After Being Reborn, I Refuse To Be The Holy Son Of The Sect Anymore

Chapter 132:

Flying on their swords, they traveled thousands of miles in an instant! Jiang Qitian, the sect master of Azure Sun Sword Sect, led the sect’s top experts and arrived at Ghost Mist Valley.

Xiao Yang hadn’t expected Jiang Qitian to arrive so quickly. He had thought that even after receiving news of the disciples being trapped, Jiang Qitian wouldn’t make it until dawn at the earliest.

The sound of swords piercing through the sky echoed continuously as dazzling sword lights sliced through the darkness, descending over Ghost Mist Valley. In an instant, the entire valley was illuminated, and powerful sword energy surged through the air.

Hidden in the shadows, Xiao Yang looked up.

At the forefront stood a figure clad in a flowing white robe, his eyes sharp and piercing like a torch—Jiang Qitian, the sect master of Azure Sun Sword Sect and Xiao Yang’s master.

In Jiang Qitian’s hand was an ancient longsword, exuding a faint spiritual glow. A profound sword intent emanated subtly from its scabbard.

The moment he received the news, Jiang Qitian couldn’t sit still. 

Without hesitation, he gathered the sect’s top experts and personally brought the Azure Sun Sword to the valley.

Behind him were the sect’s most elite disciples, hovering in midair on their swords.

Gathered together, their sword energy soared to the heavens, making the surrounding air feel heavy and oppressive, causing heaven and earth to change color.

Inside the cave, Qin Fei grew frustrated. He hadn’t expected Jiang Qitian to arrive so quickly.

They hadn’t even managed to take down Ling Daochen yet. Now, their plan to lure Jiang Qitian and his forces into the Twelve Heavenly Demon Execution Formation had failed.

Indeed, man proposes, but heaven disposes.

Jiang Qitian floated in midair at the forefront of the Azure Sun Sword Sect disciples, his gaze sharp as he scanned the valley below.

“That’s Senior Ling!” Elder Fang Tang exclaimed in shock.

“The Twelve Heavenly Demon Execution Formation… How is this possible?” Elder Qinglian was equally astonished.

Inside the demonic formation, Li Gaitian clenched his fist and shattered Ling Daochen’s flying sword with ease. Then, grabbing Ling Daochen by the throat, he lifted him high into the air.

Ling Daochen coughed up blood repeatedly, completely powerless in Li Gaitian’s grasp, as fragile as an ant.

This was the overwhelming might of a half-saint.

Earlier, Xiao Yang had only managed to catch Li Gaitian off guard with a surprise attack. Even his full-force Taiyin Divine Fist had seemingly failed to inflict any significant damage.

Xiao Yang was well aware of how terrifying a half-saint could be. In his past life, he had cultivated to the Saint Martial Realm himself.

The power of a half-saint was something no martial expert at the Divine Martial Realm could ever hope to withstand.

“Jiang Qitian, hand over the Azure Sun Sword, or I will kill him along with all the disciples inside the cave.”

Li Gaitian, wearing a sinister bronze mask, spoke arrogantly.

“Sect Master, don’t worry about us! Use the Azure Sun Sword and eradicate these demonic remnants!” Ling Daochen roared furiously.

Watching from the shadows, Xiao Yang was curious to see how his seemingly righteous master would respond.

In his past life, Jiang Qitian had deceived him terribly.

If Jiang Qitian hadn’t constantly strung him along with false hope, he wouldn’t have ended up dying so tragically at Qin Fei’s hands.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Jiang Qitian.

“Demonic cult remnants deserve nothing but death!”

Jiang Qitian gripped the hilt of the Azure Sun Sword tightly.

Instantly, a terrifying sword aura burst from the ancient sword in his hand.

The Azure Sun Sword, the sect’s most treasured artifact, couldn’t be used recklessly. Even Jiang Qitian could only wield it two or three times a year at most.

Using it consumed an immense amount of vital energy. If he pushed it beyond his limits, it could drain his cultivation entirely, leaving him crippled or even dead.

Not long ago, Jiang Qitian had already used the sword once in the Northern Mountain Range of Yuanlong City.

“Hahaha… If you’re so capable, come and kill us!”

Inside the formation, Ming He’s voice echoed coldly.

Yin Yue stood guard inside the cave, ensuring their captive disciples remained secure.

Jiang Qitian’s unexpected arrival had thrown a wrench in their plans.

Ming He’s subordinates emerged behind him, their menacing figures looming in the thick mist.

