Chapter 186 - 134: You Dare! Why Wouldn’t I Dare?

Chapter 186: Chapter 134: You Dare! Why Wouldn’t I Dare?

Although those Saint Sons and Saintesses did not speak, the shifting emotions in their eyes betrayed them.

Compared to the countless disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect, these Saint Sons and Saintesses were relatively calm. The geniuses witnessing this scene had already erupted into chaos.

"Good heavens, what am I looking at?"

"So many senior brothers and sisters couldn’t even block a single sword strike from this guy?"

"This can’t be real. How can anyone in this world be so strong? Those are all the cream of the crop in our Celestial Sword Sect!"

"It’s not real... it’s just not real! They are all Cultivators who just entered the Mortal Transformation Realm. Even if there’s a gap in power, it shouldn’t be this massive!"

"How did he do it? How could such a person even be born into this world?"

"A peerless freak! He’s a peerless freak!"

Countless Celestial Sword Sect disciples looked as though they had seen a ghost. It was as if their very beliefs had crumbled in this instant. What in the world were they witnessing? A youth of their generation was charging through the countless peerless prodigies of the Celestial Sword Sect as if there were no one there at all.

"He’s not just a peerless freak, he’s a once-in-an-eon freak! He... he’s a once-in-an-eon freak!"

The more they sensed the Sword Qi erupting from the youth’s hands, the more shocked many Celestial Sword Sect disciples and Elders became. This was no longer something that could be compared to the ranks of peerless freaks. The strength of that figure far exceeded that level.

"Could he be the youth who was just crowned king in Nanling?"

"He’s Dong Hao! Dong Hao is him! It has to be him! The newly crowned youth king of Nanling is Jiang Hao!"

Finally, a Celestial Sword Sect Cultivator came to their senses, instantly connecting the youth to the crowning anomaly they had witnessed not too long ago. The moment that name was spoken, the aged bodies of countless Celestial Sword Sect Elders trembled slightly.

"A youth crowned king? Jiang Hao? Dong Hao?"

"Oh no, this is bad. This person’s potential is probably even more terrifying than we imagined."

"Kill him! Kill him now!"

RUMBLE!!!

Following the alarmed shouts of the Celestial Sword Sect Elders, the expressions of countless peerless prodigies within the sect drastically changed as they frantically charged toward that figure to strike him down.

At the same time, even the higher-ups of the Celestial Sword Sect situated at the Peak of the Firmament witnessed this astonishing scene. Without hesitation, Saint Cangchen’s decisive voice instantly echoed across the skies above the entire Earth Realm of the Celestial Sword Sect.

"Hear my command, all Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Celestial Sword Sect! Slay Jiang Hao at all costs! Whoever strikes him down shall be granted the right to cultivate at the Sect Headquarters!"

A youth crowned king! He would absolutely not allow such a potential mortal enemy to survive, much less allow him to grow stronger. If a person like this were allowed to develop, he would undoubtedly become a grave threat to the Celestial Sword Sect in the future.

The moment the temptation of cultivating at the Sect Headquarters was dangled in front of them, even the Saint Sons and Saintesses standing proudly at the Spirit Peak Summit trembled. It wasn’t just them; the expressions of the seven figures at the summit of Celestial Sword Peak shifted as well.

"The Sect Headquarters?"

"Kill this man and we can go cultivate at the Sect Headquarters?"

The seven of them exchanged glances. Even though they were the strongest existences in the Eastern Domain Celestial Sword Sect outside of the two figures in the Holy Court—known as the Celestial Sword Seven Sons—not a single one of them had the right to cultivate at the Sect Headquarters. Only those two were qualified to go there.

"Kill him."

In an instant, someone among the Celestial Sword Seven Sons felt tempted and couldn’t help but speak up.

"If the seven of us attack, this man will undoubtedly die. By joining forces, we can all enter the Sect Headquarters."

"There’s no rush. Let’s observe the situation first."

It was evident that none of the seven were reckless individuals. Even though two of them were eager to act, they were immediately restrained by the others beside them.

"He might be even stronger than we imagined. Now isn’t the right time to strike. Let’s wait until those Saint Sons and Saintesses have almost completely exhausted his Power of Transcendence. Then, we will land a fatal blow."

"Senior Brother has great foresight as always. Let’s let him live a little longer."

Their discussion concluded, and the seven remained steadfast. They stood quietly at the summit of the Celestial Sword Sect’s highest peak, silently watching everything unfold.

However, at this moment within the Celestial Sword Sect, countless peerless prodigies had already suffered severe injuries. Some had even been forced to retreat, coughing up mouthfuls of blood uncontrollably. Yet, for as many people who were repelled, even more Cultivators lunged forward.

The temptation of being able to cultivate at the Celestial Sword Sect Headquarters was unimaginably massive. For the countless disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect, going to the Sect Headquarters was a lifelong dream. But relying purely on their own strength to meet that standard was virtually impossible. Now that Master Cangchen had personally promised it, the results were easy to imagine.

The disciples of the entire Celestial Sword Sect seemed to have been driven into a fevered frenzy—they threw their lives away as they charged to slaughter that white-robed figure.

"Brother! Even though you’ve stepped into the Mortal Transformation Realm, you’re just an ordinary Mortal Transformation Cultivator who has achieved one transformation in your eight meridians and spine! Aren’t you just courting death by going?!"

Within a certain Spirit Peak, an ordinary genius of the Celestial Sword Sect who had just entered the Mortal Transformation Realm with one transformation was breathing heavily. Drawing his Magical Artifact, he tried hard to suppress his inner fear. He actually wanted to take to the skies and join the battle, but he was instantly stopped by his sister.

"What do you know? This is an opportunity! It’s our only chance to turn our lives around! If we can go cultivate at the Sect Headquarters, even a piece of trash can become a peerless powerhouse!"

"But Brother, this person isn’t someone we can handle! Even those senior brothers and sisters are no match for him. If you go up there, you won’t even be able to block a single strike!"

"Silly girl, what do you know? We’ll let them do the heavy lifting while we swoop in for the kill. I’m not going to face him head-on; I’ll wait for the right moment to strike.

"No one is invincible. Even the strongest Cultivator will eventually run out of steam. I just need to wait until then and land a single sword strike. At that time, even if I don’t land the killing blow, I’ll still have a chance to go to the Sect Headquarters!"
