Chapter 465: Time Like a Saber, Slaying a Genius
In the palace in the capital of the Wood Nation.
Cui Heng’s eyes were slightly closed as he sat cross-legged in the air. His entire body emitted a bright silver light, as if he had the ability to wither and decay everything.
He was comprehending the mysteries of the Time Saber.
In a pavilion not far away, the Princess stood there. She held a plate with both hands with a teacup and teapot on it as she quietly looked at Cui Heng.
She had been arranged by the Wood Emperor to come over.
According to the Wood Emperor, Supreme Venerate Cui’s disciples and followers had already left. Letting this esteemed guest live alone in the palace would seem like the Wood Nation was not treating him well.
However, it was clearly not appropriate to let ordinary palace maids serve him.
Hence, after obtaining Cui Heng’s agreement, the Wood Emperor sent the Princess, Mu Lingyun, to this palace to serve Cui Heng.
She lived in a side hall beside Cui Heng and was in charge of serving tea, cooking, washing dishes, and other daily chores.
Now, what she had to do was wait for Cui Heng to finish his cultivation before carrying the teacup over and serving Cui Heng a sip of tea.
The tea leaves used to brew the tea were clearly not ordinary.
Even if she was only holding the teapot and teacup, she could feel that they contained powerful laws. As long as she came into close contact with them, her cultivation realm would increase.
If one stood not far away when Cui Heng was meditating to comprehend spells, they would still feel as if they were facing the source of the Great Dao laws of Heaven and Earth. They could comprehend many mysteries of the Great Dao that they usually needed to comprehend for thousands of years.
To Mu Lingyun, she was simply lucky to come to Cui Heng’s side to serve him.
In just a few days, she had improved by leaps and bounds.
Whether it was her basic aptitude or her cultivation, they had all increased greatly.
It was worlds apart from before she came to serve Cui Heng.
Therefore, Mu Lingyun was filled with gratitude towards Cui Heng.
After all, she knew very well that the reason why she could obtain these improvements was because she had obtained Cui Heng’s permission.
If Cui Heng did not allow it, it was impossible for her to improve in all ways.
“I really want to do something for the Supreme Venerable, but I’m too weak.” Mu Lingyun looked at Cui Heng not far away and sighed softly in her heart.
She knew very well that to Cui Heng, she was even worse than an ant and could not help much at all. She could only remember this favor in her heart and repay it when she became stronger in the future.
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky. It was actually someone shouting incomparably arrogantly in the sky.
“Where’s Jiang Hengxia’s master? Come out and die quickly!!”
This voice was like a sudden clap of thunder in a silent environment.
At the same time that it was deafening, it made one’s heart tremble.
Mu Lingyun was also shocked by this voice. Her entire body subconsciously trembled, and the tray in her hand tilted. The teacup and teapot were about to fall.
However, at this moment, a gentle force suddenly enveloped the teacup and teapot, allowing them to float in the air and not fall to the ground.
It was Cui Heng.
He had already woken up from his meditation.
“Supreme Venerable Cui!” Mu Lingyun hurriedly put down the teacup and teapot when she saw this. She bowed slightly to Cui Heng and said, “Thank you, Supreme Venerable.”
“Alright.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and looked up at the sky. He chuckled and said, “I really didn’t expect the people from the Longevity Divine Mountain to find this place themselves. It saved me a lot of time.”
“What, this, this person actually came from the Longevity Divine Mountain?” Mu Lingyun’s face turned pale when she heard this and she became a little flustered.
In her understanding, an ancient sect like the Longevity Divine Mountain was the top faction in the world. They were all big shots that the entire Wood Nation could not afford to provoke.
Now, someone from the Longevity Divine Mountain had actually come here aggressively… What was he doing?
Thinking of this, a guess suddenly appeared in Mu Lingyun’s heart. She looked at Cui Heng in shock and said with a trembling voice, “Supreme Venerable, you, you can’t be the master of Jiang Hengxia that that person said, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and smiled. “This person is here for me.”
“This, this, this is the Longevity Divine Mountain! Supreme Venerable!” Mu Lingyun said in panic and worry, “I, I’ll beg Father now and ask him to do his best to hold back this person from the Longevity Divine Mountain. Leave this place quickly.”
Although she had seen Cui Heng attack before and understood that Cui Heng’s realm must be extremely high, her understanding of the Longevity Divine Mountain was already deeply rooted. When she heard that, her first reaction was to retreat. She felt that they could not fight him head-on and thought that he was courting death.
“There’s no need.” Cui Heng shook his head gently. There was still a gentle smile on his face as he said to Mu Lingyun, “A mere Third Heaven Gate realm cultivator is nothing.”
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and extended an index finger. Then, a bright silver light spun on his fingertip, flowing like water.
