domains, a contemporary of the Sword Ancestor.

As for the other two Void Path Realm Perfection great powers beside him, one was Zhao Gang, and the other was Chu Risheng, both belonging to the era after the Sword Ancestor.

Ning Qi’s gaze swept over two more late-period Void Path Realm great powers behind the three, holding the necks of the Infinite Sword Sect’s True Inheritor and Elder, lifting them like chickens.

Yet, despite their complexion turning pitch purple, the two showed no sign of yielding!

Li Daocheng glared at Ning Qi, saying, "Ning Qi, you killed the prodigy of my sect, return with me to Beixuan Upper Sect, otherwise, Infinite Sword Sect will be bloodstained today!"

Before Ning Qi responded, the many Elders and True Inheritors of the sect spoke out in unison.

"How dare you, the name of the Sect Leader is not something you can call, if you want to take down the Sect Leader, first step over our corpses!"

Li Daocheng picked his ear, "Where are these flies buzzing around my ear?"

The crowd was furious, had it not been for waiting for the Sect Leader’s order, they would have taken action long ago.

All looked towards Ning Qi, hoping he would immediately give the order, and lead them to repel the enemy.

Ning Qi was about to take the Sword of the Sect from Jiang Baichuan and strike.

Yet suddenly from behind him, came a voice roaring across the plaza, unruly and wild.

"Which mad dog dares to disturb the Infinite Sword Sect’s Sect Leader succession ceremony, shall be slain!"

The sound had just reached, the crowd hadn’t seen who spoke, when suddenly the void between the two confronting sides split open.

And those two late-period Void Path Realm great powers gripping the necks of the Infinite Sword Sect’s True Inheritor and Elder, without reacting, both perished in both form and spirit on the spot.

The crowd was immediately incomparably shocked!

Not only were they astonished, even Li Daocheng and the other two turned back, faces in disbelief.

Now, everyone noticed what had actually eliminated the two late-period Void Path Realm great powers, a phantom Sword Dao Rule emerged in the void, over three hundred feet in length!

"What on earth is that thing?"

Someone among the great powers from the other sects immediately exclaimed in shock.

"Who in the world can apply rules to such a level; coming here today truly broadened my horizons!" someone praised.

Someone, with a fearful expression said, "This sword is too fast, we couldn’t even react; doesn’t that mean if it targeted us, we might instantly perish?"

Someone immediately speculated, "Could it be the Infinite Sword Sect’s heritage is revealed?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately looked towards the voice.

Behind Ning Qi, a figure in wide sleeves walked out from the void, one person but akin to an entire world, making people irresistibly drawn to him.

Among the onlooking great powers, an old Taoist recognized him, exclaiming in disbelief:

"Sword Shocking, it’s you!"

Upon hearing this name, the great powers present were absolutely amazed.

Most of those attending the Infinite Sword Sect’s Sect Leader succession ceremony hailed from these past few thousand years.
