Chapter 414: Accident (I)
A keen light flashed through Li Hao’s eyes. He stabbed the shield with the little sword!
A weapon soul shaped in a tiny turtle manifested over the origin weapon. It revitalized somewhat when the little sword descended upon it. Some struggle ensued as it sought to run away; an innate fear was imprinted on its heart. Even though it’d long lost its memory, the fear that surfaced in this moment was impossible to suppress.
The shield wanted to break free!
A distinct crack sounded when the sword landed; the origin weapon was run straight through! None of its powerful defensive force could be brought to bear. A small hole had formed—that was all that was needed for the little sword to break through the defensive barrier. Powerful suction erupted, pulling the flailing weapon soul into the little sword.
Domineering sword energy surged back out a moment later. The little sword seemed very interested in origin weapons—far more than in mysterious power stones, in any case. Not only did it brim with a vast amount of sword energy in its refreshed state, but it was even a bit longer than before, as if it was gradually unsealing.
Previously as long as the young man’s forearm, it was a bit longer than that now. The little shield was possibly stronger than anything the little sword had ever come across before. Li Hao could clearly sense incredibly dense energy within it. This might be the first time he’d felt such concentrated sword energy since he obtained the weapon.
Joy dawned in the young man’s eyes! The shield was a high level origin weapon indeed!
......
The three powerhouses were furiously making their getaway when Li Hao cut into the shield. The golden eagle and giant snake pursued them relentlessly. The eagle closed its claws around the wind chime a few times, but never found success. Continued failure drove it into towering rage.
Terror abruptly flashed out of Half Mountain’s eyes before he spat out a mouthful of blood! His mental strength immediately wilted, impacting his flow of mysterious power. Energy blasted through his body, raging out of control. To lose control at this stage was an unmitigated disaster!
Being a premier powerhouse, the eagle instantly seized the opening and struck! Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com!
It clawed through the wind chime’s outer defenses and slashed through to the injured Half Mountain. Half of his body was mutilated to a bloody mess; fury and refusal flooded the man’s eyes!
Why??
The three of them stood a good chance of escape! They could live if the wind chime maintained its function until they fled the mountain. Why had his origin weapon suddenly severed its connection to him?!
As the master of the origin weapon, he infused it with some of his mental strength when he refined it. That was how he could control and use it effectively. It was almost never the case that an origin weapon would recoil on its master, not unless it broke.
But in this day and age, how many people could break an origin weapon? Even that golden eagle couldn’t manage it! And yet, that was what’d happened to his shield!
Horror-stricken, furious, and despairing, Half Mountain was also confused. Who’d done it?? Was there an even stronger monster spirit inside the mountain that’d discovered the little shield and broke it?
That war was violent and intense, yet it hadn’t even taken Hou Xiaochen to act against them in Silver Moon for them to be the end of themselves. How ironic.
A jeering look appeared in Half Mountain’s eyes—aimed at possibly himself, the Revolution King, or everyone. There was nothing he feared in his final moments. A massive claw ran him through in the next second! As light faded from his eyes, his only thought was wondering what Hong Yitang and the others sought to accomplish in hiding themselves so thoroughly.
Celestial’s leader also seemed to be the same. None of the leaders of the three great organizations made moves in public, all of them concealed themselves deeply. Why was that? Since they wished to vie over the world and seize the dynasty, what was their plan in proceeding like this?
Boom!
The corpse landed heavily on the ground! The eagle retracted its claws and flew off without a glance down, soaring to Hong Yitang and He Yong. Once the snake finished with Tidal Wave, it also quickly slithered over.
......
At this time.
Hong Yitang panted heavily; multiple bloody marks scored the tiger in front of him. The giant ape warily looked at the humans while Southern Fist had his back to Hong Yitang. Bathed in blood, the latter held on with sheer force of will. He’d simply followed these people on a lark, who knew that it’d be such an unlucky decision?
Hong Yitang was quite resigned to see Half Mountain and Tidal Wave summarily disposed of. What the heck? Why were these guys so damned weak and died so quickly?
Hong Yitang breathed out with effort and looked at the tiger with resignation. “Is there a need for us to go to this step? The two of you must be familiar with Yuan Shuo...”
“Roar!!” snarled the tiger.
“Then you know that Silver Moon martial masters were the strongest entities in the land back in the day,” Hong Yitang chuckled. “The four of you are indeed domineering when you work together, but there’s nothing good in it for you guys if you force our hand.”
The Revolution King barreled over, ignoring the monster spirits. The wind chime swayed in the wind as the man roared, “Earthturner Sword, my wind chime’s defenses are unparalleled and its offense it also first class. Martial masters can control origin weapons too. With your strength, we can raise a defense that they can’t break!”
Origin weapons were not exclusive to supernaturals. During the ancient civilization, martial masters were possibly the rightful way. Thus, they were naturally able to utilize origin weapons.
Revolution had thrown himself here in the face of blatant danger and was deathly afraid that Hong Yitang wouldn’t agree. “If I survive, I’ll tell you guys all the secrets of the three great organizations that I know,” he gabbled. “There are some secrets that only we know. I am one of the ten court masters and know a lot of secrets...”
Hong Yitang guffawed, this fellow had quite some nerve!
The golden eagle and big snake gathered as well. Sweat dripped down Southern Fist’s face and he snuck a glance at Revolution. Trash! We’re in for it now! Granted, he’d run over to Hong Yitang because he wasn’t able to handle the ape either. Hong Yitang had also cursed at him for being trash.
The four monster spirits were gathered in one spot, surrounding the Revolution King and others. The tiger glared coldly at Hong Yitang instead of attacking. It hadn’t even prevented Revolution from forcing his way in. The human had locked onto it. If it tried to stop the newcomer, a dominating sword slash to the face might answer for its efforts.
