Chapter 537 - An Accident

Chapter 537 An Accident
A trace of sadness rose in Fang Xiaoan’s mind.
In the past, the Tranquility Academy was the top sect in Snow Province, and as the director, he could issue orders to everyone. However, the person in front of him, who was only a third-generation core disciple of the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect, dared to scold him, the leader of an academy, at will and looked down upon him now.
Was the era of Snow Province over?
Somewhere in the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Range…
Whether they were injured or tired, regardless of their strength, all the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect pulled out the swords at their waists at this moment and gripped the weapons in their hands.
They were all in high fighting spirits without fear.
Wang Juefeng also calmed down.
He swallowed a painkilling pill to alleviate the pain of physical injury then grabbed an intact long sword, wrapping the wound between his waist and abdomen with the hem of his clothes. Then, he operated his aura, ready to fight again at any time.
Guan Feidu, who was standing beside him, sneered and held a sword with both hands.
Blossom Sword Lu Yuqi, Lu Qi, Wang Xiaosa, Shen Ku, and other disciples also made a similar move. The third-generation core disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect might have been competing with each other secretly all the time and sometimes triggered inevitable conflicts. But at this moment, they fought side by side and let go of all grudges.
Behind the crowd, Zhong Dajun also put armor on solemnly and handed the prepared weapons and armor to Gao Xue’er, Huanhuan, and Nizi at the same time, asking them to put them on, which at least could play a protective role in the upcoming battle.
Zhao Xingcheng, who was only at the four-apertured Martial Soldier Realm, stood beside Zhong Dajun, with a strong fighting desire.
He was a disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect who was born in the garbage area at the back of the mountain as well and was acquainted with Ding Hao. Although he was in a very low position now, he had no intention of withdrawing.

If I had predicted this battle earlier, I would have practiced martial arts hard with Senior Brother Ding and would be able to kill several more members of the Demon Clan today!

Zhong Dajun gave a wry smile.
While looking around, he saw a crowd of people.
Almost all the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, as well as the inhabitants of the slums, had come to the first and the second ladder areas. Although these people were enveloped by unconcealable fear and could not help trembling, they did not panic or escape. Instead, they were holding weapons in their hands, waiting for the moment of close combat.
No one could survive once the Demon Clan launched a strike.
Now that they were going to die in any case, it would be better to die on the battlefield.
In the blink of an eye, as the full-bodied Demon Aura, like dark clouds, finally covered the sky above the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Range, countless figures loomed in the Demon Aura. They were led by Green Flood Dragon King of the Heaven Hall, Nine-headed Tiger King of the Demon God Palace, and other top experts of the Demon Clan in Snow Province, while the Demon Princes and Demon Kings behind were as numerous as clouds.
Almost all the experts from the major forces of the Demon Clan in Snow Province all showed up here.

Li Jianyi, it is high time for you to surrender.
Green Flood Dragon King burst into laughter.
On the opposite side, Li Jianyi and other people all put on serious expressions.

Is the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect going to perish since all the devils have come together?

Confronted with the enemies flooding over, no one could keep from feeling helpless.

Green Flood Dragon King, Nine-headed Tiger King, aren’t you afraid of being punished by the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost since you lead your army to attack the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect? Are you going to start a war between the two clans?
Li Jianyi shouted loudly.

Haha, now that the Northern Region and the secrets of heaven are in disorder, what if the war between the two clans starts? Li Jianyi, as a martial arts master of the Human Clan, you’d better commit suicide. I’ll leave you a whole body… Haha, otherwise, I’ll give the order to kill all the people of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect!
Nine-headed Tiger King said coldly.
Li Jianyi fell silent. After a long time, he looked up and said,
What if your Demon Clan takes over the mysterious crystal mine, and our Swordsmanship-seeking Sect withdraws from the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Range?

Green Flood Dragon King shook his head and said,
The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect will be destroyed today. Li Jianyi, don’t fantasize anymore.


Haha, that’s right. We want the mysterious crystal mine and are bound to devastate the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect!
Nine-headed Tiger King, surrounded by strong Demon Aura, said quite grimly.
If it were more than 10 days ago, they might have agreed to the compromise of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.
However, after the battle in the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa at Mirror Lake, Huang Shixiong and his companions had left a deep impression on the top experts of the Demon Clan. Now that they had already destroyed the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa and killed so many people from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, their hatred could no longer be resolved so easily. Such a terrible sect would not give them any time to reorganize.
The grass would grow again when the spring came if the roots were not removed!

Don’t go too far in bullying us!
Li Jianyi also adopted a tougher tone.
We’ve already sent disciples to Mirror Lake, and the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost has gotten the news. Inspector Ding Honglei will soon come over. At that time, you demons will die without a burial place!


What? Mirror Lake? The Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost?
Nine-headed Tiger King laughed loudly.
Well, I’ll let you drop the illusion forever today. Come on, take out the bag!

