14: Hidden attack

“Xiao Hu, am I brave?”

Panting heavily, Niu Er turned his head back and grinned.

“Super brave.”

Ji Yue'er was a bit speechless.

In front of her and her Revered Master, Niu Er was simply showing off.

Especially her Revered Master; although she didn't know what Realm her Revered Master was in, Ji Yue'er had a premonition that he was definitely very powerful.

Upon hearing this, Niu Er straightened his back. Even if he wanted to appear cool, there was no doubt that his grin, which reached his ears, successfully betrayed him.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked in the direction Ji Yue'er and Li Luo were gazing.

He then grinned and said, “That’s Elder Zhijian Sword Without Trace, from the Qinghe Sect, the upper Sect of our Qinghe Region.”

“His swift swordplay is exquisite, unpredictable and unfathomable.”

Niu Er was slightly excited, his eyes filled with reverence, he said.

In Niu Er’s heart, Li Luo and Ji Yue'er came from a minor, insignificant Sect.

Naturally, they wouldn’t have seen such a great figure.

So, he spoke with a sense of pride.

His eyes glanced at Ji Yue'er, but there was no expected adoration from the Xiao Hu, nor did she exclaim, “Brother Niu Er knows so much!”

Both Ji Yue'er and Li Luo appeared very calm.

Niu Er snorted inwardly and thought, “Just wait, when Elder Sword Without Trace unleashes his power, he will surely awe the entire scene.”

“By then, you will know how right Big Brother Niu Er was.”

“Qinghe Sect, Elder Zhijian?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yue'er still felt a hint of nervousness.

After all, in the Haoran Sect, her Revered Master had killed the Qinghe Sect’s Outer Elder and Genius, which were Outer Elder Ouyang Huo and his son.

However, seeing Li Luo’s calm expression, the Xiao Hu immediately felt much more composed.

At this moment, around the Jade Wall Wolf King, the beast tide surged.

On one hand, they were summoned by the Wolf King.

On the other hand, the sudden appearance of this Jade Wall created a primal sense of pressure within them.

Moreover, they had a premonition that if they could comprehend something from this Jade Wall, it would greatly benefit them.

Therefore, with the Wolf King present, even facing numerous Cultivators, they showed no fear.

“You evil creature, leave quickly, otherwise, I will make you a soul under my sword.”

After exchanging a blow with the Wolf King.

Sword Without Trace said coldly.

His sharp aura steadily climbed.

“Elder Sword is mighty!”

“Elder Sword is invincible.”

“Elder Sword is magnificent.”

The Cultivators present waved their weapons and shouted.

Hearing these shouts, Sword Without Trace’s face showed a hint of smugness.

Undoubtedly, if he could repel this Wolf King today and lead the many Cultivators closer to the Jade Wall, then the prestige of his Qinghe Sect would surely greatly increase.

And his name would surely be spread by word of mouth among the large and small Sects of the Qinghe Region.

He wanted the Treasure Art, and he also wanted the prestige.

And to achieve all this, he only needed to settle one thing, which was to disperse the beast tide.

“Howl.”

As if his dignity had been violated, the Wolf King howled at the sky.

Even the moon-shaped white fur on its forehead turned somewhat blood-red.

“Not good, it’s berserk.”

Seeing this scene, the smugness on Sword Without Trace’s face froze, and his expression became slightly solemn.

“Whoosh.”

The next instant, the Howling Moon Wolf King seemed to transform into a streak of light and shot directly towards Sword Without Trace.

“Bang, bang, bang.”

Some Vicious Beasts along the way, unable to dodge, were directly exploded by the impact of its body.

It was evident how incredibly powerful the berserk Wolf King’s physique had become.

“Sword Prison.”

With a low shout, Sword Without Trace’s sword glow transformed into a crystalline cage, like one crafted from ice, and descended over the Howling Moon Wolf King’s head.

“Crack, bang.”

However, before the many Cultivators could show joy on their faces.

The next instant, the Sword Prison exploded with a boom.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.”

At the same time, the enraged Howling Moon Wolf King opened its maw, and from within, three crescent moon-like wind blades shot out.

They formed a ‘pin’ character shape, attacking Sword Without Trace.