This was an incomparably beautiful saber beam.
Mu Lingyun, who was inches away, could not help but be intoxicated with just a glance. She muttered, “What beautiful light.”
At the same time, Cui Heng spat out a word.
“Slash!”
After Qin Feng’s voice resounded throughout the entire capital of the Wood Nation, everyone here fell into panic.
Even the Wood Emperor was no exception.
A group of ancient Heavenly Gods living in seclusion in the depths of the palace were also alarmed. They broke out of seclusion and arrived beside the Wood Emperor, all of them looking at the sky in surprise.
They all felt an incomparably powerful force from this voice.
This was a power that completely surpassed the Heavenly God level.
Venerable!
“What’s going on? Why did a Venerable appear in our capital?”
“Who’s Jiang Hengxia’s master? Why did a Venerable find our capital?!”
“Woe, woe! I remember this person’s aura. He’s probably not an ordinary Venerable. He should be from the Longevity Divine Mountain!”
“What?! The ancient great sect, the Longevity Divine Mountain?!”
At this moment, they all fell into an unprecedented panic. They all stared at the Wood Emperor, hoping that he would give them a reasonable explanation and solution.
“Longevity Divine Mountain. It’s really the Venerable of the Longevity Divine Mountain…” The Wood Emperor also felt his scalp tingle and he became uneasy. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Before this, he only thought that Cui Heng wanted to deal with Evergreen Heights. He did not expect to really provoke a Venerable from the Longevity Divine Mountain.
This was big trouble!
If even the Imperial City was in such a panic, one could imagine what the scene outside the Imperial City was like.
This sudden shout made everyone in the capital of the Wood Country feel an incomparable fear, and their hearts fell into despair.
No one knew what to do, nor did anyone know what was happening now.
Only fear and despair filled their hearts.
At the same time, in the sky, Qin Feng looked down at the living beings below and sneered. “A group of ants. They only know how to be afraid. How boring.”
At this moment, Old Song also rushed over. As soon as he stopped, he shouted in a low voice, “What are you doing? Why did you declare war directly? Why didn’t you test your opponent’s strength?!”
“What do I need to test him for? You want an invincible prodigy like me to test these ants and trash?” Qin Feng pointed down in disdain and said disdainfully, “You’re so afraid of these things? Also, are you mistaken? Is Jiang Hengxia’s master really…”
Clang!
At this moment, a clear metallic sound suddenly came from below, interrupting Qin Feng’s words and making Old Song’s mind tense up.
Sha!
It was like the sound of space and laws being unfolded.
A bright silver saber beam that was like water instantly crossed the sky and enveloped Qin Feng and Old Song.
They did not even have the chance to react before they completely lost the chance to escape.
The escape methods they had prepared earlier were all useless in an instant.
At this moment, everyone in the capital of the Wood Nation saw the saber beam that soared into the sky. Some were shocked, some were puzzled, some were afraid, and some were still in despair.
However, this did not affect the power of this slash at all.
This was—
The Time Saber!
“Ahhh!! No! No, no!!”
Qin Feng suddenly let out a hoarse scream.
In the beautiful saber light that was like water waves, he struggled and roared like a lunatic. “How can this be? What happened? What’s going on?!”
The moment he was enveloped by the saber light of time, Qin Feng’s lifespan began to flow away rapidly like a river entering the sea.
He could clearly feel his flesh shrinking, his bones and tendons becoming weak, his strength becoming thin, and his soul dissipating bit by bit.
Even the power characteristics he’d gained from the Heaven Gate, which was said to be eternal, actually emanated a decaying aura. It began to weaken and even dissipate!
“No, this can’t be, you can’t do this!” Qin Feng shouted in extreme fear. “Old Song, save me, save me! If this continues, I’ll die of old age!”
However, when he turned around, he saw that Old Song had long become a withered corpse beside him. He did not even have any vitality left.
Old Song was much older than Qin Feng.
Under the power of the Time Saber, all his lifespan was quickly cut off and he died on the spot.
However, the bronze bell hanging on Old Song’s waist was still glowing, emitting a charm that had been washed away by time.
Qin Feng knew the effect of this bell and its characteristics. His eyes lit up as if he had found a life-saving straw. He hurriedly rushed over and grabbed the bronze bell.
“Save me, save me, Time Bell, save me!”
Clang!
With a bell ring, the small bronze bell instantly turned into a huge bronze bell more than a thousand feet tall, trying to resist the bright silver saber light.
Unfortunately, this was useless.
The Time Saber was like a merciless river of time that washed over the bronze bell, instantly turning it into a useless bronze bell filled with bronze rust which fell down.
Qin Feng was completely in despair this time. In the end, only a wave of bright silver saber light was left in his eyes.
