Both Tyrant Blade Manor and Divine Will Sect were in Feng Zhou, so it was only natural that there had been some conflicts between them, especially when there had been a feud between Ye Ying and Xiong Tieshan, the Sect Master of Divine Will Sect since they were young.
Ye Xiong decided to partner up with Divine Will Sect because he knew that as long as he exposed Ye Ying’s whereabouts, those from Divine Will Sect would take action.
That was indeed what had happened. Those from Divine Will Sect didn’t disappoint Ye Xiong. The Sect Master, Xiong Tieshan, led eight Elders to ambush Ye Ying and killed him once and for all.
Everything else was simple. While the Sect Master made a move, the Deputy Sect Master, Pang Wanhai, led a group of people to attack Tyrant Blade Manor, causing Ye Six’s older Brothers to be killed. Only Ye Six and Ye Liuli managed to escape.
For the next few days, Pang Wanhai wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stayed in the manor to comprehend Tyrant Blade Technique and learned something new. When he heard the noise of a battle at night, he went over to have a look while feeling shocked.
When he arrived at the battlefield, he saw that there was some debris on the floor while two figures clashed as their Saber Lights flickered.
One of them was Ye Xiong, whom he had a discussion with earlier, and the other person was Ye Six, who supposedly had gone into hiding.
That astounded Pang Wanhai. He could sense that Ye Six was only a Sixth-Order Cloud River Realm Master, but this guy seemed to be an equal match for Ye Xiong.
He was aware of Ye Xiong’s power. Ye Xiong was slightly more powerful than the Elders from Divine Will Sect. Only he and the Sect Master Xiong Tieshan were stronger than him. As such, he didn’t expect Ye Six to be able to contend with Ye Xiong.
As he observed their battle, he realised that even though Ye Six was in a lower Minor Realm, his speed of wielding his saber and his strength were as great as those of Ye Xiong. Also, since he was younger, he was even more agile than the latter. That was the reason he was able to fight Ye Xiong head-on despite being weaker.
[This brat must die!]
The thought sprang into Pang Wanhai’s mind. Lu Ye was already so incredible even though he was only a Sixth-Order Master. Given enough time, he would be an Eighth-Order or even Ninth-Order Master one day, and he would prove to be a huge threat to them.
Although he had no idea why the brat had returned to the manor, it was the best chance to kill him.
At the thought of this, his murderous intent surged.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiong, who was in a fight with Lu Ye, was astounded. He realised that he was unable to defeat Lu Ye, which was why he was shocked and furious.
He registered Pang Wanhai’s presence and felt his surging murderous intent.
However, since his only Son was killed by Lu Ye, he had to get his revenge with his own hands. If Pang Wanhai interfered, Ye Xiong would never get over the matter even if Lu Ye was killed.
Therefore, as soon as he detected Pang Wanhai’s murderous intent, he sported a determined expression. It seemed that he had no choice but to use his trump card.
He fully activated his power and brought down his saber. Following a clang, both of them shuddered before moving backwards.
Just then, a great sense of danger swept over Lu Ye. The feeling didn’t come from Pang Wanhai, who had been watching them from the sidelines. Instead, it came from Ye Xiong, who had been in a fight with him.
He looked at Ye Xiong and saw him squatting and lifting his hands. While Ye Xiong held his saber with one hand, he ran the fingers of his other hand across the blade as he infused his Spiritual Power into the weapon, which radiated a glow. The mirror-like blade reflected Ye Xiong’s cold gaze.
[Tyrant Blade Technique!]
Lu Ye was flabbergasted. Although he knew nothing about Tyrant Blade Technique, he realised what Ye Xiong was trying to do, seeing how his aura had changed.
Even though it was Ye Ying who had found the blade technique from an ancient ruins site, Ye Xiong had also learned it as he was the Second Manor Master.
Since they were in a deadlock, he had no choice but to use Tyrant Blade Technique, hoping to defeat the other party.
While Lu Ye was in his thoughts, Ye Xiong charged forward with his saber. As that happened, his aura reached its peak while he vented his fury with the attack.
“Go to Hell!” he barked.
Pang Wanhai, who was ready to join forces with Ye Xiong and take down Lu Ye, couldn’t help but stop as he stared fixedly at Ye Xiong’s movements.
He had been trying to comprehend Tyrant Blade Technique for the past few days. Although he had learned something, there were many things he didn’t understand. Ye Ying and his children were either dead or missing. Now, Lu Ye and Ye Xiong were the only people in the world who had mastered Tyrant Blade Technique. It would be beneficial to Pang Wanhai as he observed their battle.
A cold glint radiated as the entire place was engulfed in murderous intent.
Following that, sparks could be seen scattering everywhere. It was as though one was standing under a moonless sky as the Stars twinkled.
The entire world seemed to have fallen silent as only the sounds of insects were heard. Everything appeared serene and harmonious.
All of a sudden, the sparks descended from the sky and came crashing down with a destructive force.
It was the first move of the Tyrant Blade Technique, Starburst!
Pang Wanhai, who had been on the sidelines, couldn’t help but be awed by the cold glint of the saber. He felt cold all over his body as his chest tightened. Despite that, he was engrossed and wasn’t even willing to blink.
It was rumoured that Tyrant Blade Technique had a total of three moves. Apart from the first move, Starburst, which everyone was aware of, no one knew what the other two moves were.
