Chapter 1949: Chapter 1949: Purple Nether Blood Lion
"Misunderstanding my ass! I don’t care what misunderstanding you’re talking about, I only know this—if you dare lay a hand on a Disciple of my Heavenly God Mountain, then you’re in the wrong!"
Gu Xuexuo’s fist carried a fierce surge of Purple Netherworld Energy as it slammed straight into Yuan Sha’s chest.
"Bang!"
Yuan Sha’s strength wasn’t weak either.
But taking Gu Xuexuo’s rage-filled punch head-on, even he couldn’t quite withstand it.
His figure blasted backwards a hundred meters, his chest feeling as if it had been smashed by an Iron Hammer, throbbing faintly with pain.
"Gu Xuexuo, one of Heavenly God Mountain’s nine Mountain Masters."
Seeing that furious figure at this moment, many people’s hearts trembled.
Generally speaking, Demon Beasts’ lifespans are longer than humans’.
Gu Xuexuo was also an old veteran powerhouse who had lived a very long time; his fearsome reputation spoke for itself.
Gu Xuexuo’s true body was the ’Purple Nether Blood Lion’, an extremely rare type of Demon Beast.
"You alright?"
After blasting Yuan Sha back with one punch, Gu Xuexuo hurriedly asked about Qin Qi’s condition.
Qin Qi cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks, Mountain Master Gu, I’m fine."
Huang Jue gave Yuan Sha, whose expression was a bit ugly, a cold glance and said, "Mountain Master Gu, earlier Vice Palace Master Yuan claimed he was disciplining Junior Brother Qin on our Heavenly God Mountain’s behalf, and then struck at Junior Brother Qin."
"This matter cannot just be brushed aside."
Huang Jue was seething inside!
How Yuan Sha dealt with Qin Chen was none of his business.
But Yuan Sha had actually dared to drag Qin Qi into it as well; that was openly provoking Heavenly God Mountain!
As soon as Huang Jue finished speaking.
Yuan Sha’s expression immediately changed.
This was dumping boiling water right onto his head!
He had just been wondering how to explain things to Gu Xuexuo.
Sure enough.
As soon as Gu Xuexuo finished listening, he immediately turned back, his pair of purple pupils seemingly burning with Purple Flame.
"Yuan Sha, since when did you get the qualifications to discipline Disciples of my Heavenly God Mountain?!"
Gu Xuexuo’s voice carried a sharp edge of anger.
Yuan Sha said, "The situation isn’t that simple; listen to me explain it slowly."
"Explain my ass!"
Gu Xuexuo flared up again.
He suddenly transformed into his true form, the Purple Nether Blood Lion, and let out a heaven-shaking roar; waves of sound rolled forth as he pounced straight at Yuan Sha.
Yuan Sha’s face darkened; he could only summon his own Primordial Artifact to confront Gu Xuexuo.
He continued to explain as he clashed with Gu Xuexuo.
"Mr. Gu, the reason I struck at him is because he blocked me from disciplining my Saber Saint Cliff Disciples, and I never took his life—toward him, it was only meant as intimidation."
Gu Xuexuo completely ignored him.
"You actually discipline your own Saber Saint Cliff Disciples in front of all these outsiders—what a way to ’handle things’ you’ve got!"
Gu Xuexuo let out a cold laugh. "If I were a Disciple of your Saber Saint Cliff, my heart would be chilled to the core!"
Gu Xuexuo’s words just happened to hit Qin Chen’s current Mental State right on the mark.
Fortunately, Gu Xuexuo had arrived in time and essentially helped Qin Chen out of a tight spot.
Yuan Sha said, "My Saber Saint Cliff has strict rules and a fine style; discipline should not be limited by setting—this is how we proclaim our Saber Saint Cliff’s rigorous conduct."
"Then go ahead and proclaim all you want, just don’t meddle in my Heavenly God Mountain Disciples’ affairs!"
"Disciples of my Heavenly God Mountain are not to be bullied by anyone from outside!"
Gu Xuexuo’s domineering voice echoed out, stirring a deep sense of pride in every Heavenly God Mountain Disciple present.
"Roar!"
