God Emperor

Right now, all the hair on the back of Zhang Ruochens neck was standing up. He kept sweating and he felt extreme danger. His identity could be exposed at any time.

No matter what, I cant stay in the Yin and Yang Sect anymore, he thought. The people havent processed it now, but it wont take long before people think of me.

Sword Saint Xuanji evidently sensed that Zhang Ruochen was in danger as well. He huffed coldly and said, “Nine Serenity, according to what you said, youre the innocent one?”

The Nine Serenity Sword Saint chuckled. “Xuanji, weve been opponents for our entire lives. Dont you know how I am? Am I the type that doesnt dare take responsibility for what I do?”

After a pause, Sword Saint Xuanji said, “Id rather believe that youre saying things like this before the final duel to disrupt my mindset.”

By saying this, he was also protecting Zhang Ruochen. He wanted to lead everyone present to doubt the validity of what the Nine Serenity Sword Saint said.

The other Sword Saint was still smiling. He admitted it calmly. “Indeed, I just want to disrupt your mindset. How about you guess if I really killed that disciple of yours?”

People in the crowd started yelling.

Second disciple Zhu Hongtao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “Despicable. Hes so lowly. At this critical moment, the Nine Serenity Sword Saint is actually using Junior Brothers death to disturb Masters mindset.”

“Master loves Junior Brother the most and had such high hopes for him,” first disciple Saint Qingxiao said with a serious expression. “I hope he can compose himself and not be affected by Nine Serenity Sword Saints words.”

Other than Huang Yanchen, none of the other disciples knew that Zhang Ruochen was still alive.

Sword Saint Xuanji challenging the Nine Serenity Sword Saint was, in a way, also to protect Zhang Ruochen. He didnt want anyone to suspect that he was still alive. Just like now, even when the Nine Serenity Sword Saint said that he hadnt killed Zhang Ruochen, people would still doubt him.

The Nine Serenity Sword Saint had to be charged for this crime.

Afterward, the two Sword Saints fell silent and started confronting each other. The Qi radiating from them grew stronger.

Whether the Nine Serenity Sword Saint had killed Zhang Ruochen or not, this battle was inevitable. Both Sword Saints wanted to use this battle to reach the cultivation realm that they dreamed of.
