The Sword Emperor quietly prepared for his final match against Lu Yue Song, he had been tempering his own body.
For some reason, when he met Lu Yue Song, the latter didn't kill him even with his overwhelming advantage. When Lu Yue Song killed his son and daughter-in-law, he was there and both of them clashed.
They are both Immortal Ascension ranked experts, yet, due to his rage, the Sword Emperor lost, his cultivation decreased, and with major injuries, Lu Yue Song escaped.
After he recovered, he had traveled the continent in search of Lu Yue Song, but when the two of them met, not only had Lu Yue Song's cultivation deteriorated, it even became more powerful!
But at that time, he was prepared to die, yet, the other party seemed to be in full rage, Yue Song didn't kill him, but he was left nearly dead at the mountain's foot fending for himself.
But, Lu Yue Song, the Martial Emperor spoke one thing as he left: "If you managed to make it out of here alive, then, I'll cripple you again, I will be staying at the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom, my old friend."
With a sneer, his figure vanished completely.
After that day, he strived his best to come to Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom, but with demonic beasts and bandits harassing him left and right, he couldn't recover and even got worst.
Luckily for him, Mo Xie arrived.
Mo Xie continued his travel together with them and as they reached the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom's capital, he couldn't help but smile.
"They prepared huh?" Mo Xie couldn't help but ask, he saw a defensive formation surrounding the capital completely, not only that, but there is also another barrier protecting the castle.
Sword Emperor couldn't help but frown: "That's the Divine Protection formation that the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom is so proud of, even if the emperor himself is to try and break it, it will be useless!"
He looked at Mo Xie and advised: "I suggest you leave now, it's a truly formidable formation that wouldn't be destroyed even by an Immortal Saint rank!"
Mo Xie sighed, he knew this person only wants them to get away from this place due to the danger it possesses, but that is after looking at their cultivation level!
He looked at the Sword Emperor: "You were talking about vengeance and stuff earlier right?"
The Sword Emperor froze a bit before he nodded: "But what does that have to do with anything right now? You should leave!"
Mo Xie chuckles: "Take me as your master, I will grant you the chance for vengeance and... I'll even help you fulfill the meaning of your own title."
The Sword Emperor felt speechless; 'This isn't the time for things like this! You should escape!'
But he sighed and shook his head: "How about this, I'll accept you as my master, but you need to get away from this place immediately, it's for your own safety as my master."
"Hahahaha!" Mo Xie couldn't help but laugh as the Sword Emperor became desperate: "Well, as a master in front of his student, that is something I can't do now, right?"
The Sword Emperor felt that everything he plans to make Mo Xie retreat is useless!
But as the topic head here, a few hundreds of figures started to head over to their direction.
"I presume you are that Mo Xie?" The speaker is none other than Du Mingzi: "Head back now and we will clean off the slate between the two of us, what say you?"
"Ha!" Mo Xie couldn't help but exclaim as he added: "We came all the way here to settle our grudges, wipe our grudges?"
"I've already endured not killing you all for a whole month, and you think that it will be as easy as that?"
Du Mingzi frowns: "No matter what you do, you will never be able to breach our walls."
"I don't know what kind of trickery you've done within the Xiao Clan, but their foundation isn't as solid as ours! We had been ruling this lands of thousands of years, you think your measly cultivation of Sky Shattering rank can do something?"
"Hiding behind your beast and woman, you have no shame to even call yourself a man!"
Mo Xie chuckles, this is definitely the tone of provoking trash, trying to lure him in? He couldn't help but smile at this childish play of theirs.
Du Mingzi sneered: "Then, come, let me see you break our founder's very own formation!"
He looked at his clansmen and retreated; "As soon as he depletes his strength, we together with the member of the Dark Guild will kill him."
"Yes." Everyone nodded in unison.
Mo Xie smiled at them, he shook his head and heaved a sigh: "Even though I want to kill them now, sadly, they need to pay for their crimes."
He shifts his gaze towards Kara: "Have you finished the task?"
Kara shook her head: "Master, only about a tenth left."
Mo Xie nodded his head: "Then, I will start now."
As he smiled, he looked at the Sword Emperor: "This will be your first lesson, we shall start with the basics."
'First lesson?!' The Sword emperor couldn't help but feel speechless; 'We're not really in a place where we could conduct a lesson now!'
'Also, I agreed to become your student not because I want you to teach me, it is to save your life!' But all of his thoughts disappeared as he heard Mo Xie and saw his action.
"Cultivation without a proper foundation is mere display in front of a real expert. So long as the gap isn't as wide as heaven and earth, one can defeat... or even kill those that are above their cultivation." As Mo Xie spoke, his hand glowed as spiritual energy gathered on it.
Mo Xie pushed himself to the limit, his hand radiating sharp energy sending others to feel it even from afar!
Du Mingzi and the rest couldn't help but look back, and as they did, they saw a terrifyingly sharp energy gathered around Mo Xie's right hand.
The Sword Emperor couldn't help but look at it in shock, he had practiced years and years to the point of neglecting his own family and health to reach the second stage of sword mastery, Sword Energy!
He was a talented youth before, a genius of the Fallen Leaf Continent's human race! At the age of 14, he already grasped Sword Intent, at the age of 64, he completed the Sword Intent's master and broke through to Sword Energy, but the mastery in front of him was his dream that he couldn't even reach through hundred of years practicing the sword.
He slowly uttered: "Sword... Core..."
Mo Xie smiled at him: "Let me show you, what foundations can do!"
As Mo Xie spoke, he waved his hand towards the formation barrier.
Swish~ As he waved his hand, the energy vanished, nobody knew where it went or what happened, but at the next instant, it happened.
The path that Mo Xie hand waved unto had separated, the two barriers from protecting the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom's capital, dissipating as everyone could only look.
Du Mingzi couldn't help but tremble as he uttered: "A... the formations are... are broken?!"
Mo Xie merely smiled at their dumbfoundedness, only Shang Ting, Zhuding, and Kara remained calm due to already being used to Mo Xie's feats!
Mo Xie then spoke to Du Mingzi: "Is there anything more that you wish to show before all of you suffer?"
Mo Xie's voice sounded, like a reaper to their ears.
Du Mingzi woke first: "Kill them fast! He must've used a treasure, he definitely wouldn't have anymore!"
"KILL!"
As Du Mingzi shouted, members from the Dark Guild also appeared, they all showed above Zhuding!
The Sword Emperor couldn't help but be shocked, he drew his broken sword to fight and protect Mo Xie, but then...
As they charged, Mo Xie chuckles: "I guess that's it."
Mo Xie sighed, and with a wave from him, something happened.
Zhuding advanced, not wanting to catch the enemies.
"Ack!"
A heavy pressure dawned on all of them, sending them all back down unto the ground!
"Urgh!"
The Dark Guild's member couldn't believe it, they were actually pressured to the point that they couldn't do a thing?!
But as they speechlessly look at Mo Xie, Kara walked towards the latter and stood still: "Master, I'm done."
