Chapter 1920: Pei Yutian’s Saber

There were many caves at the bottom of the cliff. Negative, evil energy was pervading out of these caves as if the place was connected to the underworld.

In between two strange rocks, outside a cave, many cultivators had gathered, their eyes on Pei Yutian, who was sitting cross-legged, recessing inside the cave opening.

This cave was so unusual that it had always been hidden. It was not only recently that it was exposed.

Looking from the outside, the cave appeared like a snake with its mouth wide open, baring its venomous fangs with extremely heinous looks.

The cave was dark and spooky. There were vague flickers of light and ghostly shadows. No one knew how deep the cave was and where it led to.

Pei Yutian sat cross-legged inside the cave with a rock laid horizontally across his legs. As he exhaled and inhaled, his powerful saint Qi formed an illusory, bubble-like Qi shield to engulf him within.

The strange energy field outside the cave was preventing those elites from storming into the cave.

A gray-robed Taoist suddenly moved across the strange energy field and appeared in front of Pei Yutian.

“I am right in here, Pei Yutian. You had better hand over the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb so I don’t have to do it myself.” The gray-robed Taoist guffawed.

Pei Yutian looked indifferent. He reached to hold his rock saber and casually performed a slash.

The gray-robed Taoist was shocked, his pupils contracted and immediately gathered his powerful saint Qi. But the saint Qi shield broke apart like a thin piece of paper in front of the saber.

The saber slashed him in half at the waist. He dropped dead to the ground, drenched in his own blood.

There were still many people who feared no death.

Just then, another man lunged into the cave and cast out a brand at Pei Yutian.

The brand was bursting with golden light as inscriptions appeared to release the full strength of the Fifth Radiance.

Pei Yutian appeared composed as he thrust the saber into the ground.

Boom!

Thousands of sharp saber Qi bust out of the ground and formed a terrifying saber force field.

Hit by the saber Qi, the brand lost its power and plunged from the air.

Meanwhile, the saber Qi penetrated the elite fighter who cast out the brand and shattered his body. All that was left behind was a pile of shattered bones on the ground.

The gray-robed Taoist and the old monk using the brand had high attainment in their respective self-cultivation. but none of them could withstand Pei Yutian’s saber attack.

Finally, some elite fighters could no longer hold back and made their moves.

Sensing the danger, Pei Yutian looked up and saw variegated tiger claws emerging ten yards away. With all the ghostly images surrounding it, it was hard to tell which was real.

The tiger claws looked menacing and extremely intimidating.

A grave look flashed in Pei Yutian’s eyes. He quickly raised his rock saber to meet the variegated tiger claws.

Bang!

The variegated tiger claws hit the rock saber and a terrifying force traveled up the rock saber.

Pei Yutian bounced to his feet. The saint-Qi shield around him shattered as he was forced to take three steps backward.

“Nine-Step Saint King. Lesser Precept World!”

Seeing the strong man walking toward him, Pei Yutian’s heart skipped a beat.

There was a strong evil energy coming from the man, who never bothered to conceal his powerful air. There seemed to be a vague shadow of a fearsome, vicious tiger behind the man

“Hand over the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb and I will grant you a dignified death.” The man’s voice was grim.

Pei Yutian said nothing, just held up his rock saber as he infused his saint Qi into it.

Clear streaks of pattern appeared on the rock saber as a strange power was triggered.

“Kill!”

Pei Yutian shouted quietly as he lunged forward, waving his rock saber in his hand.

A bright light burst out of the saber as he struck at the strong man.

“Moribund!” The strong man hissed.

He struck out a hand, and it turned into variegated tiger claws.

The variegated tiger claws ballooned as large as ten-yard across as it went against the headwind.

At that moment, streaks of black lightning emerged and wrapped around the variegated tiger claws.

The saber light shattered at once as the variegated tiger paw grabbed it.

At the same time, nearly a hundred black lightnings that looked like venomous snakes shot out.

Pei Yutian tried his best to block them. Even so, three black lightning slipped through and hit him, leaving behind three charred bloody wounds in his body.

As they engaged again, Pei Yutian was outmatched. All he could do was to parry and had no means of fighting back.

“How dare a Seven-Step Saint King try to resist me!”

The strong man snickered, his eyes filled with scorn.

Variegated tiger claws got even larger as it reached to grab Pei Yutian.

As the strange energy field of the cave continued to weaken, the other people could barge in soon. So before that happened, he had to kill Pei Yutian and take all the treasure for himself.

At least, he was determined to get that Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb.

If push comes to shove, he would take the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb, leave the Kunlun Realm, and find a place to refine it. By then, when he would achieve a quantum leap in his cultivation base, and no one could do anything about it.

Bang!

Pei Yutian was forced back with blood oozing out from the corner of his mouth.

The difference between a Seven-Step and Nine-Step Saint King was simply too huge. Pei Yutian was still punching above his weight, no matter how talented he was.

After all, he did not have the supreme, perfect physique of Zhang Ruochen. It was fantastic of him to fight someone whose cultivation base was two-realm higher than he was. He was just a Saint King, and his opponent was apparently no slouch.

The strong man came with more attacks, not giving Pei Yutian the chance to catch his breath.

Bang!

The variegated tiger claws hit Pei Yutian, sending him flying backward deeper into the cave before crashing into a rock.

Pei Yutian puked a mouthful of blood that mixed with bits and pieces of his broken organs.

It was freezing deeper inside the cave, and his blood was frozen into red ice crystals instantly.

The rock that he had crashed into and broke apart just now was emitting a divine light.

An incredibly strange scene appeared as rocks fell from the cave ceiling with loud rumbles.

Evil air dissipated as a divine energy spread along the divine light.

The brilliant light shone from the cave dome looked as if they were stars, pearls, and gemstones.

In fact, those were the Godstones.

A pond appeared in sight under the illumination of the divine light. The pond was glowing in r
