Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Formidable Physique
"Broken Blade Guest! Leave the person behind! Otherwise, I, the Pavilion Master, will make sure you are buried in Celestial Star City!"
A stern and cold-tinged angry shout echoed throughout Celestial Star City.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
As the shout faded, in the sky above Celestial Star City, three elders in the Soul Emergence Stage appeared in a flash, followed by a dozen Nascent Soul Stage experts.
The leading white-robed elder was none other than the City Lord of Celestial Star City, Leng Wusheng, whose cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of Soul Emergence.
The other two elders were Yun Jian, the Pavilion Master of the Wanbao Pavilion, and Luo Qingfeng, the Master of Qingfeng Building, both with Early Stage of Soul Emergence cultivation.
Apart from these experts, the powerful figures of the three major families of Celestial Star City also arrived one after another.
On the street, an elder appeared in a flash. Seeing Hou Qin with an arm severed, his aged face changed drastically, and an overwhelming rage and killing intent erupted.
The cultivators on the street were all so scared their souls nearly left their bodies, and they scrambled away in terror.
The elder was the Patriarch of the Hou Family, Hou Yuanshan.
"Outrageous!" Hou Yuanshan thundered in anger, his voice a snarl: "Who? Who on earth severed my grandson’s arm?"
Hou Qin, enduring severe injuries, angrily replied: "Grandfather, it was a kid. I don’t know what technique he used; my body was immobilized, and I couldn’t activate my spiritual power. Just like that, my hand was severed by him."
"A kid?" Hou Yuanshan roared in anger: "I want to see which brat dares to disregard my Hou Family like this!"
Hou Qin gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I couldn’t discern his cultivation, nor could I sense any spiritual power fluctuations, but he has an Ice Attribute Spiritual Sword, so he should be an Ice Attribute Cultivator!"
"Ice Attribute? Seems he has some background." Hou Yuanshan frowned deeply, his angry old face showing a hint of seriousness.
"Grandfather, that brat is just ahead. I’ve already sent someone to follow him; he can’t escape. We must not let him go!" Hou Qin said viciously, becoming more furious the more he thought about it, wishing he could tear Gu Chenfeng apart with his own hands.
Hou Yuanshan suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "Hou Jian, take some people immediately and keep an eye on that brat. Do not let him leave Celestial Star City."
"Yes, Patriarch!" Hou Jian obediently accepted the order.
"Qin’er, you first heal here, wait until the City Lord handles this, then deal with that brat." Hou Yuanshan said in a deep voice, then reluctantly suppressed his anger as he slowly ascended into the air.
At this moment.
In the sky above Celestial Star City.
Luo Qingfeng, with a sullen old face, angrily said: "Broken Blade Guest, how dare you snatch someone from my Qingfeng Building in broad daylight? Do you not regard me, the Pavilion Master, at all!"
"Ming Yue, you have some nerve! How dare you betray me, the Pavilion Master! Do you know what the consequences are?"
Ming Yue in Broken Blade Guest’s arms remained silent.
"Luo Qingfeng, the things you wanted, I already gave you, but you broke your promise. If not for Ming Yue, your corpse would be cold by now." Broken Blade Guest said with an expressionless face, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent.
"Nonsense!" Luo Qingfeng yelled angrily, seething: "What I, the Pavilion Master, want, I can get anytime from the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association, why would I need you?"
From Luo Qingfeng’s agitated demeanor, it was clear that he was somewhat guilty.
"Shameless old thing!" Broken Blade Guest squinted his eyes, a terrifying killing intent erupting.
The leading Leng Wusheng began to speak slowly: "I, the City Lord, initially did not wish to meddle in your affairs, but since you are kidnapping people in Celestial Star City, I have no choice but to intervene."
Broken Blade Guest, gripping his Broken Saber, pointed at Leng Wusheng and said solemnly: "Old thing, this has nothing to do with you. Do not think I dare not kill you; if you interfere again, I will raze the entire Celestial Star City!"
