91: They are all cowards who are afraid of death.
Su Fan, helpless, transformed into a streak of sword light and quickly ascended to the sky.
This time, the phenomenon was not intentional on Su Fan's part; rather, his divine sword, the Drunken Immortal Sword, had lost control.
"Why is it always Flame Immortal for every battle?"
"This time, to eliminate the Demon Sect, I must have a part in it!"
"Flame Immortal doesn't even have complete consciousness. If I were to appear, wouldn't it be more impressive?"
"Wine! Wine! Wine! Bring wine to this divine sword!"
If Su Fan wanted to instantly kill a Peak Ninth Level of the Spirit Sea Realm expert, he still needed the power of either the Flame Immortal or the Drunken Immortal Sword.
In many previous choices, Su Fan had always chosen Flame Immortal.
And this time, Su Fan was again using Flame Immortal to comprehend Sword Intent, making it clear he didn't want to use the Drunken Immortal Sword.
"Why don't you use me?"
"In terms of appearance, I am ten levels higher than Flame Immortal!"
"In terms of Sword Intent, I am more spiritual than Flame Immortal, and can align better with your Origin Sword Intent."
"In terms of grade, although Flame Immortal and I are both divine swords, I am clearly more flexible and can unleash more of the human body's potential."
"Why don't you use me!"
The Drunken Immortal Sword was furious.
If Su Fan didn't use either sword, he wouldn't feel any injustice, as sleeping for a hundred or a thousand years was commonplace for it.
However, Su Fan frequently used Flame Immortal but not him, which made him feel a sense of crisis.
"It's precisely because you talk too much that I don't dare to use you."
Su Fan sighed.
Possessing a divine sword of a grade surpassing Heaven-Grade secret treasures was already astonishing enough.
If this divine sword were to exhibit extremely high intelligence and even speak while fighting...
Then, it's likely that all the Soul Transformation experts in the entire Lei Province would jump out to seize this treasure.
With Su Fan's current capabilities, he might still be a bit lacking against a Soul Transformation expert.
"So that's it! That's easy! I won't speak then!"
"I am just a sword spirit of a divine sword; I don't like talking to humans anyway."
"Moreover, I am skilled at breaking Formations! No matter what Formation it is, I can break it!"
"Wine! Wine! Wine! As long as you give me enough wine to drink, killing enemies and breaking Formations are no problem for me!"
It can also break Formations?
Su Fan only felt a flicker of interest after hearing this remark.
He was just about to put Flame Immortal back into his storage ring to test what effects the Drunken Immortal Sword, combined with his ninety-one-pattern Golden Core and Sword Intent, could produce.
However, he didn't expect Flame Immortal to show extreme displeasure and immediately started fighting with the Drunken Immortal Sword.
Divine swords clashed, Qi collided, and the Drunken Immortal Sword and Flame Immortal instantly soared into the sky.
They directly split the sky in half!
This led to Su Fan's emergence from seclusion and the many Spirit Sea Realm experts witnessing the sky tearing apart.
"Incredible, I actually felt two powerful Sword Intents."
"Those seem to be two Heaven-Grade secret treasures, and they are Heaven-Grade secret treasures of extremely high quality. Their grade is definitely no lower than the Eight Immortals Sword Formation."
"If I could use this sword, I might not be unable to kill the Sect Master of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect!"
"Could these be the Heaven-Grade secret treasures to be awarded?"
The eyes of many Spirit Sea Realm experts were filled with fervent desire!
If they could obtain one of these two divine swords, let alone besieging and killing the Sect Master of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect...
Even if they had to dig up all the ancestral graves of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, they wouldn't hesitate for a moment.
As everyone's eyes burned with envy, Su Fan stepped into the air, and his Divine Soul power suppressed the area.
Although both divine swords had independent consciousnesses, they were ultimately Su Fan's swords. Faced with Su Fan's Divine Soul suppression, they could only obediently fly back to Su Fan's side.
Clang!
As the divine swords returned to their sheaths, a large portion of the phenomenon in the sky instantly vanished.
Su Fan's figure also slowly descended as the sky-wide phenomenon disappeared.
After seven days of Cultivation, Su Fan's cultivation had risen from the Fourth Level of the Core Formation Realm to the Fifth Level of the Core Formation Realm.
