Borrowing a sword

Chapter 212 Chief Chu, We Won't Kill You

In the air, Chu Huaixu: "."

After leaving the Origin Spirit Realm today, he clearly sensed that Jiang Zhi's attitude towards him was completely different.

He jokingly thought to himself, "Little Grandmaster Uncle, I still prefer your unruly self."

However, at this moment, Jiang Zhizhen became unruly, and Chu Huaixu felt like he had a splitting headache!
"No! Haven't we been talking about a cataclysmic event and prioritizing the greater good all along?"

"Now a group of people are coming to snatch my Xuanhuang Origin Fragment. If you're not careful, what if you suddenly say you don't use a sword? You're just putting on an act here!"

"I'm speechless!" Chu Huaixu cursed inwardly.

He composed himself and said loudly, "Junior Grandmaster Uncle, why should we give in to them!"

"This disciple also wishes to witness the prowess of the world's strongest swordsman!" The dead fox began to employ his persuasive skills.

You old fool, I'll appease you for now, I'll settle the score with you later!
Jiang Zhi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the six people in front of him, and said calmly, "They are not worthy to see my sword here."

Chu Huaixu began to grit his teeth in hatred.

Besides that, he also had some questions.

Why are these six major powers so lenient towards this "deviant path"?

"I just risked my life for the Xuanhuang Realm, and these six seventh and eighth realm guys come to steal my [Origin Fragment]?"

"The six major powers actually tacitly approved?"

Perhaps sensing Chu Huaixu's confusion, Chu Yinyin, who was by his side, began to send him a secret telepathic message.

"Chu Huaixu, you don't need to be nervous," the old woman transmitted her voice.

She continued, "First of all, Junior Uncle is right, these people are not worthy to look at his sword!"

"After forcibly falling from his cultivation level many years ago, Junior Uncle has been nurturing the Heaven and Earth Sword."

"For all these years, he has been nurturing that sword, and has never drawn it again."

"This sword strike was never intended for these rogue cultivators!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu roughly guessed what was going on.

Chu Yinyin then transmitted her voice again: "Also, don't listen to your junior uncle's nonsense here."

"He just wants to show off and steal the spotlight in front of you on purpose."

"Right now, he's probably begging you to be his future grand-disciple."

"He deliberately only said half of what he meant!"

"These people are indeed here to steal your Origin Fragment, but even if they succeed, they will still return it to you."

"If you've just risked your life for the Xuanhuang Realm, and the four major sects promised you the [Eastern Continent Token], and then you're killed and robbed by the [Wrong Path] people, then the [Wrong Path] should cease to exist!"

"The current situation is simply because [Wrong Path] wants a piece of the pie and wants to become the seventh force."

"But these six major powers don't even think they have the right to sit down and talk about this matter, let alone give them the opportunity to sit at the table."

"The six major powers tacitly approved of their actions, merely giving these persistent rogue cultivators a chance to challenge us."

Hearing these words lessened Chu Huaixu's confusion somewhat.

The six major powers have essentially monopolized the subsequent layers of the [Origin Spirit Realm] over the past thousand years.

In other words, these primordial fragments are distributed internally within the core layers of these forces.

Those like them, practicing as independent cultivators, will never have the chance in their lifetime.

Even if they wanted to deal with the [Origin Spirit Realm] on their own and obtain the Origin Fragments through their own abilities, they wouldn't even have the qualification to enter! They wouldn't even give you an entry ticket!
But now that a great calamity is about to befall the world, all high-end combat forces must unite as one in the general direction.

However, independent cultivators are used to being unrestrained, without the rules of a sect or the ties of a master. Their way of doing things walks on the edge of good and evil, and there are many of them.

Now, they've even come up with this "wrong path"!

Chu Yinyin continued to transmit her voice, "People can't teach people how to learn. But if you teach people how to do something, they'll understand after just one lesson."

"Let these rogue cultivators cause trouble a few more times, then we'll teach them a lesson and beat them up a few more times, and things will be easier to handle later."

The six independent cultivators standing opposite were four men and two women.

The leader was a burly man with a thick beard, holding an axe. He declared loudly, "Chief Chu, you don't need to overthink it!"

