The Hedonist Sword God

As the man finished speaking, everyone came to their senses and glared at him as if he was a fool.

Tsk, did he really think just because he was handsome enough to shame the best looking goddesses, everyone else would listen to what he would say?

But his words however were true, the first person who came back and gave the information on the flower said that he had seen hundreds of people burned to death by a handsome man for trespassing his so called boundary.

While two of the three sect masters, were frowning at the idiot who jumped in the middle of their fight, the third one however was trembling as he spoke.

"You.... You're Jian Shen, the Heavenly Dragon Sword wielder, right?"

Actually, the man himself had never met Jian Shen before, but the person in front of him looked exactly like in the stories.

A very handsome man, who wears white robes and carries a white coloured long sword on his back, that had a black coloured coiling dragon pattern on its hilt. In all the stories he had heard from others, Jian Shen was so strong that he could easily slaughter everyone present there. However, maybe the stories were overrated since his strength didn't seem much higher than their own.

Receiving a cold nod from Jian Shen, the whole place immediately stiffened. Just like the Sect Master who asked the question, every one of them had heard stories of the orphan who always defied the odds, and grew from a nobody that was on the brink of death, to the now Heavenly Dragon Sword wielder that had the potential to become an Apex figure of the whole realm!

"Wait a second... I heard that a few days back a huge battle took place in the newly formed realm! There Jian Shen was heavily wounded for stealing a treasure from the Phoenix Maiden... That means... "

As soon as those words were uttered, the smart ones quickly understood everything. No wonder such a high level treasure appeared in the Little Ice Domain. Jian Shen must have brought it there and given it to the woman after stealing it from the Phoenix Maiden!

But from the looks of it, the injury Jian Shen suffered must be very serious, since someone like him had still not recovered which was visible from the aura around him, and the pale skin that lacked liveliness.

Furthermore, Jian Shen was rumoured to be close to breaking into the middle realms of his Dao Cultivation, but right now he was only in the early stages of it! This clearly showed that his injury was so bad, that it set back his cultivation!

Once the three sect masters figured it out, their eyes started flowing with greed as they looked towards the sword on his back, and the crest on his right arm.

As long as they could obtain the Heavenly Dragon Sword, and the World Crest, they would no longer have to worry about leaping from snakes into a dragon! It was said that as long as one could bring out the true strength of the sword, they could burn down a whole realm!

Immediately they no longer cared about the Thousand Petal Yin Lotus, and ordered their forces to attack Jian Shen instead.

After all, even though he was heavily wounded and his cultivation had receded, at the end of the day, he was still Jian Shen, the one who defied the heavens!

Though no one wanted to be the first one to fight against him, after hearing about how he was seriously wounded, and the one who killed him would be rewarded heavily, they gave up all hesitation.

As the saying goes, animals die from hunger, while humans die from greed.

No longer fearing Jian Shen, more like trying to suppress their fear by hoping that they could overpower him with their numbers, all the cultivators from the three sects brandished their weapons and unleashed their strongest techniques hoping to kill him in their first attack.

Facing the accumulation of so many cultivators, and three low level Dao Beasts, if it was before, then Jian Shen wouldn't have even batted an eye. However since he burned his soul and dao to obtain the Thousand Petal Yin Lotus, he was still in a weakened state.

Furrowing his brows, and turning serious, Jian Shen pulled out the sword from his back, and unleashed all his energy as he slashed in 360 degrees around him.

Following which bright white coloured flames came out of the sword turning into a flame tornado that engulfed those who were trying to attack at him.

Before they could even launch a single attack, Jian Shen had already eliminated every single one of them, turning them into ashes.

Watching all of this, the three sect masters widely smiled. Even though they had lost their sect guardians, and all of their high level members, they didn't care even the slightest about it. This was because they could clearly see how Jian Shen now looked even weaker, and his face was reeking of exhaustion.

Indeed they felt their heart pain a little, but when they thought about the Heavenly Dragon Sword, and the World Crest falling into their hands, the pain was nothing.

"Let's not fight with each other, or backstab while fighting against him. After we kill him, one of us will take the Heavenly Dragon Sword, while the other two will divide all the resources inside his World Crest. Okay?"

Silently nodding at the sensible solution, on the inside they each started making plans on how to kill the other two after killing Jian Shen.

Flying towards him, the three of them took out their weapons and repeatedly attacked him, with the intention to wear him down while using their Dao techniques from time to time.

Slowly but surely Jian Shen who was holding back the three of them, was now being pushed back as wounds started appearing all over his body.

As blood started bleeding all over his body, Jian Shen glanced down at the woman who was still inside the ice, and bitterly smiled.

If things kept on going like this, then he'd end up dying after which those greedy humans would definitely kill the woman and steal the flower as well.

As fire, water and ice kept on clashing where the four of them were fighting, the sky and land continuously trembling.

Not holding back, Jian Shen once again started burning his cultivation as he immediately took the trio by surprise and killed one of them.

Retreating a little and trying to exhaust Jian Shen to death, the remaining two started trying to play it safe. But Jian Shen was like a cornered beast who no longer cared for himself.

Rushing straight into the saber which pierced through his stomach, he killed one more. And finally, he caught the spear with his bare hands and plunged his sword into the last one's heart, finally killing all three of them.

As soon as Jian Shen had killed all three of them, his vision started turning blurry as strength started leaving his body rapidly.

Looking down at the group that was there from the beginning, not even giving them a chance to speak or run away, Jian Shen used the remaining strength inside him to slash his sword and turn all of them into mists of blood.

As the whole group was immediately killed, their blood rained down covering the ice in blood.

At the same time a woman with abysmal black coloured hair appeared close to the battlefield with a worried expression, and an exhausted breath, showing that she had come rushing at her fastest speed.

Jian Shen was vigilant of the newcomer thinking that it would be another enemy, however as he saw her face a pitiful and sorry smile appeared on his face as his weak body immediately started falling down crashing into the now blood soaked ice.

Not a second after he crashed into the land, the ice which covered the woman cracked open and the flower in her hands melted, disappearing into her body.

The very moment she opened get eyes she was stunned by the red coloured ice around her, and the same red coloured Jian Shen lying not too far from her.
