Chapter 1329: Chapter 576: War and Truth!_2

He transmitted his voice.

“It’s a long story, but in short, it’s ours now, teacher,” said Shen Ye.

Xu Xingke looked somewhat wistful.

The fifteen professionals on the opposite side charged toward him.

Yet he still stood motionless as if reminiscing about something.

“Be careful, teacher!”

Shen Ye reminded him.

Xu Xingke merely raised his hand, pressing into the void.

—Divine Shield·Ten Thousand Miles Barrier!

An invisible power manifested as a city wall, towering and immense, appearing before Xu Xingke.

“Back then—”

Xu Xingke began, “We created this technique, which could have been used to fend off the Destruction Tribulation, but the betrayal caused a disruption in the Eternal Brain at the last moment.”

“Without eternal strength, this technique cannot be used.”

“And now—”

He did not continue.

The attacks from the professionals arrived.

A frost technique struck the city wall.

The brick that was hit flipped, carrying the technique for a rotation and then returned.

Compared to its original state, the technique seemed enhanced by the wall!

The professional was caught off guard and was struck by his own technique.

The bricks on the wall kept flipping.

One after another, techniques were amplified several times, flipping back to attack the original casters.

“Quite a marvelous and grand technique!”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but praise.

—This technique required an enormous amount of strength, probably only the Eternal Brain could provide sufficient Origin Force to make the technique work.

Seeing all the professionals being blown away—

In an instant.

Little flickering characters reappeared before Shen Ye:

“Your comrade has been in battle too long and must be replaced immediately!”

Xu Xingke was directly teleported away.

Rumble—

The shield of the wall emitted a resounding clatter, shaking the heavens and earth.

Shen Ye chuckled with vexation.

“Can’t beat me, so you resort to cheating, right…”

He muttered softly.

On the opposite side.

The void flashed.

Another group of professionals appeared.

“Summon your new comrade now, or you’ll be considered defeated if no one comes,”

said the leading professional.

Before Shen Ye could speak, a summoning array appeared in front of him.

A young girl appeared discreetly.

—Xiao Mengyu!

“I’ll fight for him,”

Xiao Mengyu said steadily.

“Looking for death!” The professionals on the other side charged again.

Xiao Mengyu was about to take action when she felt something unusual and turned her head in surprise towards Shen Ye.

“Use this to fight them,”

Shen Ye said, clearly annoyed.

“I have my own swordsmanship,” Xiao Mengyu declined bluntly.

“This is for me to vent my frustration, I need to vent!” Shen Ye explained.

Xiao Mengyu glanced at him, reluctantly softening her stance.

—If Shen Ye forced her, she wouldn’t do it at all.

But just as Xu Xingke returned—

She and Nangong Sirui knew what was going on.

Being obstructed by unfair battle rules, Shen Ye must have felt a frustration building up.

If she didn’t help him, it wouldn’t seem right.

After all, it’s not a big deal.

“Really, you’re impossible. I’m a swordsman, and you want me to use your blade technique, knowing that it’s forcing people.”

Xiao Mengyu sighed, aligning the sword horizontally, using it like a knife.

As a sword cultivator—

Probably only Shen Ye could make her act so recklessly even for a moment.

In a flash.

Lines of flickering little characters appeared before Shen Ye:

“You activated ‘Blood Brother’, exchanging your blade technique ‘Flower Scattering’ with Xiao Mengyu, in exchange for her culinary skill ‘sweet and sour fish’.”

The small characters instantly disappeared.

Xiao Mengyu made her move—

“Good blade technique,”

She said with amazement as she attacked.

In close-combat skills, because of inheritance, she had a keen eye.

Although she used a sword for this slash, and she had no solid foundation in blade techniques which diminished its prowess, still—

This move itself was very strong.

After over a thousand years of honing, Shen Ye had pushed this slash to its current level.

In order to ensure the battle went smoothly, Xiao Mengyu also used her Dharma Aspect.

Endless stars appeared behind her.

—Mutated Dharma Aspect·Starry Rain Seeds!

“Within a fifty-meter radius of the Dharma Aspect, all beings are at the same level as me!”

Clang!

But a sliver of sword aura flew into the air, rapidly sketching a long, undulating line in the void.

The line appeared first.

Then the countless lines of fate spun throughout the world, with over a dozen severed by the long line.

The wind blew.

Those lines of fate scattered and disappeared in the wind, like withering flowers.

The cold light flew back.

Xiao Mengyu caught the long sword and gently sheathed it.

The manifestation of fate in the illusion vanished completely.

In reality.

All the professionals on the opposite side were cut in half, falling to the ground without a sound.

“How was it?”

Xiao Mengyu asked, her eyes smiling, and in a tone like “I’ve spoiled you,” she continued:

“I never use blade techniques, so this time you owe me a—”

Before she finished speaking.

With a “whoosh,” she was teleported away.

In the void, small characters reappeared:

“To ensure fairness, replace your comrade immediately.”

“If no one arrives within one minute, you will be forcibly taken as a slave.”

“Start!”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but sneer.

—Would this work?

No matter how unfair you are, you must first overcome this slash of mine!

The spatial transmission wave surged again.

Nangong Sirui appeared quietly.

“Let me—I’m completely different now, Shen Ye,”

he said proudly, raising his hands, drawing out a pair of fist blades, and casually tracing shadows in the air.

“Use blade techniques,” Shen Ye said.

“I don’t know blade techniques,” Nangong Sirui remarked, surprised.
