Chapter 233: Never Would Have Expected
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The middle of a field within a forest, traces of a fight could be seen.
A sturdy middle-aged man stood there, dressed in a robe and a cloak, with green-colored True Energy Beams emanating from his body. Wherever he stepped, flowers and plants would wither.
Next to him laid the corpses of three people!
“Didn’t Fei’er say that the heist was a success? What’s going on? Who did this?”
The middle-aged man was furious. He only had one son but now he was dead.
“Society Master, could the Sword Whisper Manor be under the protection of some other high powers?” asked a man clothed in black who stood behind Du Wuju.
Within this region, the Sword Whisper Manor and the Yin Poison Society have always been deadly enemies. Many sects did not dare to offend the Yin Poison Society as the Cultivation Method that they practiced was just too strange. Coming into contact with the venom that they released was a sure way to die.
“The two of them had their head ruptured with a single spear each while Fei’er was directly stabbed in his Energy Center. To be able to pull this off, the person must be, at the very least, an Energy Shaping Eighth Realm warrior.”
An Energy Shaping Eighth Realm warrior who also used a spear… he couldn’t think of anybody like that.
“Could it have been a powerful fighter from Sword Whisper Manor? That’s impossible, though. All the warriors from Sword Whisper Manor are sword users,” the man clothed in black said with uncertainty as he stood behind Du Wuju.
Du Wuju spread open his hand and absorbed a green toxic True Energy Beam into his body, then his face turned serious.
“The death of Fei’er was by the hands of a Qingyun Alliance league member!”
The black-clothed man who stood behind Du Wuju was at first shocked, then a hint of elation appeared on his face. “Society Master, have you advanced into the Heaven’s Gate Realm?”
Heaven’s Gate Realm, where one can integrate his own consciousness into his True Energy. Du Wuju had earlier shot a beam of True Energy into Du Fei’s body.
“I’ve long advanced into the Heaven’s Gate Realm, but because my realm isn’t fortified yet, I decided to go into seclusion for a few days.”
“Society Master, Sword Slave has sent over news that Wen Cangtian had failed in his Spirit Weapon Cultivation and has also suffered injuries from the Weapon Spirit as a repercussion!”
“Let’s go over right now and kill everyone from the Sword Whisper Manor first, then we’ll get our hands on the Spirit Plucking Tool. Since Wen Cangtian does not have the capabilities to cultivate the Spirit Plucking Tool, I’ll personally cultivate a Poison Weapon, and when the time comes, I won’t even fear those from the Heaven’s Strength Realm. As for the Qingyun Alliance league member, I am definitely not letting him of the hook.”
Du Wuju then put Du Fei’s corpse into his Dimensional Bracelet, and with a flap of his green True Energy wings, generating a few gusts and sweeping away all the fallen leaves on the ground.
All the black-clothed men behind him were secretly shocked. The power of a Heaven’s Gate Realm warrior was on a completely different level compared with one from the True Energy Realm.
Within the Sword Cleansing Cave, Ye Mo had already cured Wen Cangtian of his injuries. He had also repaired the Spirit Weapon. Now, with Wen Cangtian’s power combined with the Blue Flame Sword, defeating Du Wuju of the True Energy Realm would be just a piece of cake.
“Manor Master Wen, now that your power has fully recovered. When Du Wuju arrives, you must definitely slay him.”
“That’s right. Uncle Cangtian, an evil sect like the Yin Poison Society should have long been eradicated.”
“Haha, Ye Mo, Chuchu, now that the Ice Flame Poison has been expelled from my body, my strength has returned to its peak and, equipped with the Blue Flame Sword, that Du Wuju will not be a match for me!”
All of a sudden, footsteps could be heard coming from outside the Sword Cleansing Cave.
“Hide!”
Wen Cangtian, Ye Mo, and Yun Chuchu all hid in a corner of the Sword Cleansing Cave.
They saw Du Wuju making his way into the Sword Cleansing Cave slowly. The Sword Envoy who disguised himself as Sword Slave followed him, but he didn’t walk in by himself. Du Wuju had dragged him in with just one hand on his head. The Sword Envoy was covered in green venom.
“Society Master, run!”
