Chapter 2034: The Choice of Blade Sect
Clive Blade also made his move, wielding a nearly two-meter-long broadsword that unleashed a Thunder Blade.
He didn’t use his full strength, only about eighty to ninety percent of his power.
A loud crash echoed as the void cracked inch by inch.
Simultaneously, Billy and Clive Blade were each blasted a kilometer away, evenly matched.
On the ground, Ryder Blade and Hawkeye Blade had already shown expressions of extreme shock when Billy activated Cracked Sky.
After Billy and Clive Blade landed, Hawkeye Blade looked at Billy and asked, “Mr. Billy, what was that technique called? Where did you learn it?”From NôvelDrama.Org.
“The technique is called Cracked Sky, taught by a senior from a lower-tier star domain,” Billy replied.
“Cracked Sky?” Clive Blade approached with a look of astonishment. “Why does your technique resemble our Blade Sect’s Phantom Blade Technique?”
“I honestly don’t know,” Billy shook his head, genuinely unsure.
“If I remember correctly, my father once mentioned something,” Ryder Blade said thoughtfully.
“Thousands of years ago, the Sect Master who created the Phantom Blade Technique and Phantom Sword Technique of the Blade and Sword Sect met a talented genius from a lower-tier star domain.”
“That genius was skilled in both sword and blade techniques, with talents comparable to the Sect Master.”
“However, due to the law of heaven and earth, that genius’s martial cultivation wasn’t very high.”
“Later, with his assistance, our Sect Master created the Phantom Blade Technique and Phantom Sword Technique.”
“Really?” Billy and the others couldn’t help but exclaim.
Could it be true?
The Cracked Sky Blade Technique and Five Elements Blade Dance were created by the first dean of Canyon View Institute. Could he have had some connection with a past Sect Master of the Blade and Sword Sect?
Though it sounded far-fetched, they began to believe it.
Otherwise, it was hard to explain why Cracked Sky was so similar to the Phantom Blade Technique of the Blade Sect.
“I only heard this from my father; I can’t verify its truth,” Ryder Blade shook his head slightly.
After a brief pause, he looked at Clayton Acevedo. “Elder Clayton, you brought Mr. Billy to the Blade Sect not just to demonstrate a technique, right?”
“He also knows the Phantom Sword Technique and has mastered it to the Great Perfection Realm,” Clayton Acevedo replied without directly answering.
“Oh?” Hawkeye Blade looked at Clayton Acevedo in surprise. “Elder Clayton, are you talking about the Phantom Sword Technique?”
“Of course,” Clayton Acevedo nodded.
“The Phantom Sword Technique has been found?” Hawkeye Blade’s face was full of astonishment.
“The Phantom Sword Technique was in a lower-tier star domain. Billy Boy has already handed it over to the Sword Sect,” Clayton Acevedo nodded again.
“The Phantom Sword Technique was in a lower-tier star domain?” Hawkeye Blade was once again taken aback.
He then looked at Billy. “Mr. Billy, you truly are a legendary genius, even mastering the Phantom Sword Technique…”
However, he stopped mid-sentence as he thought of something.
Ryder Blade’s face also showed a peculiar expression, clearly thinking of the same thing.
“Elder Clayton, you brought Mr. Billy here to send him to the forbidden land?” Hawkeye Blade asked after calming himself.
“Hmm?” Clive Blade finally reacted and exclaimed in surprise.
For nearly a thousand years, opening the forbidden land had been the greatest wish of the Blade and Sword Sect!
During this time, many talented geniuses from both sects had tried and failed without exception.
One reason was the missing Phantom Sword Technique; another was that few in the Blade Sect could truly comprehend the Phantom Blade Technique.
Hearing Clayton Acevedo’s words now, Clive Blade couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope.
If they could open the forbidden land and retrieve the profound skills left by their ancestors, both the Blade Sect and Sword Sect would undoubtedly regain their former glory!
“It depends on whether your Blade Sect is willing,” Clayton Acevedo responded.
“Elder Clayton, although Mr. Billy’s technique is similar to the Phantom Blade Technique, it’s not exactly the same…” Hawkeye Blade took a deep breath before speaking.
“That’s why I brought him to the Blade Sect!” Clayton Acevedo interrupted him.
“Guide him. With his talent in blade techniques, I believe it won’t take long for him to succeed!”
Before they could respond, he added, “But you need to decide quickly because his time is limited!”
“Elder Clayton is referring to Yheng Institute?” Ryder Blade asked.
“In my estimation, Yheng Institute will attack within ten days, likely with full force. The Sword Sect alone won’t be able to hold them off,” Clayton Acevedo nodded and continued.
“So you have two choices.”
“First, guide him in mastering the Phantom Blade Technique quickly and try to open the forbidden land before Yheng Institute arrives.”
“Second, abandon the forbidden land and protect yourselves. Yheng Institute might not target the Blade Sect immediately.”
“But if Yheng Institute destroys the Sword Sect first, there’s no telling if they’ll come after you next!”
Ryder Blade and Hawkeye Blade both exhaled deeply without making a decision.
It was a tough choice for them!
They understood that Clayton Acevedo’s first suggestion implied betting on finding an ancestor’s soul in the forbidden land to counter Yheng Institute.
But no one could guarantee its existence!
If it didn’t exist, the Blade Sect would face disaster!
If they aligned with Billy and Yheng Institute attacked, they couldn’t stay out of it.
Without an ancestor’s soul in the forbidden land, even combined forces of the Blade Sect and Sword Sect wouldn’t stand a chance against Yheng Institute!
On the other hand, choosing self-preservation might keep them out of immediate danger but would mean losing a chance to return to their peak.
Moreover, as Clayton Acevedo said, if the Sword Sect fell, how long could the Blade Sect survive?
“We don’t have much time; you’d better decide quickly!” Clayton Acevedo urged them again.
“Elder Clayton, Mr. Billy has Nine Dragons Cauldron in his body. I’m worried that besides Yheng Institute, other forces…” Hawkeye Blade took another deep breath before speaking again.
“I can’t answer that; we can only gamble!” Clayton Acevedo replied. “Anyway, our Sword Sect has decided to stand with Billy Boy!”
“Father…” Hawkeye Blade turned to Ryder Blade for guidance.
Clearly, he couldn’t decide on his own!
“Since the Sword Sect is so determined, our Blade Sect will stand with you!” Ryder Blade took a deep breath before speaking. “Rather than waiting for death slowly, let’s take a chance with the Sword Sect and Mr. Billy!”
“I’m glad I didn’t misjudge you!” Clayton Acevedo breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, old Sect Master!” Billy bowed as well.
For him, this was undoubtedly the best path!
Otherwise, he would have had to leave Bladesong City with his people and find a secluded place to avoid Yheng Institute until they grew stronger.
But who could guarantee they wouldn’t be found during that time?
Moreover, he couldn’t be sure Yheng Institute wouldn’t send people to City of the Dead again if they couldn’t find him!
“Then let’s get started!” Clayton Acevedo said again.
