Chapter 1248: The Bandit and the Sheep
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
- Puff, puff, puff... –
The leader of all the people in black suits was apparently the strongest. He struggled hard to protect himself from getting hard by the Twin Swords Blast, but his sword was broken into ashes just half a second after he raised it up. Countless streams of blood shed out from all over his body. His left arm was chopped off and cut into pieces when the sword was gone.
However, his excellent cultivation capability helped him survive. He eventually rushed through the enormous sword light blast, went out about a hundred ters, turned around, and shouted, “Retreat!”
Then he awkwardly fled away.
Nearly thirty of the enemies wearing black clothes got hit by Yue Shuang and Yue Han’s joint sword attack. Seventeen of them were killed in an instant, all of them level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators the ladies focused on. The rest of the enemies were all severely injured. So of them got both of their arms chopped off, but they still tried to run away with their feet. When they left the effective range of the sword light, they started to flee in all directions.
- Shoot, shoot, shoot... – The sound of people thrusting up to the sky continued.
Even though the enemies were such an influential group of capable cultivators, they were defeated within such a short ti, and every survivor fled away and disappeared at once!
In the forest, the leaves finally stopped waving. Everything returned to peace again.
In the battle, the mist of blood was still floating in the air.
Yue Shuang and Yue Han didn’t go after the enemies. They just held their swords in hand, kept their hearts in peace, withdrew the raging devil in their heads, made a long sigh out, and finally opened their eyes. In the end, they exchanged smiles while looking at each other.
Operating the Twin Swords Blast in such a situation was truly disadvantageous. It was such an excessive and bloody technique. After they used it to kill their enemies, they had to spend a while to rest in case the evil occupied their minds!
The battle was over. The two ladies both got injured in various degrees. However, such injuries didn’t actually do any harm to the two great cultivators.
“Very lucky!”
Yue Shaung laughed, and Yue Han nodded. Apparently, they were both beaming with a smile.
The enemies they confronted in this battle were incredibly powerful. If they had chosen to fight those people face to face, they might still win the tough fight and stay alive. However, they might get hurt badly if they did. Ye Nantian and the other three ladies might die in the battle.
If the two ladies had to take care of the other four people when they were fighting a face-to-face battle, they might even fail it!
While the two sides of the battle were in such different power levels, Ye Nantian had contributed a perfect and profound plan to proceed with a counterattack which eventually destroyed the enemies by the last strike.
The two ladies did everything they could to stall for ti, gather energy, start a counterattack, and ultimately defeat all the enemies at once. Within just a short ti, they won the battle over dozens of superior cultivators. Over half of the enemies were dead! What a marvelous victory!
However, looking at the dead bodies on the ground in the forest, the six people still felt frightened.
Even though Yue Shuang and Yue Han were both dominant figures in the realm, they both still felt fear after what had happened!
“If not for the brilliant plan Chief Ye has given to us, I am afraid... we might have lost a lot.” Yue Han looked at Ye Nantian with respect and admiration in the eyes. “The enemies’ moves, their plan, their motivation... You knew them all. You are such a stunning sage. How incredible!”
Ye Nantian laughed and modestly said, “I simply assud that I was the enemy’s head, and it must be my good luck that I guessed it right. I am flattered, Honorable Elder Han. Aside from that, I have a warning that I think we all should keep in mind. We should not lose alert even though we have won the battle. The enemy did such a great plan in the ambush, so it is very likely that they have set up other ambushes sowhere. They were defeated so quickly and surprisingly, so they didn’t have ti to change plans... There should be many stronger cultivators they haven’t sent to us yet... They will make even stronger attacks soon. We must be prepared for it, and we can’t be careless.”
“That is right.” Yue Shuang and Yue Han both nodded in agreent.
Before what happened, the two ladies respected Ye Nantian because of their brother, Ye Xiao. Now, however, they appreciated Ye Nantian because of his intelligence, strategy, and experience! They were totally convinced!
