Chapter 549: Chapter 549 – Here Comes the Saber

Chapter 549: Here Comes the Saber

The Confucian school’s Expansive Heavenly Energy seemed gentle, but it was actually ferocious . On the surface, it was moderate and mild; on the inside, it was tenacious and violent . Toughness and gentleness were combined . When it was unleashed, the Expansive Heavenly Energy resembled a body of righteous Qi . Hence, there were many who preferred to cultivate in the Confucian school .

There were many Confucian elites in the Divine Capital . Many Confucian elites were palace officials as well . Among the eight great generals, Su Sheng and Gu Yiran were Confucian elites .

Gu Yiran would succeed or die trying to complete the orders given by Emperor Yong Shou . Emperor Yong Shou launched a campaign against the Other Tribes and established peace in the kingdom . For the people, for Great Yan, for the citizens… Gu Yiran would not allow anyone to disturb His Majesty’s plans .

There was a buzz in the air when the Expansive Heavenly Energy was released . Energy seals in the shape of runes materialized around Gu Yiran . The script seals joined together in a long chain and curled into the shape of a long dragon!

“Script seal’s golden dragon!” Gu Yiran cried out as the huge script seal’s golden dragon soared .

Huang Shijie’s eyes widened as he gritted his teeth . He raised both arms and fought with all his might as he released an energy seal that formed a circular wall .

Boom!

The first attack by the script seal’s golden dragon instantly shattered the energy seal wall . Huang Shijie had no choice but to retreat .

The script seal’s golden dragon continued to attack .

At this juncture, they were fighting for their lives .

Huang Shijie knew he would be a goner if he let his guard down .

Gu Yiran controlled the golden dragon and struck with both palms .

The script seal’s golden dragon lunged at Huang Shijie for the second time .

The golden dragon’s eyes were huge scripts…

Huang Shijie frowned deeply and folded his palms to block the attack again .

“Huang Shijie, you’ve been fooled!”

The script seal golden dragon split into two and pincered Huang Shijie from the left and right .

Two script seal golden dragons attacked at the same time .

“Sh*t!”

Bam!

When Huang Shijie parted his palms, it was too late . Before he could launch the energy seal from his palms, he was struck by the dragon heads . The attacks hit his arms, and he reeled back . He bit back the pain as he stumbled and fell to the ground .

Gu Yiran nodded in satisfaction . The twin script seals’ golden dragons coiled themselves around his body . “Island Master Huang, is this all you got?”

“Gu Yiran, Brother Ji has already attained the Nine-leaf stage a long time ago . Why are you being so stubborn?” Huang Shijie persuaded .

“Old geezer… If there’s no guarantee, His Majesty wouldn’t venture into the tiger’s den . ”

“Liu Ge is also a Nine-leaf cultivator?” Huang Shijie exclaimed in shock .

“There can’t be Nine-leaf cultivators in this world… Nine-leaf cultivators aren’t allowed to exist . I’ve said what I have to say . It’s time to send you on your way!” Gu Yiran no longer wasted any words .

The script seal golden dragons merged into one . The golden dragon danced in the air and lunged at Huang Shijie’s face .

“I’m not a person who’s afraid of death!” Huang Shijie let out a burst of Primal Qi .

At this moment…

Whoosh!

A ringing rang from above .

The sound was too unique . It easily attracted the attention of the two men .

In the skies, a jasper-like saber spun down . At first glance, it did not look eye-catching . However, its speed was extremely shocking . The energy wind stirred up by the spinning blade was different from other weapons . Most importantly, the saber’s target seemed to be the huge script seal’s golden dragon .

Just when it was about to land on the script seal’s golden dragon, the saber suddenly shot out spinning energy sabers .

It sliced through the golden dragon . The golden dragon was split into two . It instantly lost its momentum . The script seal shattered like glass and fell in just a blink of an eye .

The recoil from the destruction of the script seal’s golden dragon sent Gu Yiran flying back! His expression changed slightly . He staggered more than ten steps back before he stomped on the ground to stabilize himself . He felt fear tightened its grip around his heart when he saw the saber .

The saber split the script seal golden dragon . It spun two times . With a crisp sound, it stabbed into the ground .

Sunlight glinted off the blade . Anyone with a keen eye would be able to tell the saber was special . It was well-known that heaven-grade weapons could break through energy . A saber capable of slaying a dragon such as this one… were few and far in between . There was only a person who owned a jasper-like saber such as this one .

The same name surfaced in both Huang Shijie and Gu Yiran’s minds: Yu Zhenghai, the Evil Sky Pavilion’s first disciple, the Sect Master of the Nether Sect Master, and the Eight-leaf elite who was trying to take over the world!

It had to be Yu Zhenghai!

Gu Yiran felt slightly nervous . He could not help but look up . As he had dreaded, Yu Zhenghai who was dressed in a navy robe descended from the skies with his hands on his back . Soon after, he landed firmly with both feet on the ground .

