Chapter 21: The Sect Leader
Just as Chen Tian was about to deliver the final blow to Li Mei Ling, Su Bingxin tightly grasped his hand.
"Greetings, Sect Leader." Hearing Su Bingxin call the old man sect leader, Chen Tian, bowed slightly in respect.
His impression of the sect was quite good because, when he was testing his talent, the old woman in the sect had previously spoken up to help him.
The old man's eyes flickered as he looked at Chen Tian. He didn't hide the surprise in his eyes at all.
He was indeed worthy of being a purple talent cultivator. He had just stepped onto the path of cultivation and was already able to erupt with such powerful battle power.
However, it really was too much of a pity. In the end, it would be difficult for him to break free from the curse of his continent's weak foundation. Even though his strength would be great in the early stages, he still couldn't advance too far on the longevity path.
Otherwise, the sect would have another genius who had hope of entering the Immortal Sword Sect.
'Maybe if he could enter the Immortal Sword Sect his lack of resource will be fixed, but with his strength, is still lacking I don't think he can'
Although the old man felt that it was a pity, he still said, "Since ancient times, the path of cultivation has been bumpy. Su Bingxin, even though your cultivation partner's continent rank isn't ideal, and it looks like the heavens want to cut off your longevity path, we cultivators have to fight with the world for longevity and opportunities. Don't be discouraged."
Then, the old man took out two black iron tokens and controlled them to float in front of Chen Tian and Su Bingxin.
The two of them received the tokens and saw the word 'immortal' engraved on them.
"This token is the token of the Immortal Sword Sect's selection this time. The two of you shall represent the sect and give it a try."
After that, the old man soared into the sky again. The sect leader came quickly and left quickly as well. After he arrived, he only said a few simple words, threw two tokens, and left swiftly.
"Let's forget about what happened today. Do not kill."
Just as Chen Tian was thinking to himself, he suddenly heard a soft voice.
"Little friend, since you've accepted the token, please spare Li Mei Ling's life. Consider it giving this old man face."
Chen Tian was stunned. "This???" Soon, he realized the old man's intention. The old man was most likely afraid that he would not be able to contain himself and take Li Mei Ling's life. In fact, he was also thinking the same thing. After all, they had already formed grudges. Only the dead could make one feel at ease.
However, Li Mei Ling was backed by a large clan. If she were to lose her life in the sect, although they weren't afraid, they didn't want to cause trouble. Furthermore, the old man was the sect leader. In front of so many people, pleading for leniency with a junior would definitely be embarrassing. From his earlier appearance, one could tell how much the old man valued his dignity.
Thus, he played this trick on Chen Tian. On the surface, he looked like an expert, but he was secretly pleading for mercy.
"Who wants your token?" Chen Tian thought
However, the old man did not give Chen Tian a chance to return the token. Although he did not care for the token, that did not mean that it was useless to Su Bingxin. The surrounding people, including Su Bingxin, did not know the voice transmission the old man sent to Chen Tian.
The unified thought in everyone's minds was that if the sect leader appeared, he should be able to suppress this fella, right?
"Fine, I won't kill. After all, the sect leader has already spoken." Chen Tian quietly cooperated with the elder, not exposing him. The sect gave him quite a good impression, especially when the sect leader even played such a trick on him just now. Even though it left him speechless, it didn't make him feel disgusted. Chen Tian also felt that this sect leader was quite interesting.
This old man was indeed the sect leader. The moment he spoke, this fiend would not dare to move. Everyone present thought so.
However, just as this thought appeared in their minds, they saw Chen Tian walk over to Li Mei Ling's side, grab the unconscious Li Mei Ling, and start to slap her repeatedly.
"Didn't you say that you wouldn't kill anymore?" A woman who couldn't bear to watch anymore asked.
"I didn't kill her. I only saw that her left and right cheeks were not equally round, so I helped her fix them."
Hearing Chen Tian's words, Li Mei Ling, who had just regained consciousness from the pain, spat out another mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, Chen Tian had dodged quickly enough. If not, his face would have been sprayed with blood. It was fine for Chen Tian to dodge, but it was even worse for Li Mei Ling. Her body was already weak, and she had been lifted up by Chen Tian. With Chen Tian dodging, she lost her support and fell heavily onto the ground.
"Bastard! I will definitely kill you!"
"I helped you with plastic surgery out of goodwill, but you still plotted against me. You still dare to spout nonsense, right?!"
After he finished speaking, he stepped forward and ruthlessly stepped on the paralyzed Li Mei Ling.
"Ah!"
After ten minutes, Li Mei Ling, who had already lost half her life, collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud. She didn't even have the strength to moan. Only then did Chen Tian stop. With an unsatisfied expression, he followed Su Bingxin into the distance.
After taking a few steps, Chen Tian's body flashed with white light again, and his body emitted the aura of the 10th stage of body refinement.
"What the f*ck!"
"Freak! Freak!"
"Didn't he just reach the ninth stage not long ago?!"
The spectators who had yet to disperse were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground. He had just started cultivating today, and they had already fought and broken through.
"What have I been doing previously!"
"This is what cultivation should be like!"
Not only that, but the aura emanating from Chen Tian's body grew stronger and stronger. Soon, he was only barely able to restrain himself after reaching the peak of the 10th stage of body refinement. As he advanced, his breakthroughs shocked everyone.
