638 Twins? (1/2)

The Fourth Form of Saber Truth: Destiny Blade was altogether different from the three preceding forms that were equipped with both offensive and defensive flows; it was impeccably flawless with a menacing edge. This two-styled form was a technique that was purely intended to execute the ultimate kill!

It was definitely a world-ranked assassin's ultimate attack - with unlimited possibilities and ways to deal death.

Wind Beyond The Sky was the paramount technique of an executioner, crafted from scratch; this particular move was aimed towards single opponents, for it was full of unexpected surprises - it would be almost impossible to defend against.

Nonetheless, this was not an entirely flawless technique. To activate this move, one had to concentrate the mystical energy in his entire being, then discharge it in a quick burst. This was the drawback; after executing the move, a lot of mystical Qi would be expended, regardless of whether the target was hit or not.

Mountain of Ivory Bones, the second style, was a technique that reflected its strength in one's killing intent!

When this move was brandished, it would, without exception, leave only a mountain of ivory bones in its wake, no matter how many enemies stood before you.

Both of these moves exuded a large killing aura – Yun Yang was already rattled by merely seeing them in action!

Another key would be the mantra of the form.

”The world is cold when there's wind beyond the sky, the Concourse of the Underworld is built from the saber's blade…”

The Concourse of the Underworld. These words…

Yun Yang's imagination ran amuck as he pondered upon the possibilities behind the phrase. What did this have to do with the assassin organization titled the Concourse of the Underworld? Was this a mere coincidence, or was this a hint of something more?

The vague statement certainly peaked one's interest, prompting one to seek the truth behind it!

At present, Whitey Two and Whitey Three simultaneously bit the leg of his pants, peering up at Yun Yang with anticipation. THey mewled loudly, obviously wishing to head out. How could they not miss the outdoors when they had spent a long time away from home? However, it could not be helped, for the space was previously in a locked-down state. Now that their master was here, it obviously meant that they could return to the human realm - how could they not be tempted?

These siblings had not seen each other in such a long time…

Yun Yang was still drowning himself in the sights and sounds of this new realm. He acceded to their request and waved them away without much thought.

”Go on by yourselves.”

…

Despite the awkward situation, where they were already prepared to berate him in a savage manner, Shangguan Lingxiu and Ji Lingxi were secretly overjoyed upon seeing Yun Yang, finally stirring. Judging by how he did not even bother to utter a few words before commencing the healing process, they were aware that Yun Yang had sustained a serious depletion of his energy this time around. Naturally, they did not disturb him, settling themselves in a corner to wait quietly until he woke up for the second time.

”Lingxi, look— his arm...” Shangguan Lingxiu directed her worried gaze towards Yun Yang's shoulder. It had swelled to a size even bigger than his thigh.

Ji Lingxi did not acknowledge it with much concern – she only spared him a casual glance. ”If a common man was swollen to a state like this, his arms would already be rendered useless; however, ace mystical Qi cultivators have the ability to heal themselves. The main expertise of Yun Yang's cultivation method is to revive and nourish vital energy - no serious harm will come to him.”

”In his current state, we could only do so much for him. Whether we use the mystical Qi from our cultivation base, or the medicinal herbs to get his blood flowing to clear up the bruises, these methods would only alleviate the situation slightly and not completely rid him of the symptoms. However, if Yun Yang uses his mystical Qi to heal his arm until it was back to its original state, not only would there be no further damage, the meridians along his arm will also experience a great deal of enhancement. This is actually beneficial for him.”

”Oh, so that's how it is,” Shangguan Lingxiu nodded lightly, finally rid of her worries entirely.

For a long while, Yun Yang remained in a deep, recuperative state.

Seeing that there was still no response from Yun Yang, the two bored girls proceeded to talk in hushed voices. Ji Lingxi's eyes widened as she turned around unintentionally just as she was about to switch to another topic. ”Eh?”

Shangguan Lingxiu followed Ji Lingxi's gaze. ”Huh?”

Yun Yang was still lying down, but his swollen arm and shoulder seemed to have reduced in size, now resembling a human's arm once again.

Under the intense gaze of the two girls, the swelling reduced at a speed visible to the human eye, rapidly decreasing in size.

It grew a little smaller the first time around.

It reduced a little more…

Yet a little more...

In the end, it reverted to its original, mint condition!

Ji Lingxi's eyeballs nearly popped out in disbelief after witnessing this entire scene.