Boom!

Energy rippled outward .

Zing!

The Jasper Saber flew from the shockwave back into Yu Zhenghai’s hand . He tightened his grip around the saber .

Gu Yiran gulped . Even among Eight-leaf cultivators, there were different levels . Although he was one of the eight great generals, faced with Yu Zhenghai, he keenly felt his presence and cultivation base were lacking in comparison . He did not wish to fight against such a powerful opponent . He did not even want to meet such an elite .

Yu Zhenghai turned around slowly and looked at Gu Yiran . He said tonelessly, “Gu Yiran?”

“Yu… Yu Zhenghai?”

As soon as Gu Yiran finished speaking, Yu Zhenghai struck with his palm .

Bam!

Gu Yiran blocked the attack with his arm and stumbled three steps back .

Yu Zhenghai shook his head . “Eight great generals?”

“You… you…”

Yu Zhenghai struck again . The palm seal pushed forward and struck Gu Yiran’s arms precisely .

Bam!

Gu Yiran took five steps backward .

Yu Zhenghai said in a grim tone, “Challenging the Evil Sky Pavilion?”

“I… I…”

Yu Zhenghai struck for the third time .

Boom!

With this strike, Gu Yiran rode on the momentum, stepped into the air, turned around, and fled .

‘Run!’

The moment Gu Yiran saw Yu Zhenghai, he knew that he could not possibly win . Running away was the only option available . He could only keep his life if he fled . He rose into the air . Expansive Heavenly Energy shrouded his Eight-leaf avatar .

“How can you leave? I’m just getting started!” Yu Zhenghai forcefully flung his Jasper Saber out .

The Jasper Saber spun like a top and shot out with a speed that far surpassed Gu Yiran’s speed .

Halfway toward its target, the Jasper Saber released a powerful spinning energy .

The Great Dark Heaven Memorial, Dark Heaven Starlight .

The trees and plants within 100 meters were felled by the energy .

It was also at this moment the Dark Heaven Starlight passed through Gu Yiran’s body .

Bam!

A chip could be seen on Gu Yiran’s avatar . He had no choice but to recall his avatar and drop down to the grown . He wore a frightened expression on his face as saw Yu Zhenghai approaching . He put up all his defenses as he retreated and cried out, “I have no wish to fight you!”

“Will the fight stop just because you want it to?” Yu Zhenghai had one hand on his back as he walked toward Gu Yiran .

Was this a joke? Gu Yiran was one of the eight great generals while Yu Zhenghai was the Sect Master of the Nether Sect . He would conquer the Divine Capital sooner or later . They were both enemies . How could they not fight?

Gu Yiran seethed in anger . “I admit your cultivation base is more profound than mine… However, you might not necessarily have an advantage if we fight to the death . ”

Yu Zhenghai looked at Gu Yiran like a wild wolf looking at a rabbit awaiting its death . “You can try . ” He flicked with his hand .

Bam!

The Jasper Saber spun out .

Stamping Saber!

Several energy sabers flew erratically . They looked both mystical and peculiar at the same time .

Gu Yiran did not expect Yu Zhenghai to attack without warning . His expression changed as he quickly joined his palms together . Expansive Heavenly Energy was stirred up around him .

At the same time, Yu Zhenghai moved swiftly with a speed that surpassed the Jasper Saber .

Grand technique!

In just a blink of an eye, Yu Zhenghai appeared before Gu Yiran and struck with a palm .

Bam!

The palm seal struck Gu Yiran’s chest .

Gu Yiran slid back on the ground . His blood essence surged and his breathing stopped for a moment!

Bam!

Gu Yiran crashed on a tree .

The Jasper Saber did not attack . Instead, it flew back to Yu Zhenghai’s hand .

Gu Yiran pressed his chest and looked at Yu Zhenghai incredulously . His attacks were fierce, but his control was precise . Based on this, one could see how experienced he was in combat .

Yu Zhenghai said, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? One of the great eight generals bullying an old man?”

“…” Gu Yiran wanted to say that he was an old man as well!

Huang Shijie felt slightly awkward when he heard Yu Zhenghai’s words .

Yu Zhenghai continued to advance .

Gu Yiran’s eyes reddened as he said, “You’re only striking a man when he’s down . ”

“In that case, let me allow you three strikes . ” Yu Zhenghai extended his left hand in an inviting gesture .

“Are you trying to humiliate me?” It was only then that Gu Yiran realized, with Yu Zhenghai’s strength, Yu Zhenghai could have killed him with a move . However, Yu Zhenghai did not .

“Mhm . ” Yu Zhenghai nodded .

“A soldier can be killed but not humiliated . ”

“Some people don’t deserve respect . ”

“Fine, fine, fine…” Gu Yiran repeated the same word over and over again . It seemed like he was close to breaking down .
