115: Chapter 115 This child must not be allowed to live!
Outskirts of Chengtian Prefecture!
Inside the Blood Demon Sect underground base!
Hearing the question from the person standing in mid-air wearing blood-colored robes, the young man kneeling on the ground trembled like chaff, his forehead slamming hard against the blood-stained bluestone floor.
The blood beads from his forehead mixed with the filth on the ground, and his voice carried uncontrollable sobbing and fear: "Back... back, Hall Master! It is absolutely true!"
"Three days ago, a new student from the Prefectural Academy from Wurong County actually realized a sliver of Instructor Lin Chengyuan's Extinction Blade Intent from that Prefectural Academy plaque, and even stirred the Saber Intent hidden within it by Instructor Lin Chengyuan, shaking the entire Prefecture City!"
"A bit interesting, a Prefectural Academy freshman can actually realize Instructor Lin Chengyuan's Saber Intent?!"
The Hall Master of the Blood Demon Sect heard this, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "It seems this child either possesses a special Physique or astonishing Comprehension Ability!"
"Replying to Hall Master, according to what this subordinate gathered, this child's cultivation seems to be only at the Qi Condensation Realm 6th layer, but it is said he defeated a Martial Artist at the Qi Condensation Realm Perfection during the County Exam, and he also mastered a Martial Skill of at least Profound Rank Medium Grade that is at least at the Major Achievement, or perhaps even Perfection stage!"
"It seems this child must have astonishing Comprehension Ability!"
"Continue!" the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master said indifferently.
"Yes, Hall Master!"
The young man swallowed his saliva and then continued, "After realizing that sliver of Saber Intent, the Prefecture City shook, and it even alarmed the three Great Grandmasters of the Prefecture City. In the end, Chen An apprenticed himself to Principal Beigong Mo of the Chengtian Prefecture Prefectural Academy!"
The figure of the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master, suspended above the blood pool, paused slightly, his dark red eyes suddenly shrinking to needle tips. From under his hood came a sneer, "Principal Beigong Mo?! That old thing with half his body in the grave is quite good at picking up bargains!"
His fingertips lightly caressed the blood-colored skull embroidered on his cuffs. The scarlet liquid in the blood pool seemed to sense his emotions, churning even more violently, as countless twisted human faces appeared and disappeared in the bloody water, emitting shrill wails.
"It seems that trash Incense Master Huang Baichuan was used as a fish by that old fox Principal Beigong Mo, and that Prefectural Academy student must be the bait!" the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, Hall Master is wise!"
The young man thought for a moment, then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, and he said, "No wonder Chen An suddenly left the Prefectural Academy alone yesterday. This subordinate thought it was a good opportunity, so I notified the Incense Master, but I didn't expect..."
"Hmph!"
The Blood Demon Sect Hall Master snorted coldly and said, "That trash Incense Master Huang Baichuan couldn't even see through such a simple scheme; he deserved to die!"
"Hall Master, this subordinate has more intelligence to report regarding Chen An!" the young man knelt respectfully on the ground and said.
"Speak!" the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master said with a calm expression.
"Yes!"
The young man knelt on the ground, bowed respectfully, and said, "Reporting to Hall Master, Chen An had a gambling duel with Shen Qingshan of the Shen Family's main branch this morning. Shen Qingshan has the strength of the Acquired Realm 5th layer, but Chen An caused Shen Qingshan to suffer heavy injuries without lifting a finger."
"And after Chen An defeated Shen Qingshan, Instructor Lin Chengyuan appeared and said that Chen An used Saber Intent to defeat Shen Qingshan. He also said that Chen An's Extinction Blade Intent has already reached the Entry Stage and wanted Chen An to apprentice under him!"
"What?!!!"
The figure of the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master, suspended above the blood pool, suddenly froze. The blood mist surrounding him was gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, violently contracting into a ball, and then exploded with a bang!
The hundred-zhang blood pool instantly set off monstrous waves, the scarlet bloody water slapped against the cave walls, emitting a deafening roar, and countless refined vengeful Souls screamed crazily in the blood waves, their shrill voices capable of tearing people's eardrums.
He swooped down suddenly, his blood-colored robes rustling, grabbing the young man's neck and slowly lifting him into mid-air.
"You dare deceive me?!"
The voice from under the hood was as hoarse as a fierce ghost, and bloodshot eyes bulged with blood, as if two groups of blood fire were burning.
"No... I dare not, Hall Master spare me!"
The young man's face was flushed, full of pain and fear, and he used all his strength to say, "Hall Master, this matter was witnessed by thousands of people at the Third Martial Arts Arena of the Prefectural Academy today. It was Instructor Lin Chengyuan who said it himself. Chen An realized the Extinction Blade Intent to the Entry Stage, and, and it only took two days!"
"Two days..."
A look of shock could not help but appear on the originally calm face of the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master.
That was Extinction Blade Intent!
The "Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction" is known as the number one offensive Martial Skill in Qingzhou. Even Instructor Lin Chengyuan, that Qingzhou Saber King who once survived against a Martial King while in the Great Grandmaster Realm, is said to have taken decades to reach the Entry Stage of the Saber Intent.
Yet that student named Chen An actually reached the Entry Stage of the Extinction Blade Intent in just two days.
This sounds like a fantasy!
How could there be such a Prodigy in this world?!
If this student named Chen An is allowed to continue living, perhaps in a few years, there will be a new Saber King rising in Qingzhou.
Boom!!!
The Blood Demon Sect Hall Master casually threw the suffocating young man to the ground, allowing him to finally come back to life.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!!!"
"Hall, Hall Master..."
The young man lay on the ground, breathing in fresh air like a fish out of water, coughing repeatedly. After recovering a little, he struggled to continue reporting, "Besides reaching the Entry Stage of Instructor Lin Chengyuan's Saber Intent, Chen An also spent less than an hour on the sparring stage to Cultivate the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Fist taught to him by Principal Beigong Mo to the Entry Stage, and even realized a sliver of Fist Intent."
"What?!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!"
Hearing the young man's latter words, the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master's expression changed drastically, and the terrifying Blood Fiend power surrounding him suddenly lost control, sweeping in all directions like a violent tsunami.
The hard bluestone floor was lifted up, the hundred-zhang blood pool exploded, and blood rain poured down from the sky. The screams of countless vengeful Souls gathered into a terrifying sound wave, shaking the entire underground cave, and the rubble from the ceiling fell like a rainstorm.
If he could barely accept that Chen An had reached the Entry Stage of the Saber Intent in two days before.
But at this moment, hearing that Chen An had actually used less than an hour to Cultivate a top-tier Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique to the Entry Stage, and even realized a sliver of Fist Intent.
How could he believe this?!!!
This is no longer a Genius!
This is a Prodigy!!!
A bone-chilling coldness rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making even a powerhouse of the Great Grandmaster Realm shudder.
For the first time, he felt fear towards a person's talent, a fear from the depths of his Soul!
"No, this child must not be left alive!!!"
A thought emerged in his mind, and at the same time, a monstrous murderous intent erupted from his body...
