Chapter 848: Chapter 848

As soon as Cao Man’s words fell, a voice came from outside the door. It was an old man’s voice, extremely cold and filled with anger. To slander the Nine Swords Sect under the watchful eyes of many has a significant impact on the reputation of the Nine Swords Sect.

Although the Nine Swords Sect only dispatched disciples of the True One Realm from the nine Sword Mountains, as it concerns the territory of the True Martial Sect, it was necessary for the elders of the Nine Swords Sect to follow secretly.

"Haha, I knew there would be others. However many you have, come out together. Young master here doesn’t have time to waste with you all!"

"Wang Yang is a friend of my True Martial Sect, taken away by people of your Nine Swords Sect in True Dragon City. If word gets out, wouldn’t our True Martial Sect be a laughingstock? No matter how many of you there are, come at me together; I can handle it alone!"

Cao Man saw the elder of the Nine Swords Sect, who was a Heavenly Immortal, appear. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a hint of pride. This detail caught Wang Yang’s eye, and he nodded secretly.

No wonder Cao Man openly posted Wang Yang’s portrait in the tavern, it was to draw out the hidden members of the Nine Swords Sect who entered True Dragon City.

Otherwise, how could the True Martial Sect, with its influence, not know Wang Yang’s whereabouts?

"So it seems that the Young Sect Master intends to be our Nine Swords Sect’s enemy today?"

"An enemy? You wish!"

Cao Man’s voice was completely unrestrained, reverberating in the tavern. Everyone’s faces changed drastically; these words were tantamount to declaring war on the Nine Swords Sect.

Though the Seven Sects and Eight Factions are fairly evenly matched, there are a few special sects whose strength is not inferior to Celestial Mountain.

The True Martial Sect is one of them.

Although not possessing the complete inheritance of the Ancient Divine Beasts Lineage, the True Martial Sect possesses the strongest foundational resources of the Divine Beast Lineage!

The bloodline spiritual power of the Ancient Demon Race and the Divine Beast Lineage!

This not only means mastering the divine skills and magic techniques of the Ancient Demon Veins, but also comprehending the complete power of the laws within their bloodlines!

Therefore, the current world’s limitations of incomplete laws do not exist for the True Martial Sect!

"Impudent! A junior like you dares to speak wildly and disrespect our Nine Swords Sect, this is intolerable!"

The elder of the Nine Swords Sect roared with anger, pointing at Cao Man and scolding him. Just as the old man’s voice fell, a few more powerful auras suddenly appeared in the void.

"Old Liu, it seems your little tavern won’t survive today. But after today, I’ll help you build another one, twice the size. How about it?"

Facing the increasing number of strong figures from the Nine Swords Sect, Cao Man seemed indifferent, without a trace of panic. He raised his head and greeted the storyteller, Old Liu.

"Since the Young Sect Master has spoken, this old man naturally can’t say anything more. All of you present, don’t watch the excitement. It’s still not too late to leave. Once the battle starts, your lives will be at the mercy of fate!"

Old Liu gave a bitter smile. The situation is extremely tense and could explode at any moment. The tavern is surely going to turn into ruins, but fortunately, Cao Man promised to build a new one.

In fact, if Old Liu were willing, he could easily resolve this conflict. With his prestige, even Cao Man and Xiang Zhen would give him face.

However, Old Liu had long since distanced himself from the grudges and disputes between the Seven Sects and Eight Factions. Over the years, he only took interest in storytelling and revealing historical truths and secrets.

The reason he stayed in the True Dragon City under the True Martial Sect was that the True Martial Sect was the only one among the Seven Sects and Eight Factions that didn’t mind the contents of Old Liu’s stories.

In other words, the True Martial Sect was unafraid of historical truths. Even if it were the unbecoming past of the True Martial Sect, they didn’t care.

But the True Martial Sect’s indifference doesn’t mean that the other Seven Sects and Eight Factions don’t care!

Old Liu’s words reminded everyone present. Those still intending to watch the excitement quickly left, fearing that the aftermath of the battle might affect them and bring them calamity.

