What exactly was I seeing currently is difficult to describe, a green energy blade like curved slash was heading directly towards the place where I currently was .
Watch out .
I heard a cry and even without hearing that cry, feeling the threat coming from that weird green energy blade was enough to force me to be on my guard, I had no doubt that I might end up being split in half, if this energy blade were to hit me .
But what made this weird energy dangerous was the fact that it exerted pressure on those who it was going after, that pressure was enough to make the person feel like he was locked on by it and have no room for escaping, at least that was what I was currently feeling .
Sensing the incoming disaster, I gave up on trying to escape and directly withdraw my Retribution Sword and began using the Life-Severing secret technique to increase my strength, as the blade energy came towards me, I had already accumulated what I deemed to be enough strength to defend myself against it, then came the decisive moment and I understood that indeed no amount of cautious could have prepared me for what happened next .
I was directly thrown into the wall just as my sword clashed with the energy blade, my resentment energy began trying to reduce the impact by eating the energy contained in that weird energy blade, at least that what it tried to do, but then and as if the resentment energy was finally meeting its match .
It actually was unable to reduce the impact even in the slightest, my current enhanced strength should have reached at least the 4th layer of Organ Quenching Realm, but the moment I clashed with that thing, I was directly blown away by it and I directly crashed into the wall, both my body and clothes ended up being in a miserable state .
I had a deep cut that had tore the robe I was using and left a deep wound on my chest, one that went all the way to my neck, just looking at it felt painful, but due to having Mental Strength, I was able to numb my senses of the pain, but my health was deteriorating by the second .
Through gritted teeth at how badly injured my body was currently, I still urged my Blood Qi and forced myself to withdraw another Azure Wood Pill from the pouch and I directly swallowed it up .
My actions didn't become wasted, even though the green blade energy hadn't dissipated, I was still able to direct it towards the other side of the wall, the energy blade clashed with the walls of the cave and actually dissipated, but only after making the whole cave shake slightly and dissipating with a loud Bang .
The Azure Wood Pill began to heal my body instantly and even though my clothes were ruined, I was able to see that the wound began to close at an alarming rate, just as I was about to sigh in relief at this, I realized that I was already in the deepest part of the cave, but this wasn't a happy thing in the slightest .
My enhanced eyesight took a closer look at the item that was responsible for creating that weird energy blade, it was an arm length Green Like Jade Feather, that was the thing responsible for unleashing all these energy blades .
That was why I no longer thought about this situation as a good one, that Green Feather actually was surrounded by energy blades from all directions, what's worse it was even creating more with the passing seconds, those energy blades were scattered in all directions like spiderweb, those who would even try to get close to them might die without knowing what actually hit them .
I turned my eyes toward where the sound I heard before came and saw that their was a guy that wore similar blue robes with the same badge of the Green Sword Villa, this guy was one of the guys that I had seen heading deeper earlier on, he had auburn hair and was actually similar in appearance to the girl who I had met before .
He looked quite sturdy, but his clothes currently was filled with holes and his body was bloodied, his and most likely his opponent as well, his face looked quite solemn, but even with his solemnity people who would look at him would still think that he is quite heroic, that guy was currently recuperating behind a big rock that seemed to have already deformed and lost a big chunk of itself after withstanding who knows how many attacks of these energy blades .
That guy was the one who told me to watch out just now, just as I looked towards that guy, on the other side of the spacious part of the cave we were in currently came another voice, telling me :
Hey Junior Brother, you're quite daring to come into this place, I salute you, I had a servant here with me that is currently reporting to me about having you getting into some troubles, so can you allow me to meditate between you two and help sort things out here, could you give me Song Che some face ? .
Looking at where the voice came from, I saw that at the opposite side of where the other guy was standing, I saw that there were two people taking cover behind one of the biggest rock in the place, one of those two people was someone I'm quite familiar with, Song Wei, so the other person that went into the cave before should be his Young Master, the guy who called himself Song Che .
The said Young Master of the City's Lord Mansion faction was a guy with a white face, a poisonous green eyes, a sinister and quite the arrogant smile on his face currently, he was donning a purple color robe, his current complexion was pale, his injuries were less severe than the other guy and even his clothes seemed to fine, but he did look quite tired, it seem he had used his Mental Energy a few times already .
