Chapter 425: Chapter 29: Cutting Down the Proud, Exalting the Divine Name_3

The middle-aged man panicked, his eyes revealing a fear that if the young master’s older brother found out that his own brother had chased after the Daoist Charm Blood Fruit and was killed here, it was uncertain how furiously he would rage!

And as the guardians, they could hardly absolve themselves of blame.

Li Hao, hearing the middle-aged man’s words, picked up the sword from the ground. The sword was silver all over, beautifully crafted, and contained a faint glimmer of silver light.

He heard the middle-aged man’s words, glanced at him, and casually tossed the Divine Sword away.

With a whoosh, the sword light suddenly pierced through the air, like a shooting star, it surged into the Sword Tide and slashed directly at the middle-aged man’s head.

The middle-aged man was terrified; he pulled out a Saint Heart talisman and burned it, transforming into the shadow of a black bell that enveloped his body.

But the next moment, the bell’s chime vibrated, ripped apart by the silver light, and it struck directly toward his narrowing eyes.

This Divine Sword was extremely sharp. In Li Hao’s hands, it exhibited power far surpassing what the young man had previously shown, splitting the middle-aged man in half!

Even the Divine Soul within him was severed and erased.

“You kid, you’re decisive when you strike; too bad you let that Defying Fate one get away.”

Ji Yun Ge had been hiding on Li Hao, not revealing himself, and seeing him quickly kill off the Qin Family’s junior brought out a smile.

“They won’t go back to report, will they?”

Li Hao frowned, a bit worried that dealing with the lesser could bring the greater, which was quite troublesome.

“Of course they will.”

Ji Yun Ge said, “Otherwise, what would be the point of the Qin Family sending that Defying Fate Realm figure to accompany the young child? However, it seems they don’t plan to go back.”

While he was speaking, a plume of black smoke shot up from a mountain ridge in the distance, appearing to be some kind of signal.

“That’s the Qin Family’s call for help. It seems there are other Qin Family experts nearby.”

Ji Yun Ge spoke, “Looks like they plan to seek revenge on the spot.”

…

In front of a crimson-red mountain cliff, there was a huge hole in the cliff, revealing a section of dozens of zhang of twisted, dead vines, seeming to gently twist and convulse.

Outside the mountain cliff on the low hilltops around, many figures were gathered, each dressed differently, all the young hotshots from various tribes and families within the Great Wilderness Heaven.

They were looking at the body of the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King, their eyes flashing with excitement, waiting for its emergence.

Originally, they came here to compete for the Daoist Charm Blood Fruit, but they unexpectedly discovered the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King undergoing a metamorphosis, condensing its Second Blood Body.

Now, as its Second Blood Body was halfway condensed, it couldn’t stop even though it sensed these intruders — it was helpless.

And they did not interrupt, quietly waiting for the Second Blood Body to condense which was akin to absorbing most of the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King’s essence and medicinal power, much like a newly grown millennial blood ginseng, ten times more precious than the Daoist Charm Blood Fruit.

Therefore, when the Daoist Charm Blood Fruit was seized, not many pursued it.

Apart from focusing on the soon-to-be-born Second Blood Body, it was also because the Ancient Holy Clan, the Qin Family, had sent a young master to pursue and kill.

For a Daoist Charm Blood Fruit, they repressed the urge to clash with the Qin Family, but the Second Blood Body was different.

“That Tian Yu with the Qin Family, Qin Tianchen, is also here; it’s probably hard to snatch it now.”

“Depend on fortune, that Crimson Blood Vine Demon King is not easy to provoke, and there are other families too; let’s see who acts first.”

Many people’s gazes were fixed on several outstanding figures within the area, among them one figure was particularly noticeable — that was Tian Yu with the Ancient Holy Clan, the Qin Family, Qin Tianchen.

Rumors had it that he was born with an Innate Holy Bone, his talent transcendent, a potential Ask Sage, able to cultivate at three years of age, reaching Divine Travel Realm by ten.

Then, at fourteen, he stepped into the rank of Celestial Master, by seventeen entered the Three Immortalities, defiantly slain Demon Kings, utterly ferocious.

Now only twenty-four, his strength was already comparable to many of the older generation, dominating a region, and it was said that he had recently ventured deep into the Great Wilderness to slay an ancient beast all by himself!

Among the crowd, Qin Tianchen stood out with a noble air, his figure imposing, quietly staring at the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King inside the cave.

Not far from him, several other figures occasionally swept their gazes over him, their eyes revealing solemnity.

It was said that he had already reached the limit of the Power Passage Realm, mastering the Divine Power State, and it was a surprise that he also came here.

While everyone was waiting, suddenly, in the distance, a plume of black smoke soared high into the sky.

