Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I m dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 1024: Fearless, Facing Two Daolords
Editor: Henyee Translations

“You have slain disciples of the Sacred Skeleton Sect!”

As Jiang Chengxuan and the members of the Haoran Sect exchanged pleasantries, suddenly, a fierce shout filled with resentment and hatred pierced the air, chilling to the bone.

The pleasantries were abruptly cut off as Jiang Chengxuan and the others turned towards the source of the inquiry—Daolord Skeleton. His face, already gaunt as a dead tree, now contorted into an even more grotesque mask, a dense murderous aura shrouded his face, and from the deep recesses of his shadowed eyes, a cold light surged violently.

Upon entering their sect, disciples of the Sacred Skeleton Sect are endowed with a secret technique akin to a curse. Anyone who kills a disciple of the sect is marked by this technique. This Skeleton Secret technique, a heritage from ancient times within the sect, cannot be completely shielded even by Jiang Chengxuan’s powers of Heavenly Calculation Technique.

Previously, when disciples of the Sacred Skeleton Sect were killed by Jiang Chengxuan from a thousand miles away, he could still obscure the heavens’ secrets and prevent Daolord Skeleton from tracking him. However, now face-to-face, the Daolord could easily sense the aura of the secret technique.

“Young lady, have you also seen disciples from my Ghost Hall? I wonder, where might they be now?”

Before Jiang Chengxuan could respond to Daolord Skeleton, Daolord Phantom Ghost interjected with a sinister tone towards Shen Ruyan. His face bore an eerily bizarre smile, his cracked lips forming a sinister grin, and his deep green eyes rolled with venomous hatred.

Although the Ghost Hall lacked the Sacred Skeleton Sect’s enemy-marking secret technique, as a Mahayana Daolord, he was acutely sensitive to the karmic ties on him.

The Ghost Hall’s techniques included aspects of life and death karma. When Shen Ruyan appeared, Daolord Phantom Ghost instantly felt a strong karma indicating that this newcomer was the murderer of many of his disciples.

In the void, the chilling domain of skeletal rules expanded. Hell of ghosts swelled instantly, filled with wailing and howling specters, viewing Jiang Chengxuan and his companions as their next feast.

Both Daolord Skeleton and Phantom Ghost unleashed their powers, attempting to pressure Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

“How dare these villains act so impudently!”

Faced with the suppression from both Daolords, Qin Shenwu could no longer hold back his rage. He burst forth with the power of the Five Elements Dao rule, countering the onslaught of the two Daolords.

Rumble!

The void erupted once again, the strike changing the color of the sky and causing the earth to tremble. The area seemed to turn into a disaster zone. Yet, this was merely a probe; after the attack, both Daolord Skeleton and Phantom Ghost still stood their ground, glaring fixedly at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, awaiting their response.

But the reply from Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan completely ignited the already tense atmosphere.

“Disciples of your Sacred Skeleton Sect dared to strike against me. As the Sect Master of Haoran, even if I slew them all, what of it?”

“As for the demonic cultivators of the Ghost Hall, I indeed encountered them, but that was in a land of opportunity where they were all turned to ash by divine thunder.”

Facing the murderous glares of the two demonic Daolords, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan remained unflappable, their tone calm.

To them, these Mahayana Daolords seemed no different from ordinary cultivators.

Their words instantly caused the faces of Daolord Skeleton and Phantom Ghost to darken as if dripping with ink, their eyes twitching uncontrollably, veins bulging in rage.

“Very well! You are bold indeed! To kill disciples of our sects and still dare to be so arrogant. From this day forth, you are the sworn enemies of the Sacred Skeleton Sect!”

Daolord Skeleton laughed maniacally in rage, completely breaking any pretense of peace with the Haoran Sect members.

“From this day forward, our Ghost Hall will also vow to kill you both. Slaughtering peers in your own realm, what is the Haoran Sect but a den of crooked hypocrites?”

Daolord Phantom Ghost, no longer maintaining any semblance of demeanor, gnashed his teeth as he spoke, yet did not forget to tarnish the reputation of the Haoran Sect.

They had long seen that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were merely at the Dao Mastery Realm, yet to be mocked by such was unprecedented and deemed a great disrespect. A Mahayana Daolord represents the pinnacle of power in the Floodgate Realm, revered much like elders by those of lesser realms.

However, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s mockery clearly showed they held no regard for the two Daolords, a situation grievous enough to infuriate them. Not even the death of their disciples had wounded them as deeply as this insult.

Even Qin Shenwu, Xie Xiangyao, and others frowned upon hearing such disdainful remarks from the two Mahayana Daolords.

Although they were unsure of the specifics behind Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s actions, the conversation gave them some inklings.

Regardless, as the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, Jiang Chengxuan’s actions, no matter what, would have the unwavering support of his sect members.

“Sorry, but the nature of my Haoran Sect is not up for judgment by the likes of you,” Jiang Chengxuan retorted with undiminished composure, standing firm against the threats of Daolord Skeleton and Phantom Ghost.

This scene was immensely tense. Facing two Mahayana Daolords with just the strength of Dao Mastery, Jiang Chengxuan exhibited neither subservience nor fear.

Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan, standing in the background, felt a surge of admiration seeing Jiang Chengxuan like this. At some point, their once junior brother had reached such a formidable level, standing unflinchingly against the strongest cultivators of the Floodgate Realm.

This moment left them both dazed, filled with a mix of emotions.

Even Daolord Skeleton and Phantom Ghost were taken aback by Jiang Chengxuan’s audacity. Could it be that this young cultivator harbored no fear in facing Mahayana Daolords?

What could possibly back such confidence?

Could it be that the current Sect Master of the Haoran Sect was merely a reckless youth?

These thoughts briefly crossed the minds of the naturally suspicious and cunning Daolords. Yet, they did not choose to let the matter drop.

No matter Jiang Chengxuan’s confidence or his provocations, as Mahayana Daolords, they could not let such disrespect go unchallenged. Otherwise, how could they maintain their standing in the Floodgate Realm?
