Chapter 244: Wei Hongdao
very helpless about it."So saying this implies that the Divine Martial Continent is doomed once demons come" Shen Xiang clenched his fists. There were many civilians on the Divine Martial Continent!Lu...Chapter 244: Wei Hong刀
Shen Xiang was trying to recruit people, and the four True Martial Gate disciples could see this. However, they thought that Shen Xiang was sending them to the Great Martial Sect. This wasn’t allowed in the Celestial Martial Continent because once you became a disciple of one sect, it was difficult to join another. Even if you left, other sects wouldn’t accept you.
Shen Xiang told them the route, because during his journey here, he had left many signs along the way. Following those signs would lead them quickly to the outermost area, where they could regroup with disciples from other sects.
Shen Xiang still had things to do here. He was only missing the disciples of Lotus Island and Danxiang Peach Garden.
The relationship between Danxiang Peach Garden and Great Martial Sect was good, so Shen Xiang wasn’t worried about being attacked by them. As for Lotus Island, Shen Xiang hadn’t interacted with them before. Although Lotus Island was near the sea, it controlled a vast land and was also a powerful force.
After the True Martial Sect disciples left, Shen Xiang continued to go to all the ambush points he knew and see if he could find disciples from Danxiang Peach Garden or Lotus Island.
As he entered the dark and eerie forest, Shen Xiang felt a bit uncomfortable. There was heavy malevolence in the air mixed with a foul smell, making him feel very disgusted.
Suddenly, red light flashed in the dark forest. Shen Xiang’s back felt cold as he quickly jumped aside, only to see that a deep gully had been cut into the ground right where he was standing. If he had been hit by that slash, he wouldn’t have survived.
That strike had been both swift and powerful, but most importantly, the person who had made it was exceptionally skilled in concealment. If Shen Xiang hadn’t been experienced enough to react instantly, he would have died.
“Haha…” Shen Xiang was startled when he heard a piercing laugh that made his skin crawl.
After landing on the ground, Shen Xiang took out the Green Dragon Demon Slayer Sword and was ready for another attack. A red light flashed towards him, but he swung his massive sword to block the powerful blow that was coming at him.
The attacker wielded a long red sword, which reflected the same red light as its bloodlust. The man who was wielding the sword made Shen Xiang even more surprised. It was a young man with shoulder-length red hair, red eyes, and an eerie appearance.
As the young man suddenly opened his mouth, a long tongue emerged and licked at their red sword, making him look even more horrifying.
Shen Xiang took a few steps back and said coldly, “Who are you” He was sure that the man was a disciple of the Dark Sect and very powerful.
“Tsk, tsk…” The red-haired man shook his head and sneered. “You’re Shen Xiang, the first powerful young genius of Great Martial Sect with a far-reaching reputation. I never thought you would be so ignorant. Don’t tell me that you don’t know who I am!”
Shen Xiang grunted and replied, “I don’t know who you are, but you must be a disciple of the Dark Sect.”
“Well, since you know that, I’ll tell you. I want to make sure you die knowing who your enemy is. However, it looks like my reputation isn’t enough since you don’t know me! I’m Wei Hong刀, from Blood Refinement Sect.”
Shen Xiang frowned. The Blood Refinement Sect was one of the stronger sects among the five Dark Sects, and Wei Hong刀 was someone he had heard of. Like him, Wei Hong刀 was also young, powerful, and talented.
However, compared to reputation, Wei Hong刀 was far worse than Shen Xiang. Moreover, Wei Hong刀 was a real demon who專門 killed civilians and pillaged them.
“Are you here to die” Shen Xiang narrowed his eyes. Killing such a demon could elevate his spirit, allowing him to act without any reservations. He had just entered the True Martial Realm 5th Stage and was worried about finding a place to practice.
The Dark Sect sending such a promising disciple was unexpected for Shen Xiang. The True Martial Realm disciples in the Dark Sect were not many compared to those in the Righteous Sect, and even fewer than those who excelled.
“Mm-hm, you’re clearly a boastful guy. Don’t think that just because you have some fame, you can look down on others! You’re only lucky enough to have the opportunity to do some great things. I’m telling you, don’t think that just because it’s your level, even the 9th Stage of True Martial Sect can’t kill you. I’ll tell you that, even the 9th Stage of Great Martial Sect is no match for me.” Wei Hong刀 roared as he swung his sword at lightning speed, hitting Shen Xiang with a red flash.
Despite being prepared, the speed still posed no problem for Shen Xiang. Keeping his guard up, he swung the Green Dragon Demon Slayer Sword in return, releasing a bright green light that clashed with Wei Hong刀’s red longsword. The impact sent shockwaves and caused the trees around them to instantly crumble.
During this exchange, Wei Hong刀 was shocked by the shocking blow. He suddenly felt his retaliation was pitiful compared to Shen Xiang’s strength, who was much more powerful than he had thought. Rumor had it that Shen Xiang was only at the 2nd Stage of True Martial, relying on mysterious martial arts and a powerful sword to exceed his actual strength by many times, capable of resisting the 5th Stage of True Martial.
Naturally, Shen Xiang’s other identity wasn’t ignored by Wei Hong刀. As a disciple of the Alchemy Sect, Shen Xiang knew that the best丹藥 was for him. Therefore, his energy qi would be denser, and he wouldn’t grow slower.
Shen Xiang looked relaxed. Wei Hong刀 was at the 5th Stage of True Martial, but his energy qi was violent and not dense enough. His explosive power was strong, but he couldn’t last long.
After both of them exchanged blows, they fell silent for a moment before launching another attack. This time, it was Shen Xiang who initiated the move, but Wei Hong刀 countered almost immediately.
The Green Dragon Demon Slayer Sword glowed brightly, releasing a fierce aura as it slashed through the air. It seemed like heaven had been split and earth was being torn apart, as the blade weighed millions of catties and moved like lightning with a thunderous presence.
As he swung the sword, the wind swept away clouds in the sky and fierce winds roared through mountains. This awe-inspiring blow made Wei Hong刀 stunned, suddenly realizing how small his retaliation seemed compared to Shen Xiang’s strength.ation God Liquids and duplicate holy-grade ingredients during this time.
