Chapter 129 129: Cheating



Xu Shan watched everything with great interest, as if trying to show just where the limit of the young man was. 

In the end, the Ancestor of the Stein Clan personally acted, since he couldn't watch most of his clan members dying. However, he made sure to restrict his strength to the specified level. 

He tried to make sure that he didn't kill Duan Mu, but at the same time, he was sure that if there was a need for that, he would do that. He couldn't just sit back and die. He could only hope that Xu Shan was going to keep his promise. 

The Duan Clan Ancestor could fly, but because of the restriction, he could only run to Duan Mu. 

Because of the intensifying rain, the entire floor was covered in water that splashed as the Duan Clan Ancestor's figure moved like lightning. 

However, to his surprise, Duan Mu was able to see through his movements as well, which stunned him even more. At the last moment, he slowed down and dodged Duan Mu's Sword to the side. 

He appeared behind the young man who had stopped thinking and was working only on his instincts. 

The old man placed his hand over Duan Mu's head, and smashed his face on the ground. "That's enough! Calm down now!"

The impact of his hit was enough to break an ordinary man's skull, or at least harm them seriously. However, even in such pain, Duan Mu didn't show any reaction. 

He turned his wrist in such a motion that his sword was facing his back. Without even looking back, he thrust the sword behind, even at the cost of breaking his arm. 

Duan Clan Ancestor was stunned by the ruthless nature of the young man. He jumped back at the last moment, avoiding the sword. 

At the other end, Duan Mu stood up. His right arm was broken and his face was bleeding, yet his face was emotionless, as if he couldn't think of anything other than the thought that he had to kill these people!

The bracelet worked in a similar manner, but more importantly, it was his Bloodline which was starting to awaken. 

"Not bad. I can see why those people Ruled over the universe once upon a time. They were quite ruthless to themselves..." Xu Shan rubbed his chin, not missing even the slightest of the young man's movements. 

"He doesn't even know that his mother is still alive. What a pitiful child." Xinren shook her head lightly. 

In response, Xu Shan smiled. "How would he go crazy if he knew that she was alive? Won't that be a waste?"

As he spoke, he looked at the small sphere in his hand, with which he was playing. For others, it was just a gem that was akin to a toy. However, only Xu Shan knew that it was another Treasure on the same level as Duan Mu's pendant. 

It was a treasure that was the most important treasure of the Sky Dynasty. It had a spirit of its own. No one could control the Treasure Spirit as long as the master of the treasure was alive. 

Fortunately, unlike Duan Mu's pendant, the treasure spirit of this sphere wasn't one to destroy itself after the death of its former master. 

The small sphere had many uses, but the most important use for Duan Mu was that it could be used as a prison in certain circumstances. 

And currently, this prison had only one person inside... It was Duan Mu's mother, who Xu Shan left alive, to get some answers from her. 

When he heard her talking about telling the past to Duan Mu, he understood that he had to take her out of the picture, but she was also important for him to keep alive. 

This was also the reason that the lifeless woman's face and half her body was burned. It was so no one could recognise her. Moreover, it wasn't hard for him to find someone with a similar physique to take her place. 

While a son fought for revenge for her mother, Xu Shan kept playing with the small spherical crystal, while spectating the battle before him. 

Duan Mu was strong now, but the Duan Clan Ancestor was more experienced. Even after having his strength be restricted, he still wasn't falling behind. He was able to hold Duan Mu back, giving a proper fight. 

Moreover, at the speed Duan Mu was taking damage, Xu Shan realized that he was still too inexperienced and it was only a matter of time before he lost. 

The Duan Clan Ancestor finally brought out a sword of his own. He could see that Duan Mu was about to lose soon. He just had to hold him back a little longer, and avoid getting hurt. 

He planted his feet firmly to the ground, ready to hurt Duan Mu a little more. He decided to take off Duan Mu's hand that was holding onto the sword, with his sharp Sword. 

He watched Duan Mu coming close to him. He raised his sword, pushing some of his Celestial Aura inside the sword. 

The old man swung his Sword. 

Slash ~

Strangely enough, everyone saw the old man suddenly stop his attack, which stunned almost all guests. At the same time, Duan Mu's Sword didn't hold back, stabbing through the chest of the old man. 

Blood trickled down the old man's lips as he looked down at his chest, before glancing at Xu Shan in disbelief. 

Most people were focused on the battle and didn't see anything. However, there was one person who saw what happened. He also looked at Xu Shan in surprise. 

It was the Master of the Alchemy Pavillion. He clearly saw that just as the Duan Clan Ancestor was about to attack Duan Mu to cut his arms, a Sword made purely of Celestial Energy appeared above the Duan Clan Patriarch. 

Seeing a Sword over the head of his son, the Duan Clan Ancestor was momentarily frozen, which allowed Duan Mu to kill him...

He was clear who made that Sword to interfere…
