Chapter 834: Sword 13’s Strength
Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: JayC
It wasn't that Duan Ling Tian had never thought the three old men had come for the sake of Zi Shang, yet he felt it wasn't realistic.
Even if Ning Can was Zi Shang's master, he couldn't openly stand out for Zi Shang and make a move against him because of the private enmity between him and Zi Shang.
Otherwise, Ning Can would become a humongous joke!
Not to mention he'd called over another two Vice Fort Masters of the Skywolf Fort, and one of them was even a ninth level Void Transformation Stage expert just like Sword 13.
"Sword 13, our Skywolf Fort had always been on good terms and lived together peacefully with your Blade Sect… Today, so long as you hand over this young man, then we'll leave right away! In the future, we'll even send over a gift of thanks to the Blade Sect." Meng Li spoke with a tone that contained the intent to threaten Sword 13.
"What if I don't hand him over?" Sword 13's face sank.
"Then I can only be rude." Meng Li's eyes flashed with a cold light as he suddenly soared into the sky towards Sword 13. "I heard Ning Can say that you've already broken through to the ninth level of the Void Transformation Stage… Let me witness the strength of the number two expert of the House of Swords today!"
"You will." Sword 13 moved over to intercept him without the slightest fear as his body emitted fierce sword qi. At this instant, his entire body seemed to have transformed into a sword.
Meng Li and Sword 13 collided with each other, yet Duan Ling Tian and the others were utterly incapable of seeing it clearly because their speeds were truly too swift.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
When the both of them fought and collided with each other, it caused the airflow in the sky to explode out and give rise to waves of piercingly cold gales that blew onto the clothes of Duan Ling Tian and the others to the point of fluttering.
While Sword 13 and Meng Li fought, their figures occasionally vanished into thin air before the eyes of Duan Ling Tian and the others, and they sometimes appeared once more.
Based on the state of the two, they seemed to be on par!
In the sky, countless ancient horned dragon silhouettes bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced out and fought each other, and it looks to be an extremely horrifying battle.
"As expected of the publicly acknowledged genius of the House of Swords… Sword 13, you've just stepped into the ninth level of the Void Transformation Stage, yet you're already able to fight me equally. You deserve to be proud." An aged voice sounded out, and it was the voice of the Skywolf Fort's Vice Fort Master, Meng Li.
"Shameless boasting!" Sword 13's cold voice sounded out, and in the next moment, everyone present felt an even more fierce aura surged out from Sword 13.
In the next moment, it seemed as if numerous ancient horned mammoths had appeared in the sky, and Sword 13's strength seemed to have obtained an enormous increase at this moment.
Swish!
The sword howl that tore apart the sky stopped abruptly.
In the next moment, everyone saw that Sword 13 appeared and stood proudly in the sky, whereas the three foot long blade in his hand had flowing lights revolving on it, and it was dripping with dazzling and resplendent fresh blood.
In the distance, Meng Li appeared as well, but his countenance was slightly pale.
It wasn't just that, if one were to look carefully, one would be able to see a faint sword mark left on Meng Li's hand, a sword mark that had been treated.
"Senior is so strong?" Duan Ling Tian was shocked.
Based on what Meng Li said, Sword 13 had only recently broken through to the ninth level of the Void Transformation Stage, whereas, Meng Li had broken through a long time ago.
But even then, he wasn't a match for Sword 13.
"Sword 13, you really deserve to be the publicly acknowledged peerless genius of the House of Swords… You've only just broken through to the ninth level of the Void Transformation Stage, yet you're capable of suppressing me. I have to admit that you're extremely strong." Meng Li stood in the distance and looked at Sword 13 with a serious expression.
"Meng Li, your Skywolf Fort must give me an explanation for the incident today no matter what… Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" At this moment, Sword 13's gaze was cold, and he completely wasn't so casual as when he chatted with the young geniuses earlier and seemed to have transformed into a matchless god of slaughter.
The eyes of all the young geniuses that chose to join the Blade Sect lit up in unison.
This was the Vice Sect Master of the Blade Sect that they wanted to join, and at the same time that such strength caused them to be filled with anticipation, they felt a greater sense of security.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a wave of howls of the wind swept over, and then, a familiar figure appeared before Duan Ling Tian and the others.
"Feng Wei!" Duan Ling Tian's face went grim when he saw the person that had arrived.
When he noticed the fierce and greedy gaze Feng Wei shot at him, he knew that Feng Wei had come for him… Wait, greed? Duan Ling Tian's heart jerked.
He was vaguely able to guess what it meant when Feng Wei reveal greed upon looking at him.
Perhaps there was something that Feng Wei urgently wanted in his possession, or more precisely speaking, it was something that the Skywolf Fort wanted.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Skywolf Fort to send out four Vice Fort Masters!
"Feng Wei, you've come just in time… I'll leave that Duan Ling Tian to you. Yu Tang, you join forces with me to suppress Sword 13! Ning Can, you deal with Saber 5!" Meng Li revealed a smile and issued out orders when he saw Feng Wei arriving.
As soon as Meng Li finished speaking, he charged towards Sword 13 with the other Vice Fort Master of Skywolf Fort, Yu Tang, and they approached menacingly without holding back in the slightest.
Sword 13's expression had already become grim early on when Feng Wei appeared, as he never imagined that the Skywolf Fort had actually sent out such a force for the sake of Duan Ling Tian.
Four Vice Fort Masters had been deployed!
But when faced with the joint forces of Meng Li and Yu Tang, he quickly didn't have the state of mind to think why the Skywolf Fort acted in this way, and his figure flashed out to fight with Meng Li and Yu Tang.
