Sword Spirit

Chapter 172: Five Star Spirit Rune, Ten Thousand Sword Rune

Seeing Elder Fan’s facial expression wasn’t friendly, Elder Yu’s face darkened. He turned his head to those disciples that were captured and snapped: “Actually daring to offend an elder. Who gave you such courage that you’ve even forgotten the daily taught sect rules? You still aren’t hurrying up and apologizing to Elder Fan? Beg for forgiveness!”

Having been snapped at by Elder Yu, the crowd of disciples naturally hurriedly apologized. If they really were expelled, then they would really unfortunate.

That senior brother Liu was quite clever. Seeing Elder Yu had the intentions of helping them get off, he pretended to be brave: “Elder, disciples truly didn’t mean to offend. I had seen junior sister Lin who had been involved with senior brother Xu Wen Yang’s murder. I wanted to ask junior sister Lin to return to the faction for questioning and in desperation, offended this Elder Fan.”

Hearing this senior brother Liu’s words, Elder Yu’s eyes flashed with a trace of praise, then he gleefully looked to Elder Fan and said: “Elder Fan, my disciples did not deliberately offend but was a matter of circumstances. You’re a big man with a big heart, just don’t mind the juniors.”

But outside of his expectations, Elder Fan only coldly snorted: “Then that means that this old man is the one in the wrong? However, for the time being, bringing up that Xu Wen Yang, I happened to have something to talk about you guys about him. I heard that you’re searching all over the inner sect to find my Enchantment Hall’s core disciple Lu Xuan and even would like to capture and kill him?”

When these words came out, the smile on Elder Yu’s face gradually disappeared and began to somber up. He finally felt like something wasn’t right.

Originally he thought that Elder Fan was only here because of these disciple’s offense. Now it seemed like that wasn’t the whole story. Also, what Elder Fan had said just now made him even more shocked. Enchantment Hall’s core disciples Lu Xuan. Where did this title pop out from?

Now, Elder Yu said in a heavy voice: “Could it be that Elder Fan has come on behalf of Lu Xuan?”

“Exactly right!” Elder Fan’s eyebrows rose and spat the two words.

“Enchantment Hall’s hands have stretched out a bit too far that they’re even caring about my inner sect’s matter? Moreover, that Lu Xuan publicly killed people in my blade faction and even killed my blade faction’s favorite disciple Xu Wen Yang. In accordance with sect rules, he deserves death!” Elder Yu’s tone was dark. He evidently had no intent to retreat on this matter.

Hearing Elder Yu’s words, Elder Fan laughed out loudly: “Why can’t I care? Lu Xuan is my Enchantment Hall Hallmaster’s disciples. You’re looking to trouble Lu Xuan, have you asked my Enchantment Hall?”

Elder Fan’s words finally confirmed Lu Xuan’s identity. Not only Elder Yu’s face changed, even the other remaining elders that had come were also incomparably shocked.

They only knew Lu Xuan was a sword faction disciple and simply hadn’t known that his identity had another layer. Enchantment Hall Hallmaster, how could they mere inner sect elders dare to provoke him. Now if they touched the other party’s disciples, how could they not make an appearance. This time’s matter, was a bit tricky…

Elder Yu’s expression gloomily wavered and he slowly said: “Even if Lu Xuan is the Hallmaster’s disciple, since he violated the sect rules, then he must naturally follow the sect’s rules for enforcement. Does the Enchantment Hall want to use one hand to blot out the sky and do away with my entire inner sect?”

“Violate sect rules? How come I didn’t know about Lu Xuan violating sect rules. From my understanding, that Xu Wen Yang walked a suicidal path and dared to use despicable means and abducted a sword faction disciple, plotting misconduct. Lu Xuan killing him is simply cleaning up my Wind Sword Sect. How is that a violation?”

“Elder Fan dares to judge my sect’s Xu Wen Yang’s behavior?”

“Dare to judge? The involved parties are here, why shouldn’t I dare to judge?” Elder Fan pointed at Lin Xin Yi.

“One side’s words, how can they be believed!” Elder Yu upheld his sophistry.

“I can also witness!” Chen Xiao Han spoke at this time.

“Who are you. Elders are talking, where is it your turn to speak?” Elder Yu angrily said.

“My dad is Chen Mo. If you’ve got ability then hit me!” Why would Chen Xiao Han fear him.

Chen Xiao Han’s words made Elder Yu’s face go ashen. He really didn’t dare to do anything to Chen Xiao Han. The crowd of disciples observing on the side couldn’t help but chuckle. Looking at the dignified blade faction great elder losing face, this was a really pleasant thing.

However, while Elder Yu didn’t say anything, another person stood up. It was the fist faction’s Elder Sun who asked in a deep voice: “Then Lu Xuan killing my blood-related grandson Long Tian, how can that be explained?”

(TN: It’s kinda funny how he doesn’t realize that his family keeps dying because they keep plotting stupid things.)

“Cut from the same cloth! That Long Tian helped Xu Wen Yang run errands and a chief criminal. It was him who knocked elder sister Lin unconscious, otherwise, how can you explain Long Tian, a fist faction disciple running over to such a private location like the blade faction residence?” Chen Xiao Han confidently answered the question.

As if he had been reminded by Elder Sun, Elder Yu then said: “Even if Xu Wen Yang and Long Tian had faults, then the five ordinary blade faction disciples Lu Xuan killed didn’t have faults right?”

