CHAPTER 544: CHAPTER 544 ACTUAL EFFECT

In his eyes, letting Yun Fan deal with someone like Yang Tian, an ant, was naturally effortless, but it could still have practical effects.

As for the other elders, they clearly understood Yun Fan’s situation as well, but chose to merely watch coldly.

Only the man on the sword slightly furrowed his brows, seemingly wanting to issue a warning.

Within the Divine Sword Sect, the three elders of the heavens, acknowledged as the strongest elders, were originally competing against each other for authority, but the gaps between them led to their judgments.

"You... you killed... killed him?"

Before anyone had a chance to boast to the Divine Arrow Sect elders about Yun Fan, they witnessed Yang Tian, with his bare hands, having already split Yun Fan in half, standing still in his place.

On one side, Murong Yan’s eyes were dull and lifeless.

Even though Yang Tian witnessed all this with his own eyes, he hesitated no longer and killed Song Cheng, Old Lushen, and the disciples like Lin Jingyun who headed toward the Mysterious Country.

But what of the situation?

What of the situation now?

Yang Tian actually killed Yun Fan in front of so many elders from the Chenjian Sect, even in the presence of two Earth Sword practitioners and Ren Sword practitioners among them.

This was absolutely not the perspective of the elders of the Divine Sword Sect!

It seemed the entire world trained in pursuit of truth, yet no one managed to tiptoe on the blade like the tyrannical Yang Tian!

Crash!

Amidst the stunned silence, an eruption of fury instantly shattered the chairs and tables in the hall, even cracking the walls!

One moment later, the master, standing in front, his eyes reddened, glared at Yang Tian. Veins bulged on his forehead as he growled through gritted teeth: "Vile beast! How dare you kill my disciple? I’ll strip your skin and tendons—your life is forfeit!"

You must understand, nurturing a disciple like Yun Fan was arduous even for someone like Elder Ren Jian, one of the three most powerful elders!

Moreover, for a long time now, the strength of the Sky Sword Master and Earth Sword Master could be compared, yet when it came to disciples, there was no equivalent to fall from the heavens.

Therefore, Yun Fan had always been Ren Jian’s pride.

At this moment, that pride, the representation of Ren Jian’s sole advantage among swordmasters, now lay under Yang Tian’s hand—how could he not despair? How could he not rage?

But faced with an enraged master of the worldly realm, Yang Tian merely smiled indifferently. Still, his tone gradually grew cold: "If you wish to join him, I can ensure your entirety meets the Ancestor!"

"You...!"

Hearing this, Elder Ren Jian’s anger surged uncontrollably, roaring: "Bah! Then this seat declares the death of your mutt!"

With these words spoken, Ren Jian raised one of his arms. A sharp sword light burst forth from it, piercing directly through the hall’s rooftop!

"Seems like this seat must step aside as well!"

Just as Elder Ren Jian appeared ready to strike, the Sword Master slowly descended. He floated above Yang Tian’s head, long sword in hand, exuding a commanding sword force!

Ren Jian’s disciple, Yun Fan, as one of the Three Elders of the Chenjian Sect, regardless of whether Yang Tian was worth it or not, his death by Yang Tian’s hand was justification enough!

Otherwise, should the master catch or kill Yang Tian without taking any action, it would unquestionably tarnish his reputation—a loss he could not afford!

After all, with the power of all three elders and a Sword Sect master at the helm, if blame were to fall, even the Sword Sect master himself could not shield him!

The Sword Master realized this and made his move. Naturally, even the slower-reacting elders quickly caught on!

In the hall now, the practitioners of Earth Sword, Ren Sword, and other methods lined up. Elder Jian, Elder Leng Jian, and Elder Baihong Jian unsheathed their swords one after another, standing coldly in midair, staring at Yang Tian.

The collective auras of the gathered elders caused Murong Yan, standing on the other side, to tremble unconsciously.

She had never seen such a battle before. At this moment, she looked at Yang Tian with complete helplessness. She had no idea how Yang Tian would face this near-certain death predicament!

Yet as she watched, she found Yang Tian remained unmoved, sneering: "Hah! So many of you... if Ben Niu doesn’t intervene, it’d simply be a waste!"

A waste, indeed?

Hearing Yang Tian’s words, the elders—like precious Divine Sword masters—either scoffed indifferently, sneered sarcastically, or regarded Yang Tian’s arrogance with outright disdain from high above.

Only the furious Elder Ren Jian roared: "Die!"

As he spoke, his arm glowed with a condensed sword light, growing even fiercer, and incredibly, dozens of sword strikes expanded outward, resembling Heavenly Pillars, crashing directly into Yang Tian.

Simultaneously, the revered sword aura sank, carrying a terrifying, storm-like pressure.

The disciples of the Chenjian Sect, unable to withstand the deafening silence and suffocating atmosphere, fell one by one to their knees outside the great hall, faces pale and filled with awe.

"Bravo!"

Facing Ren Jian’s divine sword, Yang Tian roared defiantly: "Truly audacious!"

Immediately, his body flashed with an intense brilliance.

Between the Sky Sword and Ren Sword elders and the subsequent Scattered God’s Sword trio, would they join forces?

Many people, drawn by the conflict in the sect hall, found themselves captivated by the sight of the five elders united. Suppressed, kneeling disciples of the Chenjian Sect bore expressions of reverence, even fanaticism, as they witnessed the terrifying scene.

To them, the elders of the Divine Sword Sect were invincible.

On ordinary days, such battles rarely occurred.

But now, with five elders banding together—two of them among the strongest, Du Jian and Ren Jian—this was unprecedented.

In their zeal, they kept their eyes fixed on Yang Tian, eager to see if he could force the five elders to act against this lunatic. Who was he, really?

Standing on the ground, facing the five elders, Yang Tian finally moved—his brows furrowing slightly.

He was left with two choices at this moment!

First, break the limits of the protective bracelet, shatter the bindings of heaven and earth’s laws upon him, and reconnect with his original strength—to face reality as his true self and crush his enemies as before!

Five mere minutes, that was all it would take!

Yang Tian was confident he could defeat these five elders one by one within those five minutes, but then what?

He had not come to the Divine Saber Sect to flaunt his power or to prove his abilities.

In truth, ever since killing the Azure Dragon Master, Yang Tian’s capabilities no longer required proof!

Yang Tian’s true goal was saving Chen Xue!

If he were to unleash his overwhelming power at this moment, though he might defeat the elders before him, the Divine Sword Sect master and the Three Immortals, along with Yun Han Immortal, would intervene to take Chen Xue.

By then, Yang Tian feared he would lack the strength to fight further.

Thus, Yang Tian had only one path left!

That was to stand against the five elders with his suppressed, scattered power!

However, among the five elders, the Earth Sword and Ren Sword elders were in the early stages of tribulation, while the other three were already in the later stages of divination.

Could he truly sustain such a fight?

"If only my avatar were here!"

Yang Tian sighed with regret.

His avatar was still on Earth, in the icy mountains of East Siberia.

The avatar represented Yang Tian’s most rational side. At the outset of his journey through the spatial passage, it had chosen to remain on Earth, perfecting Yuan Xiang’s magic, rather than accompanying Yang Tian into the realm of cultivation.
