Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Killing Another Celestial Being

Thump thump thump thump

Suddenly, the earth trembled, an invisible pressure transmitted from the horizon.

The birds that had been resting in the mountains and forests all flew up into the night sky, desperately flying into the distance.

Some wild beasts also ran out, fleeing for their lives.

In the constantly flowing river, even some fish jumped out of the water, as if frightened.

Elder Xiao Wendao, with white hair and a bald head, looked solemnly in the direction of the huge commotion.

He knew that it was Prince Luo’s Martial Arts Legion marching rapidly towards the Divine Sword Sect.

This location was estimated to be less than two hundred miles from the Divine Sword Sect.

At the speed of Prince Luo’s Martial Arts Legion, they would be able to reach the gates of the Divine Sword Sect by tomorrow morning.

“Old Ghost Xiao, see that? Prince Luo’s army is here, it won’t be long before they flatten your Divine Sword Sect.”

Real Person Yangmei of the Purple Cloud Sect pointed his horsetail whisk in the direction of the commotion, using this to provoke Xiao Wendao, “Hehe, do you feel very powerless and unwilling now? Because you can only watch helplessly as the Divine Sword Sect is destroyed. Your disciples and grandchildren, everything about your Divine Sword Sect, will eventually be reduced to ashes under Prince Luo’s army, ceasing to exist.”

Xiao Wendao did not speak, his expression was only icy cold, staring at Real Person Yangmei, the Wheat Awns Divine Sword in his palm was also trembling slightly, almost unable to hold back.

It’s just that he knew he didn’t have much fighting strength left.

His only remaining trump card, the Wheat Awns Divine Sword, was also difficult to threaten these two Celestial Beings.

After all, these two Celestial Beings were too cautious.

Moreover, his injuries were very serious, and in this situation, there was no way to recuperate. As time passed, it would only get worse.

The only thing he could do now was to hold these two Celestial Beings back for as long as possible, even for a day or two.

Li Qian, wearing a black cloak, hid in a big tree, motionless, and even used the function of the Time Bell to lock his own aura.

At this moment, he could feel the vibration of the earth, and the invisible pressure coming from afar.

The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi seemed to have fallen into a state of frenzy.

In his sight, a large black-armored army was running in a unique formation at a neither fast nor slow speed.

The entire army seemed to form a whole, countless fighting spirits gathered, extremely strong, sweeping everything, unstoppable.

“Is this the morale and fighting spirit of the Martial Arts Legion?”

Li Qian murmured in his heart.

This was the first time he had seen a real Martial Arts Legion.

And it was a Martial Arts Legion that had set up a battle formation.

Even though this Martial Arts Legion was just marching, and hadn’t entered a combat state, otherwise this fighting spirit and military might would be even more terrifying.

“I wonder where that Half-Demon Legion is?”

Li Qian watched as the Martial Arts Legion passed by like a black torrent.

He had searched a large area before, but had not found the Half-Demon Legion.

However, those Half-Demons were ordinary human martial artists before they transformed.

It was impossible for them to maintain their transformed state all the time.

Therefore, it was very likely that this Half-Demon Legion was just marching as an ordinary team now.

“Sigh, facing such a Martial Arts Legion, with my strength, I’m afraid I can’t fight them head-on.”

Li Qian sighed in his heart.

He could feel the strength of the Martial Arts Legion’s fighting spirit, it was probably capable of shaking the True Image Level Martial Intent of a Celestial Being.

Perhaps a single ordinary martial artist was an ant in front of a Celestial Being, even thousands or tens of thousands of ordinary martial artists were just a mob in front of a Celestial Being.

But when these thousands or tens of thousands of martial artists united together, formed a Martial Arts Legion, and set up a battle formation, the qualitative change they produced was earth-shattering.

What’s more, the Martial Arts Legion that had just passed by had a considerable number of high-level martial artists, and even some Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters. If there was also a Celestial Being as the commander, one could imagine how strong their combat power was.

“The best way is to infiltrate and launch a sneak attack while this Martial Arts Legion is resting and hasn’t set up a battle formation.”

Li Qian calculated.

Of course, the risk of this was also extremely high.

After all, sneaking into a powerful legion to carry out an assassination would most likely result in being trapped in the legion’s battle formation and eventually being worn down to death.

So he definitely wouldn’t do that.

Just as Li Qian was about to leave, he suddenly heard some unusual movements by the river in the distance.

His heart stirred, and he hurriedly moved over slowly.

Finally, standing on a hillside, he saw shadowy figures moving by the rushing river.

He didn’t dare to use his spiritual perception to probe at will, nor did he dare to look directly.

So he took out a crude telescope that he had made when he was bored from the black iron ring, and pointed it in that direction.

The moonlight was quite bright tonight.

So with the help of the telescope, he still saw the figures by the river clearly.

There were three in total.

One was sitting cross-legged by the river.

The other two were standing far away.

“That… seems to be Xiao, Celestial Being Xiao?”

Li Qian’s heart stirred, extremely surprised.

Celestial Being Xiao’s luck was too bad, he was actually being chased again?

Li Qian didn’t know the news of the several Celestial Beings fleeing back in a sorry state before he left the Divine Sword Sect.

But Prince Ye’s army had been defeated at the Qishui River, so it was likely that the Celestial Beings were not doing well either.

“Those two should be Celestial Beings.”

