Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lei Dongtian suddenly thought of something else. He instantly withdrew his sword, and gently landed on the roof. The demeanor of an expert was apparent in his calm composure.
"Old Mu!" exclaimed Lei Dongtian.
Old Mu flew hurriedly towards him.
The saber flashed rapidly as it struck true at its opponent. The potential of Venerable Lord Saber had been fully spurred. Although he was still dizzy, his fighting instinct remained superbly intact.
The flas.h.i.+ng bolt could be seen chasing Old Mu, so quick that it appeared as if consecutive knives were following each other, slas.h.i.+ng and hacking forcefully without missing a single beat.
His mind had been dulled by the impact he had received earlier. His heart was haunted by layers of crisis; the only conscious thought that remained was that if he did not desperately save himself, he would undoubtedly die in this altercation!
In such circ.u.mstances, how could he not exert all his strength and more!
He had no choice but to give his all, in order to survive.
"Stop!" Venerable Lord Snow exclaimed loudly.
Stepping forward, he moved to grab the saber from the air.
However, with a sudden glint of steel, the saber flashed towards the face of Venerable Lord Snow.
Venerable Lord Snow was extremely furious. He s.n.a.t.c.hed the blade out of the air and shouted angrily, "Are you quite mad?"
His deafening voice sounded like a thundering earthquake!
Venerable Lord Saber finally felt as if his chaotic mind had been cleared. By separating himself from his saber, he lost the only remaining strength he had left, falling like a stone to the ground.
Venerable Lord Snow managed to catch him before he landed.
On the opposite side, Lei Dongtian and Old Mu could be seen catching their breaths simultaneously. Under the self-initiated mechanism of their bodies, the potency of the medicinal pills had flared like a wildfire, causing the almost dried-out dantian to produce new forces immediately, in an endless stream.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! This is a great misunderstanding!"
Venerable Lord Snow"s was clearly dumbfounded. Once again, he uttered solemnly that it was a misunderstanding.
Lei Dongtian grunted in his heart. Faintly he said, "Does the infamous Venerable Lord Saber and Venerable Lord Snow from the Four Seasons Tower stand before me?"
Venerable Lord Snow said, "Yes, we do. If I may daringly ask, who might you be?
Lei Dongtian replied, "Don’t you recognize me?"
Venerable Lord Snow was startled, "Should I?"
Lei Dongtian was flabbergasted, "How could you not? How could you not recognize me?"
Venerable Lord Snow felt as if the person before him was a lunatic, albeit a dangerous one. He then said, "My eyes are rather bad. Again, I would like to ask, who are you? "
The smile on Lei Dongtian"s face was growing increasingly stiff. With a piercingly chill tone, he uttered, "Are your eyes bad? Perhaps you may be blind."
Even a mud toy would have its own rustic dignity. Venerable Lord Snow had been displaying his kind intentions repeatedly, yet the fellow was still so impolite in his speech. After all, he was also deemed a top expert that was terrified by the secular and all corners of the country. At those words, his face sank. He then faintly uttered, "I don’t understand the meaning of your words. Can I interpret it as you are trying to provoke me?"
Lei Dongtian let out a long breath, he felt as if his cultivation base had recovered to almost a sixth or a seventh of his full capacity. His grew calm. Solemnly he said, "Snowflake Edge that dances through the sky, I recognize you, you are Venerable Lord Snow! At your side, a blade hangs from the sky, Venerable Lord Saber. Am I right?"
You have asked this once before!
Despite his peak-leveled cultivation base, why did the person before him seem a little absent-minded? What was even more outrageous was that the two peak-leveled experts both shared the same mental deficiencies. What a terrible fate indeed!
Venerable Lord Snow sensed something peculiar within his heart. He then uttered, "If I may ask, who are you, actually?"
Lei Dongtian burst out laughing, and said, "I am your father!"
Venerable Lord Snow felt a fiery rage surge within him.
This time, Venerable Lord Snow was truly enraged.
However, considering the tyrannical cultivation base of the other party, he managed to forcefully suppress his anger and said, "Don’t sound so aggressive lest you lose your grace; I have been repeatedly declaring that the accident was merely a misunderstanding, or rather a trap set up by people with ill intentions."
"A misunderstanding? A trap?" Lei Dongtian snorted, "You are the Four Seasons Tower correct? You are Venerable Lord Snow, are you not? Is he not Venerable Lord Saber? No, there’s nothing wrong with this."
Venerable Lord Snow sensed a sense of despondency bloom within him, "Yes, you are wise. We are two of the five Venerable Lords from the Four Seasons Tower."
Lei Dongtian rolled his eyes, and uttered in an odd tone, "It is already the middle of the night. Why didn"t you fellows go to sleep in your room? Instead, you came over to the roof in such frosty, chilled weather. Are you here to enjoy the cool weather or are you here to enjoy the cool weather? Or are you f*cking here to enjoy the cool weather?"
Venerable Lord Snow said calmly, "We brothers just arrived at Tiantang City not long ago. We just wanted to enjoy the night view of Tiantang City and nothing more. Instead, we b.u.mped into today’s unexpected turn of events. It’s by coincidence that we had personally witnessed it.
Lei Dongtian suddenly turned solemn, "What the f*ck, aren’t you talking nonsense? Enjoy the night? Don’t tell me that both of you are poets? Look at how romantic you all are. Why don’t you say that you are actually trying to recite poems to each other? Isn’t that more figurative and more realistic? Do you have any improvised opus? Come and recite it for me. Let your father enjoy it as well. "
Venerable Lord Snow"s expression turned sour, "Such a tyrannical and domineering character you have there. What is the cause of that?"
"Pretentious!"
Lei Dongtian looked obliquely at him, "Why don’t you keep on acting. Act until the end, if you are capable to do so!"
