Lord Shadow

Xu You gripped his saber tighter even as blood drenching his sleeve.

‘I could not fail today. Not when we have prepared all of this’ Kneeling Saber Xu You thought of this.

If he fails, he did not have the face to meet the Emperor and shows his face in the martial arts world again.

He had hardened his heart and choose to side with the imperial power and now that his true colors are revealed he could no longer back down.

Kneeling Saber Xu You.

There is a reason why his name is Kneeling Saber Xu You. It is not that he likes the title but that is the title the martial arts world gave to him.

In his youth, he is called the Fierce Saber Xu You. He fought against the imperial dynasties and killed many corrupt officials and he has quite the reputation in the martial arts world.

But then he joined the imperial court which gained the derision and disdain of the martial arts world.

Since then he was called the Kneeling Saber.

But even though people dares spoke derisively about him in the martial arts world, the people of Yong did not dare say it since he controls one third of the military power.

There is also the fact that his Perish Saber technique is acknowledge as nearing the level of a grandmaster level technique and he had managed to escape from the Demonic Monarch three strikes in Yongxian Valley.

In his life, Kneeling Saber Xu You is unrestrained and even in the court, he fears no one. But today, that myth of fearlessness was broken.

Like the Eunuch Hong, he takes a step backward the moment that wheelchair moves a step closer to him.

He could not explain the fear he felt deep in his heart. He felt goosebumps rising just being near the man on the wheelchair.

Even when he was trying to run away from the Demonic Monarch, he did not feel such danger.

There is some ancient aura coming out from that black robed grandmaster and the sword intent around him causes Xu Yao broken saber to tremble.

And the scene of the stone pebble floating around the wheelchair and the grass trying to rise to the air spook him.

‘Is there another level after the grandmaster level?’ he thought to himself and was amazed he had even think like that.

Because if there is a level after the grandmaster level, then the Sword Immortal in front of him could truly well be like the Sword Immortal in the stories of myths and legends.

It felt like the Sword Immortal was the all-encompassing heaven and none of his saber attack would even touch the sleeve of the Sword Immortal black robe.

The expression on the face of Demonic Claw Hong and Kneeling Saber Xu Yao is very ugly as he looks at the expert Xi Feng referred as Sword Immortal.

Everyone on top of the mountaintop is looking at the wheelchair as it come closer to that thousands of soldiers.

They did not move and some of them even forgot to breath.

Some storytellers watch this intently, determined to spread this story to the world when the matter on top of this mountain top is concluded.

They all see that black robed expert pushed by Xi Feng stop in front of the famous officials of both Young and Zhou dynasties

The sound of creaking from the wooden spoke rings loudly in this silent surrounding. The entire mountaintop remained quiet.

Other than the sound of the chirping birds and the rustling sound of the wind, there is no other sound.

It looks calm and peaceful. But everyone knows this atmosphere could be broken with one sword strike.

They all just looked at the direction of the black robed expert with unease and a feeling of anxiousness.

Countless gazes were gathered there and both Xu You and Eunuch Hong is trying to calm their hearts

They didn’t know what Xi Feng and his master decided to do but the closer those two come to the imperial forces, they could guess.

Those people in the heterodox sect, the orthodox sect, the spies hidden in both of those camp, and the imperial forces all waited to hear what the Sword Immortal would say.

Azief said calmly to his disciple.

‘This is the last lesson for today. I will teach you how to kill’

The wind blows and some of them gulped in fear. Sweats are forming in the foreheads of the spies and even of all the people on top of the mountaintop remains quiet.

Even though, the Sword Immortal said such thing, no one dares to refute his word.

They all still remember that sharp sword light that seems to be able to cut through anything and how effortlessly the Sword Immortal neutralizes what should be a killing attack from Eunuch Hong to his disciple.

But no one could leave and they did not spoke. They just looked in the direction of the pair of disciple and master with surprise and unease.

They all could feel what happens next will start a great battle on top of this mountains.

And because they feel that both people from the orthodox sect and the heterodox sect tighten their grip on their weapons and they become vigilant and suspicious to the people near them

There is spies from both faction of the martial arts world.

Zhu Yao, Jian Que and Su Meng look at each other and they nodded.

They don’t believe these three heirs of the great sects in the martial arts world will become the spy for the imperial dynasties and so they rushed to each other and form a group of three, their swords pointed towards the others.

The heterodox sects like the Dark Heart Temple and the Thirty-Seven Cave sect come close to each other and began forming their own area of attack.

They both trusted each other.

Demonic Monarch Xie has always hated the imperial families of both dynasty and the Dark Heart Temple only pursue their own path to achieve Oneness.

It was the other sects that they are worried about. The Poison Valley Sect remains alone and they look at the other sect with apparent distrust.

Now, in the mountaintop of the Five Element Mountain, they all knows their enemies.

It is not the heterodox sect fighting the orthodox sect it is the martial arts world fighting against the forces of the imperial family.

The forces of the two dynasties is the soldiers behind the two officials of the two dynasties and the hidden spies in the heterodox sect and the orthodox sect.

The enemies of the martial arts world right now are the imperial dynasties of Yong and Zhou.
