Chapter 429: Chapter 428 [The Sword Control Sect Has Come to Kill!]

[Today is August 1st, a new day, a new beginning. Xiao Gou is looking forward to monthly tickets, looking forward to rewards turning red. Can we get an Alliance Hierarch? Thank you, everyone!]

Clang!

Clang!

Two sword-wielding men launched an assassination attempt on Tian Boguang, flashing sword qi infused with great Inner Strength. With one strike, a tree as thick as a bowl was cleaved in half, and another sword strike left a deep ravine on the hard rock surface. It was hard to imagine the deadly effect such powerful sword qi would have on a human body.

Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng wanted to rush up to help Tian Boguang, but he stopped them, forbidding them from intervening. Tian Boguang’s Fast Sword Skill was renowned throughout the world. Despite the sudden appearance of these two men with their profound swordsmanship, they were no match for Tian Boguang.

Splat!

Blood splattered as Tian Boguang, using his Divine Movement Skill, kicked one of the attackers into the air; he then leapt up, and with a flash of his wood-chopping knife, bisected the assailant, who didn’t have the chance to scream before being split in two in midair.

The other attacker, who had launched a stealth attack, was startled and stood atop a nearby tree tip, glaring fiercely at Tian Boguang, but no longer charging forward, as he knew he was no match for Tian Boguang’s strength.

”Tian Boguang, do you know whom you’ve killed?” The remaining attacker, dressed in modern attire and holding a longsword, pointed at Tian Boguang and asked coldly.

”Just a dog from the Sword Control Sect, right? I not only killed that one, but I will also kill you!” Tian Boguang said with a cold smirk at the corner of his mouth.

”Bold words! You know we are from the Sword Control Sect, yet you Tian Boguang dare to take action and kill? It seems you are really tired of living!” The man was taken aback. He hadn’t expected that Tian Boguang, knowing full well the identity of his two assailants from the Sword Control Sect, would still dare to kill them. It appeared Tian Boguang did not take the Sword Control Sect seriously at all.

”Hmph, the Sword Control Sect be damned, Chen Yudao is nothing but a big idiot!” Tian Boguang couldn’t help but curse out loud.

”You... you dare insult my master?” The Sword Control Sect disciple, seeing Tian Boguang insulting his master, Chen Yudao, calling him a big idiot, couldn’t help but tremble with rage, his eyes turning bloodshot as he roared.

”So what if I insulted him? What will you do, come down and kill me? To reclaim your master’s honor? Come on!” Tian Boguang shouted loudly in the end, frightening the Sword Control Sect disciple so much that he nearly turned and fled.

The cultivation level of Tian Boguang was far above that of the two Sword Control Sect disciples. They had come along with Xiao Yuan, splitting up to search for Tian Boguang and at the same time trying to catch Ye Tianchen by surprise to avenge Chen Hui and others, hoping to achieve greater merit. They thought with their combined strength, even if they couldn’t kill Tian Boguang, they could severely wound him. Besides, with the brand of the Sword Control Sect here, they figured that Tian Boguang wouldn’t dare to kill.

Little did they expect that when Tian Boguang began killing disciples, it was like slaughtering pigs and dogs. With swift chops of his woodsman’s knife, his assailant’s body was split in two, blood bursting forth in a gruesome scene. Death came so quickly there wasn’t even time for a scream, indeed shocking him.

”You... you...” The remaining Sword Control Sect disciple, silenced by Tian Boguang’s words, had a flushed face and dared not come down, nor did he know what to say in retort.

”Pah, I, Tian Boguang, despise nothing more than you hypocrites, especially those old geezers from well-known righteous sects, who think they can lord it over others with their age. But in truth, they’re nothing but base and shameless. The way you questioned me just now, wasn’t that to restore your master’s honor? So why don’t you come down and kill me? If you’re too afraid of death, then don’t yelp like a dog before me!” Tian Boguang spat fiercely on the ground as he cursed.

Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng found themselves in a mix of laughter and tears. Tian Boguang was extremely forthright, so much so that his cursing was stark naked, rendering the Sword Control Sect disciple speechless, almost to the point of spitting blood. Tian Boguang’s words were like salt in the wound, his assailant having just seen his fellow disciple halved, instilling in him an extreme fear. But he didn’t dare run away, fearing that Xiao Yuan might not spare him later. Hearing Tian Boguang’s insults towards his master, Chen Yudao, he wanted to roar back but dared not approach. He also feared being killed. Tian Boguang, however, exposed him ruthlessly. A man needs his face as a tree needs its bark; he found no ground to stand on.

”What now? Not coming to kill me? Do you want me, Tian Boguang, to curse your ancestors for eighteen generations? If you haven’t got the guts, then stop acting tough, pretending to be so formidable that no one dares to provoke you. Just try to kill me, Tian Boguang, if you think you can in a few moves!” Tian Boguang wasn’t someone to be trifled with, and he wasn’t rushing to kill this Sword Control Sect disciple, instead goading him with taunts.

