Chapter 1889: The Unrivaled Realm

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

On many occasions, intelligence was even more important than the battle force for fearless bandits to survive in Brokenstars Sea.

All the fearless bandits’ intelligence of survival combined ferocity and craftiness.

Of course, immortal generals of Blackblood Immortal Palace were fearless bandits. They didn’t lack such ferocity and craftiness. With two supreme-level immortal generals on their back in their own territory, these bandits didn’t fear of launching a strike at the risk of their lives at all.

Although the water immortal general who exclaimed and stood up looked like testing Zhang Tie’s real battle force while being drunk, he was actually sober-minded. In fact, it was not just a test, but a fatal strike.

If he failed it, it was just a test. As he had warned Zhang Tie in advance, he had followed the rules in this line. Additionally, through Zhang Tie’s response, Two Blackblood Sages could better figure out Zhang Tie’s background and real battle force. They could even seize an opportunity to kill Zhang Tie in the process.

If he made it and killed Zhang Tie, it was just Zhang Tie’s fault. Even though he could severely injured Zhang Tie, it was also a great triumph.

However, the real fatal strike was not from the water immortal general who urged aloud, but that earth immortal general who rushed towards Zhang Tie close to the ground silently like a viper. The blade of the earth immortal general’s dagger was giving out a faint baby blue light, which indicated that it had been quenched in the high toxin. Additionally, snake-shaped dagger could break protective battle qi much easier than ordinary weapons. Once being hurt by such high toxin, ordinary immortal generals might lose their lives in a short period of time. Even though supreme-level immortal generals wouldn’t die for the time being, their battle force would be sharply reduced.

They found that Zhang Tie had not released his protective battle qi. Therefore, they thought it was a good opportunity.

The fat guy was called “venom fang”; the short one was called “Shadowless Snake”.

Venom Fang and Shadowless Snake didn’t even know that Zhang Tie was a supreme-level immortal general. They only felt that Zhang Tie was profound and unpredictable. They had got the acquiescence of Sword Sage through eye contact. As they had been subordinate to Two Blackblood Sages for many years, Venom Fang and Shadowless Snake immediately got the point of Sword Sage. As a result, they became much more dauntless at a stroke.

With the acquiescence of Sword Sage, they knew that Sword Sage would interfere in the battle and save them once they were in the lower hand. Even if they were unsuccessful, they didn’t have to risk their lives.

To be honest, Zhang Tie was not the first powerhouse who dared have a windfall in Blackblood Alliance. When they were in Brokenstars Sea, they had met more than one person like Zhang Tie. Not every one of them could leave the territory of Blackblood Alliance. They had been used to this trick; therefore, they could deal with this situation with ease. Although they were righteous and forthright verbally, they were actually brewing a grim, vicious and fatal strike…

Blackblood Alliance was a ruthless and greedy organization; instead of a charitable organization which supported those in distress and aided those in misery.

This trick was always useful in previous experiences. However, they hit the iron plate today… No, actually, they had jumped into the crater themselves…

When Venom Fang and Shadowless Snake launched a sudden strike towards Zhang Tie, Saber Sage and Sword Sage had already been ready for giving them a favor. If they found that the test had failed, they would immediately save Venom Fang and Shadowless Snake. If they found the test had succeeded, they would seize the opportunity to attack Zhang Tie together.

Not only Two Blackblood Sages had made preparations, but also all the other fearless immortal generals in Blackblood Immortal Palace had been ready.

However, everything happened so fast that they had come to an end before Saber Sage and Sword Sage found an opportunity to launch a strike.

During the whole process, Zhang Tie didn’t release his protective battle qi; nor did he move even a bit. He didn’t even raise his hand.

He just turned around and watched the two attackers…

Venom Fang jumped high and slashed his huge ax towards Zhang Tie from dozens of meters away in an overwhelming manner. The huge axe was shiny and contained strong battle qi. Only when it touched Zhang Tie’s protective battle qi or his body could it release the battle qi ferociously. Combining with the blade of the huge axe, this fatal strike could be two times more destructive…

When he found that Zhang Tie didn’t move or even released his protective battle qi, Venom Fang became thrilled.

Right then, he found Zhang Tie turning around and looking at him…

What a pair of distant, calm, cold and lofty eyes! It was like a huge dragon in the sky overlooking ants on the ground… When Zhang Tie turned around, Venom Fang’s eyes were full of Zhang Tie’s eyes and the cold lights and sword shadows that abruptly shot out of the depth of the profound eyes…

‘What happened? He doesn’t hold a sword. Why are there cold lights and sword shadows in his eyes?’

