Chapter 210: Champion Chu, We Won’t Kill You
In the air, Chu Huaixu: “.”
After exiting the 【Origin Spirit Realm】 today, he clearly felt that Jiang Zhi’s attitude toward him had completely changed.
At the time, he even joked inwardly, “Little Martial Uncle Ancestor, I still prefer your arrogant and unyielding self.”
However, now that Jiang Zhi was truly displaying his arrogance and defiance, Chu Huaixu found it absolutely exasperating!
“Wait, what? Weren’t we just talking about the ‘Heaven-and-Earth Calamity’ and ‘the bigger picture’ a second ago?”
“And now a whole bunch of people are coming to snatch my 【Fragment of Xuanhuang Origin】, and instead of taking things seriously, you suddenly say you won’t use your sword? Are you seriously pretending now?!”
“I’m so done with this!” Chu Huaixu grumbled in his heart.
He composed himself and spoke aloud, “Little Martial Uncle Ancestor, why concede to them!”
“I too wish to witness the grace of the strongest Sword Cultivator in the world!” Dead Fox began spinning his words.
Dead old man, I’ll humor you for now—I'll settle the score later!
Jiang Zhi, however, stood with hands behind his back, gazing at the six figures ahead, and said lightly, “My sword—they are not worthy to witness it.”
Chu Huaixu was grinding his teeth in frustration.
Besides that, he was also a bit puzzled.
“These six major forces, why are they so indulgent toward this so-called 【Deviation】?”
“I just risked my life for the Xuanhuang Realm, and now these six cultivators, from the Seventh and Eighth Realms, come to steal my 【Origin Fragment】?”
“And the six major forces actually allow this?”
Perhaps seeing through Chu Huaixu’s confusion, Chu Yinyin, who stood by his side, began transmitting her voice into his mind.
“Chu Huaixu, you don’t need to be tense,” the Old Girl transmitted.
She continued, “First of all, Little Martial Uncle isn’t wrong—his sword is not something these people deserve to see!”
“Ever since forcibly dropping his cultivation years ago, he’s been nurturing that one sword infused with Heaven and Earth.”
“All these years, he’s been raising that sword, never drawing it again.”
“That sword was never meant for these rogue cultivators!”
Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu had a rough idea of what was going on.
Chu Yinyin then added via voice transmission, “Also, don’t take everything Little Martial Uncle says at face value.”
“He’s just deliberately showing off in front of you, stealing a bit of the spotlight.”
“Right now, he’s probably hoping you’ll become his future grand-disciple.”
“He’s only telling half the truth!”
“These people are indeed here to seize your Origin Fragment, but even if they take it, they’ll still return it.”
“If you just risked your life for the Xuanhuang Realm, and the Four Great Sects even promised you the 【Eastern Continent Token】, only to have you immediately robbed and killed by someone from 【Deviation】—then 【Deviation】 wouldn’t need to exist in this world anymore!”
“The current situation is simply because 【Deviation】 wants a share of the pie, aiming to become the seventh power.”
“But the six major forces—not to mention letting them join the table—they don’t even consider them qualified to sit and talk.”
“Their tacit approval is merely giving these persistent rogue cultivators a chance to challenge our authority.”
Hearing these words helped ease the confusion in Chu Huaixu’s heart.
The six major forces had, over a thousand years, monopolized the later layers of the 【Origin Spirit Realm】.
In other words, the Origin Fragments were allocated internally among their elite.
Rogues like them would never stand a chance.
Even if they wanted to fight their way into the 【Origin Spirit Realm】 and claim a Fragment with their own skill—they weren’t even qualified to enter! They didn’t even get a ticket!
But now, with the Heaven-and-Earth Calamity approaching, all top-tier combatants had to unite under the greater cause.
Rogue cultivators, however, were used to being free and unrestrained. With no sect rules, no master-disciple ties, their ways teetered on the edge of good and evil—these types were everywhere.
And now, they even formed something called 【Deviation】!
Chu Yinyin continued transmitting, “People can’t always teach people—but experiences can. Let these rogues mess around a few more times, and we’ll beat them a few more times—things will be easier afterward.”
Opposite them stood six rogue cultivators—four men and two women.
The leader was a burly man with a full beard, wielding a large axe-halberd.
He declared loudly, “Champion Chu, no need to overthink it!”