As soon as he finished speaking, several experts of the Demon Clan walked out from behind him with a space bag and poured out all the stuff inside. The blood-stained heads, bodies, and broken blades and swords rolled out from it and fell to the ground like raindrops.
Li Jianyi and the others were stunned for a moment and then started roaring all of a sudden.
These heads and bodies were all dressed in the costumes of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Some of them belonged to the men they were extremely familiar with, including Huang Jin, who sent the information through the array, Huang Lei, the disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa, and others. But now, they had all become cold corpses…
Darkness came over Li Jianyi’s eyes, and he trembled as he spoke.
You… What have you done to the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa?


Haha, at this late hour, I can frankly tell you that the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa has disappeared from this world four days ago, and no one survived besides Huang Shixiong.
Nine-headed Tiger King burst out laughing and said proudly,
Mirror Lake is now in ruins, and the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost is powerless against us. Haha, you’d better give up. Today, no one can save your Swordsmanship-seeking Sect!


Nine-headed Tiger King! Well, well. You killed my disciples and vandalized my sect. I swear that I’ll kill all the demons in Snow Province as long as I’m alive.
Li Jianyi was in a violent rage like a mad lion.
Disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, attention! From today on, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect will be at daggers drawn with the Demon God Palace, the Heaven Hall, and the Evil Heart Valley. As long as you, the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, are alive, you must kill all the demons in the future. If you violate this oath, you will stand condemned by God!

His voice was as loud as thunder, shaking heaven and earth.

Swordsmanship-seeking, fight! Swordsmanship-seeking, fight! Swordsmanship-seeking, fight!

A roar, like surging waves, rang out from the mountain gate below.
All the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect raised their swords with soaring fighting spirit. The smoke of vital Qi shot up into the sky, forming dragon-like columns, which diluted the strong Demon Aura. Their anger turned into hatred, which scared and stopped the inferior demons, who came from all directions.
Green Flood Dragon King and other leaders of the Demon Clan were stunned.
However, their killing desire prevailed against the fear. They were determined to destroy the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect today. Otherwise, there would be endless troubles in the future!

Kill!

As soon as Green Flood Dragon King gave the order, countless experts of the Demon Clan began to charge!

Kill!

Li Jianyi raised his arm and gave an order.
A fierce battle was about to begin.
Just then, an accident happened.

Swoosh!

A crimson ray of light suddenly streaked across the sky and arrived in a flash from afar.
The red light approached and stayed between the groups of the Demon Clan and the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Then the light disappeared, revealing its original shape. It turned out to be a beautiful scarlet feather, fluttering between heaven and earth.
In the meantime, a majestic voice echoed.

Retreat!

It was seemingly a female’s voice, sweet and noble, like a high-ranking emperor issuing an unquestionable decree to her subjects. Though there was only one word, it sounded obviously overbearing.
The experts of the Demon Clan who had charged forward, including Green Flood Dragon King and Nine-headed Tiger King, all stopped when they heard the voice and their expressions changed drastically.
The several demon kings stared at the beautiful scarlet feather with their expressions changing rapidly, as if they had seen something incredible, and they put on a fearful look. After hesitating for a while, Nine-headed Tiger King finally gritted his teeth with hatred and shouted as he raised his arms.

Retreat, retreat from the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Range immediately!

The demons burst into an uproar.
They, however, did not dare to disobey the demon king’s order.
The next moment, whether it was the demons were in the sky or on the ground, they all retreated instantly and were several dozens of miles away in the blink of an eye.

Li Jianyi, it was Great Deity Phoenix Sage who ordered us to retreat this time. How fortunate the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect is! You have escaped from the disaster. Next time, you won’t be so lucky!
Nine-headed Tiger King turned around and roared fiercely. Eventually, he retreated reluctantly with Green Flood Dragon King and others.
In the end, the Demon Aura in the sky dissipated and the Demon Clouds disappeared.
The army of the Demon Clan, which was like a tide, had already retreated in just a few seconds.
They had not only evacuated the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Range, but had even retreated hundreds of miles away in one go. Instead of being stationed at the periphery of the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Range, they seemed to have left this area directly.
Everything had happened so suddenly and had disappeared even more abruptly.
Li Jianyi and Tang Folei looked at each other in dismay since they had not expected such an accident to occur.
The disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in the mountain-protecting array below also felt relieved.
Although they still felt sorrowful and angry because of the tragic death of their fellows of the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa, they felt very relieved to have avoided this battle. After all, no one wanted to die. As long as they were alive, they would have many opportunities to get revenge in the future!
The scarlet feather did not stay in midair for long.
After the army of the Demon Clan withdrew out of the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Range, demons instantly broke through the void with a slight shake and disappeared into the distant horizon.
The suffocating air finally dispersed.
A golden ray of sunlight cut through the dark clouds and slowly shone on the ground.
