Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 120

Chapter 120: To Kill Ten Thousand, Yet Save Tens of Thousands

Hong!

The terrifying shadow of the war blade slashed down ferociously.

But it was blocked by the vast river of sword intent surrounding Li Qian.

“This is?”

Celestial Being Li saw this scene, and his face was filled with shock.

To be able to withstand the materialized attack of a Celestial Being’s Martial Arts Legion, only a Top-Tier Celestial Being could bear it.

Could the intelligence be wrong? Divine Sword Sect not only has Celestial Being Xiao, but also a hidden Top-Tier Celestial Being?

But Top-Tier Celestial Beings are not cabbages. The number of Top-Tier Celestial Beings in the entire Great Chang is limited, and they are all well-known figures. It is almost impossible to remain hidden.

How could there be a hidden Top-Tier Celestial Being in this Taixing Circuit?

This is troublesome.

It means that the plan to attack Divine Sword Sect will fail.

Undoubtedly, it will greatly affect Prince Ning’s subsequent grand scheme.

“The materialized attack of the Martial Arts Legion is indeed very strong.”

Li Qian let out a long breath, having withstood the enormous pressure.

This was his first time facing a real Martial Arts Legion head-on.

It was still a Martial Arts Legion commanded by a Celestial Being.

However, he had withstood it.

“Next, it’s my turn to attack.”

He took a deep breath, and the vast river of sword intent spread out. The gathered sword qi had already transformed into a rolling torrent of sword energy. The moon that had originally emerged from the clouds was once again obscured by this river of sword qi, and the sky and earth darkened.

“This is?”

Celestial Being Li felt a palpitation in his heart, as if an unstoppable, catastrophic disaster was about to befall him.

Suddenly!

Li Qian pointed his finger, and the rolling river of sword qi surged out, like a great river rushing, sweeping towards the Martial Arts Legion below.

“Shield!”

Celestial Being Li roared.

All the Martial Arts Legion soldiers and officers, suddenly assumed a defensive formation. Under the guidance of Celestial Being Li, they transformed into a peculiar, invisible light shield, intending to block the attack of the rolling river of sword qi.

But as the river of sword qi crashed onto the light shield, the shield only held for a moment before it was overwhelmed by the continuous torrent of sword qi.

Celestial Being Li looked at the surging river of sword qi, his eyes filled with horror and fear. Before he could even retreat, he was engulfed by the overwhelming sword qi.

Countless sword energies swept across, and everything in their path, trees, soldiers, and officers were all shredded.

When the dust settled, a terrifying trench more than ten zhang wide, one zhang deep, and two to three hundred zhang long had formed in the undulating mountain forest.

It was as if something huge had plowed through from beginning to end.

Within this trench, it was a vibrant red, a mixture of countless shredded flesh, blood, bones, and organs.

Pu!

At the end of the trench, a figure lay in the bloody mud, his armor and clothes completely shattered, his body riddled with holes, not a single piece of flesh intact.

Even his eye sockets were bloody holes.

It was Celestial Being Li.

“Ce… Celestial Image.”

He mumbled two words, and then he was dead.

“Aiya, I didn’t control it well. The power seems to have been excessive.”

Li Qian looked at the dead Celestial Being, touching his nose.

He had thought that the defense of the Celestial Being’s army would be very strong, so he had pushed the Great River Sword Qi to its limit.

Many of the surviving soldiers and officers in the forests on both sides were completely bewildered. The sword qi storm that had just annihilated all life had completely destroyed any courage and will they had.

And in the rear, among the black-clothed half-demon legion, everyone’s eyes were wide open.

“Retreat.”

The Elder of the Moon Worship Cult trembled as he gave the order.

Immediately, all the black-clothed individuals quickly retreated.

“Trying to run?”

Li Qian’s eyes narrowed.

He now felt a throbbing pain in his forehead, very uncomfortable.

But he couldn’t let such a powerful half-demon legion escape alive.

Since they came to the territory of Divine Sword Sect, they should stay.

Moreover, he wanted to know the purpose of the Martial Arts Legion and the half-demon legion attacking Divine Sword Sect.

The next moment, he transformed into a golden stream of light, piercing through the night sky, shooting towards the black-clothed individuals.

The Elder of the Moon Worship Cult was scared out of his wits and immediately roared, “Divine Transformation, engage the enemy.”

Instantly, all the black-clothed individuals who were retreating almost simultaneously stopped, turned around, and began to transform into half-demons.

Over a thousand half-demons, each more than two meters tall, formed a battle formation. A fierce aura emanated from them, connecting into one, their fierce power no less than that of the previous Martial Arts Legion.

Suddenly.

A faint golden stream of light swept over. Strange golden light rippled out, covering a radius of ten meters. Wherever it passed, all the transformed half-demons quickly reverted to their human forms, and then, under the sharp sword light, they turned into piles of shredded corpses.

After a while.

◈◈◈

There was not a single living half-demon left in the mountain forest.

