Chapter 1212 - 1212: Life and Death Sword Heart Holder

"The name of Venerable Ren Hui, we've already heard of it like thunder!"

"My respects, my respects!"

Even the Daoist Venerable on that ship offered his hand to greet the Supreme Being whose realm was lower than his own.

"Venerable Ren Hui, it's a pleasure, a pleasure!"

On Brother Cheng's side, however, the young man in black clothes arrogantly raised his chin.

He gave a nonchalant nod.

Then, he glanced sideways at Jiang Cheng on the same boat to gauge his reaction.

Brother Cheng didn't react much.

It's not like he didn't have the Life and Death Sword Heart himself.

He was slightly surprised, but not surprised that Venerable Ren Hui had the Life and Death Sword Heart.

Rather, he was surprised at how renowned this guy actually was.

His realm was just Supreme, yet he could thrive in the Celestial Palace with just the Life and Death Sword Heart?

Meanwhile, his somewhat calm demeanor made Venerable Ren Hui very displeased.

What are you pretending for?

Didn't you hear that I have the Life and Death Sword Heart?

The only one in the Celestial Palace who's comprehended the Life and Death Sword Heart, do you know what that means?

And that's all the reaction you give?

Hurry up and be shocked, so shocked that you're thrown off your feet and bow repeatedly!

However, regrettably, he would never wait for that scene.

"Venerable Ren Hui, we have a humble request."

The only Daoist Venerable across on the other ship approached the young man in black with a wide grin, extending his hand again.

"Would you consider joining our side?"

At these words, the other six people there all became excited.

This was tremendously significant.

Those who entered the Celestial Dao Sword Sea for training had earned the Emperor Sword Talisman through immense struggle and chance, none wanting to exit prematurely.

But it's not up to them.

Once the leaf got too many holes, if the 'boat' got too damaged, they couldn't stay even if they didn't want to leave.

Prior to this, they had encountered the Life and Death Sword Heart five times, resulting in five small holes on the leaf.

If Venerable Ren Hui joined, encountering the Life and Death Sword Heart later posed no danger.

Their team could keep training, no longer worrying about leaf damage.

"The arrival of Venerable Ren Hui truly makes us shine!"

"We are honored indeed!"

"Welcome, Venerable Ren Hui!"

"As long as you come over, you'll be our leader, we'll listen to your every command!"

"Yeah, even I will listen to you!"

Being the sole possessor of the Life and Death Sword Heart in the Celestial Palace, it's the most precious treasure in the Celestial Dao Sword Sea.

Of course, Venerable Ren Hui wouldn't join them.

Because his master 'Ling' was sitting at the bow of their ship.

Facing everyone's enthusiastic invitation, he didn't immediately reject it, but deliberately glanced at Jiang Cheng.

Well, see my greatness now?

Do you realize now that all this time you've been on the same boat with someone of such a level?

Aren't you getting excited and looking up in awe yet?

He's bound to be disappointed.

Brother Cheng didn't even look at him, instead inquiries enthusiastically to the opposite side.

"Is the Life and Death Sword Heart really this sought after?"

This brother's business mind kicked into gear rapidly, asking eagerly, "If someone has the Life and Death Sword Heart, is there an extra fee for teaming up with you?"

Unfortunately, those people didn't recognize him, nor did they pay much attention to him.

"Venerable Ren Hui, who are these two?"

"Being able to share a ship with you, they're really lucky."

"Yes, two unknown people got the favor from Venerable Ren Hui, it's practically a great fortune!"

This kind of talk made Venerable Ren Hui's face change.

He hurriedly shook his hand dismissively.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

He hadn't introduced Ling's identity to these people.

And Ling didn't seem interested in speaking with them either.

But it was different with Sect Leader Jiang.

Venerable Ren Hui deliberately pointed at Jiang Cheng, grinning insincerely, "He boarded midway, he's quite remarkable, claiming he'd protect us this journey."

He purposely said this to make Brother Cheng look bad.

The group opposite exchanged puzzled glances, then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha…"

"Protect Venerable Ren Hui?"

"Where did this guy come from, so unaware of himself?"

"Venerable Ren Hui has the Life and Death Sword Heart; forming any group, he's the core of it. Who's qualified to protect him?"

"Never seen such a self-overrating person, truly ignorant and fearless!"

They dared to ridicule Brother Cheng because they detected Venerable Ren Hui's sarcasm.

Anyway, deep down they found it ludicrous too.

So happily they chimed in, to curry favor.

"When did I say I'd protect you?"

Brother Cheng had to step up, interrupting their casting rhythm.

"Just to correct, what I said was I'd protect the beautiful Ling, you're just incidental."

The previously proud and amused Venerable Ren Hui instantly turned beet-red.

He was so embarrassed, he couldn't bear it at all.

He glared at Jiang Cheng, shouting harshly, "What do you mean?"

Brother Cheng glanced at him, speaking lightly, "No special meaning, just reminding you not to be self-delusional, and not to pretend to be more than you are."

"You!"

Pfft!

Ling directly burst into laughter.

Her laughter caused Venerable Ren Hui, who originally planned to retort angrily, to swallow back his words and quiet down.

However, the group opposite didn't catch the subtleties of this situation.

They immediately jumped out to stand up for Venerable Ren Hui.

"Kid, what're you saying?"

"Daring to speak like that to Venerable Ren Hui? Who do you think you are?"

"Show some due respect to the possessor of the Life and Death Sword Heart, such should be a sword cultivator's demeanor!"

"Do you even understand the Life and Death Sword Heart?"

"Certainly this kid is an idiot, completely unaware of its significance..."

While they were scolding, the sky darkened once again.

The black rain appeared over Brother Cheng's trio, indicating it targeted them.

This wave of black rain was yet to fall when everyone's faces changed.

Because they had already sensed a mix of the aura of life and death.

The seven people opposite shouted in alarm.

"Life and Death Sword Heart!"

"These clouds hold raindrops with the Life and Death Sword Heart!"

Other raindrops are unknown until touched, but only the Life and Death Sword Heart is an exception.

This unique supreme sword heart emits a strong, unmistakable mix of life and death aura even before its actual display!

"Danger!"

"What danger, with Venerable Ren Hui there across!"

"Exactly! The time for Venerable Ren Hui's performance has arrived!"

Although this rain didn't affect their ship, the seven were still thrilled.

They hadn't seen an occasion where Life and Death Sword Heart raindrops were broken, they were eagerly anticipating it.

Venerable Ren Hui nearly found himself in tears of excitement.

Finally here!

At last, it's here!

He had long awaited a Life and Death Sword Heart, and finally got his exclusive performance stage!

Yet when this moment arrived, he intentionally held onto his sword with no intention to act.

Instead, he looked mockingly at Jiang Cheng.

"Aren't you great, didn't you say you'd protect us?"

"Why don't you step up, then?"
