Chapter 2371: Capture Tuoba Liuming First
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
After Zi Xiao, Ling Chang, and the disciples of Ultimate Supreme Being Palace had left, the people who had gathered near the Great Sword Sepulcher started to leave as well.
Some of them felt that it was impossible for Su Mo to show up.
“c.r.a.p!”
Tuoba Liuming clenched his fists and he refused to accept the outcome. He had the highest cultivation level among the people but he had failed badly. There was a high possibility that Qin Yun had gotten ahold of the Ultimate Sword Art.
Not acceptable!
He could not accept the outcome.
He should have killed Qin Yun earlier!
“Tuoba Liuming, Qin Yun will definitely be out. However, we have no idea where he will come from!” Yun Mu said softly. She shared the same sentiment as Tuoba Liuming.
After all, all the swordsmen would want to get ahold of the Ultimate Sword Art.
“You might as well not make any comment!” Tuoba Liuming said coldly. Of course Qin Yun will be out. He will not want to spend the rest of his life in the Great Sword Sepulcher!
However, no one knew where Qin Yun would come from as the Deity Plane occupied a large area.
“Tuoba Liuming, let’s search the neighboring area. Qin Yun may come out from anywhere nearby.” Gu Jianshan said. He wanted to find Su Mo as well so that he could take a look at the secret to the Ultimate Sword Art.
“Alright!” Tuoba Liuming nodded. It was possible for Qin Yun to appear in the area and thus it would be better for them to search around.
After the three of them had had a discussion, they immediately searched around for Su Mo.
As for Gongsun Jia, he did not join Tuoba Liuming and the two. He had chosen to leave Ultimate Sword Domain.
…
Su Mo sat cross-legged on the gra.s.sland and pondered.
He was well aware of the might of the Ultimate Sword Art and he was considering whether or not he should get ahold of the Sacred Weapon, which was the Ultimate Holy Sword.
The Ultimate Holy Sword and the Sword Origin were closely connected to each other and he only had to trigger his thoughts to summon the Ultimate Holy Sword.
However, the Ultimate Holy Sword was the mountain gate of the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace. There would be a commotion if he took it away.
I shall capture Tuoba Liuming before I get my hands on the Ultimate Holy Sword! After a while, Su Mo came to a decision.
He wanted to capture Tuoba Liuming not because Tuoba Liuming had attacked him. Su Mo did not bear a grudge against Tuoba Liuming for doing so.
He believed that Tuoba Liuming and Tuoba Qingyun were related to each other.
Su Mo wanted to capture Tuoba Liuming so that he could make use of him in the future.
As for the Ultimate Holy Sword, there would be an uproar if he took it away. Thus, it would be better for him to capture Tuoba Liuming first before taking the Sword away.
Having decided upon that, Su Mo flew toward the Great Sword Sepulcher in a flash.
Through the Sword Origin, Su Mo could sense the exact location of Holy Sword Mountain and the Great Sword Sepulcher.
When Su Mo flew up to the sky, he changed his looks and aura and became an ugly-looking, skinny youth.
He had to be cautious as there would be a commotion over him reaching the peak and obtaining the Sword Origin.
Su Mo was not far from the Great Sword Sepulcher and he reckoned that he would be able to reach it in an hour.
As Su Mo was flying, he sensed the Illusion Primordial Spirit in his body and gradually gained some insight of its profundity.
The Illusion Primordial Spirit had the ability to transform itself and it was almost as powerful as the Heaven Illusionary Pill.
Su Mo activated the Illusion Primordial Spirit and the Heaven Illusionary Pill at the same time and they produced great results. It became more difficult for others to see through his disguise.
Su Mo was quick. Before long, he was getting near the Great Sword Sepulcher and he would occasionally meet some of the geniuses who had left the Sepulcher.
He gradually reduced his speed as he got closer.
He had to be cautious. After all, the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace would not let the matter rest and they might have already sent someone over.
After a while, Su Mo reached the Great Sword Sepulcher. From afar, he saw some people standing near the entrance of the Sepulcher.
He did not see any top powers from the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace and he had no idea if they had left. In any case, he was happy to see that they were not around.