A whim occurred to Venom Fang.

Closely after that, Venom Fang’s entire body was pierced through by a wisp of powerful sword qi out of nowhere…

Then, the 2nd wisp of sword qi, the 3rd, the 10th… the 100th… the 1000th… the 10,000th… the 100,000th…

Each wisp of sword qi was aboveboard, extremely sharp, powerful and surging; each wisp of sword qi could easily pierce through Venom Fang’s protective battle qi and his body.

Facing numerous wisps of sword qi out of nowhere, Venom Fang’s body as a whole was instantly shattered into pieces and became a bloody mist like being sliced up by swords. Even his huge ax, which was a silver secret item, couldn’t withstand the terrifying power of those wisps of sword qi. After the material form of the huge axe was shattered by those wisps of sword qi, the original body of the secret item showed up while wailing like a huge bird being hit by a spectacular crossbow——a burning huge black hawk…

At the same time, the phantom had already been 5 m away from Zhang Tie as the cold light over the surface of the snake-shaped dagger was 10 cm higher. He would almost touch Zhang Tie at his fingertips.

Zhang Tie then fixated onto the earth immortal general called Shadowless Snake.

All of a sudden, numerous wisps of sword qi spewed out of the earth in the hall.

“Ah…” Shadowless Snake screamed. Closely after that, he was shattered into a bloody mist by those wisps of sword qi like a poor little snake reaching a cutting machine which was running at a high speed…

“Puff…” Shadowless Snake disappeared too, leaving a bloody dark 10-cm wide shadow on the ground, which passed Zhang Tie right beside him.

The snake-shaped dagger’s material form had been shattered and recovered its original look——a small, cyan snake.

Not until then did Zhang Tie raise his hand. Then, the small, cyan snake swam towards him obediently and twined about Zhang Tie’s fingers. At the same time, the burning black hawk which was hovering in the air also fell onto Zhang Tie’s hand.

All of these took place too fast and came to an end in less than one second.

‘What has happened…’

‘Where are Venom Fang and Shadowless Snake?’

‘Was that a hallucination?’

Those immortal generals of Blackblood Immortal Palace in the hall were all in a daze as they didn’t know what had happened.

Of course, what had happened was not a hallucination. Even now, a terrifying, domineering sword qi was still lingering in the hall like the halos and qi left by brilliant fireworks in the night sky. It was like an immortal dragon reaching out its claws which appeared out of nowhere and disappeared immediately, leaving no clues at all. Only the frightening, wet, dark red stroke on the ground made people feel falling into an ice house…

The two people who had launched a strike were not two flies or mosquitoes, but two powerful immortal generals; one water immortal general and one earth immortal general. How could they be killed so easily?

Sword Sage and Saber Sage had already stood up. Sword Sage who remained calm just now was watching Zhang Tie with wide eyes as if the latter was a ghost. At the same time, Sword Sage had been flurried as he muttered, “Pupil Swordsmanship… Pupil Swordsmanship… it’s unrivaled swordsmanship driven by pupils… people would be killed once being seen by him. It’s the legendary supreme realm in swordsmanship… Impossible… Impossible… This swordsmanship has already been extinct for tens of thousands of years in Motian Realm. Only the legendary Sword Emperor who once shocked both humans and demons in Motian Realm could use such terrifying swordsmanship…”

Pupil Swordsmanship was the legendary supreme realm of swordsmanship in Motian Realm. In this realm, the master didn’t need to hold material sword anymore, nor any movements. People would die once being seen by him. He could absolutely kill people with his eyes. In front of Pupil Swordsmanship, the legendary skill of killing people with pupils was never a joke…

When one reached this realm in swordsmanship, he could overlook everything just like standing on the top of the highest mountain.

After muttering for a few seconds, Sword Sage suddenly became sober-minded as he gazed at Zhang Tie and roared, “Who are you… Who are you… How can you use Pupil Swordsmanship?”

Sword Sage was looking straight into Zhang Tie’s eyes with fear and greed. The fear came from Pupil Swordsmanship; the greed also came from Pupil Swordsmanship. As a person who cultivated swordsmanship, he was aware of the meaning of Pupil Swordsmanship better than anyone else.

It was not Zhang Tie who answered Sword Sage, but another person in the hall that nobody could expect…

A woman suddenly wailed as she ran out of those musicians. After coming to Zhang Tie’s front, she suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed towards Zhang Tie; then, she looked up at him who was standing in the hall solemnly with excitement while uttering in sobs, “My respects to you… Your Majesty Dragon Emperor… I’m Ying Yuhong… a maid in the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragonsea City…”
