Chapter 557: Silver Moon Swordsmen (IV)

As spider silk shot through the air, Black Widow roared, “She’s not fully recovered yet, kill her!”

The pirate and Buddha Mountain representative immediately brought ruthless moves to bear. Their combined efforts created a gap in Light Sword’s barrage. Orange Moon shouted and soared into the air, sending out thousands more sword strokes that resembled spider silk. She looked like she was about to kill Light Sword, but her moves drifted away in a flurry.

The woman was gone, vanished on the spot. As a Silver Moon martial master and one who used to be part of the thirty-six, she had her own way of survival—although people liked to say that she’d earned her place through her looks. When Earthturner Sword and the others chose to counterattack, she knew that their optimal chance of victory had just slipped through their fingers!

The attackers weren’t all from one faction, after all. None of them were willing to truly put their best efforts on the line as they also schemed against each other at the same time. How would they stand a chance now that they were being cut down one by one?

Hence, she chose to run!

Orange Moon had vanished from public sight. Light Sword frowned, expecting the decision and flicked a glance at Earthturner Sword and Li Hao not too far away. She didn’t give chase, continuing to focus on the two panicking peak Novas.

Those two were losing their minds as Black Widow had fled and left them behind!

......

On Li Hao’s side.

He faced three late Novas—one from Yama, Celestial, and someone else he didn’t recognize. The two from the three great organizations were easy to recognize. He ignored the happenings in the other directions and slashed out with five auras melded together. The three powerhouses also brought their best to defend, explosions rang out continuously!

The young man was plainly a bit worse off as he faced three by himself, but he didn’t care. He wasn’t afraid of being hurt or even breaking an arm or a leg. He deployed the Weeping Willow Sword as the overview for his techniques, enveloping the three and not giving them a chance to escape.

Gentle and unyielding, Li Hao forced the three into ferocious counterattacks and unceasing roars. Sword light swept through the North Sea! The young man was the weakest of the trio, but his sword methods were the most cutting. His moves looked mild, but every one of them was lethal.

Hong Yitang carried himself with the same vast and magnificent style as before, suppressing the two in metamorphosis. They howled with the indignity of their circumstances.

“How dare you try to kill me, Hong Yitang?!” Near River’s general director shouted to the heavens. “You will not be able to bear the consequences if I die here!”

BOOM!

A sword came down over his head, so oppressive that it nearly forced the man to explode. Fan Chang roared and hacked wildly with his blade. The other swept his spear around and didn’t say much. No amount of intimidation or threats was useful at this point. Fan Chang had occupied a lofty position for so long that he’d forgotten this point.

Silver Moon martial masters didn’t care about verbal bluster and didn’t even converse much with people. They often talked only after killing their opponent—they struck up conversations with corpses.

Of the three, no, four battlefields, Light Sword was the first to finish her fights. Her sword qi shot up to the heavens as it illuminated the vicinity. She cut down the Duke of Sea Pacification of the North Sea pirates with one stroke.

“I am the brother of the Buddha Mountain lord...” the remaining survivor was forced to protest. His elder brother was the mountain’s lord! One of the premier powerhouses of the world!

Light Sword finished her sword sweep and crushed his head.

“Lord of Buddha Mountain?” she sneered. “I think I know him, the one who calls himself the Buddha King, doesn’t he? He came to Silver Moon from the west, whereupon Yuan Shuo broke his arms, shaved his head, and hung him on the boundary marker. I thought he died a long time ago, but he\'s still alive! Yuan Shuo always leaves trouble behind!”

What a pity that the person in front of her was dead and could not hear her anymore.

Li Hao used the flash of horror in his opponents to strike with his sword and erupt with the metal sword aura. He ripped through the Celestial elder with a loud explosion!

The young man’s other hand came up with a punch. A massive tiger manifested with a roar and swallowed his second opponent. Terrified beyond belief, his last opponent sought to run. He’d just dashed through the void when Light Sword’s blow arrived!

It pierced through heaven and earth and nailed the man into the void!

In the distance, the two metamorphosis experts widened their eyes. A ruthless look crossed Fan Chang’s eyes. When Hong Yitang’s sword flashed out, Fan Chang suddenly threw out something that exploded, creating a massive cavity in the waters below them.

Vomiting blood, Fan Chang ran off. However, a dark look lingered in his eyes. The treasure was gone—he’d uncovered it in a ruin. According to the instructions it came with, it was an exceedingly powerful bomb from the ancient times. It was an energy bomb that could kill countless powerhouses in the ancient civilization.

He’d uncovered three bombs and used two of them already. They eliminated peak heavyweights each time. And the third... could only be used for saving his life.

As formidable as the bomb was, a ray of sword light flew out from the heart of the explosion and cut off one of Fan Chang’s arms. The man didn’t even look back; he vanished on the spot like it wasn’t his own arm that’d been severed. As a general director, he knew the importance of losing an arm to secure his survival.

