C514 Half-step Big He Could!
After hearing Gu Yuanhua's explanation, Lin Cheng was both surprised and enlightened.
No wonder the Myriad Sword Sect didn't continue to attack after eliminating most of the experts of the Longevity Sect. It turned out that the experts of the Longevity Sect were fighting with their lives on the line, and they had also killed the experts of the Myriad Sword Sect.
Although Lin Cheng was still puzzled, he had no idea how many experts of the Myriad Sword Sect had died. Why did it seem like the Myriad Sword Sect was frightened by the Longevity Sect, or perhaps they didn't want to lose any more experts? Furthermore, seeing that the Longevity Sect was on the brink of death, they wouldn't stir up any more trouble. Therefore, they let the Longevity Sect go, and didn't continue to kill them.
This was perhaps the only explanation. Otherwise... If Lin Cheng was the Sect Master of Myriad Sword Sect, he would never allow the Longevity Sect to continue existing. Even if there was a Divine Ability Stage warrior like Gu Yuanhua in the Longevity Sect, Lin Cheng had countless ways to kill him. He would completely erase the traces of the Longevity Sect's existence.
After all, there was more than one Divine Ability Stage warrior in the Myriad Sword Sect. No matter how strong Gu Yuanhua was, it would be very difficult for him to defend himself from the attacks of several Expert of Divine Ability Stages.
As for the other disciples of the Longevity Sect, they couldn't help Gu Yuanhua at all. Once the disciples of the Myriad Sword Sect attacked again, Gu Yuanhua could only fight alone.
Therefore, the only explanation was that the Myriad Sword Sect might really be worried that Gu Yuanhua would be trapped in a fight. They might even drag one or two experts of Myriad Sword Sect down with them. This might not be worth it in the eyes of Myriad Sword Sect. That was why they didn't continue to attack the Longevity Sect.
However, Lin Cheng thought about it carefully and felt that something wasn't right. If the Myriad Sword Sect was really so cautious, then they wouldn't have dared to plot against the Longevity Sect. One should know that at that time, the Longevity Sect was filled with experts. Even if there were people from the inner circle of the Longevity Sect working together, but if there were any errors... All of them would definitely attract the frenzied counterattack of the Longevity Sect's experts.
At that time, the Myriad Sword Sect would definitely suffer even more casualties.
Therefore, Lin Cheng was almost certain that the Myriad Sword Sect must have predicted this situation before they attacked the Longevity Sect. In fact, it was very likely that they had already prepared to sacrifice a lot of Expert of Divine Ability Stage.
Because of this, Lin Cheng found it hard to believe that the Myriad Sword Sect would restrain themselves because they were worried that another powerful expert would fall. However, Lin Cheng had no choice but to believe that this was the truth.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel curious about the two experts of the Longevity Sect. How powerful were the two of them? Which few experts of the Myriad Sword Sect had they killed? They were the ones who could scare the arrogant and overbearing Myriad Sword Sect to such an extent!
Especially, according to what Gu Yuanhua said, those two experts had already reached the point where they had run out of oil. At this stage, it was true that the experts still had combat strength. However, this was only the last battle. What could they do to scare the Myriad Sword Sect?
Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master, the two senior experts you mentioned, are they very strong?"
"Very strong!"
Without any hesitation, Gu Yuanhua nodded his head and said, "One of the seniors is only a step away from breaking through to the half-step Almighty realm!"
"Half-step Almighty?"
Lin Cheng was shocked. This was the first time he had heard this name, but he knew that anyone who was related to the word 'Almighty' was no ordinary person.
"That's right, a Half-step Almighty!"
Gu Yuanhua nodded and said, "Those two seniors have already cultivated for nearly a thousand years. They are only a step away from becoming a half-step supreme elder!"
Lin Cheng couldn't be bothered to be surprised. He couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master, this half-step supreme expert..."
"The so-called half-step Supreme Elder is actually just a general term. When an expert exceeds the Divine Ability Stage but has yet to become a Supreme Elder, he will be called a half-step Supreme Elder at this stage!"
Gu Yuanhua knew that Lin Cheng didn't have much experience in cultivation, so he wasn't surprised by Lin Cheng's question. "Even if he is only a half-step Almighty, he can destroy the Expert of Divine Ability Stage with a flick of his finger. This isn't much harder than crushing an ant to death."
Lin Cheng was shocked.
He had already experienced how powerful the Expert of Divine Ability Stage's combat strength was. The outstanding ones among them were just like the Second Elder of Unification Sect, Qin Yuan. Even if Lin Cheng had the Monarch Spear and other treasures, it would be very difficult for him to escape unscathed. It was imaginable how terrifying those peak grade Expert of Divine Ability Stage were.
However, such a terrifying expert was not much stronger than an ant in front of a half-step Supreme Elder. This was truly shocking!
As for the fact that the Longevity Sect actually had two half-step Supreme Elders, Lin Cheng didn't feel much shock. Because he noticed that Gu Yuanhua had said that the two half-step supreme experts had cultivated for nearly a thousand years. Such a long period of time, coupled with the abundant resources of the Longevity Sect that would make anyone jealous... As long as it wasn't because their talent was too poor, their achievements would be terrifying to the extreme.
