Chapter 201: Chapter 45 Five-Second Resistance_2
When the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang first appeared, he was facing away from Xuan Ye. Now, he slowly turned around, his eyes sparking cold flashes as he blinked. Xuan Ye was taken aback to see the white-haired Sword Saint of the Tian Gang having a face that looked around his age. As the saying goes, extraordinary features correlate with extraordinary abilities. Moreover, the brilliance in the eyes of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang revealed his immeasurable skills.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang snorted coldly and said, "Who would have thought that in thirty years, you, this little brat, would become the Red Bishop of the church. You even have the audacity to act imperious here. Even your father used to call me a senior when he saw me. Don’t think your church is anything special, it’s not worth my attention."
Xuan Ye was shocked. Very few people in the church knew the secret that he was the son of the Pope. It was surprising that the neither young nor old Sword Saint of the Tian Gang managed to reveal it in one sentence. "Are you the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang? I stand corrected," he said. He well knew that he was no match for the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, and his arrogance involuntarily subdued.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang closed his eyes and calmly said, "Did you come here just to teach my disciple a lesson?"
Wherever Xuan Ye went on the continent, everyone treated him with utmost respect. But this old man in front of him, like he said himself, did not regard the church at all. Xuan Ye swallowed his anger and said, "The Sword of Hades is the most evil thing in the world, I just want to test whether Ah Dai has the ability to guard it."
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang snorted coldly and said, "Do you really need my disciple to test your strength? You underestimate my Tian Gang Sword Sect. Since you’ve tested my disciple’s strength, shouldn’t I also test how profound your magic is!"
Xuan Ye got a shock. He didn’t expect the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang to ignore his status and actively challenge him. He replied humbly, "Sword Saint, I admit that I am not your match."
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang snorted and said, "That’s right, in the future I don’t want to see any people from your church appear around the Tian Gang Mountains. If you want to fight me, I think it would be more appropriate for your father to come here instead. Watch this." Suddenly, he reached out his left hand and grasped at the empty air.
Xuan Ye was stunned. There was no formidable aura radiating from the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang. Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly observed that the clouds among the mountains were starting to move, floating towards the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang like a whale sucking in water. Subsequently, the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang flicked his right wrist. The fog dispersed instantly, leaving behind a longsword made of condensed fog. He casually waved it and launched the fog sword. It shot towards a towering peak in the distance. Everyone’s eyes were focused on the fog sword. There was no explosion as expected, the fog sword disappeared. Nevertheless, that mountain peak was pierced by the unforced fog sword, making a big hole, and there was no sign of the mountain collapsing. The huge hole seemed as if it naturally existed. Everyone was so amazed, they couldn’t make a sound. If Xuan Ye’s magic power surprised people earlier, the spectacle of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang piercing a peak with a fog sword could only be described as a miracle.
Xuan Ye took a cold breath. He knew that even if he launched his most potent magic at full power, it was impossible to pierce so far away. Besides, the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang had done all these things unperturbed, it was hard to see how much effort he had put into it. He was right, only if his father personally came here, could he possibly counter it.
Reverting to his initial stature with his hands behind him, the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang faintly said, "Did you see clearly now? The calamity of a millennium will soon arrive, use your power in places where it is needed."
Xuan Ye’s eyes flickered with complex emotions, and after a while, he said, "You’re my elder, I obviously can’t refute your words."
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang barely smiled, his voice echoing in Xuan Ye’s ear, "What? You’re still not convinced? To Ah Dai, you’re also an elder. My words just now apply to you equally. If I use my full power, I fear you might not last five seconds. Indeed, Dao of Hades is the most evil thing in the world, and with Ah Dai’s current power, there is going to be some difficulty safeguarding it. However, I will prove to you that my disciple’s accomplishment shall be no less than yours. Five years later, if you are still here, you can have a fair competition with Ah Dai. If you win, you may take back the Sword of Hades for the church. And if you lose, I hope you’ll let Ah Dai marry your daughter. Can you agree to this?" He had heard from Xi Wen about the relationship between Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, so he made such a request.
Xuan Ye was startled. He hadn’t expected the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang to play matchmaker for Ah Dai. Five years? It seemed he didn’t have high opinions of him. Never mind five years, even if in thirty years, it was uncertain if Ah Dai could reach the skill level of Sect Leader Xi Wen of the Tian Gang Sword Sect. Meanwhile, his magical powers would also keep improving. It seemed like this wager was to his advantage. He resolutely said, "Alright, since you’ve put it that way, let’s go by your plan. Five years later, Xuan Ye will certainly pay another visit." After saying this, he grabbed Xuan Yue and started powering up his magical powers, preparing to leave in the enveloping white holy light.
"Wait, dad," Xuan Yue choked, stopping her father.
Xuan Ye frowned. The invisible pressure caused by the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang put him at a disadvantage, which made him feel humiliated in front of others. All of this was caused by his daughter. If the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang asked his daughter to stay, he had no power to stop it. He couldn’t help but bark at her angrily, "What on earth are you trying to do?"
