He might very well be the masked man’s disciple!
Lei Shuangxing fell silent. He started feeling his way around again, tapping the tip of his cane on the ground as he moved. In front of him stood a group of law enforcers.
“Excuse me.”
The others who heard him glared at him with sheer astonishment. The blind youth seemed to show no regard for the law enforcers at all! He had the gall to request that they let him pass through as if the place was his own!
“Stop right there!”
One of the law enforcers yelled at him. His voice quivered slightly.
Lei Shuangxing walked around him, passing him by, and walked right into the group of law enforcers.
Xu Xiaoshou was in awe and felt respect for the man. The members of the Holy Vassal seemed to know no fear at all!
But he should not be that bold, even though he was a Master Swordsman. His actions were tantamount to open provocation!
A mere Master Swordsman would not be a match for a Sovereign Stage cultivator whose wrath he had provoked.
Ye Xiaotian got mad. He held his hands out, intending to trap the blind young man with Shackles of the Abyss. But Lei Shuangxing was faster. He pulled a jadestone out of his robes.
What manner of attack was that? Did he plan to throw the rock at Ye Xiaotian?
Everyone stared in puzzlement as Lei Shuangxing crushed the jadestone in his hand. A pillar of sword energy surged into the sky, ripping the Heavens apart, before swinging toward Ye Xiaotian in a violent slash.
The move looked vividly familiar.
It abruptly distracted Ye Xiaotian, as the move instantly reminded him of the masked man. It was his sword energy!
Though the familiar sword energy the blind youth had unleashed was terrifying, it was significantly slower than one executed by the masked man. With a slight shift to the side, Ye Xiaotian dodged the sword energy which continued past him along its slashing arc.
The white sword energy continued striking relentlessly and surged toward the clouds. The Spirit Palace’s array rippled into view as the blow landed on it.
Everyone laughed.
He was truly blind. He had missed his mark!
The next moment, the chimes of an ancient bell rang through the place.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The smiles on everyone’s faces froze. The chiming of the bell went on and only ceased after it hit seven times. It was then when everyone panicked.
The bell chimed seven times. It meant that a great enemy had arrived.
The blind man had no intention to hurt Ye Xiaotian with his sword. He used the attack to accomplish a task.
It was to send a signal.
Ye Xiaotian’s ears twitched. A look of alarm appeared on his face.
It would seem Xiao Qixiu had requested help!
The man before him had not come alone. He had the Holy Vassal’s bigwigs as his reinforcement!
“What do you want?”
Ye Xiaotian silently swore. The Spirit Palace was a small sect, but it seemed to be a repeated target of terrorist organizations such as the Holy Vassal. It was not a good feeling at all.
Lei Shuangxing steadied himself with his cane and stepped forward. There was fear and fury on the faces of the law enforcers as they gradually back away.
In response to Ye Xiaotian’s question, Lei Shuangxing’s voice remained calm, as if nothing in this world could faze or distract him.
“Nothing. I came to pick someone up.”