Moreover, the edges of the three wind blades glinted with a sharpness like knife blades.

Even the Void Realm they cut through emitted a sharp, tearing sound like ripping cloth.

“Dragon Roaming Steps!”

Sword Without Trace shouted in a low voice.

The old man’s body suddenly became ethereal and agile, like a roaming Dragon, narrowly dodging the three sharp slashes.

“A third-tier Vicious Beast is indeed powerful.”

Sword Without Trace hadn’t even had time to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Bang, bang, bang.”

Three explosive sounds came from behind him.

The three wind blades directly smashed into the mountain ridge behind, causing an earth-shattering explosion and carving out three massive, bottomless gullies extending for hundreds of feet.

Moreover.

Some Human Race Cultivators, before they could even let out a scream, were directly turned into minced meat.

“Great River Swordplay!”

Suddenly, Sword Without Trace roared from his mouth.

Ji Yue'er was slightly startled. This Qinghe Sect Elder Zhijian, could he also use her Revered Master’s sword art?

However.

Soon, a look of understanding appeared in Ji Yue'er's beautiful, ethereal eyes.

Even she could tell that the Qinghe Sect Elder Zhijian’s Great River Swordplay, compared to what her Revered Master had taught her, was merely superficial.

Moreover, it didn't even contain Sword Intent.

No one noticed that when Sword Without Trace shouted “Great River Swordplay,” Li Luo flicked a blade of grass from his hand.

It shot out directly and disappeared into the Void Realm.

“Boom.”

Sword Without Trace’s Great River Swordplay, as if transformed into a surging great river, directly clashed with the Howling Moon Wolf King’s pouncing wolf claws.

The Void Realm trembled, and the surrounding vegetation was instantly affected by the impact, exploding into fragments.

For a moment, the scene at the very center was slightly blurred.

“Pfft.”

Spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, Sword Without Trace’s body was struck as if by lightning, and his complexion turned ashen.

“My life is over.”

Sword Without Trace was helpless.

Although he was a Grandmaster Realm second-tier powerhouse, there was no doubt that facing this third-tier Vicious Beast, he was still outmatched.

Especially since the Howling Moon Wolf King had noble Bloodline, its combat power at the same tier was even more outstanding.

Thud~!

His body slammed heavily against a rock, feeling as if all his old bones were about to fall apart.

“Ow!”

Just as Sword Without Trace was despairingly waiting for death, suddenly, the pouncing Howling Moon Wolf King let out a tragic howl.

Everyone was startled, and the strong wind blew away the wood chips, revealing the Howling Moon Wolf King’s true form within.

It was seen that one of the Howling Moon Wolf King’s ears was missing from its head, and blood was gushing out.

Perhaps, if it had been a little more accurate, its wolf head would have been sliced open.

The pained Howling Moon Wolf King turned and fled.

“Elder Sword won!”

“Elder Sword won!”

“Elder Sword defeated the Howling Moon Wolf King, that’s awesome.”

“Awesome!”

The Human Race Cultivators roared and cheered, incredibly excited.

Sword Without Trace, whose entire body was sore, was also a bit stunned.

He won?

Are you sure this Howling Moon Wolf King isn't playing me?

But there’s no need for that at all.

Trembling, he stood up, and Sword Without Trace extended his hand in a calming gesture, and the shouts in the arena immediately quieted down.

“Attack, disperse the beast tide, the Treasure Art must belong to our Human Race Cultivators!”

Sword Without Trace’s voice pierced the Void Realm.

Countless Cultivators felt their blood boil and fought furiously.

Without the Wolf King, these beast tides were gradually driven away and fled by the Human Race Cultivators.

“Haha, Xiao Hu, did you see that? Elder Sword truly lives up to his reputation as a top powerhouse of our Human Race, he’s too fierce!”

Niu Er was incredibly excited, as if he were talking about himself.

Ji Yue'er’s watery eyes, however, glanced at her Revered Master beside her.

She felt as if her Revered Master had made a move just now?

“Brother Li Luo, you must be shocked, right? Our Human Race Cultivators should take Elder Sword as an example!”

Niu Er patted Li Luo’s shoulder with great excitement and said.
