Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 617: Leng Ningyu’s Inching Towards Death, Clutched By A Hand

The arrival of the Toxin Sovereign had greatly increased the power of the Sovereigns.

Now, there were a total of fifteen Sovereigns eager to fight Chu Kuangren, and each of them represented a formidable individual of their own.

Every one of them at the scene had even managed to cultivate their own Emperor qi.

Such a magnitude of power would no doubt be sufficient to rule over all of Emperor Road!

“Sh*t, this must be Li Celong’s doing.”

Chi Yue was staring furiously at Li Celong. His arrival with the Toxin Sovereign seemed to confirm that he had been pulling some strings behind the scenes.

Having noticed Chi Yue’s attention, Li Celong returned her with a menacing grin. “So what do you think? Will Chu Kuangren choose to come or will he choose to save his own life instead?”

“Hmph, that’s none of your f*cking business.”

Chi Yue cursed as she was losing her temper.

“Heh, if he still refuses to show up, it’ll be the end for the Seven Emotions Sect. I pity you and your Senior Sister for getting dumped after giving your bodies to him.”

Li Celong’s remarks had caused all of the Sovereigns to focus on the ladies. Even Lady Leng Yue was dumbfounded.

“Chi Yue, I only allow your Senior Sister to fall for Brother Chu to cultivate her Unruffled Emotions Dao. I didn’t say you could join in too.”

Chi Yue’s face was now flushed. She exclaimed, “Nonsense! This is nothing but a slander!”

Li Celong replied calmly, “No one can cure the Crimson Lotus Serpent’s poison through normal means. You both know what I’m talking about.”

“Hmph, just because you can’t cure it doesn’t mean Brother Chu can’t.”

Chi Yue snorted.

“Enough. All that matters is that you both are close to Chu Kuangren. I have no patience listening to you blabbering about other matters.”

The Tempest Sword Sovereign interrupted.

Indeed, the ladies had close ties to Chu Kuangren.

As such, it increased the likelihood of Chu Kuangren showing up at the Seven Emotions Sect.

“Spread the words that if Chu Kuangren doesn’t show up by noon tomorrow, we’ll kill off Leng Ningyu, the Maiden Sage of Seven Emotions Sect.”

The Tempest Sword Sovereign retrieved a jade scroll and passed it to the Sword Tribe.

Soon, the words had spread all over Emperor Road.

Leng Ningyu had long been rumored to have a romantic interest with Chu Kuangren. Witnessing the Tempest Sword Sovereign using Leng Ningyu to force Chu Kuangren out of hiding almost seemed to confirm this rumor.

“Tsk. I pity the Maiden Sage. What a shame for her to die just like that.”

“D*mn it. Why hasn’t Chu Kuangren showed up yet? Oh, my pitiful Maiden Sage, death is the last thing I would wish upon her.”

“Do you think Chu Kuangren’s just an untrustworthy womanizer?”

“Few heroes can resist the temptation of a woman’s beauty. The Maiden Sage of Seven Emotion Sects is so beautiful. Heaven knows how many hearts were broken when Chu Kuangren won her over.”

“It must be very happening over at the Seven Emotion Sects now. It’d be a shame if we miss out on it. Why not we head over and take a look…”

The Seven Emotions Sect was now the center of attention within Emperor Road.

Countless parties were keeping a close eye on the events that were unfolding in the location.

In fact, cultivators had even traveled in large flocks towards the Seven Emotions Sect.

Time flew, and soon, the second day had arrived.

Before the grand hall, Leng Ningyu was surrounded by a formless force of energy that trapped her like a birdcage, sealing her cultivation energy away.

She was like a criminal who was awaiting her execution.

The only difference was that Leng Ningyu was nothing but calm as if she was not the one inching closer towards her death.

On the other hand, Chi Yue was on edge.

The Tempest Sword Sovereign observed Leng Ningyu’s behavior and said, “The Unruffled Emotions Dao is extraordinary instead. How can you manage to remain calm in such a situation? Do you truly not fear death?”

“Would fear be useful? If it isn’t, why should I fear?”

Leng Ningyu answered calmly.

“Not bad. I must say that I do admire you.”

The Tempest Sword Sovereign did not hide his admiration for Leng Ningyu.

