Chapter 67 - Chapter 67: Do not (2/2)

She still owed him two favours.

“Stop!”

Suddenly, a stern voice rang out, and a figure appeared as if of ghost, it was the Sword Slave who had been waiting nearby.

Among those present, only those of Third Grade and above knew how dangerous the situation was.

Even though it seemed as if a three-way standoff was taking place, they were, in fact, in the midst of a contest of martial willpower.

Gu Yang, a Third Grade, was on par with three Second Grade people. This was already astonishing.

If he did not see it with his own eyes, he would never believe that such a thing is possible.

The Sword Palace and the Wu Family’s Blade Tomb were known as the holy lands of swordsmanship and blade theory respectively, and there had been an undercurrent of rivalry between them.

It was evident that Gu Yang had nurtured a Blade Intent far superior to his own abilities using the Hidden Knife Style.

But this boy was only a few years old? How could he have nourished such a terrifying Blade Intent?

While he was still in shock, he saw Xu Ruomei breaking into the dueling area, this sudden turn of events was too horrendous.

Her action undoubtedly disrupted the balance among the four fighters, setting off this powder keg. The resulting force was something that even he could not withstand.

“Hidden Knife Style!”

On the nearest rooftop, Elder Wu arrived just in time to see the scene and couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

He could tell at a glance that the Gu Yang in front of him was indeed the same person he had previously met.

This man’s cultivation level was indeed Third Grade.

Of course, this was not important anymore.

Nothing was more shocking than the current scene, where Gu Yang, a mere Third Grade, had three Second Grades on edge and immobile.

These three Second Grades were very well-known.

MO Yu, the Lin Family’s retainer. A man of exceptional talent who could have reached First Rank, but his unfortunate background kept him serving the Lin Family.

Chu Xiyue, the number one on the Hidden Dragon List. Ever since her debut, she had fought numerous battles, big and small, without a single loss.

Wu Xingyun, the second on the Hidden Dragon List. A bastard son of King Jinghai and a graduate of the Martial Arts Academy, he was known as the second most talented student in the history of the academy.

These three fighters could usually outperform any other Second Grades. Yet, they were now being suppressed by a Third Grade.

Lin Zirui whose cultivation level was too low to comprehend was confused by this unusual standoff, “Elder Wu, why would Chu Xiyue and Wu Xingyun want to help Gu Yang?”

He truly couldn’t figure out why Chu Xiyue and Wu Xingyun were preparing to make a move.

In his view, the one these two should be targeting was, of course, the retainer, MO Yu. He naturally believed that they were here to rescue Gu Yang. Elder Wu responded, “They have no choice

Clearly, these two were considered enemies by Gu Yang after entering the courtyard and locked under his Blade Intent, thus they had no choice but to face him in battle.

As for the reason why Gu Yang did not make a move.

Elder Wu had a vague guess in his heart, he was aiming to slay all three fighters in one sweep, but Chu Xiyue and Wu Xingyun were positioned too far away, he did not have full confidence, leading to the current standoff.

A Third Grade planning to wipe out three Second Grades simultaneously was so crazy that even Elder Wu felt it was insane.

Yet, this was the most reasonable assumption.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why Gu Yang waited without taking action.

He wanted to pressure the others until they could no longer withstand it and took the initiative to attack. Only then, could he find the best opportunity.

As Elder Wu was speaking, another variable arose; Xu Ruomei walked out and intruded into the stand-off created by the martial intent of both sides.

This immediately disrupted the balance.

A shocking change occurred.

For a moment, everyone in the area felt their vision black out and all they saw was a flash of a blade.

That blade was drawn.
