Villain: He intercepted the heroine at the beginning, and the protagonists collapsed

269: The leader comes outA group of Seven Star Sect disciples screamed and charged into the Sacred Altar.

Ganging up on someone and still having the audacity to call yourselves the righteous path.

Yet, despite this, none of the elders, guardians, or guards stepped forward to stop them.

Chen Tianming saw this and decided it was time to teach these people a lesson.

So, Chen Tianming raised a hand.

A large golden sword flew out from behind him with a whoosh.

As the golden light flared, countless rays of light transformed into sword shadows.

Chen Tianming channeled his cultivation technique.

The Xuanyuan Sword immediately erupted into thousands of clones.

A Xuanyuan Sword appeared in front of every single sect disciple.

The sharp sword tips pointed directly at their foreheads.

Some of the quick-witted ones reacted immediately upon seeing the longsword.

They stopped in their tracks or tried to block the attack.

But those who were slow to react were truly in for it.

They rammed their heads directly into the blade of the Xuanyuan Sword.

The cultivators all thought they had spiritual energy protecting their bodies, and even if Chen Tianming had some tricks up his sleeve, his ability was at most that of the Qi Refining stage.

As long as they had spiritual energy, even if they were slashed, it wouldn’t be a serious injury.

But they hadn’t expected...

The next second, blood splattered everywhere on the spot.

The sharp Xuanyuan Sword easily pierced through their bodies; many disciples immediately had their heads severed or half their faces sliced off.

Others had their chests pierced or limbs severed, lying on the ground, wailing in pain.

Such a bloody and cruel scene caught the disciples off guard and left the guardians and peak masters stunned on the spot.

After a moment of shock, a guardian standing on the Seven Star Lamp quickly leaped down and arrived in front of the disciples.

He opened his palm, transforming into a gentle breeze that protected all the disciples.

Chen Tianming waved his hand again, and the Xuanyuan Sword immediately flew back into his grasp.

At this moment, the guardian who had saved the disciples couldn’t help but shout loudly.

”You are so vicious!”

Chen Tianming couldn’t help but sneer.

”Hundreds of your Seven Star Sect disciples ganged up on me; is that not considered vicious? I was merely defending myself and did not initiate an attack. They were the idiots who rammed into my sword. And you say I am the vicious one?”

A chorus of curses immediately erupted from the Seven Star Sect disciples.

Chen Tianming couldn’t be bothered to argue with them and spoke in a clear, loud voice.

”My intention was never to cause trouble. Of the three major sects on Tianling Peak, I am only here to kill one person. As long as you step aside immediately and stop acting superior because of your status as cultivators, I naturally won’t make things difficult for you!”

Chen Tianming had already been polite enough.

Otherwise, given his methods, he could have just killed everyone who tried to block his path.

But since he wanted to rule this world, Chen Tianming knew what boundaries he should maintain.

Chen Tianming said he didn’t want to commit unnecessary slaughter, which was essentially giving the Seven Star Sect a chance.

But unexpectedly, the guardian elders, peak masters, and guardians of the Seven Star Sect did not think so.

They exchanged glances, and their thoughts began to communicate.

”This guy is carrying immense treasures and keeps saying he wants to kill Lei Li... You and I both know that Lei Li is the Child of Fortune for the entire Tianling Peak. If Lei Li is killed, our own fortunes will be doomed forever!”

”Why talk so much? The problem now is whether we can beat him. If Lei Li is the Child of Fortune, he should have the ability to deal with this great demon!”

”That makes sense, I agree! I think we should stall for time, send the message out, and quickly call Lei Li out to fight him!”

Exchanging a glance, these scoundrels immediately came up with a sinister plan.

The guardian elder stepped forward and explained to Chen Tianming.

”If that’s the case, then we have all misunderstood you. How about this: we will go and invite the Sect Master, and you two can discuss it in person. If you can reach an agreement, we subordinates will naturally have nothing more to say!”

Chen Tianming immediately sensed a contradiction.

If the relationship between the Sect Master and the elders or guardians could be explained as a superior-subordinate one, then the relationship between the Sect Master and the peak masters was quite different.

When a sect was founded, it certainly had to attract various mountain gates.

These gates were originally the territories of the peak masters.

The Sect Master was equivalent to someone who united several peaks to fight against enemies together; they were equivalent to a Martial Arts Alliance Leader.

As a Martial Arts Alliance Leader, there naturally wasn’t a superior-subordinate relationship with each sect.

Therefore, the Seven Star Sacred Altar guardian elder saying this was indeed a bit evasive.

However, he would cross that bridge when he came to it; even if the Sect Master came, Chen Tianming didn’t care.

No matter how awesome they are, can that Sect Master surpass the Deity Transformation Stage?

So, Chen Tianming said nothing and led everyone present to eat their boxed lunches.

Seeing that Chen Tianming ignored him, the guardian elder hated him in his heart, but he immediately sent people to invite the Sect Master.

Whether to fight or endure would be decided entirely by the Sect Master alone.

Meanwhile.

The news of Chen Tianming attacking Tianling Peak spread throughout the entire fantasy world.

In the small world, everyone from high-ranking officials down to commoners had heard about this matter.

For a time, people who heard the news swarmed in and surrounded the entire Tianling Peak.

But for a while, no one dared to go up and see whether Chen Tianming had won or lost.

In the eyes of many, the outcome of Chen Tianming’s battle also concerned their own survival.

As for the rest of them, they naturally hoped that Chen Tianming would be suppressed or even killed by the sect as soon as he went up.

That way, they could continue to live without worry and freely extort the people’s wealth in the small world.

At this moment, there was finally a bold person in the crowd.

”Everyone, please wait here! I will go up and take a look. If I can come back, I will tell everyone the first-hand news. If I don’t come back, I hope everyone will take care of my elderly parents!”

After speaking, he bowed to those at the foot of the mountain and rushed up.

For a moment, mist swirled, and the figure quickly disappeared.

Among those at the foot of the mountain, the guys who opposed Chen Tianming saw someone being so idiotic, risking his life just to see some news.

They couldn’t help but sneer in their hearts.

But they didn’t expect that those unarmed commoners would be so united.

Some people actually donated money and goods immediately, sending someone back to tell the young man’s parents the news.

By this time, Chen Tianming had already waited for a while, and seeing that the sect master hadn’t arrived quickly, he couldn’t be bothered to waste words with him.

With a wave of his hand, one of the Seven Star Lamps in the center of the Seven Star Sacred Altar suddenly exploded.

The oil in the lamp sprayed out, igniting a raging fire.

Now, all the guards and guardians rushed up.

”Chen Tianming! What are you doing? It takes five hundred years to refine one of our Seven Star Treasures, and this Seven Star Sacred Altar has existed for three thousand five hundred years! And you just smashed it?”

Chen Tianming pointed at the Seven Star Treasure and said.

”The spiritual energy has dissipated; your Seven Star Treasure is just a piece of trash. Who would use this?”

”If you think it’s precious, I’m not afraid to tell you: if your Sect Master doesn’t come out in another hour, I will smash another one of your lamps. If they still don’t come out after another hour, I will turn this Seven Star Sacred Altar upside down!”

As soon as his voice fell, a deep, resonant voice finally came from a thousand miles away.

”Who dares to be so arrogant!”

In the sky, blue heavenly lightning transformed into a swimming dragon and instantly struck the ground. From within the thunder, a person in white emerged.
