King of Nine Heavens

The light from the Nine-vein Divine Sword clashed with the arrows shot out from the compass and immediately exploded. The arrow was smashed into smithereens, and the Nine-vein Divine Sword's light also disappeared. However, the Nine-vein Divine Sword, as though it had entered a place devoid of people, continued to rush towards Spiritual Master Arcanum like lightning.    

How was it possible that he had broken through his strongest martial skill?    

Adept Arcanum stared at the sword-light shooting towards him, a look of disbelief on his face. What was even more astonishing was that the sword-light had actually broken through his protective formation, passing through his body and leaving behind a plate-sized hole.    

Just as the sword aura pierced through his chest, Daoist Master Arcanum saw clearly that it was actually not a sword aura, but the Nine-vein Divine Sword itself. It was just that his flying speed was too fast, causing him to mistake it for a sword aura.    

The Nine-vein Divine Sword pierced through Taoist Master Arcanum's chest and felt Gao Feng's call. It drew a beautiful arc behind Taoist Master Arcanum and returned to Gao Feng's hands, while Gao Feng carried it on his shoulder.    

Even though blood was gushing out wildly, Spiritual Master Arcanum did not immediately die. He began to form a seal with his hands, in an attempt to repair the wounds on his body, but found that it was useless, even the bleeding did not stop.    

How could this be?    

It shouldn't be like this. It wasn't the first time someone had pierced through his body. Every time his body is penetrated, he would be treated urgently and would recover quickly. But this time …    

Adept Arcanum stared, stupefied, at the hole in his chest. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.    

Looking at Daoist Master Arcanum's expression, Gao Feng sneered and said, "Old fart, my Divine Weapon has a Power of Thunder attached to it, causing serious damage to the tissues on your body. Not to mention you are just a clone, even if this noble one was injured, you wouldn't be able to repair the wounds on your body for a while.    

"Bastard, I'll kill you!"    

Even if they died, was there any difference between their deaths and unsightly deaths? Hearing Gao Feng's words, Daoist Master Arcanum became furious. He didn't even bother to heal his wounds as he waved the compass in his hand and charged towards Gao Feng.    

When Gao Feng saw that Daoist Master Arcanum's aura was obviously weaker than before, he taunted, "If you're bragging, you might lose your tongue. Now that you've crossed the river, you can't even protect yourself. What are you going to use to fight with me!"    

Hearing these words, Adept Arcanum's heart trembled, and his face turned ashen. Before he was injured, he was not Gao Feng's match. Now that he was seriously injured, how could he possibly fight him?    

Rather than being humiliated here, it would be better to …    

Thinking of this, a Transfering Talisman appeared in Taoist Master Arcanum's other hand and he immediately crushed it.    

Seeing the Transfering Talisman in Spiritual Master Xuanji's hands, Gao Feng was slightly startled, but just as he wanted to take action, Spiritual Master Xuanji had already disappeared, angry Gao Feng so much that he swung his sword and charged towards the Xuanji Sect disciples who had not left yet.    

"Ah …"    

Several Xuanji Sect disciples' bodies exploded and they died, but Chu Qichen was still able to escape.    

Chu Qichen saw the Transfering Talisman in Taoist Master Xuanji's hands, so he made a prompt decision. He also summoned the Transfering Talisman, and without waiting for Gao Feng's attack, he quickly crushed it into pieces and left.    

In a large building that was tens of thousands of kilometers away, a white-haired, white-bearded man sat cross-legged in the middle of a large hall with a white robe. Suddenly, a mouthful of fresh blood surged out, scaring the female disciple beside him into losing her composure and couldn't help but cry out: "Master, what's wrong?"    

"Qingcheng, I'm fine. It's just that there was a small mistake when I was cultivating." The white-bearded old man comforted him.    

The white-bearded old man was Adept Arcanum himself. His clone had been injured, and his original body had been affected as well. Even though his clone had returned to his original body, his aura was still much weaker than usual.    

Chu Qingcheng did not know that Taoist Master Arcanum possessed a clone, so she thought that his cultivation was really affected by a small mistake while he was cultivating. She did not take it to heart, merely giving him a few instructions before taking her leave.    

"Bam!"    

Before Chu Qingcheng could walk out of the hall, a loud sound came from behind her, scaring her to the point that she couldn't help but turn around. She thought that something was wrong with Taoist Xuanji, but in the end, she saw Chu Qichen, who only had one arm.    

"Eldest Senior Brother, what happened to your arm? "Where are the other senior brothers …"    

This time, there were a total of seven people who had gone out to gain experience, known as the Seven Gentlemen of the Arcanum, but only Chu Qichen came back alone with an unsightly appearance. Chu Qingcheng had already thought of the worst case scenario, and her expression turned cold as she asked, "Eldest Senior Brother, who did it?"    

Thinking of Gao Feng, Chu Qichen was so angry that his face turned green. He gritted his teeth and said, "People in the martial world call me a murderer."    

Ever since she was insulted by Gao Feng and forced to leave Xiaoxiang Palace a year ago, Chu Qingcheng no longer set foot in the Jianghu and knew very little about it. As a result, she did not know who Chu Qichen was talking about, thus she asked curiously, "Eldest Senior Brother, who is he?"    

"Who could it be?" Seeing that Chu Qingcheng still didn't understand, Chu Qichen added, "His name is Gao Feng."    

Gao Feng? Chu Qingcheng sucked in a breath of cold air and asked, "Eldest Senior Brother, are you talking about that Gao Feng from Xiaoxiang Palace?"    

"If it wasn't him, who else could it be?!" Chu Qichen said angrily.    

"It really is him, but …" Chu Qingcheng was still a little dubious. "I've come into contact with him before, he doesn't seem to be as bad as you said …"    

Chu Qichen's expression turned cold as he said in a bad mood, "So you are blaming me for wrongly accusing him?"    

Chu Qichen liked Chu Qingcheng, but Chu Qingcheng seemed to have a subordinate nature and did not accept it. Therefore, their relationship was a little awkward, it was just that she did not express it in front of Taoist Xuanji.    

Normally, he just turned a blind eye to it. Now that he heard Chu Qingcheng not believing Chu Qichen's words, he hurriedly advised: "Qingcheng, you can't judge a book by its cover, you just saw him once, how can you be sure that he isn't a bad person?"    

Upon hearing these words, Chu Qingcheng was slightly moved. She thought about how Gao Feng once took advantage of her.    

Adept Arcanum continued, "In this past year, you have been in closed-door training. Many things have happened in the martial arts world, but you didn't know about it. His purpose for going to Xiaoxiang Palace was to destroy it, and he had almost destroyed the thousand years of foundation built from both inside and outside. After he was expelled from the Xiaoxiang Palace, he started killing innocents everywhere, completely disregarding human life. In the end, he became a homicidal maniac that everyone in the martial arts world shouted about. "    

It was possible for Chu Qichen to lie to her, but his Master would definitely not lie to her, because there was no reason for him to lie to her. Thus, Chu Qingcheng believed Taoist Arcanum's words.    

"The reason I sent you to the Xiaoxiang Palace was to let you change him, but in the end … Sigh, this is heaven's will, heaven's will cannot be defied … " Daoist Master Arcanum sighed, "Qingcheng, you can leave. I will help you heal Eldest Senior Brother."    

Once they were out of the hall, Chu Qingcheng looked to the southwest and said, "Gao Feng, one day, I will settle old debts with you."
