Chapter 236

Translator: 549690339

Sky Hammer Mountain, the original dense forest almost completely disappeared, the large tree in front of the stone cave, though severed halfway, stood tall, like a great pillar.

The place where it was cut off had been leveled, and a man in

a black robe sat cross-legged on top of it.

On either side of the stone cave beneath the tree, six men

in black robes stood with a relaxed demeanor, showing no signs of

vigilance, as if they w’ere exchanging messages amongst themselves.

With a Great Grandmaster present, it wasn’t necessary for these grandmaster martial artists to stand guard.

The Great Grandmaster seated cross-legged on the tree was a mid-level Great Grandmaster, a strong existence among Great Grandmasters.

Even if he couldn’t defeat a fully accomplished Grandmaster, if he wanted to retreat, he could still manage it.

Without huge profits to tempt them, other Great Grandmasters wouldn’t rashly act, since making an enemy of a strong being of the same realm was ultimately unwise.

Of course, if there were massive profits tempting them, things would be different. Despite Sky Hammer Mountain being a treasure trove of spiritual medicines, outsiders were unaware of it.

Moreover, a general treasure trove of spiritual medicines wasn’t worth making an enemy of a Great Grandmaster.

The man in the black robe that sat cross-legged on the big tree, like the previous two Great Grandmasters, was dressed the same. The only difference was the white leaf embroidered on the chest of his robe.

The leaf was slender as a willow leaf.

Xu Yan and the others did not hide their traces and directly flew in openly, seemingly unafraid that there might be a powerful being guarding the treasure-loaded mountain.

The black-robed Great Grandmaster opened his eyes and announced solemnly, “Someone’s coming!”

The black-robed men on either side of the stone cave immediately became alert, gripping their curved swords.

If a Great Grandmaster attacked and they could not resist, their first course of action would be to break open the stone cave, forcefully enter the treasure-laden grounds and even if this resulted in the destruction of spiritual medicine, it was still better than letting others reap the benefits.

At a glance, Xu Yan noticed the black-robed man standing halfway up the tree.

A Great Grandmaster!

Moreover, a stronger Great Grandmaster!

“Senior Brother Xu, that Great Grandmaster seems stronger!”

Meng Shushu swallowed nervously.

Just as Grandmasters had varying strengths, so did Great Grandmasters. The strength of a Great Grandmaster who broke through all at once, relying solely on their own talent and accumulated base was ultimately much greater than those who lingered at half-step Great Grandmaster, and then slowly progressed by hoarding spiritual medicine.

The Great Grandmaster on the tree ahead was evidently one who relied solely on his own talent and base to breakthrough at once. His strength was incomparable to the two dead ones.

The black-robed man stood there, gathering momentum like a celestial force.

Not a novice Great Grandmaster, but a mid-tier Great Grandmaster!

Xu Yan was not afraid and instead revealed an excited expression, exclaiming, “The stronger the better! The stronger they are, the higher their status, and equally richer they are. This is another windfall!”

Meng Shushu’s mouth twitched. He was worried for nothing!

In Xu Yan’s eyes, the man was just a walking bag of money!

“Junior Brother, deal with those several people later to prevent them from destroying the spiritual medicine treasure trove.”

Xu Yan looked at the six black-robed men on either side of the tree behind the stone cave.

“No problem, one slash for each person, just six slashes in total.”

Meng Chong nodded enthusiastically.

Having been chased for such a long time, he could finally vent his rage.

Meng Shushu remained silent.

The two brothers were both ruthless and exceptionally strong.

To them, Great Grandmasters and Grandmasters were like cabbages that could be killed off easily.

“Who are you, and why do you want to interfere in this matter?”

The black-robed man’s momentum surged and the pow’er of a Great Grandmaster surged like a celestial force.

On Xu Yan’s body, the intent of a dragon’s palm burst forth, blocking the man’s force. He said calmly, “Sword God Xu Yan.”

“Sword Dao Cliff?”

The man in the black robe frowned.

Upon hearing about a powerful practitioner of the Sword Dao, he immediately thought of Sword Dao Cliff, but the name Sword God Xu Yan was very unfamiliar.

Moreover, the title ‘Sword God’ was rather presumptuous.

Even Xie Tianheng would not dare to proclaim himself so!

“No!”

Xu Yan shook his head. His gaze fell on the white leaf that looked like a willow leaf embroidered on the man’s chest. He could possibly trace the man’s affiliation from this symbol.

“Which organization are you from? Name it!”

Xu Yan asked in a deep voice.

“If you wish to interfere in this matter, you should consider whether you can afford to offend a peak Great Grandmaster!”

The black-robed man avoided the question and said coldly instead.

Peak Great Grandmaster?

Xu Yan was not panicking at all. Even if he couldn’t defeat a peak Great Grandmaster, the man couldn’t do anything to him either.

And when he reached the epitome of the Innate Realm, what peak Great Grandmaster? He could kill one with a single sword strike, and they posed no threat at all.

Since the man didn’t want to reveal his identity, there was no need for pointless conversation.

Xu Yan unsheathed his sword, saying, “You hide behind a cover and don’t even dare to let people know your name, yet you want to intimidate people with the status of a peak Great Grandmaster?

“Today, I’ll cut you down!”

The black-robed man was furious. Sword in hand, he lunged forward, “I’ll like to see how you plan to kill me!”

Boom!

The moment Xu Yan clashed with the black-robed man, Meng Chong and Meng Shushu had already rushed towards the stone cave.

The six Grandmaster martial artists didn’t entertain the idea of fleeing at all, naturally with only two of them and six of them, they had the advantage.

“Kill them!”

The six black-robed men wielding their curved swords met the charge.

Meng Shushu slowed down and immediately lagged behind Meng Chong.

He didn’t need to do anything himself.

Boom!

The light of the sword shone, an absolute sword intent, wreaking havoc everywhere.

One slash, and a splat sounded!
