Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 125: A Revolution

Chapter 125: A Revolution

The Greatsword Gates swordsmanship was centered around the concept of heaviness, and its master had grasped the essence of it. By exploiting the weight of the great sword, he was able to move at the speed of lightning and unleash terrifyingly strong blows.

Huangfu Jie dodged the great swords onslaught with his superior movement skill, while controlling his seven sabers to continuously attack his opponent. However, the Greatsword Gate Master was able to easily fend off the seven sabers with his great sword.

Both sides exchanged a hundred blows, but there was still no victor in sight. The martial artists who had gathered from far and wide cheered in delight. Even the Bear Mountain Sect Master, a pinnacle Ki Control martial artist, had only lasted thirty blows against Huangfu Jie before falling in defeat.

How could the crowd not be delighted when the Greatsword Gate Master was displaying strength on par with Huangfu Jie? After all, he was the leader of this operation!

If you ask me, the Greatsword Gate Master is the number expert of our southern region. Huangfu Jie doesnt dare to clash head on with him at all.

The Profound Saber Sect thought they could stop us with just Huangfu Jie, but just the Greatsword Gate Master is enough to deal with him!

Such murmurs could be heard from the surroundings.

Xian Kun and the others proudly lifted their heads as they looked at the Profound Saber Sects disciples with disdain in their eyes.

Dont just dodge my swordsmanship. You wont win at this rate! The Greatsword Gate Master burst into hearty laughter.

Huangfu Jies face turned cold. One of his sabers suddenly circled around the great sword at an incredible speed to strike the vitals of the Greatsword Gate Master.

Clang!

The Greatsword Gate Master was able to maneuver his great sword in time to block the saber, but the attack left a small cut on his cheek. Blood seeped from the cut.

The Greatsword Gate Master had sustained an injury, but Huangfu Jie remained unscathed.

A round of applause broke out from the Profound Saber Sect, whereas the Greatsword Gates disciples and the other martial artists turned grim.

My saber art consists of nothing but killing moves, Huangfu Jie said. They arent suited for sparring. If you insist on continuing this battle, itll come down to a life-and-death battle.

Give it a try then! the Greatsword Gate Master touched the wound on his cheek and sneered.

The battle intensified. The attacks became more ferocious and deadly, leaving the crowd nervous.

After trading another fifty blows, the Greatsword Gate Master was covered in injuries, whereas Huangfu Jie remained unscathed.

By this point, it was already clear who was the stronger martial artist here.

A few clashes later, the Greatsword Gate Master retreated and said, You do live up to your title as the southern regions top expert. If not for the Xia Imperial Duke, you would have been Great Xias strongest martial artist.

If you knew how strong Imperial Duke Fang is, why did you still rally martial artists to encircle our Profound Saber Sect? Imperial Duke Fang would have long destroyed us if we had anything to do with the massacre of the Heavensword Mountain Villa, Huangfu Jie said.

He might be strong, but we cant allow him to stir chaos in the southern region with just a single word, the Greatsword Gate Master replied.

Thats right! What did our Black Dragon Sect do wrong? The Valiant Defenders destroyed our Black Dragon Sect at a single word from Imperial Duke Fang! Over a hundred of our members were either killed or injured! someone exclaimed.

The Black Dragon Sect was located in the South Immortal Commandery too, putting them under Chiliarch Jues jurisdiction.

Thats the case for our Salt Sect too! Were just a group of merchants who learned a bit of martial arts to protect ourselves. Why is he coming after us?

Dissatisfied voices echoed from the surroundings.

The Heavensword Mountain Sect probably faced the same fate too. They must have somehow angered Imperial Duke Fang, prompting him to destroy them. You, Huangfu Jie, have close ties with Imperial Duke Fang. I suspect that you made a move on his behalf!

We must maintain order in the southern region! We demand justice and accountability!

The Heavensword Mountain Villas massacre has nothing to do with Imperial Duke Fangs decision to purge the South Immortal Commandery. The Valiant Defenders wouldnt have knocked on your doors if you didnt do anything wrong. Dont think that you can act as you please just because youre far away from the imperial capital! Huangfu Jie sneered.

The southern region has its own rules. We are all law-abiding citizens. If any of us did wrong, we can simply sit down and talk things out. How can we allow the Valiant Defenders to interfere in our affairs and tell us whats right and wrong?

The southern region is founded upon the autonomy of our sects. If we allow the South Immortal Commandery to be purged today, the same could happen to the other eight commanderies in the future! That would just make our southern region the same as the northern region. There would be no pugilistic world to speak of! the Greatsword Gate Master roared.

This matter began due to the Heavensword Mountain Villa, so it should be settled through it too. Give me a satisfactory explanation, or else well take things into our own hands and uphold the order of the southern regions pugilistic world by ourselves!

What arrogant words! Jue Panshi was already annoyed at being trapped here for many days, and those words further piqued his ire. You bunch of misfits think you can act as you please! Our tens of thousands of elite troops can easily wipe the floor with you!

Hahaha!

Quite a few martial artists roared in laughter.

The Greatsword Gate Master laughed as well. Chiliarch Jue, where are the tens of thousands of elite troops you speak of? You should be smart enough to figure things out by now.

Jue Panshi was rendered speechless.

Haa Huangfu Jie suddenly sighed. The young master is right. The southern regions pugilistic world is in chaos. When no one holds the reins, the ones to suffer are the common populace.

Youre wrong. Hes wrong too. The southern regions pugilistic world has never been in chaos. On the contrary, the only way to prevent the southern regions pugilistic world from descending into chaos is to uphold the order we have maintained thus far. The Greatsword Gate Master shook his head.

Lets destroy the Profound Saber Sect and show the northerners our will!

We have always steered clear of each others path, but Fang Chen chose to interfere in the southern regions affairs. He isnt a martial artist of the pugilistic world; what makes him think that he has the right to mess with us?

Send Huangfu Jies head to the capital so as to let Fang Chen know our will! If he wants to mess with us, well have no choice but to tear the southern region away from Great Xia!

In terms of strength, our southern region is far stronger than the northern region. How many of Great Xias soldiers were born from the southern region? So many of our men died in the Three Realms Mountain back then. How can Fang Chen be so brazen as to still mess with us?

Indeed! Our people fill their army from the top to the bottom; there are even generals from the south too! They might listen to the northerners when dealing with foreigners, but if a civil war ever breaks out, lets see who they will side with!

Since the strongest sect masters from the Nine Commanderies are here, why dont we hold a conference of the pugilistic world and decide on an alliance master right now? The alliance master shall be the one to decide the rules of the southern region from now onward. The northern region wont be able to do anything about us!

There was a mood change amidst the crowd. Quite a few people were startled. The Bear Mountain Sect Master looked at the Greatsword Gate Master, and his expression slowly turned grim.

This is bad. They are taking our Profound Saber Sect as fodder for their ambitions! The Profound Saber Sect Master was horrified. He turned to Huangfu Jie and roared, You need to escape right now!

We should first avenge the Heavensword Mountain Villa, then select an alliance master. Afterward, lets choose one sect to take over the South Immortal Commandery, the Greatsword Gate Master said.

The eyes of the thousands of martial artists gathered here lit up. It was a dream for them to settle down in the South Immortal Commandery. This place was closer to the northern region, so it was the wealthiest one of the Nine Commanderies.

The power balance in the southern region would be rewritten from this day onward. All of them would benefit greatly from this event. This could be considered as a revolution for the southern regions pugilistic world.

The Greatsword Gate Master didnt even have to say a word; the thousands of martial artists had already begun encroaching on the Profound Saber Sect. After many days of encirclement, they were finally out for blood.