“We do indeed want the Origin Fragment, but this one—you earned it. We won’t take it by force!”
“You got it by skill. It belongs to you!”
“We only want to pass it around in hand, so that the Four Great Sects of the Eastern Continent, and the royal family and academy of Moon Country, know that we rogue cultivators also have the right to sit at the table and discuss the Origin Spirit Realm!”
Chu Huaixu, hearing this, more or less understood the situation.
He even suspected that Jiang Zhi insisted on him holding the 【Fragment of Xuanhuang Origin】 in his hand, not letting him store it in his Storage Token, just so these rogue cultivators could drool over it without being able to touch it—and then get mercilessly thrashed!
Every time they exited the Origin Spirit Realm and returned to the sect, they’d allow this kind of “roadblock ambush”—just to dangle the Origin Fragment in front of them and give them a thorough beating!
Jiang Zhi listened to the burly man’s words, still wearing a mocking smile.
“If 【Deviation】 truly wants to prove itself—don’t you think sending only six people is a bit... too few?” he said.
The burly man replied honestly, “【Deviation】 is loose by nature. Everyone’s only gathered for a common cause.”
“Many bailed out the moment they heard Dao Gate’s Little Martial Uncle was personally escorting this time.”
“In the end, only six of us couldn’t let it go.”
Chu Huaixu could hear the subtext in his words.
Clearly, these people all acknowledged Jiang Zhi’s strength!
“And from the Old Girl’s description, both sides probably wouldn’t go for the kill. In the current global context, every death of a high-level cultivator is a loss for the Xuanhuang Realm.”
“They want to prove themselves, and also get disciplined in the process.”
“So, at worst, they’ll just get seriously injured.”
“Judging from this guy, the rest of 【Deviation】 figured there was no point coming. Just these six diehards still think it's worth a beating?”
So just how powerful was this Little Martial Uncle Ancestor of his?
A great battle was about to erupt!
Chu Huaixu didn’t know how many of the six were Eighth Realm or Seventh Realm.
He quietly asked Chu Yinyin beside him. The Old Girl froze for a moment, then squeezed out a response: “That’s actually not important.”
Dead Fox instantly understood—she didn’t know either!
She was just a mere Sixth Realm!
Ordinary Seventh Realm cultivators weren’t even qualified to be here. If they wanted to come at all, they’d have to at least be peak Seventh Realm!
As for the Eighth Realm—forget about it, Chu Yinyin couldn’t even begin to see through that!
She only said through voice transmission: “Anyway, I recognize the one in front. His name is Li Meishan. A few years ago, he was a rogue cultivator at the Sixth Heaven of the Eighth Realm. His current strength is unknown.”
“In 【Deviation】, he’s probably second only to Cheng Yuyan.”
“So strong?” Chu Huaixu was a little surprised.
But thinking about it, it made sense—【Deviation】 wasn’t limited to the Eastern Continent. It was the gathering of the strongest rogue cultivators in the entire Xuanhuang Realm.
Having a few experts was only natural.
At this moment, Jiang Zhi stood with hands behind his back.
The six before him vanished instantly—when they reappeared, they had dispersed into six different positions.
Each of them wielded a unique life-bound magical treasure.
Axe-halberd, shaking blade, spirit sword, pagoda, nine-section whip, and even a calligraphy brush.
Jiang Zhi faced six alone. The moment the fight began, Chu Yinyin instantly grabbed Chu Huaixu and fled far away, trying to fly as far as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Yanked so fiercely by the Old Girl and flung all over the place, Chu Huaixu hadn’t even seen what had happened just now.
He knew nothing of what occurred—he missed the first big moment!
Yet just now, they had all been floating below the sea of clouds.
But now, for a hundred miles around—there was not a cloud in sight!
The entire cloud sea had been blasted apart by the aftermath!
When Chu Huaixu turned to look, he saw that the six from 【Deviation】 had gained a substantial advantage!
Only to witness Jiang Zhi, who pursued Dao through killing, unleashing nothing but lethal moves.
At the very first clash, he had already seized one person’s throat with his right hand, gripping it tightly!
Clearly, 【Deviation】 held a great advantage.
The six rogue cultivators had managed to restrain one of Dao Gate’s Little Martial Uncle’s hands—by sacrificing just one neck!
