Supreme Sword God

Chapter 725 724: Gathering Information, Old Tian Gets Beaten Up

Outside Jinge City, a thousand miles away.

A group from the True Martial Hall was rapidly advancing.

Leading them were two elders with profound aura at the Dharma Realm, along with the Vice Hall Master of Bright Hall, Su Yun.

At this moment, the two elders suddenly stopped, and the rest of the True Martial Guard also halted.

Su Yun said, "Elders, the Hall Master asked us to wait on the road, saying there are reinforcements coming, but we're almost at Jinge City now..."

One of the elders said, "The Hall Master has deep intentions with this move. Our movements have been exposed all along, and Jinge City must be prepared.

The Celestial Demon Sect is neither too close nor too far from Jinge City.

I imagine Jinge City is already surrounded by a celestial web, set up by the Celestial Demon Sect and the City Lord's Mansion.

With our current force, entering Jinge City would be a sure defeat."

The other elder smiled faintly and said, "Our Hall Master is always strategic. The purpose is not only to lure out the forces of the Celestial Demon Sect, but also to have hidden reinforcements to gradually eliminate the Celestial Demon's power.

Now, the Celestial Demon Sect, Holy Fist Sect, and Situ Clan have joined forces, and directly confronting them would be disadvantageous for us.

Therefore, gradual dismantling is the best choice!

Not only here but several other teams are likely the same, exposing their presence openly and reinforcing secretly.

We don't know who the Hall Master has secretly sent to reinforce us, but logically, they should have arrived by now. Let's patiently wait another half a day."

Su Yun understood this reasoning as well.

Where the True Martial Hall makes a grand attack, there will certainly be the meddling of forces like the Celestial Demon Sect and Holy Fist Sect. If they extend a hand, the True Martial Hall will sever it.

Striking a little here, a little there, this poses a sustained attrition for forces like the Celestial Demon Sect and Holy Fist Sect.

The group waited for half the day, but the hidden reinforcements still did not appear.

Su Yun and the two Dharma elders frowned deeply, wondering if something had gone wrong.

Just then, a hearty laugh echoed.

A blade's light ripped through the space, illuminating everything as Tian Bugui stepped out from the void.

The frowns of Su Yun and the two Dharma elders relaxed.

It turned out... the person the Hall Master arranged for reinforcement was Tian Bugui. It's no wonder he was late; it's typical for unplanned issues to arise with Tian Bugui.

Though Tian Bugui is quite reckless, he is now a genuine Saint Realm powerhouse!

"Hall Master Tian, we finally awaited your arrival." A Dharma Realm elder said with a smile.

Tian Bugui: ???

"You were waiting for me?"

Everyone: "..."

Su Yun asked, "Weren't you coming to find us?"

Tian Bugui scratched the back of his head and said, "I've been wandering near the Celestial Demon Sect recently. I just happened to pass by and saw you here."

The two Dharma elders and Su Yun had strange looks on their faces upon hearing this.

Suddenly, realization dawned on one of the Dharma elders, who laughed and said, "How could we grasp the Hall Master's plans? It seems he predicted Hall Master Tian would meet us here."

Tian Bugui nodded and said, "That old fox Shi Fengchun really knows how to scheme. So, what are you waiting for me to do?"

Su Yun: "To attack Jinge City."

Tian Bugui laughed heartily, saying, "Then let's go!"

The group headed straight for Jinge City at high speed.

When they were still a hundred miles from Jinge City,

suddenly, a black light appeared, rising to the sky.

"Let's go and check it out," Tian Bugui said.

Then, a Dharma elder, along with Su Yun, followed Tian Bugui as they flew towards the place where the black light appeared.

They saw an ordinary-looking man dressed like a farmer, holding a specially made black arrow.

"Greetings, Elder Tian," he said.

Tian Bugui asked, "What's the matter?"

"The Great Guardian asked me to wait here for you and deliver a message."

"Speak."

