Chapter 396: Chapter 397: Wolves Ahead, Tigers Behind

Within the nine-layered Saber Tower.

After Ye Wudao instantaneously killed Long Teng, he gazed at the decaying Saber King, his heart filled with emotions.

If it were not for the Saber King who had helped him awaken and breakthrough with his last breath, would he have fallen here today?

He approached the Saber King’s body, knelt on one knee, and performed the disciple’s salute, saying, "Predecessor Saber King, please allow me to call you teacher. Thank you, I will definitely fulfill my mission and avenge you!"

After completing the salute, Ye Wudao stood up, ready to leave the place.

Wait...

Ye Wudao suddenly sensed a terrifying aura from outside the nine-layered Saber Tower, changing his expression instantly.

Although he had advanced to the War Spirit Realm, with his unparalleled talent, he could instantly kill warriors of the War Spirit Realm and even stand invincible in the realm of War Lords!

But Long Teng’s master was an old monster from the War Spirit Realm!

Ye Wudao was not completely certain in his heart.

The scene shifts to outside the nine-layered Saber Tower.

The old man in the green robe squeezed out a drop of blood and murmured a spell, continuously shaking a purple soul bell in his hand.

Ding ding dang dang!

The purple soul bell kept ringing.

Suddenly, a fierce light shot from the eyes of the old man in the green robe, his pupils filled with murder, "My disciple has been murdered!"

In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from the old man like an angry lion, blasting a palm towards the nine-layered Saber Tower.

Boom!

The nine-layered Saber Tower made a huge sound, its restriction blocking the power of the green-robed elder. "Who killed my disciple, come out!"

"No matter who you are, if you dare kill my disciple, I will make sure you have no grave to lie in!"

"If you have the guts, stay in the nine-layered Saber Tower forever, otherwise, if you dare show your face, I will take your head!"

Hearing the frenzied curses of the outside world’s green-robed elder, Ye Wudao hesitated in his gaze.

He found himself in a dilemma.

Although his strength had greatly increased and he could claim to be a king in the realm of War Lords, he was faced with an even more difficult test!

To fight, or to retreat?

Just then, the Hidden Dragon Saber in Ye Wudao’s hand suddenly began to tremble.

Ye Wudao turned his gaze to the Hidden Dragon Saber, surprised, "Hidden Dragon Saber, are you saying to fight?"

The Hidden Dragon Saber continued to tremble, seemingly responding to Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao curled his lips into a smile, his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit, "Good, the Hidden Dragon Saber has been silent for many years, it’s time to let it taste blood again!"

Outside.

The green-robed elder continued to issue challenges, swearing loudly, "Do you plan to hide in the nine-layered Saber Tower forever, like a coward?"

Just then, a cold voice responded, "Old fool, stop yapping like a dog!"

Who?

The green-robed elder looked up, his malicious gaze fixating on Ye Wudao appearing before him, his face filled with disdain.

"A mere War Spirit Realm weakling, let the real murderer behind you come out!"

Ye Wudao spoke lightly, "It was me who killed Long Teng!"

Just you?

The green-robed elder’s eyes displayed scorn, not shifting until he saw the dark broadsword in Ye Wudao’s hands. His pupils suddenly contracted, his irises showing shock, "Hidden Dragon Saber, the second ranked famous saber of Dragon Country, so it really is you!"

"Hand over the Hidden Dragon Saber!" the green-robed elder’s eyes filled with greed.

"Heh, now you are not barking to avenge your disciple?" Ye Wudao taunted.

"Presumptuous!" the green-robed elder roared in anger, "A mere War Spirit Realm trash, merely wielding the power of the Hidden Dragon Saber, I will take your head right now!"

With that, the green-robed elder struck a palm at Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao, unafraid, countered with a punch.

Bang!

The clash of fist and palm erupted in a deafening explosion!

The two were evenly matched!

The green-robed elder’s face changed, shock in his heart, "How is this possible? Although I used less than twenty percent of my strength in that palm, it should have been enough to instantly kill any War Spirit Realm warrior, even an eighth-grade War Lord couldn’t withstand it!"

