Chapter 529: Anyone Passing By Gets a Beating

Someone's voice echoed like thunder across the heavens and earth. "Xu Qingsong from the Great Expansion Dao Gate, come up here and meet your death!"

Xu Qingsong's face turned extremely grim. "We from the Great Expansion Dao Gate have no grievances with you from the Void Immortal Sword Sect. Why have you come looking for trouble?"

"You dared to violate the agreement between Heavenly King Zhen and the Void Immortal Sword Sect. You should rightfully fear death. What's the point of arguing now? If you don't come up, we'll come down," the voice retorted.

Xu Qingsong's eyes flickered. "It was someone else who broke the rules, not me."

"Looks like he's going to play the rogue," someone commented.

"Then let's not waste our words then."

Several figures transformed into swords and instantly surrounded Xu Qingsong. There were men and women alike, their expressions seemed smiling yet not. They emanated a strong sword intent. Even standing there, they gave off an extremely dangerous vibe, like ancient fierce beasts.

Each of them was in the Fusion Realm. While not necessarily at the peak of the Fusion Realm, the abilities of Fusion Realm sword cultivators were something even peak Fusion Realm Immortal Seedlings had to be wary of!

Xu Qingsong's eyes darkened, tinged with a hint of dread. "Are you all trying to find an excuse to break the rules and assist your sect’s abandoned disciple?"

"This brat still wants to smear our name. We sword cultivators have never feared such despicable tactics. You seem to be able to talk a lot of shit now. Let’s see if it stays that way later," said one of them, chuckling.

He raised his hand to strike at Xu Qingsong.

The terrifying sword intent set off alarm bells in Xu Qingsong's mind. He retaliated with a powerful strike of his Divine Whip.

Both of their techniques were extraordinary, causing terrifying shockwaves to erupt immediately, sweeping out like a gale in all directions.

Before their moves could clash, another wave of sword intent attacked Xu Qingsong, followed by a third, a fourth....

Being assaulted from every direction, Xu Qingsong's very soul trembled. "You shameless lot!"

He only managed to let out a loud curse before he was overwhelmed by several subsequent sword intents.

He suffered several horrifying wounds that cut deep enough to expose his bone. If not for his ample spiritual energy, these strikes would have torn him apart!

"Attack together! Unless he kneels down and begs for mercy, we won't stop!"

With a resounding shout, several figures swarmed towards him.

Onlookers watched in dismay as Xu Qingsong, once an Immortal Seedling, was battered mercilessly by several sword cultivators. He continued to accumulate fresh sword wounds with each passing moment.

Meanwhile, other sword cultivators were not idle either.

Someone looked toward the figure from the Immortal Giant Sect and sneered, "Lu Gang, remember a few years ago you were gossiping behind my back, right? Well, here we are today, let's settle this!"

With that, the person attacked directly, slashing a sword toward Lu Gang. Lu Gang defended himself awkwardly while shouting in confusion, "When did I ever speak ill of you!?"

"If I say you did, then you did! Cut the crap!"

"Daoist Qian, what a coincidence to see you here today! I remember your grandfather stole a spiritual herb from my grandfather. Let's settle this score today!"

"Daoist Zhou, you dare show up in front of me again? Didn't I say every time I see you, I'll fight you? Bring it on!"

"Brother Zhao, long time no see. I feel like swinging my sword today. Do you mind if I take a few swings at you?"

"Sister Liu, what brings you here today? Oh? Is that a disciple of yours? Perfect, let's fight!"

The onlookers were stunned as they watched the sword cultivators go berserk, picking fights left and right. In a matter of moments, hundreds of new battlefields emerged, except for where Xu Qingsong was.

The targeted cultivators had no way to defend themselves. They knew the cultivators were truly furious and had no intention of reasoning with anyone.

Just moments ago, someone saw a stray dog passing by get slapped twice, howling in distress before fleeing.

A sword cultivator confronted Gai Hong. "Gai Hong, instead of staying in your Giant Antler Empire, why did you come running back to the Central Continent Empire? Well, don't just stand there idle, let's have a bout today!"

Though the opponent was only in the mid-stage Fusion Realm, Gai Hong had no choice but to reluctantly accept the challenge. He knew that if he didn't fight, he wouldn't be able to leave.

Gai Yunuo felt a bit annoyed and was about to speak when a female sword cultivator appeared before her and attacked without any preamble.

Seeing this, Elder Chen became anxious and instinctively moved to intervene, but was stopped by Su Mo. "If you act, there won't be any wiggle room for you. Do you really want to escalate things between the Heavenly King Zhen Manor and the Void Immortal Sword Sect? These sword cultivators aren't afraid of escalation; the messier it gets, the happier they are."

Su Mo's expression was serious.

Elder Chen was conflicted. In the end, he decided to abandon the idea of intervening. He didn't want to be the cause of a complete rupture between the Heavenly King Zhen Manor and the Void Immortal Sword Sect.

Suddenly, Fairy Yu, who was crouched right beside Fang Chen, heard a voice. "Little Yu, why didn't you listen to me when I asked you to go to the Greenwood Sect?"

Fairy Yu immediately looked over and was pleasantly surprised. "My lord! Are you alright?"

Seeing that Fang Chen's expression had returned to normal and his voice had regained its usual tone, she was overjoyed.

"Yeah, I'm fine for now," replied Fang Chen, nodding lightly.

However, in his eyes, there was still a sliver of fear as he looked at the bloodstains on his sword.

Little Sword's solemn voice sounded, "Little Chen, don't do that again in the future. I can suppress them when they're on me, but if they're on you, I won't be able to influence them."

The voice of the Mirror of the Universe resonated in a rare moment of taking Little Sword's side. "Brother, what the junior said is right. Let's refrain from using such sinister methods in the future. You were nearly possessed."

Fang Chen nodded lightly. "I understand. Unless absolutely necessary, I won't do that again."

He hadn't expected the blood of immortals to possess such eerie abilities, containing remnants of the consciousness of those ancient immortals. Just moments ago, it was as if his soul had been trapped in a cage as he witnessed nine vague figures conversing and arguing. However, he had been unable to discern their appearances.

This indicated that the blood of immortals harbored nine consciousnesses, each possibly belonging to a great being from the Immortal Realm!

Even Fang Chen's formidable soul was immobilized by these nine figures, unable to hear or see what was happening in the outside world.

Fang Chen surveyed his surroundings while asking, "Little Yu, how did I recover just now? Is it related to that senior?"

Although he hadn't been able to see that senior, he had strangely been able to hear his voice clearly.

Fairy Yu quickly explained what happened. She was very grateful to that senior. "If it weren't for that senior, I might have never been able to see you again, my lord."

Fang Chen nodded. "Indeed, that's true. If you have the chance to meet that senior, you should definitely express your gratitude."

However, in his heart, Fang Chen wondered about the origin of the old man. The consciousness within the blood of the immortal unquestionably originated from the Immortal Realm. The fact that the old man could easily suppress them indicated that his abilities were likely at the Tribulation Realm, or even the Ascension Realm!

"My lord, you probably haven't met my senior brothers and sisters yet, have you? Let me introduce you. That's Senior Brother Qin Hucheng, the eldest senior brother of our Extreme Sword Peak. And that's Sister Liu, the eldest sister of the Creation Peak, and there's also..."

𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Fairy Yu was enthusiastic as she introduced them one by one. Fang Chen looked over at each person she introduced, slowly familiarizing himself with many disciples of the Void Immortal Sword Sect.
