Killing God - Chapter 183
Chapter 183 Madness
Dust flew up. That was the result of the restaurant being directly slashed by the Heaven-shaking Sword. For a moment, it even covered the surrounding scenery. However, when the smoke and dust were calm and quiet, a few figures were still standing there.
Du Tiejian.
This was what the bald man with the giant black sword said casually. In an instant, the faces of the people around him changed. The three disciples of Xuanjian Sect all had expressions of disbelief on their faces. They looked at the bald man with shock on their faces. However, Nangong Ying seemed to have thought of something after her initial shock. Her gaze immediately fell on Shen Shi, who was standing behind Du Tiejian. Her eyes revealed a thoughtful expression as she frowned.
Amongst the crowd, Shen Shi’s astonishment wasn’t any worse than the few people in front of him. Ever since he joined the Lingxiao Sect Sect at the age of twelve, he had cultivated in Qingyu Island for five whole years. Although he had not yet obtained the qualifications to enter Jinhong Mountain and become a direct disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, he naturally knew about some of the situations in the Lingxiao Sect Sect, including some exceptional figures.
Within the sect, the twenty-two Origin Core Realm Grand Daoists had the highest status. When they reached their cultivation realm, their reputation and virtue would shake the world. They were all disdainful to say that. Apart from these old men, The younger generation in Lingxiao Sect is also a gathering of elites, Talents emerged in large numbers, Just a genius who was qualified to fight for the next sect leader position, There were five or six of them, including Sun Hong, the eldest son of Elder Sun Ming Yang, the second-ranked person in Lingxiao Sect, Baili Jue, who was famous throughout the sect for his hard work and madness, Gan Wen Qing, the genius adopted by the Gan Clan in the “Three Swords of the High Firmament”, and Wang Gen, who presided over the affairs of the rookies in Qingyu Island that day.
However, of all these people, the most famous and influential person was another person, Du Tiejian, who was at the head of the Three Swords of Soaring Heavens.
For every disciple of the Lingxiao Sect Sect, Whether it was a direct disciple of Golden Rainbow Mountain or an outer disciple of Bluefish Island who had yet to officially enter the sect, Du Tiejian was definitely a name that pierced through the ears like thunder. In many stories and legends in the past, this man’s body seemed to be stained with all sorts of strange halos.
He was the eldest disciple of the current Soaring Firmament Sect’s sect master, Cen Huaiyuan, Talent overflowed, His talent in cultivation was said to be incredibly high, At such a young age, he broke through the realm like a bamboo shoot, The seniors who had been cultivating in the younger generation of the sect for many years were the two strongest. However, Sun Hong had even given birth to a son, Sun Heng, who was the cousin of Shen Shi’s good friend, Sun You, even though he and Sun Hong, who had already reached the peak of the Divine Concept, were now acknowledged to be at the younger generation’s Light Theory realm in the sect.
However, it was also this Du Tiejian, But his temper was unruly and unruly, It was said that throughout the entire High Firmament Sect, Apart from Sect Leader Huaiyuan being able to make him listen to him honestly, This fellow actually didn’t put anyone in his eyes, Everyone dared to scold him when he was displeased. Even the number two figure of the Soaring Firmament Sect, Elder Sun Ming Yang, was said to have been scolded by him in person. Moreover, there were rumors that this senior apprentice-brother of the Soaring Firmament Sect who was in charge of the Daoist Sect had even dared to scold the Martial Uncle who had the highest status in the sect and had already reached the Heavenly Dipper Realm.
However, it was naturally very difficult to verify such a secret. Du Tiejian had indeed disappeared for a few years. It was said that he had been sent to the Jinhong Mountain Black Wind Tunnel by the furious Adept Huaiyuan to temper himself. He had been tortured by the bone-chilling cold wind day by day.
However, none of this was able to conceal the glory of Du Tiejian, the proud son of Lingxiao Sect. Day after day, his reputation in the sect and in the entire grandmist cultivation world became more and more prosperous. Regardless of whether it was inside or outside the sect, many people already regarded him as the number one candidate for the next sect master. Even though Adept Huaiyuan often scolded him in front of others, those with slightly brighter eyes could tell that Adept Huaiyuan, who was famous for being one of the Four Righteous Under Heaven, was the one he loved the most from the bottom of his heart.
Such a figure could be said to be a genius disciple of the younger generation of the Ling Xiao Sect. No matter how he looked at it, he was from a different world from Shen Shi himself. However, he suddenly appeared in front of him without warning, blocking the hostility of the Mysterious Sword Sect and Nangong Ying in front of him.
Shen Shi felt that his brain was suddenly unable to turn around.
And up ahead, Geng Cheng and the others from the Profound Sword Sect also had extremely ugly expressions on their faces. As disciples of the Mysterious Sword Sect, their knowledge and experience were naturally not too bad. They had naturally heard of Du Tiejian’s name and knew about his background and identity. The attack just now had proved that this person was very powerful. He was truly terrifying and even more formidable than the legendary Du Tiejian.
