Chapter 138: He’s the Sword Sage Senior!

A figure arrived and cleaved through Xiao Yang’s Sword Qi, landing directly between Xiao Yang and Li Fan Yin.

“God of Blade Huang Tian?”

Xiao Yang’s gaze sharpened immediately upon seeing the newcomer behind the mask.

This guy was a formidable master of the Blade Path from Shifang Qimen who had reached the Divine Martial Realm.

He’d seen this person before in the Earth Veins of North Mountain in Yuanlong City.

At that time, he could harness the power of the Taiyin Dragon Pearl to beat up Jiang Qitian, who was wielding the Qingyang Sword, without much effort, so he certainly didn’t think much of God of Blade Huang Tian.

But now, things were different.

He could no longer call upon that power—so potent it could make even Martial Saints tremble.

Now he could only rely on his own strength.

God of Blade Huang Tian was a powerhouse refined in the Divine Martial Realm.

And he was merely at the initial rank of Divine Martial Realm.

If he summoned both of his Ninth Level Spiritual Beasts, he might be able to fight back.

“Se… Senior?”

Just then, as Huang Tian descended with an overpowering aura, he saw Xiao Yang, who was wearing a golden-patterned mask, and was instantly taken aback.

That overwhelming arrogance evaporated in an instant.

“Senior? Uncle Huang, you call him senior?”

Li Fan Yin was flabbergasted upon hearing this.

She had come out of the city specifically to welcome Huang Tian.

Her father was the deputy leader of Shifang Qimen and was on friendly terms with Huang Tian.

After Li Gaitian fled back to Nine Heavens City, he needed to enter seclusion to heal, so he asked Huang Tian to protect him.

It was fortunate he was wearing a mask when he acted in Ghost Mist Gorge; otherwise, if his identity was exposed, there would be no place for him in the Northern Region.

Xiao Yang suddenly realized what was up.

Huang Tian mistook him for that mysterious Sword Sage.

In North Mountain of Yuanlong City, the big shots all thought the masked Xiao Yang was the Sword Sage.

Huang Tian recalled that scene where this Sword Sage utterly pummeled Jiang Qitian in front of everyone, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

On that day, Jiang Qitian was thrashed into a pig head by this Sword Sage in public.

Even though Jiang Qitian wielded the Qingyang Sword, claiming invincibility below the Martial Saints, he didn’t even get a chance to draw his sword in front of this Sword Sage.

If it were him, Huang Tian, wouldn’t he also have no chance to strike?

“Senior, what’s going on here?”

Huang Tian ignored Li Fan Yin.

“Here are the corpses of two remnants of the Demon Sect; handle them. I’m leaving.”

Xiao Yang said as he began to depart.

“Wait, you can’t go; how do you prove they are remnants of the Demon Sect?”

Li Fan Yin shouted loudly to stop Xiao Yang.

“Don’t disrespect the senior; if the senior says these two are remnants of the Demon Sect, then that’s absolutely right.”

Huang Tian snapped angrily.

Li Fan Yin was actually yelling at Xiao Yang?

Huang Tian was immediately terrified.

Good gosh, this guy is someone who dared to turn the proud Jiang Qitian into a pig head!

“Uncle Huang, you can’t believe this sneaky guy!”

Li Fan Yin glared angrily at Xiao Yang.

“Shut your mouth!”

Huang Tian yelled at Li Fan Yin, nearly losing it.

Xiao Yang ignored her and shot straight into the sky, leaving the small valley.

Li Fan Yin was quite unwilling and tried to stop him.

But Huang Tian held her back.

“Niece, do you know who he is?”

Huang Tian wiped some cold sweat off his brow, relaxing his tensed nerves a bit.

“Uncle Huang, why are you so scared of him?”

Li Fan Yin was puzzled.

This masked guy is tough, but not tough enough to make Huang Tian this afraid.

Huang Tian was the God of Blade in their Shifang Qimen!

With a blade in hand, who had he ever feared?

“Ah, he’s the one who appeared in North Mountain of Yuanlong City!”

Huang Tian said, feeling a lingering dread.

“What? He is that mysterious Sword Sage?”

Li Fan Yin gasped in disbelief.

She never dreamed she’d meet the legendary mysterious Sword Sage today.

That’s the Sword Sage!

Realizing this, she broke into a cold sweat.

The Sword Sage must never be offended.

She just disrespected the Sword Sage!

If the Sword Sage wanted to kill her, it would be as easy as pie.

“Fortunately, the senior doesn’t hold it against you, or you wouldn’t have enough lives to spare.”

Huang Tian gazed toward where Xiao Yang had disappeared.

“Uncle Huang, what about these two corpses…”

Li Fan Yin looked at the two headless corpses on the ground, frowning.

Huang Tian pondered for a moment and then pulled out two Thunderfire Bombs from his Universe Ring, tossing them onto the corpses.

Fireballs instantly consumed the bodies.

“Let’s go!”

Huang Tian soared into the sky, heading straight for Nine Heavens City.

Li Fan Yin closely followed behind him.

Not long after, the flames in the small valley extinguished, leaving only a pile of ashes.

Ming He and Yin Yue, two formidable dark path experts, vanished from this world just like that.

…

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang arrived at Nine Heavens City ahead of Huang Tian and Li Fan Yin.

The Transmission Elders’ destination was also Nine Heavens City.

The trial in Ghost Mist Gorge couldn’t continue.

Though Nine Heavens City wasn’t literally a city above the clouds,

it was built atop the summit of Nine Heavens Mountain.

Nine Heavens Mountain was an essential place for Shifang Qimen, aside from their ancestral grounds.

The entire Nine Heavens City was constructed on that mountaintop.

A thousand years ago, a master from Shifang Qimen slashed the mountaintop of Nine Heavens Mountain, then built this city.

Now, Nine Heavens City was the domain of Li Gaitian, the deputy leader of Shifang Qimen.

Li Gaitian had been stationed here for a hundred years.

As the sun rose, the city began to bustle.

Xiao Yang stood before the city gate, staring at the grand characters “Nine Heavens City” and recalled what had transpired here in his previous life.

In his past life, he almost fell victim to the remnants of the Demon Sect right here.

In that life, as he entered Nine Heavens City, he had already been targeted.

In this life, he had walked right into the trap.

He couldn’t wait to see what other antics those Demon Sect remnants would try to pull.

With that thought, his gaze sharpened, and he strode confidently into the city.

“Who goes there? Show your token.”

A tall, skinny disciple of Shifang Qimen blocked Xiao Yang’s path.

“Qingyang Sword Sect, Xiao Yang!”

Xiao Yang didn’t have a token to enter Nine Heavens City.

“What? You are the Sect Holy Son Xiao Yang of the Qingyang Sword Sect?”

The skinny disciple immediately began to size Xiao Yang up.

“Pfft, if you’re Xiao Yang, then I’m Xiao Yang’s dad.”

Just then, another disciple from Shifang Qimen strolled over, sneering at Xiao Yang.

“What did you say?”

Xiao Yang’s gaze turned icy toward the Shifang Qimen disciple.

“I said, if you’re Xiao Yang, then I’m Xiao Yang’s dad. Get it straight?”

The Shifang Qimen disciple said dismissively.

“Another scammer using Xiao Yang’s name to show off.”

The skinny disciple chuckled derisively.

“You…”

Xiao Yang was furious.
