Chapter 776: The Dragon Saber’s Consciousness

Lester’s words woke up most of the veterans. They were indeed the Sucking Blood Clan, also known as vampires. Since both sides were hostile towards each other, weren’t the people from the clan asking a human’s advice on cultivation practices something that would cause a huge issue?

“That makes sense. Thank god, Lester is a lot calmer and steadier. We’re really muddleheaded.”

“That’s right. Our eagerness to break through the bottleneck and reach the level of Martial Venerable has caused us to forget that we are from the Sucking Blood Clan.”

“If we seek advice on cultivation practices from that big shot there, we might bring huge trouble for us that might even wipe out the Sucking Blood Clan.”

All the veterans nodded their heads and realized that Lester’s words made perfect sense. At the same time, they broke into cold sweats thinking about the idea they had earlier.

“He’s just a Martial Saint. With enough time, I’m sure I can reach that level as well. And, when that time comes, it’ll be our Sucking Blood Clan’s turn to rise,” Louis confidently said, rubbing the tip of his nose with his thumb.

“Too much confidence is arrogance!” Grand Patriarch reprimanded without hesitation.

Louis was a little upset deep down but didn’t have the guts to answer back.

Lester asked, “How’s Little Sister?”

“I’ve sent her to the blood pool. Her injuries will heal really quickly soaking in it.”

Louis replied with an evil-looking face, “I’ll bring some people with me later and make sure I bring back those two fat pigs that slipped through the net. I’ll make them suffer and make sure they neither live nor die!”

“You can’t!” Lester shouted, raising his hand.

“Why not?” Louis’s face was filled with confusion.

Lester looked into the sky. “It is a matter of great uncertainty that a Martial Saint entered the Dark Forest. If not handled properly, this might cause an extremely big problem for the clan. We’ll stop wandering around the Dark Forest the next few days, and it’s best if we don’t leave Mu City either. We’ll wait for the big shot to leave before doing anything else.”

“That’s right. From today, everyone from the clan is not allowed outside. Stay in Mu City. You’re not allowed to go anywhere!” Grand Patriarch agreed. It was obvious that he was worried Louis’ tactlessness would anger the big shot.

“We’re going to let those two fat pigs off easily?”

Louis was really angry, especially towards Xiao Luo who he detested to the core. He could barely explain how pissed off he was that they were letting him off so easily.

“We’ll have to let them go for sure. There’s no need to take any sort of risk for two preys like that!”

Lester said in a tone that made it hard for anyone to defy him, “Second Brother, this time you better listen to me and Grand Patriarch’s decision. Otherwise, you can’t blame me if I ignore the fact that we’re brothers, understood?”

“Alright. I’ll listen to you.”

Louis might say that, but he was extremely unwilling to let them go. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist as he looked into the distant sky.

…

When Xiao Luo was done practicing, the huge spiritual energy vortex slowly dissipated as well. The air between heaven and earth slowly returned to its normal flow from a solidified state.

He opened his eyes and looked into the far distance, making his vision reach even further, so far in fact that he could clearly spot an ant crawling on a tree roughly 500 meters away. He could even see the entire process of him using his senses to exchange information with the ant.

He could also hear a lot more. If he wanted to, he could even hear the sound of a mosquito flapping its wings from over 10 meters away.

He lightly clenched his fist. This long-lost power, this long-lost feeling, it had only been three days since he had been injured and his skills had been impaired, but these three days to him felt as long as a century. Only with strong powers could he provide himself a sense of security.

He noticed Duck Emperor flying after looking around. He waved his hands and communicated with a voice transmission, “What are you up so high for?”

After hearing that, Duck Emperor was uncontrollably triggered and dived downwards like a mini-fighter jet. It smacked its wings on Xiao Luo’s head. “Screw your ducking mum! Do you think I wanted to do that? You goddamn brat! The things you’ve done while healing up with your technique was extremely terrifying. Look at our surroundings! Mountains have collapsed, the ground has sunk, and those ancient trees that are hundreds of thousands of years old have been reduced to ash. The cliff beneath your butt has turned into a column. It’s all because of you. If this duck here didn’t fly up high, I’d have kicked the bucket like those trees over there.”

Xiao Luo finally took a serious look. He had sat cross-legged on the edge of a cliff last night, but the cliff was now gone and only a columnar stone mountain was left beneath him. When his true inner force was gone, the remaining column crumbled as if it had been precision blasted and turned into a bunch of crushed stone. Xiao Luo remained floating without any support and had a shocked look on his face.

“You’d be huge if you were in the house demolitions industry back in your original world!” Duck Emperor complained.

Xiao Luo was too lazy to reply and changed the topic, “Where’s my saber?”

Duck Emperor pulled the Dragon Saber out from the space ring and threw it to Xiao Luo. “Here. It’s just a broken saber. This duck here can barely give two shits about it.”

“Pa—”

The saber in Xiao Luo’s hands lightly smacked Duck Emperor’s head like a stick. It was so painful that Duck Emperor quacked in pain.

It stared at Xiao Luo angrily. “What was that for? I want to hear you explain!”

“It has nothing to do with me. It was the Dragon Saber who wanted to hit you.” Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows.

Duck Emperor opened its eyes wide and felt like its IQ had taken a drastic hit. “Do you think I’m going to believe that?”

“If you don’t believe me, then try scolding it once more and see what happens,” Xiao Luo said indifferently.

Duck Emperor refused to believe him, “Sure, I’ll scold it once more. It’s just a broken saber. Which ducking mum would even give two shits about it? During the time you were injured and lost your skills, it couldn’t do anything to help at all. What Dragon Saber? More like a Worm Saber!”

This time, the Dragon Saber was really angry. It freed itself from Xiao Luo’s control. The blade trembled violently, letting out a buzzing sound. Although it was just a blade and might not have an expression, anyone could feel its anger right now.

“Screw its grandpa duck! This… What is this situation here?”

Duck Emperor was shocked and looked at Xiao Luo. “Goddamn brat, has this blade turned into a god?”

“It’s made from a great meteorite in the sky from the original world. A blade spirit has been bred in this blade over the thousands of years, and it has already developed a consciousness,” Xiao Luo explained.

“Screw its grandpa duck! So it has really turned into a god.” Duck Emperor struggled to swallow some saliva.

At that moment, the saber had already started to launch its attack. It didn’t get out of the scabbard and headed straight towards Duck Emperor with the scabbard. It was as fast as light.

“My god!”

Duck Emperor didn’t have the guts to go head-to-head against it and dodged immediately.

But even though it dodged at a really fast speed, the saber was equally fast as well. Missing its target, the tip of the saber turned right away and headed straight towards it again.

Duck Emperor dodged again, and the Dragon Saber smashed into the top of a mountain. With a loud boom, the portion of that mountain was smashed into pieces.