Hearing him say this with his arrogant attitude, I couldn't help but let out a cold sneer and looking at that smile on his face, I said :
" Song Che, I didn't seem to recall someone strong enough to have me give some face with that kind of name, as for that servant of yours, if you decide to protect him then I wish you success with that .
My words seemed to have achieved the intended effect on that guy, he looked at me with a squinted eyes and already seemed to be thinking of ways to dissect me to pieces later on, if a chance was to present itself, seeing him like this, I no longer paid him much attention and completely locked my gaze on the Green Gleaming Feather at the end of the cave .
I was able to guess that this item was quite the special item, after all not everyday I got to see a feather hovering above a rock and even gleaming, not to mention the crazy feeling of dangerous that I got by simply looking at it .
My gaze kept lingering on that feather and the two people seemed to have become aware of this, but one wasn't that fazed by this, while the other seemed to become even more alarmed about me doing something like this, it seem that we all three are here for the exact same thing, but one of us seemed to believe that the feather had already belonged to him, that person was the arrogant Master of the City's Lord Mansion, who seemed to be quite childish with his thoughts .
This treasure is strange, both me and Senior Brother Chu Jian there were unable to even come close to it, maybe this brother might have a better chance than the two of us ? .
I don't know whether he believed me to be stupid enough to barge into such a dangerous area without a plan, he seemed to really think that I'm not able to see the energy blades all waiting for somone to get closer, before they directly fill him with holes, just as I was about to taunt him by saying that this kind of provocations wouldn't work on me, the guy on the other side named Chu Jian said :
Don't listen to him, the treasure seemed to be left with some defensive mechanism, the moment you get close, you will be directly locked on by these wind blades and get torn to shreds, that guy is lying, he still hadn't tried to reach for that treasure even once, all that he did was to wait for other people to take actions and then he will backstab from behind and reap all the benefits .
Hearing Chu Jian's words I suddenly got enlightened regarding the rotten personality of that City's Lord Mansion Young Master, I thought that he was shameless before, but now hearing what Chu Jian had to say, I began to label that guy in my heart as quite evil .
Chu Jian, you, you shouldn't frame people and just blame your own misfortune upon others .
Misfortune, huh, well it was indeed unfortunate for me to believe what you said about working together earlier, but do you dare to continue acting unruly when we get outside, no, how about you come out of your turtle's shell and we could find out about who is superior right here and now, what, don't you dare ? .
Chu Jian, don't make me laugh, before you weren't able to even save that charming little sister's face from getting scarred by that Mad Knife Yu Fan, so what if you are stronger than me, isn't it all for nothing .
Don't forget what my identity is, once I step into the Capital City I might be able to join the holy land of the Spiritualist, guess who can stop my ascendance once I do so, hahaha, even though that sister of yours face is scarred, her figure is still a top notch, so I would accept her as a maid and bedwarmer by my side .
You, you... .
Chu Jian was so stimulated by what he heard that he was no longer able to suppress his injuries and puked blood out of anger, the smile on the face of that despicable guy grew even more wider after seeing this, Chu Jian seemed to be in the late stages of the Organ Quenching Realm and the other guy seemed to be only at the 5th layer, but one of them held too many advantages over the other .
Chu Jian was currently injured, now with him being unable to suppress his injuries, his state might become worse and worse with the passing time, his combat strength would drop and he would no longer be an opponent to the other side, Song Che also had an advantage in numbers with Song Wei beside him, not to mention that he still have an ace up his sleeves, Mental Strength .
The situation of Chu Jian is expected to be getting worse and worse from here on out, the words that despicable guy said, made me understand a few more things about the Spiritualists and their so-called holy land, I also understood more regarding the ambitious character of him, I came to the conclusion that I really didn't like that guy one bit, especially after hearing what he said and planned to do .
Just as I was contemplating on what to do, I heard the voice of Song Che saying :
I heard that you held back that Chu girl from coming after Song Wei, so I would like to extend an olive branch to you considering that we are both Spiritualists and bound to be different from those medicore people, how about you join me and I will compensate you for the treasure, what do you say ?.
