Chapter 554: Wang Baole: How Can You Be So Unreasonably Arrogant
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the disciples of the Forgetful Affection Palace entered North Jade Mountain in an orderly manner.
No one flew out from North Jade Mountain, nor was any sound heard from within, nor did any accidents occur.
They were safe.
The same thought flashed through everyone's mind present.
The Jinchan Buddhist Son and the Crown Prince of North Abyss exchanged glances, then said in unison: "Fellow Daoist, please go first."
The Crown Prince of North Abyss smiled faintly: "Since Fellow Daoist Jinchan has spoken, then this Crown Prince will not decline. Black Dragon Army, heed my command, full army, advance!"
"Yes!"
With a deafening sound, the Black Dragon Army marched majestically into North Jade Mountain, followed closely by the disciples of Great Thunder Sound Temple.
Seeing this, Nie Xiuyuan said to Elder Huang beside him: "Instruct the disciples, it's time for us to set off as well."
"Yes."
After Elder Huang finished speaking, he turned to give orders.
A short while later, the cultivators of the Inquiry Path Academy also advanced into North Jade Mountain.
Cultivators from other sacred grounds along the way also wanted to rush into North Jade Mountain first, but they stopped their steps upon seeing Nie Xiuyuan leading the way.
After everyone entered North Jade Mountain, they felt a bright light that made everyone unable to open their eyes.
But after the light disappeared, Wang Baole found himself alone. He murmured: "I didn't expect this North Jade Mountain to be like the ruins Senior Brother Ye took us to, automatically separating people."
However, this was nothing significant for cultivators from sacred grounds. Each of them had communication talismans, making it easy to find their fellow disciples.
Wang Baole then took out a communication talisman from his storage ring, but soon discovered that it had failed.
He closed his eyes and sensed that besides the rich spiritual energy in the mountain, there was no difference from other places.
He slowly opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings. Looking at the dense, lush forest, he didn't overthink and walked into the woods.
The spiritual energy in North Jade Mountain was abundant, and it only opened once every thousand years. There might be many good things in the forest.
A short while later, Wang Baole heard rustling sounds in the forest.
And they were coming from more than one direction. It seemed many cultivators had landed in this area.
He immediately stopped his steps, tightly gripping his firewood knife, and stared intently at the nearest source of the sound.
Two figures emerged from the depths of the dense forest. Both were cultivators from the North Abyss Sacred Dynasty, and one of them was a member of the Black Dragon Army. Judging by his attire, he seemed to be no ordinary soldier but a powerful cultivator.
The two opposite also saw Wang Baole. Since there was already animosity between them, seeing their enemy now made their eyes burn with hatred.
The man spoke: "Kid, you're unlucky to meet this General here!"
The rustling sounds in the forest stopped instantly at these words, and countless eyes turned toward this place.
When they saw that the opposing parties were from the Inquiry Path Academy and the North Abyss Sacred Dynasty, excited expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
"General."
Wang Baole said calmly: "So you're an expert from the Black Dragon Army."
"That's right."
The man said proudly: "The Crown Prince's Black Dragon Army is divided into seven armies, each led by a king or marquis. This General is precisely the Vice General of the Seventh Army. To die at my hands, you can consider it worthwhile."
After hearing his words, Wang Baole nodded slightly and murmured: "Vice General of the Black Dragon Army, indeed qualified to be my opponent."
???
The onlookers in the forest were all filled with question marks, beginning to ponder in their minds the identity of this little fatty.
But no matter how they pondered, they couldn't figure out which genius from the Inquiry Path Academy this little fatty was.
Meanwhile, the face of the Seventh Vice General was particularly gloomy. He never expected that this little fatty holding a firewood knife would not only show no fear upon hearing his identity but would actually seem somewhat disdainful.
He said with a gloomy face: "What an arrogant kid, do you dare to tell me your name?"
Wang Baole said with a smile: "Listen carefully, I am Wang Baole, the fourth true disciple under the Great Sage Qiankun."
"Demon-Slaying Heavenly Saber!"
"This little fatty is actually the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Saber!"
"..."
A sudden gasp came from the dense forest.
Upon hearing the words "Demon-Slaying Heavenly Saber," the disdain in the Seventh Vice General's eyes instantly vanished, replaced by an excited expression as he said loudly:
"I've heard that the disciples of the Great Sage Qiankun are all geniuses, not only invincible among their peers but also capable of challenging higher realms. Today, I want to see if you, a fellow who relied on his master's Sword Jade to suppress the extraterritorial celestial demons, dare to fight me head-on!"
"Hehe."
Wang Baole chuckled: "How do you manage to say such things to me with such a straight face?"
"Just tell me, do you dare or not?"
While using provocation, the Seventh Vice General was also gathering his energy to prepare for an escape.
"I'll grant you your wish."
Wang Baole agreed without a second thought.
Hiss...
The onlookers in the forest gasped upon hearing this.
Faintly, they could hear people discussing.
"The Demon-Slaying Heavenly Saber is being foolish. Every vice general of the Black Dragon Army has slain Nirvana Realm cultivators. He's in big trouble this time."
"Sigh... the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Saber is still too young."
"..."
Listening to the crowd's discussion, the Seventh Vice General had already cursed them all in his heart.
These fellows deserve to die, actually exposing my background. After I force this Wang Baole back, I'll make them my first targets.
He squinted and asked: "Don't tell me you're scared?"
Hearing this, Wang Baole laughed: "What are you thinking? Challenging a Nirvana Realm cultivator is just basic. If you can't even do that, I'd be too lazy to make a move. Stop wasting time, I'll give you the first move."
Arrogant!
The onlookers subconsciously gave Wang Baole a thumbs-up.
They really wanted to ask him at that moment how he could say something so arrogant in such a calm tone.
The Seventh Vice General was also completely enraged by this statement. Fortunately, as a vice general, he still retained his reason. He slowly drew his treasured blade and said in a deep voice: "You forced this!"
As the words fell, the blade in his hand slashed down violently!
"Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies!"
It was an extremely ordinary, yet extremely practical, blade technique.
It was a killing blow, and it was a blow filled with fighting spirit.
A terrifying blade intent instantly swept through the surroundings.
"Perfect blade intent, nothing more than that."
Wang Baole spoke, casually chopping down with the firewood knife in his hand.
Fast, precise, and ruthless!
Without the slightest hint of sloppiness!
Clang!
As a flash of blade light passed, the forest instantly fell silent.
The two blade energies also dissipated. Before the crowd could react, the Seventh Vice General's voice sounded faintly.
"What kind of blade technique is this?"
"Firewood-chopping technique."
As Wang Baole's words fell, the Seventh Vice General's face showed a look of shock, and then he slowly collapsed...
