Chapter 41: The Sword of Law

  "After dealing with Zhao Xiong, you're next. You can't escape, our Lieyang Sect will definitely issue a wanted order, and even if the world is big, there won't be any place for you to hide."

  Two Longwang elders were covered in frost, their killing intent soaring into the sky.

  "That can wait until you two have won."

  The Great Elder's double palms were cast, each palm having the power to shatter the sky and split the earth, forcibly holding back two Dragon Power Realm Elders, making it impossible for them to deal with Lin Xi.

  However, the Great Elder was secretly shocked in his heart despite his calm appearance. That Third Prince was nothing but a mere fool. But the strong ones of the Dragon Power Clan were not so easily killed.

  The ninth-level warrior's strength can fight against dragons, not to mention their strong vitality. Ordinary fatal injuries are nothing to them. Even if their heart is broken, they can still live for a long time.

  Although the Great Elder also had some doubts, Lin Xi's ability to break through layers of danger and appear here was proof of his strength in itself.

  Although the matter was shocking and hard to believe at first, Da Zhang Lao believed that Lin Xi should not have lied.

  "Meng Jun, hurry up and kill this kid. Once we're done with things here, when we return to Lieyang Mountain, we'll definitely report back to the Sect Master and heavily reward you!"

  Two Longwei elders were shocked and furious, immediately issuing an order to Meng Jun: to borrow Meng Jun's hands to kill Lin Xi.

  "Han Shizhong, Meng Jun is one thing, but don't you know how to repent? I'm considering the camaraderie of our sect, that's why I've been lenient with you time and again. Do you really want to watch as Meng Jun hands over the foundation established by our respected master to the Lieyang Sect? Such actions, can they be justified in front of our deceased master, and in front of the nearly thousand disciples of the Five Thunder Sect?"

  The old man's voice was loud and clear, like thunder, and also took this opportunity to shake the will of another elder, Han Shizhong.

  Mount Wulei's usually inconspicuous elder, who looked like he was about to enter his coffin with one foot, only revealed his true, majestic appearance at this moment.

  His body was covered in wounds, his clothes were soaked in blood. However, he still looked fierce and powerful, facing the joint attack of two Dragon Force elders and a Diamond Period elder without showing any signs of defeat.

  On the other hand, Han Shizhong remained silent and did not respond to Dalao's words. However, his offensive was no longer as fierce as before.

  In this rebellion, Han Shizhong was not the main force to begin with. Even if Meng Jiao succeeded, he would at most be an elder, without much benefit. In this rebellion, he is completely being passively drawn in.

  So, it's not that hard to understand why he held back a bit. Moreover, after Lin Xi appeared, Han Shizhong also felt a subtle change, and this battle, which was originally a sure win, now had some subtle variables.

  Two senior dragon power elders of Lieyang Sect watched with their eyes, although they were dissatisfied in their hearts, but also could not help it. After all, Han Shizhong is still not a person of Lieyang Sect at present.

  Another aspect is that Han Shizhong was originally an auxiliary in battle, and whether he was lazy or not didn't make a big difference. Therefore, the two Leng Yang Sect elders also had no heart to manage him for the time being.

  "Meng Jun, next, quick battle and swift victory!"

  A senior elder of the Lieyang Sect suddenly seized the opportunity, his wrist shook, and a three-foot-long sword transformed into a flowing light, which was inserted in front of Meng Jun's body on the ground.

  Meng Jun's eyes flashed with a hint of light, and he immediately took his sword in hand. In an instant, his mind was greatly calmed, and three points of self-confidence appeared on his face.

  "Great Elder, don't blame me either. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for stubbornly adhering to old rules and protecting that Lin Xi brat. After I kill him and cut off the Lin family's bloodline, I'll come back and deal with you thoroughly!"

  Meng Jun grasped a three-foot long sword in his hand, its cold light flashing, and immediately charged towards Lin Xi.

  "You killed my tiger, I'll kill you as a sacrifice for its blood!"

  "Hmph! I was afraid you didn't have what it takes!"

  Lin Xi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his body sprang into action, ready to unleash his Empty-Handed White Blade technique to snatch Meng Jun's long sword. With his current surge in power, he didn't even consider Meng Jun, a senior elder of the Five Thunder Sect, to be a worthy opponent.

  Meng Jun sneered and didn't argue, directly shaking his long sword, left palm and right sword, stabbing towards Lin Xi's arm.

  Lin Xi's face was also ferocious, he and Meng Jun had a deep-seated grudge that seemed to be as vast as the ocean, and they would not rest until one of them died. With a flick of his wrist, he was about to snatch away Meng Jun's long sword, but just as he was about to grab it, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged up from within him.

  "Lin Xi, dodge! That sword can't be met head-on!"

  The old man's eyes caught sight of this scene and he was shocked, hastily letting out a loud roar.

  "What? Could it be that this long sword is haunted?"

  Lin Xi knew that the Great Elder would never shoot without a target, and as soon as he heard the reminder in his ear, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

  A warrior who reaches the seventh layer of the Giant Spirit period has skin as tough as steel, and is no longer afraid of ordinary swords and guns.

  But Lin Xi was at a level where he was as solid as gold, and his body was impervious to harm. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been afraid of such sword strikes. However, for some reason, the three-foot-long sword in Meng Jun's hand gave Lin Xi an extremely strong sense of threat.

  "Don't force it!"

  Lin Xi's eyes flashed with a hint of light, and he immediately stomped on the Seven Stars Step, retreating backwards in an instant. However, at this moment, the distance between the two was too close, and even though Lin Xi reacted quickly, it was still too late.

  Hmph!

  It was as if scissors had cut through paper, Lin Xi only felt a chill in his arm, and blood gushed out with a whooshing sound. It wasn't until much later that he felt the pain. And on his arm, at some unknown time, a huge scar had appeared.