Li Celong walked to Leng Ningyu and said, “Ningyu, as long as you deny that you have no ties with Chu Kuangren, I’ll have the Toxin Sovereign save you from this.”

Leng Ningyu looked at him coldly and said, “Aren’t you the one who claimed that I have ties with Chu Kuangren? And now you want me to deny it again? Don’t you think this is preposterous?”

“Ningyu, are you willing to die for Chu Kuangren?”

Li Celong clenched his fist and asked with his eyes red.

Leng Ningyu could no longer entertain Li Celong. She did not even bother to look at him as she cast her gaze upon the entrance of the Seven Emotions Sect.

“Leng Ningyu, I’ve liked you for so many years, yet you don’t even bother to look at me even when you’re about to die. Fine, fine!”

Li Celong’s hopes were shattered.

He ground his teeth and turned to the group of Seven Emotion Sects members. “After your death, I will do all I can to unleash my vengeance upon all of the Seven Emotions Sect. I’ll make sure the orthodoxy you care so much about will never have a day of peace!”

The Toxin Sovereign looked at Li Celong and cackled. “You’re surely evil for a doctor. I must say that I’m starting to like you, little one.”

Li Celong did not speak another word. It was not a good thing to be liked by the Toxin Sovereign. Who knew what twisted plans the Toxin Sovereign would have even for people he was fond of?

If they had not sworn a heavenly oath, Li Celong would have likely been killed by the Toxin Sovereign through the most gruesome methods.

Noon came.

A surge of sword qi was converging at the tip of the Tempest Sword Sovereign’s finger. He aimed his finger towards Leng Ningyu and said coldly, “If you have any last words, now’s the time.”

Leng Ningyu was still peering outside the Seven Emotions Sect. The only picture she saw in her thoughts was that of Chu Kuangren. She wished to see him badly.

Alas, it was a wish that could not be fulfilled.

“No need for that. Just do it.”

Leng Ningyu said calmly.

“Master Sovereign Ying, please save Senior Sister!”

“Yes, Master Sovereign Ying, please save the Maiden Sage!”

Chi Yue was filled with dread.

Sovereign Ying clenched her fist as she stood in her position, and her face was grim. Of course, she wanted to save Leng Ningyu. After all, the latter was the outlawed sky-pride of the Seven Emotions Sect.

However, she was also being watched closely by a handful of Sovereigns.

Once she made her move, the Sovereigns would close in on her. Such a magnitude of power was far from what she could handle.

“If you won’t do it, I’ll do it!”

Chi Yue ground her teeth, vanished into a flash, and exerted all of her body weights into pushing the formless energy barrier that surrounded Leng Ningyu.

“Save the Maiden Sage!”

“We can’t just stand by and watch the Maiden Sage die!”

Under Chi Yue’s lead, a group of disciples braved into action. However, Sovereign Ying and Lady Leng Yue were horrified by their abrupt decisions.

“What a group of puny ants.”

The Toxin Sovereign grunted and waved his sleeves, casting a wind of greyish fumes that swiped Chi Yue and the disciples away.

The fume seethed with poisons that slowly penetrated into the disciples’ bodies and slowly corroded their fleshes.

Soon, Chi Yue and the disciples’ faces turned dark as blood began to flow from their orifices.

“I don’t think Chu Kuangren will be here anytime soon. Why not just destroy the Seven Emotions Sect while we’re here?”

The Toxin Sovereign cackled sinisterly and activated his Toxic Plague Physique. An endless stream of toxic fumes was released, causing many disciples to collapse motionlessly onto the ground upon the slightest ingestion.

“The Maiden Sage of Seven Emotions Sect, I wish you a safe journey to the other side!”

The Tempest Sword Sovereign discharged the sword qi at his fingertip that turned into an enormous sword shadow.

Leng Ningyu had nowhere to flee as she was locked down by the sword aura.

As the sword shadow descended, Leng Ningyu was still gazing out of the Seven Emotion Sect’s entrance.

Perhaps, she was still looking forward to something happening.

“No!”

Lady Leng Yue shrieked in utter perturbation!

All of the sudden, the Tempest Sword Sovereign felt something amiss as a strange look washed over his face.

Someone had clutched onto his sword shadow!