Li Qian thought to himself.

But he didn’t know why those two Celestial Beings didn’t make a move, but just stared?

If it was one Celestial Being, he could sneak over and launch a fatal blow, it shouldn’t be a problem.

But two Celestial Beings were completely different.

Because when he attacked one Celestial Being, he also had to be distracted to guard against the other Celestial Being, in this way, he would definitely not be able to exert his full strength.

He never made a move without certainty.

“I wonder if Celestial Being Xiao still has any fighting strength left, if he can hold back one Celestial Being, then it won’t be a big problem.”

◈◈◈

Li Qian calculated.

Therefore, whether Celestial Being Xiao still had the power to fight back was very crucial.

Thinking of this, Li Qian put the telescope back into the black iron ring, then carefully and slowly sneaked over.

Extremely cautious and careful.

However, he had the experience of the last assassination, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to sneak over.

Closer.

Getting closer and closer.

He could even hear the three of them talking.

The words of one of the Celestial Beings were very despicable, obviously provoking Celestial Being Xiao.

“These two Celestial Beings don’t dare to directly attack Celestial Being Xiao, they should be worried that Celestial Being Xiao still has a trump card, so it seems that Celestial Being Xiao most likely still has the power to strike once. As long as Celestial Being Xiao reacts in time to intercept the other Celestial Being when I launch my sneak attack, then there’s a chance.”

After Li Qian reached the vicinity, he completely concealed himself.

Holding his breath, converging his life force, he only judged the positions of the two Celestial Beings by his hearing.

He simulated the assassination scene over and over again in his mind, making sure to kill with one blow.

Time passed by second by second.

Prince Luo’s Martial Arts Legion had long since gone away, and almost no sound could be heard.

It was very quiet around.

Only the cold wind was biting.

Suddenly, the cold moon in the sky gradually entered the clouds.

The light between heaven and earth dimmed.

Li Qian instantly seized the opportunity to attack, without hesitation, he dashed out like a ghost, silently approaching behind one of the Celestial Beings.

Sword Eighteen had already been unsheathed, emitting a cold sword light.

Celestial Being Yangmei of the Purple Cloud Sect suddenly felt a chill down his spine, enveloped by a terrifying Martial Intent.

He reacted and instantly used his True Image Level Martial Intent to resist, his True Qi surged, transforming into a cloud of purple tide, but the next moment, a terrifying bell sound suddenly rang in his mind.

Causing his thinking and consciousness to fall into a brief blank.

Immediately following, a strange fluctuation swept over, causing his body’s Qi and Blood to go berserk, making him extremely uncomfortable.

When he turned around with difficulty, he only saw a terrifying sword light attacking.

“Don’t save, save.”

His heart let out a silent rage.

But his body almost lost control at this moment.

He could only ask for help from the other Celestial Being of Prince Luo’s Residence who was not far away.

As long as that Celestial Being blocked this sword for him, he would be able to escape.

The Celestial Being of Prince Luo’s Residence reacted very quickly, and immediately wanted to intercept.

Li Qian did not target this person, the Time Bell’s sound only attacked Real Person Yangmei.

If the Time Bell carried out a range attack, the effect would not be so good.

In addition, Li Qian’s current Blood and Qi Sanctuary Rudimentary Form had a limited range, about two zhang.

Once beyond this range, the effect of the Blood and Qi Sanctuary Rudimentary Form on Qi and Blood would not work.

The position where the Celestial Being of Prince Luo’s Residence was standing was outside the influence range of the Blood and Qi Sanctuary.

Of course, as long as this Celestial Being entered the range of the Blood and Qi Sanctuary Rudimentary Form, he would still be affected.

It’s just that at the Celestial Being level, it was generally rare to attack at close range like Li Qian?

Even Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters wouldn’t do this. When fighting each other, even a distance of tens of meters was normal.

This was where the current weakness of the Blood and Qi Sanctuary Rudimentary Form lay.

“That’s?”

Xiao Wendao, who was sitting cross-legged, reacted even faster.

After all, he had experienced such a scene before.

Too familiar.

He was best at adapting to circumstances, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to escape from many life-or-death crises, the nickname Running Xiao wasn’t for nothing.

He instantly reacted, the Wheat Awns Divine Sword that he had been secretly preparing was directly sacrificed.

He even used the secret technique to stimulate his life force again.

In an instant, an obscure cold light shot out from his palm.

The Celestial Being of Prince Luo’s Residence, who was about to intercept, immediately felt a chill down his spine, sensing a terrifying attack from Xiao Wendao.

At this time, he couldn’t care less about Real Person Yangmei, self-preservation was the most important.

After all, Chen Ao of the Mysterious Netherworld Sect had died at the hands of Xiao Wendao, so it was conceivable that Xiao Wendao’s trump card must be very terrifying.

So he abruptly turned the war saber he had drawn, fiercely slashing at the incoming cold light.

The dazzling saber light illuminated the night sky.

It also illuminated the terrified face of Celestial Being Yangmei of the Purple Cloud Sect.

He could only watch helplessly as that terrifying sword light pierced through the night, tore through his Protective True Qi that had not yet been fully set up, and then swept across his neck.

The next moment, he felt his vision spinning high up in the air.

No, he saw his body, still in place.

But without a head.

“I’m dead?”

His consciousness, in an instant, as his head rolled to the ground, fell into eternal darkness.
