Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1520: Chapter 1521: Useless Offerings

Ye Luo had long understood in his heart that there must be spies from the Yingchen Family among these people. However, what Ye Luo never expected was that they would betray so instantly upon seeing members of the Yingchen Family!

No, perhaps to them, they had never betrayed in the first place!

But so what? Since they dared to attack Ye Luo, they were his enemies regardless!

The Lingyun Sword suddenly twisted, and a flash of sword light immediately shot out. In an instant, a traitor was directly split into two halves.

However, this was only the beginning.

”Lingyun Sword Technique, Fourth Form, Sword Shadow Unmatched!”

Ye Luo’s figure shifted, and he seemed to transform into countless replicas. Sword light shimmered across the sky, targeting not only the traitors but also the Yingchen Family guards who had joined the fray!

Blood splattered everywhere, and in just a moment’s time, dozens of Yingchen Family members were left decapitated!

The sheer might of one sword strike terrified the Yingchen Family guards, causing them all to retreat immediately!

Terrifying destructive power—and it was an area attack!

Only at this moment did people truly realize the overwhelming strength of Ye Luo!

...

”Damn it, how is he this powerful!”

Yingchen Dao cursed inwardly. He was aware of Ye Luo and somewhat familiar with Ye Luo’s past achievements. However, based on the information he had, although Ye Luo was indeed strong, he should not have been *this* strong!

This young prince’s talent was simply monstrous!

No wonder the Family Head had decisively ordered his elimination!

Someone like this, if they couldn’t become an ally, could only be killed preemptively. Moreover, Ye Luo had already expressed hostility!

With such talent, if given time to grow, who could ever stand against him?

”Attack! Everyone, attack! Whoever slays this wretch shall be granted the title of Viscount, along with high-grade magical treasures and spiritual materials!”

Yingchen Dao roared, commanding the guards beside him to take action again.

Suddenly, one of the guards near Yingchen Dao’s side had a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

Viscount!

Although it was just a lower-ranked noble title, it signified entry into nobility—a dream many people held for a lifetime!

As the City Lord, Yingchen Dao had a number of retainers under his service. They typically possessed fair skills but lacked noble ranks!

The noble titles of the Great Tang Empire were indeed based on strength, but that didn’t mean having strength alone guaranteed a title.

The impact of earning a noble’s title on a person’s status and trajectory was self-evident.

At this moment, this retainer’s heart had already been swayed!

”Back off, all of you! This kid’s head belongs to me—Blade Maniac yields no competition!”

Blade Maniac!

An impressive name, though it remained to be seen whether he lived up to it!

Ye Luo remained unmoved, calmly observing Blade Maniac, who was charging toward him. With just one glance, Ye Luo had already deduced that Blade Maniac was a sixth-realm Qi Cyclone practitioner and had remained in the sixth realm for a significant amount of time!

This fact alone suggested that Blade Maniac’s talent was average. However, since he’d been in the sixth realm for so long, his foundation was likely very solid!

At this moment, Blade Maniac unleashed his signature move directly.

”Thousand Blades Sever and Dance, Chaotic Blade Technique!”

With a wild shout, Blade Maniac began spinning furiously. As he spun, wisps of white light rose up from his body.

These white lights were all blade Qi!

Oddly, however, these blade Qi did not immediately attack but instead gathered around Blade Maniac, forming a dense cluster of energy!

The gathering process continued for quite some time!

During this period, Ye Luo could have killed him countless times.

Yet, Ye Luo did nothing and merely watched.

Because this technique of gathering blade Qi around oneself was something Ye Luo had never seen before!

Previously, Ye Luo had encountered enemies capable of unleashing countless sword Qi or blade Qi in a single moment. However, they achieved this by rapidly consolidating spiritual power within their bodies to instantly generate multiple streams of energy!

Blade Maniac, on the other hand, accumulated his Qi methodically, one stream at a time!

On the surface, the difference might seem negligible, but in truth, it was enormous!

Simultaneously generating a thousand streams of blade Qi versus accumulating one stream at a time until reaching a thousand—it’s obvious the former consumed far less energy!

Most importantly, the technique of gathering blade Qi around oneself without dispersing its strength was incredibly rare!

Thus, Ye Luo chose not to act, hoping to glean some insights from Blade Maniac’s blade technique.

Unfortunately, after watching for a while, Ye Luo gained nothing. This was because Blade Maniac’s technique was far too simplistic!

There was nothing for Ye Luo to learn!

The reason Blade Maniac could gather blade Qi so quickly was not due to exceptional talent or formidable skill, but simply because of rote repetition and muscle memory.

He must’ve used this move countless times before!

As the countless streams of blade Qi surged toward Ye Luo, Ye Luo only curled his lips in disdain.

With such meager power, daring to challenge him was nothing short of seeking death!

”Die!”

Only when the blade Qi was close to him did Ye Luo counterattack. But unlike Blade Maniac, Ye Luo merely unleashed a single flash of sword light—a profoundly concentrated stream of sword Qi!

”Boom!”

A thunderous explosion erupted in mid-air as Ye Luo’s sword strike pierced through Blade Maniac’s countless attacks, continuing toward Blade Maniac himself!

As for Ye Luo, his figure shifted slightly and had already vanished from the original spot!

Blade Maniac froze for a moment. In his eyes, Ye Luo, so young and seemingly only at the first-realm Qi Cyclone level, should have been an easy target. But only after clashing with him did he realize that Ye Luo’s strength could not be judged by appearances!

Ye Luo had deceived countless opponents with his seemingly ordinary level, and yet there were always more who fell for it!

First-realm Qi Cyclone?

Sorry, although Ye Luo’s body contained just one major Qi Cyclone, he possessed countless minor cyclones. Never try to assess Ye Luo with conventional cultivation metrics—doing so would only lead to a tragic outcome!

”Whoosh!”

As the sword light cut through, Blade Maniac foolishly attempted to resist it head-on. Perhaps, in his view, Ye Luo’s sword had been weakened significantly by his blade Qi, making it easy to block!

But that assumption was entirely his own delusion. With such feeble blade Qi, he couldn’t even diminish Ye Luo’s sword Qi by much!

”Thud!”

The sound of sword Qi penetrating flesh echoed, and Blade Maniac stared dumbfounded at his own chest.
