Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Venerable Lord Saber?" Lei Dongtian was stunned for a moment. He could not help but to turn around and look at Old Mu.
Hadn"t Old Mu already beaten him down to a pulp?
Old Mu was surprised by the arrival of Venerable Lord Saber as well. He shook his head. Clearly, I have made him a handicap. Even if he was not dead, he would be unable to fight again. How could he appear in such a state?
At the very next moment, a loud cry rang out.
"Second brother! Go!" Venerable Lord Saber shouted wildly.
Trembling, Venerable Lord Snow vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.
Running a finger along the edge of his saber, Venerable Lord Saber let out a deafening roar that resounded across the sky. With a sorrowful smile, he said in a sepulchral, "I have never been subservient throughout my lifetime. Today, at this moment of death, only then do I understand the meaning of brotherhood. United are the hearts of the brothers! Off I go! "
With a loud laugh, the saber in his hand began to glow. With a quick motion, Venerable Lord Saber slashed his own throat with his saber. A thin head slipped off his neck and skimmed towards the direction of Venerable Lord Snow.
That action was beyond the expectations of Lei Dongtian and his servant. Apparently, this was ... was a suicide!
With such strong resilience, why would he resort to committing suicide?
At that moment of shock, both of them witnessed another peculiar incident. Not the slightest bit of fresh blood oozed out from the gaping wound!
Although Venerable Lord Saber’s body was headless and all his senses had faded away, it seemed like he could still see , as if he had eyes. His headless body rushed madly in the direction of Lei Dongtian and Old Mu.
While das.h.i.+ng over, his saber air began to condense. In an instant, the sky was filled with saber energy!
Upon witnessing such a horrible phenomenon, they did not know how to react, choosing to retreat instead. They then witnessed the headless corpse of Venerable Lord Saber leap into the air.
Across the horizon, a distant sound, as if coming from the far skies, rang out.
"The flesh and blood have condensed, an offering of the soul; Saber G.o.d shall appear, no one will survive!"
With those words, an ethereal saber emerged with a terrifically loud sound that rent the air.
An unbelievably imposing figure appeared in the sky. Standing there was a golden immortal, several hundred feet tall. The saber flew into his grip. With a deliberate wave of his hand, a saber hill burst out of the ground and into the air.
The height of the hill was a spectacular sight.
It seemed like the lingering saber energy had all been collected and converted into a singular saber, which then called forth a monstrous hill.
The saber hill then began to tip sideways. Apart from a ray of light that could be seen das.h.i.+ng backward, all the remaining shadows of the sabers were falling towards Lei Dongtian and Old Mu with an extremely ruthless saber energy.
The saber hills that had been formed rippled unceasingly.
"Young fifth!"
With an extended roar, the figure of Venerable Lord Snow seized the glowing saber whilst carrying the Venerable Lord Saber’s head. He then turned into a white glow, galloping away.
He ran at full speed, roaring in cried the entire way. Fully heartbroken, he felt as if he had lost his soul!
"Brother ... your second brother is bringing you home!"
The speeding figure had soon disappeared from sight. However, the grievous howling would continue to linger within the night sky of Tiantang City for some time to come.
Lei Dongtian and Old Mu were in no position to give chase to Venerable Lord Snow at the moment. Facing the decadent attack by the saber hills, they were nowhere to escape to. With great determination, they both screamed their defiance and exerted their arts in combining the sword and body, fighting brutally against it!
Ding, ding,ding, ding,ding.
They lost count of the times the gleam of their swords had collided with the saber hill"s saber energy...
At last, Lei Dongtian was thrown back like a broken kite with a cry. Old Mu was only slightly slower than him before he too was flung away.
They were hurled several hundred feet away and landed at the edge of the roof.
The saber hills in the air were still multiplying and glowing with a saber light that obliterated everything in sight. It had even obscured Venerable Lord Snow"s escape.
Finally, the sound of a saber cried out.
