Chapter 615 - 615: An Eye for an Eye

"Hahaha, you trash from the Saint Extreme Sect! Weren't you all so arrogant just now? Why have you all gone mute?"

"And you called us despicable! If you've got the guts, come out and fight!"

"A bunch of garbage! Useless trash!"

The argument had been fierce.

Now that He Liang had made a powerful display, the disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect naturally began to chime in, heaping scorn on the disciples of the Saint Extreme Sect.

Faced with these provocations and taunts.

The disciples of the Saint Extreme Sect were filled with indignation, but there was nothing they could do.

Just then, however, Chu Qingyun suddenly stepped forward. "He Liang, don't get too cocky. Do you really think there's no one left in my Saint Extreme Sect?"

Hearing this, every eye in the vicinity instantly fell upon Chu Qingyun.

The members of the Celestial Sword Sect had a hint of worry in their eyes.

Chu Qingyun's decisive victory over Pei Yongqing the day before had left an indelible impression on their minds.

As for the disciples of the Saint Extreme Sect, their faces instantly lit up with delighted surprise.

"Even Pei Yongqing from the Celestial Sword Sect was no match for Chu Qingyun. He can definitely beat He Liang!"

"He Liang only wins by injuring people with hidden weapons. He's definitely no match for Chu Qingyun."

These members of the Saint Extreme Sect immediately pinned all their hopes on Chu Qingyun.

He Liang, meanwhile, slowly turned to face Chu Qingyun, a disdainful sneer on his face. "An eighth-level Martial Spirit. So what if you got lucky and beat Pei Yongqing? What's there to be arrogant about?"

Pei Yongqing was known for being rather upright, and within the Celestial Sword Sect, he liked to win his battles by crushing his opponents with overwhelming power.

So, in He Liang's opinion, Pei Yongqing was just the type of guy who only knew Brute Force. He wouldn't find it strange for such a person to lose to anyone by accident.

Besides, He Liang had his own advantages and tricks up his sleeve!

"What's there to be arrogant about? Why don't you find out for yourself?" Chu Qingyun replied calmly.

"Hmph. Just putting on an act," He Liang sneered with contempt.

Then, he looked toward Pei Yongqing and asked in a loud voice, "Pei Yongqing, you said before that you would no longer make a move for that Martial King Essence Pill. Is that true?"

"He Liang, I have been defeated, so I'll be true to my word. I absolutely won't make another move on the Martial King Essence Pill!"

"But you'd better be careful. Chu Qingyun's strength is anything but simple. And… don't resort to injuring people with hidden weapons again!"

Pei Yongqing replied.

He Liang, however, just shot him an unconcerned glance, thinking to himself, 'What methods I use is none of your damn business…'

"Since Pei Yongqing isn't making a move, then I'll be the one to play with you…"

"Red Sword Slash!"

Before the words were even out of his mouth, He Liang abruptly swung his sword, slashing toward Chu Qingyun.

Six crimson Sword Shadows condensed into one, rushing menacingly toward Chu Qingyun.

Theoretically, when He Liang executed his Red Sword Slash, probably no eighth-level Martial Spirit within the Celestial Sword Sect could have withstood it.

However, with this strike, He Liang did not use his full power, holding some of his strength in reserve.

After all, Chu Qingyun was the man who had defeated Pei Yongqing.

So while He Liang appeared outwardly disdainful and completely unconcerned with Chu Qingyun, he was, in fact, extremely vigilant and cautious.

"Thunder Sword!"

Chu Qingyun's Longsword instantly left its sheath, unleashing a Thunder Sword technique.

Under the ferocious Thunder Power, the crimson Sword Shadow was utterly disintegrated in an instant, yet the bolt of Thunder continued on toward He Liang.

'The Intention Realm… truly impressive…'

He Liang thought to himself as he swung his sword again, blocking the bolt of Thunder Power.

At that moment, however, Chu Qingyun seized the opportunity, his figure flashing as he closed in on He Liang's side.

"Take this!"

Chu Qingyun shouted coldly, raising his sword high before cleaving down at He Liang.

The only thing fueling this strike was a fluctuation of Primordial Power; he wasn't using any Sword Technique or Martial Soul Power at all.

'Hm? He's courting death!'

Realizing this, He Liang was inwardly delighted. Martial Soul Power and Primordial Power instantly surged into the Longsword in his hand as he once again executed his Red Sword Slash, a crimson Sword Shadow rising to meet Chu Qingyun's strike.

"Heh heh, kid, you're too careless. Don't blame me when you die!" He Liang said with a wicked laugh.

In his mind, he was using the full power of his Red Sword Slash, while Chu Qingyun was so careless he was only using Primordial Power. This one strike should be enough to kill him with the sheer force of the impact!

Even if it didn't kill him from the shock, the power of the Red Sword Slash was enough to blow him to pieces in a single blow!

Chu Qingyun, however, had a mocking smile on his face.

How could He Liang possibly know that while this strike appeared to be backed only by Primordial Power, it actually contained the Physical Strength of a Human King Realm Expert!

BOOM!

The Thunder Shock Sword slammed heavily onto He Liang's blade.

A terrifying power was instantly unleashed.

The crimson Sword Shadow was instantly torn apart and disintegrated into nothing. He Liang's face fell, his arm went numb, and his sword was knocked from his grasp, sent flying through the air.

He felt an incomparably terrifying power surge through his body.

That force slammed him into the ground, burying him so deep his legs were almost completely out of sight. Half of his body was so shaken by the impact that it went numb, completely devoid of feeling.

A single, unadorned strike had instantly defeated He Liang!

"This… PFFT… How is this possible!?"

He Liang's face was a mask of disbelief as he coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

"Nothing is impossible."

As Chu Qingyun spoke, he suddenly lashed out, kicking He Liang on the chin. The blow knocked him clean out of the ground, and he landed with a heavy THUD in front of the Celestial Sword Sect disciples.

This was… an eye for an eye!

The disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect were all stunned speechless.

They knew Chu Qingyun was formidable, but they never imagined He Liang would be defeated so quickly and so decisively!

In truth, given He Liang's level of strength, even Chu Qingyun using the Physical Strength of a Human King Realm Expert shouldn't have been enough to defeat him so quickly.

However, in that last exchange.

He Liang had assumed Chu Qingyun was being careless. As a result, it was he who became careless, allowing Chu Qingyun to blast him into the ground with a single strike.

The disciples of the Saint Extreme Sect instantly erupted in cheers.

In that moment, they had unconsciously begun to see Chu Qingyun as the sect's hero!

As for the members of the other sects, they all watched Chu Qingyun with grave expressions, silently committing his name to memory…

"Damn it, damn it!"

"Bastard, bastard!"

After He Liang scrambled to his feet, he spat out another mouthful of blood. He had recovered a fair bit of his strength, and as his Primordial Power circulated, the numbness quickly subsided.

But in his heart, he was already seething with rage.

As one of the top experts in the Celestial Sword Sect's Outer Sect, when had he, He Liang, ever been so humiliated!?

Slammed into the dirt with a single sword strike, then kicked in the face and sent flying!

Not even Pei Yongqing and the others had ever humiliated him like this!
