Chapter 435 Six Battles with Blood Blade, Swords Have No Eyes
When faced with Chu Lengyu's questions, the lady in the purple dress only gave superficial answers.
She spoke only of well-known information, and was extremely cautious when it came to truly useful and valuable intelligence.
Chu Lengyu was not discouraged.
While reading, she recalled the performance of Wei Yu and others and came up with a new perspective.
In the realm of the Dark Sea, aristocratic families and sects tolerate each other, yet also oppose each other.
Are the disciples of the Hundred Swords Pavilion so harmonious and united because they are all kind and innocent? No, human nature is complex and multifaceted, and kindness is only part of the reason.
The more fundamental reason is that most of their resources come from the sect, and they are gathered together because of the sect, so they have a natural common interest.
However, the Yang family and the Wei family, these families specializing in cultivating immortality, are completely different from sects such as the Hundred Swords Pavilion.
Their resources mostly come from family inheritance and generational accumulation. Coupled with the bond of blood ties, they pay more attention to the rise and fall and glory of their family.
This is why their sense of belonging to the sect is naturally not as strong as that of ordinary disciples who receive resources and protection from the sect.
Family background gave people like Wei Yu the confidence to act recklessly and domineeringly. Relying on their family's background and strength, they committed all sorts of evil deeds in the cultivation world.
With these thoughts in mind, Chu Lengyu couldn't help but think of the Myriad Star Alliance.
Where does this powerful cross-border business association with its many experts come from? Who benefits from it? And between sects and aristocratic families, which side will it choose to support?
There's a saying on Earth that goes something like this: There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests.
Realizing this, Chu Lengyu blinked, already having a plan in mind.
Thinking about these things made her feel exceptionally relaxed.
She gently patted the book on formations in her hand, then turned to the lady in the purple dress and smiled slightly, saying, "I'll choose this one. Thank you for showing me the way, young lady. This place has truly broadened my horizons."
The lady in the purple dress removed the seal from the book and respectfully returned it, saying, "I'm glad our esteemed guest is satisfied."
Chu Lengyu put it into her storage ring, then left the vermilion building and returned to the edge of the arena.
However, when her gaze swept over the members of the Hundred Swords Pavilion, she saw that they all looked furious, as if they had encountered something extremely unfair.
She asked in surprise, "What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Zhao said with a mixture of anger and worry, "The next challenger is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage!"
This is clearly bullying! A Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator dares to challenge an early Foundation Establishment cultivator. How shameless!
Such blatant bullying of the weak is quite rare.
However, all of this was in accordance with the law and regulations, and Hundred Swords Pavilion could not object to it and could only accept it.
Senior Sister Zhao grabbed Chu Lengyu's hand and whispered, "Things are hopeless, Junior Sister, you might as well admit defeat. As long as you're alive, you can always fight again. This person's cultivation is far superior to yours, and if he tries to kill you on the stage, that would be terrible."
As she spoke, a hint of worry flashed in Senior Sister Zhao's eyes, clearly indicating that she was genuinely concerned that the other party might harm Chu Lengyu.
She also speculated that this person might have been sent by the Wei family, with the aim of regaining face and making the Hundred Swords Pavilion lose face.
Upon hearing this, Chu Lengyu gently shook her head.
She turned her head and saw a bald, burly man carrying a large sword standing not far away.
He stared intently at her, his eyes flashing with malice, and he bared his teeth, making a throat-slitting gesture with his hand, his words dripping with threat.
The burly man was imposing, with bulging muscles, and the large sword on his back exuded a chilling aura; one look was enough to tell he was no pushover.
However, Chu Lengyu did not show the slightest fear.
Upon learning that the next challenger was a rogue cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, a huge uproar immediately erupted among the crowd.
Many onlookers speculated that Chu Lengyu would know when to quit while she was ahead and abandon this hopeless battle in time.
"Five wins is her limit; she can't win any more."
"Yes, the real powerhouses have yet to appear. There are still so many experts at the late Foundation Establishment stage and the peak Foundation Establishment stage. It's already quite impressive that she, a little girl at the early Foundation Establishment stage, has come this far."
However, just when everyone thought Chu Lengyu would stop there, she made a decision that surprised everyone—to continue defending her title and prepare for the sixth battle!
People whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with surprise, curiosity, and a hint of anticipation.
"These female disciples of the Hundred Swords Pavilion do have some courage."
"Hmph, courage is one thing, but strength is the most important. I think she's in big trouble this time."
……
"...Do you understand the above rules?" After announcing the rules, the referee's gaze swept over the two cultivators who were about to fight.
The bald, burly man who had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment had a cold smile on his lips and waved his hand dismissively: "I know, let's begin."
"Please!" Chu Lengyu uttered a concise yet powerful word.
Her voice, though soft, seemed to contain immense power, moving everyone present.
A gentle breeze blew by, lifting a few strands of hair from her forehead, and sunlight shone on her face, reflecting a serene expression.
The referee nodded slightly, a serious look flashing in his insightful eyes.
He was already prepared; if the other party deliberately tried to kill him, he would definitely intervene to stop them and at least save Chu Lengyu's life.
Immediately, he swayed and retreated to the edge of the arena, announcing loudly, "The match begins!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the bald, burly man drew his greatsword from his back.
The sword was incredibly thick, with blazing flames flowing around it, radiating an oppressive heat that distorted the surrounding air.
He flashed forward like a tiger descending a mountain, raising his knife and charging straight at Chu Lengyu.
Seeing this, Chu Lengyu remained calm, raised her long sword, and with a flash of light, effortlessly blocked the opponent's fierce attack.
However, the burly man with the sword on his back was a cut above the rest, and his moves were more fierce and domineering.
A barrage of attacks rained down, forcing Chu Lengyu to retreat repeatedly, putting her in grave danger.
Her figure darted left and right on the arena, narrowly dodging the heavy sword's slashes each time.
Below the stage, the fellow disciples of the Hundred Swords Pavilion clenched their fists, their eyes flashing with anger and deep worry.
They watched Chu Lengyu face perilous situations on the arena, their hearts filled with anxiety.
"Damn it, this guy went way too far!"
"He's clearly trying to kill my junior sister! It's despicable and shameless, utterly outrageous!"
"Keep a close eye on him, and stop him immediately if he breaks the rules! We can't let our junior sister get hurt!"
However, in another corner of the audience, someone was loudly cheering and applauding.
They watched the intense duel on the ring, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
In their view, the one who would stand to the end on this arena must be a cultivator who has reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. After all, the bald, burly man had an absolute advantage in both cultivation level and combat experience, and there was no reason for him to lose.
"Hahaha, well done! Truly awe-inspiring! This Foundation Establishment cultivator is indeed extraordinary, his strength is astonishing!"
"This little girl in the early Foundation Establishment stage actually refuses to admit defeat beforehand; she's truly overestimating herself. Does she think she can create a miracle? It's utterly laughable!"
"Go! Teach her a lesson and show her what it means to be arrogant!"
Upon hearing this, a cruel smile flashed in the big man's eyes.
He deliberately slowed his attack and said mockingly, "Well, little girl, admit defeat, lest you get hurt by the indiscriminate swords."
Chu Lengyu merely raised her eyes slightly, giving him a cold glance without the slightest fear in her gaze. Her lips were tightly pressed together, as if she were gathering strength, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
