System's Super Sect Chapter 1032 958: With External Threats Approaching, Resolve Heaven and Earth Lake's Internal Troubles First

Swish——

The Black Saber descended.

It merely drew a black sabre mark before everyone's eyes.

As the sabre mark dissipated, Hei Zhao, who had been standing close to the Sword Demon, recoiled in alarm.

His gaze was filled with profound dread.

Yet, it wasn't fear directed at the Sword Demon.

It was the terror of imminent death.

After retreating several meters, the light within Hei Zhao's Meridian Gate flickered out, akin to a candle consumed by flame.

Lan Feng gasped, "Hei——"

However, only a single syllable escaped his lips.

His cry was abruptly silenced.

For Hei Zhao's head, unmoored like a kite with a severed string, detached from his neck and tumbled downwards.

Then, with a torrent of blood, Hei Zhao gradually descended, much like a stone plunging into water.

Upon reaching the earth, he would never rise again!

"Dead."

Chen Xie observed the scene with little surprise.

Within the Immortal Sect, such occurrences were hardly uncommon.

Furthermore, this was merely Hei Zhao. The true commencement of conflict lay with the opening of the Curved Realm Passage.

Thus, Chen Xie merely offered another sigh.

"The Sword Demon Elder battled two Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivators in the Upper Realm; though he forfeited an arm and a leg, he ultimately emerged victorious."

What a shame.

This engagement could not be chronicled in the Immortal Daily of You Country.

Otherwise, the name of the Sword Demon Elder would echo throughout the Heaven-Gazing Gorge!

At this juncture, Di Ting, spared by Wen Ping's intervention, cast his eyes upon the scene of Hei Zhao's severed body and head, his expression growing increasingly somber.

The Immortal Sect truly operates with reckless abandon!

Are they utterly unfazed by the Covering Heaven Tower?

With the Curved Realm Passage on the verge of opening, the elimination of Hei Zhao and Lan Feng from the Battle Division now leaves no room for negotiation!

"Immortal Sect, do you genuinely perceive yourselves as a colossal power akin to You Country?" Di Ting mused inwardly, then witnessed Lan Feng, transforming into a fleeting shadow, make his escape.

Like a whipped cur!

Like a dog fleeing with its tail tucked in shame!

Sinking once more into abject terror, Lan Feng no longer possessed the will or the courage to confront the Sword Demon.

His sole desire was survival!

Achieving the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted realm was no trivial feat.

He had no intention of perishing here at Heaven and Earth Lake.

"Fleeing now?" The Sword Demon narrowed his eyes at Lan Feng's retreating form, promptly retracting the Holy Light Will and instead deploying the Holy Light Shining technique.

Holy Light descended!

The severed arm and leg began to regenerate bone and flesh at a gradual pace.

The Sword Demon had intended to pursue and eliminate Lan Feng; his relentless drive to kill Lan Feng surpassed even his previous animosity towards Broken Mirror.

What a lamentable turn of events.

The grievous wounds to his Spirit Body, sustained from the severed limbs, were substantial.

Although his Spiritual Power remained abundant, his Spirit Body suffered damage to nearly ninety percent, rendering him incapable of prolonging the battle.

"I shall permit your flight for a brief interval, but your life, I shall undoubtedly claim!" Sensing the nascent recovery of his Spirit Body and Spiritual Power, the Sword Demon fixed his intense gaze upon Lan Feng's retreating back, his murderous intent overflowing.

Perceiving the frigid killing intent emanating from behind, Lan Feng intensified his speed, not daring to glance back.

He fled, crying out as he went.

"Sect Leader Wen, grant me another chance!"

"Grant me another chance!"

"I can provide assistance!"

"The Curved Realm Passage opens tomorrow; I can help you repel the vanguard army from the War Department!"

However, Wen Ping remained impassive.

He possessed intimate knowledge regarding the feasibility of halting the vanguard army's passage through the Curved Realm Passage.

If such a hindrance were possible, why would he be stationed at Thousand Mechanism Lake, intercepting the exit?

The Sword Demon directed a fleeting glance towards the motionless Flying Ship before returning his attention to Lan Feng, a mocking smile gracing his lips as he declared, "If you dare to provoke our Immortal Sect, you ought to have been prepared for the prospect of death!"

As his words concluded, a Black Shadow surged forth from Vast City.

Swish——

It reached Lan Feng with astonishing velocity, subsequently penetrating his very being.

Suspended in mid-air, Lan Feng abruptly ceased his movement.

He stood immobile, like a lifeless effigy.

Suddenly.

The Black Scythe unleashed a crescent-shaped burst of dark energy, violently cleaving Lan Feng in two.

Lan Feng met his demise!

Having slain Lan Feng, the Dark Stream Annihilation calmly retreated, making its way back to Undead Hell.

The Sword Demon gazed at Lan Feng's descending corpse, lamenting with a sigh, "To perish so swiftly, it truly makes it simple for you!"

With Lan Feng now deceased, the Sword Demon descended rapidly.

Finding an isolated spot, he commenced the restoration of his physical form using Holy Light Shining.

Concurrently, Di Ting fixated on the direction where the Dark Stream Annihilation had vanished, lost in contemplation.

This Black Shadow, what manner of entity was it? He had never encountered it before.

Nor had he ever heard any mention of it.

Yet, it was certain that its power was in no way inferior to that of any War God within the Battle Division."Relying on that to face the Battle Division is far too naive," Di Ting scoffed. Five War Gods were the might of the Vanguard Army! Just then, the Flying Ship began its slow descent, drawing closer to Di Ting. As Wen Ping became clearly visible aboard the ship, Di Ting felt a profound sense of unease. Wen Ping remained remarkably composed and serene. Could it be that he wasn't truly desperate before facing his end? Or was it genuine confidence? However, Di Ting quickly dismissed this notion, convinced Wen Ping was merely feigning calmness. Confident in facing the Covering Heaven Tower? The Immortal Sect was hardly a colossal power like You Country! If the Immortal Sect possessed such immense strength, why would they remain confined to a secluded place like Heaven and Earth Lake? Furthermore, the Immortal Sect had only recently begun its development, barely over a year old. "Di Ting, do you desire to live?" Wen Ping inquired. Di Ting responded, "Sect Leader Wen, if you intend to recruit me, it's best to abandon that thought quickly. Joining your Immortal Sect would inevitably lead to my demise. Since death is unavoidable, I would rather meet my end as part of the Covering Heaven Tower than the Immortal Sect." "No, you overestimate your own worth. You are not yet qualified to join the Immortal Sect." Recruit him? Without the Black Shadow, bringing Di Ting into the fold would undoubtedly benefit the All-Knowing Tower.