Kacha!
Du Wuju immediately squashed the Sword Envoy’s head. Blood splattered everywhere.
Witnessing the scene before their eyes, Wen Cangtian and Ye Mo both couldn’t help but widen their eyes. Their eyes filled with disbelief. Has Du Wuju seen through their plan already?
As for Yun Chuchu, as she witnessed this horrifying scene, she was already on the verge of screaming.
“Wen Cangtian, Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warrior, and Third Realm warrior, stop hiding. Your plans were indeed well thought out, but unfortunately, I’ve advanced into the Heaven’s Gate Realm, and with my True Energy overlaying the area around me, I’m able to sense everything. All those disciples who were pretending to be dead should already be all dead now.”
Du Wuju laughed coldly, then he kicked the Sword Envoy’s corpse into the Sword River, and, instantly, the Million Ancestral Swords Formation was triggered. Countless flying swords flew towards the corpse.
Swish swish swish swish!
A cloud of blood mist instantly exploded and scattered through the surroundings!
“Tsk tsk. The Million Ancestral Swords Formation is indeed very powerful!” As he spoke, Du Wuju spread his wings open then stepped on the five chains. It took him no more than an instance before he reached the other end of the Sword Lagoon.
“Wen Cangtian, there’s no need for all of you to continue hiding. Now that I’ve reached the Heaven’s Gate Realm, are you forcing me to pull you out myself?”
Du Wuju looked towards a corner by the Sword Lagoon, which was was exactly where Wen Cangtian was hiding.
“Du Wuju, since you’ve destroyed our Sword Whisper Manor, I’m going to kill you!” Wen Cangtian’s eyes were red as he gripped the Blue Flame Sword with one hand.
The ground started to trembled, and the air distorted. Wen Cangtian’s body was actually becoming one with the Blue Flame Sword; they merged to become a 30-feet Blue Long Sword
The Blue Long Sword was shrouded in burning blue flames as it towered majestically with a dazzling blue brilliance and layers of bone-piercing chills. Its threatened to pierce the skies, and the countless treasured swords that were stuck into the Sword Lagoon all started to vibrate.
“What martial technique is this? To be able to become one with the Spirit Weapon!” Ye Mo’s heart shook as he watched what was going on.
But his opponent was of the Heaven’s Gate Realm, so although the attack was powerful, it might not be enough to defeat him.
Wen Cangtian had thought of many things but never did he expect for Du Wuju to have advance into the Heaven’s Gate Realm.
“Haha, Wen Cangtian, using your Sword Whisper Manor’s ultimate move, Sword Against The World, right from the beginning? With this sword that carries the impression of slaying everything in the world, it’s extremely domineering, and you could even split a great mountain in half, but what a pity!”
Du Wuju’s voice was cold. A layer of green shell started to form on his body. This layer of shell was a physical manifestation of his True Energy, and it shone with a green luster. Thorns grew on the Energy Shell, especially on Du Wuju’s chest, where there was an image of a Yin Poison Grass.
This wasn’t a True Energy Shield, but a true defense-type martial technique: Yin Poison Armor.
Just when the Yin Poison Armor took form, the 30-feet Blue Flame Big Sword slashed at it with a sky tearing momentum.
In that instant, a 90-feet Light Blade shot out with a dazzling blue brilliance. It tored through the air, ass the whole ground trembled and thick arm-sized cracks started to form one after another.
Boom!
The strike landed right on Du Wuju’s head, but Du Wuju didn’t even budge. The impact smashed Du Wuju into the ground, and the Sword Cleansing Cave was also split open by the sword. Sun rays shone in through the crevices.
“Did he succeed?”
The strike was way too powerful. Ye Mo couldn’t even see what was happening.
“That’s impossible! Du Wuju has already reached the Heaven’s Gate Realm, so it’s not that easy to kill him.” Ling’er still had her full attention on the two of them as she answered Ye Mo’s question.
“With your Sword Against The World technique, I initially thought that you would be able to break open my Yin Poison Armor. Seems like I overestimated your power!”
Du Wuju laughed coldly before he jumped out of the deep pit. On the Yin Poison Armor, there were only some slight hairline cracks.
