Chapter 309: Lightning Fusion
“Xuezang isn’t just a disciple of the Tenth Hall. I heard he obtained the inheritance from the Nether Peak which is why people call him the Devil Apprentice.”
“All of his swords have a great background; they were left behind by ancient lineages. For some reason, they all flew to the sword pond inside the Nether Peak, so Xuezang obtained all of them.”
“He killed his father to refine the swords, so all of them are stained with his father’s blood.”
This battle had exceeded everyone’s imaginations and left them in shock. Even the Heretical Lords were astonished. They weren’t this powerful back at grand achievement God Base.
Everyone was discussing without holding anything back and a certain secret was revealed.
“I heard Xuezang is the young noble from the Nalan Clan. Unfortunately, his mother was from the lower class and gave birth to him after being raped by his father, so his status was wretched in the clan as well. Even the servants bullied him by not giving food to the two of them.
“One winter, the situation was particularly severe and the two were freezing and starving. The people outside of their room all assumed that they starved to death. Suddenly, Xuezang came out with blood dripping from his mouth. He killed all the servants outside without leaving a single one alive before leaving the clan and disappearing into the biting wind and snow.
“Later on, someone walked into the room and was horrified by the scene inside. They found someone boiled in a pot — his mother. He survived by eating his own mother.
“Five years later, he came down the Nether Peak with his nine swords and murdered his father. After offering his father’s blood to the swords, he headed west. After another three years later and ninety thousand miles of killing, leaving nothing in his path, he finally joined the Tenth Hall of the Senluo Temple.
“He once fought against the Tenth Lord after joining the temple. Xuezang had only just reached grand achievement God Base while the lord was already at first level Heaven’s Mandate. However, the moment he used his nine swords, even the Tenth Lord couldn’t do anything to him.”
This was a frightening youth. Many who had heard of his experience felt their scalp tingle. His glare alone made them tremble in fear, let alone thinking about fighting him. It was no wonder a top prodigy like Lu Chengfeng didn’t want to fight him. There was too much of a psychological burden to go against someone like Xuezang.
“After fighting against the Tenth Lord, his swords rarely left their sheaths. After all, they must taste blood once they’re unleashed.”
