Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 463 - 293: Sheltering from Sand and Wind

It’s a pity that Xiao Teng is not some hidden tsundere tomboy beauty.

Therefore, his actions while standing in the fierce winds are not worth elaborating upon.

However, Mr. Xiao’s wish, in a certain sense, has indeed come true.

As long as the Six Sects don’t fall, the Righteous Path isn’t destroyed, and the Qinghe Association continues, his fame will last forever.

When the youths present now become elders, masters, seniors, every year during this season of blooming spring, the story of Mr. Xiao strolling birds in the wind will be recounted by them once more.

The disciples and grand-disciples of these people will also remember this story and continue passing it down.

Moreover, as time progresses, regardless of who tells the story, Mr. Xiao’s account will turn into something they claim to have witnessed firsthand, adding many subjective details.

Just like the Human Emperor who ventured to the sea of ancient times.

"I, your grandfather, personally witnessed..."

And the like.

If someone else had experienced such an event, they might have run away long ago.

Regardless of whether you’re from the Hundred Demons Sect or a Heavenly Destiny person, hiding your name and leaving for distant lands would be the right choice.

But Xiao Teng didn’t; he truly is a carefully selected good sapling of the Hundred Demons Sect, a person capable of undertaking significant tasks.

After calming down, he thought of his father, Xiao Yilong.

When he was young, to train his courage, his father kicked him off a cliff and caught him right before he hit the ground, and as a reward for not crying, told him two stories.

One story was about the Human Emperor playing with water.

Legend has it that the Human Emperor could toy with the river of time, entering and exiting it seven times, traversing both the future and the past.

The second story was about Sinking Ship and a Broken Axe.

It was said that back then, a villain from the Western Barbarians with infinite strength particularly enjoyed traveling along the border with a bunch of guys in a flying ship stolen from Dongqi.

Whenever he saw other flying ships passing by, this person would strip naked, wield a broken axe, and approach with the tribe’s youngsters, then jump aboard amidst the horror of East Continent cultivators.

To the cheers of the youngsters, he would use the broken axe to kill everyone, then sink the flying ship and jump back onto his own before its destruction.

Due to secretive actions and leaving no survivors, no one to this day knows who the bare-bottom barbarian was.

Although Xiao Teng did not know why his father had told these two stories at the time, he found answers from them now, feeling a hint of so-called fate.

"If I kill everyone, no one will know me."

"If I can become the Heavenly Destiny Person, find the Human Emperor’s legacy, I can toy with the river of time, erasing the past."

"Ultimately, I just lack strength; if I were strong enough, who in the world would dare mock me?"

"Only Sinking Ship and Broken Axe!"

"Soon I’ll kill you all!"

Perhaps it’s fate, as Xiao Teng self-hypnotized and figured out the key, he felt a clarity close to the state his father spoke of.

His formerly weak self had died, now reborn as a new Xiao Teng.

"Fortune and misfortune, all things perish... Father, I understand, I understand..."

"Dismiss all external influences, creating your own world, to acquire destiny, to acquire destiny..."

In a continuous loop of thought, Xiao Teng only felt that, at this moment...

He could be called invincible.

...

Due to the absence of the Human Emperor, the river of time wasn’t blocked, so this inevitably notorious duel began regardless.

The martial arts arena was packed full, but there were only men, all maintaining silence.

Zhang Ze, yet to take the stage, hesitated, turning to see Tang, "Let’s be straight, can’t we skip the process and suppress this person right here? I find it a bit embarrassing."

"Let’s go through the process, otherwise your Sect Leader won’t be able to act easily, sacrifice a little for the peace of the Four Continents." Tang reassured, signaling Zhang Ze to hurry onto the stage.

Zhang Ze took a few steps but turned back to Tang, "Tell Chen Qin and the others not to hurt Lily too badly, after all, it wasn’t intentional." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"No worries, no worries, Xiaoxue and Fuji are over there, they’ll handle it well."

Over at Spirit Deer Valley.

Lily was tied up by Fuji and hung from a tree, writing a self-reflection letter begrudgingly.

Promising that before she plays pranks again, she will think it through, especially strictly assessing the psychological state of the prank target.

To prevent permanent psychological trauma to the target and negative influence to others.

"Sigh, the fun was ruined by you, we can’t go to the scene to watch the show." Chen Qin sat aside sulking.

Hearing this, Lily murmured quietly, "Isn’t there still some fun now..."

Xiaoxue shook her head, signaling Fuji to tighten the tentacles before pulling Li Yueqi along to continue the paused women’s doubles.

...

In the martial arts arena.

Reluctantly, Zhang Ze climbed the stage and reluctantly looked at Xiao Teng, the man who single-handedly silenced the Qinghe Association.

At this moment, Xiao Teng stood there naked, completely exposed.

Without a shred of cloth, he stood in the fierce winds.

Yet, his face bore no shame or anger, instead, he saw everyone as nothing, as if he alone was the sole strong figure in the world.

In a certain sense, he indeed reached a state of unity of heaven and man.

Very perfect, yet very twisted.

Seeing Zhang Ze ascend, Xiao Teng raised his chin, arrogantly looking down at Zhang Ze.
