Chapter 1968: Chapter 1969: Mysterious Powerhouse
Ye Luo suddenly pulled with both hands, unleashing an extremely powerful burst of spiritual power, directly dragging out that mysterious sword, Ghost Night!
But, this was merely all he could do. Even though Ye Luo exerted all his strength, Ghost Night was still slowly descending towards him!
Damn it, what on earth is this thing!
Why does this strangely shaped longsword possess such terrifying power!
What should I do?
How am I supposed to resolve this crisis?
Ye Luo’s mind raced with thoughts, and in just a moment, countless ideas flashed through!
But unfortunately, he couldn’t find any suitable method at all!
Du Long was always standing nearby, and aside from using Ghost Night, Du Long did not make any other moves.
It was as if he was convinced that Ghost Night would surely be able to defeat Ye Luo!
And in fact, he was right. If Ye Luo delayed any longer, he might really be slashed and killed right on the spot!
After all, even though Ye Luo was now resisting with all his might, that Lingyun Sword was still continuously falling towards him!
...
"Huh, a space treasure? Interesting!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, causing both Ye Luo and Du Long to look around in amazement!
They knew no one else was present in the vicinity as they fought, and both had spread out their divine senses. Yet judging by the voice, it was actually very, very close to them, as if it stood right beside them!
But still, they saw absolutely no one around them!
What’s going on?
The sudden interruption caused Du Long’s attack to slow slightly, yet Ye Luo still had to fully contend with Ghost Night, because Ghost Night hadn’t been taken away by Du Long!
Everyone was extremely surprised, even tense, looking around. The abrupt emergence of that voice was bewildering—friend or foe?
What did the owner of that voice want to do?
Both Ye Luo and Du Long had to think!
...
"This space artifact shouldn’t appear here, I’ll take it!"
Once again that voice sounded, bizarrely and mysteriously!
Because no one could see him, neither with the naked eye nor with divine sense, no one could discern the owner of the voice, yet it was incredibly clear!
"Playing tricks! Who has the guts, come out!"
Evidently, the atmosphere was unbearable for Du Long, prompting him to shout loudly, as if hoping to bring forth the voice’s owner.
Unfortunately, the voice ignored Du Long completely, but in the heavens, a beam of light appeared!
A flash of light, and accompanying its emergence, the mysterious sword Ghost Night suppressing Ye Luo just disappeared!
"Hey, this is your space artifact, right? Since I took advantage of you, I won’t let you suffer. Take this as an exchange!"
The voice rang out again, and simultaneously, a glowing point fell into Du Long’s hand!
Du Long was initially furious beyond measure, but with the emergence of the glowing point, his expression dramatically changed, seeming both shocked and skeptical!
Anyway, upon receiving that glowing point, Du Long immediately fled far, completely ignoring Ye Luo, and not minding his subordinates!
What’s going on, Ye Luo was stunned!
At this moment, Ye Luo was utterly bewildered; he had no idea what was happening now!
Seeing Du Long was capable of subduing him, yet suddenly fled?
Not quite right, perhaps it shouldn’t be called fleeing: seemed like he received some enormous benefit and didn’t want it to be discovered!
From the moment the glowing point appeared, it seemed Du Long had forgotten why he came here!
And besides, who was the owner of the voice?
Who’s going to tell Ye Luo, what’s actually happening now?
Seeing Du Long quietly ran away, naturally, those members from the Four Great Clans who followed him also departed immediately!
Ye Luo stood in place, dumbfounded, as these occurrences left Ye Luo utterly puzzled!
Initially, the expression of Du Long and his group was a murderous intent that Ye Luo had no doubt about; they wanted his life but retreated quickly without action!
As for that voice, it seemed to have vanished after handing Du Long the benefit, never sounding again!
Ye Luo turned to see Yun Yin and saw Yun Yin mirroring his confusion.
It can be said this is the most uncanny incident Ye Luo has ever encountered.
Ye Luo never figured out what actually happened!
Of course, Ye Luo knew, if Du Long has left, then it’s time for him to leave too!
"Let’s go, we should leave here too!"
Ye Luo said to Yun Yin, and seeing Yun Yin nod, the two promptly left swiftly.
However, the doubt in Ye Luo’s heart remained unresolved!
Who exactly is the owner of that voice, and what is his purpose?
The only thing Ye Luo could ascertain was that the voice’s owner never cared about Ye Luo or Du Long and others from the start, he was merely intrigued by Du Long’s Ghost Night Sword.
Furthermore, the voice owner did not bargain with Du Long to take Ghost Night Sword, he just casually took it, and what he gave Du Long was merely a reward!
The feeling was akin to, in the eyes of the voice’s owner, Ye Luo and the others were merely ants, not even worth him showing himself or speaking to them.
If it weren’t for Ghost Night Sword, he probably wouldn’t have spoken at all.
And apparently, the voice’s owner was just passing by!
Martial Realm is home to some strange races, which is not rare, hence regarding the voice’s owner, Ye Luo was certain it must be some powerful different race!
An unexpected crisis was resolved inexplicably like this?
If it wasn’t for the cracks on Lingyun Sword, Ye Luo would even suspect all that happened was like a dream!
But clearly, it wasn’t a dream, it truly happened!
Only he didn’t know who the voice’s owner was, nor what his intent was!
Certainly, since they’re out of danger now, Ye Luo then, along with Yun Yin, hurriedly left without delay.
Ye Luo knew clearly, since Du Long found him, it couldn’t guarantee no new threats might emerge!
Because Ye Luo also knew, after causing such a stir in Mountain Fortress, the people of Mountain Fortress wouldn’t let him go so easily, besides, with the presence of returnees, who knows if they have paid attention to him by now!