The other metamorphosis expert from the Steppe Prince’s faction was also heavily injured by the bomb. Coughing up blood, he sighed in the direction that Fan Chang had run in. That bastard... if they’d kept fighting, Hong Yitang was in for a rough time even if they lost.

But he’d run away!

The man’s cloak split open to reveal his face. It was a weathered face that looked at Hong Yitang with a smile. “The prince will avenge me... Earthturner Sword, you can’t hide anymore after today!”

“The Steppe Prince is strong, but he needs to resolve the three commanders first!” Hong Yitang was likewise coughing up blood, but he swept his sword down!

Boom!

Qian Feng exploded, his voice lingering on the wind. “Hou Xiaochen and the other traitors... will not be long for this world!”

The Steppe King had crafted the Skystar Guards, but the three traitors had stolen the faction! As a loyal subject to the prince, he hated the three commanders. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about them. All he knew was that the prince had personally taken the field a while back and injured Hou Xiaochen and Huang Yu. The sad pity was that he hadn’t been able to kill them.

Action abruptly stopped on the three battlefronts. The white-haired old man kicked Panther away and swiftly ran off, abject fear in his eyes. Li Hao and the others were about to make their moves when a violent glint shone in the falling dog’s eyes.

A roar that didn’t sound like a dog bark rang in the air, prompting the appearance of a golden dog. Blood frothing, the black dog had turned into a massive golden dog! It was countless times bigger than before as it bit down on the old man!

The void seemed to shatter with that crunch and a devouring suction force emanated from its mouth. The old man screamed with anguish; half of his body was chomped off. Panther’s eyes were bloodshot and it seemed ready to swallow the body.

“Panth!” Li Hao hastily called out upon seeing the dog’s condition.

The black dog jerked itself awake and shook itself to normal. It was at a bit of a loss and quickly spat out the corpse in its mouth. Panther flung itself down to take a large sip of seawater and rinse out its mouth. It looked at Li Hao innocently when it came up for air. What is it? I don’t eat humans, so how did this person shove himself in my mouth?

Hong Yitang and the others regarded the dog in a new light. Hong Yitang quickly transmuted, “This dog seems to have the bloodline of ancient monster spirits. Its bloodline was briefly activated when it was provoked. Be careful, it seems to lose some consciousness when its bloodline is active...”

Li Hao inclined his head and frowned slightly, quickly revealing a smile again. So what?

“Black Widow and the other guy in metamorphosis got away...” he said with regret after a look around.

“I let her go on purpose!” Light Sword sighed deeply in the middle of a coughing fit.

Li Hao blinked.

“She is a Silver Moon martial master and one of the thirty-six...” Light Sword elaborated after a few seconds of silence. “That’s why I didn’t want to hunt her down.”

Li Hao’s brows furrowed, but he didn’t say anything.

“We might not be able to kill her even if we catch up to her,” Hong Yitang smoothed things over. “She was a martial master back in the day and is aware of our methods. She’s also one of Ying Hongyue’s most treasured subordinates, her strength is not to be underestimated. She might have some ultimate moves that she’s yet to pull out of her sleeve.

“It’s rather Fan Chang who surprised me with such an explosive treasure. I don’t know where he found it—it could’ve easily blown up regular peak Novas!”

“None of that is worth much, it’s more important that Martial Uncle Hong’s strength can no longer be concealed!” Li Hao said with regret.

“I don’t mind and don’t want to hide it,” Hong Yitang chuckled. “There’s been a lack of enemies to force my full strength over the years. Those who could’ve are dead, which contributes to the lack of general knowledge about me. It doesn’t mean that I’m afraid of anything!”

Panther swam in from the distance.

“Forget it, it’s all the same.” Li Hao looked around him. “There are actually some more heavyweights in the surroundings, they’re just watching from afar. Some of them have probably seen the results and are running. We can’t keep this under wraps! C’mon, let’s go find a quiet place to heal the two of you. I need to recover as well!”

“Your five auras sword technique... is not bad!” Hong Yitang complimented.

“It’s just stitched together.” Li Hao shook his head with a smile.

The man understood. Stitching together meant that the young man hadn’t truly successfully melded them as one. Even so, he had the ability to kill late Novas. It was apparent from that that the Five Auras Sword had great potential.

“That’s good! That means there’s enormous potential to be uncovered!”

Li Hao had been a bit dejected—he suddenly smiled at this and nodded. Hong Yitang was the best at comforting people!

Three humans and a dog vanished on the spot. Panther didn’t forget to clean up the battlefield. It was very worried at the moment—it could vaguely recall a few things, like changing and almost eating someone. It was worried Li Hao would send it away, there would be nothing good to eat then!

Therefore, it was particularly diligent in its duties.

It wasn’t until long after the group had vanished that people came by to investigate the battlefield. Sword qi crisscrossed in the air and some Novas were even injured by the lingering qi.

“The swordsmen of Silver Moon... are terrifying!” someone sighed after a long while.

The world was about to change again. Silver Moon martial masters were appearing one after another and each stronger than the previous. The situation was too much and too flustering to make a proper response to.