That showed what a great person Ye Nantian was. As the best commander in the Land of Han-Yang, he had never lost any battle in the world. He was indeed an invincible battle god!
Ye Nantian was a great man himself, not just the father of Ye Xiao!
“We should go back and stay sowhere to discuss it. It should be better to face the next battle later...” Ye Nantian said and then turned around.
The blood in the air slled so bad that they all felt uncomfortable.
Yue Shuang and Yue Han were entirely impressed by Ye Nantian, so they surely followed him back.
Yue Gongxue and her maids went after them too.
...
Sowhere else.
A big tough man was striding from the small path of the mountain to the big main road. Every step that hit on the ground seed to shake the world.
The man had a face full of beard, and a pair of sharp and wild eyes looking around, with natural arrogance like he was a king descending the mortal world!
On his shoulder, he carried a massive sword with a single blade—a saber. The edge was brilliantly sharp, and the back of the saber was extrely thick...
It was not just thick... It seed to be a huge hamr!
The saber must be at least five hundred kilograms!
This man was exactly Li Wuliang!
The Fierce Blade!
That was right, Fierce Blade had finally shown up in the world!
The saber on his shoulder was the legendary Sky Saber! It was made from spiritual ocean steel. Spiritual ocean steel was over ten tis heavier than ordinary steel in the sa size! That was why this black, special-shaped huge saber weighed a horrible six hundred kilograms!
However, Li Wuliang just put it on his shoulder as if it was as light as a wooden sword.
He surely had his own space ring, but he never put his beloved saber into the ring. He just kept carrying it on his shoulder all the ti. As a saber user, he would never leave it behind!
His soul vibrated along with his saber all the ti.
He was communicating with the saber all the ti!
He kept the saber in his hand, even when he was severely injured and had beco a wasted man for those years. His hand never left the handle of the saber!
A six hundred kilograms weight ant nearly weightless to Li Wuliang at the mont.
The Sky Saber in his hand was like a part of his arm that had grown out from where his fingers stood. It moved as he wished, and he never felt the weight.
After Li Wuliang left that snow valley, he had planned to go directly to Oracle District. It was the only possible place where he would find Ye Xiao. However, halfway to Oracle District, he changed his mind.
He changed the plan because he t an interesting bandit on the way.
That day, when the famous Fierce Blade was walking on the road, he felt sothing wrong under his feet—there was an obvious trap under the ground. He was curious, so he decided to see what would happen if he fell into it. That was what he casually did.
After that, when he looked up, there was a slim guy looking down at him from outside the trap as expected. The guy seed pretty excited, like a hunter staring at a beast in his trap.
“Hey! You, tough man, give
all your valuable stuff. I, your dear grandpa, may consider sparing your life. Otherwise, embrace death!” The guy was quite arrogant and had the appearance of a sneaky man.
[Grandpa?]
Li Wuliang couldn’t rember the last ti sobody was so bold to claim to be his grandpa. It must have been such a long ti. In the bright daylight, under the clear sky, there was actually a man who actually dared to do so.
“Valuable stuff? I am afraid I have none,” Li Wuliang answered politely. He just casually sat inside the trap while looking up at the guy.
“Listen... I, your grandpa, really don’t want to kill you. Look at your unfortunate look. You must have been through so really bad sh*t...” The guy sounded persuasive to Li Wuliang. “Well, I may give you so money instead if I weren’t getting through such unlucky days. I really need so money to get on my way. I don’t need any treasures from you. Just a few pieces of silver will do.”
Then he continued threatening, “Look... Do not make the wrong choice. Your life ans more than your money. If I don’t set you free from this trap, you won’t be able to spend your money no matter how much you have with you... Listen to ... An honorable man gives away his money in the right way. We are destined to et here. There is a long life ahead of you. My friend, co on. Hey, are you even listening to
here...”
Maybe because Li Wuliang didn’t seem to care much about being stuck in the trap, the guy started to talk nice after the threat. What a funny guy!
However, Li Wuliang didn’t listen to a word of what the guy had just said—he was lost in thoughts of what the man had said earlier!
