Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nie Ting’s blade energy unparalleled even among the forebears as they were invented by himself. The path to such supreme swordplay cost him a whole thirty years and an unimaginable amount of hard work. And now, one slash of his sword could destroy all creatures on a piece of land.
And the slash against the divine punishment was, just like how Hai Gongzi had put it, unstoppable!
The sudden divine punishment was like a colossal will from the Heavens. As it clashed with Nie Ting’s blade energy, an enormous blast forced all stalks of grass towards the ground, leaving broken stems across the surface of the Earth.
The look on the Saint’s and the others’ faces turned serious. As Class A’s, all of them were aware what that slash meant. Standing tall on the peak of Class A, Nie Ting had mustered all his strength and was aiming to break through the juncture of life and death with a single slash!
He was invincible!
In an instant, the Saint and the Bishop made their moves at the same time. The Saint raised his hand and sent a gust of sharp blades of air towards Nie Ting.
The wild storm instantly turned black soils onto the surface. The sight was impressive!
Meanwhile, the Bishop held his staff high. Like chains, the silver radiance surrounded Nie Ting at once.
The Saint hissed at the Bishop, “Get lost.”
Fires burned in his eyes, as if taking Nie Ting’s life was a supreme honor.
His voice was filled with absolute confidence and arrogance. As the most powerful man in North America, he rejected any other Class A’s in joining his hunt of Nie Ting.
The Bishop replied with a grin. Then, the silver light wrapped the Saint inside as well.
“What an insignificant skill!” roared the Saint, as he separated the storm into two gusts and pushed one towards the Bishop. The explosion of the air was like the sound of a tsunami!
As expected, a battle broke out between the Saint and the Bishop. In an instant, the battlefield descended into chaos.
With a ring, broken stems of grass soared high into the sky. Tens of thousands of invisible aurablades fired out from Li Xianyi’s sea of chi. Each blade attached itself to a grass stalk and shot towards the Bishop. At that moment, everything between the Heaven and Earth could be Li Xianyi’s sword!
However, an unexpected twist happened at this instant. Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi, who had been looked on coldly since the start, suddenly took action. The two iron-clad puppets hurled their fists hard, distorting the atmosphere around. Their target was... Li Xianyi!
Cloud Yi laughed coldly from under her black cloak. “Do you still remember the rainy night 17 years ago?”
Tiger Zhi laughed loudly. “We, the Puppet Masters, will take our revenge today. We will slaughter the Golden Foundation after taking your life!”
In fact, there were internal conflicts between the Puppet Masters, which was inevitable given the immense power each one of them held. Nonetheless, all of them were united together as a group of lackeys under the throne. Moreover, they viewed this as their honor.
The Bishop scorned. “You always say that everyone under the throne is a lackey. Are you not speaking ill of yourselves too?”
Tiger Zhi dismissed him with a condescending laugh. “It is our honor to be lackeys for our King. And you, are not even qualified for this.”
It sounded contradicting, but more like a matter of fact when it came out of Tiger Zhi.
On the rainy night 17 years ago, they had come and waited patiently for a suitable chance. But an ambush took them by surprise. That night, out of the four Puppet Masters, two were killed in the fight, and it took more than a decade for the survivors to regain their power.
Despite their lack of cohesion as a team, it violated the will of the King to kill the other Puppet Masters. Thus, the desecrater would have to amend their wrongdoings with their life!
Li Xianyi’s robe flapped in the wind. The aurablades suddenly altered their trajectories and fired towards the iron puppets. Meanwhile, Chen Baili blocked the Saint’s way without hesitation.
A grand battle had broken out on the vast expanse of grassland like an unstoppable storm. As if no one else was around, Nie Ting soared into the sky and waved his blade relentlessly towards the divine strike from the Heaven.
His face was expressionless, but there was a sense of fearlessness in him. With each strike of his blade, he felt increasingly confident. Moreover, his vitality, which had opened up as he resonated with the Heaven and Earth, had now gathered together to form another universe.
In the past, every strike of his had to draw energy from his surroundings. But now, an enormous amount of Spirit Qi gushed into his body and was instantly assimilated with his own power!
At the center of this vast battlefield, Nie Ting was fully concentrated on his breakthrough. His attention was undivided!
At this moment, Nie Ting became the first truly powerful man after the thousands of years of magical deficiency!
It was totally unexpected that the first grand battle of the magical era had suddenly been ignited as Nie Ting completed his breakthrough. Everyone was craving for a change when Nie Ting was about to disrupt the balance of the cultivation world!
In the past, the cultivation realm was like a see-saw on which all powerful individuals or organizations were balanced by exerting influence on one another. But following Nie Ting’s breakthrough, the plank would tilt towards Nie Ting alone!
Li Xianyi let out a hearty laugh as he faced the two iron-clad puppets. “This is not your King’s world. Die!”
At that instant, the two puppets actually fell backwards under the impact of the tens of thousands of swords made of grass stalks. With a cold laugh, the two Puppet Masters joined forces and flew towards Li Xianyi. At the same time, wooden puppets sprang out of their sleeves towards Li Xianyi. The puppets pulled red strings across their arms, splitting the atmosphere apart.
At this critical moment, a lance of lightning shot towards them from the other side of the grassland. As Gungnir pierced through the air, the entire world seemed to be trembling under its force!
Tiger Zhi and Cloud Yi exchanged a brief look from under their cloaks and retreated immediately. When Li Xianyi tried to block them, he realized, to his surprise, that the Puppet Masters had suddenly lost all their interest in the fight, as if they had encountered an unexpected event.
Li Xianyi was confused. As the most powerful individuals, the Puppet Masters ought not to fear anyone. Moreover, they did not seem to be in fear. Rather, they simply had no intention to continue with the fight!
The battle between the two long-time enemies, the Golden Foundation and the Puppet Masters, ended just as quickly as how it started. In the blink of an eye, Coral had arrived, her silver-golden hair flying behind her. When Li Xianyi saw Coral, he asked hesitantly, “Are you Lu Shu’s...”
Coral blushed at once due to shyness. “I know you, Mr Li. But how do you know I like Lu Shu?”
Li Xianyi was stunned.
WHAT? What he had wanted to ask was whether she was the girl who had almost married Lu Shu... But now his train of thoughts had been disrupted!
What on Earth happened to this girl? Li Xianyi mused. The twist in conversation was so sudden that Li Xianyi did not know how to continue anymore...
Suddenly, Chen Baili, who was guarding Nie Ting, commented in a low voice from nearby, “Very good! This foreign girl speaks Chinese, not some weird language. Impressive!”
Coral was speechless.
Li Xianyi too.
