Chapter 340
The ‘shaking sword rainbow’ seemingly cut through the sky . A figure was riding over that sword rainbow .
A group of experts were closely pursuing that figure .
“Do not let it escape!”
“That is a ‘stunning sword code’!” (1)
“Grab it, and we will have immeasurable future prospects!”
Sword Code!
Ye Xiwen promptly opened his eyes, and condensed Real Elemental Energy in them to have a clearer vision . He immediately saw a figure riding over that sword rainbow . However, it was not a human being, but a thick ‘sword code’ .
“Buried Sword Secrets!”
Ye Xiwen saw these three words written on that sword code; three large golden words . A chill ran all over his body . It felt as if it would destroy his very existence .
“Crap! Quickly chase it Ye Xiwen!” Ye Mo immediately shouted .
Ye Xiwen didn’t get enough time to think . He immediately pursued that figure .
“I haven’t seen a book running on its own . Could it be a book demon that has already cultivated successfully?” Ye Xiwen also began to tread on a rainbow . His body took the form of a lightning and advanced toward that figure .
“It shouldn’t be . It doesn’t have the soaring ‘demon energy’ of a book demon . It is only made of pure ‘sword energy’ . Hence, I can say for certain that it is a ‘stunning sword code’ . An ordinary secret book cannot have such mystical abilities!” Ye Mo said . (2)
The voices of the pursuers had started lagging farther and farther behind since they couldn’t match the speed of that sword rainbow .
It was moving at a scary speed . In fact, it was moving at such a fast speed that even Ye Xiwen couldn’t match its pace . He finally opened his devil wings and started to reduce the distance between himself and that sword rainbow; little-by-little .
It wasn’t clear as to how long it would take for Ye Xiwen to catch up . Suddenly, a giant stele arrived in front of his eyes . This stele seemed to have been thoroughly beaten by weather, and had already transformed beyond recognition . So much so, that it looked like an ordinary cliff covered entirely with weeds .
A huge cuneiform script (3) was engraved on it!
Such an engraved script would shake the minds of those who would see it . No one could tell whose hands were used to carve such a script . A person would only have an illusion of feeling the very suppression of heaven and earth upon seeing it .
No one knew when this giant stele was established or who did it — or what exactly was suppressed inside it .
Ye Xiwen was just about to overtake that stunning sword code . However, it suddenly entered that stele, and disappeared without a trace .
Ye Xiwen was somewhat surprised . He hadn’t expected that this sword code would submerge into that stele and vanish .
“How is this possible?” Ye Xiwen took several laps around that stele . But he couldn’t find where that sword code had gone to . He could only make speculations that this stele probably had some kind of relation with that sword code .
“This stele is quite strange isn’t it?” Ye Xiwen said . He didn’t know how long this had been such . However, he could tell that it must have been established at least over a hundred thousand years ago by the extent of its weathered appearance .
Even if something had been suppressed inside of it… it should’ve perished by now!
Ye Xiwen didn’t know whether there were any life forms which could live through eternity . But he certainly knew that the experts of legendary realm had a trivial lifespan of 1000 years . Even the top powerhouses of the sage realm had a lifespan of 2000 years . In fact, even the experts of the ‘Great Sage’ realm could only live for 5000 years . Hence, any living form would’ve been obliterated in the passage of 100,000 years .
In fact, this was truly the case . Ye Xiwen stepped onto that piece of land and felt that it was no different from an ordinary land . It didn’t seem to have any suppressive force either .
Then, Ye Xiwen heard a noise behind him . The experts who were chasing the sword code had finally appeared and surrounded him .
“Where is the sword code? Why can’t I feel the sword energy of that sword code? You must have taken it!” a middle-aged man stepped forward and said . He was clad in a magnificent robe, and appeared calm and composed . He was considerably stronger than the others .
“He has definitely taken it . Otherwise, how can it suddenly disappear like that? Moreover, we saw it coming this way a moment ago . So how come it’s not here anymore . He alone is here . He must have stolen it!” a young woman stepped-out and said . She was clad in a red robe and had a dainty stature . She had pearl-like white teeth and bright eyes . She looked extremely beautiful . She glared at Ye Xiwen as she spoke with her hands placed on her waist .
“I don’t have the sword code!” Ye Xiwen impatiently replied to this group of experts . The sword code had suddenly disappeared, and he himself was still puzzled .
“That’s impossible! We won’t believe you unless you let us inspect your spatial ring!” an expert shouted .
Ye Xiwen’s complexion suddenly changed . To let other people check one’s spatial ring was a matter of extraordinary shame and humiliation since it was a show of extreme distrust .
However, this was a normal thing in the eyes of those experts . It was impossible for Ye Xiwen to thoroughly consume and refine that sword code in such a short period of time . He could’ve only obtained it . Therefore, it was most probable that the sword code was inside his spatial ring .
“I said I don’t have it . And what will you do even if it is in my hands?” Ye Xiwen sneered and said, “First come, first serve . This is a truth that you don’t seem to know!”
