Chapter 97 - Lu Sulan Lending A Helping Hand
"Don"t come closer!" s.h.i.+ti Xibo has lost his confidence after seeing that his Divine Weapon was ineffective in the face of Can Ye"s knife. Even his corpse puppet fell under one slash of the knife! Its sharpness was evident for being able to easily cut through the corpse puppet that was made from a dead body of a top expert and some other precious materials!
Although s.h.i.+ti Xibo"s strength was a realm higher than Can Ye"s, he was already drained of true essence after simultaneously controlling his puppet and wielding the stone coffin. On the other hand, Can Ye consumed a healing pill that renewed his strength and it even improved his cultivation level by a minor realm. Not to mention the knife of an unknown level that brought fear in his heart!
s.h.i.+ti Xibo"s thin legs trembled when he saw the cold expression of Can Ye. He could not help but look in a certain direction and shout angrily. "Elders, will you really just stand idly by and watch me die here?!"
Can Ye"s eyes flickered and he hurriedly dashed towards s.h.i.+ti Xibo. He felt that we wouldn"t have the chance to kill the old b.a.s.t.a.r.d if he wasted more time. He then kicked s.h.i.+ti Xibo who was busy calling for help and raised his knife in mid-air, his eyes gleamed coldly.
"Friend, stay your hand!" A voice echoed nearby, but Can Ye ignored the warning and swiftly swung the knife downwards, aiming to cut off s.h.i.+ti Xibo"s head!
"Diiiee!"
s.h.i.+ti Xibo felt scared and he hurriedly raised the stone coffin in an attempt to block the knife. This stone coffin might look ordinary on the surface but it was still a genuine Divine Weapon. It could block the attack of weapons at a similar level, but were the blades of the Supreme Eternal Knife Set on the same level as it?
When the knife"s blade struck the surface of the stone coffin, it sliced through effortlessly and cut the st.u.r.dy stone coffin in half!
s.h.i.+ti Xibo"s eyes popped out of their sockets, but before he could scream in terror, the knife had already sliced through his neck!
s.h.i.+ti Xibo still had a look of horror as his severed head rolled on the ground. In his last moments, he saw his headless corpse with huge amounts of blood streaming from his neck ceaselessly. At that final instant, his two eyes burst out of their sockets after seeing the dreadful scene!
Can Ye let out a deep breath after killing s.h.i.+ti Xibo. He then glanced at the sky and basked his face with the warm rays from the sunlight. He appeared to have reached an epiphany, making his cultivation rise by another small realm. He was now at the late stage of 6th-rank King!
"Insolent b.a.s.t.a.r.d! How dare you kill an elder of our Undying Corpse Sect?!" An enraged voice reverberated behind Can Ye. He immediately backed away after sensing an attack aimed his way.
"Baang!!"
The place where he previously stood became a huge pit, and even s.h.i.+ti Xibo"s body was flattened into meat paste! What a vicious attack!
Can Ye"s heart palpitated wildly as he glanced at the three silhouettes walking towards him.
Among the three was a short old man in his fifties, but was only as tall as a ten-year-old kid. What was abnormal about him was his muscular right arm that was at least five times thicker than his body! It was definitely not his own arm, but the arm of a certain savage beast forcefully attached to his body!
Behind the short old man were two ordinary-looking old men that looked to be in their sixties. They were giving off a dangerous presence that screamed with cruelty. One of them was holding a sickle and the other had a short sword strapped behind his back.
It was clear that it was the shorty who had landed an attack after seeing the furious look on his face. The dwarf"s name was Da Bi. The one with with the sickle was Mu Bai and the last one was Cai Jun.
If not for Can Ye"s fast reaction speed, he might have already become a mangled and b.l.o.o.d.y mess...
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You actually disregarded this old lord"s warning?! Are you deaf?!" Da Bi shouted with boiling hatred in his gaze.
"Such bold words coming from the man who had just desecrated his companion"s dead body." A gentle voice similar to a siren"s whisper drifted, causing Can Ye and the other three to feel surprised.
"Swoos.h.!.+"
A graceful figure landed in front of Can Ye, making the latter smell a delicate womanly scent, fragrant and refres.h.i.+ng.
Lu Sulan glanced at Can Ye curiously and smiled at him. She was feeling mystified at this junior brother of his who looked like an ordinary middle-aged man with a resolute countenance. "Just how did he manage to gain master"s recognition?"
Can Ye furrowed his eyebrows in surprise after sensing Lu Sulan"s cordial att.i.tude, but when he recalled the man with long silver hair, he roughly understood who she was. "She should be someone working under that man or she might even be his disciple." After reaching that kind of thought, Can Ye"s expression turned respectful.
"For someone at the 6th-rank King realm to kill a 7th-rank Emperor realm, you have great potential." Lu Sulan said while looking at Can Ye with a mild look.
She had seen Can Ye"s fight with s.h.i.+ti Xibo and she was impressed by the former"s unyielding and resolute att.i.tude. "It should be the reason why master acknowledged this guy..." She muttered in her heart.
Can Ye"s expression remained neutral even in the presence of a great beauty. His heart was only with the saber...
"I dare not accept your praise, young miss." Can Ye said humbly. He knew that he only won the fight because of the knife that Jiu Shen gave him, so he wasn"t the least bit arrogant even after winning.
"You two insolent fools!" Da Bi"s face darkened after having been ignored by Lu Sulan and Can Ye. He was an expert at the peak stage of the 7th-rank Emperor realm, but he was actually brutally ignored by the two bugs in front of him! So outrageous!
Da Bi"s anger was on the verge of exploding but he held himself back because he could not see through Lu Sulan"s cultivation level...
"Just how strong is this woman?" He thought to himself.