He wasn't afraid of a single Meng Li, and so long as he was given the time, it wouldn't be a problem for him to kill Meng Li.
If he utilized his full strength, he would at most need three strikes to surely reap away Yu Tang's life!
But when Meng Li and Yu Tang were combined together, it caused him to have the feeling as if he had the strength yet was unable to exert it, causing him to barely be able to be on par with them.
"Saber 5, I've wanted to fight you since long ago!" Ning Can looked at Saber 5 as he shouted out coldly, and then he flashed out as if he'd transformed into an eagle that whistled in the air as he charged towards Saber 5.
"You think I'm afraid of you?!" Saber 5 laughed with disdain as the broad saber in his hand flashed out with wide movements as it tore through the sky, and he moved fearlessly to intercept Ning Can and become locked in battle with Ning Can.
"Be obedient! Don't blame me for being ruthless if anyone dares to flee!" Feng Wei's gaze flashed past Duan Ling Tian and the others before finally descending onto Duan Ling Tian, and a wisp of a cold smile suffused the corners of his mouth. "Duan Ling Tian, I've really underestimated you."
As soon as Feng Wei said this, it caused all the young geniuses including Feng Tian Wu, Su Li, and Zhang Shou Yong to look at Duan Ling Tian in unison, and all of them felt that Feng Wei's words had a hidden meaning.
They felt shock and curiosity from the bottoms of their hearts towards the Skywolf Fort's actions of deploying such a great force for the sake of Duan Ling Tian.
"Now, I'll give you a chance… Make a vow with the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation that you'll be eternally loyal to my Skywolf Fort and I can spare your life! Otherwise, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death." Feng Wei's gaze gradually became cold as he spoke with an icy cold and bone piercing voice that caused the group of young geniuses present to be unable to help but shiver, and they felt a chill run down their spines.
Feng Wei actually wanted to make Duan Ling Tian make such a vow.
Once this vow was made, it would mean that Duan Ling Tian would be tied to the Skywolf Fort for his entire lifetime and be unable to betray the Skywolf Fort, nor do anything harmful to the Skywolf Fort.
Otherwise, he would be blasted to death by the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!
Besides that, Feng Wei's words indicated that he would kill Duan Ling Tian today if Duan Ling Tian didn't make this vow, or perhaps, he would kill Duan Ling Tian now.
"Be loyal to the Skywolf Fort?" Duan Ling Tian sneered. "If I only have this choice, then I'd rather die!"
"Then die!" Feng Wei revealed a ruthless expression as a terrifying aura swept out from him, and then he took a step forward as his imposing aura effused out to blast down onto Duan Ling Tian.
Bang!
Duan Ling Tian's expression sank slightly when being pressured by Feng Wei's imposing aura, and then a talisman appeared out of this air in his tightly clenched right hand. It was precisely one of the two remaining talismans left to him by his father.
Right when Duan Ling Tian intended to throw the talisman out and annihilate Feng Wei, a figure appeared like a shadow to block before him.
"Uncle Feng!" Duan Ling Tian's heart shook when he saw the red clothed middle aged man that stood before him, and he said with an anxious expression, "Uncle Feng, you're not a match for him, quickly step aside!"
"Haha… If I, Feng Wu Dao, am even unable to protect my son-in-law, then what's the point in living?" Feng Wu Dao started laughing when he heard Duan Ling Tian, and his laughter was unrestrained as he faced death with a smile.
"Uncle Feng, I can…" Right when Duan Ling Tian wanted to say he was able to deal with Feng Wei, four figures had appeared by Feng Wu Dao, and they firmly protected Duan Ling Tian behind them with Feng Wu Dao.
Feng Tian Wu, Su Li, Zhang Shou Yong, and Ta Mu.
"All of you get out of the way!" When he noticed the terrifying aura that surged up from Feng Wei's body, Duan Ling Tian's expression instantly went grim as he hurriedly flew out with the intention of locking onto Feng Wei and throwing out the talisman in his hand.
But unfortunately, he was still too late.
Bang!
Feng Wei casually raised his hand, causing a mighty palm strike to slap out, and a wave of endless continuous sounds of air exploding sounded out in the sky. The terrifying energy pressed down onto Feng Wu Dao and the others, blasting the five of them flying.
"Ah!"
"Pu!"
…
The countenance of the five people led by Feng Wu Dao went pale, then they repeatedly spat out a few mouthfuls of blood in a sorry state, and their bodies were on the brink of collapse.
"Die!" Duan Ling Tian's gaze went cold as he stared firmly at Feng Wei and the talisman in his hand seemed ready to fly out.
Right at this moment.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
Numerous swift figures instantly appeared behind Feng Wei like shadows.
Ten old men that wore the green colored uniform of the Skywolf Fort glared fiercely at Duan Ling Tian and the others, and their bodies emitted strands of ruthless auras.
"Ten Skywolf Fort elders!" When he saw the silver eyes of the skywolves on badges on the old men's chests, Duan Ling Tian's face went grim, and the talisman he was just intending to throw out had been put away by him.
At this moment, even if he tossed out the talisman and is able to kill to Feng Wei, he would be unable to escape doom.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of utilizing the talisman to kill the strongest Vice Fort Master of Skywolf Fort and allow Sword 13 to turn around the situation alone, but the old fellow was truly too far away from him and was locked in battle with Sword 13, so it was difficult to catch sight of that old fellow's figure.
"Ha!!" Right at this moment, an explosive shout sounded out, and it drew the gazes of Duan Ling Tian and the others.
It was Saber 5 who'd blasted Ning Can flying with a single strike.
Subsequently, his icy cold gaze abruptly shot towards the ten Skywolf Fort elders.