“Young fellow, I advise you that you hand over that sword code . I will give you a reward if you will hand it over!” that middle-aged man said in a righteous manner .
“Reward? Someone like you thinks he can give me a reward?” Ye Xiwen looked coldly at him .
“Boy, you are quite presumptuous!” That middle-aged man said angrily, “Where do you think you are right now? You are just a rookie in front of me . You are nothing more than a baby who has just crawled out of its cradle . ”
One couldn’t judge the skill of an expert by looking at their face; however, one could easily guess a person’s age . Ye Xiwen didn’t even look 30 .
Those experts had judged that he must be a new disciple who had fled from the rear of the battlefield .
They were actually a step ahead in entering True Martial University, and had entered prior to Ye Xiwen and his batch of young geniuses . Also, the number of these old geniuses was quite enormous . It ranged up to hundreds of thousands of experts . This included including ones with tyrannical cultivations of more than hundred years . They simply didn’t pay attention to experts like Ye Xiwen who wasn’t even 50 years old .
Many of these old experts also belonged to the generation of highly talented people . In fact, their talent wasn’t worse than Ye Xiwen and the other young geniuses . However, their cultivation time was far more than Ye Xiwen’s . Many of these experts had missed the True Martial University’s last term of recruitment due to various reasons . According to them, experts below the age of 50 years were like rookies .
“Rookie, you say? You’ve been cultivating for more than hundred years . Yet, you still couldn’t enter the sage realm . A trash like you who cannot even cultivate properly shouldn’t be talking to me in that condescending tone!” Ye Xiwen sneered as anger flourished in his heart . His age was an advantage when considering his cultivation level . However, it was a disadvantage for him this time .
The complexion of those experts had immediately changed; especially the complexion of that middle-aged expert, who appeared to be their leader . His complexion had turned ashen . His age had already surpassed 150 years . Hence, he would be considered as a fairly old man among the new disciples .
Normally, these experts would be considered young geniuses at this age due this type of cultivation . However, they were practically worthless in True Martial University; a place where the geniuses were in abundance .
“It seems that you wish to die . Just kill him, and the stuff in his spatial ring will be ours!” that middle-aged expert roared . He shot his fist towards Ye Xiwen . A burst of cold fist energy rushed forth . It carried an ice-cold aura, and instantly swept towards Ye Xiwen .
The fist energy had frozen the air . The space itself had frozen, and was chipping bit by bit . It was not clear how far had the temperature dropped below zero degree . This was extremely terrifying .
“You think you can kill me!” Ye Xiwen sneered . He immediately shot a big hand, and it happened so fast that no one could see him do it . His big hand and that ice energy collided into each other . This led to an explosion .
It had seemed as if the sky would collapse at the time when his big hand grabbed that ice energy and crushed it .
The difference between the strength of both the sides was pretty clear . That expert was at legendary seventh stage . Comparing his strength with that of Ye Xiwen’s — was like distinguishing between mud and cloud .
“Clang!” Ye Xiwen’s big hand shot a startling sword intention into the sky . It seemed to shatter the entire world as it immediately arrived in front of that middle-aged expert .
“Puchi!” That sword intention pierced its way into that middle-aged expert like a long sword .
“Splash!” Blood splashed out from that middle-aged expert’s body . He simply didn’t think that Ye Xiwen would attack so fiercely and ruthlessly .
It seemed as if he had forgotten that it was actually him who wanted to kill Ye Xiwen first . This had thoroughly aroused Ye Xiwen’s killing intent .
Kill the person who tries to kill you!
Ye Xiwen’s logic was quite simple . Whoever would try to kill him — he would kill that person instead!
“You… You…” That woman in red robe was stunned . She and her group of experts also belonged to a vicious and merciless generation . No one knew how many people had died in their hands . However, the main point was that they had blundered by underestimating Ye Xiwen . He had merely been a lamb for slaughter in their eyes . …if he had acted obediently, they might have spared his life; if not, then they would’ve killed him .
However, Ye Xiwen had suddenly launched a counterattack in revolt, and had effortlessly slaughtered their most formidable expert . This pretty much explained why they were so shocked .
“Get lost!” Ye Xiwen coldly said . He did not mean to be ruthless with them .
Those people bitterly looked at Ye Xiwen . Now they were certain that he had stolen the sword code . However, they didn’t dare to continue confronting him . They could only bitterly depart from there .
Ye Mo opened his mouth as he saw those people leave, “Ye Xiwen, do you see how strange this matter is . The appearance of that sword code is also very strange . Other people may not have seen, but we clearly saw that it submerged into that stele . It seems that the problem lies inside that stele!”
“Well, that sword code attracted so many people, but actually disappeared all of a sudden… ” Ye Xiwen frowned and said .
“But, if those people were to think that you took the sword code… then they would’ve naturally launched an attack!” Ye Mo said .
“Whoever dares to cause trouble for me shall be slaughtered!” Ye Xiwen coldly said .
