Chapter 415: After Killing, Go Up The Mountain

After drawing his saber, all he had to do was naturally kill.

At the signal of the middle-aged cultivator, several Clearwater Mountain cultivators silently surrounded him. It was not that they were confident they could kill Chen Chao together, but at this point, what else could they do?

Could they really expect the young man in black before them to surrender without a fight?

Chen Chao remained expressionless. As he met one of the cultivators, he swiftly swung his broken saber, and in an instant, the majestic saber light cleaved the man's body in half. In just one exchange, the Clearwater Mountain cultivator was as dead as dead could be.

The remaining few were shocked, clearly not expecting the young martial artist before them to have such formidable combat strength. Faced with their besieging, he could kill someone with just one strike.

But before they could react, Chen Chao had already arrived in front of them. As his saber slashed towards one of the Clearwater Mountain cultivators, the black-clad young man's fist came down, smashing into another's chest.

With a loud bang, the cultivator struck in the chest was sent flying backward, dead as could be.

Meanwhile, after that slash reached the Clearwater Mountain cultivator, a head fell to the ground. Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

At this point, after two saber slashes and one punch, Chen Chao had killed precisely three.

The middle-aged cultivator roared in anger, "A bunch of trash, get out of the way!"

He was not a fool. In an instant, he had already realized that it would be difficult for the disciples he brought to pose any trouble to Chen Chao. Now, if he did not make a move, it was unlikely that he ever could. But would things really go as he wished?

Clearly not.

Tonight, Chen Chao harbored a thought that he had not told anyone - which was to eradicate Clearwater Mountain.

Unlike when he destroyed the Sublime Bright Sect back then, this time, he was going to rely on his saber to completely wipe out the Clearwater Mountain cultivators!

As for why?

There was nothing to explain.

The middle-aged cultivator darted from the second floor towards Chen Chao, but before he could get close to the young martial artist, he saw several more of the Clearwater Mountain cultivators he brought being brutally killed.

This only made the middle-aged cultivator even more enraged. He immediately revolved his qi and struck his palm towards Chen Chao.

Initially, after he struck out with his palm, he thought that Chen Chao would have to dodge first no matter what. But he did not expect that Chen Chao did not dodge or evade, but forcefully withstood the blow. Following the momentum, he moved swiftly and directly killed several scattered cultivators.

For a moment, within the entire Clearwater Pavilion, there were less than ten Clearwater Mountain cultivators who could still stand.

Seeing the young martial artist attack so recklessly, those few cultivators felt their scalps tingle. But at this moment, no one dared to flee. After all, the rules of Clearwater Mountain stated that if fellow sect members were engaged in battle, and they did not fight but flee, it would be death too.

Yet, at this moment, they fervently hoped that their martial uncle could tie Chen Chao down, or at least stall for a while, to allow them to catch their breath.

Chen Chao nodded slowly and did not speak, simply walking past the bookshop.

The shopkeeper sighed and turned to look at the young girl's body, which he had already covered with a white cloth. He felt somewhat hesitant, "Are they really just chance acquaintances?"

Clearwater Mountain was also raining heavily tonight. In the main hall at the mountain peak, a purpled-robed daoist with white hair but a youthful face was sitting in meditation before the statue of the founder of the daoist sect. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the door, causing the candles in front of the statue to flicker.

The purple-robed daoist opened his eyes, suddenly feeling a bit irritated. He stood up and walked to the entrance of the main hall, casually asking, "Has Du Qing returned?"

The two cultivators guarding the entrance exchanged glances, and one of them replied in a low voice, "Reporting to Mountain Lord, Martial Uncle Du has not returned yet."

The purple-robed daoist was naturally the Mountain Lord of Clearwater Mountain, Daoist Sage Tianyi. He was the strongest person on this Clearwater Mountain and the surrounding area of hundreds of miles.

Daoist Sage Tianyi was expressionless. "A good-for-nothing."

Upon hearing the Mountain Lord's anger, the two cultivators immediately knelt down and said in unison, "Mountain Lord, please calm your anger."

Actually, Clearwater Mountain differed greatly from those other cultivator sects on the mountains. Rather than saying that this Mountain Lord was the ancestor of their Clearwater Mountain, it was better to say that this Mountain Lord was the Clearwater Mountain's owner. In his eyes, how was there any disciples or grand-disciples? He just treated them as ordinary lackeys.

Daoist Sage Tianyi said indifferently, "Ge Ming is also a good-for-nothing. It's clearly just refining a high-grade medicinal fruit, yet he chose not to return to the mountain. It serves him right that he died."

Although Daoist Sage Tianyi said so, they all actually knew that if Senior Brother Ge truly brought his medicinal fruit back to the mountain, he might even be directly snatched by this Daoist Sage Tianyi before them. This kind of thing was not unprecedented; there had been precedents long ago. Moreover, the current Daoist Sage Tianyi had been trapped in the Great Beyond for many years. In recent years, he had been extremely anxious, constantly seeking medicinal fruits in hopes of breaking through this realm and stepping into the Nepenthe Realm.

The Great Beyond Realm and the Nepenthe Realm were separated by only a thread, but the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

In fact, the cultivators in the mountain were also happy to see this happen. After all, if their mountain lord became stronger, they would have more confidence when they went outside. After all, what they did went against the natural order of things. If they did not have a powerful cultivator backing them, they would live in constant fear every day.

However, no one would willingly hand over the medicinal fruit they had worked so hard to find to the Mountain Lord.

"But even if he deserves death, for an outsider to dare kill him, it means they don't take me seriously."

Daoist Sage Tianyi looked at the pouring rain, expressionless, and uttered a few words, "Villainous old heavens."

For daoist cultivators, they always respected heaven and earth. It was impossible for them to say such words. However, for Daoist Sage Tianyi, who was an abandoned disciple of Daoism to begin with, he felt that there was nothing great about heaven and earth. Otherwise, he would not have taken such an unorthodox path, cultivating a technique that involved refining medicinal fruits from spiritual herbs and virgin boys and girls, eventually establishing this Clearwater Mountain.

Just as Daoist Sage Tianyi uttered these words, a cultivator came running through the rain towards them. When he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, he knelt down with a thud.

The cultivator spoke tremblingly, "Mountain Lord, someone is trespassing the mountain!"

Daoist Sage Tianyi remained expressionless and said indifferently. "How many people?"

The cultivator hurriedly replied, "Just a young martial artist, wielding a saber. He should be the one who killed Senior Brother Ge Ming."

Daoist Sage Tianyi's expression remained unchanged, and he even smiled, "Coming up the mountain to seek death, how amusing."