A long saber apparated out of thin air. The cold glow of steel could be seen s.h.i.+mmering along its blade.
After a brief moment, it vanished.
The serenity of the secular world had been restored.
The body of Venerable Lord Saber had disappeared along with the hill. However, not a single trace of flesh nor blood could be found on the ground.
All of his flesh and blood had been served as an offering to the saber energy, without any reservation.
An extra twenty to thirty crisscrossed saber cuts marked the body of Lei Dongtian, making him grimace in pain. The body of Old Mu was also rent with intertwining marks of blades. His injuries were even heavier than that of Lei Dongtian.
Both were gasping for breath, staring violently at the void before them.
However, Venerable Lord Saber was gone. Venerable Lord Snow had also disappeared.
Upon knowing that the battle had ended, Lei Dongtian sat on the ground and continue to gasp for air. Within his glances, the traces of extreme hatred was revealed, "d.a.m.n! We let him escape! The aftermath will be terrible indeed."
With a limp, Old Mu walked forward," Young lord, the saber hill should be the last resort initiated by Venerable Lord Saber by utilizing all of his remaining vitality. Though it wasn"t enough to kill us, it was sufficient to stop us. What kind of technique is that? "
Old Mu was terrified and suspicious. He clearly remembered that he had destroyed all the meridians of Venerable Lord Saber. How could this still happen?
The slightest movement caused the wounds across Lei Dongtian’s body to flare with pain. He could not help but grunt softly.
Both of their cultivation bases were profound. Although there were many wounds that covered their whole bodies, they were mostly external wounds, which were not fatal. They even had the strength to continue fighting again.
However, the target of the battle had gone.
"I have heard of... this kind of technique..." The glances of Lei Dongtian flashed. He could be seen s.h.i.+vering with cold, "This ... this ... This is ... ..."
Suddenly his gaze was frozen. His mouth was half-opened as if the whole of him had turned into a statue.
"Young lord? Young lord?" Old Mu was shocked.
"I remember!"
Lei Dongtian jumped to his feet, causing all the wounds covering his body to crack open again. Without feeling the pain, his eyes stared forward as he uttered, "Bone of the Saber G.o.d! It is the Bone of the Saber G.o.d! Sure enough, it deserves its reputation!
Old Mu could be seen staring wide-eyed, "Bone of the Saber G.o.d? What is that?"
As if he had not heard the question by Old Mu, Lei Dongtian was bewildered. His mental condition had plunged into a state of extreme shock. Within the excitement, his eyes were staring straight into the void before him, "I should have thought of it! This is the case, I see. It"s actually the Bone of the Saber G.o.d. The Bone of the Saber G.o.d does exist!"
"The mystery of the Four Seasons Tower is getting increasingly complicated. First, there is someone of heaven realm who is enlightened of the fief, now there is the Bone of the Saber G.o.d!"
"Yes, yes. Since there is the Bone of the Saber G.o.d, there will naturally be the Bone of the Snow G.o.d. No wonder. No wonder he could comprehend the power of fief even just being in the realm of heaven! So that is why!"
Old Mu was confused: What was this Bone of the Saber G.o.d? Could you explain it in a word or two before becoming all aghast?
Lei Dongtian had finally recovered. Inhaling the chilled air, he uttered, "Treat your wounds first. I will speak slowly.
"Let us return to the Residence of Yun!"
...
Upon seeing the two men who had almost lost their human figures by covering themselves with blood and wounds, Yun Yang exclaimed in shock, "…Brother….Brother Lei?!"
With an extremely tired look, Lei Dongtian uttered, "Brother Yun ... I am ashamed ..."
"How ... How did you end up like this?" exclaimed Yun Yang in shock, "Someone please come, faster, bring some healing medicine... quickly, get them to their rooms!"
Consecutive greetings followed one after another.
