Chapter 248: Life and Death Crisis!
In the Purple Bamboo Forest, the purple bamboo continued to sway wildly, its purple leaves fluttering like rain in a dream. However, Meng Chaoran and Wu Yunliang had already vanished without a trace!
In the area where everyone had been fighting, the ground was a bloody mess, with flesh and blood scattered everywhere. Two figures lay quietly on the ground: the brothers from the Black Blood Alliance, Wu Chengfeng and Wu Chengyun!
Each one had a sword pierced through their throats, dying instantly! Among the remaining ten, the faces of the brothers Sun Jian and Sun Feng were pale, their mouths stained with blood. Additionally, two martial sovereigns from the Golden Horse Knights Hall had ashen faces, their hair disheveled. The female martial sovereign was flushed, and she spat out a mouthful of blood!
The contact between the two sides had lasted only a brief moment!
Meng Chaoran desperately broke through, everyone else was frantically trying to stop him, and Wu Yunliang was doing his utmost to block; it was a fight for their lives! In the instant they made contact, they immediately separated, resulting in such an unbelievable outcome!
The ninth-grade martial sovereign from the Golden Horse Knights Hall stared wide-eyed at Sun Jian, his eyes as round as copper bells, nearly ready to swallow him whole: "Did you not say... that this Meng Chaoran only has the cultivation level of a ninth-grade martial sect?"
"It is indeed a ninth-grade martial sect! Last year, I even..." Sun Jian stammered, perplexed: How could a ninth-grade martial sect manage to break through the interception of eight martial sovereigns? How could he be so fierce? Although he had the advantage of terrain, it shouldn’t be possible...
"Shut... your mouth! Go... ninth-grade martial sect!" The ninth-grade martial sovereign from the Golden Horse Knights Hall was furious and slapped him hard on the face, pointing at the carnage on the ground, he growled in a low voice: "Your ninth-grade martial sect is so fierce? Damn you! A ninth-grade martial sect facing the siege of eight martial sovereigns and four martial sects, killing two and fighting to a draw with the others before escaping? Is this a joke... or your eyes playing tricks on you?"
Sun Jian was slapped and spun around, stars flashing in his vision, as he covered his mouth and muttered repeatedly, "It can't be... it can't be..."
"The facts are right before you, and you still can't see them?" The martial sovereign expert kicked him forcefully, sending him flying: "Useless!"
"Chase! Both of them are injured; they definitely can't escape far!" The ninth-grade martial sovereign from the Golden Horse Knights Hall waved his hand, and eight people rushed into the Purple Bamboo Forest!
What this martial sovereign expert did not say was that in the midst of all the chaos, he had no idea whether he had exchanged a blow with Wu Yunliang or Meng Chaoran, causing his wrist to nearly break and his palm to still feel numb, with a dull pain in his chest!
That was why he was so enraged about the false information!
What he didn’t know was that everything the blade sect from the Divine Blade Pavilion had said was true; a year ago, and even six months ago, Meng Chaoran had indeed been a ninth-grade martial sect!
However, after acquiring Chu Yang's body refining method, Meng Chaoran found that his progress was faster and seemed to be boundless, remarkably increasing his cultivation level by six ranks in just half a year! This was absolutely unimaginable before!
Now, Meng Chaoran was already a fifth-grade martial sovereign, and his power was far purer than that of an average martial sovereign at the same level; even Wu Yunliang benefited from him, reaching the eighth-grade martial sovereign level!
The Golden Horse Knights Hall’s mission was orchestrated by Jing Menghun, specifically dispatching two ninth-grade martial sovereigns and six other martial sovereigns above the third tier to execute this task, operating on the principle of using a mountain to crush a mosquito. They aimed to obliterate him in one strike. But they never expected the situation would change so drastically!
