Chapter 288: Xiao Yi Takes Action
The formidable giant blade disappeared into the high sky.
The oppressive presence around Wanshan Sword Master and Fierce Tiger Sword Master had finally vanished.
The two of them also let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Zhong Wuyou fainted.
Xiao Yi quickly held him, took out several Elixir Elixirs, and placed them into his mouth.
Now, Xiao Yi finally had a clear sense of Zhong Wuyou's Cultivation.
It was only Mystic Breakthrough Seventh Layer.
Clearly, he had used some sort of Secret Technique to forcibly enhance his strength.
His Martial Soul was that of the Sky-reaching Tree.
In this vast forest, this was simply the best battlefield for him.
Just like Zhou Yueyao previously in Nine River County.
Though she only had the cultivation of Mystic Breakthrough Seventh Layer, with the help of the power of the nine great rivers,
she almost became unbeatable among those at Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer.
However, Zhou Yueyao at that time was only borrowing the power of the river,
not fighting in the river itself.
Thus, the amplification was greatly reduced.
Whereas Zhong Wuyou was directly fighting within the forest.
Every single tree in the forest was a source of his power.
This entire forest was Zhong Wuyou's powerful backing.
Or more precisely,
what Wanshan Sword Master and Fierce Tiger Sword Master were dealing with just now was this entire forest.
This forest, located beside the Sky-splitting Sword Sect,
was often a place where disciples of the sect came to meditate.
Even some elders, who liked the quiet here, would also come to meditate and cultivate.
Over countless years, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy of this forest, influenced by numerous strong individuals of the Sword Sect, had already become exceptionally concentrated.
This was the so-called, "A mountain need not be high; it is a spirit if it has immortals."
This was the reason Zhong Wuyou was able to completely overshadow Wanshan Sword Master and Fierce Tiger Sword Master before.
Sadly, Zhong Wuyou was only from Shadow Tower.
Even though he had traveled around to gain experience for two years, he still had not acquired any Advanced Martial Arts.
Naturally, when facing the two men's Earth-rank Peak Martial Techniques, he couldn't defend himself.
That forced him to use the Secret Technique.
Absorbing the Spiritual Energy within the forest into his body for his own use, amplifying his Cultivation.
The power of that terrifying giant blade just now,
definitely reached above the Earth Element Third Layer.
This was not something Zhong Wuyou with his Mystic Breakthrough Seventh Layer Cultivation could control.
If that giant blade had fallen,
both Wanshan Sword Master and Fierce Tiger Sword Master would have been either dead or crippled.
But Zhong Wuyou would also have been severely injured or even killed by the backlash.
Luckily, Xiao Yi intervened in time.
The giant blade did not fall, and the backlash did not occur.
Now, after taking the Elixir Elixirs, it wouldn't be long before Zhong Wuyou would wake up.
On another side,
Wanshan Sword Master and Fierce Tiger Sword Master, now without an enemy,
Fierce Tiger Sword Master gave Xiao Yi a clasped-hand salute, saying, "Northern Mountain Sword Master."
"Thanks for this time."
"If you need anything in the future, just ask."
After speaking, Fierce Tiger Sword Master looked at the unconscious Zhong Wuyou.
He muttered to himself uneasily, "This guy, he's pretty crazy."
Then he sat down cross-legged to heal his wounds.
However, Wanshan Sword Master, didn't say a single word to Xiao Yi.
He didn't heal,
but instead went directly to Meteor Sword Master.
They joined forces to deal with Jie Mo.
Although Wanshan Sword Master was slightly injured, it didn't greatly affect his combat strength.
He launched a 'Wanshan Sword Seal.'
Coupled with Meteor Sword Master's attack,
soon, they defeated Jie Mo.
Wanshan Sword Master didn't stop, thrusting forth with his sword, aiming straight for Jie Mo's throat.
Jie Mo, just knocked back, had no time to defend.
However, Jie Mo was no ordinary person.
Unable to block, he dropped to the ground and rolled,
awkwardly rolling several times on the ground to dodge the fatal sword.
"Despicable." After swallowing a mouthful of dirt and standing up with a face full of mud, Jie Mo said with a murderous look.
"Fight me one-on-one if you dare."
"Humph," Wanshan Sword Master scoffed, "Your companion has already lost."
"Why would I be so foolish to fight you one-on-one?"
"You…" Jie Mo's face turned cold.
Meteor Sword Master then frowned slightly, "Wanshan Sword Master, I can handle Jie Mo alone."
"Go and help the other Sword Sect disciples."
Wanshan Sword Master shook his head, saying, "Let's capture Jie Mo first."
"This guy, along with that guy in the black robe earlier, actually snatched the sword points of 10 Sword Masters."
"He has an abundance of sword points on him."
"Humph," Wanshan Sword Master said proudly, "Didn't you say earlier, if defeated, Jie Mo would be useless?"
"Looks like you are the same as that waste in the black robe."
"You were saying how powerful the martial artists from Northern Mountain County are, and I had no right to comment."
