Chapter 153: Chapter 146: Kindred Spirits

Yan Liu encountered such an enemy, feeling extremely troubled. He had just used a precious Reversing Wheel to instantly recover from his injuries.

However, this Reversing Wheel can only be activated once every three months. In the upcoming battles, it would be useless.

Nevertheless, with his body restored to its original state, Yan Liu took a deep breath.

The opponent’s power was too domineering; he couldn’t withstand three moves in a frontal confrontation. Now, he should run as far as he can.

With a twist of the longsword in Yan Liu’s hand, a green sword light ominously drew an arc, placing Yan Liu behind Red Flame.

This move, Flying Swallow Soaring, is the supreme secret technique of the Flying Swallow Sword.

Yan Liu had deep mastery in this swordsmanship technique, and he had even comprehended a brilliant body technique through it.

By moving through a formation of curved sword light, instant space shifting is achieved–this is also Yan Liu’s killing move.

Gao Xuan, who was hiding nearby and watching through a spirit projection, silently praised.

Flying Swallow Soaring, originally a killing move, uses the peculiar variance of the curved sword light to slay enemies.

Yet Yan Liu combined it with a body technique, showing great imagination. Especially his move of unity of body and sword, overcoming the limitations of the body for high-speed displacement–truly ingenious and unique.

Even with Gao Xuan’s level of insight, he had to commend Yan Liu.

However, although Yan Liu’s body technique is exquisite, it offers no means of counterattack, posing no threat to Red Flame.

The initiative of the battle still lay entirely with Red Flame, leaving Yan Liu without any opportunity.

As Red Flame unleashed a storm of attacks and suddenly lost track of Yan Liu’s presence, even he was taken aback.

Yet, with his sharp combat awareness, he didn’t hesitate to strike back with a palm.

Yan Liu rode his sword, leaping out through a window’s hole, intending to deploy his body technique for a rapid escape, but found his path blocked by Wind Blade.

In Wind Blade’s hands, a slender, curved long blade materialized, swiftly slicing toward Yan Liu.

This strike was both fast and fierce, with speed and angle executed to perfection.

Yan Liu had just landed, at a moment when his inner Source Power was at a transitional void. This strike made him incredibly uncomfortable.

With no other option, Yan Liu had to meet the strike with his sword. The Flying Swallow Sword was nimble and carried a hint of treachery; the curved quick sword sliced directly at Wind Blade’s throat.

A sudden surge of green light in Wind Blade’s eyes increased the speed of the green long blade tenfold.

Amidst the flash of green blade light, it cleaved Yan Liu’s brow, splitting him in two.

Yan Liu was dead, and the curved quick sword thus posed no further threat.

“Such quick blades…”

Even Gao Xuan felt a chill in his heart; Wind Blade’s explosive speed almost rivaled his Godslaying Sword.

Luojia’s two high-level experts are indeed formidable. Each one is among the top level 10 experts.

These two guys probably aren’t human!

Such skilled human experts would have no reason to follow Luojia as underlings. Only alien races, for various reasons, would follow Luojia.

Gao Xuan didn’t recognize these two; in his previous life, when he faced Luojia, she was already one of the strongest golden powerhouses. Only Little White Pig accompanied her then.

With the level of Red Flame and Wind Blade, they wouldn’t qualify to accompany the golden-level Luojia.

Yan Family’s actions gave him a chance to probe the depths of Luojia’s power.

While Gao Xuan watched indifferently, the other people in the villa had no such leisure.

Another tenth-level expert, Zhu Hong, residing on the first floor, immediately regained consciousness upon the attack.

Yet Red Flame and Wind Blade were too strong; Yan Liu lasted only a few seconds before being killed.

Zhu Hong initially intended to fight, but after witnessing Yan Liu’s grim fate, his will to battle vanished.

Upon jumping out of the window, Red Flame had already tracked him down.

With a lift of his massive hand, the fierce incomparable Red Flame Palm Force enveloped Zhu Hong.

Having no choice, Zhu Hong drew the Soul-Seeking Bow and shot an arrow.

The guaranteed hit of the Soul-Seeking Arrow struck Red Flame’s left eye, but the high-temperature flames melted it instantly, causing no harm to Red Flame.

The Soul-Seeking Arrow could hit its target, but it couldn’t guarantee to kill the opponent.

Against a monster like Red Flame, the Soul-Seeking Arrow was directly ineffective.

Nonetheless, as Red Flame became distracted dealing with the Soul-Seeking Arrow, a gap appeared in his palm force, allowing Zhu Hong to escape.

Zhu Hong’s body technique was swift, and with a forceful push of his foot, he flew more than ten meters away.

With just a few bounds, Zhu Hong could enter the green belt behind the villa block.

This was a dense forest with a complex and interconnecting environment. Once he entered the woods, there was a chance to get away.

Just as Zhu Hong was about to enter the forest, a streak of green blade light quickly arrived.

The rushing green blade light trailed a hundred-meter-long luminous green arc, which danced in the night like a phantom ribbon with enchanting beauty.

Yet, Zhu Hong was terrified, sensing a fatal threat.

At the brink of life and death, Zhu Hong unhesitantly drew his bow and nocked an arrow such that the Soul-Seeking Arrow seemed to ready its flight, and suddenly the long luminous green arc converged, all flowing into Zhu Hong’s body.

Subsequently, Zhu Hong’s body shattered into seven or eight pieces, blood splattering. The green arc gleamed once more, revealing Wind Blade within the green light.

At this moment, Red Flame landed a palm strike, annihilating the other three people inside the villa.

These three experts weren’t weak either, and even carried exoskeleton armor with them.

However, Red Flame’s assault was too ferocious; the initial high-temperature impact caused the three experts to lose consciousness. Even with exoskeleton armor nearby, they didn’t have time to utilize it.

