Chapter 556: Chapter 555, Sword Sect Visitor_1
Jiang Long looked back at Jiang Chen approaching.
Jiang Long laughed, "Good lad, I knew you were formidable. They all backed off?"
Jiang Chen replied, "Yes, here on the Tundra Continent, everyone wants to conserve their True Qi. No one dares to fight to the death unless it’s an irreconcilable situation."
Jiang Long nodded. "You’re right. It seems that you already have a good understanding of the Tundra Continent. Nobody would kill an enemy unless absolutely necessary, or there’s a deep-seated grudge."
"Many Wanderers fight over food, and generally, they stop at causing minor injuries. Of course, there are those who fight desperately, but they are in the minority."
"True Qi is very important, but life is even more so."
The group hurriedly continued on their way.
They soon hunted down a White Bear Monster.
The group was not in a hurry to return. Instead, they found the place from yesterday, preparing to barbecue in the wilderness. If it weren’t for the temperature dropping at night, they wouldn’t even want to return to the stronghold.
「At dusk.」
The five of them then headed for the stronghold.
Just as the five of them entered the stronghold, a group of about fifteen people approached. They were draped with longswords and wore brown clothes with a single word written on their sleeves: "Sword."
These fifteen were Sword Sect Disciples.
The leader was Hou Hechun, a Sword Sect Disciple who was a fifth-level practitioner and cultivated the Wan Jian Gui Clan’s unique skill.
Jiang Long and his companions looked at each other, puzzled. People from the Sword Sect?
"People from the Sword Sect? Could it be that Jiang Long has had past disputes with them?"
"Who knows? Perhaps he once killed a Sword Sect Disciple, and the Sword Sect found out."
"In the Tundra Continent, who dares to kill a Sword Sect Disciple? They must have a death wish."
"It’s probably not Jiang Long they’re after, but that new recruit."
"The leader is Hou Hechun. He’s prominent among the Sword Sect Disciples and, moreover, an Elder’s disciple with fifth-level strength."
"Hou Hechun? Ranked number 98 among the Five Alliances’ Disciples. A very strong expert. Now Jiang Long and the others are in trouble."
The Wanderers discussed among themselves.
It was easy to recognize the fifteen people wearing Sword Sect uniforms.
On the Tundra Continent, there were not only Disciples of the Five Alliances but also disciples from other sects. These sects, just like the Five Alliances, were gatherings of great masters. The Sword Sect was one of them. There were also the Star Shift Sect, Star Lodging Sect, Dali Sect, and so on.
Jiang Long, gripping the handle of his knife, furrowed his brow in concern. "Gentlemen, what is the meaning of blocking our way?"
Hou Hechun spoke, "We’re not looking for you, but him." He pointed at Jiang Chen.
Just by looking at them, Jiang Chen knew they were Sword Sect Disciples.
As for why they sought trouble with them, it was because Jiang Chen knew the Sword Sect’s Ultimate Skill, Wan Jian Gui Clan. This was the Sword Sect’s unique skill. How could they allow someone not from the Sword Sect to learn it!
Jiang Long’s group looked at Jiang Chen. They were after Jiang Chen?
Jiang Chen smiled. "Gentlemen, are you looking for me for a reason?"
Hou Hechun asked, "First, I want to know, are you a Sword Sect Disciple?"
"No."
"Then you know the Sword Sect’s Ultimate Skill, Wan Jian Gui Clan?"
"Yes."
Hou Hechun was astonished. He hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to admit it. "Since you admit it, come with us back to the Sword Sect. Explain how you acquired Wan Jian Gui Clan’s unique skill and who taught it to you."
Jiang Chen replied with a smile, "Sorry, I’m not interested."
Hou Hechun said coldly, "Hmph, not interested? You have only two choices: come with me, or I’ll sever your hand and leg tendons and carry you away. Wan Jian Gui Clan is the Sword Sect’s unique skill. Since you are not a Sword Sect Disciple, you are not permitted to practice it."
Jiang Chen said, "I have a third option."
Hou Hechun laughed. "Let’s hear it."