It was killing him!
[Do I look unfortunate? Really?]
He touched his own face and felt speechless. [How unfortunate do I look? Even a bandit... who has to rob on the road for a living... actually looks down upon ...]
“What is your na?” He was quite interested with the guy who set up this trap. Maybe he didn’t think that the guy was a completely evil person, and the guy absolutely didn’t want to hurt anybody. Li Wuliang didn’t want to kill him, so he just said, “Tell
your na, tell
what you are going to do... where you are going... Maybe I will give you so money as a support.”
Li Wuliang had seen through it.
The guy was no older than thirty-five years old but was already in level five of Dream Origin Stage. Reaching such a cultivation level at such a young age was pretty fast for ordinary people.
He didn’t show any sign of any sect, so he was apparently a rogue cultivator.
For a rogue cultivator to reach this level at such a young age, he must be a talented and hardworking person. The compassion in his eyes when he realized Li Wuliang wasn’t in a good condition wasn’t fake. Li Wuliang was sure this man must be a good man.
The man said, “Screw this! Fine! I am done. You just want
to drag you out and then you can just go away, don’t you? Forget it. Look at you. What a miserable man! I don’t think you have any money with you. I guess I will just take this as a failed attempt. Climb up now and off you go.”
Li Wuliang was speechless.
[I don’t have money?]
[How co? Why would you have such a conclusion?]
[What do you see on ?]
[I am the famous Fierce Blade! And... you actually look down upon
like that? Mocking
like that...]
[Nobody has ever humiliated
like this! Do you know that?]
[Do you understand?]
The guy’s face didn’t appear in his sight anymore. Maybe he was gone. However, after a while, he showed up again over the trap.
“Hey, listen up. You can’t co out by yourself, can you? You said you could give
money only because you wanted
to drag you up, am I correct?” He was surprisingly concerned for Li Wuliang.
Li Wuliang didn’t know what to say. He was totally shocked.
[A less than ten ters deep trap... You think I am unable to get out of this stupid trap... really? Did you an I need you to drag
out?]
[Holy hell! Who is this guy? Why can’t he stop mocking
like this? He has done it several tis now!]
[What a filthy mouth! What an overbearing mouth! How dare him mock , the Fierce Blade?]
[What a sharp tongue!]
While he was thinking about it, a rope was thrown down from above. The bandit seed pretty speechless as he said, “Fine. I guess I should be a good man today. Just... grab the rope... grab it, dude... Hey! Why don’t you grab it? Co on... I don’t get all day... Forget it... Just wrap your waist with the rope. I will drag you out. Quick!”
Li Wuliang stared at the rope before his eyes. It was pretty oily. He wondered what the guy used the rope for earlier. It just didn’t sll right.
“This rope... my friend... it is a treasure... It was special before I did sothing to make a huge change in it... I even put it into a pot of pig oil and fried it for three full days... Look at it. What a lovely rope... It is tough. No swords can cut it apart...”
The guy continued bloating, “Oh wait. Hey, are you an idiot? Why didn’t you get up here already? Didn’t I tell you that I don’t have all day to play with you! Grab the rope you fool... Holy f*ck... Look at your stupid face...”
[Fried in a pot of pig oil for three full days?]
Li Wuliang was speechless all of a sudden. He felt like he could still sll the pork. After hesitating for a while, he decided to grab the rope and acted like he wasn’t a martial art cultivator. That guy dragged him up in the end.
“Holy hell... why are you so heavy?” The man gritted his teeth and said, “You do look pretty big and tough... but you are unreasonably heavier than a bear I caught not long ago...”
Li Wuliang was utterly wordless.
[Wait and see, you foolish prick... I can’t believe you compare the famous Fierce Blade to a bear...]
Before the man had ti to say anything, Li Wuliang kicked him down to the floor. With a casual move, he had already put his Sky Saber on the man’s neck. Li Wuliang fiercely shouted, “Tell
your na! Say it! Why do you rob? What are you going to do with the money?”
