Chapter 837: Chapter 799: Master Cuts Down Disciple? (Subscription Requested)_1
The faces of Ling Luoyan and the others tensed up upon hearing this, and they clenched their fists quietly…
The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak shouted coldly, "Are you actually planning to use Sect Master Mu as leverage against us?"
Muhuan's eyes looked as if they were about to spew fire as he chimed in, "The three of you are sect masters, after all, isn't it utterly shameless to resort to such disgusting measures?"
They never expected that these three figures at the sect master level would stoop to such vomit-inducing tactics…
The Sect Master of Tianliu Sect, upon hearing this, seemed to be provoked, with a hint of madness on his face, and laughed out loud, "Hahaha! Sect Master? Take a closer look at our side. The over twenty thousand disciples we brought are all annihilated! Can you still call us sect masters?"
As these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire space instantly dropped to freezing point…
The gaze of Sect Master of the Earth Abyss Sect was also firmly fixed on Xu Sheng, and he furiously condemned, "This vermin is the reason for all of this! If it weren't for him, how could our disciples end up with such a fate!"
Right after his words fell, Yun Churan approached from behind, her left hand covering her still unhealed chest, and with an icy tone, she vetoed, "Shut up. You three great sects secretly joined forces attempting to annihilate our Xuantian Sect, is there any reasoning to that? The outcome now is nothing but retribution for you all!!"
The Sect Master of Lieqiong Sect scoffed coldly and, clasping his personal sword, swung it forward, sending a massive wave of sword Qi tearing through the air towards her…
Seeing the incoming sword Qi, Yun Churan gripped her personal sword tightly in her right hand and with a forceful slash, "Bang!" she extinguished it…
At this moment, the Sect Master of Tianliu Sect sneered, "Regardless, Mu Qingge is still in our hands. If you don't want him to die, then do as we say!"
After speaking, the longsword against Mu Qingge's neck pressed closer, slicing through his skin and a trickle of fresh blood began to seep out…
The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak hurried forward, attempting to intervene and shouted, "Stop!"
But before he could reach them, he was sent retreating back by a sword strike from the Sect Master of Lieqiong Sect who sinisterly warned, "If anyone dares to step forward, don't blame us for slaughtering Mu Qingge!"
His words halted Ling Luoyan and the others who were about to make their move…
Xu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking to himself, "At such a close distance, even if I burst forth with my maximum speed, I couldn't possibly save Mu Qingge!"
They had indeed cornered these peak masters!
Seeing this, the Sect Master of Tianliu Sect revealed a triumphant smile, his tone half mocking, half praising, "Worthy of a sect that values loyalty."
He had already sensed that the cultivation level of this Xuantian Sect disciple had reached the legendary Void Refining Stage…
If they didn't slay him! All three sect masters would eventually meet a gruesome end!
Ling Luoyan, with her beautiful eyes fixed on the Sect Master of Tianliu Sect, demanded solemnly, "What do you want us to do in order to release Sect Master Mu?"
The Sect Master of Tianliu Sect chuckled lightly, "It's quite simple. That Xuantian Sect boy must have killed quite a few of our disciples. As long as any one of you slays him, I'll release Mu Qingge!"
He was eager to see whether this Xuantian Sect disciple would willingly let himself be cut down or lash out in rage and slay these Xuantian Sect peak masters!
Either outcome would be delightful to him!
On hearing this, Xu Sheng's ink-black eyes suddenly gleamed, thinking to himself, "As expected."
These people must have discovered my cultivation level, hence why they spared Mu Qingge's life as a threat!
The peak masters of the Xuantian Sect, however, turned grim. Luo Qingyang decisively denied, "Asking us to slay our own sect's disciple? That's absolutely impossible!"
Muhuan also shouted coldly, "Exactly! You wish! This will never happen!"
The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak said sternly, "If we really were to do it, what kind of face and dignity would we have left in the eyes of other Xuantian Sect disciples?"
Hearing their responses, the Sect Master of Tianliu Sect's expression didn't change as he stated indifferently, "Is that so? Then Mu Qingge is no longer of much use. Slaughter him!"
"In that case, we must take a gamble!"
After speaking, he quickly raised his personal sword, intending to decapitate him with a single strike...
Suddenly, the silent Yun Churan called out, "Wait!"
Seeing the Sect Master of Tianliu Sect across from him, he smiled and thought to himself, "Oh? Seems my gamble paid off! Was all that indifference just an act?"
The Sect Masters of Lieqiong Sect and Earth Abyss Sect both took deep breaths...
If these fellows truly didn't care about Mu Qingge's well-being, then once the latter was killed, the Xuantian Sect disciples at the Void Refining Stage would surely attack immediately!
At that time, even if the three of them worked together, under the threat of the terrifying Void Refining Stage, only annihilation awaited!
The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak furrowed his brow and said, "Junior Sister Yun! What are you doing?"
Muhuan also chastised angrily, "Junior Sister Yun, we absolutely cannot agree to his terms! I fear that even if we exchange in this manner for Sect Master Mu's life, he will still live his entire life under a shadow!"
Ling Luoyan also hurriedly said, "Yes! Junior Sister Yun, you should know the nature of Sect Master Mu!"
They all knew too well that Mu Qingge's pride lay in not wanting to owe his life to the sacrifice of a disciple...
Most importantly, even if they killed Xu Sheng, it was not guaranteed that these three would keep their promise to let Mu Qingge go!
Yun Churan pursed her tender, soft lips, ignoring Ling Luoyan and the others' attempts at consolation, and stared at the Sect Master of Tianliu Sect saying, "If we kill him, will you keep your promise and release Sect Master Mu?"
The Sect Master of Tianliu Sect chuckled lightly, "Of course! I give you my word as the Sect Master of Tianliu Sect!"
The other two Sect Masters watched the scene unfold with a sly smile on their faces...
They were waiting for just such a moment; even if they honored the promise and released Mu Qingge, without the hindrance of this Void Refining Stage disciple, wouldn't it be easy to cut down these Peak Masters?
So, in the end, wasn't Mu Qingge's fate still death?
Immediately afterward, Yun Churan's beautiful eyes turned towards Xu Sheng, and their gazes met...
Xu Sheng was stunned and exclaimed, "Master, you..."
Yun Churan started infusing her personal sword with a great amount of spiritual power, causing a humming sound to emanate from the sword...
She spoke in an incredibly cold tone, "Xu Sheng, I have taught you for so long, it's about time you repaid your master's kindness, isn't it?"
After finishing, her ice-blue eyes glimmered, as if she was trying to communicate something...
Xu Sheng's dark eyes also grew slightly stern, giving a bitter smile, "Master, are you really going to attack your disciple for the sake of Sect Master Mu?"
Yun Churan slowly stepped in front of Xu Sheng, pursed her thin lips and said, "Are you blaming your master?"
Looking at Yun Churan close before him, he shook his head, "No… how could I blame..."
But before he could finish speaking, he saw Yun Churan grip her sword, which shone with a cold light, and thrust it directly through Xu Sheng's heart…
The latter's eyes widened, his face registering pure disbelief…
Then, with a "pfft!" sound, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body beginning to collapse powerlessly towards the ground…
Looking down at Xu Sheng falling to the ground, Yun Churan slowly turned away and said in a cold voice, "That will be sufficient!"
