Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Even a Top Grandmaster is Just So

On the mountain trail.

It was eerily quiet.

There were no other travelers.

"Sorry, I don’t even know who you are, how would I know what I took?"

Li Qian looked at the man in the black cloak holding a sword, feigning a surprised expression.

"Heh, you will know."

The man in the black cloak chuckled lightly.

As he spoke, he actually took off the black cloak he was wearing.

Revealing a black mask that covered the upper half of his face.

He carefully folded the black cloak and placed it in a cloth bag, which he then carried on his back.

Li Qian, watching his actions, immediately understood that the black cloak must be a treasure, hence the man was treating it with such care, fearing it might get damaged.

Suddenly, the man moved.

His entire figure seemed to form an illusion as he rushed toward Li Qian with great speed.

Swoosh!

Bright sword light shone brilliantly.

It was as if the sky was filled with falling snowflakes.

Beautiful snowflakes landed on Li Qian.

Unexpectedly, it caused an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if countless small knives were cutting into his body.

It wasn’t a physical sensation.

But rather a mental one.

Li Qian’s eyes focused on the sword.

Not only was the black cloak likely a Divine Refinement Device.

This sword also turned out to be a Divine Refinement Device.

Otherwise, with just the man’s Illusion Level Sword Intent, he wouldn’t be able to induce real pain in his spirit.

A bell rang in his mind, and the pain in his spirit disappeared instantly.

Seeing the sword light approaching. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

Li Qian suddenly drew his sword.

The sword unleashed was like a dragon.

Accompanied by a clang.

The swords collided and sparks flew.

Following that, the man’s body shook violently, his eyes showing a dazed expression.

In the next moment, two figures crossed each other.

Li Qian, with his back to the man, sheathed his still gleaming sword back into its scabbard.

"Heaven..."

The man only managed to utter a single word before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

There was a blood hole in his chest.

"Not a half-demon? Even a top Grandmaster is just so."

Li Qian shook his head.

This man’s cultivation, definitely reached the Late Stage of the True Essence Realm.

Pity, the gap in Martial Intent was too wide.

Even though the opponent had a Divine Refinement Blade, propelled by Sword Intent that could harm the spirit,

sadly, such mental attacks simply couldn’t affect Li Qian.

After all, the Chen Bell possesses strong mental defense, able to withstand a certain extent of Martial Intent attacks.

Li Qian simply used his Heartless Sword Intent to suppress the opponent’s Sword Intent, then effortlessly killed him with a single strike.

He walked over to the corpse.

Using his sword’s scabbard, he fiddled with the body and took the cloth bag containing the black cloak.

And that sword...

He couldn’t use it, as his comprehension was of the Sword Intent.

However, such a Divine Refinement Weapon was extremely precious, enough to be a sect’s heritage treasure in a regular martial arts force.

He also searched the body, finding a small bundle containing various jars and bottles.

Pity there was nothing to prove the man’s identity or background.

So far, Li Qian still didn’t know exactly what kind of force this was.

Next, he tossed the corpse into the nearby forest.

Burying was not an option.

Anyway, there were many wild beasts outside, why bother burying when gastric burial was more convenient?

After doing all this, Li Qian returned to the main road, mounted his horse, and continued forward nonchalantly.

Now he had an additional cloth bag on the horse.

And a wrapped sword.

"Going out on missions in the future seems to require more caution.... But I can’t always be this passive, I need to think of an effective method."

Li Qian pondered as he rode.

This outing revealed his tracks, and there were only two possibilities.

One is that there was a spy from that force within the Divine Sword Sect.
