Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 264: The Fall of Wang the Fifth

Chapter 264: Chapter 264: The Fall of Wang the Fifth

Wang the Fifth’s loud shout startled each Martial Artist from the Great Saber Sect, who had been looking stunned, into quickly laying down their great sabers. They knelt before Shi Feng, who stood not far in front of Wang the Fifth, and cried out in unison, "Subordinates pay homage to the Sect Leader!"

Upon seeing the remaining nine Martial Artists had all knelt down, Wang the Fifth turned his head around, his previously authoritative expression immediately switching to one brimming with a servile smile. He lifted his head and greeted Shi Feng with a grin, "Sect Leader."

The sight was akin to a prostitute kneeling before a wealthy client, then looking up and cooingly calling him "Honored Guest."

Seeing this, one would think Wang the Fifth would gladly accept Shi Feng if he wanted him, most likely with the same subservient smile plastered on his face.

"The Sect Leader of the Great Saber Sect? My ass!" The mere thought made Shi Feng’s skin crawl; he was, after all, the Emperor Nine Nether, a Peak Strong Person who looked down upon the Tianheng Continent. If it ever came out that Emperor Nine Nether had once been the Sect Leader of a sect named the Great Saber Sect, he would be laughing stock, and how could he hold his head up high afterward?

Meanwhile, Cui Jian watched the spectacle of the Great Saber Sect with growing tension. He’d assumed Wang the Fifth was as good as dead, but unexpectedly, Wang the Fifth’s despicable act of kowtowing and offering up the leadership of the Great Saber Sect made Cui Jian genuinely fear that the young man might not resist the temptation.

The Great Saber Sect’s influence was far greater than his Freedom Sect’s, and Cui Jian felt if Wang the Fifth were to bestow that influence on him, he himself would surely succumb to the temptation, especially knowing the many lovely and gentle beauties Wang the Fifth had seized for himself in the Great Saber Sect...

Thinking this, Cui Jian’s face quickly took on a look of determination and justice. Enduring the intense pain from his injuries, he shouted out to Shi Feng, "Brother, Wang the Fifth is a man of countless atrocities, guilty of rape and plunder, someone who did not even spare an eighty-year-old granny or a three-year-old girl. Brother, quickly draw your sword of justice and rid the world of this scoundrel!"

"Cui Jian, you spout nothing but slander! Since when did I, Wang the Fifth, stoop to not sparing even an eighty-year-old granny or a three-year-old girl!" Hearing Cui Jian’s outburst, Wang the Fifth instantly swiveled his head to roar back at him.

"Brother, you must vanquish the evil from this world!" Cui Jian ignored Wang the Fifth, his face, smeared with fresh blood, growing even more determined and upright. With his resolute and upright expression accentuated by the blood, Cui Jian looked like a warrior full of righteousness.

Regardless of what kind of person Wang the Fifth was, Shi Feng had absolutely no interest. His right middle finger was already pressed by his thumb. After Wang the Fifth had finished angrily shouting at Cui Jian and turned his head back, revealing again his servile expression towards Shi Feng, he saw Shi Feng’s right hand already bent in preparation. Horrified, Wang the Fifth’s eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out, and then Shi Feng’s middle finger lifted towards Wang the Fifth’s face.

Shi Feng’s principle remained the same: anyone who harbored ill intentions towards him must die!

"Ah! No!" Wang the Fifth’s face twisted in terror as he screamed. He did not want to die, truly he did not; he was Wang the Fifth, the Sect Leader of the Great Saber Sect, Great Saber Sect Wang the Fifth, a man of some standing. In the Great Saber Sect, there were so many tender and attractive ladies waiting for him to return and indulge in a thoroughly hearty and unrestrained battle.

"No!" Wang the Fifth howled unwillingly, trying to use his raised body to block the burst of pale-white radiance, but the silver light was much faster than Wang the Fifth could manage. As his hands just began to move, the burst of pale-white radiance shot straight toward Wang the Fifth’s forehead, leaving a tiny hole from which fresh red blood slowly flowed.

Immediately after, Wang the Fifth, with a face twisted from shock and an expression of disbelief, along with the corpse he had lifted above his head, both toppled to the ground. The Great Saber Sect Leader, an Eight-star Martial Emperor Realm Expert, Great Saber Sect Wang the Fifth, had fallen!

Following that, Shi Feng’s right hand flickered repeatedly as he launched clusters of pale-white radiance. In an instant, the forests were filled with a series of shrill screams. The remaining nine warriors of the Great Saber Sect were struck by the light and dropped dead in the blink of an eye.

"Brother, that was impressive!" Cui Jian finally exhaled in relief upon seeing the members of the Great Saber Sect eradicated. He then took a Healing Pill from his Storage Ring and swallowed it, before turning his attention to the Goddess beside him. At that moment, Princess Zi Yun still bore her valiant and heroic appearance, her beautiful face regaining its proud and aloof expression.

Taking advantage of the moment, Cui Jian whispered to the Goddess in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Commandery Princess, this is my sworn brother. We have an alliance forged by life-and-death. Seeing the Commandery Princess in trouble, I immediately sent out a signal for him to come and rescue you at the first opportunity, and it seems he has indeed not disappointed me."

"Mhmm!" Princess Zi Yun nodded indifferently toward Cui Jian, placed her purple sword into her Storage Ring, and then stopped paying him any attention as she strode toward Shi Feng.

Seeing Princess Zi Yun approaching, Shi Feng turned his gaze to this beautiful and aloof woman, and upon opening her crimson cherry lips, she said to Shi Feng, "Thank you."

"No need," Shi Feng replied indifferently. He didn’t know this woman, and her life or death was of no concern to him. He had had no intention of saving her; it was just that Wang the Fifth and his group had harbored ill intentions toward him, and he had dealt with them conveniently.

After giving thanks, Princess Zi Yun turned and walked toward the forests ahead.

After dispatching Wang the Fifth and his group, Shi Feng no longer wished to linger and followed in the direction Princess Zi Yun had taken. He wasn’t stalking the woman, but rather, their destinations were the same—they were both headed toward the Blood-colored Stone Stele at the peak to uncover its secrets.

"Brother!" At that moment, Cui Jian, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, began to heal his wounds. Shi Feng had only walked a few steps when Cui Jian called out to him.

Hearing Cui Jian’s call, Shi Feng stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at him, asking, "What’s the matter?"

"Brother, now that I am injured like this, can you stay here to protect me until I have recovered before we leave? Otherwise, if I encounter another villain like Wang the Fifth here, it would be very dangerous for me," Cui Jian pleaded with Shi Feng. Although his injuries were severe, thanks to the occasional consumption of a Fourth Grade Healing Pill he had acquired, his life was not in danger. However, he had lost his battle power, and if he encountered another Martial Artist in these woods, he could easily be dispatched.
