Chapter 51: Hidden Killing Intent

Nothing at the new area could be hidden by the grasslands with the exception of the trees found everywhere.

As Su Yun stumbled upon a tall tree, he quickly jumped and with a few strides, he marched up through the branches and foliage. He carefully used the dense foliage of the trees as cover while he closed in on the sound.

Soon after, the area where an explosion had occurred entered his line of sight.

There was an open area within the small forest, but it seemed that the area’s trees were thoroughly and forcibly razed to the ground. Two groups of disciples were standing in the open area. All of them had pulled out their swords. Their eyes were alert and fierce as they stared at each other.

On the ground, several corpses laid. The area was already reduced to a barren plain, but it did not have many battle markings. Apparently, the real clash had not even began, but seeing the drawn crossbows and weapons, it unfortunately seemed that very soon, a fierce battle was about to break out.

Wait!

Su Yun’s eyes suddenly flashed as he stared at two human figures of one group.

Su Xin Yue and Su Xing Yang?

Su Xin Yue was wearing plain swordsman attire and held a weapon provided by Elder Su Shi Long, White Embroidered Blade. On her right shoulder, there was a sword wound. Luckily, it seemed blood had yet to begin dripping from the wound. Her soft wheat colored face was truly pale like a sheet of paper right now.

Su Xing Yang attire was also just as simple. His hands were holding a massive hammer that was very impressive. Nonetheless, he had no small injury. His abdomen was bleeding, while several other parts of his body were also covered with wounds. He seemed to have already experienced many battles.

Leading Su Xing Yang and Su Xin Yue was a handsome young man. He was tall, there was a large scar over his face, but remained intelligent looking and charming. He was wearing a white robe. Furthermore, he was not wielding his sword, since it was still equipped on his waist. His demeanor remained very calm.

At his side, stood a long-haired disciple that looked like a teenager. After looking at these people, Su Yun thought they were very familiar.

“This man’s spirit power is restrained at the moment. From the way he carries himself, one cannot guess his intentions. He could possibly be a spirit intermediate disciple. However, the paper hanging on his waist clearly marks him as an outer sect disciple, this person….who exactly is he?”

As Su Yun whispered to himself, his gaze switched towards the opposite group of disciples.

He didn’t think that he would also recognize some disciples from this group.

Su Nan Ye!

He was now changed into a pure black body armor. He was armed with a expensive heavy sword and his eyes gave a penetrating gaze thick with killing intent.

Nonetheless, he was not the one with the strongest presence. The strongest disciple was in front of him. He was dressed in brown swordsman robes and was an inch shorter than Su Nan Ye.

Both of the man’s hands were holding an armament. He looked completely confident. As he gazed at his opponents, his eyes were full of disdain. It was as if the people before him couldn’t even be considered as his opponents.

He also had that arrogant personality, because he was a disciple from the inner sect.

His cultivation level was at least above stage one of spirit intermediate realm.

“I will only say this one last time, pull out all the Blood Jade Crystals from your body and pay up. Otherwise….this surrounding trees will become your gravestones!” The disciple wearing the brown robes shouted.

“If we do not pay up?” The disciple at the front of the other group nervously asked.

“Do not pay?” The brown robed disciple’s eyes ignited into fierce flames. Without giving any warning, his group immediately took action.

“Then just die!” After he said this, the brown robed disciples activated his spirit power and shrouded his palm. The palm became a claw and like an eagle and its prey, it aimed to kill the handsome outer sect disciple.

He just took action and it was already a killing technique

Although the difference was only between a spirit novice tenth stage and a spirit intermediate first stage, the difference in strength could still be described as vast.

The disciples of the inner sect were all cultivation rank of spirit intermediate realm first stage or more. How could regular disciples be their rivals? Currently, he was only facing one opponent, who was the handsome disciple that was standing at the very front of the group.

As the brown robed man rushed forth, he did not hesitate at all. In a few quick strides, he quickly flicked his left arm and pulled out a blade to stab the his opponent. The spirit aura was truly cascading down in torrents like the Yangtze River dispersing. (Tl: Yangtze river is one of largest rivers in China)

Unexpectedly, his opponent also flew forth.

This one disciple’s sneak attack quickly awakened the other disciples to take action.

Two disciples were now fighting, how could they just watch the battle? Immediately after the two disciples made their moves, the entire battle broke out.

The battle had begun. Each disciples charged forth and the whole scene began to turn very chaotic.

As everyone’s spirit power was activated, the spirit aura that was brought out seemed like dozens of rivers cascading forth. It was a terrible mess. The handsome spirit novice tenth stage disciple was skillfully holding his own with his spirit techniques. His spirit aura was shockingly powerful and terrifying. Nonetheless, the entire battlefield was quilted by numerous clashes.

“Stinking brat, we will take what is rightfully ours!” Su Nan Ye said as he coldly stared at Su Xing Yang. His hands were creating a sweeping sword dance as he aimed straight for Su Xing Yang’s head.

As the blade neared, the surrounding people didn’t dare come near it.

Su Xing Yang clenched his teeth. His brow had become extremely heavy and his sweaty hands raised the sledgehammer he had to block the heavy sword.

Despite this, the spirit aura of the heavy sword cascaded forth like a massive waterfall as it clashed against his hammer.

Su Xing Yang’s whole body trembled from the powerful swing as he barely remained standing.

“Brother! !”

As Su Xin Yue saw this scene, she became suddenly afraid. She quickly sprinted towards him, hoping to prevent Su Nan Ye from killing Su Xing Yang.

Although both man already sustained injuries, Su Nan Ye’s body was still completely fine. Even if Su Xin Yue came, he did not care.

“I will let you experience my divine skill: Ripping Sky Sword Strike!” Su Nan Ye shouted as his spirit power poured into the blade and a sword shadow flew straight towards Su Xin Yue.

Had Su Xin Yue ever seen a sword skill this powerful? Her heart was shocked and she hastily rolled to the side to dodge the incoming attack.

After Su Nan Ye saw that he managed to push back Su Xin Yue, he immediately initiated more clashes and concentrated on taking down Su Xing Yang.

One could only seem him hack once, push once, release once and shake off once.

As the heavy sword hit the hammer, though it seemed as if several powerful forces were adding to its strength, and crashed into Su Xing Yang’s body.

Puchi!

Su Xing Yang’s body suddenly stiffened, his mouth open as a mouthful of blood was quickly spit out. To opponent’s heavy sword strength quickly dissipated.

“Very good!”

Su Nan Ye’s eyes gleamed with a flash. With a sudden kick, he kicked Su Xing Yang straight in the stomach.