This time Elder Fan continued to speak: “Your blade faction disciple’s domineering, this old man saw today. They even dare to act against elders, moreover a similar disciple like Lu Xuan, I imagine that they would attack first, attempting to prevent Lu Xuan from saving people. Under that situation, it’s self-defense. This was an accidental death. Although it has faults, it doesn’t warrant death.”

Perhaps he felt as if he had found a handle, Elder Yu’s eyes slightly narrowed and he said: “Elder Fan’s words are a bit too far-fetched. According to how you’re speaking, my blade faction’s disciples just died for nothing? As the blade faction’s elder, if I cannot even get justice for my disciples, how can I have a foothold in the future?”

“Your foothold is your matter. What does it have to do with me? No matter if it was Lu Xuan being attacked first or even if he really took the initiative to kill people, then so what? Lu Xuan is my Enchantment Hall’s core disciple. How can ordinary inner sect disciples compare to his value!” Elder Fan’s voice was resolute and decisive. He had wasted words with Elder Yu for so long that he was already a bit impatient. How dare a mere blade faction act so arrogantly. If Hallmaster was here, how would these people dare to say those words!

Elder Fan’s words caused the atmosphere of the area to tense up.

Elder Yu’s face also changed back and forth. He hadn’t thought that Elder Fan would really be so forceful with him. Under these circumstances, if he backed off, how could establish his prestige?

He then grit his teeth and said: “Could it be that Elder Fan wants to forcibly suppress us? Although my blade faction isn’t vast, it can’t lower its head!”

Saying this, the other two blade faction elders went forward one step to stand in a row with Elder Yu.

After that, the fist faction’s three elders also walked forward. Elder Sun similarly echoed: “My fist faction is also so!”

Elder Cheng’s face changed. The sword faction’s three great elders simultaneously went up, walking to Elder Fan’s side, however, inwardly they were secretly worried. The opposing side had six elders. Their side, with Elder Fan included, was only four. If a fight really started, they were afraid they wouldn’t be their opponents.

Facing the simultaneous pressure of six elders, Elder Fan was neither hurried nor slow. He rubbed his beard, half squinting, and scanned over each of the six before slowly saying: “Although my Enchantment Hall has been quiet for a long time, I didn’t know that even a mere two inner sect faction divisions would dare to try to take the advantage. Wait until Hallmaster returns, I imagine I’ll definitely bring this up.”

Perhaps feeling like their strength was greater than the sword faction’s side, Elder Yu courage was greater and he coldly snorted: “No need to take Hallmaster Chen to pressure me. I must have this Lu Xuan!”

“Is that so? Taking care of you trash, if it still needed Hallmaster to personally act, then my Enchantment Hall’s value would have fallen too far!” Elder Fan’s eyes suddenly widened and a light flashed. His two hands waved and a spirit rune tracing instantly appeared.

He was already made up his mind that if he didn’t give these punks in front of him something to look at, they really might act as if his Enchantment Hall didn’t exist.

“Go together!” Elder Yu yelled in a low voice. He knew that this time’s matter on who could speak would be determined by who had the bigger fist. This was the cultivation world’s unadorned rules. It was so even in the Wind Sword Sect.

For a time, the blade and fist factions six elder went up together. The fist faction’s three people separately used fist, palm, and claw martial skills and the blade faction was even more united as one. The three long blades swept out and were pointed towards Elder Fan.

“Elder Cheng, just observe!” Elder Fan suddenly said.

Originally, Elder Cheng’s trio were preparing to go up to help. Having been told this by Elder Fan, they could only restrain the idea of acting and had to wait and see. In their minds, they were incomparably surprised. Could it be that Elder Fan was enough to fight against six people?

A fight was ever-changing. As the sword faction’s three great elders minds were turning, the situation on the field was experiencing a large change.

Seeing the blade and fist faction’s six elders simultaneously charging, Elder Fan’s spirit rune was simultaneously finished. There was only a flash in front of him and countless sword lights were emitted. Among them six shot straight at the six great elders.

The sword light came extremely quickly. The six great elders were all greatly shocked, abruptly stopping their offensive, changing from offense to defense, hurriedly blocking the attack. Having been blocked by this sword light, the six great elders attacks had been broken and they each landed.

Both sides contact only took a moment to end. The crowd of disciples on the side simply hadn’t been able to clearly see what had happened and had seen that the six great elders had been pushed back by Elder Fan’s sword light. Who had won and lost could be known in one look.

What shocked them even more was that currently in the air above Elder Fan were suspended dozens of sword shaped lights. Each was the same as the ones that had attacked the six great elders just now. Didn’t that mean that if Elder Fan wanted to, that he was able to release dozens of similarly powered attacks in an instant?

Without waiting for the crowd of disciples to guess what martial skill Elder Fan had used, Elder Yu who had been pushed back was already shouting in horror: “Five star spirit rune, Ten Thousand Sword Rune! You’ve actually already successfully become a five star spirit runemaster!”

“That’s right! It’s the five star spirit rune Ten Thousand Sword Rune! Right now, is there still anyone who wants to speak?” Ten Thousand Sword Rune out, Elder Fan’s qi aura immediately swelled up. Facing six great elders, his tone was completely condescending.

Just now, as long as he wanted, if ten or so sword lights had simultaneously shot out, these six people, other perhaps Elder Yu who might be able to survive, the other five would die without a doubt. Even if Elder Yu survived, most likely he would have to pay a heavy price!
