Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 972 - Breaking the Boulder

Cui Lixu was shocked when he received the news, but he quickly collected his thoughts and brought the disciples along to the dojo, and realized that Qin Nan was indeed here!

He instantly became excited.

He had treated Qin Nan as his greatest foe since long ago, and although Qin Nan had recently had great achievements, his hatred toward him had remained the same. Wasn’t it good news now that Qin Nan had shown himself instead?

BANG!

At that instant, a rift suddenly appeared as an old man whose hair was dyed with a strange red color, a middle-aged woman with pitch-black eyes, and a middle-aged man carrying over ten ancient sabers stepped out from it while unleashing peak Martial Progenitor Realm auras.

The ten elders and Cui Lixu were startled, before they greeted.

“Greetings, First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder!”

“Mm? The three great elders are here too?”

“This is getting interesting!”

“Qin Nan must have prepared himself for this. There’s no way he would randomly turn up at the Heaven-Saber Sect, right?”

The eyes of the geniuses from the other sects flickered.

They did not expect Qin Nan’s arrival to gather such a great crowd.

“So you’re Qin Nan? You’re not welcomed by the Heaven-Saber Sect. Leave at once if you don’t want to die!” The First Elder snapped with an icy gaze.

Even though he would like to murder Qin Nan straight away, it was highly suspicious since he had dared to show up at their territory, thus he had no choice but to withhold his urge for now.

Qin Nan remained calm as he faced the elders and inner disciples.

“Leave? First Elder has quite a great sense of humor, the opening of the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain is a spectacular event, and every sect is allowed to send their representative to participate. Why am I being excluded now? Is it just because of the personal conflict between us? Isn’t your Heaven-Saber Sect being too narrow-minded? The others would probably have a great laugh at you if they were told of what happened today!”

The words were fired like a chain of bullets.

The elders and disciples were infuriated. Cui Lixu immediately snapped, “First Elder, this guy is too stubborn and disrespectful. I suggest that we should make use of this chance to teach him a great lesson on behalf of the Dragon Emperor Clan.”

“I don’t care who’s supporting you from behind, but I will teach you how to behave yourself!”

The First Elder’s gaze sharpened as he waved and unleashed over a thousand saber intents aimed at Qin Nan.

Even an eighth-layer Martial Progenitor would be crippled by the attack.

Qin Nan remained stationary, as if he had no intention of resisting it.

The reason he had dared to show himself at the Heaven-Saber Sect was because of Tang Qingshan’s request. Therefore, he would settle the problems for him.

“He’s not trying to dodge it?”

The eyes of the elders and disciples widened.

At the last moment…

As the saber intent approached its target, a rapid piercing sound could be heard. The crowd could only see a flicker before a man appeared in front of Qin Nan, who swung his sleeves emitting a shocking force, shattering the saber intent.

The Imperial Exterminator, Tang Qingshan!

“Tang Qingshan? What are you doing?”

The First Elder and the others frowned after a brief astonishment, and so did Cui Lixu, who was aware that they somehow knew each other. However, he never thought that Tang Qingshan would interfere to help Qin Nan under such circumstances.

The disciples from the other factions were surprised. They had all heard the name Tang Qingshan before, who was currently the top inner disciple of the Heaven-Saber Sect. According to the rumors, whenever he drew out his saber, nothing would remain alive within five li around him.

“Qin Nan is my Junior Brother. I’ve invited him here to the Heaven-Saber Sect, which doesn’t break the rules of the sect! Do you still want to harm him? I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll not dwell on it further, but if any of you dare to attack him…”

Tang Qingshan’s expression became icy as the black saber on his back shuddered violently, “I’ll kill you all. Even though some of you are stronger than me, I’ll make sure you’re dead in the future!”

BANG!

A shocking murderous intent was unleashed, as if a peerless demon was uttering a roar facing the elders and disciples.

Challenging the entire crowd on his own!

The crowd shivered as they sensed the terrifying murderous intent.

“You!”

The elders were infuriated, but there was nothing they could say. They clearly knew Tang Qingshan’s characteristics, who would surely keep his words. When Tang Qingshan had first joined the sect, he had said that he would kill the top outer disciple, but everyone treated it as a joke. In the end, the disciple was killed after ten days.

Following that, a few other elders and inner disciples had also died to his saber.

Most importantly, even though Tang Qingshan’s Martial Spirit was weaker than Cui Lixu, the strength he possessed was terrifying and ridiculous, who had now become the Junior Brother of one of the Martial Monarchs of the Heaven-Saber Sect, thus granting him an outstanding status.

A while ago, many elders and Palace Leaders had teamed up together to condemn Tang Qingshan, but it was waived by the Martial Monarch.

“It seems like senior’s status at the Heaven-Saber Sect is more powerful than I thought.” Qin Nan nodded upon seeing the reaction of the crowd.

“Come!” Tang Qingshan glanced at Qin Nan before he headed toward the arched door. He was planning to lead Qin Nan into the Heaven-Saber Sect through the main entrance!

“Hold it!” The First Elder yelled.

“First Elder, you’re trying to stop me?” Tang Qingshan’s eyes turned cold as he reached his hand toward the grip of his saber.

The elders and Cui Lixu who were about to say something shivered seeing his action, causing them to remain silent.

“I…” The First Elder took a deep breath and said, “Tang Qingshan, even if he’s your Junior Brother, granting him the right to come to the Heaven-Saber Sect, he still needs to pass the test of the Saber King's Boulder! If his saber intent is not strong enough, he won’t be able to enter. That’s the rule! Besides, since he’s ranked in the top three of the silver-grade enemies, his saber intent needs to be at least half a zhang deep!”

The crowd was startled, especially the disciples from the other factions.

There was no way Qin Nan’s saber intent could leave a half-a-zhang deep mark on the Saber King's Boulder!

Even the strongest saber artist from a few other factions had only managed to achieve half a meter!

The First Elder was trying to use another way to hinder Qin Nan’s access to the Heaven-Saber Sect.

“Damn it, this Tang Qingshan has such a strong murderous intent, and the support from the Martial Monarch, there’s no way I would have the guts to harm Qin Nan with him in the way. Besides, Qin Nan won’t be able to enter the Heaven-Saber Sect due to the First Elder’s demands, which means I won’t have any chance to deal with him. I guess I can only mock him when he fails to meet the target…”

Cui Lixu was depressed, as he had initially thought that he finally had a chance to get rid of Qin Nan.

Tang Qingshan turned his head toward Qin Nan.

“Sure, First Elder, I hope you will stick to your words.”

Qin Nan brought his fists together.

“Humph, I’m the First Elder of the Heaven-Saber Sect, do you think I’m treating it as a joke? As long as you are able to leave a half-a-zhang deep mark on the Saber King's Boulder, you will be treated the same way as the disciples from other factions…” The First Elder harrumphed with a disdainful face.

However, before he could finish, Qin Nan already made his move.

He reached out with his right hand and executed a slash at the Saber King's Boulder with a shocking saber intent.

The crowd was dumbfounded by the loud explosion.

The magnificent Saber King’s Boulder was slashed perfectly in half.

The Saber King's Boulder had been slashed in half!