"I had sensed a shadow earlier, never expected it was you, you little beast!" the green-robed elder raged, "You know, the thing I hate most is someone pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!"

"Heh, I’m not a pig, and as for your disciple, he’s nothing more than a maggot!" Ye Wudao taunted.

"You’re courting death!" The green-robed elder was enraged, his body suddenly erupting with a terrifying aura, sweeping the entire scene with the power of the Third Rank War Spirit Realm.

Ye Wudao’s expression changed.

This old coot’s strength really is not simple!

"Remember the name of this old man, Qing He!" Qing He drew out a blue sword from his body and struck at Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao hurriedly wielded his saber to block.

Clang!

A metallic collision sounded.

"Thud thud..." Ye Wudao’s footsteps moved back a bit, the strength of the Third Rank War Spirit Realm was indeed formidable!

"Hmph, let you taste the fierceness!" Qing He’s eyes boiled with a murderous intent, his sword struck forward, sounding like the cry of a crane.

"Crane Cry Sword Technique!"

A streak of sword light transformed into a flying crane, hurtling towards Ye Wudao. This strike was extremely powerful, enough to kill the peak of a War Lord!

Not good!

Ye Wudao’s color changed, and he hurriedly wielded his saber to defend.

Boom!

A loud noise transmitted.

Ye Wudao staggered backward, retreating five or six steps before barely stopping his backward movement.

"Cough!" A trace of fresh blood spilled from Ye Wudao’s mouth, his eyes solemn.

Third Rank War Spirit Realm old monster, his strength is indeed formidable!

He is not someone I can contend with at the moment!

"Little beast, the Hidden Dragon Saber in your hands is nothing but wasted potential! Hand it over, and this old man might leave your corpse intact!" Qing He’s eyes greedily fixed on the Hidden Dragon Saber in Ye Wudao’s hands.

Ye Wudao sneered, "Heh, doesn’t Long Teng really want this saber? Aren’t you trying to snatch what others love?"

"Hmph, Teng is already dead, the Hidden Dragon Saber naturally belongs to me!" Qing He unashamedly displayed his greed.

"Hmph, your royal family is all just a nest of snakes and rats, creatures who forget favors for profit!" Ye Wudao taunted.

"You’re at death’s door, yet you still dare to be hard-mouthed!" Qing He’s eyes turned venomous, just then, a series of footsteps approached.

"Brother Qing He!"

Qing He turned his head and saw dozens of royal family experts approaching, led by a burly middle-aged man with a beard, sporting a terrifying dragon-shaped tattoo on his arm.

"Brother Long Kui, you’ve arrived!" Qing He said with a smile.

"What’s going on?" Long Kui asked curiously.

"Teng died at the Nine Layer Saber Tower, killed by this scoundrel. The Hidden Dragon Saber is in this little beast’s hands. I was preparing to seek vengeance for Teng!" Qing He angrily said.

What?

Teng is dead!

Long Kui looked shocked, then his gaze deadly fixed on Ye Wudao, his pupils filled with murderous intent; "Little beast, you dare murder our royal family’s Second Young Master!!"

Qing He scoffed at the side; "Little beast, you’re doomed! He is Long Kui, like me, a renowned elder of the royal family!"

Ye Wudao’s eyes were intensely solemn.

It’s true what they say, if fearing something could actually bring it about!

One Qing He was already trouble enough for me!

Now here’s Long Kui to add to it!

Between the devil and the deep blue sea!

Ye Wudao couldn’t help but lament; when it rains, it pours.

Could it be that my good luck in the Nine Layer Saber Tower has all run out?

"Little beast, do you know? Teng is my own nephew! You killed Teng, I will tear you to pieces!" Long Kui’s eyes blazed with endless fury.

"Kill!"

"Kill!" The dozens of royal experts all bellowed.

"Go to hell!" Long Kui burst out with a terrifying aura, taking a step forward, the ground cracking like a spider web, and rushing towards Ye Wudao.

Just in the nick of time, a domineering voice came, sounding like a wild beast roaring, carrying a power that seemed to tear everything apart; "Who dares touch my junior brother?"
