Chapter 345: 7 Kills Sword Master

Although the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique was quite famous, it was ultimately no match for the powerful Celestial Sword Technique.

"Hah, has the Celestial Sword Sect gotten this arrogant? What, you want to start a fight in front of everyone?" the man from the Snow Sword Sect across from them said.

"Insolent! Your Snow Sword Sect is nothing but a group of traitors from our Celestial Sword Sect. You dare to act so arrogantly before us? Do you think you're worthy?" Bai Han retorted sharply, not holding back at all.

"Heh heh, what a lively argument. Could you all hold on a moment and let me say a few words?" Just then, several people walked in through the door.

The one in the lead was an old man. He looked quite advanced in age, his hair and beard completely white. He wore a purple robe and held a sword in his hand.

Not only was he old, but his appearance was also rather chilling. His skin was shriveled and wrinkled, like the bark of an old tree.

His eyes were especially unsettling—filled with such a sinister aura that a single glance would strike fear into anyone's heart.

Chu Feng carefully gauged the man's strength, and what he felt surprised him slightly.

The old man's power was extraordinary, far stronger than any of the members of the Snow Sword Sect.

He could even project his Divine Soul outward. Although it was only for a short distance—less than a meter—that alone made him stronger than anyone else present.

Among all the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm Cultivators present, Chu Feng had only discovered this old man who possessed such an ability and had reached this level.

He hadn't seen it in anyone else.

'This old man must be near the absolute limit of the current Human Martial Arts Peak,' Chu Feng mused to himself.

From Chu Feng's perspective, the old man's strength was certainly not weak; he was even a bit stronger than the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect.

This just went to show that even within the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm, the disparities in power could be immense.

"Seven Kills Sword Master!" Upon seeing the old man, everyone in the hall bowed respectfully.

"I trust you haven't been waiting long. It seems almost everyone has arrived. This old one is here to make an appearance on behalf of the Seven Kills Sect for this grand ceremony," the old man said with a smile, though his grin was rather unsettling.

"Sword Master, with you here, we can all rest easy. We won't have to worry about the security of the Martial Arts Grand Ceremony," someone hurriedly said with a smile.

"That will require everyone's joint efforts. The pressure on us for this year's Martial Arts Grand Ceremony will be immense. Many old monsters who haven't shown themselves in years will emerge. We twenty-four Venerables of the Martial Arts Peak are not just the judges for this event, but also its guardians."

"There can be absolutely no mistakes. Otherwise, the entire Great Snow Mountain will lose face. If anything goes wrong or seems amiss, I expect you all to act together!"

"Secondly, this business between the Snow Sword Sect and the Celestial Sword Sect ends now. If there's a next time, I will kill without mercy. I'm giving you fair warning. If you still insist on fighting, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The old man's tone was icy, utterly ruthless, and decisive.

At that moment, Chu Feng spoke calmly, "I'm an easygoing person. As long as certain people don't come looking for trouble, I can be perfectly amicable. However, if anyone dares to provoke me, I don't care who they are—they'd better pray for a good outcome. Is everyone clear on that?"

"This fellow cultivator from the Celestial Sword Sect is quite young. With me here, anyone who dares to cause trouble will be executed on the spot," the old man said, his gaze fixed on Chu Feng.

Seeing Chu Feng dare to speak to the Seven Kills Sword Master in such a manner, many of the onlookers were muttering to themselves. 'This guy sure is bold. He has no idea what he's up against.'

Even the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect had to be respectful and couldn't afford to be discourteous in the presence of the Seven Kills Sword Master.

"The same goes for me. Anyone who dares to provoke me, I will kill them without exception," Chu Feng said calmly, deliberately glancing toward the members of the Snow Sword Sect as he spoke.

The Snow Sword Sect had only sent two Human Martial Arts Peak Realm cultivators on this trip; one more remained back at their headquarters.

In truth, across the entire Big Snow Plateau, every sect besides the Celestial Sword Sect had at least three Human Martial Arts Peak Realm cultivators.

Only the Celestial Sword Sect had two, and they were essentially relying on their Sect Leader to hold the line.

If not for their Sect Leader, the Celestial Sword Sect would have likely been expelled from the Great Snow Mountain long ago.

"How arrogant!" Xue Fengjian snapped upon hearing his words.

"Arrogant? Let me tell you something. If you dare to provoke me, I'll twist your head off and kick it around like a ball," Chu Feng said bluntly.

"Hah, Bai Han, is this the kind of person the Celestial Sword Sect produces? So conceited?" Xue Fengjian said to Bai Han.

"Do you take my Celestial Sword Sect for a pushover you can bully whenever you please? Let me tell you, while the Celestial Sword Sect never starts trouble, we are never afraid of it either! If you dare to provoke us, Chu Feng already made it perfectly clear—we'll twist your head right off! Do you really think our sect, with its thousands of years of history, is that easy to bully?" Bai Han shot back, just as uncompromising.

"Heh heh, thousands of years of history? Have you seen how far the Celestial Sword Sect has fallen? It's nothing but a bunch of women now. Across the entire Great Snow Mountain, the Celestial Sword Sect is at the very bottom, and you still have the nerve to boast about your thousands of years of history?" Xue Fengjian sneered.
