Chapter 2036: Heavy Troops at the Border
A flash of sword light passed, and the phantom figure disappeared simultaneously.
“The person who set up this array is really impressive, they can even distinguish between blade techniques and sword techniques!” Harleen couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Indeed, very impressive!” Billy nodded.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
As they spoke, another figure appeared, this time holding a blade, also possessing late-stage Entering Emptiness Realm strength.
“Let me try first!” Billy said, drawing his blade and slashing towards the figure.
It was still the Heavenly Fury Slash!
As expected, although the figure was sent flying a thousand meters by the blade light, it did not disappear.
“Honey, it seems only the Phantom Blade Technique will work!” Harleen said.
“Yes!” Billy nodded.
He had wanted to test if this array was truly so magical, not only distinguishing between blade and sword techniques but also recognizing specific techniques.
The result was self-evident!
There was no time to think further as the figure charged at them again.
The blade light of the Phantom Blade Technique flashed quickly, and the figure disappeared.
“This array is so mysterious, I really wonder who set it up!” Harleen exclaimed again.
“According to this logic, if one hasn’t mastered the Phantom Blade Technique and Phantom Sword Technique, there’s no way to pass…”
However, before she could finish speaking, she looked ahead in surprise.
Billy was no exception, his eyes fixed ahead with a slightly surprised expression on his face.
In the void a thousand meters away from them, an old man in a green robe suddenly appeared, sitting cross-legged in mid-air with his eyes closed and no aura emanating from him.
“Could this be the last Sect Master of the Blade and Sword Sect?” Harleen asked.
“It should be!” Billy nodded slightly. “Let’s go take a look.”
In no time, they flew to within two or three hundred meters of the old man.
“Senior, sorry to disturb you!” Harleen cupped her hands towards him.
“A thousand years have passed, and finally someone has come!” As soon as Harleen finished speaking, a man’s voice echoed through the space.
However, it was clear that the voice did not come from the old man in front of them; his mouth hadn’t moved at all.
Billy released his spiritual power to probe around but found nothing except endless blade and sword intents.
“Are you two disciples of our Blade and Sword Sect?” The man’s voice sounded again.
“Senior, we are not from the Blade and Sword Sect, but…” Harleen began to respond.
“Hmm?” The man’s tone turned cold. “If you are not disciples of my Blade and Sword Sect, how do you know the Phantom Blade Technique and Phantom Sword Technique? Did you steal our sect’s secrets?”
“Senior, please don’t misunderstand us, we…” Harleen tried to explain again.
“Honey, be careful!”
Before Harleen could finish her sentence, Billy’s pupils contracted sharply. He flashed forward a hundred meters and slashed out with his blade towards the front.
A muffled sound spread out as Billy was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He flew two or three thousand meters before barely stabilizing himself, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Even with his abnormal resistance to attacks, he was seriously injured in just one round.
“Honey!” Harleen exclaimed in shock and quickly flew towards Billy.
She reached him with a worried expression. “Honey, are you okay?”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine!” Billy wiped the blood from his mouth and looked ahead, speaking loudly.
“Senior, we were sent by the current Sect Masters of the Blade Sect and Sword Sect to pay our respects to you…”
“What did you say?” The man interrupted him in a deep voice. “Blade Sect and Sword Sect?”
“Senior may not know this, but a thousand years ago, shortly after you sealed yourself here, the Blade and Sword Sect split into two,” Harleen explained.
“Is that true?” The man continued to ask.
“If you don’t believe us, you can go out and see for yourself!” Billy said.
“A thousand years ago, you took most of the advanced techniques of the Blade and Sword Sect with you, leaving only the Phantom Blade Technique and Phantom Sword Technique.”
“But these two techniques are too profound for ordinary people to comprehend. The resentment among the disciples grew over time.”
“As time passed, the resentment deepened until it finally erupted. The sect split into two, greatly weakening its strength…”
“Was it my mistake?” The man’s murmuring voice echoed in the void.
As he finished speaking, a phantom figure emerged from the old man’s body.
“Greetings, Senior!” Billy and Harleen bowed simultaneously.
“Tell me about the current situation of the Blade Sect and Sword Sect!” The old man said to them.
“Alright!” Billy nodded.
He then began to explain while mixing in some fabrications.
Meanwhile, Bladesong City was enveloped by an extremely terrifying pressure.
Heavy troops at the border!
“Sword Sect, you have ten breaths to hand over Billy!” An old man’s voice echoed above the city.
“Otherwise, your sect will be destroyed!”
As his words fell, figures flew up from the courtyards of both the Sword Sect and Blade Sect.
They were led by Jericho Acevedo and his son, along with Hawkeye Blade and other elders from both sects. Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces.
The people from Yheng Institute had arrived two days earlier than expected!
Looking up into the sky, they saw about a hundred people flying towards them.
Leading them was Leon Schmitt, the current dean of Yheng Institute!
An eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm expert!
Following him were two men and women from Grand Scribe Pavilion who were sixth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm elders!
Besides these three, there were nearly twenty Perfection Emptiness Realm experts and forty or fifty Entering Emptiness Realm experts!
Yheng Institute truly deserved its reputation as the absolute ruler of this star domain. Such a lineup would make any ordinary force despair!
Compared to Yheng Institute, the other three major families were almost negligible!
Of course, those were just branches of the three major families; their main family strength was unknown!
“Leon Schmitt, long time no see!” Jericho Acevedo called out loudly to him.
“Jericho Acevedo, your Sword Sect is quite bold. You dared to kill members of my Institute for that boy. Who gave you such courage?” Leon Schmitt responded coldly.
“You are mistaken! Our Sword Sect has always adhered to the principle of not offending others unless offended first!” Jericho Acevedo replied.
“A few days ago, your Institute’s people came to Bladesong City and tried to take our honored guest without any reason. Naturally, we had to intervene!”
As he spoke, his heart sank.
The strength of Yheng Institute far exceeded his expectations!
If it weren’t for the soul consciousness of the Blade and Sword Sect’s former Sect Master in the forbidden area, today’s battle would be difficult!
“Not offending others unless offended first! What a joke!” Leon Schmitt said angrily. “Do you think I don’t know what your Sword Sect is planning?”
“If Billy didn’t have the Nine Dragons Cauldron on him, would you still protect him?!”