  If it weren't for Lin Xi's last-minute withdrawal, his entire arm would have been chopped off at this moment.

  "What kind of sword is this?!"

  Lin Xi was shocked, his indestructible body, under Meng Jun's sword, was actually like a paper paste. His arm broke, blood flowed out, and only then did he feel the pain, which was clearly a sword edge that had reached an unimaginable level.

  Meng Jun struck with one blow, his heart greatly settled, and he didn't rush to pursue and kill, instead coldly smiling in the shadows:

  "Lin Xi, you're still too inexperienced. If you hadn't shown up today, I would have been at a loss for what to do with you. But unexpectedly, you jumped into the net yourself. It's truly heaven helping me! - Ah, aren't you curious? A strong warrior in the Diamond stage, impervious to swords and guns, yet can't withstand my one sword."

  Meng Jun was in control of the situation at this time, and he wasn't afraid of Lin Xi stirring up trouble.

  "I'll let you die with a clear conscience. This sword is the strongest among the ten realms of martial arts, forged by a powerful cultivator in the Refining Qi realm. It can cut through iron like mud and is extremely effective against physical warriors like us. Even if it's a strong warrior from the Dragon Power period, they'll be split in two with just one strike, no chance of survival. This was originally meant for the Great Elder, but now it's being used on you first!"

  "Refining Qi Realm expert?"

  Lin Xi's eyes narrowed, revealing a look of surprise.

  Although he knew that Meng Jun's long sword was extraordinary, he didn't expect it to be a powerful sword forged by a master of the tenth level of martial arts, in the Refining Qi realm!

  It's said that even the strongest in the Refining Qi realm, the Dragon God can't be seen from head to toe. Even Lin Xi's father, Lin Xiong, doesn't have the qualifications to meet them. To put it simply, a martial artist of the 10th rank of the Martial Way, even if they're a great elder, wanting to see a strong Refining Qi realm cultivator is as difficult as an ordinary person trying to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

  The strong in the Refining Qi Realm are high above, sitting on the throne of the imperial palace, while the strong in the tenth rank of martial arts are just farmers tilling the land. The two identities are worlds apart and have no possibility of socializing!

  However, a powerful cultivator's ritual sword has now appeared in the grand hall of the Five Thunder Sect. Meng Jun having obtained this ritual sword is like an imperial envoy holding the Imperial Sword, and the shock it brings to ordinary people can be imagined.

  "No wonder the great elder's body is covered in so many scars!"

  Lin Xi finally understood why the Great Elder's body looked so bloody and miserable. This terrifyingly powerful magic sword, even a strong warrior of the Dragon Power Period would not dare to resist head-on.

  "Meng Jun, don't talk too much, remember that trouble comes from the mouth. Those people upstairs don't like people who are too chatty."

  A senior elder of the Liuyang Sect heard Meng Jun reveal the secret of the Fa Sword and immediately felt displeased, reminding him at once.

  These several elders of the Liuyang Sect were in a fierce battle with Elder Zhao Xiong. Masters exchanging moves, originally shouldn't be distracted. But this can also be seen from the side, even these Liuyang Sect's elders, for a strong cultivator at the Refining Qi stage, are extremely wary, afraid of provoking some disaster.

  "Heh heh, don't worry, elders. The reason I told him these things is that they will be dead soon. And the dead are the best at keeping secrets."

  Meng Jun stared at Lin Xi, sneering coldly:

  "Lin Xi, I'm telling you this secret as a way of repaying the last bit of kindness your family has shown me. And letting you die by the sword of a stronger cultivator is the greatest favor I can bestow upon you!"

  "Wait a minute!"

  Lin Xi felt Meng Jun was about to make a move and immediately shouted:

  "Meng Jun, I'm only asking you one question. My aunt Lin Ruyun, where is she exactly? What have you done to her?"

  He rushed back to the Thunder Sect, just to get news of his aunt and rescue her. Before he could find out where his aunt was, Meng Jun couldn't die!

  "Oh? You want to know what happened to your aunt?"

  Meng Jun's eyes blinked once, he was about to make a move, but after hearing Lin Xi's words, he temporarily stopped again:

  "Alright, I'll let you die with your eyes closed. --- The master of Lieyang Sect is very interested in some secrets on her body, and now he has already rushed to Lieyang Sect. If you hurry up, you might still be able to collect her corpse for her. --- But unfortunately, you will also die here, I'm afraid it's too late."

  Meng Jun finished speaking and took advantage of Lin Xi's momentary distraction to seize the opportunity and make a ruthless move.

  "Wind, Thunder, Tides!"

  Meng Jun's right palm lifted, and suddenly a strong gust of wind and thunder erupted in the empty space. Faintly visible were arcing flashes of lightning, forming a foamy shadow. This was the sign that the Five Thunder Sect's Wind and Thunder Palm had reached its limit.

  Meng Jun's left sword and right palm were simultaneously released, transforming into a rainbow light that shot towards Lin Xi.

  "You think you can defeat me just because you've obtained the sword of a Qi-refining warrior? Today, we'll settle both old and new scores. Come on, bring your life!"

  Lin Xi suddenly received news of his aunt, and immediately showed no mercy to Meng Jun. Several punches in a row stirred up a violent airflow, which blasted towards Meng Jun.

  Bang! Bang!

  Meng Jun's sword flashed and trembled, its three-foot-long green glow spinning like lightning, instantly dispersing Lin Xi's fist wind.

  "Want revenge? Unfortunately, you don't have what it takes."

  Meng Jun sneered, relying on the Fa sword in his hand, his combat power had increased by more than double. Any warrior facing the sharp Fa sword in his hand would have to hold back, unable to fully unleash their skills.
