Chapter 1711: You’re Not Worthy

Lin Huang saw Witch’s attack, but he did not stop her.

Clearly, apart from him and his group of imperial monsters, the remaining Lords did not notice Witch’s trick.

Lin Huang only spoke with a light smile on his face when he saw that Witch had enchanted Shen Jue without him noticing at all.

“Sword 1 is my Sword Alliance’s vice chief. It was me who decided the entrance sequence he mentioned earlier. To me, everyone in the God Territory is of the same kind. There’s no difference in status among the grade-7 organizations. The entrance sequence has nothing to do with the strength of the organization at all. However, there must be a sequence for the entrance after all. Therefore, to be fair, I decided that those who arrive first will enter first, while those who arrive later, will enter later.”

“Can it be that God King Jue thinks that God Capital is in a higher position compared to the other grade-7 organizations? And that everyone should wait at the door until your God Capital has entered before they do?”

Although the few of them from God Capital secretly thought that, they dared not nod in agreement under such circumstances.

Shen Jue wanted to go on and make a scene shamelessly. He wanted to humiliate Lin Huang.

However, he realized that he could no longer speak when he was about to open his mouth.

‘What’s happening?!’ He panicked at that moment.

Not only could he not speak, he realized that he could not even move his fingers at all. It was as if his body had been taken over by something unknown. He had lost control of it entirely.

Shen Tu was waiting for Shen Jue to continue making a scene. However, seeing that he stood where he was and said nothing, he could not help but take over the topic while feeling confused.

“You’re overthinking it, Chief Lin. God King Jue has always been straightforward. He doesn’t mean anything ill by his words. The entrance sequence doesn’t make a difference. Our God Capital isn’t particular over such things.”

At that moment, Shen Lu who was standing on the side started to stir up trouble.

“This humble one is Shen Lu, a saber cultivator. I heard that Chief Lin is a sword cultivator powerhouse. I’ve been itching for an opportunity to spar with you. I’ve finally met you today. My Saber Heart is trembling from seeing you. I can no longer hold back my desire to spar with you. I hope that Chief Lin can enlighten me!”

“What are you doing, Shen Lu?! Didn’t I tell you repeatedly before coming that you can’t raise such a ridiculous request on such an occasion?!” Shen Tu stopped him immediately.

However, people who were wise could tell from a glance that the two of them were just acting out a play.

To outsiders, Shen Lu had indeed always been a reckless man who loved challenges. However, on such an occasion, it was ridiculous to assume that he had made such a challenge request without Shen Tu’s permission.

The crowd present knew that the few of them from God Capital must have discussed this before coming. They were here to stir up trouble.

“It’s just a spar between a saber cultivator and sword cultivator. How can that be considered an unreasonable request?” Shen Lu continued acting like a stubborn saber fanatic. “I believe that, as a sword cultivator, Chief Lin should be excited to spar and exchange moves with a powerful saber cultivator, right? After all, there are not many pure sword cultivators and saber cultivators in this great world.”

Lin Huang watched the scene play out in silence.

He had zero interest in Shen Lu.

He was even thinking to himself. ‘Powerful saber cultivator? Are you talking about yourself? You sure are boastful.’

The crowd watching said nothing as well. Apart from the few of them from Death Sickle who were worried about Lin Huang, the rest were waiting to see how Lin Huang was going to handle this crisis.

In reality, things would be awkward regardless of whether he took Shen Lu’s challenge or not.

It would be embarrassing even if he defeated Shen Lu.

When faced with such a situation, Lin Huang should not fight personally.

If there were other Lords in the Sword Alliance, they could take the initiative to accept the challenge on his behalf. It would not even matter who won.

However, as people looked around, there were many ninth-rank Heavenly Gods, close to 400 of them, but Lin Huang was the only one who had the aura of a Lord.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Huang would be forced to fight, a figure walked out.

It was a man covered in a black armor. A faint black mist lingered on his body.

“You’re not worthy of challenging the Swordmaster.”

As soon as he was done speaking, Lancelot’s aura skyrocketed, revealing his lord-level cultivation directly.

“I’ll fight in his stead!”

The many Lords present were taken aback. The intensity of the aura meant that this person was at least a middle-rank Lord.

Almost everyone had the same thought flashing through their heads—There was such an expert hiding in the Sword Alliance?!

Shen Tu could not help but frown. He did not expect a variable like Lancelot to appear.

He initially thought that, apart from Lin Huang, everyone else’s aura was at heavenly god-level. When he got here, he thought that he would definitely succeed in stepping on the Sword Alliance to advance God Capital’s status.

Never had he thought that someone from the Sword Alliance’s camp had hidden his cultivation base.

Shen Lu’s face was slightly pale. He was just a lower-rank Lord. Judging by the aura of his opponent, he knew that he was not Lancelot’s match.

However, seeing that Lancelot had taken his sword out, he could only bite the bullet.

Lin Huang suddenly spoke when the two of them were about to fight.

“Be gentle. Don’t kill him.”

Lancelot paused slightly.

Shen Lu’s eyes lit up. He did not expect the opponent to reveal such a flaw.

The saber gleam turned into a silver glow, flashing through the air at its highest speed.

However, the black-armored man before him vanished the next second.

“You’re too slow.”

A deep voice came from behind him.

Shen Lu had only felt a pain coming from his chest.

He lowered his head to look. There was a wound the size of a fist in the middle of his chest. He had no idea how or when it happened. It penetrated through his back.

The attack would have crushed his heart directly if it was even a few centimeters off target.

Shen Lu was stunned momentarily when he noticed that the wound on his chest was not recovering. He then abruptly realized that the attack from his opponent had drained all of the Divine Power and Odyl from his body.

“Are you alright?” Shen Tu seemed to have sensed something off. He flashed and arrived next to Shen Lu, supporting his unstable body.

“I’m fine. He held back.” Shen Lu shook his head. He was already drenched in cold sweat.

If the attack earlier had hit his vital points, it would have easily taken his life. However, his opponent calculated the attack perfectly. He merely drained the Divine Power and Odyl in his body and stopped instantly after that.

Shen Tu saw what happened to Shen Lu’s chest when he examined the wound from close distance. He instantly realized what had happened. He glanced at Lancelot in fear.

Lancelot said nothing and walked straight back to his seat as if what had happened just now had nothing to do with him at all.

Fright flashed through the eyes of the Lords in their seats.

The reason was that none of them had seen the trajectory of Lancelot’s sword clearly.

It also meant that that sword alone could severely injure all of the Lords present.

‘What’s the background of this sword cultivator from the Sword Alliance exactly?!’

Almost everyone present had the same doubts in their minds.
