Chapter 207 - Powerful Saber

At this moment, in the hall of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, all the elders and disciples were gathered in a dense circle on the square of the hall.

However, no one dared to step foot into the huge and empty square.

On the square, there was only a figure with his hands behind his back and his eyes closed, as if he was resting in peace.

All the disciples of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect stared at him with scarlet eyes that were filled with dense killing intent and a trace of fear.

A moment later, a figure stepped in from outside of the hall. With a step, he instantly arrived and landed on the square.

It was an old man with white hair and beard.

He looked at the handsome young man in front of him, his eyes revealing a complicated expression.

He had admiration for the young man, hatred for the young man, and some helplessness.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed down and said coldly, “Li Liushui, what are you doing here? Why have you returned to our Azure Lotus Sword Sect?”

Li Liushui did not open his eyes and only spat out three words indifferently.

“Waiting for someone.”

“Waiting for someone?”

The Sword Sect’s Sect Master raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately said coldly,

“Even if you are, I don’t think you should wait for someone here, right?”

Li Liushui did not give another response, making the Sword Sect’s sect master feel somewhat helpless.

Although he was an expert at the Supreme Realm and the Li Liushui in front of him was only an Emperor Realm expert, he really did not dare to believe that he could win if they really fought.

Time passed bit by bit. Just as the Sword Sect’s sect master was about to negotiate further, Li Liushui suddenly opened his eyes.

His two eyes opened and seemed to have shot out saber lights, making the Sword Sect’s sect master’s expression instantly change.

“He’s here.”

Everyone looked outside, wanting to see who it was.

The moment Li Changsheng appeared, the expressions of the entire Sword Sect disciples turned from confusion to excitement.

“It’s Changsheng! It’s Changsheng!”

“Changsheng is back!”

The Sword Sect’s Sect Master’s body trembled, and he immediately widened his eyes in disbelief.

However, when that familiar figure really entered his sight, his eyes immediately turned misty.

That was the child he had watched grow up.

The other party was just like his own grandson.

He had once been the pride of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect. The sect master was also very proud of him.

If not for meeting Li Liushui, he would definitely have been glorious in his life. Moreover, just like his father, he would have become the next sect master of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect.

As for the sect master, he could have taken on the position of Grand Elder.

Zhuge Ziqiong, who had followed Li Changsheng and walked over step by step, could not help but be deeply shocked when she saw so many people being emotional because of her senior brother’s return.

It turned out that Fourth Senior Brother had also had so many people who loved him deeply in the past.

No wonder he would rather die than come to the Azure Lotus Sword Sect.

This place was his roots.

Li Changsheng walked over step by step and directly passed Li Liushui. He was not prepared at all.

He knew Li Liushui’s character, just as Li Liushui also knew his character.

The two of them were mortal enemies and knew each other very well.

Li Liushui did not stop him and only waited quietly at the side.

Li Changsheng passed Li Liushui and bowed deeply to the Sword Sect’s sect master.

“Grandpa Lin, it’s been a long time.”

“Good! Good! My good child, you’re finally back.”

The Sword Sect’s sect master hurriedly went forward to help Li Changsheng up. He could sense that Li Changsheng’s current cultivation had already recovered and he was even much stronger than before.

Not only that, but his aura was also very different from before.

In the past, Li Changsheng was arrogant and uninhibited. He was arrogant and looked down on everyone.

However, now, he was gentle and polite.

It was as if an unrestrained youth had already grown into a mature and stable man.

“Grandpa Lin, I’m very sorry to have taken so long to return. Moreover, as soon as I returned, I brought so much trouble to the Azure Lotus Sword Sect.”

The Sword Sect Master shook his head.

“There’s no need to apologize. This is your home anyway. You can come whenever you want.”

Li Changsheng nodded and immediately said, “Grandpa Lin, I might need to borrow this place.”

The Sword Sect’s sect master looked at Li Liushui and said with a solemn expression,

“Are you going to compete with this brat? Don’t worry, I definitely won’t make the same mistake again. With me around, he won’t be able to harm you at all.”

In the past, he had always blamed himself deeply for the sorrow of Li Changsheng and his parents. However, now, he no longer wanted to have such regrets.

Even if he had to risk the reputation of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, he still had to protect Li Changsheng.

However, Li Changsheng shook his head.

“Grandpa Lin, this is my problem. Please let me resolve it myself.”

“No, I can’t let anything happen to you. Your parents have already passed away. If I don’t protect you well, how can I lift my head up in front of your parents in the afterlife?”

Li Changsheng smiled calmly.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa Lin. I’m no longer the old me. I know better than anyone how terrifying Li Liushui is. If I really can’t beat Li Liushui, I guarantee that I won’t push myself.”

