Chapter 275 – Discussing the Dao at Wuji Three Elders Peak (Five)

Qing Ge gnashed his teeth and spat out: “Lord of Thousand Faces, the Blood Butcher!”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang’s eyes also sharpened.

Because he had long learned the general structure of the Demon Sect from enemy sources: the Four Celestial Sovereigns, the Eight Wilds Heavenly Kings, and the Hundred Divisions… all the way down to the myriad demons paying homage, with Disciples too numerous to count.

And this Lord of Thousand Faces was one of the Hundred Divisions, named Wei Boran!

He had originally thought this was just a tall tale, never expecting the Lord of Thousand Faces would actually appear.

And only at this moment did Ye Kuang realize how many secrets this world seemed to conceal.

Wei Boran: “You two can attack together. Let no one say I, your lord, bully the weak.”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang was the first to step forward, speaking clearly and fluently: “Is it true or not? Are you really as powerful as they say?”

As he spoke, the corner of his mouth suddenly curved into a slight smile: “I have my doubts.”

Boom!

But who could have expected, a thunderous explosion suddenly erupted from Ye Kuang’s chest, followed by him being sent flying like an arrow from a bow, crashing hard into the tree canopy.

At this moment, the Lord of Thousand Faces spoke in a female voice: “Oh my, so sorry~ This humble one’s hand just slipped.”

As soon as the words fell, the Lord of Thousand Faces couldn’t help but wave his hand repeatedly, then spoke in a male voice: “However, your physical body…”

On the other side.

Qing Ge spoke without even turning his head: “If you’re not dead, make a sound.”

“Damn, that was intense!” As he spoke, Ye Kuang inevitably rubbed his chest, spitting out a stream of blood, then stared at Qing Ge with some confusion, muttering to himself: “Seems I underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to realize I’m still alive.”

Hearing this, the Lord of Thousand Faces’ movements froze mid-air, clearly still somewhat incredulous.

Qing Ge: “Join forces?”

Ye Kuang: “A solution when there’s no other way.”

Attack!

Faster than words can tell!

In an instant, Ye Kuang leveraged his advantage, charging forward first with speed like lightning, so fast it was nearly invisible to the naked eye.

Close behind him followed another flash of movement.

This gold and white intertwined, instantly becoming two furious thunderbolts sweeping in horizontally.

Seeing this, the Lord of Thousand Faces narrowed his eyes slightly, then suddenly leaped into the air, revealing the large tree canopy behind him.

Rip!

As the tearing sound echoed, two beams of light shot upward against the sky, causing that tree canopy to instantly shatter into scattered shrubbery fragments.

Ye Kuang: “I’ll go first!”

Qing Ge: “Be careful.”

Simultaneously, the Lord of Thousand Faces’ visage transformed, becoming that of a fierce and malevolent deity.

The Lord of Thousand Faces raised both arms high, then brought them straight down, two glints of light silently shooting from within his loose sleeves.

Ye Kuang only saw a cold gleam flash before his eyes, his pupils instantly contracting, then without thinking twisted his body to avoid the sharp attack.

Even so, he still felt a chill spread across his chest, accompanied by a swift retraction of a bloody light.

Only then did he realize what weapon those beams of light actually were.

It was the Sleeve Hidden Sword!

Lord of Thousand Faces: “Not bad, not bad. I didn’t expect you to survive even that.”

As he spoke, the Lord of Thousand Faces lightly tapped a tree branch with his toe, then said in a shrill, thin voice: “But don’t even blink, or Life-Death may be decided in an instant.”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang suddenly broke into a sprint, his chest filled with wild fire with nowhere to vent.In truth, perhaps even he himself didn’t know why things had come to this. He only felt that despite possessing the strongest will, he repeatedly met with setbacks, until that inexplicable sensation invaded his heart, suddenly igniting his fighting spirit.

“Finished spouting nonsense? Then come and meet your death,” Ye Kuang said.

Little did he know, Qing Ge moved even faster, flashing past him in the blink of an eye, charging straight toward Lord of Thousand Faces.

“Heh, seeking death,” Wei Boran sneered.

Buzz buzz buzz!

In an instant, both swords were unleashed, their deafening hums impossible to ignore.

But what was shocking was that Qing Ge completely disregarded his own safety, actually using his bare hands to grab at the blades.

Seeing this, even Ye Kuang couldn’t help but be astonished.

While he was still wondering if Qing Ge had gone mad, he realized for the first time that he could admire another’s courage.

Qing Ge’s palms were completely pierced through, yet he didn’t even furrow his brows.

Then, with his hands clasped together, the two swords narrowly missed his face and waist as they swept past.

Witnessing this, Lord of Thousand Faces couldn’t help but scoff, “I wondered what you were rushing for—turns out you’re in a hurry to die.”

As he spoke, Lord of Thousand Faces delivered a fierce kick to Qing Ge’s chest.

Bang!

The explosive sound alone was enough to convey its immense force.

Yet even so, Qing Ge didn’t let go, instead tightening his grip.

And for this fleeting opening, how could Ye Kuang miss the opportunity?

His fierce leg strength kicked off the ground, carrying the roaring force of wind and thunder, clearly intending to kill.

“Damn it…” Before Lord of Thousand Faces could finish, he had no choice but to retreat from the approaching threat.

After all, if Lord of Thousand Faces had tried to keep hold of his swords, the outcome would have been predictable.

Ye Kuang’s kick landed on empty air, but he paid no mind to his retreating opponent. Instead, he swiftly pressed his fingers against Qing Ge’s shoulders, forcing the sword blades out.

Whine!

A sharp sound suddenly assaulted their ears, and the scene before them was truly imposing.

With the sword in hand, Ye Kuang seemed to transform into a true sword cultivator.

He couldn’t help but lightly flick the blade with a single finger, a faint whisper of wind accompanying the motion, making his entire being seem unified. His spirit and energy underwent an instantaneous, dramatic change.

“A three-foot blade, thin as a cicada’s wing, flexible yet unyielding—truly an unparalleled weapon for concealed lethality. A fine sword.”

“Return my sword!”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang handed the other sword to Qing Ge. Then, gripping the soft sword, he advanced step by step.

Little did he know, his spiritual energy now radiated the sharpness it was meant to possess.

The eighteen weapon forms seemed like guardians awaiting their general, ready to unleash their peerless brilliance in a single, dazzling display.

“This sword belongs to me from now on!” Ye Kuang declared.

With that, he surged forward, thrusting the sword in a swift, urgent strike.

But to everyone’s shock, Lord of Thousand Faces merely pinched the air with flower-like fingers, catching the blade between them. He couldn’t contain his sneer as he coldly remarked, “One look at you and I can tell you’re a novice with the sword. Heh, you’re practically begging me to laugh my teeth out. Someone like you… you’re not even worthy!”

Just then, a sinister curve tugged at the corner of Ye Kuang’s lips.

Whine!

In that instant, the sword in his hand suddenly twisted, moving silently as it abruptly sent sprays of blood flying.

Two of Lord of Thousand Faces’ fingers fell to the ground with a thud, forcing him to retreat violently.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t resist taunting, “Monster, don’t you dare blink, or the outcome between us will be decided in an instant…”Lord of Thousand Faces: “How audacious…”

But before his words could fully leave his lips, his expression abruptly shifted.

At that moment, Qing Ge had somehow appeared soundlessly behind Lord of Thousand Faces, also thrusting out with a sudden sword strike.
