Chapter 148: Actually I Am Level Nine (2/2)
The Tian Long Taoism had already pressured the Lei Family and asked them to ground Lei Xu in case he should come and make troubles. No one expected that Wang She would come. What was this all about?
As it had happened and Ji Zhongtang was shouting angrily, he had no choice but to say something.
”Chief Wang, what are you doing?”
Wang She glanced at him and answered, ”Yo, it's Elder Yan. Why are you here?”
”You know why. Stop messing up and leave right away. Are you going to set the Mingyi School against the Tian Long Taoism?!”
”What if I really want to?!” Wang She's face fell and said, ”I'm setting the Mingyi School against the Tian Long Taoism. What can you do?”
”You!” Elder Yan pounded the table angrily, making the soup splash. He pointed at Wang She and bellowed, ”How dare you!”
”I've no time to waffle with you. If you're smart enough, you should stand aside and watch. This is none of your business. If you want to flaunt your superiority, I don't mind vanquishing you. But do you really want others to see that there's internal conflict in our Tian Long Taoism?”
”You!” Elder Yan groaned angrily. He almost fell down on the table. ”Very well, very well, Chief Wang. You— Very well!” The old man pointed at Wang She and his fingers were trembling with anger. But he was helpless before Wang She even if he was an elder.
”Well... Alas...” He heaved a deep sigh and put his arms down dejected. He bowed to Ji Zhongtang and the deputy dean of the Mingyi School with shame on his face and said, ”Master Ji, Deputy Dean Li, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!”
After that, he left, with shame and bitterness on his face, leaving no chance for others to speak.
”This crafty old fox!”
The others scolded secretly.
As Elder Yan had left, everyone's attention was naturally drawn back to the hall.
Wang She seemed calm, still waving his fan. He paid no attention to Ji Zhongtang's scolding but said, ”Brother Shaoyou, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Why are you so stubborn about Miss Ma?”
”Let's battle!” Surrounded by piercing sword intent, Lu Shaoyou looked sullen. He said calmly, ”This time, we shall fight until someone dies!”
Lu Shaoyou was outraged now. No one could tolerate this if it happened at their wedding.
Fight until someone dies!
He had fully expressed his confidence and his killing intent.
However, Wang She didn't think so.
”Brother Lu, you mistook me again. Why would I kill you? I'm just coming to rob the bride. You don't need to get so serious. But...”
Before his voice died away, there came the Sword Qi. Quick as a flash, the cyan sword light pierced through Wang She's body.
”Wow! This one is much better than the last one!”
The body hit by the sword light was split into two halves instantly and fell on the ground gently. Only then did everyone see that it wasn't a body but a green robe.
”An eye trick. Well done!” Lu Shaoyou commented and the sword light in his hand continued to stab toward the crossbeam.
”You're not bad yourself, knowing that you can create a diversion!”
”Qiang Qiang!” They separated and in a moment they battled again. Others could see the sword light and fan shadow mingled together.
As experts at Level Eight, it seemed that they both didn't mean to influence others, so they controlled their power to a limited area while battling. Still, the audience were all shivering to see such a violent battle.
Though it seemed that they didn't stir up a spanking wind when fighting, one might die immediately if touched by one of them accidentally, without a complete body.
But in fact, they battled temperately. It seemed that Lu Shaoyou had gained the upper hand as Wang She's fan shadow was totally covered by his sword light. At this moment, a white figure flashed out and the crowd let out a gasp.
”Who? How dare you!”
A cold shout came from the hall. Ji Zhongtang who sat at the host seat pounced at the white figure, but it was too late.
Like a burst of wild wind, that white figure suddenly appeared, whirled away from the bride in red and then disappeared without a trace. All this happened in the blink of an eye. Though Ji Zhongtang had noticed that something happened, he didn't expect there was another expert at Level Eight waiting in the dark beside Wang She. Though he himself could be counted as an expert, when facing the sudden action of a Level Eight expert like Nian Wushuang, he could only stand there and watch Nian Wushuang taking away Miss Ma with eyes wide open.
Outside the hall, Lu Shaoyou was yelling and cursing. It seemed that he was trying to get rid of Wang She, but Wang She's fan shadow was too closely woven to be shaken off, even his sword technique was miraculous.
”OK. We made it. You may leave first!” While battling, Wang She didn't forget his partners who were fighting against experts from the Mingyi School and the imperial court. Seeing that Nian Wushuang had taken the bride, he asked his partners to leave in case that they might be stuck here. After all, unlike him and Nian Wushuang, they hadn't reached the peak of Level Seven yet.
The other three were not fools. Hearing his words, they all showed their best skills and stuck together to force back the enemies. Then they slunk away so fast that those experts couldn't chase after them. In fact, no one wanted to chase them as they were all highly skilled in martial arts and hard to deal with. As a result of the joint efforts of everyone, they were merely trapped just now. So it might not be worth chasing them.
Besides, for those experts, though their task was to escort the bride, this was ultimately none of their business. Therefore, they didn't really need to risk their lives.
Outside the hall, Lu Shaoyou saw that Ma Linglong had been robbed and he himself was still trapped by Wang She. He couldn't keep calm anymore. He let out a bellow and then a violent Sword Qi burst out from him.
”Wang She, you asked for it!”
The Sword Qi cut through the air and thrust at Wang She at a breathtaking speed.
”Oops!” Wang She let out a strange sound. He waved his fan suddenly and then he was surrounded by a blast of cyan airflow.
”Fallen Heaven Ultimate Sword. Immeasurable Sword Qi!”
The miraculous Sword Qi bursting out from Lu Shaoyou's body was condensed into a gust and broke up the cyan airflow. Wang She backed off again and again. His fan was smashed into pieces and fell down.
”That's the marvelous Fallen Heaven Ultimate Sword! He is definitely the Blade Master!”
Wang She's figure danced in the air like a dead leaf.
”Wang She, you can't escape this time!” Lu Shaoyou bellowed. He jumped off and swung his sword. At that moment, the Sword qi was condensed and Wang She's escape routes were all blocked.
”Pu Pu Pu!”
The cyan Sword Qi beat on Wang She. But unexpectedly, Wang She was not beaten into a sieve.
The muffled sound frightened everyone. The piercing Sword Qi stabbed at the green robe and caused ripples, as a stone hit the water. But besides ripples, there was no other change.
”This is—!” Seeing that his Sword Qi can't hurt Wang She and the change of the green robe, Lu Shaoyou seemed to realize something, and then his face turned terrible.
”This is, Level Nine!” Wang She smiled and finished Lu Shaoyou's words. His green robe lifted again and a light layer of green veil floated on it. It was this green veil that blocked Lu Shaoyou's Sword Qi just now.
”Sorry, Blade Master Lu. I forgot to tell you!” Wang She smiled. His figure floating in the air released great pressure that hung over the whole Lu Mansion. ”In fact, I'm Level Nine!”