But in their hearts, Similarly, a question similar to Shen Shi’s echoed. He was puzzled. With such an insignificant status, Shen Shi said, A young man at the Qi Refining Realm, He wasn’t even an official entry-level disciple of Lingxiao Sect, Was actually accidentally killed outside, Lingxiao Sect may not pursue it seriously. This is also the reason why the three of them dared to treat Shen Shi so forcefully. In the end, you are only an ant in the Qi Refining Realm. You are said to be a disciple of Xuanjian Sect, but in fact, you are not a real person. Why did Lingxiao Sect send someone like Du Tiejian to pick him up?
This question lingered in everyone’s hearts. Then, someone directly asked. It was Nangong Ying. She withdrew her gaze from Shen Shi and looked straight at Du Tiejian. She said,
“Senior Brother Du, why did your sect send you here to pick them up? This Shen Shi is only at the Qi Refining Realm, what on earth is there on him worth your attention?”
The bald man Du Tiejian did not immediately answer Nangong Ying’s question. Instead, he turned around and looked at Shen Shi. Then, he smiled and said, “Are you injured?”
Shen Shi took a deep breath and said, “No.”
Du Tiejian said, “Then you can leave now?”
Shen Shi immediately nodded without the slightest hesitation and said, “We can leave now.”
Du Tiejian smiled and said, “Then come back to the mountain with me. Go back to Lingxiao Sect.”
Go back to Lingxiao Sect …
These few simple words caused Shen Shi’s heart to tumble for some reason, but he finally suppressed his sudden excitement. He nodded heavily again and said, “Alright!”
Du Tiejian looked at him and saw the excitement in Shen Shi’s eyes. He chuckled and patted his shoulder gently, saying, “Alright, let’s go.”
He spoke to Shen Shi as if no one else was around. Even if Nangong Ying had asked him a question just now, Du Tiejian had actually turned a deaf ear to it. Even Shen Shi was slightly surprised. He thought to himself that in the past, he had heard that Senior Brother Du was arrogant and unruly. Now, it seemed that his reputation was well deserved.
However, Du Tiejian was like this. Nangong Ying’s expression immediately sank. Her family background had grown up in a big sect like Tianjian Palace, and she had always enjoyed a status that was like being arched by the stars. She had never experienced such a look before. She coldly snorted and turned around, blocking Du Tiejian and Shen Shi’s path. She coldly said, “You two don’t even speak clearly, do you want to leave like this?”
The giant black sword was still stabbed into the ground like a majestic and dazzling black pillar. Du Tiejian looked at Nangong Ying with a calm expression and said, “What’s the matter?”
Nangong Ying did not say anything. Geng Cheng took a deep breath and pointed at Shen Shi. “He killed Qian Yi, a disciple of the Mysterious Sword Sect. Could it be that he wanted to leave without giving an explanation?”
“Junior Brother Shen, did you kill that person?” Du Tiejian did not even turn his head.
Shen Shi remained silent for a moment and calmly said, “No.”
Du Tiejian nodded and said to Geng Cheng, “He said that there is no such thing.”
Geng Cheng was furious and said, “Did he say that he didn’t have it?”
Du Tiejian narrowed his eyes and reached out to touch his bald head. He seemed to think for a moment, then nodded and said, “That’s it.”
Geng Cheng, Ding He, and Fu Jun were furious at the same time. In their fury, they even forgot about their fear of this person. They took a step forward together and said angrily, “You Lingxiao Sect are also a decent sect. Is that so unreasonable?”
“Haha!” Du Tiejian laughed loudly. He waved his hand as if he was brushing away dust and dust. Yun Danfeng didn’t care. He smiled and said, “My realm is higher than yours, my cultivation is deeper than yours, and my strength is much stronger than yours. Is there a need to reason with you?”
Geng Cheng and the others were stunned at the same time, but these words sounded familiar. Then, they remembered what Geng Cheng had said not long ago when he personally interrogated Shen Shi. They didn’t expect that the retribution would come so quickly and return to them in the blink of an eye.
For a moment, Geng Cheng and the others were dumbfounded. They were speechless. However, Du Tiejian was only about to leave with Shen Shi when he saw Nangong Ying taking a step forward and blocking them again. Immediately, they frowned and said with a trace of impatience,
“Why are the people from your Heavenly Sword Palace here to join in the fun? Is this to support the disciples of the lower sect?”
Nangong Ying said coldly, “It’s not backing up, it’s upholding justice.”
Du Tiejian laughed heartily, as if he was disdainful, and said, “Whose justice is it?”
Nangong Ying took a deep look at Shen Shi and a complicated expression flashed across her eyes. “Senior Brother Du, you are the head disciple of your sect, Daoist Priest Huaiyuan. Every move you make is related to the face of the Soaring Firmament Sect. The suspicion that Shen Shi killed the disciple of the Black Sword Sect, Qian Yi, is extremely strong. Aren’t you afraid that the world will say that the Soaring Firmament Sect is bullying?”
