Chapter 2046 The Center Grave

Chapter 2046 The Center Grave

Alex looked at the two sect leader's graves, wondering if their gravestones could hold some sort of secret that would reveal more than what they let on at first sight. But considering how these gravestones had to have been made only after the Reverend Sixghost was dead, there was a chance this was all a fool's errand.

What he truly needed to look at was Sixghost's grave. So, he walked past the bit of open space around the only grave at the center and walked toward it. But before he even went to the grave, Alex could already see a man sitting on top of it.

He was a man with the appearance of someone in their early 30s, with long hair and a thick beard that hid his face for the most part. He wore a green robe, similar to the young man he met outside, which meant that this person was from the Spring Grass sect as well.

"Brother, could you—"

"Go away, I'm not going to fight you," the man said, lazing around on top of the grave, his feet dangling before the texts that were written. Alex could see part of the name of Sixghost, so he knew he was at the right grave, but beyond that, he couldn't see much.

"I'm not here to fight you," Alex said. "I'm only—"

"Then leave. You have nothing to do here," the man said. Alex felt frustrated. "I'm only here to look through the gravestone. I want nothing to do with you," he said.

"Then come back when I'm not here," the man said, ignoring Alex beyond that.

Alex took a deep breath, calming himself. "I wish only—"

The man suddenly attacked, something bright striking Alex. Alex immediately filled his body with Qi, taking the full brunt of the attack as he was pushed back.

"Brother!" Pearl shouted from behind him.

Alex skidded along the ground, stopping only when he struck another gravestone. He looked up at the man, angry.

The man looked at him too, but the only emotion on his face was curiosity. He wanted to know how Alex had survived that attack just now.

"You used no treasures," the man said.

"If you want to fight, just ask for a damn fight, you bastard!"

Several heads were turning around at this point, even the ones that were in the middle of their fights were turning around to look at the two of them now.

The man grinned as he got down from the gravestone, running his fingers through his long hair as he slanted it backward. "I have been bored out of my life for a while with no one to fight. Can you quench my thirst?"

"What's your name?" the man asked.

"I have no intention of telling you anything," Alex said.

"Are you hiding your strength? What's going on with your strength?" the man asked.

Alex gave a sword slash as an answer. The sword attack exploded when it clashed with the man's return attack, and the two destroyed each other.

"I am Miao Wupeng, a disciple of the Spring Grass sect," the man said. "Won't be at least honor my sect by telling your own origins?" Alex paused. "Dawnblade. I won't name my sect"

"Is there a reason why you're hiding your sect name?" the man asked.

"Is there a reason why you're asking so many questions instead of just fighting?" Alex asked back.

The man chuckled a little. "Very well, let's continue." He swung his Saber, releasing an explosive attack.

Alex created a swirl of Qi in front of him, stopping the attack. Then he swung back, releasing another attack.

The two fell into a rhythm as neither of them could get over the other's attacks. They were both exactly as strong as each other, and there was no way to beat one another, so the battle was going to end up being a battle of endurance.

At least, that was what Alex wanted the man to think. He could not win with just the strength of his attacks as it was, but he had some tricks up his sleeve that he was waiting to use.

And he found the moment when the man named Miao tried to use a different technique.

Immortal Qi filled Midnight at once, along with all of his Spiritual energy and blood aura. At the same time, he added True Metal Dao into the technique as well as Sword Aura.

The only thing he kept out was Sword Domain. But that should be enough.

He watched the man swing his sword for an attack and using that opportunity, Alex teleported right next to him and used one of his strongest attacks.

Endless Severing Sword.

The world seemed to lose color and space itself was cut briefly as Alex released this attack right next to the man.

The man had no opportunity to stop it at all.