People were leaving the tavern in succession, but Old Liu did not leave. Instead, he sat down, acting as though he was just here to watch the excitement. He pulled a seven or eight-year-old girl in front of him and formed a seal with one hand, an invisible barrier surrounding the two of them.

This scene naturally caught Cao Man’s eye, and he nodded gently in acknowledgment. He then stretched and turned to Wang Yang.

"Fellow Daoist, you don’t need to make a move in a moment. Just stand where you are and watch. After we handle these people, follow me to see the Sect Master!"

Wang Yang nodded and agreed readily. Having a free protector is naturally a good thing. And becoming friends with the True Martial Sect would make it much easier to act in the Western Territory in the future.

"It seems that most people have arrived!"

Cao Man murmured softly after observing those who hadn’t left the tavern; there were about a dozen people left. These should be the people from the nine Sword Mountains of the Nine Swords Sect.

But judging by the color of their robes, people from two Sword Mountains still hadn’t appeared.

The strongest Red Sword Mountain and the fastest Black Sword Mountain!

These two Sword Mountains could truly showcase the strength of the Nine Swords Sect!

Unfortunately, Cao Man didn’t have time to wait for them. Wang Yang had to participate in the Dragon Martial Tournament tomorrow, and later they still had to go to the True Martial Sect.

"I’ll give you three breaths to form a Sword Array, so you can’t say that I bullied you!"

Cao Man casually said, suddenly lifting his right foot and stomping down hard. The ground beneath the feet of Wang Yang and Su Yue shattered instantly, but at the same time, a barrier descended, protecting the two within.

The elder of the Green Sword Mountain within the Nine Swords Sect first spoke, giving a low shout. All the members of the Nine Swords Sect acted simultaneously.

No one felt that they were bullying with numbers.

Because Cao Man’s cultivation level was too terrifying,

And his attitude was extremely aggressive. No one wanted to fight this legendary Asura unless absolutely necessary. Though Cao Man’s realm was only at the Mid celestial Immortal stage and most of the Nine Swords Sect’s elders were at this stage, some were even at the Late celestial Immortal stage.

But they still chose to form a sword array together, proving their lack of confidence in facing Cao Man alone.

"True One Realm disciples, guard the formation’s eye, do not enter the array!"

At the elder’s command, Lin Fan and the other True One Realm disciples responded in unison. In front of a celestial, a True One is insignificant!

Cao Man crossed his arms in front of his chest, his eyes flashing coldly with disdain. One breath had already passed, yet he remained standing, waiting for the formation to complete.

It clearly demonstrated Cao Man’s pride!

Rain descends from the Ninth Heaven!

An elder of the Nine Swords Sect formed a Sword technique seal, and the other elders followed suit. Suddenly, within the sword array, a rain of swords fell from the sky, densely covering the void!

Cao Man sneered coldly, neither dodging nor escaping, letting the rain of swords strike. Sword Qi wildly slashed at Cao Man’s skin, his clothes instantly tearing, but not a single mark appeared on his skin!

Not even a drop of blood was shed!

"With this level of Sword Qi, don’t embarrass yourselves. If you don’t have other killer moves, I will make my move!"

Cao Man’s words were disparaging. The Sword Qi from the sword array couldn’t even scratch his defenses or leave a single sword mark.

"Ignorant junior, suffer death!"

Cao Man’s words completely enraged the elders of the Nine Swords Sect. Suddenly, the Sword Qi in the sky transformed, condensing into Sword Gang. It split the void, slashing towards him.

"Now that’s more like it!"

Such a sword array was somewhat recognized by Cao Man. If the Nine Swords Sect didn’t have any tactics, it would be disappointing.

Cao Man’s body shuddered, and his bare upper body was covered in white patterns, intersecting and crisscrossing. A dragon’s roar erupted from within him!

As the white patterns appeared, overwhelming killing intent pervaded the space. Wang Yang’s pupils constricted, recognizing the White Tiger Killing Patterns!

"There’s no time to waste with you. I’ll leave one alive to bring a message to your Sect Master. From now on, the territory of our True Martial Sect is forbidden to the Nine Swords Sect. If any do step in, I will kill each one!"
