Chapter 194: Shocking Battle

Translator: Tim Editor: Chrissy

Bian Po saw that Ye Mo couldn’t dodge and was about to be cut in half by the sword, but just as the sword was about to hit, Ye Mo suddenly dropped down, as though he weren’t charging straight but free-falling.

Such amazing control, being able to do this in midair, even Bian Po was amazed. But even so, he didn’t go easy. His sword turned 90 degrees without a trace and cut down toward Ye Mo again.

Ye Mo had to admire Bian Po’s sword technique. He held back some power on each strike so he could change moves at any time.

“I’ll let you guys die together,” Bian Po sneered, seeing that Ye Mo landed where the long-haired man lay. His sword attacked swiftly.

At that moment, Bian Po froze. He found that Ye Mo had disappeared. His sword stopped, and Ye Mo used this opportunity to escape. He’d used this technique against Daoist Xian, but he wasn’t sure whether it would work against Bian Po.

When Bian Po noticed Ye Mo’s disappearance, he froze for a moment, but that moment was enough for Ye Mo to escape.

“Invisibility artifact?” Bian Po immediately located Ye Mo and attacked again.

Despite using invisibility to escape this near-death strike, the blade light still slashed a deep wound in his back.

Before Bian Po could attack again, Ye Mo threw his short axe.

“Small trick,” Bian Po sneered. The moment he saw Ye Mo charge toward the long-haired man, he guessed Ye Mo might use the axe.

As he expected, Ye Mo’s axe flew toward his shoulder.

Bian Po sneered; this young man wanted to cut off his right arm. This guy had completely overestimated himself. The axe whistled; obviously, Ye Mo wasn’t very good at projectiles.

But soon, Bian Po noticed something odd. The frosty wind accompanying the axe was shocking. He couldn’t understand how a simple axe carried such frosty wind. But in that moment, the axe reached his right shoulder.

He didn’t even think and turned his sword to deflect the axe. He wanted to do what he’d done to the long-haired man.

However, what he couldn’t understand was that before the axe reached his right shoulder, it suddenly turned and attacked his left shoulder, but its momentum was much weaker.

“Idiot,” Bian Po sneered again. Ordinary projectile masters knew how to make them turn mid-flight using inner qi. To him, Ye Mo was obviously unfamiliar with this technique, because when the axe turned, it slowed considerably.

Even if the speed hadn’t slowed, it would have been impossible for him to be hit, much less at its reduced speed.

Bian Po wanted to use his left hand to grab the axe, but he felt something was wrong; his right arm was severed by some unseen projectile, and the frosty wind sliced toward his waist.

Not good, Bian Po immediately retreated and threw his axe while picking up his broken pace. There was no hesitation between these movements; that’s how fast he reacted.

Ye Mo didn’t have time to regret not severing Bian Po’s waist since the axe was still flying. As he dodged the axe, Ye Mo knew that as long as he didn’t kill Bian Po, he wasn’t out of danger. Even one-handed, it would still be very easy for Bian Po to kill him.

He calculated everything and even used the axe to cover his wind blade, but he wasn’t able to cut Bian Po’s waist off. This showed how strong the other party was. Luckily, he aimed for the arm first; otherwise, Bian Po could have easily seen through his plan if he’d aimed for his waist from the start.

When Bian Po retreated to the cliff edge, so did Ye Mo.

He was furious, having his arm cut off in such a strange way. He gripped his long sword with his left hand and didn’t speak. His sword spun, about to encompass Ye Mo again.

Ye Mo kept his spirit sense on the sword. Soon, he felt relieved; although Bian Po’s left-hand sword technique was very good, it was far inferior to his right.

It was the same sword light, but Ye Mo clearly perceived the sword’s trajectory.

Ye Mo didn’t hesitate and grabbed the back of the single-bladed sword. At the same time, he focused his chi, wanting to control the sword. Even though his left hand wasn’t as good as his right, if Ye Mo let Bian Po use his sword technique, he would still die.

“Hmph,” Bian Po didn’t expect Ye Mo to be able to grab the back of the sword. He sneered and was about to gather energy to pull back the sword and cut Ye Mo in half, but at that moment, a huge force came from the sword’s back. Ye Mo actually jumped off the cliff, pulling him along.

Bian Po wouldn’t let go of his sword and twisted it. A huge force ensued, and Ye Mo immediately let go.

“You want me to fall off the cliff with you? Keep dreaming. I won’t even let my sword go with you,” Bian Po twisted in midair and, before his breath of inner qi ended, dashed toward the cliff again in midair.

Ye Mo sneered; although he was falling, he raised his hands. Multiple wind blades sliced toward the space between Bian Po and the cliff edge.

As soon as Bian Po reached the edge, he felt multiple frosty winds coming at him. He remembered how strong they were and didn’t hesitate before turning and raising his sword to block.

Not good, as soon as Bian Po dodged those frosty winds, he realized he wasn’t on the cliff but past it. His inner qi was exhausted after dodging the projectiles, making it too difficult to return to the cliff.

Bian Po began to fall rapidly. Even so, he tried to use his sword to stop himself on the cliff side. However, Ye Mo wouldn’t let him. Although he was falling too, he had Wind Controlling Technique and was in a much better position than Bian Po. He kept attacking Bian Po until Bian Po lacked the inner qi to climb back up.

Then, Ye Mo threw a few fireballs. Although they didn’t reach him, Bian Po’s face changed drastically. On the ground, those fireballs would be no more threatening than bricks. However, he had nowhere to exert force and could only watch the fireballs approach.

“I didn’t think I would die here,” Bian Po yelled furiously. He threw his long sword.

Boom! All the fireballs landed on Bian Po’s body. Bian Po howled, and his entire body disappeared in the fireball. The falling body plummeted like a cannonball, vanishing from Ye Mo’s sight.

Although he fell, his sword still flew toward Ye Mo. Ye Mo’s chi was almost depleted, so he could only barely avoid a vital hit. The sword still passed through his back. Ye Mo, already bloodied, immediately started bleeding profusely. If he hadn’t dodged at the last moment, he would have been killed.

But even so, Ye Mo felt dizzy. Luckily, the sword dragged him to the cliff edge. In a haze of consciousness, Ye Mo grabbed onto whatever he could.

Rip. The vines couldn’t support Ye Mo’s weight and only slowed him before he continued falling.

Ye Mo bit his tongue and reached for anything on the cliff. He grabbed at anything he could, but this only slowed his descent.

…

Ning Qingxue saw the two figures fall down the cliff and was shocked. She could no longer hold the telescope, which fell and wobbled on her neck.

“Here, quick, I saw it here.” With Cui Lin’s voice, more than ten members of the tourist group arrived.

“Where? Where are the people fighting?” a young man asked immediately.

Cui Lin looked at the huge rock in shock. After a while, she said, “Hmm, Ning Qingxue and I both saw it. There were two figures fighting on this rock; why did it disappear so quickly? By the way, Ning Qingxue, you were always here; when did it disappear?”

“I think your eyes flashed. Do you think this is the home of a goddess at Wu Liang Mountain?” one of them immediately joked.

Although Cui Lin was a tour guide, she was very competitive and quickly said, “I really saw it; if you don’t believe me, ask Ning Qingxue.”