Hearing this, the Sword Sect’s sect master’s mind paused, and then he examined Li Changsheng again.

The reason why he did not want Li Changsheng to attack was because he was afraid that Li Changsheng would push himself. If he could not defeat Li Liushui, he would end up being defeated by Li Liushui.

However, at this moment, when he met Li Changsheng’s eyes, he could tell that Li Changsheng was no longer obsessed.

This was because he saw confidence and stability in Li Changsheng’s eyes.

This young man had really changed.

Although he did not know who had changed Li Changsheng or why Li Changsheng could change, at this moment, he felt that Li Changsheng was worthy of his trust.

He looked at Li Liushui not far away and took a deep breath.

“Alright, in that case, I’ll let you fight him. However, if you’re in any danger, I guarantee that I’ll definitely interfere.”

“Thank you, Grandpa Lin.”

Li Changsheng cupped his hands in thanks, but the Sword Sect’s sect master waved his hand.

“Silly child, there’s no need to thank me. I’ll get the others to leave now.”

Then, he immediately ordered everyone to retreat and give up the Azure Lotus Sword Sect’s square for Li Changsheng and Li Liushui to fight.

Soon, only Li Liushui, Li Changsheng, and Zhuge Zuqiong were left.

Li Liushui glanced at Zhuge Ziqiong and could not help but let out a disdainful voice.

“Why? Do you need someone to help you out?”

Li Changsheng was not ashamed at all.

“Li Liushui, you’re a Saber Emperor, best among your generation. Your strength is so powerful. If I don’t find some helpers, how would I dare to fight you?”

Li Liushui raised his eyebrows slightly.

He could sense that Li Changsheng had gone through a huge transformation.

If it were in the past, Li Changsheng would have been too arrogant and would have never allowed such a thing to happen. He only needed to say a few words before Li Changsheng would angrily come over and fight him one-on-one.

Now, even though he had spoken to humiliate him, Li Changsheng only laughed it off.

This brat had grown up.

However, this brat was still somewhat righteous. He knew that too many people from the Azure Lotus Sword Sect would die here. Therefore, he made a good choice by sending the people from the Azure Lotus Sword Sect away.

If he had been shameless and ignored the lives of these people from the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, it would be a different story. If Li Changsheng wanted the entire Azure Lotus Sword Sect to help him attack together, then Li Liushui would really look down on him.

In fact, Li Changsheng also knew very well that the hot shots were not ordinary people. Anyone who encountered the hot shots or became enemies with them would basically not have a good end.

This was the reason why Li Changsheng did not let the Azure Lotus Sword Sect interfere.

In the past, he had already owed the Azure Lotus Sword Sect a lot. He naturally could not let the Azure Lotus Sword Sect suffer any more losses.

Moreover, dealing with Li Liushui was originally a task given to him by his master. Why should he drag others down?

After everyone left, Li Changsheng finally turned his gaze to Li Liushui.

“Let’s begin.”

“Yeah.”

Li Liushui acknowledged softly and only said a single word. He couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath.

The two of them had been enemies for so many years and already knew each other’s background. They did not need to say anything fancy.

After a simple conversation, they directly took out their Martial Monarch Realm weapons.

Without any simple probing or superfluous words, the two of them directly pushed the battle between them to the climax.

In the air, the two of them instantly disappeared. One could only see two lightning bolts flash quickly in the square before constantly colliding.

A second later…

Boom!

An explosion suddenly exploded on the ground and the entire square of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect was destroyed. The rocks two meters deep below all exploded. Even the Saint Realm defensive formation inside was completely unable to resist and was shattered.

“How powerful!”

The people from the Azure Lotus Sword Sect who were watching from afar could not help but exclaim when they saw this scene.

“When did Changsheng become so powerful? What fortuitous encounter did he encounter this time?”

“Isn’t Changsheng holding a Martial Monarch Realm weapon? He even has a Martial Monarch Realm weapon. This child’s luck is really impressive!”

The elders who watched Li Changsheng grow were all excited.

However, the few existences with extremely deep cultivation in the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, including the Sword Sect’s sect master, had extremely solemn expressions.

“Don’t be happy too early. Have you all forgotten how terrifying Li Liushui is?”

“Li Liushui can fight those at a higher level!”

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately trembled. They were suddenly reminded of the strength Li Liushui displayed back then.

At that time, despite only being at the Essence Realm, he had barged into the Azure Lotus Sword Sect with only a saber.

Then, he killed Li Changsheng’s parents, the Sword Sect’s sect master and his wife, who were already Emperor Realm experts back then.
