248 Merciless Saber, Loving Sword

Divine Flames Art!

It was the ultimate technique that West Region Demon, who resided in the desert, created on his own. It was said that there was a successor quest that all players could receive in a part of the city near West Region. It would allow them to become West Region Demon's successor, but they would need to go into the depths of the desert to finish it. Tens of thousands of players died either of the thirst or the venom of the insects, scorpions, and rattlesnakes during the course of the quest. The process was incredibly hard, and most players gave up halfway. They chose to treat the quest as a gargantuan monster they should not touch.

But Dream Clouds persevered and succeeded. Not only did she successfully find West Region Demon and learn Divine Flames Art, she had also trained up her heart, and because of it, her Affinity and Body Movement had increased by a large margin.

At the instant the heat wave gushed out at Wind Void, her expression changed. At the critical moment, she tensed her body and fell backwards to avoid the heat wave, and she swung her Mandarin Duck Saber in an arc that resembled a crescent moon.

Clang! Clang!

Two clear sounds of metal clashing against each other rose, and Wind Void nimbly blocked Dream Clouds' strike, who had been determined to kill her right then.

Wind Void moved like a Eurasian sparrowhawk and landed several feet away using the chance Dream Clouds was struck away. Her Mandarin Duck Saber spun on its own as if it was sentient and flew back into her hand. Wind Void's movements were clean and neat as well as pleasant to the eye.

On Chivalry Sect's side, Lin Xiao and Red Dust released sighs of relief!

"Sister Wind Void, you do have good skills. I can't believe you actually managed to dodge that."

Dream Clouds knew that the accidental damage effect of Divine Flames Act was not that useful against elites of great caliber once she missed. Wind Void's body synchronicity and her reflexes were incredibly great. It was probably impossible to kill Wind Void within a short time.

"Sister, you're not bad yourself, I was almost hit just now."

Wind Void had actually been keeping an eye out for something like that since the beginning, waiting for Dream Clouds' Divine Flames Art. As she expected, Swimming Dragon Dual Flying Swallow saved her life, and she had also noticed some of the effects of Divine Flames Art.

When the duo showed respect to each other, it eased up the tense atmosphere in the area. However, the two sides still had to settle the matter of who would have the rights to Dead She-wolf in the end, hence, everyone still paid a lot of attention to the fight.

At that moment, the crowd outside the chamber suddenly split in half, and a cold voice reached the two women' ears in a gentle manner.

"Hall Master Dream, Sect Master Void, I wonder if I, Musical Note, can speak on behalf of Towering Palace."

It was only at that moment that the two sides noticed Towering Palace's group having entered the chamber in an endless stream and mixing themselves in the crowd formed by Class One Hall and Chivalry Sect. Everyone's gazes then landed on the woman who had spoken. She was dressed in a plain white dress, and her skin was as white as snow. She had a purple sword tassel and a cold looking face. All these elements made her look like an immortal who dwelled in the clouds.

Quite a number of male players grumbled in their hearts. 'What's going on with the world? Why is it that the masters of the three great sects are all women? I heard that Musical Note's older sister is Towering Palace's Palace Master.

'This is a huge game, and the three most famous sects' masters are all women, and there are grown-up men all over this chamber. Isn't this too great of a blow to our ego?'

"I see, so it's Vice Palace Master Musical. I, Dream Clouds, have been negligent."

A hint of astonishment flashed in Dream Clouds' eyes. She redirected her gaze and asked, "Sister Wind Void is a straightforward person. Vice Palace Master Musical, if you have anything you want to say, you can go ahead and say it."

She sounded like a noble person when she said those words, and even her enemies, Chivalry Sect, felt good when they heard it.

Musical Note nodded and strode forward. Her clear and pleasant voice traveled clearly into everyone's ears.

"Both of you are heroines, and you have extraordinary skills! I can also tell that you have been holding back while fighting. If that's the case, you might not be able to tell who is stronger than the other within a short period of time. Even if you fight until Fox Cave closes, you might still not be finished.

