Chapter 567: Raising the Blade and Brandishing It

Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales

The inexplicable appearance of another young cultivator greatly astounded Dongbei Hu.

The attacks from this youngster also brought about a formidable strength, shocking him to the point that it was difficult to add up again.

Should I run away?

This idea crossed Dongbei Hu’s mind, but he immediately rejected it. He found that even though these two youngsters were not inferior to him, they were not much stronger than him either. The odds of winning may be extremely slim given that he had to face two adversaries, but it would also very difficult for them if they wanted to kill him.

Tang Xiu, who was quietly sitting on a chair, produced a piece of jade out of thin air upon seeing that the three had began to act. He then accurately threw it under the chair and activated the array he had arranged in advance. Along with the wake of a layer of light curtain that moved on the wall, the shockwaves created by the three’s fight was blocked by the array’s light curtain.

“I showed you the path to the gate of heaven, yet you chose to throw yourself to the gate of the underworld. Dongbei Hu, even if you can barely manage to retain your feeble existence and resist for some time you still won’t be able to protect them.”

Tang Xiu flicked two silver needles, directly piercing Yao Chengqing’s and Yao Xinhua’s glabella lightning fast. With his extremely exquisite control of the two silver needles, they didn’t directly kill them after it pierced their foreheads but stunned them, temporarily making them lose their consciousness instead.

“KILL HIM!!!”

One of the martial arts grandmasters of the Yao Family shouted. Although the mortal combat between the two youngsters and Dongbei Hu greatly shocked them, he saw the hope of killing Tang Xiu, as he drew his blade and aggressively darted toward him.

The rest of the dozens of experts of the Yao Family finally snapped back to their senses and followed that martial arts grandmaster. They never saw Tang Xiu display his strength, thus they thought he didn’t have any abilities despite having two formidable subordinates. As long as they could kill him, it would bring some effect to his two men. Once the experts in the fight had their focus disturbed they would be able to take care of them.

“DIE!!!”

An expert of the Yao Family, who was the first to sprint toward Tang Xiu, raised his blade to hack Tang Xiu, and his blade was as though about to cleave Tang Xiu’s body into two.

“Courting death!”

Tang Xiu’s expression turned cold. The sword image inscribed on his palm flushed away and pierced through the right side of the man’s chest. The sword was as if a roaming fish that shuttled back and forth unceasingly and struck the hearts of the dozen experts of the Yao Family that had yet to approach Tang Xiu. Along with their screaming, they fell to the floor, convulsed and died.

“Another flying sword?”

Dongbei Hu was still paying attention to Tang Xiu while fighting. What shocked him was that Tang Xiu also used a flying sword. He could hardly believe that such a divine weapon would exist in this world. It was even more difficult for him to accept that there were two of them today.

Who exactly are these people?

If the Tang Family really possessed such a formidable force, shouldn’t the Yao Family have been exterminated long ago? But why did the Tang Family kept showing that they were unable to raise their heads and come out of the pressure from the Yao Family for so many years?

When he was a bit distracted, a sword light suddenly pierced his arm. His face changed greatly as another sword light swept across to cleave him. At the same time, several silver needles flashed toward him like lightning bolts at the same time, and instantly appeared before Dongbei Hu, who was currently impeded by the sword light.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

Right after Dongbei Hu escaped from the sword light, those four lightning bolts silently pierced his body without creating any sounds. Those four lightning bolts didn’t directly penetrate his body, but messed up his internal organs instead.

Puff…

Blood crazily spurted out from Dongbei Hu’s mouth, as intense dread gushed out from his heart. The two flying swords suddenly broke out above his head as layers of sword images overlapped and spiraled toward his head.

“SCRAM!!!”

Out of desperation, Dongbei Hu punched the flashing sword images, but they were as though a meat grinder that crushed his fists to pieces. Along with a splattering mist of blood, a dark form appeared behind Dongbei Hu, as a sharp dagger pierced his waist the moment after. A hooked whip that was formed from True Essence took out his Golden Core in a flash and Dark neatly threw it to Tang Xiu, who was still sitting on the chair.

“Shake and seal!”

Tang Xiu’s eyes lit up as he constantly waved his hands. An array to isolate it was arranged in an instant and, at the same time, cut off the connection between the Golden Core and Dongbei Hu. He then quickly stored it inside his interspatial ring.

“Ah…”

This time Dongbei Hu was utterly desperate. Never once had he ever imagined that the two youngsters before him had so many fighting techniques. It was beyond his imagination that their collaboration was far beyond what he could fight against. From the beginning until now the fight lasted less than a minute, yet his Golden Core had already been snatched.
