Chapter 1920: Pei Yutian’s Saber

There were many caves at the bottom of the cliff. Negative, evil energy was pervading out of these caves as if the place was connected to the underworld.

In between two strange rocks, outside a cave, many cultivators had gathered, their eyes on Pei Yutian, who was sitting cross-legged, recessing inside the cave opening.

This cave was so unusual that it had always been hidden. It was not only recently that it was exposed.

Looking from the outside, the cave appeared like a snake with its mouth wide open, baring its venomous fangs with extremely heinous looks.

The cave was dark and spooky. There were vague flickers of light and ghostly shadows. No one knew how deep the cave was and where it led to.

Pei Yutian sat cross-legged inside the cave with a rock laid horizontally across his legs. As he exhaled and inhaled, his powerful saint Qi formed an illusory, bubble-like Qi shield to engulf him within.

The strange energy field outside the cave was preventing those elites from storming into the cave.

A gray-robed Taoist suddenly moved across the strange energy field and appeared in front of Pei Yutian.

“I am right in here, Pei Yutian. You had better hand over the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb so I don’t have to do it myself.” The gray-robed Taoist guffawed.

Pei Yutian looked indifferent. He reached to hold his rock saber and casually performed a slash.

The gray-robed Taoist was shocked, his pupils contracted and immediately gathered his powerful saint Qi. But the saint Qi shield broke apart like a thin piece of paper in front of the saber.

The saber slashed him in half at the waist. He dropped dead to the ground, drenched in his own blood.

There were still many people who feared no death.

Just then, another man lunged into the cave and cast out a brand at Pei Yutian.

The brand was bursting with golden light as inscriptions appeared to release the full strength of the Fifth Radiance.

Pei Yutian appeared composed as he thrust the saber into the ground.

Boom!

Thousands of sharp saber Qi bust out of the ground and formed a terrifying saber force field.

Hit by the saber Qi, the brand lost its power and plunged from the air.

Meanwhile, the saber Qi penetrated the elite fighter who cast out the brand and shattered his body. All that was left behind was a pile of shattered bones on the ground.

The gray-robed Taoist and the old monk using the brand had high attainment in their respective self-cultivation. but none of them could withstand Pei Yutian’s saber attack.

Finally, some elite fighters could no longer hold back and made their moves.

Sensing the danger, Pei Yutian looked up and saw variegated tiger claws emerging ten yards away. With all the ghostly images surrounding it, it was hard to tell which was real.

The tiger claws looked menacing and extremely intimidating.

A grave look flashed in Pei Yutian’s eyes. He quickly raised his rock saber to meet the variegated tiger claws.

Bang!

The variegated tiger claws hit the rock saber and a terrifying force traveled up the rock saber.

Pei Yutian bounced to his feet. The saint-Qi shield around him shattered as he was forced to take three steps backward.

“Nine-Step Saint King. Lesser Precept World!”

Seeing the strong man walking toward him, Pei Yutian’s heart skipped a beat.

There was a strong evil energy coming from the man, who never bothered to conceal his powerful air. There seemed to be a vague shadow of a fearsome, vicious tiger behind the man

“Hand over the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb and I will grant you a dignified death.” The man’s voice was grim.

Pei Yutian said nothing, just held up his rock saber as he infused his saint Qi into it.

Clear streaks of pattern appeared on the rock saber as a strange power was triggered.

“Kill!”

Pei Yutian shouted quietly as he lunged forward, waving his rock saber in his hand.

A bright light burst out of the saber as he struck at the strong man.

“Moribund!” The strong man hissed.

He struck out a hand, and it turned into variegated tiger claws.

The variegated tiger claws ballooned as large as ten-yard across as it went against the headwind.

At that moment, streaks of black lightning emerged and wrapped around the variegated tiger claws.

The saber light shattered at once as the variegated tiger paw grabbed it.

At the same time, nearly a hundred black lightnings that looked like venomous snakes shot out.

Pei Yutian tried his best to block them. Even so, three black lightning slipped through and hit him, leaving behind three charred bloody wounds in his body.

As they engaged again, Pei Yutian was outmatched. All he could do was to parry and had no means of fighting back.

“How dare a Seven-Step Saint King try to resist me!”

The strong man snickered, his eyes filled with scorn.

Variegated tiger claws got even larger as it reached to grab Pei Yutian.

As the strange energy field of the cave continued to weaken, the other people could barge in soon. So before that happened, he had to kill Pei Yutian and take all the treasure for himself.

At least, he was determined to get that Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb.

If push comes to shove, he would take the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb, leave the Kunlun Realm, and find a place to refine it. By then, when he would achieve a quantum leap in his cultivation base, and no one could do anything about it.

Bang!

Pei Yutian was forced back with blood oozing out from the corner of his mouth.

The difference between a Seven-Step and Nine-Step Saint King was simply too huge. Pei Yutian was still punching above his weight, no matter how talented he was.

After all, he did not have the supreme, perfect physique of Zhang Ruochen. It was fantastic of him to fight someone whose cultivation base was two-realm higher than he was. He was just a Saint King, and his opponent was apparently no slouch.

The strong man came with more attacks, not giving Pei Yutian the chance to catch his breath.

Bang!

The variegated tiger claws hit Pei Yutian, sending him flying backward deeper into the cave before crashing into a rock.

Pei Yutian puked a mouthful of blood that mixed with bits and pieces of his broken organs.

It was freezing deeper inside the cave, and his blood was frozen into red ice crystals instantly.

The rock that he had crashed into and broke apart just now was emitting a divine light.

An incredibly strange scene appeared as rocks fell from the cave ceiling with loud rumbles.