Venerable Lord Snow took a deep breath, finally certain about something. This person before him was stubborn with his own opinion. He would not have been able to listen to any wise words.
No matter what he said, he had treated any advice or threats as nothing. The only thing that had been identified was that he himself was his mortal enemy.
Such an awareness had made Venerable Lord Snow feel extremely nauseated.
Well, after all, you are deemed as one of the superior experts. How could you incriminate us without having to investigate the cause?
Is the Four Seasons Tower bullied that easily?
"So it seems like you prefer a battle to discovering the truth. Although you are superior in your strength, we, the Four Seasons Tower, are not a party that will be bullied easily!" Venerable Lord Snow was trying to calm his mind down, fully mobilizing the mystical Qi within him whilst making his final effort.
Even if his effort would be in vain, he was still trying, so as to avoid becoming an enemy against the expert before him.
"Still trying to pretend?" Lei Dongtian felt as if he had almost recovered. He then turned pensive and malevolently uttered, "Where are the people?"
Upon hearing that, Venerable Lord Saber was instinctively startled, " Who?"
Lei Dongtian was swift to anger, raging to an unstoppable extent. Roaring against the sky, bellowing as if he was a thunderbolt that was rumbling with its deafening sound, "Where are my people? Until when will you want to pretend?
The expression of Venerable Lord Snow was solemn, "Please, say it clearly lest the vileness occurs between us!
"You f*cker, you are the vilest!" Without any preamble, Lei Dongtian then rushed forward.
The strength of the second attack initiated by Lei Dongtian was not only impressive, it appeared to be very different from the previous one. With a flick of his left hand, a ma.s.s of black smog could be seen filling the air. The edgy gesture of his palm was irresistible. With a flick of his right hand, the gleam of the sword could be seen s.h.i.+mmering like the water spurted out by a poisonous dragon, extremely malevolent.
Upon seeing the approach of the stunts, Venerable Lord Snow did not linger.With an acute spin, countless Snowflake Edges could be seen rattling along the extended sword of Lei Dongtian. In a rotation to dodge the palm gesture of Lei Dongtian, Venerable Lord Snow had finally instigated a counterattack, attacking forcefully with his fists against the sound of the thunderbolt.
The energy of Lei Dongtian had been greatly consumed just now. It was natural that his attack was inferior whilst Venerable Lord Saber was still able to maintain his strength as he had just been defending but not attacking. However, it now seemed like the strength of Lei Dongtian had surged and his attack had been doubled. If Venerable Lord Snow did not counterattack, how was that different from seeking death? Even if Venerable Lord Snow had been contemplating on how to explain the misunderstanding, it would be better to counterattack first in order to preserve his life!
Boom!
Both of their palms had hit each other directly with a bone-jarring thud. The body of Lei Dongtian trembled slightly, while Venerable Lord Snow had receded back three steps. Under his fury, the speed of Lei Dongtian had almost reached an extreme level, as if he had turned himself into a whirlwind. With the flas.h.i.+ng of his sword, he appeared like a glittering ball of light, without able to see his stature.
It only took three maneuvers for Venerable Lord Snow to fall into an inferior position.
He had always been a man with scruples. Even if he were to initiate an attack, he would not go all out, as his mind had always been thinking: at which point did the misunderstanding occurred? Although the way the other spoke was unpleasant, it would be more fatal if the misunderstanding could not be resolved. If the misunderstanding could be solved then solving the misunderstanding would be the best!
His cultivation base in itself was not as good as the other. Further, he had had scruples in his heart. Under the superposition of two, it was not long before would land in a devastating position of being beaten.
The rage of Lei Dongtian was burning vigorously. With the menace of bullying the weak, it was plain that the more he attacked, the smoother it was.
Upon seeing his own young master being taken advantage of without needing his help, his focus had naturally fallen upon Venerable Lord Saber.
Little did Old Mu forget about the repressed humiliation caused by the ant-like figure, Venerable Lord Saber, before this. Since there was a chance now, how could he dismiss it?
Venerable Lord Saber was still in the midst of confusion at this moment, feeling as if his body was almost emptied, his head buzzing and his heart beating rapidly. The dazzling blackout appeared now and then before him. In short, all was not right ...
He would not even notice if Old Mu had appeared before him, let alone to deal with him.
Snap!
A slap in the face of Venerable Lord Saber. Old Mu asked, "Where are they?
Upon the sudden attack, Venerable Lord Saber had instinctively stood up with a roar. It then followed by another slap on his face, more violent than before, knocking him directly to the ground, "Where are the people?"
Venerable Lord Saber had finally regained his consciousness. However, never in his life had he suffered from such a humiliation. In that instant, he felt as if his chest was about to explode, "Old dog! Kill me if you dare!"
"You think that this old man is afraid to kill you? Death will not come easy for you!" Old Mu chuckled coldly, "Say it frankly, only then I will give you a straightforward death!"
Venerable Lord Saber sneered, "Although your father is unable to fight you, don’t you ever dare ask anything for your father!"
Old Mu had turned furious. Slamming Venerable Lord Saber’s chest, Old Mu malevolently chuckled, "I want to see how stubborn you are, and to what extent you can remain so. We shall see if you will say it aloud then!"
With a single thought, the force of Yin within him caused him to vomit violently.
Upon seeing this, Venerable Lord Snow who standing on the other side exclaimed, "Stop!"
He rushed over to enact a rescue.
"Stop?" With a slight movement, Lei Dongtian blocked the path of Venerable Lord Snow. Sneering coldly, Lei Dongtian uttered, "Do you think he will listen to me or you? Have you become dumb by pretending to be one for far too long?"
Venerable Lord Snow grew increasingly livid, "This is really a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding indeed, can’t you understand human language?"