His ninety-one-pattern Golden Core had absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy; his Golden Core power was unfathomable, even far surpassing most Spirit Sea Realm experts.
His superficial cultivation of the Fifth Level of the Core Formation Realm was actually equivalent to the Eighth Level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
However, to defeat a Ninth Level of the Spirit Sea Realm expert, he still couldn't do it with his own strength alone.
He needed the help of a divine sword.
"Why is this person only in the Core Formation Realm?"
"He's actually a Cultivator in the Core Formation Realm? Isn't this a joke?"
"The mysterious person who used Heaven-Grade secret treasures as bait to rally Lei Province Cultivators to jointly eliminate the Blood Shadow Demon Sect is actually a junior in the Core Formation Realm!"
"This encirclement of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect is probably a suicide mission. I'm leaving!"
The moment they saw Su Fan, everyone present felt their hearts sink.
To say that a Core Formation Realm expert would lead the attack on the Blood Shadow Demon Sect was inherently absurd!
Many people immediately stood up, making to leave the City Lord's Mansion.
The only reason they hadn't left yet was that they were attracted by Su Fan's two "Heaven-Grade secret treasure" longswords and were trying to figure out how to obtain these two treasures.
"Everyone, please calm down." Chu Qinglian's eyes showed extreme displeasure, "All of you present are prominent figures in Lei Province. I, Chu, originally thought you were all heroes and righteous Cultivators full of integrity, but I didn't expect..."
Chu Qinglian's gaze slowly swept over everyone present.
"But I didn't expect you to all be cowards!"
As soon as Chu Qinglian finished speaking, a middle-aged man carrying a heavy sword immediately stood up, fuming.
"Who are you talking about! Only a few people were about to leave; we didn't!"
"Yes, we are all willing to jointly eliminate the Blood Shadow Demon Sect. How can you say we are cowards?"
"A mere Seventh Level of the Spirit Sea Realm, how dare you speak so disrespectfully!"
Chu Qinglian's accusation of cowardice seemed to have provoked public anger.
The pressure from numerous Spirit Sea Realm experts rushed forward, directly causing Chu Qinglian's face to turn pale.
But her eyes remained sharp and firm.
"The Blood Shadow Demon Sect practices evil arts. All the demonic Cultivators within the Sect devour people. They use the essence and blood of ordinary people as a guide and young children as medicine to increase their cultivation; they use the Physical Bodies of Cultivators as Materials and Golden Cores as the core for Artifact Refining and Alchemy."
"This is almost an open secret among all the Righteous Path Sects in the entire Lei Province, yet the Blood Shadow Demon Sect has stood in Lei Province for over a hundred years without being eradicated! This is the shame of Lei Province! It is the shame of us Righteous Path Cultivators!"
Chu Qinglian's gaze particularly focused on the Vice Sect Leader of the Beidou Sword Sect, who prided himself on his virtue and prestige.
"Especially the three major Sects of Lei Province, who clearly have the heritage of Soul Transformation Old Ancestors and strength not inferior to the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, yet they allow the Blood Shadow Demon Sect to poison the living beings of Lei Province. How lamentable, how ridiculous!"
Chu Qinglian's words, every single one, pierced the consciences of many Spirit Sea Realm experts present.
Those who could Cultivate to the Spirit Sea Realm were all individuals with firm Dao Hearts.
Even many Elders and Vice Sect Leaders from renowned great Sects were dedicated to maintaining peace and stability in their Sect's territory, considering themselves "prestigious righteous factions."
But now, these top experts from prestigious righteous factions were being pointed at and cursed by Chu Qinglian alone, yet they dared not utter a sound.
Finally, De Shuang Sword of the Beidou Sword Sect said:
"It's easy to say, but the Blood Shadow Demon Sect's Sect-protecting Formation is extremely overbearing. In the past hundred years, Righteous Path Sects have besieged it several times, but ultimately returned without success. As for exhausting the entire Sect's power to perish with the Blood Shadow Demon Sect? Let me see which Sect is willing to pay such a heavy price!"
De Shuang Sword's words also reflected the sentiments of the other Sects present.
Without absolute benefits, who would be willing to sacrifice their own Sect's power to eradicate a demonic Sect?
The atmosphere in the arena was tense.
But at this moment, Su Fan sighed softly and shook his head.
With an incomparably disappointed tone, he uttered two words.
"Cowards."
One stone stirred up a thousand ripples!
