After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

On the other side, as the night enveloped the surroundings, Su Shan and several righteous prodigies gathered outside a collapsed ice cave, all with somber expressions on their faces.

It was one thing for Jiang Chen to bully them, but they never expected that the enchantress Nangong Jiuxi from the Myriad Dao Demon Sect would take advantage of their injuries and pursue them relentlessly.

Not only did she slay several righteous prodigies, but she even severed Su Shan’s arm!

“Damn it!”

The one-armed Su Shan roared furiously into the sky, his rage nearly splitting him apart!

With his cultivation level, he should not have ended up in such a miserable state even if he was injured, but that demonic path cultivator has no shame.

In the midst of his fierce battle with Nangong Jiuxi, she suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted, “Jiang Chen is coming!”

That single sentence scared Su Shan into a panic.

In that moment of distraction, Nangong Jiuxi swung her sword and chopped off his arm.

Every time he thought of this, Su Shan was infuriated beyond measure.

He, the number one swordsman of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion, the second on the surface of the Heaven’s Pride Ranking but actually the first, had entered the Mysterious Ice Realm only to end up in such a sorry state!

To prevent Nangong Jiuxi from making a comeback, Su Shan had specially summoned his fellow disciples.

The prodigies now surrounding him were all from the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion!

Apart from Sword Six (sixth sword disciple), there were Sword Two, Sword Three, and the others, totaling six, known collectively as the Six Swordsmen of the Seven Luminaries, all of whom were renowned on the Heaven’s Pride Ranking.

Sword Two was a tall man, a few years older than Su Shan.

Seeing Sword Six’s annoyed and exasperated expression, Sword Two said, “Eldest Senior Brother, Jiang Chen and that demoness are arrogant because the Six Swordsmen of the Seven Luminaries are not yet united! We must avenge this insult!”

“Indeed, if we do not avenge this, how can we face the Sword Pavilion? How can we deserve to be on the Heaven’s Pride Ranking?” Sword Three echoed.

The other swordsmen were also filled with righteous indignation, expressing their desire to make Nangong Jiuxi suffer the pain of a thousand swords piercing her heart.

But Su Shan shook his head and said, “Nangong Jiuxi is not a concern. Once my injuries heal, I can kill her alone. The key issue is that Jiang Chen, he’s simply…”

“Unbelievably strong!” Sword Six finished the sentence.

Unbelievably strong?

The other swordsmen were skeptical.

How could someone not even on the Heaven’s Pride Ranking be so powerful?

He’s not the Human Sacred Body Lu Lin!

Although Su Shan and the others had received a message from the Sword Pavilion’s Old Ancestor, speculating that Lu Lin, the top name on the Heaven’s Pride Ranking, might be fake, they still did not dare to completely dismiss the possibility out of caution.

“You know nothing of Jiang Chen’s true strength,” Su Shan shook his head again, then turned to Sword Six.

Sword Six suddenly realized and began to inform everyone of the combat power Jiang Chen had displayed.

Upon hearing that Jiang Chen used a superior-grade spiritual weapon and had learned superior-grade techniques, Sword Two exclaimed in shock, “Is he really that great?!”

When they learned that Jiang Chen also mastered the ancient Way of the Sword, Sword Three turned pale and said, “This… this is a natural-born Sword Emperor!”

And upon hearing that Jiang Chen also possessed a heavenly fire like the Phoenix Fire, there was a brief silence before everyone gasped in astonishment.

Indeed, he was unbelievably strong!

With such age, cultivation, talent, and combat power, not to mention the Central Domain, he would be extremely rare even in the Upper Domain!

“Could it be that Jiang Chen is the real Human Sacred Body?” Sword Two suddenly speculated in shock.

Su Shan initially wanted to deny it.

After all, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor had said that the Human Sacred Body would not appear at this time.

But on second thought, it was indeed possible!

The Human Sacred Body was so powerful and rare throughout the ages because it could embody all techniques.

In such a state, there would be no restrictions or bottlenecks for any technique, secret manual, or spiritual weapon for the Human Sacred Body.

This was consistent with Jiang Chen being able to learn superior-grade secret manuals and master superior-grade spiritual weapons despite only being at the Core Formation stage.

“I’ve heard that when Jiang Chen caused a commotion outside Cold Realm City, he used both Buddhist and ghost techniques. There are very few physiques that can combine two types of techniques, and the Human Sacred Body is one of them.” Sword Two analyzed calmly.

“Another characteristic of the Human Sacred Body is that it can self-learn all techniques and secret manuals without a teacher. If that’s true, it makes sense that Jiang Chen knows the ancient Way of the Sword,” Sword Three added.

