Chapter 2051 - 2052: Seeker of Evil Walks (Part 2)
Chapter 2051: Chapter 2052: Seeker of Evil Walks (Part 2)
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was in shock.
Many people showed expressions of astonishment and confusion.
What does this mean?
Who exactly is this young man in white?
Mu Hongxi’s expression remained unchanged; he merely let out a cold chuckle, "Are you saying that you’re also from the Jian Sect?"
"Of course!" Xue An replied calmly.
Mu Hongxi sneered, "What a joke. You claim to be from the Jian Sect, but as the leading disciple of the sect, I know all the disciples under my charge. Why have I never seen you before?"
"Exactly! You’re just being eloquent!" Feng Ziming mocked with a sneer.
But Xue An’s cold gaze caused him to swallow the rest of his words.
Immediately, Xue An gazed deep into the eyes of Mu Hongxi.
"Since you’re so eager to know, then let me ask you, how many Great Walkers are there under the Jian Sect?"
"There are, of course, eight Great Walkers."
"And who are they?"
"I’m known as Twin Swords Reaching the Sky, followed by my junior sister Jian, then in sequence until the eighth sword apostle. Is there a problem?" Mu Hongxi said with the confidence of someone watching a play unfold.
Xue An laughed, "Very well. Since there are eight Great Walkers, why is it that with you, there are only seven swords?"
"Are you referring to that so-called Evil-Seeking Walker no one has seen? Haha, that’s something that doesn’t exist. I’ve even asked the master about it."
"What did he say?" Xue An asked nonchalantly.
"He said, ’If you consider it existent, then it exists; if not, then it doesn’t!’"
Upon saying this, Mu Hongxi raised his head and looked at Xue An with a cold smile.
"What? Are you going to claim that you are that Evil-Seeking Walker?"
The words were full of sarcasm and ridicule.
Because everyone knew that this was almost impossible.
If this Evil-Seeking Walker actually existed, he would be very old. Even Mu Hongxi, who had been in the sect for hundreds of years, had never seen him, suggesting how long ago he must have joined the Jian Sect.
As for the others, they all shook their heads, believing it absolutely impossible.
Only Jian ZaiXin’s eyes gradually widened.
Because she suddenly remembered what Xue An had said the first time she met him.
The words implied a familiarity with her master.
Could it be...?
As Jian ZaiXin was faintly guessing at something, she saw Xue An smile.
"I’ve always felt that this title is a bit juvenile, but I must admit, you guessed right!"
In an instant, the entire hall was in shock.
Almost everyone’s eyes widened instantly.
What?
This young man is actually the Evil-Seeking Walker that only exists in legends and whom no one has ever seen?
How is this possible?
Mu Hongxi was slightly shaken but then immediately sneered.
"You say you’re him, and that’s it? Where’s the evidence?"
"That’s right, you claim to be the Evil-Seeking Walker, where’s your proof?" Feng Ziming also chimed in.
"Evidence? Alright, then I’ll show you the evidence!"
As the words fell, Xue An suddenly stomped down with one foot.
Boom!
With the tip of his foot as the center, countless sword glows appeared instantly, then slowly revolved around Xue An.
At the same time, the sword tips all pointed at Mu Hongxi, the sword glows flickering uncertainly, with a hint of descending.
This display of sword power shocked many.
And Jian ZaiXin finally confirmed her suspicions and couldn’t help but exclaim.
"It’s the Immortal Venerable!"
It wasn’t just her.
Many others also sensed something peculiar in the Sword Intent that Xue An displayed at this moment.
"It’s the Red Lotus Sword Intent!"
"My god, so he is the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable!"
Exclamations rose one after another, each person showing a look of shock and disbelief.
Because no one expected that the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable, who was currently being hunted by the Emperor’s Palace, Profound Ming Tomb, and various major sects, would appear here, claiming to be the Evil-Seeking Walker of the Jian Sect.
Mu Hongxi also showed a dramatic expression change but soon calmed down and then sneered.
"No wonder the Sword Intent is so overwhelming; turns out it’s the renowned Immortal Venerable! But I still say this: no matter how powerful you are, if you’re not a person of the Jian Sect, you have no right to interfere with our affairs!"
"What’s more, you claim to be the Evil-Seeking Walker; is this your proof?"
Standing amidst the encircling swords, Xue An looked down upon Mu Hongxi with a slow smile on his face.
"I’ve suddenly realized, you obstinate beings! Even at this point, you still aim to conceal yourself?"
"Whether I’m the Evil-Seeking Walker is no longer important; the key is you!"
"Me? What’s wrong with me?" Mu Hongxi replied coldly, but a hint of panic appeared deep in his eyes.
A flash of coldness crossed Xue An’s eyes, "I’ve said before, you are but a fraud with an empty show!"
"And the proof I’m giving is precisely this!"
After speaking, Xue An pointed downward with his hand, stating coldly, "Evil-Seeking Sword, strike!"
Boom!
Countless sword glows poured down like heavy rain.
Under this supreme sword power, the strong became ordinary men, and giants became ants.
Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.
But these sword glows seemed to have a mind of their own, sweeping through the crowd majestically, leaving most people unharmed.
Only a small number of people let out a scream, then were engulfed by the dragon-like torrent of sword glows.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
The Sword Qi gnawed past, leaving behind a forest of white bones.
But this was only the inconspicuous skirmish on the outermost edges, for the real core of the battle was around Mu Hongxi and Feng Ziming.
The sword glows furiously attacked the two, shattering Feng Ziming’s protective Sword Qi in the blink of an eye.
Feng Ziming was scared out of his wits, screaming in a sharp voice, "Master, save me!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Mu Hongxi’s pale face turned an unhealthy flush, and he fiercely yanked.
Feng Ziming was pulled close, temporarily escaping the siege of these Evil-Seeking Sword Qi.
But this was only the beginning.
As the torrent of Sword Qi grew more violent, the attacks intensified.
In merely the blink of an eye, hundreds of layers of Mu Hongxi’s protective Sword Qi had been shattered.
The tremendous consumption caused a deep weariness to appear on Mu Hongxi’s face.
Seeing that he was about to collapse to the ground in exhaustion.
Jian ZaiXin and numerous other disciples of the Jian Sect grew anxious and quickly bowed to Xue An.
"Immortal Venerable, please spare Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother already knows his mistake; he was only thinking for the Jian Sect. Please, Evil-Seeking Venerable, spare him!"
Pleas arose continuously.
But Xue An was unmoved and sneered slightly.
"Senior Brother... haha! Do you really think... he’s still your Senior Brother?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Mu Hongxi, forced by the Evil-Seeking Sword Qi into repeatedly dodging, utterly battered, suddenly raised his head and let out a furious roar, his eyes turning completely red.
Not only that, a layer of black Sword Qi suddenly appeared around him, reflecting his face as hideous and frightening. Then he grabbed onto the nearest Feng Ziming’s shoulder.
Feng Ziming screamed in hysteria, much like a frightened girl, "Master, it’s me..."
But it was too late; Mu Hongxi, as if possessed by a devil, suddenly bit down on Feng Ziming’s throat and began to gulp down large mouthfuls of blood.
