Chapter 924: Sect Leader's Advancement

So he broke through the barrier directly and rushed out; fortunately, he arrived in time, for had he been a step later, the Tiance Sword Mansion would truly have been wiped out.

"Is this Duan Tianming?"

"That's right, it is him. Looking at him, he has already become a Dharma Cultivator."

The people from the Twelve Gates could not help but retreat a few steps; after all, they were rebelling by forcing their way into the Tiance Sword Mansion, and now that a formidable figure had appeared on the other side, how could they not panic?

And after Duan Tianming came out of seclusion, he unleashed his power, intending to intimidate these people before him.

"Liang Lao, we have sixty years of friendship, I did not expect that you would be the first to lead people to slaughter our Sword Mansion," Duan Tianming said, looking at Liang Lao.

"Old Duan, it is true that we have a friendship, but you have been in seclusion for decades; look at your Sword Mansion, what has it become?" Liang Lao shouted in a deep voice: "Not to mention suppressing other sects, there are over twenty families in the secular world alone that have been wiped out by your Sword Mansion."

"Twenty-some families, hundreds of lives; the Jiangnan Xuanwu Pavilion, the Three Sects Six Schools Twelve Gates, have long since despised your conduct. If I did not come forward to oppose this, I would be ashamed of the martial arts I have learned," Liang Jinsheng shouted sternly.

Duan Tianming did not speak; he turned to look at Chen Yu: "You are Chen Yu?"

"It is indeed me. Congratulations to Sect Leader Duan for breaking through to the Primordial Qi Realm and emerging from seclusion," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

Duan Tianming was now a Dharma Cultivator of the Primordial Qi Realm; the reason he looked young was likely due to having consumed some kind of Pill.

However, Chen Yu truly did not hold a Dharma Cultivator who had just advanced to the Primordial Qi Realm in high regard.

"To advance to the Primordial Qi Realm at such a young age, the younger generation is to be feared," Duan Tianming nodded slightly.

"I also admit that the Tiance Sword Mansion was in the wrong first, but my Sword Mansion has been passed down for hundreds of years and cannot be destroyed just like that. I ask Mr. Chen to stop here, and let the grievances between us be settled," Duan Tianming said.

"What about the dozens of families and hundreds of lives harmed by your Sword Mansion? What about Huizhao Shitai who was murdered by you? How should this blood debt be repaid?" Chen Yu said.

"I will naturally find a way to compensate. During the years I was in seclusion, all secular affairs were controlled by Wang Zhonglou, and I did not expect him to go astray," Duan Tianming sighed slightly: "The responsibility for this matter lies with me. After the matter is settled, I will confine myself to reflect on my mistakes."

"With so many lives lost, you think a simple confinement will suffice?" Chen Yu laughed: "Your standards for yourself are truly low."

"Then what do you want?" Duan Tianming stared at Chen Yu: "You killed my sect's disciples, causing my sect's strength to be cut by more than half; I have already let that go, what else do you want?"

"Then should I thank you for not holding it against me?" Chen Yu sneered: "If you were truly a person of great kindness and virtue, this matter would end here."

"However," Chen Yu stepped forward, releasing a sharp murderous intent: "How are you any different from Wang Zhonglou? If I give you another ten years, your Tiance Sword Mansion will rise again; will you not come looking for trouble with me then?"

"Heh, you are a Dharma Cultivator now; when one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. In ten years, the Sword Mansion will only become even more unscrupulous. Do you think I would leave this root of trouble for myself?"

"Then what do you want?" A flash of light appeared in Duan Tianming's eyes, and murderous intent suddenly emerged.

"Disperse your Cultivation, disband the Tiance Sword Mansion, and you may keep your life to linger on," Chen Yu sneered: "Other than that, there is no other choice."

"Then I am sorry," Duan Tianming sneered, and with a point of his right finger, a Moon Wheel appeared; it was a semi-circular curved blade.

Moreover, after cultivation and refining, the curved blade had already begun to possess a Spirit; the blade was seen rotating around him once before floating by his side.

The blade edge faced Chen Yu, and a trace of killing intent faintly emanated from the curved blade.

A trace of faint baleful aura surged from the blade body; Chen Yu stared at the blade and said slowly: "This blade of yours was refined using Yellow Springs Water, wasn't it?"

"Heh, what a Sword Mansion; it is truly rotten from top to bottom. Even the Sect Leader uses unscrupulous means to take shortcuts, let alone the disciples under him. It seems that I must destroy you all today."

"That depends on whether you have the ability," Duan Tianming laughed, his figure flashing as he rapidly closed in on Chen Yu.

Everyone retreated, leaving distance for the two; their moods were somewhat agitated, as this was, after all, a battle between genuine Dharma Cultivators.

As Martial Artists, they might only have this one chance in their lives to encounter a battle of this level; they wanted to see clearly just how strong the legendary Dharma Cultivators really were, and whether they could truly destroy the heavens and the earth.

A black-blue mist surged into the scene, shrouding the figures of the two.

Once the mist appeared, the plaza instantly turned into an Otherworldly Realm.

Chen Yu stood within this world, and countless terrifying faces made of mist appeared all around; it was as if this were Hell.

This Duan Tianming, who boasted of being the leader of the righteous path, appeared to have taken quite a few shortcuts.

Suddenly, two terrifying ghost faces attacked Chen Yu; these two ghost faces had their mouths wide open, looking ferocious.

Chen Yu slashed down with his sword, and the two faces let out a scream before disappearing on the spot.

"Hahaha, Chen Yu, this is my own Boundless Realm; here, I am the master, and I am afraid you will have no chance of walking out."

Duan Tianming's laughter came from the black mist; this guy had just been an image of a serious righteous person, but now his laughter was filled with mystery and treachery.

"You must have practiced an Evil Technique; no wonder you were able to break through to the Primordial Qi Realm," Chen Yu sneered: "Martial Artists are limited by what they can comprehend from cultivation techniques, so the Half-step Qi Realm is already the limit."

"Since ancient times, those who want to enter cultivation through martial arts are one in ten thousand; the reason you were able to break through is because you practiced an Evil Technique and took a shortcut, right?"

"Chen Yu, you are indeed very smart. That's right, I did take a shortcut, but so what? People in the world will only know that you broke through the limit; no one will care how you broke through."

"If I kill you, even fewer people will know, haha."

Several more faces rushed over violently, and at the same time, that circular blade also attacked Chen Yu.

Chen Yu swung the sword Lichen in his hand, sealing the attack with a strike, slashing down those several faces, and the Lichen in his hand clashed with that weapon.

Ding! Sparks flew everywhere, and the curved blade disappeared.

Chen Yu gripped the sword Lichen tightly; the mist before him was becoming increasingly thick. Suddenly, the black smoke filled the air, and countless black smoke gathered rapidly, followed by the formation of a giant, ferocious ghost.

The ghost swung a giant object in its hand, attacking Chen Yu violently.

Chen Yu sidestepped and retreated, *whoosh*... following the giant blade in the ghost's hand, a vacuum zone appeared before him.

"This is already your limit, isn't it?" Chen Yu laughed: "Creating your own realm? Do you really think you are a god?"