As Zhu Hong fled, Red Flame had a free hand to turn the villa entirely into a sea of fire, reducing the three experts to ashes on the spot.

The villa burned with blazing red flames illuminating the night sky. The extreme heat and flames also triggered the villa’s alarm system.

The shrill alarm sounded throughout the entire villa complex.

Red Flame was completely indifferent, saying disappointingly to Wind Blade at his side, “No Blood Shadow.”

Wind Blade also wore a grim expression. Although they had just killed many experts, there was a clear disparity with Blood Shadow.

Either they had killed the wrong people, or Blood Shadow had escaped.

Regardless of the scenario, he found it hard to accept.

“If we can’t find Blood Shadow, then kill that stupid pig,” Red Flame said through gritted teeth.

“Are you looking for me?”

Before Red Flame could finish speaking, someone answered.

Red Flame and Wind Blade turned their heads together, only to see a crimson figure standing beneath a tall phoenix tree.

The person’s figure was blurred, and neither their appearance nor body could be clearly seen.

He was obviously sinister and mysterious, yet standing under the tree he naturally exuded an emperor-like majestic aura, as if possessing an overwhelming dominion over all.

No introduction was needed; Red Flame and Wind Blade immediately recognized him: Blood Shadow.

Even though neither of them had seen Blood Shadow before, the aura around him was unique and inimitable.

Wind Blade was very surprised that the other party appeared so openly; what could this mean?

Red Flame, being straightforward, didn’t think too much about it. He sneered, “You’re just in time; come and meet your fate.”

Gao Xuan stood there, his figure oscillating between reality and illusion, and his Source Power aura fluctuating.

Wind Blade couldn’t lock onto his aura, and this made him more cautious. Such a mysterious and unpredictable person, he was the first of his kind encountered in the Human Realm.

Moreover, the man’s calm demeanor added to Wind Blade’s unease.

This ambush seemed to have been a trap?

Wind Blade glanced at the eager Red Flame and warned, “Be careful, use your head.”

Red Flame nodded but paid little attention. “Whatever tricks he has, can he defeat both of us?”

This statement held some truth. Red Flame and Wind Blade were among the highest-level combatants at Level 10.

Due to their special background, both of them had innate racial talents. The same Level 10 Source Power could unleash even more terrifying destructive force in their hands.

Wind Blade didn’t believe Blood Shadow was stronger than the two of them combined. Even Luojia couldn’t achieve that.

On Pegasus Star, they represented the pinnacle of combat power.

Red Flame said, “I think this kid is up to something; let’s just attack.”

Wind Blade hesitated. The opponent must have his calculations to dare show up. Acting rashly might fall into his trap.

Gao Xuan also heard Red Flame’s words and said, “We don’t need to resort to violence; we can discuss whatever issue there is.”

Just as Red Flame was about to speak, Wind Blade stopped him with a look.

Wind Blade said solemnly, “Blood Shadow, you have hindered our major plans. You owe us an explanation.”

“May I know which notable deities you represent?” Gao Xuan asked.

Wind Blade couldn’t determine if Gao Xuan was pretending to be ignorant or genuinely didn’t know.

However, there was no need for restraint in their actions. He said, “We are with the Blood God Association.”

“The Blood God Association, I know.”

Gao Xuan said slowly, “We all serve the Evil God, so why fight each other?”

Hearing Gao Xuan’s words, a trace of anger appeared on Red Flame’s face. He was not like the Human Race; their belief in the God of Blood was extremely devout.

Wind Blade signaled Red Flame to stay calm and asked, “Which deity do you believe in?”

“The All-Knowing God.”

Gao Xuan casually mentioned a deity, which was actually the guise of the Book of All-Knowing.

However, at that moment, no one yet knew the details about the All-Knowing God.

Wind Blade nodded, “I’ve heard of His Excellency.”

He suggested, “We don’t wish to make things difficult with you. Let’s make an oath in the name of our respective Divine Lords, to never interfere with each other from now on.”

“Alright.” Gao Xuan agreed readily.

Wind Blade approached Gao Xuan with Red Flame and said seriously, “An oath established under the witness of the Divine Lord must never be broken.”

“Of course.”

Gao Xuan raised his hand as if to swear to the Divine Lord. At this moment, Red Flame’s body suddenly burst into a blaze of firelight, and he brought down a massive palm strike towards Gao Xuan.

At such close range, the eruption of tens of thousands of degrees of heat would leave no biological structure able to withstand it.

Even an ordinary exoskeleton armor would melt into a lump of scrap metal.

Wind Blade also raised his azure longsword, ready to join forces with Red Flame to besiege Gao Xuan.

From the beginning to the end, Wind Blade and Red Flame had no intention of negotiating.

Even if Blood Shadow was truly a follower of the Evil God, and even if he also served the Master of Blood, there was no need to talk once they decided to fight.

Only a dead enemy would bring reassurance.

Wind Blade probed a few words and used the opportunity to get close to Gao Xuan. He didn’t care about the opponent’s schemes; as long as Red Flame struck first, even the highest Blood Shadow Swordsmanship was of no use.

Red Flame’s palm struck down, and the crimson flame light turned the surrounding trees and plants into fire.

The layer of disguise on Blood Shadow was dissolved in the violent, scorching flames, revealing Blood Shadow’s true form.

However, Blood Shadow’s face had no features, looking extremely bizarre. Under the intense flames, even his body was contorting.

At this moment, Wind Blade distinctly felt as if the opponent was smiling. The featureless white face somehow formed a smile.

One could only imagine how eerie and sinister that smile was.

Even someone like Wind Blade, belonging to the Demon Race, felt a sudden jolt in his heart: Something’s not right!
