Firmament Sword

”Go to hell!”

Xu Luo was like a maddened tiger. He leaped into the air, concentrating all his body’s True Essence into his right arm and viciously slammed a punch toward the Yan Army soldier’s head!

”Breaking Army Seven Kills!”

”Broken Tendons and Bones!”

BOOM!

A sound like a sonic boom ripped through the air. Xu Luo’s speed had reached its absolute limit!

This Yan Army soldier had managed to escape One-Line Heaven Gorge with his life, so his skills were naturally extraordinary. He had even reached the realm of a Tier One Great Sword Master!

Normally, he shouldn’t have been defeated in a single move by a Martial Artist of the same rank.

But Xu Luo was just too fast!

So fast that in the instant Xu Luo appeared, the man hadn’t even registered that an enemy had arrived!

Furthermore, the aura erupting from Xu Luo had reached an ultimate state!

Fury at its peak, his presence was like a mountain!

The Yan Army Great Sword Master had only just managed to turn his head. Before he could react in any way, his skull was struck by Xu Luo!

BANG!

Like a watermelon smashed to bits by a rock!

This Yan Army soldier, a Great Sword Master, had his head utterly obliterated by Xu Luo’s punch!

The gleaming, sharp war blade fell to the ground with a CLANG. The headless corpse of the Yan Army Great Sword Master remained standing, not falling over right away!

WAAH!

The little girl, held tightly in the old man’s arms, burst into tears.

The old man, however, was completely stupefied by the sight of Xu Luo descending like a Celestial God, so shocked he lost the ability to speak.

Xu Luo kicked the Yan Army Great Sword Master’s corpse over and immediately rushed elsewhere.

By this time, Xu Jie and the others had also charged into the village. In teams of two, they headed straight for the rampaging Yan Army soldiers.

A full day and night of torrential rain had severely drained the Yan Army’s stamina. The combat strength of the Sword Disciples, Swordsmen, and Sword Masters among them was far worse than usual. They were taken down by members of the Martial Soul Squad in almost a single exchange.

However, there were still a few experts among this group. The Great Sword Master whose head Xu Luo had just obliterated was only one of them; besides him, there were four other surviving Martial Artists at the Great Sword Master Realm.

These few men had initially paid no mind to the youths of the Martial Soul Squad. They never expected this fierce group of teenagers to be like a pack of wolves entering a flock of sheep, killing without mercy, each one possessing considerable strength.

One Yan Army Great Sword Master, who had been about to assault a woman, had a cold glint in his eyes. Seeing Xu Jie rushing over, he sneered, spat a thick glob of phlegm, and gripped his blade. A powerful aura suddenly erupted from him, forming a True Essence Aura.

He laughed malevolently. ”Little bastard, I was in a bad mood, and you just had to rush over to die. HAHAHAHA, now die for me!”

WHOOSH!

Sword Qi flared out!

A shrill sound tore through the air, fast as a meteor, the flash of the blade like lightning!

The blade chopped viciously toward Xu Jie’s head.

This strike was unavoidable!

If it landed, Xu Jie would surely die a gruesome death on the spot!

The suppression from a higher realm was nearly impossible to overcome!

Xu Jie spent his days forging iron and grinding swords, tempering his mind and body, but the fiery spirit flowing through his veins had not diminished one bit.

Seeing that the strike was unavoidable, his bull-headed temper flared. He didn’t dodge or evade the enemy’s killing blow!

He swung the incomparably sharp greatblade in his hands and hacked viciously at the Yan Army’s Great Sword Master expert!

”If I’m going to die, you’re coming with me!”

Xu Jie let out an enraged roar and charged forward, ready to face death.

”Second Brother!” Over on the side, Sui Yan roared and charged the Yan Army Great Sword Master from the flank.

”Little bastards, want to trade a life for a life? Dream on!” The Yan Army Great Sword Master blocked with his blade, producing a deafening clang of metal on metal.

He knocked Xu Jie’s blade aside.

A shower of sparks nearly blinded them. A huge nick appeared on the blade in the Yan Army Great Sword Master’s hand.

But Xu Jie’s own qi and blood were in turmoil. It felt as if his organs had been displaced, and he couldn’t suppress a mouthful of blood, which he violently spat out.

BANG!

The Yan Army Great Sword Master kicked the charging Sui Yan, sending him flying back while spitting blood.

Smiling malevolently, he walked toward Xu Jie.

”Little bastard, nice blade. It’s Grandpa’s now!” he said, raising his own blade and viciously chopping at Xu Jie’s neck.

”Die!”

SWISH!

A streak of yellow light shot past the roaring Yan Army Great Sword Master at an incredible speed.

SHK!

Half of the Yan Army Great Sword Master’s head was sliced clean off!

The Yan Army Great Sword Master let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Immediately after, Xu Jie, who had managed to struggle back to his feet, chopped off his head with one strike. The body fell heavily to the ground!

The Great Sword Master was dead. Xu Jie was victorious!

THUMP!

Xu Jie fell to one knee, muttering, ”Who helped me?”

’Master Mao! It was Master Mao! Master Mao is brave and invincible! Master Mao is peerlessly handsome! Master Mao is the world’s most powerful... Tier Nine Spirit Beast, AAAAAAAAH!’ Uncle Meow Meow roared madly in his mind as he charged toward another Great Sword Master.

