Chapter 48 – Reactive Strike (2/2)

Right at this moment, a figure was suddenly teleported out of the paG.o.da. Everyone focused their gaze over and noticed that it was the woman in a green dress called Qingxue.

Right when a woman at the side intended to support Qingxue up, Cao Huo’s figure suddenly arrived by Qingxue’s side, and he waved his hand to the woman to indicate that she should withdraw herself from here.

As he gazed at Qingxue that had sat down cross-legged upon leaving the paG.o.da, his gaze burned with antic.i.p.ation, and it was even to the extent that his hands had started to tremble.

When they noticed Cao Huo acting in this way, Elder Qian and Feng Yu felt that something was absolutely off. They naturally wouldn’t think that Cao Huo had taken a liking to the woman. So, the two of them arrived by Qingxue’s side, and when they took a closer look, both of them instantly reacted like how Cao Huo had.

At this moment, Qingxue sat cross-legged on the ground while energy fluctuated unusually in her surroundings, and Qingxue’s own aura was rising steadily. Obviously, this was a sign of breaking through in one’s cultivation. Qingxue was already at the ninth rank of the Mortal Realm, so if she broke through again, it would be the First Heaven Realm!

When they thought up to this point, everyone in the surroundings gasped.

There was already a First Heaven Realm expert in the paG.o.da, yet another was advancing outside the paG.o.da right now.

How heaven defying!

The young man with a round face said with a trembling voice, “Two First Heaven Realm experts at the age of 16. Could… could this be two more of that ‘demonic woman’ in the making?”

Qin Feng who stood at the side shook his head and said, “A First Heaven Realm expert at the age of 16 can indeed be considered a genius. However, if they’re compared to that demonic woman, then they’re probably quite inferior. When that demonic woman challenged the Sword Servant PaG.o.da, she hadn’t even attained the First Heaven Realm. She was able to ascend to the 20th level without attaining the First Heaven Realm. What does that represent? It represents that she can surmount a realm to defeat a First Heaven Realm expert while at the Mortal Realm!”

The young man with a round face nodded in agreement and said, “Indeed, that demonic woman is only at the First Heaven Realm now, yet she’d been able to fight experts at the King Realm. Such natural talent can probably already be considered to be extremely good even within the Origin School and two palaces. Even though these two people are at the First Heaven Realm, if they really fought that demonic woman while she was at the Mortal Realm, then the two of them would probably be defeated!”

“No matter what, their natural talent isn’t bad. If they don’t perish in the future, then they ought to be the ones to take up the Sword Sect’s banner in the next Ascension Rankings!” Qin Feng spoke indifferently.

“Indeed! Alas! The Ascension Rankings! We have to work hard as well, otherwise, we’ll be playing the role of cannon fodder even if we did attend it….”

At the 17th level, Yang Ye still didn’t move, whereas, the Sword Servant remained on the spot without moving like a puppet. The two of them were in a stalemate for a very long time now.

At a certain moment in time, Yang Ye suddenly opened his eyes. He formed a sword with the fingers on his left hand before lightly slas.h.i.+ng it towards the Sword Servant, and then a strand of sword qi instantly arrived before the Sword Servant.

A cold glow flashed as the sword qi vanished, yet the Sword Servant still didn’t move.

Yang Ye walked slowly towards the Sword Servant. He didn’t utilize a movement technique and just seemed as if he was taking a stroll as he walked slowly towards the Sword Servant. When he arrived within an area of 6m before the Sword Servant, the Sword Servant attacked.

A cold glow flashed, and then the tip of a sword that flickered with a ghastly cold glow appeared before Yang Ye.

At the instant that the Sword Servant attacked, Yang Ye’s right hand had moved as well.

Swis.h.!.+

A sharp sound of the air being torn apart resounded, and then the tip of the Sword Servant’s sword stopped before Yang Ye’s neck. After that, the Sword Servant’s body gradually vanished.

Yang Ye touched his neck lightly with his left hand, and then he noticed that the tip of his finger was covered in a bit of scarlet red.

My speed is still slightly inadequate! As he gazed at the bit of scarlet red on his finger, Yang Ye muttered in a low voice. If he was just a little bit slower during the collision with that Sword Servant, then he would have been stopped at the 17th level.

Yang Ye didn’t rest and stepped onto the stairs towards the 18th level.