Even Ye Ying had never shown anyone the last two moves.
However, using only one move, he was able to establish Tyrant Blade Manor in Feng Zhou and make a name for himself.
Ye Xiong was weaker than Ye Ying. From a spectator’s perspective, Ye Xiong’s attack wasn’t well-executed. Despite that, it was still ridiculously powerful.
That strengthened Pang Wanhai’s interest in Tyrant Blade Technique. He decided that after Ye Xiong killed Lu Ye, he would make Ye Xiong practise the blade technique with him.
He knew that Ye Xiong wouldn’t dare to turn him down.
Faced with such an attack, there was no doubt Lu Ye was doomed. Even if Pang Wanhai was the one facing the attack, he would have no choice but to dodge it. If he dealt with it head-on, he would be badly injured.
The next moment, something unbelievable happened.
Instead of retreating, Lu Ye charged forward and crashed into the Stars. At that moment, he displayed a power that was stronger than before.
Since the young girl had reminded Lu Ye that the people of the Divine Will Sect were still in the manor, he certainly would be vigilant.
Therefore, he didn’t fully activate his power when dealing with Ye Xiong earlier.
It wasn’t until this moment that he used all his strength.
The Stars started exploding. It only took all of them a short moment to disappear.
“What!?” Pang Wanhai felt his eyelids twitching.
He could clearly see that when faced with Ye Xiong’s attack, the brat named Lu Ye cast more than ten attacks in a short time and fended off the other party’s strike.
A figure was sent flying away as he sprayed out a mouthful of blood in mid-air. He was none other than Ye Xiong, who was still haughty earlier.
On the battlefield, Lu Ye stood there as his Spiritual Power and vitality mingled with each other. His right arm seemed to be burning while holding the saber.
If not for the fact that he had cultivated the Blood Shifting technique, which allowed him to be stronger and faster than he usually was for a while, he couldn’t have warded off the attack.
Despite that, he was still injured.
He looked down at his abdomen and realised his clothes were soaked in blood. There was a hole in his abdomen as his organs had been hurt.
After activating his Spiritual Power to seal the wound, he let out a breath.
There were two reasons why he came to Tyrant Blade Manor to get his revenge. First of all, he had to act in a way that matched Ye Six’s identity. Secondly, he was interested in Tyrant Blade Technique.
However, he didn’t think too much about it previously. He felt that regardless of how powerful a blade technique was in such a world, it wouldn’t be abstruse. It probably wasn’t comparable to what he had acquired from the Raving Blademen.
Nonetheless, after exchanging moves with Ye Xiong, he realised he had underestimated Tyrant Blade Technique.
The blade technique must be something incredible, which was why his interest grew stronger.
In the entire Jiu Zhou, there was no Eighth-Order Master that could force him to fully activate his power and even injure him, given his current power.
Nevertheless, Ye Xiong managed to achieve that. He didn’t rely on his cultivation. Instead, it was because of the move.
That kind of move far exceeded anyone’s imagination about any blade technique. It even gave Lu Ye a mysterious feeling.
[Saber Intent…]
He had heard about something as abstract as Saber Intent, but the idea never bothered him one bit. That was because he felt that a blade technique was just a skill one used to deal with his enemies. Why did something as simple as that have to be so abstract?
However, Ye Xiong’s attack earlier made him feel that such an ‘Intent’ did exist.
That was pretty amazing.
If he could go somewhere quiet and comprehend it, his mastery of the Way of Blades would improve tremendously. Nevertheless, it wasn’t the right time to do that.
Just then, a shriek broke through the night sky. It was Ye Xiong who wailed after he was sent flying away.
He had indeed cultivated Tyrant Blade Technique, but it was his first time using it to deal with an enemy. Given his mastery of the Way of Blades, he wasn’t powerful enough to use the move. If he forcibly did it, it would only cause a huge burden on him.
Presently, there was only a wound that was caused by Lu Ye on his figure, but in truth, he was horribly injured deep within.
When he cast the attack earlier, all his energy and Spiritual Power seemed to have been released as well. As such, he had no more energy left.
He initially thought that he could kill Lu Ye with the move. Unfortunately, he hadn’t mastered the move. Instead of getting his revenge, he was hurt by the other party.
At that moment, he recalled what Ye Ying had said to him before. Since he hadn’t mastered the move, it would be fine if he used it on a weaker opponent. However, if he had to deal with a stronger opponent, the move wouldn’t be useful at all. Instead, he would be at a disadvantage.
However, why would he even use such a move to deal with someone weaker? Therefore, even though he had cultivated Tyrant Blade Technique, it was his first time using it on his opponent. In the end, he was badly injured, so it was only natural that he was resentful.
“Please kill him for me, Brother Pang!” Ye Xiong looked in Pang Wanhai’s direction while lying on the floor.
Since he couldn’t avenge his Son’s death with his own hands, he had no choice but to seek someone else’s help.
Ye Six was injured as well. If Pang Wanhai made a move, there was no doubt the other party would be doomed.
“As you wish!” Pang Wanhai was pleased after watching the battle. Therefore, he directly agreed to Ye Xiong’s request.
He extended his hand into the Void and pulled out a long saber. As his murderous intent surged, he stared fixedly at Lu Ye and said, “Brat, if you can take three moves from me, I’ll spare your life!”