The reputation and dignity of the great sects were sometimes too important, and even more so than human lives. Even Du Tiejian’s expression changed slightly when she said this. He glanced at her and suddenly said, “What kind of Dao is Qian Yi?”
Nangong Ying was stunned. A moment later, Geng Cheng said sullenly behind her, “Ning Yuan.”
Du Tiejian immediately sneered, as if he was too lazy to say anything else. He waved his arm and pulled out the giant black sword. He directly walked forward, with Shen Shi following closely behind him.
Seeing that Du Tiejian was carrying the giant sword on his shoulder like a stick and walking towards him with a faint and unrestrained might, Geng Cheng and the others’ expressions changed slightly and they couldn’t help but retreat. Only Nangong Ying remained standing still.
Du Tiejian’s expression darkened as he shouted, “Why are you so troublesome?”
Nangong Ying stared at him with a pale face, but her expression was filled with pride. She seemed to be supporting her refusal to retreat. She smiled faintly and said, “My name is Nangong Ying.”
“Nangong?”
Du Tiejian paused and looked at Nangong Ying with a strange expression. After looking at her for a while, he suddenly said, “That Nangong from Tianjian Palace?”
“Exactly.”
After a moment of silence, Du Tiejian said, “Who are you, Nangong Lei?”
As soon as this name was spoken, the faces of Geng Cheng and the others from the Profound Sword Sect revealed reverence. Even Shen Shi was moved. Because this Nangong Lei was not an ordinary person, his fame was so great that even Shen Shi had heard of him before. Nangong Lei was the Patriarch of the Nangong Clan, and also the Patriarch of the Heavenly Sword Palace. His cultivation was extremely high. It was said that he was also at the peak of the Origin Core Realm. He was one of the strongest figures in the Heavenly Sword Palace. In the eyes of these ordinary cultivators, such a figure was naturally like thunder.
“That’s my uncle,” Nangong Ying said.
Du Tiejian frowned and said, “Then Nangong Lei?”
“It’s my father,” Nangong Ying said.
Nangong Lei was Nangong Lei’s direct younger brother. He was also a Grand Daoist at the Origin Core Realm. Although his fame and cultivation couldn’t compare to his brother who was at the peak of the sun, he was also a figure in the Primordial Chaos Cultivation World who could shake mountains and shake the earth with a stomp of his foot. With such an uncle and father, it was no wonder that Nangong Ying’s status was different.
Du Tiejian nodded and said, “I see.”
Neither Shen Shi nor Xuanjian Sect knew what he meant by this. However, his expression seemed to have subsided slightly from his previous arrogance. Seeing this scene, Nangong Ying’s expression became better. Geng Cheng and the others also heaved a sigh of relief. Shen Shi’s heart sank slightly, but even though his heart was somewhat bitter, he could not bear to blame Senior Brother Du.
After all, it was a sect, a clan, and an incomparably large force standing at the peak of the Primordial Chaos Cultivation World. As for him, he was nothing more than an insignificant Qi Refining Realm disciple. Compared to the two, how to choose was self-evident.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Nangong Ying’s mouth. Although she felt a bit frustrated in her heart. If possible, she would never use her family background to suppress others. However, the young man in front of her, called Shen Shi, clearly had some strange secrets. Du Tiejian’s identity was also not trivial. She had no choice but to move out of the name of Uncle and Father.
However, she was still a disciple of a well-known sect. She had a well-rounded etiquette. Even if Du Tiejian seemed to have the intention of easing up, she did not intend to push him any further. Instead, she said seriously, “Senior Brother Du, for the sake of the relationship between the Heavenly Sword Palace and the Ling Xiao Sect for ten thousand years, let us carefully ask this person. After all …”
“I want to take him away.”
Suddenly, Du Tiejian interrupted her.
Nangong Ying raised her head in shock and said, “What?”
Du Tiejian shrugged his shoulders, as if it was a habitual action. He once again reached out and touched his bald head and said, “Before I left, the old man only told me one sentence: No matter what, bring Shen Shi back.” He chuckled and said, “Since the old man has made it so clear, of course I have to do it. Furthermore …”
He smiled as he looked at Nangong Ying and said, “Did you just say that your father is Nangong Lei?”
Nangong Ying only felt that there was something wrong with his gaze and subconsciously took a step back. However, she immediately remembered the pride and reputation of the Nangong Clan and immediately stood firm. She said, “Exactly, what do you want?”
Du Tiejian raised his head and laughed heartily. Then, his expression suddenly sank and he said coldly,
“Who is your father?”
“What?” All of a sudden, everyone was shocked by this sentence. Even Shen Shi was stunned and speechless. He thought to himself that the legends he had heard about this Eldest Senior Brother in Lingxiao Sect in the past were truly too polite …
Before he could react, he saw Du Tiejian strode forward. Seeing that Nangong Ying was still standing there motionless in shock and anger, Du Tiejian did not say anything. He flipped his wrist and saw the giant black sword, like a pillar that held the sky, rumble and smash down on Nangong Ying’s head.
The sound of the wind was mournful, instantly shaking the entire arena. It seemed to be merciless!