"The Fourth Guardian has gathered many at the Dharma Realm and Heaven-Reaching Realm to converge on Jinge City and lay down a celestial web with the city's power."

Tian Bugui's eyes sharpened, and he nodded, "Understood. You may leave now."

After the man left,

Su Yun looked at Tian Bugui in surprise.

When did Tian Bugui learn to plant spies within the Celestial Demon Sect?

Tian Bugui didn't notice the peculiar look in Su Yun's eyes and said, "The Fourth Guardian of the Celestial Demon Sect is at the Saint Realm Third Layer, mastering the Ice Law. Although I am at the Saint Realm First Layer, my Light Law is much stronger than the Ice Law. Killing isn't possible, but holding him back is no issue.

The trouble lies in their group of Dharma Realm and Heaven-Reaching Realm followers. Our manpower is insufficient, and once the battle starts, casualties will be inevitable."

The elder from the True Martial Hall pondered for a moment and said, "We haven't come all this way for nothing. We'll launch a surprise attack, Hall Master Tian, restrain the Celestial Demon's Fourth Guardian, and we'll strike at Jinge City's City Lord swiftly. After achieving our goal, we'll retreat immediately."

"To be safe, anyone not at the Heaven-Reaching Realm should not enter Jinge City," Su Yun suggested.

Tian Bugui agreed, "Then let's do it."

Then, Tian Bugui, along with two Dharma elders and Su Yun, plus eight Heaven-Reaching Realm martial artists, traversed the void towards Jinge City.

......

Inside Jinge City.

The scene was chaotic, with a heavy stench of blood lingering in the air.

Mu Qingqing, with Little Phoenix, was happily picking up Storage Rings on the ground.

Ye Chen and Feng Wanli floated calmly in the air.

"You kill quickly!" Feng Wanli looked at Ye Chen and said faintly, a hint of undetectable frustration in his eyes.

Ye Chen grinned and said, "Brother Feng, you're not slow either."

In combat ability, the gap between Ye Chen and Feng Wanli was indeed noticeable.

But when it came to killing weaker opponents, Ye Chen had a variety of methods.

Feng Wanli repeatedly used the same move, Breaking Heaven… Even though his Breaking Heaven had many variations, the methods were still monotonous.

"Brother Feng, are you a Reincarnator?" Ye Chen suddenly changed the topic.

Feng Wanli replied, "No."

"Then what are you?"

"Teacher says I am Feng Wanli."

Ye Chen: "…Brother Feng, is there something you know you can tell me?"

Feng Wanli thought for a moment and said, "Besides the Reincarnators, there are also Parasites."

"What does that mean?"

Taking advantage of Brother Chun's absence, Feng Wanli seemed more talkative, prompting Ye Chen to continue questioning.

"Reincarnators rebirth through reincarnation; Parasites cultivate a cauldron for possession." Feng Wanli paused and continued, "Besides Reincarnators and Parasites, I've heard from my teacher there are also those who Reverse Fate; they alter the course of fate to achieve certain goals."

Ye Chen looked eagerly at Feng Wanli, hoping he'd continue.

But Feng Wanli stopped there.

"That's it?"

"That's it." Feng Wanli said, then suddenly looked up at the sky, "They're coming."

As his words fell,

space shattered.

"Bright Holy Saber Tian Bugui is here, come and meet your fate, you vile ones of Jinge City!"

A loud shout echoed, and brilliant saber light cleaved from the void.

Ye Chen's mouth twitched.

"Breaking Heaven!"

Feng Wanli shouted, launching a spear strike, and the massive spear shadow shattered the saber light.

"Boom!"

With a terrifying explosion, Tian Bugui, who had just burst from the void, was blown away.

Ye Chen looked at Feng Wanli.

Feng Wanli appeared slightly embarrassed, "It seems I missed; my spear accidentally hit his head..."

Ye Chen: "…Luckily, it hit his head; it can't make him any dumber."