Gu Xuexuo opened his mouth and spat a huge blast of Purple Flame toward Yuan Sha.
The blazing Purple Flame erupted violently, burning even the very air away; the entire stretch of space quivered as if about to be incinerated.
Qin Qi immediately said to Qin Chen, "Big Brother, how about you forget about going back to that Saber Saint Cliff; when the time comes, come with me to Heavenly God Mountain. With your talent, you’re definitely qualified to become one of Heavenly God Mountain’s own."
Yuan Sha’s actions had left Qin Qi thoroughly disappointed in Saber Saint Cliff.
Qin Chen shook his head and said, "Saber Saint Cliff isn’t as pathetic as you imagine. Besides, it’s true I’m a Disciple of Saber Saint Cliff, but even more so, I’m a Disciple of Saber Saint Cliff’s Ninth Palace."
Putting everything else aside.
Qin Chen still felt a very real sense of belonging toward the Ninth Palace as a group.
Whether it was Senior Brother Ye Wutian, Senior Sister Su Yihuan, or that Palace Master Dream Saber Lord who didn’t seem all that reliable.
Though Qin Chen hadn’t been around them for long, he had already come to regard the Ninth Palace as his home.
Up in the sky.
The battle between Gu Xuexuo and Yuan Sha was still raging.
Yuan Sha had been forced into constant defense.
Gu Xuexuo’s temper was simply too fierce.
Every move looked as if it was aimed at taking Yuan Sha’s life.
Qin Chen could tell.
Yuan Sha’s strength actually wasn’t weak at all.
Otherwise, there’s no way he could have withstood an enraged Gu Xuexuo for this long.
But the two of them were a complete study in contrasts when it came to how they protected their own Disciples.
Right then.
Quite a few figures swept in from the distant horizon.
The massive commotion here had finally alarmed the people of Dao Village.
Along with them came the Void Sect powerhouse Huang Xuanzhong and Huangfu Xuanming of the Huangfu Family.
Xue Ningjun was also among the crowd.
In fact, he had known that once he left, a fight would definitely break out.
But he had never imagined.
That this battle would escalate to such a shocking degree in the end.
And that, in the end, it would actually be Gu Xuexuo and Yuan Sha who were fighting.
Both of these men were Daoist King realm powerhouses.
Even though neither of them had gone all-out at the moment.
Still, a fight between Daoist King experts was absolutely the kind that could destroy heaven and earth.
The surroundings had already been reduced to a wasteland.
"Brother Yoan, Mr. Gu, please, both of you, cease at once."
Xue Ningjun stepped forward and hurriedly called out to stop them.
Gu Xuexuo and Yuan Sha hadn’t been fighting a life-and-death duel to begin with; Gu Xuexuo was venting his anger, while Yuan Sha had been stuck on the defensive the whole time.
At Xue Ningjun’s call, the battle immediately halted.
Even so.
Looking at the chaotic, distorted space left in the wake of their clash, many people still couldn’t help swallowing hard, their scalps tingling—so this was the Daoist King realm.
Huang Xuanzhong and Huangfu Xuanming saw the grievously injured Ming Han and Huangfu Ming.
There were also many Disciples of the Huangfu Family and Void Sect in the same state, all carrying injuries.
Of course, none of them were as badly wounded as Ming Han and Huangfu Ming.
Especially Huangfu Ming; his face was so swollen it looked like a pig’s head.
"What happened?!"
Their faces both darkened at the same time as they questioned Ming Han and Huangfu Ming.
The two of them found it hard to open their mouths.
After all, everything had started because they’d tried to snatch the Human Pattern Golden Ginseng from Qin Chen’s hands, only to end up getting beaten into this state themselves.
It was truly an utterly humiliating affair.
"Speak!"
Huangfu Xuanming was clearly displeased and barked out a shout.
Huangfu Ming cast his gaze toward Qin Chen, still unable to lift his head. "It was Qin Chen and Lin Songyun and the others."
Huangfu Xuanming and Huang Xuanzhong both turned their eyes toward Qin Chen, shock flashing in their gazes.
"Is that true?!"
Huang Xuanzhong still couldn’t quite believe it and asked Ming Han again.
Ming Han also lowered his head, nodding in humiliation.
