Chapter 687: Chapter 189: Going to the Church Together_2
Ah Dai was startled and nodded, saying, "It seems so. That’s the basic form of the Sumeru Sword."
Xi Wen asked somewhat doubtfully, "The Sumeru Sword? What’s that?" Even as the sect leader, he didn’t know there was such a martial arts technique in his sect.
Ah Dai said, "The Sumeru Sword is one of the three ultimate techniques passed down to me by my grandmaster. It’s the last one, and it can be considered as the strongest martial technique from my grandmaster. Grandmaster once said that only after reaching the sixth transformation of life can one practice it. Today is my first time using it, and I have successfully condensed the Sumeru Sword into form."
Yun Ying smiled and said, "Your grandmaster didn’t even succeed in the past, yet you managed to achieve it. If I’m not mistaken, you didn’t unleash the true power of the Sumeru Sword today, did you?"
Ah Dai glanced at Goshawk, scratched his head, and said, "I’m not sure about the power of the Sumeru Sword either."
With a drunken look in his eyes, Goshawk said, "Kid, you don’t need to look at me. Do you think I can’t handle losing? Despite such a massive energy sword, I reckon it would be enough to slash a mountain."
Yun Ying said, "You old fool, you could say you were very lucky today. Didn’t you notice that the energy sword used by Ah Dai was solid? That is the Solid Battle Aura that Brother Di Si has been researching over the past ten years or so. With Ah Dai’s current realm of the supreme Solid Battle Aura, nothing can resist it. The Sumeru Sword is truly the number one sword in the world."
Xuan Yue smiled and said, "Senior, don’t flatter him too much. He might get a swollen head."
Harry said, "Brother Yun is not flattering him. These are all facts! With Ah Dai’s current cultivation, I’m afraid even the Pope of your church can’t fight against him. Under the Sumeru Sword, no magic, let alone any battle aura, can resist it. Perhaps, only if the three of us old guys combined our full strength could we possibly withstand his might."
Yun Ying said, "Xi Wen, now the four of us plus you can be said to be the five great Sword Saints of this era. I was thinking earlier, Ah Dai even felt a sense of terror from Death Mountain Range, so it must contain unimaginable powers surmised only by us. I suggest that after we enter the Death Mountain Range, the five of us should always stay together. If we encounter a powerful undead creature, we will jointly obliterate it."
Xi Wen smiled and said, "That’s a good idea, but how can my cultivation compare to you seniors?"
Harry said, "Don’t be too modest. You’re not much younger than me, and your current cultivation has already entered the same realm as mine. Even if we were to fight, I’m not sure I could beat you. Let’s just do as Brother Yun Ying says. Well, I’m going to bed now." As Yun Ying pulled Goshawk up, Xi Wen and the second generation disciples hurriedly led the VIPs to their arranged accommodation.
Only the younger generation was left in the conference hall. Seeing his master leave, Blood Skull suddenly felt relaxed. He picked up his wine glass, went over to Ah Dai, and said, "Brother, we haven’t even had time to catch up yet. Come, let me toast you." Ah Dai grimaced and said, "Big Brother Blood Skull, you know that I can’t take much alcohol, I’ll only drink a little." After taking a sip of the fine wine, he smiled and asked, "How have you all been lately? How have you arranged the Skeleton Mercenary Group?"
Blood Skull laughed, "What else? I made those lads find a quiet place and train hard. To be top-notch mercenaries, they need solid skills. After seeing Lian Dan and Zhu Yuan today, my heart chilled. Not only does our Mercenary Corps pale in comparison to the strength of the Red Charming Mercenary Group, even the four of us are no match for Lian Dan. It looks like he has received the true teachings of the Eastern Sword Saint. I believe that within ten years, he will also enter the realm of the Sword Saint. From what I see, there is now only one mercenary group that can match them."
Ah Dai was taken aback, "Big Brother, you’re referring to the Moon Scar Mercenary Group, aren’t you? With the Overlord Mercenary Group joining them, they are indeed very strong now."
Blood Skull shook his head, "I’m not talking about the Moon Scar Mercenary Group. Although they have some strength, they definitely don’t pose a threat to the Red Charming Mercenary Group yet. I’m talking about the Evil Sky Mercenary Group which you and this ’Xuan Re’ formed! With your Sumeru Sword and ’Xuan Re’s’ powerful magic, who can resist? That reminds me, you haven’t formally introduced ’Xuan Re’ to us yet." By this time, the other three skeletons had also gathered around. Each of them had a different look in their eyes when looking at Ah Dai. Iron Skull had a trace of disdain, Wind Skull had a hint of admiration, while Ice Skull still had a touch of melancholy and sorrow in her deep eyes.
Ah Dai smiled awkwardly, "Big Brother Blood Skull, stop teasing us. Our Evil Sky Mercenary Group consists of just two people. Let me introduce you." He put his arm around Xuan Yue and said, "You’ve all met before. She was disguised as a man back then for certain reasons. Actually, her real name is Xuan Yue, my fiancée."
Hearing the word "fiancée", a sweet smile appeared on Xuan Yue’s charming face. Ice Skull, however, shuddered and her beautiful eyes darkened even more. Xuan Yue smiled and said, "I’m sorry for my previous actions, everyone. This is my apology." She gave a slight bow to the four. Seeing Xuan Yue’s beautiful face, the three Skeleton brothers were momentarily captivated. Wind Skull praised, "Ah Dai, you’re truly lucky! To be honest, I’m a bit envious of you. Hahaha."