"What now?"
"Now, Jie Mo, prepare to die."
Jie Mo clenched his teeth, feeling extremely angry in his heart.
If it were one-on-one, he wouldn't fear Wanshan Sword Master at all.
Just at this moment, a figure rushed over.
A sword swung out.
With a clang, it forced the Wanshan Sword Master back by more than a dozen steps.
"Northern Mountain Sword Master?" Wanshan Sword Master coldly stared at Xiao Yi.
The person who had arrived was indeed Xiao Yi.
"What are you doing?" Wanshan Sword Master coldly said, "Do you plan to help this looting group?"
"This would mean making enemies with all the Sword Masters."
"You are also one of the Sword Masters."
"Think carefully."
Xiao Yi shrugged, saying, "I have no such intention."
"But, I don't mind you thinking that."
"Of course, I also want to tell you."
"Just how formidable the martial artists of the Northern Mountain County are."
"And to see if you are truly qualified."
"To talk about my Northern Mountain County."
With his last words, Xiao Yi's tone became icy.
"Northern Mountain Sword Master, you misunderstand," Meteor Sword Master hurriedly said.
"Wanshan Sword Master's words were only aimed at the person in the black robe just now."
"Exactly," Wanshan Sword Master arrogantly said, "Northern Mountain Sword Master."
"Hand over the young man in the black robe that you're holding."
"What if I say I won't?" Xiao Yi coldly said.
"Won't?" Wanshan Sword Master's expression changed, "That guy has taken all my sword points."
"So what?" Xiao Yi coldly retorted.
"I naturally want to take back my sword points," Wanshan Sword Master said.
"Hehe," Xiao Yi gave a cold laugh.
"As Wanshan Sword Master previously said."
"In this world, the fist is the ultimate truth."
"Strength is respected."
"He took your sword points through his true capabilities, why should he return them?"
Wanshan Sword Master coldly laughed, "But he has already lost and is unconscious now."
"I can easily take back the sword points."
"But I haven't lost," Xiao Yi coldly said.
"What does it have to do with you?" Wanshan Sword Master retorted.
"He is a martial artist of my Northern Mountain County," Xiao Yi firmly said.
"I believe he has the right to join the Sword Sect."
"His ranking should even be above yours."
"You scoundrel," Wanshan Sword Master yelled angrily.
"Northern Mountain Sword Master, it seems you are indeed determined to side with them."
"Wanshan Sword Seal."
Wanshan Sword Master made his move in an instant.
Xiao Yi, with an indifferent face, lightly shook the Unrivaled Sword in his hand.
A torrent of sword sounds was unleashed.
That towering mountain turned instantly into powder in the sky.
Turning into a sky full of dust falling down.
At the same moment.
From afar, dozens of figures rushed over.
It was Zhou Yueyao, Sword Master Xingmo, Ye Ming, and others.
"Wanshan Sword Master, get lost," Sword Master Xingmo bellowed.
A figure landed, hurriedly coming to Jie Mo's side, anxiously inquiring.
"Brother, are you alright?"
"Brother?" Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow.
When he was using Yi Xiao's identity.
He once checked the information and records of various Sword Masters at the Demon Hunting Hall.
There was a rumor that Jie Mo and Sword Master Xingmo were cousins.
Jie Mo was originally a disciple of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect and was even hailed as the number one talent of Xingmo County.
However, it seemed that later on, for his cousin, he left the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.
Afterward, this cousin rose within the sect and eventually became Sword Master Xingmo.
At the time, Xiao Yi doubted the credibility of this rumor.
Now it seemed to be true.
At the same time, Xiao Yi was also puzzled.
Xingmo County was in no way inferior to Meteor County or Fierce Tiger County.
How could its Sword Master only be at the Mystic Breakthrough Seventh Layer, so weak?
Now it seemed, if the Sword Master was instead Jie Mo, it all made perfect sense.
No wonder previously, while observing the battle from the shadows, Sword Master Xingmo said to hold off on helping temporarily.
It turned out, he intended to let Jie Mo snatch more sword points.
You know, at that time, Jie Mo and others, confronting the Sword Master team, indeed had the upper hand.
At this moment, Wanshan Sword Master angrily looked toward Meteor Sword Master.
Saying, "Meteor Sword Master, let's join forces and take these guys down."
"Humph, siding with these looting teams, against our own Sword Master teams."
"After this, you few Sword Masters, don't expect to raise your heads in the Sword Sect."
At this time.
Fierce Tiger Sword Master, who had been meditating and healing.
Suddenly leaped over, then stood beside Xiao Yi.
"Wanshan Sword Master, stop it," Fierce Tiger Sword Master earnestly said.
"This time, I choose to stand with Northern Mountain Sword Master."
"You..." Wanshan Sword Master's face turned extremely unsightly.
...
...
Sixth update, to be continued tomorrow.
In the last chapter, the Martial Soul of Jie Mo should have been Fire Demon Tiger.
But I wrote too fast and made a slip of the pen.
Sorry.