The two elders next to Qin Tianchen, seeing this, were both startled and their expressions changed immediately; the direction was exactly where their second young master had chased after.

Qin Tianchen glanced over with a corner of his eye and noticed, his indifferent face momentarily froze, then his eyes suddenly widened as a vast aura erupted from him, shooting up towards the sky.

“Eldest young master!”

Far away, a Divine Soul sped over hastily; it was the very elder who had earlier attacked Li Hao.

He saw Qin Tianchen, who had just soared into the air, and hurriedly said, “Young Master, someone is trying to snatch the Tao Rhyme Blood Fruit and wants to kill the young lord.”

“Who?!”

On hearing this, Qin Tianchen’s eyes narrowed. He had come here to protect his younger brother and help him obtain the Tao Rhyme Blood Fruit. Now, someone dared to try to kill his brother?

All those who had come to vie for the prize were still here; no one had left.

Seeing the old servant with only his Divine Soul remaining, his face changed, and he said, “Where’s Tian Yu?”

“I, I only escaped with Defying Fate…” The old servant immediately began to falter, his heart tense with fear.

At this sight, righteous fury erupted in Qin Tianchen’s eyes like thunderbolts, “You mean to say you deserted my brother to save yourself?”

“Young Master, please go and save the young lord…” the old servant pleaded urgently. He had used his chance to escape through Defying Fate, but the young lord, being only at the Dao Heart Realm, was likely in dire straits. He only hoped he wasn’t too late to make it there.

Qin Tianchen’s face darkened with loathing; he wanted to slap the man dead, but there was no time to hold him to account. He turned and took a step, intending to rush to the rescue, but then saw a figure speeding toward him from a distance, clad in a golden silk robe and holding a gleaming silver sword in hand.

This figure was dressed exactly like his younger brother.

But it was a different young man.

Li Hao, after escaping from the great battle in Liangzhou to the Mo River, was already in tattered clothes. After killing the youth, he had stripped off the other’s clothing. It was, after all, treasured apparel, which could at least cover his body, and he replaced his own torn robe with it.

As for the Divine Armor, having been damaged, he couldn’t be bothered to take it.

Now in pursuit, his intention was both preemptive and to prevent his own escape from being investigated, risking his pursuers searching beyond the boundaries of the Great Wilderness Heaven and thus drawing the attention of the Dayu Divine Dynasty.

“So many people?”

Li Hao cast his gaze about and saw figures on all the hills nearby.

His gaze locked onto the elder’s Divine Soul and seeing him weeping before a young man, he instantly grasped that this youth was likely the one to whom the elder was appealing for help.

“Was it you?!”

Qin Tianchen saw Li Hao dressed in his younger brother’s clothes with his brother’s sword in hand, and immediately his eyes reddened with fury, his previously ice-cold demeanor now ablaze with anger.

“Who are you?!”

The two elders by Qin Tianchen’s side hastened over as well and, seeing Li Hao’s attire, were shocked to their core and bellowed in anger.

The sudden turn of events startled everyone, and all those nearby waiting for the birth of the Blood Body from the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King turned to gape in astonishment.

Could it be that the young lord Qin Tianchen had pursued had been slain?

The clothes that Li Hao wore were immediately recognized; not only the clothes but also the weapons were gone, clearly indicating the person was no more!

“Who is that young man, so young?”

“Looks to be in his teens, which clan’s prodigy might he be?”

“To dare kill someone from Ancient the Qin Family and even have the audacity to pursue them, that guy must have guts!”

The crowd, in utter shock, engaged in stunned discussions.

“Listen well, I come from Ancient Divine Clan, the Heavenly Clan!”

Li Hao, upon hearing the elder’s question, thought to himself that they were leading him into a conversation; he had come wanting to conceal his identity. If he just left, he wouldn’t know what means these Ancient Saint Clans might have to trace him to being from outside the Great Wilderness Heaven, which wouldn’t be good.

Since you all are of the Saint Clans, then isn’t it reasonable for me to pose as one of the Divine Clan?

As everyone heard Li Hao’s boldly stated reply, silence fell upon the world, and they were all dumbfounded.

Ancient Divine Clan?

Had they heard wrong–such a name they had never heard before!

Within the Great Wilderness Heaven, could there be such an ancient Divine Clan?

Everyone was astounded, feeling as if their eyes had been opened.

Qin Tianchen too was taken aback, his enraged expression faltering with a hint of curiosity. Ancient Divine Clan?

He had never heard of such a clan from his family elders. The Saint Clans were so-called because their ancestors were Ancient Sages!

They each carried the bloodline inheritance of an Ancient Sage.

This young man in front of him claimed to be of a Divine Clan–could it be he was a descendant of gods?

But are there gods in this world? One has never even heard of such a thing!