"We all do want the Origin Fragment, but we will not forcibly take this one from you!"

"That's something you earned through your own abilities, so it belongs to you!"

"We merely wish to pass it through our hands once, so that the four major sects of the Eastern Continent, as well as the royal family and monasteries of the Moon Kingdom, will know that we, as independent cultivators, also have the right to sit down and discuss the Origin Spirit Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu had roughly grasped the situation.

He even suspected that Jiang Zhi insisted on keeping the fragment of the Xuanhuang Origin in his hand and not letting him put it into the storage token, just so that these rogue cultivators could only watch longingly, unable to touch it, and then get a beating!
They are only allowed to "rob" when they have just come out of the Origin Spirit Realm and are returning to the sect. The purpose is to put the Origin Fragment in front of them and then hit them hard!

As Jiang Zhi listened to the burly man's words, a hint of mockery remained on her face.

“Since you [the wrong path] want to prove yourselves, aren’t there a little too few people here this time?” he said.

The burly man was quite frank, saying directly, "My group [Wrong Path] has always been loosely organized; we're all just gathered together for the same purpose."

"Many people simply decided not to come after hearing that this time it was the junior master of the Taoist sect who was personally protecting them."

In the end, only the six of us refused to give up.

Chu Huaixu listened to his words and could understand the subtext.

It's clear that these people acknowledge Jiang Zhi's strength!
"Moreover, according to the old woman's description, neither side will actually go all out. In the current world context, every high-level cultivator who dies represents a loss of combat power for our Xuanhuang Realm."

"On one hand, I was thinking about proving myself, and on the other hand, I was thinking about taking the opportunity to give them a warning."

"So, the worst outcome is just serious injury."

"Judging from what this person is saying, the others in [Wrong Path] feel there's no point in coming, only those six are still determined to do their thing and think the worst they can do is get a beating?"

So, just how strong is his junior grandmaster?
The war is about to break out!
Chu Huaixu didn't know how many of the six people opposite him were at the eighth or seventh realm.

He quietly asked Chu Yinyin, who was standing to the side. The old woman was stunned for a long time, but finally managed to reply: "It's not important."

The dead fox immediately understood—she didn't know either!

She's only at the sixth realm!

Ordinary seventh-realm cultivators aren't even qualified to come right now. If they really want to come to make up the numbers, they should at least be at the Great Perfection of the seventh realm, right?
As for the eighth realm, that's even more beyond Chu Yinyin's comprehension!
She simply transmitted her voice, saying, "Anyway, I know the leader. His name is Li Meishan. A few years ago, he was a rogue cultivator at the sixth level of the eighth realm. His current strength is unknown."

"In the 'Wrong Path', he is probably second only to Cheng Yuyan."

"So strong?" Chu Huaixu was somewhat surprised.

But that makes sense, since the [Wrong Path] is not limited to the Eastern Continent; it is a gathering of the strongest independent cultivators in the entire Xuanhuang Realm.

It's normal to have a few experts.

At this moment, Jiang Zhi stood with his hands behind his back.

The six people in front of them immediately disappeared. When they reappeared, they had scattered to six different locations.

Each of them possesses a unique natal magic weapon.

There were axes, halberds, spirit swords, pagodas, nine-section whips, and even a writing brush.

Jiang Zhi fought against six opponents single-handedly. As soon as they started fighting, Chu Yinyin immediately pulled Chu Huaixu away to escape, trying to fly as far away as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

He was pulled so suddenly by the old woman and the young girl that he flew around so wildly that he didn't even see what had just happened.

Chu Huaixu was completely unaware of what had happened and missed the first major event!

However, just now everyone was suspended below the sea of ​​clouds.

But now, the sky is cloudless for miles around!

The entire sea of ​​clouds was dispersed by the aftershocks.

When Chu Huaixu looked back, the six people on the other side of the "Wrong Path" had already gained a considerable advantage!
All that could be seen was Jiang Zhi, who was proving his Dao through killing, using nothing but deadly moves.

In their very first encounter, he had already grabbed one of them by the throat with his right hand and held him tightly!

Clearly, the "wrong path" has a significant advantage.

The six rogue cultivators used only their necks to quickly and forcefully control one of the Daoist junior uncle's hands!