Lei Dongtian tried to forcefully stabilize his stature. Majestically, he uttered, "Don’t bother, we have all of these healing medicine. Help us find a quiet room, that will do ... Well, send another person to help us look at the wounds on our backs…"
"Alright. Sure…Quick, quick. Faster... " Yun Yang was solemn, "Brother Lei, who could be cruel to this extent? My G.o.d ... how can there be so many wounds?"
Lei Dongtian and Old Mu were in pain. On the other hand, Yun Yang just remained calm, as if nothing unusual had happened, and the incident was in no way peculiar.
At this point in time, perhaps only the person who understood Yun Yang the most would know. The face of Yun Yang was now a pale white. His body had seemed to be slightly trembling. He appeared as if he was trying to support himself forcefully.
Also, the glow in his eyes had dimmed significantly.
The effort that Yun Yang had made in the imposition of blame earlier had not reduced! With a single action to expose him, he would have been attacked immediately.
Similar to Lei Dongtian, Yun Yang"s whole body was now covered with wounds. His dantian was almost exhausted, like a lamp which had depleted its oil.
Yet he talked and laughed as though nothing had happened, displaying no signs of abnormality.
In the room, although both Lei Dongtian and Old Mu seemed to have suffered serious injuries, without having a single clean spot across their bodies, their wounds had yet to reach the fundamental organs.
Through the application of medicine, consumption of medicinal pills and wounds wrapping, both of them had regained their decent looks. Their conditions were great, and their spirits were invigorated.
"Fortunately, we have Brother Yun here with us, giving a place for us to stay and to have peace of mind..." Lei Dongtian felt extremely fortunate, "Fortunately, we had paid heed to the words of Brother Yun. If not, although we might not have perished in the battle today, to suffer more of these external wounds would be inevitable."
Yun Yang was busy, issuing his orders non-stop.
Lao Mei and Bai Yixue, who were disguised as guards with frighteningly dark faces could be seen running around, executing the orders.
Upon seeing all this, Lei Dongtian was inexplicably touched.
The fact that I was hurt this time had made Brother Yun so anxious and terrified. He is terribly concerned about me indeed. To be concerned about someone, he would then be in chaos, and to be in chaos, it meant that he was genuine ...
` With such a brother, what else in this life could you ask for?
To have this brother in my cultivation, the chances of success would absolutely be higher over time.
"This situation is unexpected. Initially, we were in the superior position and was in control of the overall situation ... " Lei Dongtian sighed, "However, little did we expect... that the other had a hidden trick!"
Yun Yang worriedly uttered, "Don’t care about what kind of tricks they are. Brother Lei, I think it’s better for you to hurriedly call the people from your family. Pardon me, but the strength that has been displayed by the Four Seasons Tower is but only a tip of the iceberg, it is still far from its real strength. I am extremely worried about this .. Brother Lei, you and I are treating one another with sincerity. I really do not wish to see you ..."
While uttering that halfway, Yun Yang decided not to continue, as he felt that it was unfortunate to say so.
Lei Dongtian soothingly said, "Rest a.s.sured brother. It is really a surprise this time. However, if there is a next time, I will have had the countermeasures ready even if they have a greater and superb tactic. To be careless once is more than enough, how will I repeat the same mistakes again?"
"Frankly speaking, we have really underestimated the strength of the Four Seasons Tower this time. That’s why we didn’t make any full preparations." Lei Dongtian was extremely upset, "I didn"t even wear my Celestial Garb ...that was too careless indeed!"
Old Mu rolled his eyes in agreement.
You left such a treasured coat that was able to s.h.i.+eld you against swords, water, and fire untouched. Please do not blame me for not being able to protect you well...
Considering that the wounds I suffered were more serious than yours, how could I be deemed as failing to protect you?
Upon seeing that the both of them were filled with vigor, Yun Yang seemed to feel a sense of relief. He then said, "It is great that both of you are fine. The situation earlier really terrified me."
Lei Dongtian beamed lightly. In a tone filled with warmth, he said, "It is my sin to have terrified my brother."
