Chapter 1449 - Chapter 1449 Chapter 1547 Do You Still Recognize Someone

Chapter 1449: Chapter 1547: Do You Still Recognize Someone Named Fang? Chapter 1449: Chapter 1547: Do You Still Recognize Someone Named Fang? “The Heaven King need not ask; we are merely wandering spirits and wild ghosts, unworthy of your and the other nobles’ notice,” the man in the White Crane mask said with a light smile.

“Being wandering spirits, you dare to strut about? Aren’t you afraid of your souls scattering?” the Western Moon King said, his voice carrying a threat.

“Hehe, there’s no need for such words, Heaven King. From the day we donned these masks, we had already disregarded life and death. Today, we have come only to retrieve the ten thousand Pills within the tower. Should the Heaven King obstruct us, we will have no choice but to offend,” the man with the White Crane mask spoke calmly.

“You want the Pills? Then leave your three lives behind,” the Western Moon King said coldly.

The man with the White Crane mask shook his head and brought his two fingers together. Suddenly, a surge of overwhelming Sword Intent arose from within him.

“Heaven King, try and see the might of this sword,” the man with the White Crane mask said, using his fingers as a sword. Instantly, a fierce Sword Qi whistled out, tearing through the sky.

The Western Moon King seemed to not take these three masked figures seriously, but deep down, he was very cautious. After all, he had just clashed with the man with the White Crane mask and had gained no advantage.

At this moment, facing the incoming Sword Qi, the Western Moon King threw a punch, the imprints of his fist as robust as a mountain, and collided thunderously with the Sword Qi.

For a moment, the Sword Qi reverberated everywhere, almost affecting the people below. The Tang Emperor intervened, using his profound cultivation to dissipate the spreading Sword Qi, thus preventing the people on the ground from being affected.

As the Sword Meight dissipated and the fist imprint also suddenly collapsed, each hand of the Western Moon King gathered force, his left holding a round of the bright sun, his right gripping a crescent moon.

The sun and moon vied for brilliance, as if surpassing the real celestial bodies.

“Take this palm!” The Western Moon King thrust both palms, the sun and moon amalgamating into two palm impressions halfway through.

“It’s been many years since I’ve seen this Bright Sun and Moonlight Palm,” the Qin Emperor stood below, watching the shimmering palm imprints with a bit of astonishment.

Facing this peerless skill of the Western Moon King, the man with the White Crane mask also brought out his true capability.

Behind him, a silhouette of a longsword diffused, and within it, myriad Sword Qi gathered.

“This is…” The Three Emperors, Long Jiankong, and several other highly cultivated individuals squinted their eyes, seemingly discerning something from this scene, yet none said much.

The longsword silhouette abruptly moved to meet the incoming Sun and Moon Palm Impressions.

With a booming sound, the scene of a sword severing the sun and moon left everyone present dumbfounded.

The longsword silhouette had chopped through the bright sun and the bright moon, breaking all the power of the Western Moon King’s palm.

However, at the same time, the power of the longsword silhouette was also depleted, and the Sword Qi suddenly dissipated. Once again, the two combatants were at a stalemate.

“Such formidable Sword Tao cultivation, matching the Western Moon King evenly–such strength is surely enough to dominate the Nine Countries.”

“Who exactly is this person? How come we’ve never heard of him before, being so powerful?”

“There are only a few swordsmanship masters in the Nine Countries today, and this person’s sword cultivation is definitely not inferior to those few.”

“I think this person’s sword skills might even surpass those renowned sword masters.”

“That’s right, although those sword masters are formidable, they may not necessarily be able to fight the Western Moon King to a draw.”

“This man is a subordinate under the Sky Swallowing Palace Master,” someone said. “If so, isn’t the Sky Swallowing Palace Master even more terrifying?”

“Where did such a power suddenly come from?”

…

People were discussing animatedly, all shocked by the strength of the Man with the Wolf Head Mask. It was already surprising enough that he was able to stand toe-to-toe with the Western Moon King, but now that the Western Moon King had performed his famed signature move from the past, the Man with the Wolf Head Mask was able to block it, revealing his profound cultivation in Sword Tao. This was truly astonishing.

Out of nowhere, the Nine Countries had given rise to a mysterious swordmaster, and this swordmaster was under the command of the Sky Swallowing Palace Master.

Many people couldn’t help but wonder how many more experts like the Man with the Wolf Head Mask could be in this so-called Sky Swallowing Palace, and just how powerful the Sky Swallowing Palace Master was to command such formidable warriors.

“Indeed, Heaven King possesses profound strength, which I naturally cannot match,” the Man with the Wolf Head Mask said with a smile.

The Western Moon King, his face darkening, felt somewhat embarrassed in front of so many people, including many dignitaries down below. It was truly embarrassing to be unable to handle someone who had come to cause trouble.

Despite no one thinking the Western Moon King was weak, he was a man of immense pride and to him, failing to defeat his opponent several times was extremely shameful.

“It doesn’t matter who you are, since you have come today, you will leave your life behind,” the Western Moon King said as he slapped his Nine Palace Bag at his waist and drew out a longsword.

The longsword looked as thin as a cicada’s wing, seemingly crafted from solid ice, emitting a faint blue light.

“What a splendid Ice Separation Sword. Yet, in the hands of the Western Moon King, it seems to be in decline,” said the Man with the Wolf Head Mask, with a provocative tone.

Hearing this, the Western Moon King was infuriated and swung his sword directly at his opponent.

The Ice Separation Sword shone with a cold light like a dragon, charging straight at the Man with the Wolf Head Mask.

As he retreated, the Man with the Wolf Head Mask glanced at the Man with the Wolf Head Mask, who seemed to understand, and immediately tossed an ancient sword to him.

Catching the ancient sword, the Man with the Wolf Head Mask made a swift, clean cut. Two streaks of sword light collided mid-air, instantly emitting a blinding light that caused pain in the viewers’ eyes below. A terrifying burst of Sword Qi exploded forth.

This time, it was the Qin Emperor who stepped in. He blocked the spreading Sword Qi from reaching the crowd below.

At that moment, the Man with the Wolf Head Mask and the Western Moon King each held a sword, locked in combat, each displaying their own Sword Tao.

Meanwhile, not far from the Pill Appreciation Tower, in the Ancient Pill Court, suddenly a figure descended from the sky, landing directly in the most central hall.

“Who’s there?” many upper echelons of the Pill Alliance were stationed within the grand hall, several of them strong experts, immediately shouted out in alarm, their expressions ghastly.

This was the Ancient Pill Court, the most crucial location of the Pill Alliance, arguably the safest place in the entire Nine Countries.

Even during the most fierce battles between two lands, no expert from the three sect had ever invaded here because the place was perennially guarded by Heaven Kings and Elders.

But today was an exception. The Western Moon King had gone to preside over the Great Pill Conference, and the North Spirit and South Zodiac Heaven Kings were not present at the Ancient Pill Court. Moreover, most high-ranking officials of the Pill Alliance had followed the Western Moon King to the conference, making the defense of the Ancient Pill Court the weakest it had ever been.

As the smoke cleared, a figure slowly walked out, facing the Pill Alliance experts who stayed behind.

“Gentlemen, do you still recognize this individual?”
