Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Desperate to Cry but No Tears

"Bastard, what did you do to me just now?" Yang Huai struggled to recall the recent events, as if it were all just a dream.

He distinctly remembered holding the great beauty Qin Ke’er, only to be hit by her later. He was also curious, considering Qin Ke’er is only a Middle Stage Great Sword Master, how could she have been so powerful? Easily sending him flying.

"I didn’t do anything!" Chu Feng spread his arms, shrugging his shoulders.

Feeling the disdainful looks from the people around, Yang Huai vaguely felt something was amiss.

Upon closer inspection, the charming and alluring Qin Ke’er was still standing gracefully behind Chu Feng, clearly having not moved from her spot.

"Then who was the person I was holding just now?" Yang Huai exclaimed in shock.

"Who exactly injured this protector?" Yang Huai roared in anger.

"You were holding Prince Jianyun and it was Prince Jianyun who injured you. You’re still pretending to be ignorant, shameless!"

"People as disgusting as you should be thrown into a pig cage. Truly debauching morals to the extreme..."

The crowd’s jeers became a chorus.

After hearing this, Yang Huai suddenly realized. It turns out he was not holding the great beauty, but Prince Jianyun...

All his questions were resolved, no wonder with his powerful cultivation as a Late Stage Great Sword Master, he was easily injured. Prince Jianyun is indeed very powerful.

Thinking that he was holding and biting a man earlier, Yang Huai felt so disgusted that he almost vomited last night’s dinner.

"Protector Yang Huai, I really feel sorry for you! A respected protector getting fooled by a garbage entry-level disciple, even kneeling down for him!" Shangguan Bei maliciously fueled the fire from the side, provoking Yang Huai’s anger. "If I were you, I would have just slapped this vermin, Chu Feng, to death to regain my dignity!"

Furious to the extreme, Yang Huai’s face became terrifyingly fierce upon hearing Shangguan Bei’s instigation.

The muscles on his face twitched violently.

"Chu Feng, you bastard, daring to use evil techniques against me. You are seeking death!"

As soon as the word ’death’ fell, Yang Huai acted immediately.

Ignoring the sect rules and laws, even if it meant punishment, he had to slap this vermin, Chu Feng, to death.

To vent the hatred in his heart.

"Hehe, Shangguan Bei, you want him to kill me? Then let’s give you a nice surprise!" Chu Feng sneered coldly and pointed at Shangguan Bei. "Protector Yang Huai, kill him for me!"

The bizarre incident happened again, Yang Huai’s body trembled violently and then really obeyed Chu Feng’s command, turning around to attack Shangguan Bei.

The spectators all widened their eyes in disbelief, mouths agape, watching this strange scene.

Yang Huai made his move extremely ruthlessly, striking with a powerful technique.

"Moonlight Slash!"

Boom!

A terribly powerful sword light slashed towards Shangguan Bei.

The sword light was a light blue color, resembling a crescent moon, trailing a long tail.

Shangguan Bei, just an Advanced Level Disciple and an Early Stage Great Sword Master, turned pale with fear facing a full-powered strike from a Late Stage Great Sword Master.

"Protector Yang Huai, it’s me, stop!" Shangguan Bei yelled while drawing his sword to defend.

"I’m killing you, you bastard!" Yang Huai, as if mad, not only didn’t stop, but became even more ruthless.

Boom!

The sword lights collided, with Shangguan Bei clearly no match. He was severely wounded, showing a deep, bone-exposing cut, and fell to the ground.

He tried to escape frantically, crawling backward and yelling, "Help, help!" At this moment, no one was willing to help him. The onlookers, being mostly ordinary disciples, each looked after themselves, scared away to a distance.

Fearing getting hit and caught in the crossfire!

"Die!"

Yang Huai struck Shangguan Bei to the ground with his sword, yet his anger was not appeased. Because he was under the illusion of the Evil Spirit King, thinking he had killed Chu Feng.

The thought of kneeling down to Chu Feng and kissing Prince Jianyun filled him with boundless hatred.

Boom!

Another sword strike aimed at Shangguan Bei, swearing to kill him on the spot.

"Stop!"

An old stern voice resounded, and the figure of an Elder appeared. It was none other than Shangguan Bei’s master, Elder Yang.

The whole Sect believed Shangguan Bei was the True Dragon of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, thinking that he had received the transmission of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill.

This, coupled with the Sect Master’s Sword Order, had the Elders protect Shangguan Bei to prevent his premature death.

Therefore, Elder Yang and the others guarded Shangguan Bei very closely.

On Shangguan Bei’s body, he wore the Mother-Child Heart Sword given by Elder Yang.

This sword was very small, only two inches in length, resembling a decorative item. It could be hung around the neck and worn close to the body. If any danger occurred, Elder Yang could immediately sense it through the mother sword.

Because crafting such Mother-Child Heart Swords was extremely difficult, requiring a lot of precious materials.

Plus, Elder’s time was precious, often needing devoted cultivation and seclusion, and they neither could nor wished to be disturbed. Therefore, Mother-Child Heart Swords were rarely used.

If it were not for Shangguan Bei being too much of a ’genius’, seen as the hope for the rise of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, Elder Yang wouldn’t have bestowed the heart sword and guarded him all the time.

Hearing Elder Yang’s stern shout, Yang Huai not only did not stop, but instead mobilized even more Sword Qi, reinforcing the sword light.

"My life is over! Master save me!"

Shangguan Bei had no power to resist; the Sword Technique he comprehended in the Sword Testing Forest was decent, but far inferior to the Supreme Sword Skill like the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill.

Therefore, he absolutely couldn’t withstand Yang Huai’s lethal moves.

Bang!

With a loud noise, Shangguan Bei was unharmed, while Yang Huai, the protector, vomited blood and was thrown flying away. His sword also fell to the ground, and he couldn’t get up for a long time.

"Yang Huai, how dare you strike so viciously against a fellow sect member, your punishment should be the abolition of your cultivation and expulsion from the Sect!" Elder Yang shouted furiously.

If he had come a second later, Shangguan Bei, the genius disciple, would have been killed.

By then, he would not only have failed to explain to the Sect Master but also would have lost the opportunity to advance to Great Elder.

Just like there being a Chief disciple among the True Disciples, known as Big Senior Brother, similarly among the Elders, there is one with the most powerful voice and the most respected status, called the First Elder.

Referred to as the Great Elder, more prestigious than the other Elders.

Since the Great Elder of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect died in battle a hundred years ago, this position has been vacant. According to the tradition of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, it is usually the Sect Master’s master who advances to Great Elder.

For example, if one day Shangguan Bei becomes the Sect Master, then Elder Yang would automatically be promoted to Great Elder.

...

Yang Huai indeed wanted to cry but had no tears; initially hoping to kill Chu Feng but instead caused such a disaster.

Today really is cursed; always seeing illusions. Not mistaking Prince Jianyun for a beauty but Shangguan Bei for Chu Feng.

Although Yang Huai was a protector, breaking the Sect rules was damning, and being caught red-handed by Elder Yang,

He already lost the pride of a protector, both hating and fearing Chu Feng.
