Mundane Saint

Chapter 76 – Supreme Elder steps in!

The gap between the Tribulation Crossing stage and those below it is immense.

Even though Huang Li had just entered the Tribulation Crossing stage a few days ago, he still overwhelmed Zhu Ling, who was at the eighth level of the Body Fusion stage!

Ultimately, it was because cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing stage could harness the power of heaven and earth. Every move resonated faintly with the "rules of the heavenly way," a capability those below this stage lacked.

As long as one could borrow even a sliver of heaven's power, they could stand above all others.

Huang Li was such a person.

Even though his realm was not yet stable and his foundation was vulnerable, Huang Li fearlessly stepped into the Nianling Sect. Why? Because there was no opponent worthy of a good fight, no need to fear.

"Too weak."

Huang Li seemed disappointed, shaking his head.

"Huang Li! How dare you be so arrogant! Do you really think there's no one in the Nianling Sect!?"

An elder stepped forward, knowing the disparity between them, yet he roared in righteous indignation.

"Heh."

Huang Li's lips curled into a smirk. "Your Nianling Sect truly has no one, doesn't it?"

The mountain gate fell into a deathly silence. The many disciples had no retort, their faces pale. Though unwilling, under Huang Li's oppressive presence, such emotions were utterly useless.

Even the sect master had been defeated in one move by this uninvited guest. What could they do?

The elder was momentarily speechless, but then he gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely, "I will fight you to the death! Even if I die, I will not retreat a single step! Our Nianling Sect is not to be bullied!"

"Fight to the death?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Li laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke, "Hahaha!"

Then, his gaze turned vicious, like a venomous snake, staring hard at Xiao Ling. "What are you? Do you think you're worthy of a fight to the death with me? Absolutely ridiculous!"

"Let's see what you've got!"

With that, the elder gathered all his Dao power and summoned an ancient stone tablet fragment, which transformed into a cyan streak of light, charging towards Huang Li with the force of a thunderbolt!

However—

Before it could even approach Huang Li, he frowned, casually flicked his finger, and an invisible killing intent swept out of nowhere, shattering the stone tablet fragment!

"Ugh!"

With his treasure broken, the elder suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his spirit listless.

Yet his eyes remained resolute, once again gathering all his Dao power.

"Hmph!"

Huang Li snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. "Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me."

This guy was too obstinate!

The gap was so evident, yet he still futilely resisted, stirring up the boundless killing intent in Huang Li's heart!

What good could come from stubbornness?

In the next moment, his body trembled, and a vast ocean-like Dao power surged from his limbs and bones. As the Dao power flowed, countless blood-red broadswords materialized, hovering densely around him, exuding extreme sharpness, as if they could strike the disciples at any moment, sending chills down their spines!

"This, this..."

Feeling the terrifying aura of the blood-red broadswords floating around Huang Li, Zhu Ling and the others' faces changed drastically, retreating without daring to linger.

This time, no one could save them!

But just then, Huang Li suddenly sneered contemptuously, waved his right hand, and three blood-red broadswords shot out like lightning, aiming to kill the elder!

The elder dared not stay, attempting to retreat, but he was no match for Huang Li's blade speed. The swords reached the elder, piercing through his body!

"Ah!"

The elder screamed, his body falling backward.

One move, and he was dead.

Zhu Ling and the others' faces twisted in horror.

Yet Huang Li was not done with them, seemingly deciding that since the Nianling Sect had no worthy opponents, he might as well destroy it. He prepared to wave his hand again, ready to unleash dozens of blood-red blades!

Zhu Ling steeled himself, knowing their protective sect array was ready to be activated, but it might not be effective against Huang Li at the Tribulation Crossing stage...

Moreover, Zhu Ling, who was leading the array, was already severely injured!

Was the sect truly doomed to destruction?

Just as the two were in despair, a calm voice suddenly sounded—

"Enough."

As the voice echoed, everyone looked towards its source, seeing a young figure slowly floating over.

It was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Nianling Sect, Xiao Ling!

He had no choice but to step forward.

If he didn't, Huang Li would truly destroy the Nianling Sect's mountain gate and the legacy left by their ancestors!

Though Xiao Ling was only at the half-step Tribulation Crossing stage, Huang Li had only been at the first level of the Tribulation Crossing stage for a few days. Xiao Ling was not without a chance, and the activation of the protective sect array could somewhat bridge the gap.

However, if they fought head-on with Huang Li, the Nianling Sect would be destroyed no matter what.

Especially the thousands of disciples in the sect, they would not survive! The aftermath of a battle between powerful beings could kill them all!

"Supreme Elder..."

Upon recognizing Xiao Ling, Zhu Ling immediately called out.

"Don't worry, I have a way to handle this." Xiao Ling gave Zhu Ling a confident look.

Seeing this, Huang Li's brows lifted with a cold, relieved smile. He took a deep breath, his gaze growing colder. "Hahaha! I knew you wouldn't die so easily!"

"Enough talk."

Xiao Ling coldly stared at him.

"Is your Wasteland Sword Sect declaring war on my Nianling Sect today?"

"So what if it is?"

Huang Li crossed his arms, clearly seeing that Xiao Ling had not reached the Tribulation Crossing stage. Fighting him would mean certain defeat. He also knew the Nianling Sect's mountain gate must have some grand array, just like his Wasteland Sword Sect. Yet Huang Li dared to come alone.

"Do you think today's Nianling Sect is the same as two hundred years ago? You're already finished! My Wasteland Sword Sect is now the largest sect in Withered Cloud Province!"

Huang Li arrogantly declared.

"Boom—"

His Dao power surged, transforming into black dragons coiling around him, making his aura even more terrifying.

Around him, dark clouds erupted, thunder roared, and a storm loomed.

"You..."

Xiao Ling sensed something was wrong.

This aura was overwhelmingly suppressive!

"Indeed, it's the Tribulation Crossing stage."

He had long known that a battle with Huang Li was inevitable, but he hadn't expected this guy to be so impatient, breaking through and not even planning to stabilize his foundation for a month before coming to attack!

"Destroying your Nianling Sect is a trivial matter, no difficulty at all."

Huang Li's tone shifted, grinning viciously. "Not to mention, my Wasteland Sword Sect doesn't even need to send everyone. I alone can handle all of you!"

Xiao Ling had no rebuttal.