“Sect Master, don’t worry about us—just kill them!” Ling Daochen roared with determination.

Watching from the darkness, Xiao Yang felt a complicated mix of emotions.

He admired Ling Daochen’s unwavering resolve, but he couldn’t forget that in his past life, Ling Daochen had chosen Qin Fei over him.

And it was Qin Fei who later used the blood of countless cultivators to unseal the Demonic Abyss, unleashing chaos that devastated the entire Northern Territory and Yuanwu Continent.

Ling Daochen had been an accomplice to it all.

“Sect Master…”

Everyone looked anxiously at Jiang Qitian, awaiting his decision.

Xiao Yang remained hidden, watching his master intently.

“Jiang Qitian, surrender the Azure Sun Sword and cripple your own cultivation, and I’ll spare these people.”

Li Gaitian sneered, his grip tightening around Ling Daochen’s throat.

No matter how mighty Jiang Qitian was, wasn’t he still at his mercy now?

“Jiang Qitian, you wouldn’t want to see your daughter die before your very eyes, would you?”

Ming He laughed wickedly as he gazed up at Jiang Qitian.

“You despicable scum!”

Jiang Qitian glared at Ming He with rage, itching to cut him into a thousand pieces.

These villains had dared to lay their hands on his daughter, something he could never tolerate.

“So what if we’re despicable? Hahaha…”

Ming He laughed wildly.

“Kill!”

Jiang Qitian gritted his teeth.

In an instant, a dazzling sword light burst forth, so bright that everyone had to shut their eyes tightly.

An immortal sword light, like a bolt of lightning, tore through the void and descended from the heavens, striking directly into the demonic formation below, which was shrouded in surging dark energy. The sword light swept through everything with unstoppable force, cutting through the formation as if it were paper. The overwhelming demonic energy within the formation rapidly dissipated, and the entire Twelve Heavenly Demon Execution Formation was split in two by a single strike.

Countless formation runes dissolved into nothingness. The twelve towering Demon Banners snapped in half instantly. The formation collapsed, and the twelve demonic phantoms within struggled briefly before vanishing into thin air.

Ming He’s subordinates didn’t even have time to scream before they were obliterated, their bodies turning into a mist of blood, their souls completely annihilated.

Ming He let out a miserable cry as he was hurled backward by the erupting sword aura, crashing heavily into the rocky wall beside the cave. The impact caused deep cracks to spread across the stone, revealing the force of the blow.

Such a terrifying formation had been utterly destroyed with a single strike from Jiang Qitian.

At the center of the attack, Li Gaitian barely managed to avoid being struck fatally, but he still let out a pained scream, staggering backward. His right arm, which had been clutching Ling Daochen, was severed cleanly at the shoulder and fell to the ground.

Jiang Qitian’s earth-shattering strike not only destroyed the Twelve Heavenly Demon Execution Formation but also severed Li Gaitian’s entire right arm.

Li Gaitian was so terrified that he abandoned his severed limb and fled into the sky without a second thought, disappearing into the distance.

At this moment, the remaining sword aura swept through the valley, dispersing all traces of demonic energy.

Everyone stood frozen in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief.

No one had imagined that the Azure Sun Sword possessed such devastating power.

Who could possibly withstand such a strike?

Even a true Martial Saint of the Saint Martial Realm would likely have to retreat in the face of its overwhelming might.

This was the true foundation of the Azure Sun Sword Sect.

Even without a Saint Martial Realm powerhouse in their ranks, no force in the Northern Territory dared to underestimate them.

Hidden in the shadows, Xiao Yang, however, remained completely unfazed.

He had already witnessed the power of the Azure Sun Sword in his previous life.

But the others were left utterly stunned.

“Run!”

Ming He, seizing the opportunity, rushed into the cave alongside Yin Yue. They grabbed Jiang Ting and made a desperate escape.

BOOM!

With a deafening explosion, they blasted through the cave and soared into the sky, rapidly fleeing into the distance.

Jiang Qitian attempted to pursue them, but his body suddenly wavered. He staggered, almost falling from the sky.

“Master!”

The crowd below gasped in alarm.

To everyone’s horror, Jiang Qitian’s hair began to turn white at an alarming rate.

In mere moments, his once jet-black hair had turned completely snow-white.

“Senior Sister has been taken!”

Qin Fei’s panicked voice echoed from below, filled with desperation and fear.

“Chase them!”

Jiang Qitian’s face contorted with rage and frustration, his voice trembling with fury.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang, who had been observing from the darkness, had already set off in silent pursuit.
