Chapter 591: Chapter 280: Emperor’s Son Qin Yao, Splitting the Qingping Sword

A sinister smile.

Cang Kuang immediately pointed with two fingers, and the long sword behind him leaped, rushing towards the collapsed courtyard below.

However.

Just as his Sword Light moved, a hazy gray light descended from the sky, striking the long sword, causing it to tilt.

The long sword swayed to the side, crashing into and destroying several auxiliary buildings.

“Humph!”

A middle-aged man walked into the void. In his hand was a golden formation disc, emitting light corresponding to the Formation enveloping the site.

This middle-aged man was Xu Meng, one of the two Luofu Mountain true disciples stationed in Taijing City. Although Xu Meng wasn’t among the Sword Species, he was a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator. With the help of the Fourth-stage Array Method, he could block Cang Kuang’s sword.

Cang Kuang’s gaze shifted from the courtyard, landing on Xu Meng who was blocking his way. Raising an eyebrow, a killing intent emerged.

“Xu Meng, are you not waiting for that old ghost Liang Shen to die so you can take his place, and instead, come out here to die first?”

“Or do you think that I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”

Not only was Cang Kuang reckless, but he also had a trait that everyone hated.

Foul-mouthed.

Extremely foul-mouthed.

If not for his formidable strength and exaggerated combat prowess, he would have been killed long ago due to his foul mouth.

Even within Luofu Mountain, many Monarch elders did not like him. However, the Sword Species, especially those in the top ten, held positions that were no worse than those of ordinary Monarch cultivators.

Cang Kuang was ranked among the top three Sword Species, possessing astonishing combat prowess. Even the Monarch elders might not have an easy time dealing with him if they stepped in personally.

However.

Xu Meng didn’t show anger but merely frowned.

“Junior Brother Cang, do you intend to kill Senior Brother Liang under everyone’s gaze?”

Cang Kuang ignored Xu Meng’s words and instead shifted his gaze towards the collapsed courtyard below, showing a hint of confusion.

A moment ago, he had seen the inner disciple who had opened the gate suddenly disappear, faster than himself by a hair’s breadth. With only his physical strength, he had severely injured Liang Shen, sent him flying through several walls, causing the house to collapse and dust to fill the air.

Immediately after.

That inner disciple, however, strangely fell to the ground, unable to get up. As he fell, another unfamiliar aura flickered past. His sword attack was aimed at this aura, but Xu Meng’s formation power had knocked his long sword off course.

Yet, as his attention was slightly diverted, the unfamiliar aura had already vanished completely. If not for his keen perception, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

However, under the coverage of his divine consciousness, the entire area no longer held that unfamiliar aura.

Strange.

Very strange.

Was someone setting a trap for him?

As Cang Kuang’s brow furrowed slightly, another true disciple of the site, Yan Liu, had already flown down to the collapsed courtyard below, finding Liang Shen, who was unconscious but not in mortal danger.

After an examination, Yan Liu let out a sigh of relief.

“Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Liang is still alive, he’s just passed out.”

“Moreover, the injuries he suffered are to his flesh, someone with body refinement skills has severely injured him in an instant.”

After speaking, Yan Liu looked at Cang Kuang in mid-air with a doubtful gaze, then hesitatingly explained, “It shouldn’t have been done by Junior Brother Cang.”

Xu Meng furrowed his eyebrows, and suddenly he noticed another figure in the courtyard below.

“It’s Tan Su; why is he here?”

At this moment.

Cang Kuang in midair shook his head and lightly beckoned, recalling the long sword below. Then, without any hesitation, he turned and left, leaving only four words echoing through the site.

“A bunch of idiots.”

Xu Meng did not stop him from leaving; instead, the formation disc in his hand glowed, opening a gap for Cang Kuang to leave.

Then, he landed.

After a quick examination, he found that Tan Su was unharmed but had been drugged into a coma. Xu Meng happened to have a common antidote for this type of drug on him.

One minute later.

As the antidote took effect, Tan Su slowly regained consciousness. However, he was horrified to find that he was surrounded by two true disciples and numerous inner disciples, making him terrified.

Under Xu Meng’s questioning, Tan Su explained his situation of preparing to go outside but not knowing why he was in the site.

Xu Meng used a secret method to verify the truth of his words.

However, according to Liang Shen, who had later awakened from his serious injuries, there was another version: Tan Su had severely injured him with a single punch. What was strange was that the Qiankun Ring on his body had not been lost; instead, two newly-acquired Sword Tools in the meditation room were missing.

After looking at each other, the people present quickly pieced together the events.

Someone had infiltrated using Tan Su’s identity, and after severely injuring Liang Shen, had stolen the two Sword Tools from the meditation room before quietly leaving under everyone’s watch.

However.

To be able to slip in and out like this, even without being trapped by the formation, the cultivator must be at least a Half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, if not a true Nascent Soul Cultivator. It’s just that they didn’t dare to forcibly break into Luofu Mountain openly and instead quietly infiltrated this place.

At this time, Liang Shen’s expression darkened as he considered the most obvious possibility.

“These two Sword Tools were found not long ago on the periphery of Taijing Mountain. They are of extremely high grade; one is a top-tier magic treasure, and the other is a supreme-grade magic treasure. At that time, there was no owner found around the Sword Tools.”