"That is to kill you all."
There was silence at the scene.
Jiang Long and the others were astounded. Kill them? But they’re Sword Sect Disciples! Jiang Chen, have you lost your mind?
The Wanderers nearby heard this and were incredulous. Kill Sword Sect Disciples? How dare he?
Jiang Chen said, "This is a stronghold of the Qianren Association. Let’s go outside to fight. Killing here is inappropriate, and I’d like to rest here!"
Jiang Chen turned around and walked towards the exit of the stronghold.
Hou Hechun’s brows furrowed deeply.
"Elder Brother, this man is so arrogant. We must teach him a lesson."
"Who knows where this kid came from, daring to provoke our Sword Sect Disciples like this."
"He knows Wan Jian Gui Clan too? Doesn’t he realize we do as well?"
"Are the fifteen of us really afraid of him?"
The Sword Sect Disciples were angry. He learned their ultimate skill and yet he’s so arrogant.
As Jiang Chen walked out, he thought to himself: It’s just like in ancient times! Stealing Martial Arts is a major taboo indeed! Bai Yun wanted to merge all Martial Arts to create something new. What a pity... Because of sectarian viewpoints, this is impossible. No wonder no second Bai Yun has emerged among the Wanderers; with this kind of narrow-mindedness, it’s hardly surprising... To improve oneself, in addition to enhancing True Qi, one also needs to integrate one’s Martial Arts, whether it’s Wan Jian Gui Clan, Shifting Time and Space, or skills like Huagong Dafa. All these were Strengths understood by predecessors. Why can’t they be merged? Just imagine, after merging Wan Jian Gui Clan with Huagong Dafa! Wouldn’t every Sword Aura be able to corrode the enemy? Wouldn’t each Sword Aura be unique? But thinking about it, it’s not that easy. If it were possible to merge, it probably would have been done already. There wouldn’t have been a wait for Jiang Chen.
THUD THUD THUD...
Hou Hechun and his fifteen followers promptly followed.
Wanderers stood up one after another, walked to the doorway, and watched the showdown between Jiang Chen and the Sword Sect.
Jiang Long’s brows were tightly knitted. "What should we do? Jiang Chen is one of us. Now that he’s being troubled by the Sword Sect, we should join the fight."
"A sect like the Sword Sect is not something we can afford to offend."
"But we can’t just watch as they kill Jiang Chen."
Jiang Hu said, "They won’t kill him. Jiang Chen is very strong."
Jiang Lan nodded. "Jiang Chen is very strong; don’t underestimate him. For now, let’s just watch the fight. If Jiang Chen is no match, it won’t be too late for us to make a move."
The four nodded and followed behind the Wanderers.
This battle also alerted the masters of the Qianren Association stronghold.
「Inside the Inner City.」
"Did you hear? The Sword Sect’s Disciples have come! It seems they are looking for someone who knows Wan Jian Gui Clan. The person is called Jiang Chen, and he’s currently fighting outside the stronghold!"
"Wan Jian Gui Clan’s unique skill is a closely guarded secret. How did an outsider learn it?"
"Who knows? Shall we go have a look?"
"Sure, we have nothing else to do anyway. Let’s go take a look."
Li Xiaolu exclaimed in shock. Wan Jian Gui Clan, Jiang Chen. It’s him...
Li Xiaolu immediately entered her master’s room.
"Nonsense! Even though Jiang Chen saved you, he knows Wan Jian Gui Clan. Stealing the Sword Sect’s Ultimate Skill is a major taboo; it’s an irreconcilable situation! Asking me to protect him would be like making an enemy of the Sword Sect. While the Sword Sect might not compare to our Qianren Association, they are still powerful. Offending the Sword Sect for a young man is unwise. You should stay out of this matter."
Li Xiaolu looked hesitant. "But he saved me."
"I know he saved you, but those are Sword Sect people. You don’t need to concern yourself. If he doesn’t die, just give him some Abnormal Beast meat. There’s no need to offend the Sword Sect."
Li Xiaolu fell silent. Is it not possible?