Swoos.h.!.+
In a flash, Su Mo landed near the entrance to the Sepulcher.
“Excuse me, may I know if you have seen Brother Tuoba?”
Su Mo asked the people beside him when he did not see Tuoba Liuming around.
“He has just left with Gu Jianshan and Yun Mu!” Someone replied.
“In which direction have they gone?” Su Mo asked again politely.
“That way!” One of the geniuses pointed out the direction to Su Mo.
“Thank you!” Su Mo cupped his fist and thanked the genius. He rose up and went in the direction that Tuoba Liuming had taken.
He had not expected Tuoba Liuming, Yun Mu, and Gu Jianshan to leave together but that did not matter to him.
He had had a breakthrough in his cultivation level and was currently at Rank 3 True G.o.d Realm. On top of that, he had mastered the Ultimate Sword Art and was full of confidence.
“Sigh! I don’t think Qin Yun will show up!”
“He may have returned to Ultimate Supreme Being Palace!”
“Probably! Only the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace will know if he has obtained the secret to the Ultimate Sword Art!”
Su Mo left in a hurry but he could still hear the conversation among the people. Apparently, they were waiting for him.
Su Mo hastened his speed and went after Tuoba Liuming. He believed that he would be able to catch up with him.
Tuoba Liuming and the other two would not travel at great speed unless they were in a hurry.
As Su Mo had expected, after an hour, he saw three people at the other end.
They were two men and one woman. Su Mo was certain that the three of them were Tuoba Liuming, Yun Mu, and Gu Jianshan.
“Tuoba Liuming, I can’t wait to have a taste of your power!”
Su Mo said as a cold light flashed across his eyes. Although he was confident in himself, he would not take Tuoba Liuming lightly.
Earlier at Sword Mountain, Su Mo had had a taste of Tuoba Liuming’s strength.
However, the combat strength that Tuoba Liuming had displayed was less powerful than his as they were too close to each other.
Swoos.h.!.+
Su Mo moved as swiftly as the wind and he got near Tuoba Liuming and his two companions in no time.
“Eh?”
The three of them noticed Su Mo. They stopped flying and turned around to look at him.
However, when they saw that Su Mo was a Rank 3 Lower True G.o.d, they ignored him.
Whoos.h.!.+
In an instant, Su Mo was three kilometers in front of them.
“Who are you? Why are you following us?” Gu Jianshan asked as he sized Su Mo up.
“The two of you may leave. I am looking for him.” Su Mo said flatly as he looked Tuoba Liuming straight in the eyes.
His target was Tuoba Liuming and he was not interested in Gu Jianshan and Yun Mu.
Although Yun Mu had been nasty to him at Sword Mountain, Su Mo was not petty enough to brood over such trivial matters.
“Are you looking for me?” Tuoba Liuming was puzzled when he heard what Su Mo had said. He did not recognize Su Mo as he had disguised himself.
“What a haughty fellow!” Gu Jianshan’s face darkened. The skinny youth was merely a Rank 3 Lower True G.o.d but he showed no regard for him and Yun Mu.
Yun Mu’s face darkened as well. She was already feeling frustrated as Qin Yun had taken the secret to the Ultimate Sword Art.
However, a Rank 3 True G.o.d had appeared out of nowhere and he was behaving disrespectfully towards them. That infuriated her.
“Tuoba Liuming, let’s settle our scores this day!” Sword radiance flashed across Su Mo’s hand and a sword appeared.
Su Mo did not hide his ident.i.ty as his ident.i.ty would be exposed when he attacked Tuoba Liuming.
“Are you Qin Yun?”
When the three of them saw the sword, they asked in amazement.
They recognized the sword as it was the same sword that Qin Yun had used at Sword Mountain.
“That’s right. Were you not waiting for me to show up?” Su Mo lifted the sword in his hand and immense Chaotic Energy started to surge into it.
He knew that the three of them had been waiting for him to show up as they were enticed by the Ultimate Sword Art.
“Hahahaha…!”
Suddenly, Tuoba Liuming laughed loudly.
His long hair flew in the wind and he looked elated.
