Chapter 1863 - 1854: Stunned
The sword light descended from the sky like a waterfall, carrying a destructive force, rapidly closing in on Ao Cangsheng.
The surrounding yellow sand was suddenly transformed into a sandstorm by the sword light, engulfing both Ao Cangsheng and the dark shadow.
Even though the sword light was quick, by the time it reached Ao Cangsheng’s eyes, it had already been slowed countless times.
Before the sword light could strike him, Ao Cangsheng immediately executed the "Cloud and Wind Step," charging directly towards the sword light.
"Clang——"
A sharp collision sounded. When Ao Cangsheng appeared again, the Light Blade had been shattered to pieces.
Seeing this scene, the dark shadow was slightly stunned.
Clearly, he did not expect Ao Cangsheng’s strength to be so great.
After a moment of dizziness, a fierce look flashed in the shadow’s eyes.
In no time, he had climbed atop Ao Kangsheng’s peak.
"Boom——"
With a loud crash, three Life Palaces suddenly appeared above the shadow’s head.
These three Ming Palaces, needless to say when compared to the water and clouds, were even inferior to Feng Xuyao’s.
Suspended in the sky were three golden palaces. In the center of each palace, only three stars shone.
Although these three palaces were not strong, they still represented celestial and human palaces.
When the Life Palaces appeared, immense pressure enveloped Ao Kangsheng.
At the same time, the sword in the shadow’s hand suddenly began to dance wildly. In an instant, a vortex of swords appeared in the air.
The sword vortex was like a gigantic beast, opening its mouth as if to swallow Ao Cangsheng.
Ao Cangsheng merely smirked coldly, not attacking. He allowed the sword vortex to descend.
The sudden sword light brought a feeling of death to the shadow instead of danger.
After all, the shadow was also someone of formidable prowess. Even facing the threat of death, he maintained his fiercest instincts.
In that moment, the longsword in the shadow’s hand began to dance again.
As the sword light sliced through, a vertical and horizontal Sword Curtain appeared in front of the shadow.
However, just as the Sword Curtain was formed, not even stabilizing, it collapsed with the descent of the sword’s radiance.
The powerful sword light not only shattered the Sword Curtain, but also cut through the shadow’s defensive Light Shield, leaving a long bloody mark on the shadow’s body.
As the sword flashed, a fierce wind arose.
The fierce wind whipped the shadow’s tattered clothes, also lifting his mask.
As the veil floated away, a pale and fierce face suddenly appeared before Ao Cangsheng.
"Heng Liu!"
As he looked at this face, a name suddenly flashed in Ao Cangsheng’s mind.
Subsequently, Heng Liu’s body was struck by a massive force, as another sword light fell upon him.
"Boom——"
With a loud bang, Heng Liu’s body exploded from within, turning into a rain of blood that splattered in all directions.
"Thump——"
A moment later, a man’s head fell from the sky, his expression both terrified and malicious.
As he gazed at the steady stream of blood, Ao Cangsheng slowly raised his longsword.
Now, Ao Cangsheng fully understood.
Before that young man, most of those who came were itinerant people.
He spoke to lure him to the Qingliu River.
Thus, the Qingliu River was quite a distance from the academy’s center, making it a rare ambush spot.
Second, though Qingliu River was in a remote location, it was still within the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School. Even if Ao Cangsheng approached, he wouldn’t be too wary, which was favorable for Heng Liu’s flow.
However, Heng Shui clearly overestimated his strength. In the end, not only was he unable to kill Ao Kangsheng, but he laid his own life down.
As he stared at the corpse in the water, Ao Cangsheng subtly shifted his gaze.
He hadn’t expected the well-prepared assassination attempt to be solely orchestrated by Heng Shui.
If he was right, the true mastermind behind the scenes wouldn’t show themselves.
And Ao Cangsheng considered the most likely mastermind to be Heng Qingfeng or his seniors.
With a thought in his mind, Ao Cangsheng began to return to the academy’s center.
Though Qingliu River was in a remote place, if they really saw it, Ao Cangsheng might fall into trouble again.
Yet before Ao Cangsheng could go far, a row of shadows suddenly appeared before him.
Among them, the most striking was the school’s deputy head, Heng Qingfeng.
Ao Cangsheng didn’t understand why right after he killed Heng Liu, Heng Feng immediately appeared along the Qingliu River?
Not until he spotted the young man at the end of the group, the one who had reported to him, did Ao Cangsheng realize the truth.
Previously, the young man probably hadn’t gone to Qingliu River but instead reported to Heng Qingfeng.
Later, these people should have been observing the battle from afar.
However, this final outcome was not what they intended to witness.
"Ao Cangsheng, where do you think you’re running off to?"
From afar, some people began to taunt, charging towards Ao Kangsheng.
Upon hearing these words, Ao Cangsheng stood still and unmoving.
Since he couldn’t escape, he might as well let it be.
Otherwise, with people of such strength opposite him, Ao Cangsheng wouldn’t fare well.
Soon, Heng Qingfeng and his entourage approached Ao Cangsheng.
There were ten in total. The young priest stepped forward, the other nine were all senior figures in both the celestial and human realms.
According to Ao Kangsheng’s estimation, so long as these nine went all out, today he might have to sacrifice his life here.
For this reason, when these people appeared before him, Ao Cangsheng was constantly prepared for a battle of blood.
Yet unexpectedly, the ten before him seemed not ready to act.
"Ao Kangsheng, where do you intend to flee?"
Originally the Qingyi man scolded Ao Cangsheng. Upon seeing Ao Kangsheng, he shouted fiercely again.
However, Heng Qingfeng, the leader, merely showed a cold expression, as if unaware that Heng Qingshui had just been killed by Ao Cangsheng.
"Flee? Why would I flee?"
Cangsheng glanced at the Qingyi man, curiously asking.
"Child, is it time to pretend?" You thought no one in the academy saw you committing murder?"
The man in Qingyi spat recklessly at the stars. As soon as he arrived, he set the tone for Ao Cangsheng.
"Murder? I don’t know which eye of yours saw me kill anyone?"
Ao Kangsheng calmly asked.
"Stone, come and testify that he did it just now!"
"Enough, whatever way he found out you were killed. I only care. Did you kill anyone?"
"Currently, you’re the only one on the Qingliu River. If we find another body, there’s no need to question anything!"
Heng Qingfeng appeared impatient, immediately orchestrating this evidential drama with a firm attitude.
"Indeed! If there’s a massacre, I’ll see if there is one!"
The Qingyi man harbored long-standing resentment towards Ao Cangsheng’s arrogance and immediately joined their cause.
"Child, come on, you’d better not play tricks, or you’ll regret it!"
Glancing coldly at Ao Kangsheng, the middle-aged man in yellow threatened.
Ao Cangsheng sighed, knowing he couldn’t refuse, and had to accompany Heng Qingfeng to the Qingliu River.
The Liu River was covered in yellow sand by Huang Da. For this reason, the red blood was particularly conspicuous.
As they reached the edge of the river where the corpse was, each person frowned.
Firstly, their dreadful death, the continual flow was so tragic it was just a mass of corpses.
Secondly, they were shocked by Ao Cangsheng’s power, which was so formidable.
You know, Heng Shui was in the Sixth Realm of Celestial Beings. Compared to many seniors of the academy, his strength was already high.
But even so, facing severe injuries, Ao Cangsheng still knocked him down, which was somewhat astonishing.
After scanning the bloody battlefield, Heng Qingfeng’s gaze finally fixed on a bloody skull not far away.
