Eternal Saber

Chapter 469 - 75: The Terrifying Blade

The person who came is Chen Tang!

He’s not dead!

How is that possible?

He actually dared to come to the Capital City?

Xia Yuanxian squinted slightly, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes and quickly disappeared.

If Liu Mengzhen is counted in this room, there are five people on their side.

And they are all geniuses among the younger generation. If they join forces, they are not necessarily afraid of Chen Tang.

But right now, he, Xiao Wuhen, and Liu Yingxiu are all poisoned, their bodies soft and weak, unable to help.

Only Lin Mubai and Liu Mengzhen are left.

Facing Chen Tang and that ’Xiao Ping,’ it was a two-on-two situation, and the outcome was uncertain.

Xia Yuanxian took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and sneered, "I didn’t expect you, Chen Tang, to use such a disgraceful method like poisoning. What kind of hero does that make you?"

"Haha!"

Chen Tang shook his long knife and walked toward Xia Yuanxian, laughing, "Who cares about being a hero, I just want your life!"

Seeing Chen Tang exuding killing intent, Xia Yuanxian was terrified and hurriedly said, "Chen Tang, you crippled my Dantian and have already had your revenge. Why do you want to eradicate me completely?"

Chen Tang said coldly, "Because you’re too dishonest. You invited a Golden Core True Master from the Profound Celestial Sect to kill me... hehe, I’ve already slain him!"

"Impossible!"

Xia Yuanxian exclaimed in his heart, but his face remained calm and unperturbed.

How could a Golden Core True Master fail and be killed by Chen Tang?

Most likely, Chen Tang spoke such astonishing words to disrupt my mind and make me expose a flaw.

"Who is your master?"

Chen Tang stared at Xia Yuanxian and slowly asked.

Xia Yuanxian was startled, but his face remained unchanged, and he said, "I have no master."

Chen Tang expected Xia Yuanxian to deny it and directly said, "Your master is one of the Grand Sacrificial Officers of the Profound Celestial Sect, Empress Yin!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuanxian could no longer contain his shock, and his expression changed drastically!

That day outside the Plum Blossom Sword Sect, after capturing Cyan Pine True Master, Chen Tang forced out a lot of useful information from him.

This person came to kill him solely because he received the order from the Grand Sacrificial Officer Empress Yin of the Profound Celestial Sect.

The Profound Celestial Sect has four Grand Sacrificial Officers, and this Empress Yin Grand Sacrificial Officer is Xia Yuanxian’s master!

However, the identities of the four Grand Sacrificial Officers of the Profound Celestial Sect are extremely mysterious.

Cyan Pine True Master, being a Sacrificial Wine of the Profound Celestial Sect, did not even know the true identities of the four Grand Sacrificial Officers.

Every time the four Grand Sacrificial Officers appear, they wear a bronze mask engraved with special rune markings to distinguish their identities.

Chen Tang knew that Xia Yuanxian’s master was one of the Grand Sacrificial Officers, but did not know the true identity of this Grand Sacrificial Officer.

He left the Plum Blossom Sword Sect and went to Cang Mountain, intending to wipe out a stronghold of the Profound Celestial Sect, but also had another purpose.

That was to come to the Capital and trouble Xia Yuanxian!

An eye for an eye.

After causing such a commotion at Cang Mountain, infiltrating the Capital at this moment was actually the best opportunity!

Xia Yuanxian forced himself to calm down and shook his head, saying, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

"Not admitting won’t spare you!"

Chen Tang’s face showed a fierce light as he prepared to step forward and finish Xia Yuanxian with one strike.

At this moment, the sound of a sword singing rang out.

With a crack!

The round table beside them split into two.

Lin Mubai’s long sword was unsheathed, already standing in front of Xia Yuanxian, staring steadily at Chen Tang, and said slowly, "Chen Tang, if you want to touch Brother Xia, you must first ask my sword!"

Earlier, he had remained silent and watched coldly, trying to delay as much time as possible.

If Xiao Wuhen, Liu Yingxiu, and Xia Yuanxian could expel the poison quickly and recover, their odds of winning would increase significantly.