And as the timing couldn't be any worse, the second he made that offer, another energy blade shot towards me and it was even twice big in diameter than the last one, this one was aiming to finish me off completely, but even though its speed was quite fast, the space it needed to cross before reaching me, gave me enough room to evade into the direction of one of the two guys in front of me .
Either I now move to either side of the two guys in front, or I might not be able to make it in time, but making a choice at such point of time wasn't actually that difficult, before the blade lock on me, I used my footwork skill Gliding Swallow and directly appeared beside that injured Chu Jian, even if he tried to do something, I will still be able to deal with him .
As for the reason to why not evade that one energy blade before it lock on me, this is was related to a suspicion that I had in mind, before I came here, I heard the faint sounds of explosive going off, a loud sounds, but I only happened to face one last energy blade after I came inside, so now I recalled that this was indeed sounded quite weird .
After I took cover, I finally understood that my suspicions weren't groundless, they were actually confirmed a short period directly after I took cover by a few seconds, A flurry of energy blades shot out directly after the first energy blade crashed into the wall and dissipated, once again going out with a bang and shaking the whole cave .
You still have a chance to change your mind, friend, if you got what I wanted you to do, I might be even willing to share it with you, the loot and the treasures .
Still not giving up on trying to lure me into his side, he still said this and even though I didn't reply to him, the person who I decided to take cover with actually unsheathed his sword and that weird technique was already in motion, any second the sword in his hand will launch at me like a sharp torpedo and with bloodshot eyes he said :
What did you do to Ji Xi ?.
Seeing him concerned about his sister even while he was in such a state, I said :
" Brother Chu shouldn't get so worked up over some lies said by a wretched guy like that, your sister and I worked together to remove the rocks that were blocking the path forward and in a few seconds and at most minutes, she should be here, so how about you take this and recover your wounds first .
I said this with an attitude that was as sincere as possible and even offered him an Azure Wood Pill, I was able to tell that he knew the value of the pill in my hand, as I saw his eyes contracting slightly after seeing the green gleaming pill in hand, but even with this he was still reluctant to accept it, thinking that there might be a problem with this pill, perhaps .
" I can swear on my Martial Arts Heart, if you still didn't believe me and believe it or not but in your current state, I can still kill you with a single sword, so using such a method on the current you would be a waste of good resources .
You, you..... .
He was about to curse me but I directly shoved the pill into his mouth and with hatred in his eyes, he sat down and began digesting the Medicinal Properties of the pill, just as he closed his eyes and sat in a meditative position, a flying blue dagger gleaming and seemed to be made in a unique way, came flying towards the guy in a meditative position on the ground .
The flurry of energy blades was still there, but it seemed that Mental Strength still had some maneuver space in this tight situation, expanding some mental strength to conjure a barrier of Mental Energy in front of us, the dagger clashed with the barrier and with this clash of Mental Energy, sparks began to appear, but only for a short period of time .
I thought that the blue dagger was quite special due to actually being able to crack my barrier slightly, so I tried to inspect it some more and maybe try and get hold of it, but the second I tried to do this, the owner of the dagger felt it and actually recall it back .
I hope you are aware of what you are doing, do you think that by helping him, you would be able to offend the City's Lord Mansion as you like, huh, dream on, once we step out of this place, you will know who had the strongest grasp around here .
" You know, I really wonder where did you keep getting the confidence about leaving out here alive, I already able to guess what are you after, so how about this, I might consider giving you an Azure Wood Pill right here and now, if you handed that servant of yours to me, what do you say ? .
As I finished saying this, I heard the yelling voice of Song Wei arguing that I was bluffing and that he was more useful for the young master than any pill in the current situation, after he finished giving all sorts of arguments, the Young Master of his finally replied to me and said :
How about you give me two pills and I will cripple him right here and now for you ? .
I wasn't clear about what might be the reaction on Song Wei's face currently, but I was somewhat certain that it was an ugly one, but luckily for him, I thought that I don't want to spend two precious pills for him, that would be such a waste .
Just as I was about to refuse his offer, a huge commotion suddenly came to my senses, many footsteps were approaching this area quickly and surprisingly enough, they were all led by none other than the stubborn girl from before Chu Ji Xi .
