Ku Wei watched as the sword approached him, but he merely raised his hands and countered with a Finger Tap.
Finger Tap was a battle technique that came from the Ku family’s legacy, and it was famous for quelling the target’s battle intent. And without any intent, the tip of a sword would lose its sharpness.
Ku Wei’s Finger Tap struck the tip of the sword, and the blade shattered into multiple pieces that flew in all directions. The swordsman in the Hunter realm was shocked when he realized what had happened, and he stared at Ku Wei in aghast. “Who are you?”
The Sword Sect’s cultivators were usually the challenged ones, so he had not expected to be challenged like this on this day. Additionally, he was thoroughly embarrassed that he had not even been able to hold his sword correctly against his challenger. Still, despite his raging emotions, the Hunter did not continue his attack. He was someone who had managed to become a Hunter, and he was definitely experienced enough to understand what sort of situation he was in.
Ku Wei’s Finger Tap had left quite an impression on the Hunter, as it was an extraordinary battle technique.
“Judging from your appearance, you must be from the Sword Sect, correct?” Ku Wei asked.
The man warily stared at Ku Wei before shifting his focus over to the spacecraft where Lu Yin was still sitting. Suddenly, the Hunter went pale. He had recognized the collapsible Aurora after noticing the Sea King’s Dome’s emblem that decorated the hull. “Are you from the Sea King’s Dome? Why did you block my path? I’m a Sword Sect cultivator who’s carrying out his duties.”
Ku Wei lazily replied, “Brother Wei here isn’t trying to block you. I’m just trying to get some directions. Which way is the Sword Sect in?”
The man stared at Ku Wei with open suspicion. “Just who exactly are you? Why would you ask me for the Sword Sect’s location?”
Ku Wei was losing his patience. “Just do what I tell you to do! Stop yapping!”
The man’s eyes narrowed further, and he secretly tapped his fingers against his gadget. While doing so, he kept a close eye on Ku Wei. This person did not appear to be a decent human being no matter how he looked at him.
At that moment, Lu Yin emerged from the spacecraft. He faced the man and courteously said, “Please report to the Sword Sect that Lu Yin wishes to visit.”
The man was momentarily stunned, and then his expression quickly changed to one of surprise. He stared at Lu Yin and asked, “Are- are you Lu Yin?”
Lu Yin nodded.
The man repeatedly scanned Lu Yin up and down. “Are you really Lu Yin?”
“Why? What is there to doubt? Don’t you feel his domineering aura and invincible aura?” Ku Wei roared loudly as he moved over to stand beside Lu Yin.
Lu Yin frowned; was this bastard Ku Wei trying to mock him? If not, then why was it so uncomfortable to hear him spout all this flattery?
The man hurriedly replied, “Please wait a moment. I’ll make the report now.”
With that, he raced back to his ruined spacecraft.
Ku Wei complained, “Your Highness, that guy was so blind! Despite Your Highness’s endless grace, he wasn’t able to recognize you even though he’s from the Innerverse. How useless! It’s no wonder why he’s stuck as a Hunter even after all his years of cultivation. He’s certainly not young.”
Lu Yin calmly responded, “Don’t ever refer to me as ‘domineering’ or ‘invincible’ in the future. I haven’t reached that level yet. Actually, call me Seventh Bro from now on.”
Ku Wei was thrilled. “Seven- Seventh Bro? Does Little Wei have the right to do so? Your Highness, you’re too good to me! Little Wei will give you my all! I’ll gladly lay my life down for you.”
Lu Yin was rendered speechless, and he suddenly recalled that this bastard was actually Lu Yin’s lockbreaking disciple. If Lu Yin asked Ku Wei to address him as ‘master,’ then would Ku Wei start another insane session of bootlicking right away? The thought sent chills down Lu Yin’s spine.
Before much time passed, the man returned and respectfully informed Lu Yin, “Alliance Leader Lu, we are quite far from the Sword Sect. So, Elder Liu has invited you to join him at Charm Mountain Flowzone before traveling to the Sword Sect together.”
Lu Yin asked in confusion, “Charm Mountain Flowzone?”
The man nodded and replied solemnly, “The Sword Sect is about to wage a war against the Charm Mountain Sect and exterminate them.”