”I... I will fight you to the death, you debauchee!”

The remaining disciple of the Sword Control Sect could no longer withstand Tian Boguang’s verbal provocations and bellowed in rage. He dashed down from the treetop in a flash, slicing at Tian Boguang with his sword. Tian Boguang responded with a cold laugh. His Divine Movement Skill was brilliantly executed as he vanished on the spot, appearing in mid-air the next moment. The Sword Control Sect disciple who had charged down hadn’t anticipated that before his sword had even traveled through the air, Tian Boguang was already in front of him, suspended in mid-air.

Pu!

A head soared high into the air as blood sprayed to the skies. Tian Boguang decapitated the Sword Control Sect disciple with a single strike of his chopper. For someone at the early stage of Martial Venerate cultivation, slaughtering these two disciples from the Sword Control Sect, who hadn’t even learned the Sword Energy Skill, was effortless. From beginning to end, he had no intention of having Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng intervene.

”Let’s go, this place isn’t safe to linger in!” Tian Boguang landed and wiped his blood-stained chopper before speaking to Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng.

Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng exchanged glances and nodded understandingly. They realized that if the disciples of the Sword Control Sect had tracked them here, the vicinity could be swarming with the sect’s experts. They were undoubtedly here to hunt down Tian Boguang. Staying any longer would only invite more of the Sword Control Sect’s formidable members.

The Sword Control Sect was a lineage with ancient origins. Although, among the younger generation of disciples, apart from Xiao Yuan, who had reached the late Martial Venerate stage, there was no other formidable figure, every sect has a group of elder-level members accrued over generations. Even if their talent was mediocre, decades or a lifetime of relentless practice meant their cultivation couldn’t be too feeble. And of course, there was the matter of those naturally talented yet cunning old immortals; deploying just one or two of them could spell danger.

”Where do you think you’re going? Killing the disciples of my Sword Control Sect, no one is leaving here alive today!”

Shua!

A shout rang out, and a figure bolted over from not far away with extreme speed—so swift that it resembled lightning. Both Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng were taken aback by this person’s strength, which likely surpassed all three of them.

Bang!

Tian Boguang clashed palms with the man, and was sent flying ten meters away, his right foot stomping down on a large tree to stabilize himself and dissipate the tremendous force. Meanwhile, the sudden assailant staggered back two steps and watched Tian Boguang coldly, glancing at Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng from the corner of his eye.

”Hmph, who do I have here? It turns out to be Xiao Yuan, the most despicable and shameless scoundrel hidden within the Sword Control Sect!” Tian Boguang snorted disdainfully.

Hearing Tian Boguang’s comment, Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng couldn’t help but scrutinize Xiao Yuan. They saw that Xiao Yuan was robust and slightly overweight, with a face that seemed honest and simple, making it difficult for anyone to believe that such a person could be cunning, venomous, and shamelessly deceitful, capable of chilling and frightening schemes. Truly, appearances are deceiving, and it’s hard to judge a heart by its cover.

”Are you Tian Boguang?”

Xiao Yuan furrowed his brows, also surprised. From Tian Boguang’s words, he sensed something. His cover was deep, and the mere fact that Tian Boguang could deduce his identity from just a few words meant that this man knew quite a bit about him. The most likely to know these things was Tian Boguang, notorious as a great lecher and sly detective. Xiao Yuan was no fool; on the contrary, he was extremely astute. The naive and benign image he portrayed was nothing but a façade, as one’s nature has nothing to do with their appearance, which often misleads others.

”Hahahaha, Xiao Yuan, based just on your words, it’s enough to prove how deep and cunning you are,” Tian Boguang laughed heartily. ”How could such a naïve and honest person be so quick on the draw? How did you guess I was Tian Boguang so quickly? You have never seen me before, and yet, you’re already guilt-ridden!”

”Tian Boguang, regardless of how you try to justify yourself, you won’t escape death today!” Xiao Yuan paused for a moment before speaking venomously.

Now, Xiao Yuan was internally shocked. It seemed that Tian Boguang indeed knew quite a bit about him, stirring a murderous intent within. Whether it was to kill Tian Boguang and win the position of Sect Leader, to obtain the Sword Energy Skill, or to prevent Tian Boguang from exposing his schemes and ruining his plans, he had to silence him, ensuring nothing went wrong.

”You won’t be able to kill me, and you won’t obtain the position of Sect Leader of the Sword Control Sect. What I despise the most in my life are vile and malevolent scoundrels like you. I will definitely expose your plot, and when the time comes, Chen Yudao will strike you down with one blow!” Tian Boguang said coldly, with a sneer.

”Really? Tian Boguang, who do you think will believe the words of a thoroughly corrupt man like you? You are merely at the early stage of Martial Venerate, while I have long reached the mid-stage and am about to advance to the late stage. Killing you will hardly take any effort, and this day next year will mark the anniversary of your death!” At this moment, the formerly simple and naive looking Xiao Yuan’s expression twisted ferociously, his face contorted with a vicious grin that exposed his true character, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor.