Besides, this was the Capital City after all.

The longer the delay, the bigger the commotion, the more likely it would attract attention.

Seeing that Chen Tang was about to make a move on Xia Yuanxian, Lin Mubai could no longer stand by and confronted Chen Tang with his sword, almost merging with the sword itself, his sharpness constantly rising.

After all, he was the top of the Wind and Cloud Ranking, having witnessed Chen Tang’s methods and without any fear in his heart.

The two were of similar realm, and Chen Tang did not have the handy Autumn Water Sword with him.

He had also seen many of Chen Tang’s ultimate moves, including the Sound Strike Technique like the ’Lion’s Roar.’

Knowing oneself and the enemy, decreasing him and increasing myself, this was his chance!

"Seems like I have to avenge Xiao Ping."

Liu Mengzhen coldly looked at Ah Li, who was disguised, her heart full of doubts.

This Disguise Technique was enough to pass for real, even she, who lived with Xiao Ping day and night, failed to notice anything amiss.

And such poisoning methods were only mastered by the Hermits of the Dongyi Race.

But how could a Hermit of the Dongyi Race help Chen Tang deal with her?

Liu Yingxiu, expelling the poison while speaking, said, "Brother Lin, as long as you can hold him for a hundred moves, I can neutralize the poison in my body!"

"No problem."

Lin Mubai’s tone was calm, "Chen Tang, we missed the chance to fight at Langya Pavilion. Today is just right, let me show you Lin’s sword!"

"Very well."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "Just so you can see Chen’s blade."

As the words fell, both of them stopped speaking.

The room instantly became silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

The atmosphere seemed to freeze, and time stood still!

Just as Lin Mubai’s momentum reached its peak, he let out a light shout and attacked directly.

One sword thrust out, in an instant, it transformed into hundreds and thousands of sword shadows, dense and indistinguishable from the real, enveloping Chen Tang.

The layers of sword shadows blocked the view.

The sword light and the sound of the sword singing intertwined, affecting Chen Tang’s sight and hearing.

The edge generated by these sword shadows erupted in an all-encompassing oppression, even Chen Tang’s face felt a slight sting!

Not only his sight and hearing, all five senses were limited!

Lin Mubai indeed had the right to be proud.

With just this Thousand Shadows Sword, almost no one in the same rank could withstand it.

Even the onlookers, Xia Yuanxian, Liu Yingxiu, and others, were struck with a feeling of awe at this scene.

The Thousand Shadows Sword, truly lives up to its reputation!

Chen Tang’s figure was already buried under the countless sword shadows.

If they were in his shoes, facing this sword, they would probably have to concede defeat.

Before Chen Tang crippled Xia Yuanxian, he relied on the Profound Sect Flying Sword and Mystic Skill to break this move.

At this moment, a sudden brilliant flash of blade light lit up before everyone’s eyes!

If Lin Mubai’s sword made them feel awe.

Then this flash of blade light made them feel an unprecedented terror!

It was a blade light that defied description.

Just one blade.

In an instant, countless sword shadows disintegrated!

This blade seemed to transcend the limitations of time and space.

It created an illusion in everyone’s minds.

As if everything around was motionless, only this burst of blade light was moving swiftly, beyond time, tearing the void, and piercing into Lin Mubai’s body!

Lin Mubai had unleashed a sword.

Chen Tang returned it with a blade.

Both stood motionlessly, yet victory and defeat were already decided.

There were a few fine sword wounds on Chen Tang’s face, oozing a hint of blood.

Lin Mubai appeared unscathed.

But his eyes showed deep bewilderment and unwillingness, his lips moving, mumbling: "How is this possible, how could it..."

"Forgot to tell you, I’m better with a blade."

Chen Tang cracked a smile.

Poof!

A gushing scarlet bloodwater suddenly erupted from Lin Mubai’s chest, tearing from top to bottom, his clothes soaked in blood.

Lin Mubai’s entire body fell backward, collapsing to the ground without a single movement, dead!