As it turned out, Miaomiao hadn’t been bragging to Xu Luo. Martial Artists at the Great Sword Master Realm were like clay chickens and pottery dogs before its sharp claws—utterly defenseless!

The members of the Martial Soul Squad, who had been in a perilous situation, suddenly discovered that for some unknown reason, the incomparably powerful Great Sword Masters were suddenly covered in blood, letting out wretched howls. They had no idea who was helping them.

But who had time to worry about that at a moment like this? First, they had to kill the scum in front of them!

Xu Luo was facing a cold-faced, middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man had a ferocious appearance. His face was fleshy and cruel, his upper body was bare, and he wore only a pair of shorts. The bulging muscles on his arms were like coiled snakes, and his build was incredibly sturdy!

Before Xu Luo arrived, this middle-aged man had been assaulting a young woman in her twenties.

Beside the young woman lay five or six people, scattered haphazardly.

Two elderly people, a young man, and two children—a boy and a girl about eight or nine years old...

At this moment, all of them had lost their lives, lying in pools of blood.

And the young woman who was being assaulted had long since fainted.

The middle-aged man had turned a deaf ear to everything happening outside. The instant Xu Luo burst into the room, a low growl escaped his throat as he climaxed...

Xu Luo charged forward in a fury, throwing a Great Mountain Collapse punch, but the middle-aged man met it with a punch of his own, knocking him back.

Although he wasn’t injured, his qi and blood churned, leaving him with a deeply uncomfortable feeling.

The middle-aged man, however, stood up unhurriedly, slowly pulled up his shorts, tied the waistband, and looked at Xu Luo with a mocking expression.

”Interesting... so young, only eighteen or nineteen, I’d guess? Yet you can already form a True Essence Aura and have reached the Great Sword Master Realm where you can release your True Essence. Which sect’s disciple are you, out gaining experience? Why get involved in this mess?” When the middle-aged man mentioned the word ”sect,” his pupils contracted slightly, but his expression remained one of indifference.

”You animal! Did these innocent people ever provoke you?” Xu Luo snarled, gnashing his teeth at the large man, while simultaneously trying to contact Miaomiao with his Divine Thought.

This middle-aged man before him was at least a Tier Eight Great Sword Master. His strength was in no way inferior to Wei Yun, who had died at the hands of Miaomiao and Xu Luo!

Xu Luo was somewhat surprised that such a powerful expert was hidden among the enemy’s grain transport convoy.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel fortunate. Sui Yan’s Mechanical Skill, the terrain of One-Line Heaven Gorge, the negligence of the Yan Army’s Reconnoitre... all these factors combined had put timing, terrain, and morale all on the Martial Soul Squad’s side.

Otherwise, for a group like them to think they could affect that supply convoy would have been a fool’s dream!

”Provoke? Hmph, how naive!” the middle-aged man said, looking coldly at Xu Luo. ”I don’t wish to be your enemy. What’s happening here has nothing to do with you. If you leave now, I can spare your life! Otherwise...”

”Don’t even think about it! What right does a scumbag like you have to keep living in this world?” Xu Luo shouted coldly. ”Even if I have to give up my life today, I’m going to make sure you don’t leave this place!”

”Little brat, you think I’m actually afraid of you? I was kind enough to offer you a way out, but you refused it. You’re looking for death? Then go die!” An incomparably immense aura suddenly erupted from the large man, pressing down on Xu Luo like a collapsing mountain.

BOOM!

A layer of Fist Aura, filled with berserk power, appeared on the large man’s fist as he smashed it toward Xu Luo’s head.

The Fist Aura let out a roaring boom as it tore through the air. The wind it generated was alone enough to make it nearly impossible to stand!

But Miaomiao was nowhere to be found. Xu Luo had been trying to contact it for some time with no success.

He couldn’t help but grit his teeth, circulate all the True Essence in his body, and pour it into his right arm. He threw a punch straight at the large man’s fist!

”Breaking Army Seven Kills!”

”Great Mountain Collapse!”

BANG!

With a tremendous crash, Xu Luo’s body was sent flying like a willow catkin caught in the wind.

However, a crisp crack of breaking bone also came from the large man’s fist.

His right fist had been shattered by Xu Luo’s Great Mountain Collapse punch!

”AH! My hand! You little bastard, I’ll tear you limb from limb!” The man’s face twisted completely in pain. A wolf-like howl escaped his throat as his body turned into a bolt of lightning. He charged directly at Xu Luo, smashing down with his uninjured left fist!

”Die!” the middle-aged man roared deafeningly.

’A life for a life, you think I’m really afraid of you?’ Xu Luo’s body had once been weak, but his spirit had never been lacking!

”Fuck you... Al! Kaid! Blast!”

Xu Luo, spitting blood, laughed maniacally as he roared the three words.

In that instant, a boundlessly vast power erupted from his entire body. This power was like a raging tidal wave, completely ignoring the middle-aged man’s defenses as it transformed into an invisible tsunami, crashing down on him with unstoppable force.

In the distance, Miaomiao, who had been enthusiastically slaughtering Yan Army soldiers, let out a panicked shriek. ”Human, you bastard! You can’t die! If you die, what will Master Mao do?!”

This cry was heard clearly by almost everyone.

Immediately, Miaomiao’s figure vanished into thin air, frantically rushing in Xu Luo’s direction.
