Chapter 155: Chapter 119: Coming Thick and Fast, Celestial Sword Shocking Lei (Two-in-One)_3

He extended a finger, and the sword behind him instantly floated in mid-air, emitting a clear ringing sound. The blade shone with autumn light, clearly a fine sword. ”This sword is called Luofu and can rival that Heavenly Thunder blade. If the Heavenly Sword master comes out to see, agrees to my condition, this sword can be temporarily loaned to him.”

Taoist Longshan remained silent.

The Luofu Sword Venerate’s intentions seemed good, but the manner was somewhat uncomfortable, carrying an implicit condescension. Perhaps because he was ranked twenty-first, he felt he could easily defeat the Heavenly Sword master. This sword lending offer might be because, as fellow swordsmen, he didn’t wish to see a swordsman lose to a bladesman.

Taoist Longshan hesitated a bit.

At this moment, Ning Qi’s voice echoed in his ear, his expression restored to calmness as he bowed: ”Thank you for the kind offer, Luofu Sword Venerate, but unfortunately, I cannot make Senior Tianjian come out to meet.”

The Luofu Sword Venerate’s gaze focused: ”If the Heavenly Sword master loses because of this, then he will be condemned by all swordsmen.”

Taoist Longshan’s brows furrowed: ”Luofu Sword Venerate, you exaggerate. Regardless of win or loss, it has nothing to do with the swordsmen or bladesmen of the world.”

The Luofu Sword Venerate was about to speak when Li Ling couldn’t help but step forward, performing a salute and then said with some indignation: ”Why must you insist like this, Senior Luofu? The Heavenly Sword master doesn’t need your sword, so why force the loan?”

Luofu Sword Venerate was taken aback upon seeing Li Ling: ”Young Prince?”

His expression turned slightly unpleasant, recalling some undesirable memories. Previously, the Town North King had promised him a sword Dao secret treasure to teach Li Ling swordsmanship. Initially, he was full of confidence, yet Li Ling dismissed it unexpectedly.

A figure approached: ”Luofu, let it be. It’s just one challenge, victory or defeat need not be taken so seriously.”

The Town North King had arrived without noticing.

Luofu Sword Venerate was further astonished, unable to comprehend the relationship between True Martial Mountain and the Heavenly Sword master.

He remained silent for a while. After greeting the Town North King, he descended the mountain.

Yet a voice echoed through the breeze: ”Let’s hope the Heavenly Sword master truly has confidence, or else today’s display may earn worldwide ridicule.”

Everyone from True Martial exhibited anger.

Ning Qi remained composed.

Having a sword or not made little difference to him. ...

Time approached gradually.

The day of Thunder Shock Blade Venerate’s challenge drew nearer.

A rumor surfaced within the Martial Realm, claiming Luofu Sword Venerate, ranked twenty-first on the Celestial Being List, went to True Martial Mountain to loan his sword to the Heavenly Sword master but was refused.

This left many puzzled about how to assess the Heavenly Sword master.

It was unclear whether it was due to excessive solitude or overconfidence.

However, one thing was clear to everyone.

If defeated because of this, the Heavenly Sword master’s reputation wouldn’t fare well afterward.

In True Martial City, Luofu Sword Venerate held his sword with a cold smile.

Powerful figures gathered in True Martial City. The true disciples of True Martial Sect strived to maintain order among the True Martial members, unlike the previous Celestial Being Grand Ceremony by Taoist Longshan, which mostly drew experts below the Celestial Human Realm.

This time, experts from the Celestial Human Realm appeared numerous.

They felt immense pressure.

Fortunately.

Such a time didn’t last long.

Half a month vanished in an instant.

All gazes converged.

At an inn.

The Southern Border Saintess wore a black veil, her demeanor slightly ethereal, while the Snake Granny beside her with two strange snakes on her neck, which were nowhere to be seen, appeared like an ordinary old lady. ”Granny, do you think the Heavenly Sword master will appear?” The Southern Border Saintess sipped her tea, her gaze a bit distant.

Snake Granny chuckled: ”If he doesn’t appear, True Martial Sect’s fate today may not turn out well, neither swordsmen nor bladesmen will spare them.” ”It’s nearly time, let’s go watch.”

Southern Border Saintess gently stepped forward, and martial artists around instinctively showed signs of reverence, not knowing why, a feeling of awe emerged from within, instinctively wanting to be further from this lady. The two gradually moved away, heading outside the city.

Around True Martial Mountain, expectant eyes filled the surroundings.

The atmosphere was fervent.

Especially among the swordsmen and bladesmen, the arriving experts were numerous, including several from the Celestial Being List, and even more who were not listed came mostly for observation and learning.

The crowd predominantly consisted of martial artists below the Celestial Human Realm.

Time passed slowly.

The crowd’s gaze grew increasingly anxious.

Then.

A purple light burst through the sky, carrying a trace of raging momentum.

Someone’s spirit trembled: ”Thunder Shock Blade Venerate has arrived!”

Fiery gazes followed, witnessing the purple light halt before True Martial Mountain, revealing its true form.

It was an elder with a purple robe, burly and powerful, eyes sharp and fierce, carrying a treasure blade on his back, surging with mysterious force, inducing chills in some hearts even before being unsheathed. ”Thunder Shock Blade Venerate, formerly ranked thirty-six on the Celestial Being List, once battled the Flood Dragon Monarch at Hundred Rivers Lake without defeat, overcoming numerous experts close to the Celestial Being List level. His blade Dao cultivation is astonishingly profound, combined with the Path of Thunderous it’s unmatched in ferocity.” ”Rumor has it he recently received a Heavenly Thunder Blade gifted by a senior, highly compatible with his path. Perhaps he can truly battle to reclaim his Celestial Being List position!”

Quiet discussions exposed the details of Thunder Shock Blade Venerate.

Thunder Shock Blade Venerate sensed his surroundings, clearly detecting several presences neither weaker nor stronger than his.

He felt somewhat helpless inside.

Originally, he didn’t intend to act, but the allure of the Heavenly Thunder blade was too great, ultimately failing to resist.
