Hearing that, Wen Cangtian was instantly shocked. “You are from the Yin Poison Society?”
“I have been undercover in the Sword Whisper Manor for 30 years, simply waiting for this moment. I have already sent the message back to the Yin Poison Society. Within the hour, the master will be bringing a team of highly skilled fighters to completely destroy the Sword Whisper Manor and take the Spirit Plucking Tool. The Sword Whisper Manor will no longer be of existence in the Tianwu Kingdom.” The sword slave smiled.
“Sword slave, I can’t believe you have been an undercover spy in the Sword Whisper Manor. I shall get rid of you on behalf of the manor!”
One of the sword protectors immediately took out the sword stabbed into the ground, and, with a wave of his arm, wild winds rose and a golden light blade shot towards the sword slave.
However, the sword slave did not move a muscle. With his hand enshrouded with golden energy, he sent out a punch which pierced through the light blade and landed directly on the chest of the sword protector. The powerful force of the attack sent the sword protector into the sword river, activating the Million Ancestral Swords formation as a million swords stabbed through him, turning him into a pile of blood and flesh.
“How naïve to overestimate yourself. The three of you should know my strength. I’m an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighter while all of you are only in the Sixth Realm. Also, you two old geezers, considering all the time that I’ve spent with you two, on the account of sentimental value, if you two kill Wen Cangtian now and pledge allegiance to the Yin Poison Society, I will consider sparing your lives.” The sword slave’s smile turned sinister.
“I won’t allow you to hurt the sword protector elders!” Yun Chuchu immediately brandished the Devil Firecloud Sword, blocking the sword protectors as she said, “You big scoundrel!”
Holding the Devil Firecloud Sword with both hands, a hint of stubbornness could be seen on her gentle face. At that moment, Ye Mo’s heart almost twitched, and he experienced a throbbing feeling in his chest.
“Haha, not even a fly in the Sword Whisper Manor will be spared today!”
The moment he finished speaking, the sword slave felt a sharp pain in his chest as he took multiple steps back. He looked at the sneak attacker and was filled with shock.
“It’s you?”
The sword slave was extremely surprised. That attack was extremely fast, catching him off guard. Was that a speed achievable by an Energy Shaping Second Realm fighter?
“Before you get to kill Chuchu or anybody from the Sword Whisper Manor, you’ll have to seek permission from the Dragon Spear in my hand!”
Ye Mo generated a Dragon Spear and stared coldly at the sword slave, his expression solemn. His opponent was an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighter. While he had killed a Seventh Realm fighter before, that was a sneak attack. This time, he was officially facing an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighter in battle.
“Energy Shaping and a Dragon Spear no less. What technique are you training, to be able to generate a dragon shape? Kid, don’t tell me, you think you are able to kill me? I’ve been in the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm for so many years – my powers have already reached the peak of the realm. It is impossible for you to defeat me,” said the sword slave.
“Master Wen, how long do you need to recover?” Ye Mo turned around and asked.
“This cultivating failure led to the weapon spirit rejecting the combination process. It will take me at least an hour to recover,” said Wen Cangtian.
“Kid? Are you trying to buy time?” The sword slave laughed mockingly as he continued saying, “The master will be leading a group of highly skilled fighters from the Yin Poison Society here in an hour. So what if Wen Cangtian can recover his power? His body has been infected with ice flame poison – he won’t be able to fight the master, who is in the True Energy Realm.”
“I was actually thinking about how I should kill you before Master Wen recovers!” mocked Ye Mo.
“You are asking for death!” The sword slave roared loudly, and as he opened his palm, the magical weapon stabbed into the ground was sucked in his hand. The golden sword aura started to rumble. “Ten Ancestral Swords!”
The golden sword aura shone on the whole sword pool like a blazing sun as some of the weapons stuck into the ground started to tremble. Suddenly, 10 swords appeared, forming into the shape of a fan and beginning to flap towards Ye Mo. A countless number of swords fanned out in the air. This was a powerful sword aura, with every blade sharp and threatening!
“How is this possible? The sword slave has mastered the Sword Whisper Manor’s Ten Ancestral Swords!”
“Haha, the Sword Whisper Manor should have perished long ago, allowing an outsider to learn your generational technique!”
Facing this threatening attack, Ye Mo was unmoved. The Dragon Spear in his hand started to rumble, sending out multiple spear strikes, erupting and forming a giant hill. The fan-shaped sword aura was completely obliterated by the giant hill, turning into nothingness.
Even though Ye Mo successfully blocked an attack from an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighter, he was still pretty badly injured. He finally witnessed the true power of the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm. Besides the realm differences, there was a definite gap in terms of strength.
It was only then when Ye Mo finally realized how lucky he was to be able to sneak attack Du Fei and kill him off.
Furthermore, Ye Mo had combined the purple flame spiritual powers with his Giant Dragon Powers. Had he not, he would not have been able to block the attack.
A stream of blood flowed down from the corner of Ye Mo’s mouth. After the Dragon Spear pierced through the sword aura, he tore apart his opposition’s offense in one go, directly stabbing towards the sword slave’s Energy Center.
“Good kid!”
With a loud roar, the whole of the sword slave’s body started to tremble as a layer of golden substance started to form on the surface of his body and envelop him. Ye Mo’s Dragon Spear also stabbed into his Energy Center.
Dang!
Ye Mo only felt his long spear stabbing against a metal wall. The two of them took a few steps back simultaneously. Had it not been Yun Chuchu who rushed over to help him, Ye Mo would have been kneeling on the ground.
Watching on, the two sword protectors had astonished looks on their faces – a clash between an Energy Shaping Second Realm fighter and Seventh Realm fighter ended up in a tie?
Wen Cangtian was also hugely surprised. He had been underestimating Ye Mo ever since he stepped into the Sword Whisper Manor, including when he brought him to the Sword Cleansing Cave. This youngster in front of him was indeed something else.
“Ye Mo, how are you feeling? Let’s deal with them together!” Yun Chuchu said worriedly.
Ye Mo stood up and said something into Yun Chuchu’s ear. She nodded her head and said, “Ye Mo, I understand!”
“Haha, let us kill this Energy Shaping Seventh Realm undercover spy and let him know the strength of the Qingyun League!” Ye Mo laughed loudly.
“Alright!”
As she spoke, she displayed her Firecloud Sword Aura again as countless numbers of firecloud emerged from the Devil Firecloud Sword, engulfing the whole Sword Cleansing Cave in it.
“A sword aura?”
Despite seeing himself engulfed by the endless fireclouds, the sword slave did not panic and remained rooted to the ground unmoved. He smiled. “This illusion is useless against me. Any attack will produce energy waves, and so what if you do hit me with your attacks? Can you break through my Energy Shield? After an hour, the Sword Whisper Manor will be completely destroyed!”
Watching the fireclouds fill the cave, Wen Cangtian was initially shocked, but then shook his head, saying, “This type of Firecloud Sword Aura is completely useless against an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighter! What exactly is Ye Mo planning?”
If you were in the same realm as your opponent, displaying this type of sword aura meant that you could definitely sneak up on him and instantly kill him off. However, the sword slave was in the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm – he would be able to feel every single move you make.
Furthermore, he had already reached the peak of the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm. Even for Seventh Realm fighters, not all of them would be able to break his Energy Shield.
“Kill you? I don’t need to break your Energy Shield to do that!”
A silent attack directly pierced into the sword slave’s chest. His expression finally changed upon feeling the impact of the attack.