As for the Longevity Sect, they had gathered a lot of geniuses from the Dongzhou. Naturally, the talent of these geniuses wasn't bad. It wasn't surprising for one or two monstrous geniuses to appear among them.
However, what Gu Yuanhua said next shocked Lin Cheng once again.
Gu Yuanhua said, "Those two seniors knew that their lifespan wasn't long, so they immediately attacked the Myriad Sword Sect. First, they killed several Expert of Divine Ability Stages of the Myriad Sword Sect, including an elder of the Myriad Sword Sect. After that, they forced the few half-step supreme elders of the Myriad Sword Sect to come out. In the end, each of them dragged a half-step mighty warrior to perish together with them!"
"After this battle, the foundation of the Myriad Sword Sect has been severely damaged. At the same time, the other two seniors didn't make a move, but hid their tracks. This has become an extremely powerful deterrent to the Myriad Sword Sect, forcing the Myriad Sword Sect to stop attacking the Longevity Sect."0
"Because of this, my sect was able to survive with my last breath."
Gu Yuanhua's voice became very deep, and his words were filled with pain.
At this moment, Lin Cheng couldn't help but be shocked once more. "Sect Master, you mean to say that there are still two half-step supreme experts in our sect?"
Gu Yuanhua nodded. "That's right! These two seniors didn't attack the Myriad Sword Sect. Instead, they hid their tracks. However, the more this happened, the more afraid the Myriad Sword Sect was to act recklessly. Otherwise, what they would have to face would be the craziest revenge of these two half-step supreme elders. Perhaps more than half of the experts of the Myriad Sword Sect would be killed. Or perhaps, some of the slumbering experts of the Myriad Sword Sect were dragged along with them."
After saying that, he sneered, "Currently, there is nothing that our Longevity Sect cannot lose, and there is nothing worth taking away from us. However, the Myriad Sword Sect still has thousands of years of foundation. There are some slumbering experts and a large number of genius disciples. The Longevity Sect can afford to bet, but they don't dare! "
Lin Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this. The Longevity Sect actually had a total of four half-step supreme elders. This kind of deep foundation really made him suck in a breath of cold air!
Two half-step supreme elders went straight to their doorstep to demonstrate their strength. This allowed the Myriad Sword Sect to witness their terrifying power and determination.
As for the other two half-step supreme elders, they didn't even show their faces, but they still had an extremely powerful deterrent force. This was even more terrifying than fighting the Myriad Sword Sect with their lives on the line.
No matter how strong the experts who went to the door were, it would only be a big battle. No matter how great the loss was, as long as they could completely resolve the threat, it would be worth it.
However, it was these experts who were hiding in the dark that made people feel uneasy. This was because no one knew when those two half-step mighty experts would attack, and no one knew who their target was!
Just like what Gu Yuanhua had said, if they attacked the Expert of Divine Ability Stage of the Myriad Sword Sect... Most of the experts of the Myriad Sword Sect might not even be enough for them to kill. If they were to drag the slumbering experts of the Myriad Sword Sect down with them, it would be a serious blow to the Myriad Sword Sect.
Faced with such a huge price, the Myriad Sword Sect did not dare to take the risk, nor did they dare to take the risk!
At this moment, Lin Cheng finally understood why the Myriad Sword Sect suddenly stopped attacking despite the fact that they were so close to killing the Longevity Sect with just a single strike.
Lin Cheng finally understood, and the doubts in his heart were answered.
However, Zou Qingqi's face was filled with shock at this moment. This was the first time she had heard of such a thing. She couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master, why have I never heard of these things? If all the disciples of our sect knew about this, there wouldn't be so many people fleeing in panic. Why would the Longevity Sect fall to this stage? ! "
" How long will it take for those two seniors to protect the Longevity Sect? "
Gu Yuanhua did not answer, but asked a question instead. He saw that Zou Qingqi did not know how to answer. He said in a deep voice, "Our sect has encountered a great crisis. This is the truth. Those who left during this critical moment weren't our true disciples. Even if they stayed, they were still thinking about themselves. Not the sect.
Furthermore, the sect's resources were running low, and they could not support so many people. We can't keep those who want to leave, and those who want to stay... Even if we chase them away, I'm afraid we won't be able to chase them away. They are the true disciples of our sect, and they are also the backbone of our sect in the future! "
Zou Qingqi opened her mouth but did not know what to say.
Lin Cheng, who was listening by the side, could not help but nod secretly. He knew what Gu Yuanhua said was right. Perhaps the reason why those disciples left was because the Longevity Sect had declined. However, how could those disciples who were in a hurry to leave when they saw the decline of their sect be considered disciples who were truly loyal to their sect?
Even if these people knew that there were still powerful experts in their sect, they would only be wasting their resources if they were forced to stay. When they encountered another huge crisis, they would still escape.
Rather than training them until that time to see their betrayal, it was better to let them leave early on.
"Moreover, those two seniors actually don't have much lifespan left." Gu Yuanhua sighed and said.
