879 The Might of the Blood God (1/2)
The appearance of the silhouette was very sudden and very fast. It approached almost instantly and killed the snake demon with a single slash of his sword.
Mo Wen narrowed his eyes. His expression became completely serious.
He could sense that this white-robed silhouette was rather frightening. The pressure that emanated from him far surpassed that of Lord Merciless. This person's cultivation must be at the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm and he was also skillful in combat. He gave off a sense of unparalleled sharpness.
”I helped you kill this snake demon. Leave half of your points as payment.”
The white-robed silhouette landed gracefully on top of a tree. He had his back to Mo Wen as he spoke in an indifferent but assured tone. He did not give Mo Wen any option.
”I did not ask you to help me kill the snake demon. What payment is there to speak of?” Mo Wen said expressionlessly. He had already realized that this person was clearly also here for points. However, compared to Lord Merciless's savage robbery method, this way was slightly better.
”If I had not killed the snake demon, you would most likely have been killed by it. Is your life not worth half your points?” the white-robed silhouette said plainly.
”Such a joke. How do you know that the snake demon would have killed me? Also, just now, only when the snake demon was unleashing its strongest attack at me and when its power was weakened did you seize the opportunity to kill it. What were you doing before that? Moreover, I did not need your help.”
Mo Wen coldly laughed inside. This white-robed silhouette was indeed very powerful. When he had killed the snake demon with one slash of his sword just now, he appeared awe-inspiring, but, in reality, he had been taking advantage of Mo Wen. If it wasn't for the fact that the snake demon hadn't just unleashed its most powerful attack and wasn't expecting an attack from this white-robed man, it wouldn't have been killed so easily?
”You must give me the points whether you want to or not. You have no choice.”
The white-robed silhouette suddenly turned around. His gaze was like two sharp longswords as he coldly looked at Mo Wen. If it was an ordinary ancient martial art practitioner, that gaze would probably make them go weak at the knees. It would feel as if two sharp swords were being held at their throats.
Mo Wen also felt the sword Qi-like sharpness of the person's gaze but remained calm. He had seen many strong practitioners. This was not enough to scare him.
”If you want to do business by force, you are dealing with the wrong person,” Mo Wen said. The ability of this white-robed swordsman was rather astonishing. However, he did not seem to be on the scoreboard. Clearly, this person was the type who stayed hidden early on and would only come out to plunder others' gains during the later stages.
Some strong practitioners would rather deal with participants that were weaker than them than find criminals. One could certainly take more points from the hands of participants than from criminals. Of course, only people with the ability could do so.
”You are very brave. However, I said that I will take away half of your points. That is exactly what I will do.”
The white-robed swordsman glanced at Mo Wen, then his silhouette disappeared from its original spot. The next moment, a blade of sword Qi shot over, seemingly able to tear apart the very fabric of space.
Mo Wen's expression was serious. This white-robed man was extremely powerful. Mo Wen was certainly no match for him. He had also been injured by the snake demon, so his combat ability was also reduced somewhat.
A cold wind swept up and Mo Wen's silhouette became a blur. The next moment, his entire person disappeared from his original spot. The sword Qi passed through his afterimage.
”Huh? Rite of passage movement techniques.”
The white-robed silhouette looked at Mo Wen in slight astonishment. Mo Wen had mastered rite of passage movement techniques at such a young age. This was not easy to pull off. Rite of passage movement techniques were miraculous, but it was rather difficult to comprehend them. Up until now, even the white-robed silhouette had not managed to comprehend a single rite of passage movement technique. Although the youth strong practitioners that he knew of that were proficient in movement techniques had mastered rite of passage movement techniques, they were not as young as this youth.
”We shall meet again.”
Mo Wen snorted coldly. Knowing that he was not a match for this white-robed silhouette made it impossible for Mo Wen to risk exchanging blows with him anymore. He immediately chose to escape. He could not defeat this person, but if Mo Wen focused on escaping, the other party would not necessarily be able to keep him here.
As Mo Wen spoke, his entire person had already merged with the wind. Everywhere the wind was, his silhouette seemed to be there. In an instant, he had traversed a thousand meters.
”Trying to escape? Do you think it's going to be that easy? Leave half your points behind like a good boy. I am considered rather merciful. Anyone else would most likely have taken all your points away. They might not have even spared your life.”
The white-robed swordsman laughed softly as he took a few steps forward. His movements were miraculous. In one step, he traversed a few hundred meters. In a few steps, he had caught Mo Wen up by a sizable amount. Although he did not comprehend any rite of passage martial arts, he also had some achievements when it came to movement techniques. Moreover, the difference between their cultivations was so large. Even if Mo Wen mastered rite of passage movement techniques, he would not necessarily have much of an advantage.
”Humph, if I want to leave, you can't keep me here by yourself.”
Mo Wen coldly snorted. Streaks of lightning suddenly emerged from his body. The aura of his entire person suddenly surged and doubled. His speed also exploded instantly, allowing him to pull a distance away from the white-robed swordsman.
”Another rite of passage level secret technique! As expected, you are not ordinary.” A look of surprise flashed in the white-robed swordsman's eyes.
After unleashing the Glory of Thunder, Mo Wen's Glory of Wind was even more incredible. It is said that once one cultivated the Glory of Wind to a later stage, one could comprehend the Wind Technique. That was a famous and remarkable technique, even in the Immortal Cultivation World. Allowing one to come and go without a trace, the Wind Technique was one of the Immortal Cultivation World's most renowned techniques.
Back then, the Star Emperor not only mastered the Wind Technique, but also the Thunder Technique. Wind brought along thunder. When the Glory of Wind and the Glory of Thunder were combined, one could comprehend the even rarer Thunder Technique.
Although Mo Wen was still far from achieving that realm, the Glory of Thunder and the Glory of Wind came from the same source. Wind brought along thunder and the two elements complemented each other. When Mo Wen unleashed the Glory of Thunder, the Glory of Wind also increased by a level in an instant.
”I want to see which is faster: your movements or my sword.”
A look of interest flashed in the eyes of the white-robed swordsman. The longswords in his hands trembled slightly. The next moment, countless beams of sword Qi appeared everywhere. The sword Qi seemed to combine with the very fabric of space. They were rather animated and instantly flew out a great distance and immediately caught up with Mo Wen.
The beams of sword Qi were like shrouds of rain. They instantly surrounded Mo Wen.
