Chapter 243: Bloodstained Blade Heading Southeas (2/2)

He seemed to be swaying and would fall over at any time, but he remained standing!

He continued on a path towards the southeast and left Mu Tantian and Mu Shui behind. They had complex thoughts running through their minds. Initially, they came to finish this mission and were relatively relaxed. However, after fighting Feng Feiyun, they felt that they had a lot of shortcomings and had not perfected their fighting prowess.

The mood between the two was heavy.

Mu Tantian looked at the night sky and asked: “Who is the third gatekeeper?” He saw smoke rising over there along with sonic blasts. Several white dragon-shaped saber energies were rushing to the sky.

“A grand achievement God Base with 182 meridians opened, one level stronger than me.” Mu Shui, for some reason, actually hoped for Feng Feiyun to beat the fourth trial in order to see the fifth gatekeeper.

This was no easy task. She had no confidence in trying to do so as well.

“His dragon slash’s might has increased yet again at seventy percent mastery.” Mu Tantian noticed that the white dragon energy had become even more realistic than before. They were thirty meters long, just like real dragons.

Feng Feiyun’s comprehension of this saber art was truly frightening. It kept on increasing after each battle.

Mu Shui felt the same way and thought that their group was not here to stop Feng Feiyun, but rather acted as grindstones for him to sharpen his saber. His saber mastery was increasing way too fast, causing them to feel that it wasn’t real.

In the distance, Princess Luofu was seated in her imperial carriage and heard the sounds of battle. She noticed the saber energy continuously increasing and had to rub her temples exasperatedly. Ever since the ancient times, no one in the imperial family had such a devilish comprehension of the Dragon King’s Saber Art. This was too difficult to accept.

She had never practiced this art, but she knew just how difficult it was, so Feng Feiyun’s comprehension speed greatly exceeded her imagination.

The commotion tonight was too loud. Although she had made plans earlier to deal with this, it still alerted many young cultivators.

People came right outside of this region but didn’t dare to enter. Naturally, they were wary of her banner.

“Who is the princess teaching a lesson to? She is using so many grand achievement God Base cultivators. I heard both Mu Tantian and Mu Shui were invited. These are the real super rankers among the top one hundred.” A young girl riding an old beast was quite shocked.

Both the princess and Mu Tantian’s group were quite famous at the Wanxiang Pagoda. The young disciples had only heard of their names and hadn’t met them yet. They were characters of legends.

Clouds billowed in the horizon as the energy of the battle shook the earth. This was an impressive scene; many disciples were excited and their blood boiling.

“I heard the biggest swindler of our pagoda was invited as well!”

“Isn’t that Bi Ningshuai? Haha, I heard he has offended many top experts like Li Xiaonan from the Sacred Spirit Palace. This number one ranker has always wanted to teach him a lesson, so he has always been hiding inside the Technique Tower, not daring to come out.”

“The princess is protecting him so those experts will give her some face. They won’t do anything right now.”

“However, I can guarantee one thing, some people will definitely be victims of his thievery.”

Everyone else nodded and were tired of Bi Ningshuai’s character. His hands were too dirty; they would dare to steal from just about anyone.

Horrifying blasts continuously rang, bringing about crazy gales. It was easy to see just how fierce the battle was. This was a contest between top-level experts.

The cultivators standing on the periphery were all guessing the person being schemed against. This person actually made the princess blockade the area and invite others to deal with him.

“It’s the son of the demon. Feng Feiyun has become the Divine King’s next-generation successor and is cultivating the imperial art, the Dragon King’s Saber Art. Princess Luofu might have to marry him, so she has to try and kill him now.” This news was spread and it stunned the crowd!

“I heard the princess has someone she likes already, one of the nine Grand Historical Geniuses, so she definitely doesn’t want to marry Feng Feiyun. It makes sense for her to invite people to deal with him.”

In just a short amount of time, all kinds of embellished versions of this story spread. Some were far from the truth.

After a while, the sounds of the battle stopped among the mountains and forests.

“The third gate couldn’t stop him.” Mu Tantian spoke.

The dust on the horizon began to settle. Feng Feiyun carried his saber and stood at the foothill with a determined stance, giving off the feeling that he was unstoppable.

“He definitely can’t pass the fourth gate, this is a gate of death for him.” Mu Shui spoke calmly.

“Could the gatekeeper be him!?” Mu Tantian’s expression quickly changed.

“Shi Yelai!” Both of them blurted out this name at the same time.

He was the number one among the princess’ guest followers and was only one step away from being a Grand Historical Genius. He was ranked 10th on the Pagoda’s Hundreds List and was the only person at the grand achievement God Base realm to be among the top ten.

He was a legend at the Wanxiang Pagoda. Some even said that unless a Grand Historical Genius came out, no one at the same cultivation level would be able to handle even one of his moves.

1. Author does poetic stuff sometimes. I’m guessing it is saying that he is returning to “home” in a sense wherever Nangong Hongyan is.
