Chapter 414 - 387: The First Kowtow, As a Bow to the Heavens
The sword light caused everyone’s faces to change.
“Is this even human speed?” Xu Fan exclaimed.
This speed was like driving at full speed on the highway in a previous life, and suddenly realizing there was someone running parallel to the car.
“Master, do you want to activate the main gun?” Pu Tao asked.
“Damn it, you can’t lock on with this speed.” Xu Fan replied.
They saw the sword light’s speed increase by dozens of times, directly breaking through the protective shield of the starship.
The gray-haired Elder appeared in front of everyone, not saying anything, just quietly looking at them all.
Everyone else also quietly looked back at the gray-haired Elder.
“Why does Senior visit our starship?”
Xu Fan was the first to break the silence.
“I just wanted to see who dared to take my Nine Swords Venerable’s disciple.” Nine Swords Venerable said.
“Esteemed One, Wuji was originally my disciple.” Wang Xiangchi stepped forward to say.
“So that’s the case.” Nine Swords Venerable said indifferently, with a trace of murderous intent in his eyes.
He scanned the entire starship, and when he sensed the presence of Zhan Ling, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Nine Taoist Prime Spirit Swords’ shadows appeared behind the Nine Swords Venerable, and he said with an unquestionable tone: “Disciple, it seems your past ties are not yet severed.”
“In order to help your pursuit of the Dao, your master has no choice but to help you sever your past karmic ties.”
“Today, let you witness my Eighth Spirit Sword, Mie Ling.” Nine Swords Venerable said.
“Senior, how about making a bet?” Xu Fan smiled. This old man looked intimidating and full of killing intent, but it was all for Sword Wuji to see.
“What bet?”
“Even if heaven and earth perish today, you can’t kill any of us.” Xu Fan smiled. He still had his Big Move.
At this moment, there was only one spirit sword’s shadow behind Nine Swords Venerable, a blood-red sword with sky-high murderous intent.
“Master, let them go. I’ll go with you.” Sword Wuji stepped forward. He couldn’t be sure if the Nine Swords Venerable would really make a move.
“Obedient disciple, if you had stood by me as soon as I appeared, they could still live.”
“Now, well, for the others, it doesn’t matter.”
“Your Master and your Grand Master must die.”
“Heaven and earth perishing, interesting.” Nine Swords Venerable looked at Xu Fan with a mocking expression.
Throughout his life, he had been carefree, without any good or evil intentions, killing at will. Apart from a few people in the world, no one could stop him.
“Senior can try it.” Xu Fan said. He wasn’t courting death, but rather, he wanted to counterattack. To appear casually on my starship, and casually snatch my disciple, did they really think I was easy to bully?
“Master, don’t do it.” Sword Wuji looked at the Nine Swords Venerable and pleaded. He didn’t want to use that move, as honestly, Nine Swords Venerable had been good to him.
“My killing intent is determined.”, Nine Swords Venerable looked at Xu Fan and Wang Xiangchi and said.
At this moment, everyone started to get nervous, ready for battle. Zhan Ling also appeared on the deck, his blood energy rushing to the sky like a demonic figure.
At this moment, not far from the starship, a strand of thunder disaster spiritual energy was condensing into shape.
As soon as Nine Swords Venerable made a move, the battle would be triggered.
“Only two people will be killed, if anyone else steps forward, everyone on this starship will be killed.” Nine Swords Venerable threatened.
No one moved at all, all staring at the Nine Swords Venerable.
“What a pity.”
Nine Swords Venerable’s killing intent had risen, the spiritual sword rising behind him slowly, suppressing everyone with its murderous aura.
Just as Nine Swords Venerable was about to make his move, Sword Wuji, with devout reverence, put his hands together and prepared to kneel in tribute.
“First kowtow, for the sake of the heaven’s will!”
A fear greater than the heavenly law of this realm enveloped Nine Swords Venerable, feeling like he would be crushed by some unknown power of heaven and earth in the next moment.
“Good disciple, stop!”
Nine Swords Venerable hurriedly tried to stop him.
Sword Wuji, whose knees were about to touch the ground, stopped and asked: “Can Master promise my terms?”
“Alright, if you come with me”, Nine Swords Venerable said, with nervousness in his voice, fearing that Sword Wuji would complete the first kowtow.
He had a feeling that he could withstand the first kowtow, but he definitely couldn’t bear a second kneeling from Sword Wuji.
“You must keep your word, Master.” Sword Wuji said.
“Of course, of course.” Nine Swords Venerable, who was enveloped by great fear, nodded quickly.
“Alright, I’ll trust you this time.”, Sword Wuji slowly got up and casually glanced at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan clearly read the meaning in Sword Wuji’s eyes:
Grand Master is awesome!
“Senior, it seems I’ve won this time.” Xu Fan smiled and said.
“I’m giving Wuji face.”
Without saying anything more, Nine Swords Venerable waved his hand, took Sword Wuji, and turned them into sword light which disappeared from the starship.
Xu Fan watched as the sword light formed from Nine Swords Venerable and Sword Wuji disappeared into the depths of Vast Void Domain before slowly taking out a small notebook from his Space Ring and writing down the name of Nine Swords Venerable.
Immortal Repair History XXX Years, on a starship, there was a joker called Nine Swords Venerable trying to kill me.
After writing this line, Xu Fan put away the small notebook, waiting for him to become a Mahayana Venerable in the future, when no one on the list would be able to escape.
At this moment, Nine Swords Venerable, who was flying away, suddenly shuddered.
“Who taught you that technique just now?” Nine Swords Venerable asked Sword Wuji.
“My Grand Master, the one who bet with you just now.”
“Master, just now I sent a message to you not to offend my Grand Master, why didn’t you listen?” Sword Wuji said.
“A mere Nascent Soul Stage, do I really need to give him face?” Nine Swords Venerable snorted coldly, expressing extreme dissatisfaction with Xu Fan.
His Nine Swords Venerable’s identity was not given due respect just now.
“Not only did my Grand Master teach me the three kowtows, but he also reversed the curse to help me absorb this boundless vitality.” Sword Wuji said.
“So it was your Grand Master who helped you cast the reverse curse that absorbs the life force of the demon clan!” Nine Swords Venerable said with a hint of regret in his tone, wondering why he hadn’t killed Xu Fan earlier.
In the world of immortality, one of the people you couldn’t offend were those who were proficient in curse techniques. Those who could reverse a clan’s vitality curse were not just considered experts anymore.
“Disciple, let’s turn around and kill your Grand Master.” Nine Swords Venerable suddenly said.
“Master, can you withstand my three kowtows?” Sword Wuji said.
On the starship, Xu Fan said to everyone, “Alright, return to your respective positions and prepare to go home.”
“Yes, sir!”
Everyone dispersed, leaving only Wang Xiangchi standing in place, looking at Xu Fan coming over and saying, “Master, have you said that my fate with Wuji has exhausted our master-disciple relationship?”
“Of course not, your fate has just begun. Practice hard and one day catch up with Nine Swords Venerable, and then give him a good beating.”, Xu Fan patted Wang Xiangchi’s shoulder and said.
“Yes, sir!”
