Chapter 402
Seen through?
Booom!!!
The low resounding sound came out from the swamp, Huai Rou Mu Yu was smashed fiercely into a stone that was covered with moss, she rolled on the ground and with trembling hands, she supported herself as she stood up slowly, her brown eyes staring at the man walking over with unreconciliation.
“I already said, if you follow us obediently, you won’t have to suffer from so much pain! Are you regretting it now?”
The leader waved his sledgehammer and walked one step at a time that left footprints in the ground, his face that was covered with cuts smiled sinisterly.
Huai Rou Mu Yu did not utter a word, but the unswerving determination on her face revealed her standpoint, she gripped her crystal sword tightly and wished to attack again.
“Heh, you truly don’t know what death is, Miss Huai Rou Mu Yu, your cultivation is definitely outstanding compared to your own peers, but in front of me, it is nothing! Truthfully, even if the people from your Huai Rou Family were to come, I can easily handle all of them!”
The leader sneered, he suddenly stepped out and appeared right in front of her and placed his hand on Huai Rou Mu Yu’s shoulder, wanting to use force to force her to drop her sword.
Huai Rou Mu Yu’s mind trembled, she was not in time to react.
But in that split second of peril, a sword suddenly slashed from the right side and hacked onto his hand.
The leader frowned and immediately retracted his hand to retreat.
Su Yun had appeared beside Huai Rou Mu Yu unknowingly, dressed in his black cloak with a Sword Sheath on his waist, he gripped on a long and blood red sword, with killing intent reeking out, his Sword Qi extremely sharp.
“Nan Gong Qing!” Huai Rou Mu Yu called out, her throat then turned sweet as she spat out blood.
“Are you alright?” Su Yun asked.
“I’m fine, but he is very strong and is not easy to fight against.” Huai Rou Mu Yu said weakly.
“We only need to delay him and wait for the backup from the Nan Gong Family experts.”
Su Yun gripped his sword tightly, his face was pale white but determined.
“Your Huai Rou Family truly have many treasures, to allow a sixth stage Spirit Star Realm trash to enter the Spirit Master Realm, but just with that, you cannot hope to defeat me, I am not like my trash subordinates.”
The leader stared at Su Yun, he raised his hand and released True Divine Spirit Qi and smashed his large sledgehammer onto Su Yun.
The brilliant sledgehammer was like a mountain dropping from the sky, it was extremely powerful!
Su Yun’s gaze turned cold, he stepped to the side and dodged the sledgehammer, causing it to fall on the ground that instantly split, the powerful shock wave caused a ripple that shook the entire Nan Gong Family, shattering all the stones around into dust.
“You have powerful strength, but you are too slow!”
Su Yun bellowed, he got closer to the leader and waved his palm, enveloping the leader’s body with a trajectory Qi.
Storm Sword technique!
Sou sou sou
A sub sword flew over and followed the trajectory, flying quickly and cutting the leader.
Clang clang sounds kept on coming out, although the sub sword was extremely sharp, but it was unable to break through the True Divine Spirit Qi protecting the leader’s body.
“Just with this?”
The leader sneered, and used his palm to smash towards Su Yun.
Su Yun’s gaze turned cold, he swung his arm and grabbed towards the side.
A white light flashed and light auras blossomed in all directions.
In that moment, waves of sword concepts soared towards the sky like shooting stars.
A unique and matchless sword suddenly appeared, causing the entire forbidden grounds to be pulled into a strange state of Sword Concept!
~What’s going on?~
Huai Rou Mu Yu’s heart was thumping hard, she looked towards the white light, only to see that a young lady in white had unknowingly appeared where Su Yun had extended his left hand.
Sou!
In Su Yun’s hand was a snow white sword that had appeared, he grabbed onto the sword and slashed down.
The sword tip was like a white lightning.
Puchi!
The arm that was covered with True Divine Spirit Qi was instantly chopped off, causing a great amount of blood to flow.