Only the Elder of the Moon Worship Cult remained, standing in the wind, disheveled.

“It’s you, you discovered the Taiping Sacred Cave?”

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, and asked in a low voice.

How did this powerful Celestial Being do it? How could he forcibly undo the Divine Transformation of the Holy Religion Legion?

It’s unbelievable.

“Oh, you found the Taiping Sacred Cave?”

Li Qian was surprised.

Of the four treasure maps he released, the fourth map was correct on the surface, but the core was wrong. Logically, it shouldn’t have been possible to find the Taiping Sacred Cave.

But the tone of this Moon Worship Cult member seemed to indicate that they had been to the Taiping Sacred Cave.

“It really is you.”

The Elder of the Moon Worship Cult smiled bitterly.

This person is too powerful, easily destroying a Martial Arts Legion, easily slaughtering a half-demon legion. This is definitely not the strength that a Top-Tier Celestial Being should possess.

Only an Invincible Celestial Being who has comprehended Celestial Image Level Martial Intent.

Does his Moon Worship Cult still have hope?

Not at all.

“Since you were able to enter the Taiping Sacred Cave, you should have obtained the Divine Core of the Heavenly Wolf Divine Beast. You must have a connection with the Taiping Cult. I am an Elder of the Moon Worship Holy Religion. I am willing to respect you as a Divine Envoy, offer everything, and obey your commands. I only ask that you lead our Moon Worship Holy Religion to restore the glory of the Taiping Cult.”

The Elder of the Moon Worship Cult suddenly knelt down, his tone filled with excitement and fanaticism.

Li Qian was stunned by this person’s actions.

Respect him as a Divine Envoy?

What kind of crazy logic is this?

They can’t beat him, so they want to recruit him?

“First, tell me, why are you attacking Divine Sword Sect?”

Li Qian asked.

“Reporting to the Divine Envoy, just a few days ago, in the battle of Wutong Province City, Prince Chen’s Residence suddenly switched sides and joined Prince Ning’s forces. With internal and external cooperation, and our Moon Worship Cult dispatching a 6,000-strong Holy Religion Legion, we annihilated the White Tiger Legion, routed the Taotie Legion and the Xuan Bird Legion, achieving an unprecedented victory. Therefore, Prince Ning intends to move west, annexing Taixing Circuit and Kunwu Circuit. So he first dispatched a Martial Arts Legion to attack Divine Sword Sect and capture this crucial strategic location. Our Moon Worship Cult also wanted to take this opportunity to expand our influence to Taixing Circuit, so I was sent to lead a half-demon legion here, and also to search for the Divine Envoy’s whereabouts.”

The Elder of the Moon Worship Cult spoke honestly.

He believed that since this powerful being had taken the Divine Core, he must have a connection with the Taiping Cult and would definitely be willing to take over the Moon Worship Holy Religion.

After all, the strength of the Moon Worship Cult is also very powerful.

“I see.”

Li Qian was amazed. The situation had changed too drastically.

Prince Ning’s forces in the east had already gained complete momentum.

The White Tiger Legion, which had annihilated Prince Luo’s main Martial Arts Legion, had been destroyed by Prince Ning’s rebel army. Even two of the imperial clan’s elite Martial Arts Legions had been routed.

The magnitude of the loss is unimaginable.

Next, Prince Ning’s rebel army will definitely take advantage of this great victory and sweep westward, annexing Taixing Circuit and Kunwu Circuit.

Taixing Circuit will no longer be peaceful.

This is really too difficult.

Why can’t they just let him quietly ring the bell and cultivate?

Feeling a little tired, Li Qian sighed. Suddenly, with a flick of his finger, a streak of sword qi pierced through the forehead of the Elder of the Moon Worship Cult.

“You…”

The Elder of the Moon Worship Cult’s eyes widened, in disbelief.

Why did Li Qian kill him?

Thud!

The Elder of the Moon Worship Cult fell to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.

Whoosh!

Li Qian had no intention of accepting the Moon Worship Cult. The reason was simple: he found it troublesome.

So he soared into the sky and began to eliminate the scattered remnants of the rebel army.

It was almost dawn when Li Qian killed the last rebel soldier.

Fortunately, these rebel soldiers couldn’t fly. Even Grandmaster level experts could only quickly move through the forest. Coupled with the previous unrestrained release of the Great River Sword Qi, which had destroyed more than 70% of the rebel army, otherwise, it would have been quite difficult for him to clean them up completely.

“Aiya, I’ve committed such a great killing sin again. What a sin.”

Li Qian looked at the devastated scene, and he couldn’t help but sigh.

However, he did not regret it.

If he didn’t have such powerful strength, and these rebel forces had launched a surprise attack on Divine Sword Sect, perhaps the tens of thousands of people in Divine Sword Sect would have been killed.

He was just trying to save Divine Sword Sect.

To kill ten thousand, yet save tens of thousands.

It was all worth it.
