Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 Doubting God and Ghosts

It was still the Crescent Moon Swordsmanship.

These four disciples were sent out to guard the mountain gate and weren't even considered Inner Sect Disciples, how strong could they be?

They were only in the Energy-Introducing Realm, so of course they couldn't stop Jiang Cheng.

A flash of the sword shadow passed, and blood spurted from the four men's necks as they fell.

Clean and efficient.

"Alright, let's move on. Lead the way ahead!"

"Sure thing!"

Elder Liang didn't find it surprising anymore.

He even felt that killing their way in like this was quite bold.

In the future, the stories spreading outside would be 'I and the Sect Leader conquered the Extreme Moon Sect together', 'I fought side by side with the Sect Leader to carve a bloody path', 'I and Jiang Cheng jointly slew dozens of elders from the Extreme Moon Sect'...

The name of Liang Da would be spread throughout the Nine Mountains and Seventeen Caves of Qinglan Prefecture, shining for generations.

Thinking about it, it felt quite wonderful!

At this thought, his body felt much lighter.

"Sect Leader, this way, this path is closer!"

The two men killed their way in without any concealment or hesitation because it was so sudden that the Extreme Moon Sect wasn't prepared at all.

Just a day ago, they had returned triumphantly, who could have expected to be attacked today.

Along the way, there were only some disciples at most in the Gathering Yuan Realm, and Jiang Cheng didn't even need to take action.

Elder Liang was working hard, killing minor warriors to secure a share of the spoils later.

The hundred-zhang Sword Aura seemed like it was on a mow-down-everything rampage, cutting down whoever it met.

Jiang Cheng was happy to have some leisure, watching him perform from behind.

At this moment, the loose cultivators outside were almost in an uproar.

"Crazy, really crazy!"

"Are those two not afraid of death?"

"Whether they are or not, the Extreme Moon Sect is really taking a hit this time, losing quite a few people."

"Things have gotten serious..."

When Qi Gaohong rushed over with a group of elders, Elder Liang's head count had already reached 135.

"Liang Da, how dare you!"

"How dare you slaughter my disciples, even the low-tier Outer Sect Disciples, do you have no sense of decorum as someone in the Soul Splitting Realm?"

"Tear him to pieces!"

Qi Gaohong's eyes were bloodshot, and the other elders were gritting their teeth almost to breaking point.

Though these disciples' cultivation wasn't high, they were the future of the sect.

Over a hundred were killed just like that, anyone would be heartbroken, let alone this was a disgrace within their own home.

Who could endure it?

Liang Da was now full of confidence, completely disregarding them as anything significant.

"Not just these disciples, even you will die!"

He wiped the blood from his sword with an arrogant face.

"It's just a matter of sooner or later."

"Why rush?"

Damn, this Elder Liang was quite adept at pretending too.

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes helplessly.

This unusual confidence surprisingly left Qi Gaohong and others cautious.

For a moment, they didn't dare make any reckless moves.

Therefore, their eyes fell on Jiang Cheng.

"Who are you?"

Liang Da jumped out again.

"With the likes of you, miserable worms, how dare you speak directly to our Sect Leader?"

"It's alright to tell you, our new Sect Leader Jiang Cheng will wipe out your entire sect!"

After saying this, he jumped back and hid behind Jiang Cheng.

This guy, Jiang Cheng really couldn't complain enough.

Oh, you get to show off, and I have to bear the brunt?

What a sly old fox!

"New Sect Leader?"

Qi Gaohong's pupils shrank, his gaze pinned sharply on Jiang Cheng.

"Are you the one who killed my sect's seven elders?"

"Yes, it was me."

Jiang Cheng stepped out boldly.

"I really enjoyed killing those seven elders, if you have any objections, feel free to bring them up, but I definitely won't change."

On the path of showing off, Brother Cheng must lead the trend, how could he let a mere Elder Liang steal the spotlight.

"You!"

Qi Gaohong was livid, his face almost turning white from red.

"Who is backing you, which power do you belong to? I know the Duanmu Family, they don't have anyone like you!"

He could tell at a glance that Jiang Cheng was only in the Soul Splitting Fourth Layer.

Such power shouldn't be capable of such feats.

But even if this person was a lunatic, Liang Da wouldn't just play along.

Over the years they'd had frequent conflicts with the Feixian Sect, he had studied Elder Liang and knew that fleeing for survival was his greatest skill.

For him to suddenly act as a warrior, could it be that Jiang Cheng's power wasn't as simple as his apparent realm?

"No, opposing you is just my personal interest."

Jiang Cheng chuckled: "I'm only in the Soul Splitting Fourth Layer, and you're too afraid to make a move?"

The more he said this, the more cautiously Qi Gaohong became.

There's always a reason for the unusual.

Especially when Elder Liang couldn't help but pop his head out again and shout.

"Sect Leader, stop wasting words with these ants, wipe them out!"

Jiang Cheng was a bit irritated: "Are you teaching me what to do?"

Are you the Sect Leader or am I?

You're overplaying your hand here, trying to snatch the King Bi's throne from me?

"No no..."

Liang Da quickly shrank back.

Cursing inwardly, yet not daring to show it.

At this moment, Qi Gaohong finally made a decision.

He signaled Hall Master Zhao Chuyang of the Sword Hall with a glance.

"Test his strength!"

He suspected Jiang Cheng's strength exceeded the Soul Splitting Fourth Layer, but didn't dare probe himself in case he got instantly defeated.

Zhao Chuyang, as the Hall Master of the Sword Hall, was second only to him in power, having reached the Soul Splitting Eighth Layer.

If he quickly suffered defeat, it would mean Jiang Cheng was actually in the Spirit Platform Realm.

If that were the case, they would have to swallow their pride today and consider fleeing.

Zhao Chuyang glanced at him resentfully, wishing to curse his ancestors for eighteen generations.

What Qi Gaohong could think of, Zhao Chuyang could too.

At this time, who would dare test?

But the Sect Leader's order couldn't be ignored, unless he wanted to defect on the spot.

Ultimately, he could only muster courage and inch his way into the arena.

Amidst sympathetic gazes from other elders, he drew his sword.

"You dare invade my Extreme Moon Sect... just, just think of the cost."

He stammered, even in his speech.

"Are you provoking me?"

Actually, Jiang Cheng at this point didn't care if they were provoking actively, anyway, the system said he could go wild here at the Extreme Moon Sect.

But this simple sentence scared Zhao Chuyang into a cold sweat.

Afraid of stirring Jiang Cheng's murderous intent, he changed his tune.

"No, no, I just want to exchange a couple of moves with Sect Leader Jiang, hopefully just a learning experience..."

Jiang Cheng was dissatisfied, exchanging moves without deciding life and death wouldn't let him die?

"Come on, what's the fun in just exchanging a couple moves, have you forgotten we are mortal enemies?"

With that, he impatiently summoned his Spirit Sword and charged up.

Seeing that sword, Qi Gaohong's face turned even worse.

Wasn't that Elder Yao Qiulin's personal sword?

It ended up in his hands too, no wonder yesterday's and two other elders' Life Tokens shattered as well.

This kid, he's a star of death!

It seems they need to prepare to flee, scrape oil from the feet when the situation turns bad to escape quickly, lest they got pursued.

He was still contemplating afterward when a bloody flash occurred in the field, and a figure collapsed.