“Ah!!!”
The leader released a wail and he retreated.
“What sword is that? How can it break through my True Divine Spirit Qi!” The leader gritted his teeth and roared.
“The Contracted Victory Sword.”
Su Yun said coldly, he then stepped forward and flickered, slashing the air once more.
The leader blocked with his sledgehammer, but at this moment, Su Yun’s aura was dauntless, his sword had a sense of being unrivalled and matchless.
The leader had lost one arm, thus losing a lot of strength and was suppressed by Su Yun.
Huai Rou Mu Yu was stunned, although she did not know the level of the leader, she knew Su Yun’s strength.
~What sword is that? It actually has such power~
“Mu Yu!”
Su Yun gritted his teeth and roared.
Huai Rou Mu Yu was no fool, seeing the once in a lifetime opportunity, she immediately thrusted her crystal sword out, releasing a rainbow colored light aura that struck the leader’s chest.
Puchi!
A hole erupted in his chest, blood spurt out, and his True Divine Spirit Qi became chaotic.
Using the Contracted Victory Sword to suppress the leader, Su Yun’s finger moved and controlled flying swords to pounce at him.
With attacks from the front and back, the leader was forced to the corner, he released a growl from the bottom of his heart, and a large fist formed from his Spirit Qi suddenly sprung out from his body and struck Su Yun’s chest.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Su Yun was struck five times, the Qi and blood in his body churned all over, his throat was filled with blood as he coughed out.
“Watch how I smash you into a pulp!”
The leader roared out, a burst of True Divine Spirit Qi rose up and struck Su Yun.
Su Yun was forced to retreat again and again, his body swayed incessantly, the opponent’s strength was far too powerful for him.
While he was being unstable, the leader pounced over ferociously like a tiger pouncing on its prey, he threw out fists formed from Qi smashing onto Su Yun.
True Divine Spirit Qi erupted out and formed a vanguard for the fists, all these fists were as heavy as a hundred thousand catties and upon touching the body, it would cause a person’s life to erupt, such a power was enough to transform the opponent into dust.
Su Yun knew that the fists were powerful, but how could he retreat at such a moment?
His gaze turned cold, he stared at the leader who was behind the tiger fists formed from the Qi, he gritted his teeth and used the Contracted Victory Sword to slash straight at the leader’s head.
Xiu!
The long and pure white sword was flung, releasing a strange ‘zi zi zi’ sound, the True Divine Spirit Qi was instantly cut through and the snow white sword instantly slashed through the leader’s body from head to tail bone, splitting him into half.
The fists that were formed from the leader’s fists immediately weakened, but smashed onto Su Yun nonetheless, its power still held substantial strength, causing Su Yun to be flung out, falling heavily into the swamp. His clothes were not like Huai Rou Mu Yu which could prevent being stained, he fell and became muddy, looking extremely battered and exhausted.
The leader’s entire body froze, after a moment, a blood red line formed straight in the middle from his head to his genitals, flipping into two, the left and right falling apart, all of his organs dropped out and blood flowed everywhere.
“Su Yun! Are you ok!”
Ling Qing Yu immediately ran over and supported him.
“I’m fine, I’m fine”
Su Yun gasped for breath as he stood up, his face was pale white and his entire body was drenched in perspiration.
He glanced at the leader who had fallen, and the tension in his eyes relaxed.
He unsummoned Contracted Victory Sword, allowing Ling Qing Yu to regain her strength.
She pulled Su Yun out of the swamp, and he immediately sat down cross legged to recover.
Everything was over.
“Although my sword is sharp, my cultivation is much lower than that man… According to logic, I am unable to slash him into halves” Ling Qing Yu glanced at Su Yun and asked: “Did you do something?”
Su Yun raised his hand weakly and showed his five fingers to Ling QIng Yu.
Majority of his fingers had rings on them, but one of them had a black ring that resembled a lotus that was eye catching.
