501 Chops a Great Master in One Strike! (2/2)
Both these individuals were at the Great Master Level in terms of strength. So, the difference in their strengths hadn't been very massive at first. But, the old man had faced Mei Xue Yan, and had suffered injuries in the process; and, serious internal injuries at that! Consequently, he had lost at least thirty percent of his fighting strength.
More importantly, the Lords of the Three Holy Lands had cultivated these people behind closed doors. Therefore, it was very difficult to guess the disparity in the quality of battle experience they had acquired when compared to the Great Masters who had emerged from the ordinary society. But, it was certainly nothing compared to that of the Xuan Beast Kings of the Tian Fa Forest. And, this was the reason why this old man had fallen into such a disadvantageous situation so early in the battle.
”Forget about it. Let him leave,” Mei Xue Yan snorted coldly at first. She then continued, ”That Illusory Ocean of Blood is nothing to me. So, you might as well let him return and spread the news. What's the worst that could happen? Anyway, he'll try to threaten us with that Illusory Ocean of Blood's reprisals if you finish him right now.”
The Snake King heard that. So, she turned back her waist, and quickly retracted her attacking legs. That old man was almost done for by the tip of her toes. But, he was able to fly outside as a result of her retreat. He then jumped towards the perimeter walls in order to fly away as he continuously vomited blood whilst in mid-air. His Xuan Qi was in motion. In fact, it was cycling at an overloaded capacity. And, that had intensified his internal injuries.
His emotions had particularly left him with a desire to die here-and-now. After all, death ends all of one's troubles.
[Such disgrace!]
[I fought with everything I had. I even risked my life. But, I was only able to escape like a mere pawn who was at the mercy of the opposite side!]
Mei Xue Yan had certainly allowed him to leave. But, this didn't mean that the other people would too…
A brightly glittering sword suddenly appeared in the sky as that old man was attempting to cross the wall in midair!
This glittering sword's rays were extremely bright. In fact, they were like streaks of lightning in the sky.
The sound produced by the lightening-fast speed of this sword made it seem as if the sounds of thunder had exploded.
It was going to hit him midair!
That old man couldn't go up, and couldn't go down either. Moreover, he had started to believe that he had escaped this situation. So, he had started to rejoice, and this had led him to slack off to some extent. Also, the serious internal injuries he had suffered mustn't be negated from the equation. After all, the internal injuries suffered by his organs had seriously depleted his strength. Consequently, his aura had nearly dissipated by this time, and his strength hadn't returned. And, this meant that he was at his weakest at that point.
The timing of that glittering sword's appearance had been extremely clever; it was clever beyond an equal. In fact, the timing of that sword attack had attained perfection! It must be known that even a top-rated hitman wouldn't have been able to capitalize on such a fine moment of landing a sure-shot strike against a Great Master Level expert!
The sword's rays filled the air with murderous aura. And, the beard and hair of the old man were dyed jade-green under its reflection. Terror, extreme shock, and despair filled his face at this moment. But, he didn't even get the time to open his mouth in order to shout before it was all over…
That sword's rays shrouded the entire sky as it slashed down into the old man's right shoulder. However, the sword didn't stop there. Instead, it continued to cut forth like a knife through butter. Only a 'slashing' sound was heard as it cut down to his left rib. It radiance a bright luster as it again came in contact with empty air. Then, it issued a sword cry which sounded similar to the roar of a dragon. After that, it disappeared as swiftly as a dragon does when it enters the seas!
The Divine Sword — the Blood of Yellow Flame!
A white-clothed youngster quickly appeared outside Mei Xue Yan's room. But, his speed had made it seem as if he had been riding the very winds.
That place was no less than twenty meters away from the spot where he had attacked the black-clothed old man!
That black-clothed old man's body was still moving forward due to its momentum. But, his eyes resembled that of a dead fish. The upper-half of his body — including his shoulders, arms, and head — separated from the lower part of his body as he fell down. The upper-half of the body smashed into the wall first with a Bang! And, the lower-half followed after it with another Bang!
A blood of rain poured down from the sky!
The matter had been concluded!
The white-robed Jun Mo Xie had a warm and gentle expression on his face. He didn't even turn his head to look back as he entered the room in a leisurely and confident manner. He then smiled as he spoke, ”This is very embarrassing. This Jun Idiot's unsuitable protection must've left the two ladies startled…” Anyone would've considered this Jun Youngster to be a very innocent man if they hadn't witnessed that scene…
Young Master Jun had been busy with training and refining those pills for the past few days. In fact, he had been working himself to the point of blacking out. It was unknown whether it was due to his skill or pure luck… But, he had finally succeeded in refining the Vitality Linkage Pill. So, he was quite happy and excited about it. In fact, he was so happy that he had nearly emerged breathless from the Pagoda. However, that was when he had suddenly felt the two men moving towards Guan Qing Han's courtyard at a lightening-fast speed.
[It seems that my plan has been effective!] The Young Master had felt rather proud of himself at first. But, he then suddenly thought; [How are things with Tang Yuan? They wouldn't have…] He had quickly made his way out when this thought had crossed his mind.
He possessed the tactical sensibility and experience of a top-class assassin. So, he obviously knew when the best time to make a move was. So, he hid himself at the sidelines, and started to fry the pan hot with his cold hands. He managed to take advantage of the situation in the end, and his sharp sword ended-up slashing a Great Master Level expert into two halves!