Beside him, Wanbao Pavilion Master Yun Jian said seriously: "Broken Blade Guest, leave the person. Remembering that you are a man of sentiment, I will not make things difficult for you."
"Enough with the nonsense! Whoever wants to die, just make a move!" Broken Blade Guest coldly shouted, as terrifying Fire Attribute Spiritual Power erupted wildly, surging directly to its peak.
"Attack!" Luo Qingfeng shouted angrily, taking the lead in summoning a Spiritual Weapon Great Saber, sending it shooting out, a sinister killing intent flashing in his deep old eyes.
Luo Qingfeng shouted in anger: "Spiritual Technique! Broken Mountains and Rivers Slash!"
Luo Qingfeng moved with incredible speed, transforming into a green light, and within a blink, viciously and mercilessly slashed down with his saber, the attack power was extremely astonishing.
"Brother Duan, be careful!" Ming Yue exclaimed in extreme panic.
"Ming Yue, come behind me." Broken Blade Guest said with a gentle smile, shielding Ming Yue behind him.
Facing Luo Qingfeng’s attack, Broken Blade Guest’s face showed no change. Luo Qingfeng was only in the Early Stage of Soul Emergence, he simply did not regard him as a threat.
"Bang!"
Luo Qingfeng’s vicious saber strike was met directly with Broken Blade Guest’s left hand, exploding with a loud bang as terrifying energy ripples spread out.
The surrounding experts instinctively raised their hands to shield themselves.
The terrifying force caused the high sky to ripple as if it were a water surface.
Leng Wusheng waved his hand, forcibly dispersing the incoming energy fluctuations, frowning as he said: "I’ve long heard that Broken Blade Guest’s physical body is extremely strong; seeing it today, it’s indeed extraordinary. In a one-on-one, even I might not be his match."
"This guy’s strength is indeed very strong." Yun Jian nodded slightly.
"What? You caught my saber strike with your bare hands? How is this possible?" Luo Qingfeng’s old face was shocked, hardly daring to believe it.
Luo Qingfeng’s strike, even without full power, was still extremely formidable.
Even though Luo Qingfeng’s cultivation was not as high as Broken Blade Guest’s, with the Spiritual Technique’s boost, he couldn’t believe Broken Blade Guest could catch it with just one hand.
He couldn’t even budge Broken Blade Guest the slightest.
What shocked Luo Qingfeng even more was that when Broken Blade Guest caught his strike, he did not use any spiritual power.
It was purely his physical body that withstood it.
Could the difference in strength really be this vast?
"Hiss..."
The onlookers in Celestial Star City collectively gasped in shock.
No one could believe that Broken Blade Guest could so easily catch Luo Qingfeng’s strike.
The strength of Broken Blade Guest was unimaginably formidable.
"Just the physical body could withstand this strike; this guy’s physical body is truly terrifying. His actual strength, perhaps, can fight against the Late Stage of Soul Emergence." Gu Chenfeng marveled inwardly.
Just then.
"Junior Brother, you’re really here!" Zuo Qingyang and the other two arrived.
Gu Chenfeng asked in surprise: "Senior Brother, how did you guys get here as well?"
Bai Tu smiled slightly and said: "We heard at the inn that Broken Blade Guest was kidnapping people in broad daylight, so we hurried over."
Gu Chenfeng curiously asked: "Senior Brother, do you know Broken Blade Guest?"
"We’ve heard a bit." Zuo Qingyang nodded and said: "Thirteen years ago, Broken Blade Guest was severely wounded while being pursued. It was Ming Yue who saved him. Since then, he has not left Celestial Star City, always secretly protecting Ming Yue."
"Anyone who posed a threat or showed disrespect to Ming Yue was slain by him. Over time, this spread, drawing the attention of Qingfeng Building’s Master."
"Afterward, Qingfeng Building’s Master confined Ming Yue, preventing her from leaving Qingfeng Building for ten years. Because the two had long developed feelings for each other, Broken Blade Guest waited in Celestial Star City for ten years, becoming known as a devoted lover there."