Evil air dissipated as a divine energy spread along the divine light.

The brilliant light shone from the cave dome looked as if they were stars, pearls, and gemstones.

In fact, those were the Godstones.

A pond appeared in sight under the illumination of the divine light. The pond was glowing in red as a divine energy outspread. That was a pond of divine blood, apparently.

“Godstones! divine blood!

The strong man was wide-eyed, extremely excited.

For a second, his attention was drawn to the Godstones and divine blood. He lunged toward them with no regard for how dangerous it was.

“Die!”

Taking this opportunity, Pei Yutian lunged out, striking at the strong man’s waist.

The strong man came to his senses and quickly blocked the attack with both hands as variegated tiger claws.

The rock saber had a dull edge, yet it was incredibly sharp—so sharp that it cut through the variegated tiger claws completely.

“Already attained Eight-Step Saint Kinghood?”

The strong man looked in shock and was in disbelief.

From what he had learned earlier, Pei Yutian was supposed to have only attained Seven-Step Saint Kinghood recently. How could he make another breakthrough so quick?

“Could it be because of the… Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb?”

The penny dropped as the thought came to mind.

How could Pei Yutian have not used the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb when he had risked his life to get it?

After hiding for four to five days at the bottom of the Cliff of Doom, Pei Yutian had enough time to refine part of the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb and achieve another self-cultivation breakthrough.

After attaining Eight-Step Saint Kinghood, Pei Yutian had gotten a substantial increase in strength. His attack was incomparably better than last time.

The strong man was too careless and found himself in trouble. He quickly retreated, trying to get himself out of trouble.

But Pei Yutian would not want to let go of this opportunity. He kept pursued and gathered more saint Qi, and essence and blood in his rock saber.

He was badly wounded. He knew that if he did not get rid of this strong man, he would be done for.

The rock saber absorbed his essence and blood, and the blade turned blood-red, as if blood was flowing in the veins.

For a time, the rock saber seemed to have come to life, its

Rhythm was completely in sync with that of Pei Yutian.

Pei Yutian and his rock saber became one in spirit. He performed a strike that looked absolutely mundane, yet there were several hundred beams of blood-red saber Qi burst out of the move, striking at the strong man.

The strong man froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Flashes of blood burst out of the strong man’s body and cut him into pieces.

Pei Yutian was staggering and almost fell to the ground.

He had exhausted much of his energy in this move. If not for his powerful will holding him up, he would have collapsed to the ground.

But the battle had not ended yet.

…

Fifteen shadows swooshed across the strange energy field into the cave in tandem.

Frenzied expression was in their eyes. They drooled as they stared at the vast field of starry scene and the divine blood pond behind Pei Yutian.

They were coming for the treasure of Pei Yutian and did not expect to find such surprises at the bottom of the Cliff of Doom.

Both the Godstones and divine blood were incredibly valuable. No one would say no to these things.

The only thing was, they were wary of Pei Yutian. For a moment, no one dared to go any further.

They couldn’t help it; Pei Yutian had just killed a Nine-Step Saint King. Who would not be cautious?

“Fret not! He is wounded and on his last legs!”

“He must have refined the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb to achieve an Eight-Step Saint Kinghood breakthrough. I will throw him into the sacred furnace to extract the essence of the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb from him!”

…

The group of elite eyeing Pei Yutian greedily.

Pei Yutian stood erect with the rock saber in his hand. “Even if I am wounded, you all a den of thieves couldn’t do much harm to me. Who wants to die first can come over.”

“Pei Yutian, things have come to such a pass and you still want to call us bluffs? Let us kill him and his treasure is free for us to grab!” said an Eight-Step Saint King.

The rest looked at each other, all having the same intention.

Their cultivation base varied between Six-Step and Eight-Step Saint Kinghoods, none of them a Nine-Step Saint King. If fighting one-on-one, no one was confident of taking down Pei Yutian. So their best bet was to join hands.

“Now!”

Fifteen Saint Kings made their moves at once.

But they still appeared extremely cautious. No one dared to go near Pei Yutian. They just cast out their weapons or performed their saint techniques to attack Pei Yutian from afar.

Pei Yutian suddenly appeared more intimidating as he struck his saber horizontally.

Saber Qi burst out of the rock saber in a tidal wavelike saber Qi storm.

Boom!

The Saber Qi storm pulled those weapons into itself and shredded them into pieces.

Meanwhile, those saint techniques crumpled in front of the saber Qi storm, too.

“How could it be possible? Did he not just attain Eight-Step Saint Kinghood?”

“I am sure he is wounded. Or is he feigning it?”

“It is the rock saber that triggered the energy of heaven and earth.”

“This guy is too crazy. Run!”

…

It shocked the fifteen saint kings to see how overpowering Pei Yutian’s strength was. They beat a hasty retreat, not wanting to go head-to-head with him.

But it was not up to them. The saber Qi storm moved so quickly and was all-engulfing.

Following a series of screams and cries, six Six-Step Saint Kings were shredded by the saber Qi storm.

One more person, a Seven-Step Saint King, screamed before ending up with the same fate.

At last, the saber Qi storm subsided and the other eight elites had retreated far enough.

They might have survived but been badly wounded. Among them, two Seven-Step Saint Kings almost lost their lives as half of their bodies were shredded by the saber Qi storm.

Damaged by the saber Qi storm, rocks in many parts of the cave broke apart and exposed the glistening divine bones.

Pei Yutian suddenly looked up and out at the outside.

Four horrifying evil air of death that looked like four black suns were flying rapidly over. Their aggressiveness was causing the souls of the eight Saint Kings to shiver in fear.

“It’s the Deathkin! Run!”