"I'm not trying to slander you. I just think that a mere Dead She-wolf is not worth two masters fighting to the death. So, allow me to make a bold suggestion. Why don't you allow me to buy the loot from Dead She-wolf, and you can split the money between Chivalry Sect and Class One Hall equally. You can talk about everything else once we enter the third level of Fox Cave."

'Enter the third level first?'

Musical Note's suggestion might have seemed to have appeared out of the blue, but it made quite a number of people in the chamber nod silently.

It was a good suggestion!

They had not even entered the third level to meet Yao Hua and his wife, and they were already fighting to the death. If they spent all their time in the second level, they would not have enough time to wander around the third level!

In truth, there were many people who had that kind of worry. Besides, it was hard for the two great powers on the Phoenix Rank to tell who was stronger than the other within a short period of time!

Musical Note's plan quickly gained quite a number of people's acknowledgment.

Chivalry Sect's Lin Xiao and Red Dust, and Class One Hall's Barren Murderer and the man with the handsome face nodded slightly.

"Sister Musical Note, you're right! Class One Hall is not lacking in these items, and our main goal is still the divine vessels in Yao Hua and his wife's hands. Sister Wind Void, at that time, let's fight when we enter the third level, all right?"

Dream Clouds spoke clearly before looking at Wind Void.

"Alright!" Wind Void answered in a very forthright manner.

"Then, I, Musical Note, will represent Towering Palace in thanking the two of you for having a good opinion of my plan!"

Musical Note wrapped her fist in her palm and thanked them before two people swiftly shot out from behind her. Without any hesitation, they charged toward Dead She-wolf, who had a cunning and avoidant look sparkling in her eyes.

Shing! Shiiiinng!

The glare from one person's sword was like an ice mountain, and the glare from the other person's saber was like the freezing moon!

The saber and sword users worked together perfectly, and in the blink of an eye, they left Dead She-wolf covered in bloody wounds. She fell to the ground without any power to fight back. The two people's strength was evident at first glance.

"Merciless Saber… Is he Shangguan Lian?"

"Loving Sword… It's Haidong Qing!"

While they fought, quite a number of people from the two great sects recognized the duo's identities.

"Are they very famous?" someone from Chivalry Sect asked in puzzlement.

"Merciless Saber Shangguan Lian has been famous for a long time because of his Azure Wolf Howls from the Moon Saber Technique. Even though he isn't in the Dragon Rank, he killed many elites during the battle in Shaolin Temple and retreated with every part of his body intact. Also, not long ago, he fought against thirty or so bandit chiefs alone. All of them were Mystical Realm or Life and Death Realm Bosses. I heard that he has also fought against Happy before, but managed to retreat with his life."

The person who had asked the question was stunned silent.

"What about Loving Sword?"

When some of the people who were more well-informed heard someone ask about the other person, they showed mischievous looks on their faces at the same time.

"That guy's a womanizer. I heard that he is head over heels for many of the famous beauties on the Phoenix Rank. When he runs into any of them, he sticks to them like glue. Unless he's defeated by those people on the Phoenix Rank, he does not leave until he manages to score with them.

"But in his view, there are apparently three women he does not dare to provoke in World of Martial Arts. One is Dream Clouds of Class One Hall. He said that she's too ambitious and is difficult to control. The other is our sect master, Wind Void. He said that she-er, well, I'm not really in a place to say it. But the last is Palace Master Clear Music from Towering Palace, because she's the first person who managed to defeat him within three moves."

"Then why did he choose to stay in Towering Palace?"

"What other reason do you think there could be? Look over there!" The speaker rolled his eyes and gestured with his chin toward the white person standing in front of him. "Since he can't manage to get the older sister, he set his sights on the younger sister. But Musical Note has also made her way to the top of the Phoenix Rank. Once that guy saw her, he could no longer leave. He joined Towering Palace, and now, he's just the same as Shangguan Lian. They've become Towering Palace's Dharma protectors."

"Dharma protectors?"

While the group of people were busy discussing the two men, Dead She-wolf died, and the door to the third level opened with a bang.

The atmosphere between the three great sects became tense again. All the people's gazes were gathered on Lin Xiao, who held the key to the third level.