“Indeed, Jiang Chen has publicly claimed to be the Human Sacred Body, Lu Lin…” Sword Six recalled.

This statement made Su Shan fall into deep thought.

Soon, his eyes lit up.

“Have you heard about the reason Jiuyan Demonic Sect waged war against Billowing Clouds Sect? It was to find the Human Sacred Body, Lu Lin,” Su Shan asked.

The swordsmen all nodded in unison.

Although the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion had only recently emerged, they had been paying close attention to the movements of the major forces in the Central Domain.

Therefore, they all remembered clearly. It was indeed for that reason, and coincidentally, Jiang Chen had indeed appeared near the Billowing Clouds Sect at that time.

“Eldest Senior Brother means…” Sword Six seemed to realize something.

“That’s right!”

Su Shan had an epiphany and said, “I’m certain that Jiang Chen must be the Human Sacred Body! He just likes to go by the alias ‘Lu Lin’!”

“So the name Lu Lin is just a smokescreen? The true identity of the Human Sacred Body is actually Jiang Chen?” Sword Two also came to a realization.

“Exactly! It must be so!” Su Shan was convinced.

“I suspect that the Jiuyan Sect also knows that the Human Sacred Body needs time to grow! That’s why they let Jiang Chen use the name Lu Lin!”

At that moment, everything clicked into place! The swordsmen had an epiphany!

They had not expected the Jiuyan Sect to be so cunning!

Despite Jiang Chen being the Human Sacred Body, they still threw out the smokescreen of “Lu Lin”!

This move must have been to secure the only spot to the Upper Domain in the Grand Sect Competition!

How sinister! Besides being sinister, it was also infuriating!

After all, no one had thought that the Human Sacred Body would truly appear in the world, and the person with such a physique would be the notorious and infamous Jiang Chen!

How unfair the heavens were!!

“This matter is of great importance. We must report it to the Sword Pavilion as soon as possible! We should leave this secret realm quickly!” Su Shan said.

“Indeed, with this news, even if we fail in this secret realm, the Sword Pavilion won’t blame us,” Sword Six said with a smile.

However, Sword Two had a different idea and lowered his voice, his eyes shining brightly, “Eldest Senior Brother, the emergence of a Human Sacred Body in the demonic path is like adding frost to snow for the righteous path!”

“Don’t you want to slay this Human Sacred Body in the secret realm, become famous throughout the world, and become the true top of the Heaven’s Pride Ranking?” he asked further.

Want?

Of course, Su Shan wanted to!

If he could achieve this, it would not only be a great service to the righteous path, but it would also mean one less rival in the Grand Sect Competition.

But was it possible?

Considering the strength Jiang Chen had shown, even if they all attacked together, they would be the ones getting thrashed!

After seeing through Su Shan’s thoughts, Sword Two narrowed his eyes and uttered four words:

“Seven Luminaries Sword Formation!”

Su Shan’s pupils shrank instantly.

The Seven Luminaries Sword Formation required six swordsmen to set up, and once formed, it could even slay enemies in the upper four realms.

The formation was mainly for offensive and killing purposes, and if it caught the enemy by surprise, it could indeed slay Jiang Chen!

But the problem was setting up the Seven Luminaries Sword Formation required the ancient swords of the six swordsmen, and Su Shan’s ancient sword had already self-destructed when facing Jiang Chen’s ancient Way of the Sword…

“Senior Brother can act as the eye of the formation, and we can build the formation with the ancient swords from the outside. This way, the formation can still be completed!” Sword Two reminded him.

Su Shan fell silent.

He naturally knew this, but he just thought there was no need to go to such lengths with Jiang Chen since there was no life-and-death enmity.

“Since ancient times, righteousness and evil have never coexisted! There is already a life-and-death enmity!”

Sword Two scoffed, “To deal with the demonic path, one must be unscrupulous! We can set up the formation at the exit of the secret realm in advance and then lure Jiang Chen into it! We can surely kill him with one strike!”

“Eldest Senior Brother, don’t hesitate! If Jiang Chen doesn’t die, the righteous path will not be at peace!”

“By killing Jiang Chen, we can also slay Nangong Jiuxi! This way, we can also avenge Senior Brother’s lost arm!”

“Ever since we entered the secret realm, we have been constantly abused by Jiang Chen! Now that we have the chance for revenge, what is Eldest Senior Brother hesitating for?”

“Eldest Senior Brother! This opportunity cannot be missed!”

Sword Six and the other swordsmen also desperately urged him.

“Alright…”

In the end, Su Shan agreed.
