147 - Please Be Reborn With Less Greed in Your Hearts
Li Xiao Yang knew that well-trained assassins were taught to never speak, and only idiots or those asking to die would dare converse with the target of their assassination. However, he was attempting to delay the man--perhaps if lucky, find something about him that would allow Li Xiao Yang to determine his identity.
‘Was it an enemy of Father? Someone with a vendetta with the clan? Someone from the sect? An outsider? I need to find out who you are. If you are not going to speak, then I must subdue you!’
“Let me give you a taste of the Mountain Breaking Sword Arts!” Li Xiao Yang exclaimed.
Qi containing the earth element flowed out from his body, increasing not only the strength but also the weight of his sword at
148 - Debt Repaid with BloodAfter making sure that neither Protector Li Xiao Yang nor Elder Li Yun Tian were breathing anymore, Ye Hua found that something inside him felt hollow. There was no relief, and there was no happiness either. In fact, it did not seem to make him feel anything.He could only shake his head as he idly wondered why the winter air was unbelievably cold this season. He shook off the blood from the blade of his sword before putting it back in his waist scabbard. He also collected the poisoned daggers he threw while he turned over the furniture inside the room, trying to make it look like there was a hard struggle inside.With a sway of his hand, Ye Hua then wrapped the two still-warm bodies with his qi and put them inside his spatial pouch. Since they were technically corpses now, they were no longer c
149 - The Dilemma of the Rebound Effect (1)“Ye Patriarch, Number One, how is it? Can we escape from this formation?”Princess Qing Chuntao asked, but the two strongest cultivators within the banquet hall could only shake their heads with exasperation. It could be seen that their clothes were partially tattered after receiving a direct hit, yet these two men were the top powerhouses among the group of cultivators, and it was impossible for anyone else to attack them.Number One was the Purple Plumed General’s subordinate at the third stage of the Nascent Divinity Realm. the Divine Ascension Stage. On the other hand, Patriarch Ye Wuqing was at the peak of the second stage, the Divine Profound Stage. Everyone else within the hall aside from the princess was in the early or mid stages of the Divine Awak
150 - The Dilemma of the Rebound Effect (2)“How about reverse engineering the runes?” the City Lord asked.The Ninth Elder peered into the formation before shaking his head. “I’m afraid this Tong’s knowledge is lacking for such a high level practice. Unraveling a formation already falls in the area of study of array masters.”“Since it’s a formation, we just have to remove the eye, right? Shouldn’t it be a formation flag or an artifact planted in a chosen area? If we find the eye and destroy it, the rune array will naturally dissipate. ”“That is generally true for low-level formations,” the Ninth Elder explained. “The problem is that what we are facing is the highest level of formation, a colorless t
151 - First Movement of the Song of the Autumn Sword Makes an Appearance“Senior Sister?” Qing Chuntao prodded when Zhi Ruo failed to answer her question.LIke the other Nascent Divinity cultivators watching Ye Mo, Zhi Ruo was mesmerized by his sword technique practice and didn’t realize her younger cousin had approached her.“Junior Sister, what do you think of Elder Ye’s sword?” Zhi Ruo could not help but ask. Although deep within her bones, she felt like it was an anomalous sword technique, there was hesitation in her heart due to the dissonance that it gave her.Qing Chuntao thought that Zhi Ruo was giving her cultivation guidance, thus, she was quite cooperative. She strained her eyes trying to understand Ye Mo&rsq
152 - You Think You Can Sweet Talk Yourself Out of This? (1)Perhaps it was due to the counter being done subconsciously, but the moment Ye Mo swung his bamboo sword, Tong Fu’s fist attack dissipated like the wind. People expected Ye Mo to cut a sorry figure, but there was not even a hint of exertion on his face.“What happened?”“Are my eyes playing tricks on me?”“What is that attack?”“Isn’t that the same sword movement Tenth Elder has been repeatedly practicing?”The onlookers were confused, more so Tong Fu who initiated that sudden attack. Although he did not even put eighty percent of his strength in that attack, it w
153 - The Older the Ginger, the Spicier It Gets“What do you mean my sincerity is not enough, Princess Zhi?” Tong Fu said with a bland tone.“Wanting to steal a chicken, but instead losing the bait (1). You expect us to let you go by handing us the bait? What of your apology?”The Leaf City’s City Lord looked expressionless on the surface, but anyone could guess how humiliated he must be feeling. He was a man of high prestige, yet someone younger–and a woman at that–blatantly insulted him. He was a man with a temper, and many of those in the crowd were aware of this. The top echelon of Leaf City knew that Tong Fu was an old-fashioned man, and although he was not a corrupt official, he was someone petty who valued his reputation greatly.
154 - Mantis Tries to Stop a Carriage (1)“A sword that swallows everything in its path?!”“Can such a miraculous sword technique really exist?”“I wonder what grade it is?”Ye Mo’s claim caused the hearts of many cultivators to palpitate, and though some showed signs of awe and envy, many did not harbor greed at this point. As leaders of their factions and heads of their families, what they were most concerned about was the safety of their younger generation. One had to remember that for this banquet, many of the guests were the top elites and geniuses painstakingly nurtured by their respective factions. If these younger generation cultivators were to be annihilated, it would be the same as dooming the future of the Righteous Path
155 - Mantis Tries to Stop a Carriage (2)With Patriarch Ye Wuqing and the Purple Plumed General playing the roles as guarantors, the choice to be made was evident. Every representative agreed to continue struggling despite the terrible odds.“I will help you, Tenth Elder!”“So will I!”“Count me in as well!”Although some of the leaders pretended to play dumb and offered small treasures as mere tokens to goodwill, a majority of the those present did offer whatever they had in hand just to increase the chance of them escaping the rune array sooner.Beggars can’t be choosers, and they were already pretty desperate to leave and save their disciples
