Capítulo 977: Chapter 63: No Ravines in a Tiger’s Eyes
Wan Xuesong sighed.
“Did the Green Mountain Sword Sect not gain a Martial Arts Master like you?”
The suddenly appeared burly man spoke in a muffled voice.
Almost every Martial Arts Master is a renowned figure, tasked with important duties no matter where they are, constantly watched by many.
If a faction painstakingly cultivates or recruits a Martial Arts Master but hides them without using them, it is undoubtedly a huge waste.
Moreover, even if a Martial Arts Master refrains from taking action, they still require mid-third grade Implants and various precious Elixirs for cultivation, and these resources are hard to conceal without leaving any trace.
Thus, it is rare to find a Martial Arts Master entirely unknown to the outside world.
Expecting the Crown Prince or Li Fei to possibly arrange a Martial Arts Master to protect their family, Lu Wenzheng had already anticipated and specifically investigated.
He ultimately confird that none of the Martial Arts Masters under the Crown Prince were stationed in Feng Province.
Therefore, upon seeing the visitor, Wan Xuesong confird that this person was a hidden ‘card’ of the Crown Prince, who had subtly achieved a breakthrough and never made a public move before.
Similarly, Wan Xuesong was also a hidden trump card of the Green Mountain Sword Sect. He only made a breakthrough at the end of last year and deliberately refrained from rushing to integrate Implants to avoid exposure.
This is also why he wasn’t worried at the mont.
Even if the Crown Prince and Li Fei hid a Martial Arts Master, they would never expect the Green Mountain Sword Sect to also gain a Martial Arts Master, who would firmly stand on Lu Wenzheng’s side!
This ti, Wan Xuesong and Nolan Zhi arrived in Xing City together, so even if blocked on their side, once Nolan Zhi succeeded, they could co over, making it two against one.
Victory was still in their grasp!
In the courtyard, the Martial Arts Master from Thunder Zen Temple did not rush to make a move, just calmly watching Wan Xuesong.
This made Wan Xuesong frown slightly, feeling a tinge of unease:
“Could the Crown Prince have dispatched another Martial Arts Master hidden in Xing City?”
The Eldest Prince and Prince Li would act in the Southern Border tonight, while activities were underway tonight in Xing City as well.
Even if the Crown Prince and Li Fei received news tonight, they wouldn’t have ti to send reinforcents here.
And sending two Martial Arts Masters to hide in Xing City beforehand, without making a move, showing up, or cultivating, seed very unlikely!
After all, there was no way they could have foreseen the Eldest Prince and Prince Li’s intentions to ‘clear the royal court’.
With Lu Wenzheng’s great trend already lost, no chance of victory remained, and the Green Mountain Sword Sect would not continue supporting Lu Wenzheng. They would even find it difficult to mobilize the family-tributed Martial Arts Master, let alone get others to fight ardently.
Under such circumstances, the Crown Prince had no reasonable motive to plan for two Martial Arts Masters to hide in Xing City ahead of ti.
Wan Xuesong’s mind raced with many thoughts, and just as he was about to probe, suddenly a Sword Light rose into the sky at a distance, turning the dark night into day.
His expression changed, swiftly turning his head: “Sect Master?!”
This sword move was unmistakably an ultimate skill from the Green Mountain Sword Sect.
Nolan Zhi’s personal intervention should have sufficed against several Refining Strength Martial Masters; why would an ultimate move be necessary?
Unless an opponent of equal level had appeared!
“You all…”
Wan Xuesong turned to look at the Martial Arts Master in the courtyard.
The opponent seized this mont of his distraction to launch a fierce attack on him!
…
On the long street, as Nolan Zhi approached the car where Li Lei was seated, preparing to attack, a vast Force roared like a raging wind towards him!
He swiftly turned, drew his sword, and cleaved the oncoming Force, then stabbed forward with his sword, the Sword Light like a teor.
Clang!!!
The clashing sound of tal reverberated through the night sky, and a shower of sparks scattered.
Nolan Zhi’s sword struck an iron wall, and all the Sword Qi sank without a trace, while a powerful recoil from the wall made his arm numb.
“Divine Skills?!”
Nolan Zhi held his sword and retreated, frowning slightly.
Suddenly, a figure dashed out from the shadows, coming before the car Li Lei was in.
The person appeared sowhat downcast, with disheveled hair, a beard-covered face, slightly worn clothing, and a weary aura.
Yet, his presence felt as imposing as a towering mountain, creating a strong sense of contradiction.
“Who are you?”
Nolan Zhi asked.
The visitor, looking desolate, scratched his head:
“Just a re Loose Cultivator, not worth ntioning. Why doesn’t Sect Master Nolan call it off? Let’s not fight.”
“Dream on!”
Nolan Zhi charged at him with his sword, a gleam of moonlight appearing on the longsword, as if plucking the moon from the sky and infusing it into the blade.
Divine Skills — [Moon Pluck]!
This divine skill could absorb moonlight to temper oneself, store moonlight for attack, defense, or healing.
The divine skill’s power would increase significantly when there was a moon at night.
It’s a comprehensive divine skill integrating cultivation, attack and defense, and healing, similar to Li Fei’s [Mixed Heaven Golden Palace].
Clang—
The massive sound of tal collision echoed as Nolan Zhi’s sword hit an iron wall again, leaving only a small dent.
Nolan Zhi could distinctly feel a part of the moonlight on his sword absorbed by the iron wall.
“Defensive Divine Power!”
His face turned grim.
This was the opponent he least wanted to face.
One intended to kill, the other to save; the killer naturally held the initiative and advantage.
But with the opponent having Defensive Divine Power, the situation changed drastically.
“Ah.”
The despondent-looking man sighed, activating his divine skill to repair the damaged iron wall.