“One of the 72 Consummate skills of Sprite’s Shadow, Heart Tip Cleaving Sword Art, I used this mystical technique to allow the Contracted Victory Sword’s sword aura to be raised to its limit, allowing it to cut through gold and break jade, it is invincible. Adding that I had cut off his arm when I caught him off guard, his True Divine Spirit Qi had become chaotic, and Huai Rou Mu Yu even made a hole through his chest, he was severely injured, so the protection he had dropped greatly, thus I was able to cut through him. However, this activation exhausted all the Spirit Force in me and right now, I am at my limit too.”
Su Yun gasped for breath, as though he was even losing strength to speak.
Hearing that, Ling Qing Yu nodded: “Under such a situation, it’s either you or him, it was the only thing you could do.”
“Yea.” Su Yun laughed bitterly: “Luckily you came out in time, otherwise, I would have to use the Death Sword.”
“You can’t do that, upon being released, the Death Sword’s Evil Qi will erupt, adding that it is extremely powerful, it will definitely attract countless of experts! At that time, it will be even more difficult to handle!”
“I will only use it as my last resort, I can’t lose my life just because I don’t want to use it. Since it allows me to use it, I should not fear it.” Su Yun answered.
“That’s true.”
Ling Qing Yu nodded her head, she seemed as though she wanted to speak further, but footsteps could be heard from outside the forbidden grounds, she immediately transformed into a white light and went back into the Sword Sheath.
Su Yun immediately kept the Sword Sheath into the storage ring.
Huai Rou Mu Yu who was by the side stared at him and Ling Qing Yu. Only when Ling Qing Yu disappeared did she walk forward.
“Su Yun, how are you?”
“Terrible.”
Su Yun said deliberately.
“I have some pills for you that can help you recover after consuming them, it can heal your wounds and increase your power, take them.”
Huai Rou Mu Yu took out a few bottles and handed it over.
Su Yun revealed his shamelessness, he accepted the few bottles and kept them in his pocket, he laughed and opened one and threw all the bean sized objects into his mouth.
“Who was that lady just now?”
Huai Rou Mu Yu asked gently.
“Why? Are you jealous?” Su Yun asked while consuming the pills.
“Your business with other ladies does not concern me, why would I be jealous?” Huai Rou Mu Yu shook her head gently.
Hearing that, Su Yun was startled, he looked at Huai Rou Mu Yu strangely and asked: “Why do you say that? Could it be that you aren’t against me having a few wives?”
“Of course I won’t be against it.”
“Why?” Su Yun sensed that something was amiss. With Huai Rou Mu Yu’s personality, she would not be so open, although it was common for men to have a few wives in Ultimate Martial World, but there were many who supported monogamy as well, of course, one wife with many husbands existed too.
But while Su Yun felt that it was strange, Huai Rou Mu Yu said something that caused his heart to tense up.
“Because you are not Nan Gong Qing.”
Her voice was gently, and her face did not have any expression.
Hearing that, Su Yun was stunned, after a long while, he gasped for breath.
“How did you know?”
He did not quibble with her, Huai Rou Mu Yu was an intelligent lady, and quibbling was useless.
“Two points, firstly, the characteristics of your Spirit Qi is not the world-famous ‘Southern Cloud Divine Qi’ passed down in the Nan Gong Aristocratic Family. Secondly, although the most powerful techniques that Nan Gong Aristocratic Family ancestors passed down were sword techniques, Nan Gong Qing does not know how to use a sword! Not only do you know exquisite sword techniques, you can even control a thousand swords, such a mystical sword technique confirmed my guess that you are not Nan Gong Qing.” Huai Rou Mu Yu stood in front of Su Yun, her brown eyes staring straight at him, and she asked gently: “So who are you?”
(TN: Didn’t she call him Su Yun just now? Didn’t Ling Qing Yu explicitly call his name? xD)
