Chapter 331: Chapter 332 Sky Blade Song Que
Translator: 549690339
“The main force of the first battlefield? It seems he is also a Great Crossing Realm Expert.”
Li Xiaobai nodded, no wonder there was such grandeur, the man indeed had the capital.
To be able to slaughter back and forth in the borderlands, he must be a ruthless character, and in terms of cultivation level, he probably belonged to the very top among those in the Mahayana Realm. It’s just unknown whether he has reached the realm of a Half-step Human Immortal.
He walked slowly forward and blended into the crowd, closely observing this Sky Blade Song Que.
This was a middle-aged man with his left hand missing, making his clothes look empty, and a scar across his face that was quite ferocious.
A saber hung at his waist, its rank indiscernible, listening to the information from the surrounding cultivators with a somewhat murky gaze.
“My lord, I am a cultivator from the third battlefield, here to deliver a war report and to conduct supply procurement.”
A cultivator stepped forward and said.
“How is the situation on the third battlefield?”
Song Que asked, a flash of light crossing his otherwise hollow gaze.
“Eh… that’s confidential, my lord…”
The cultivator hesitated; when coming here, he had been told by an elder not to mind Sky Blade Song Que.
“Alright, go inside.”
Song Que didn’t say much else, waved his hand, and signaled for the cultivator to enter.
“Thank you, Senior!”
The cultivator sighed in relief. Luckily the other party didn’t make things difficult for him, otherwise he really didn’t know what to say.
“Ahem, Senior, I wish to enter the city.”
Li Xiaobai stepped forward with a chuckle.
Song Que looked up at him, his gaze completely impassive, “What is your name?”
“I am Li Xiaobai.”
“Hmm, a nice name indeed, but wanted criminals are not allowed inside.”
Song Que pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from beneath him and threw it in front of Li Xiaobai.
On it was a clear portrait of Li Xiaobai.
Wanted Notice:
The elders of all races in Central Province offer a bounty for Li Xiaobai, alive. The rewards are ten million finest Spirit Stones, a top-level Cultivation Technique, and one opportunity for cultivation at the Three Sects.
Note: This person is extremely dangerous and possesses a Disguise Technique. If seen, report immediately.
The scene became a bit awkward, with the cultivators in line unconsciously stepping back, they often entered and left the Holy City, and naturally knew of Li Xiaobai’s reputation.
This man was audacious enough to turn Central Province upside down, and it was said that he possessed a great treasure; many cultivators were searching for him.
It hadn’t occurred to them that after disappearing from Central Province, he would show up in the borderlands.
While this place was not under Central Province’s jurisdiction, there were plenty of outlaws around; with him appearing so brazenly, wasn’t he afraid of being surrounded and killed?
Li Xiaobai picked up the crumpled paper from the ground and looked at Song Que.
“We are both beings who have traversed the path to invincibility. Please, make an exception this time.”
The cultivators were speechless. Was this not too conceited?
He was merely a junior, how dare he compare himself with the venerable Sky Blade Song Que, whose reputation was hard-won?
“Rules are rules. Wanted criminals cannot enter the Holy City; that is immutable. If you want to get inside, you will have to cut through me.”
Song Que spoke indifferently, still lazily sitting on the steps at the gate.
“Heh, merely a wanted criminal who offended the Three Sects and came here to lay low, and yet dares to compare himself to Senior Sky Blade, where is your shame?”
A young man parted the crowd and looked at Li Xiaobai with a cold gaze.
“Invincibility requires no explanation. Go back and learn from your elders. You know nothing of power.”
Li Xiaobai shook his head in lament; such individuals were no longer of interest to him nowadays, as only cultivators of the Great Crossing Realm could provide him with a significant number of Attribute Points.
“Kid, you’re quite arrogant.”
“I am a disciple of the Devil Cloud Cave of Central Province,” the young man said coldly. “May I ask who is your master?”
“Not even knowing me, it seems like you must be practicing some fake immortality. When you’re free, try reading the Immortal Spirit Daily a bit more, get out and see the world. It’s not wrong to lack strength in life, but having a narrow perspective and still trying to direct others is your problem.”
“Go back and consult your family elders and ask around about what kind of existence I really am.”
Li Xiaobai spoke without the slightest change in his face or heartbeat, as if he naturally deserved to be revered.
Well, right now, he actually was impressive, no need to pretend.
“How dare you! Even my clan’s senior brother isn’t as arrogant as you. Today, I will capture you in front of Senior Sky Blade and bring you back to Central Province!”
The young man was furious, with spiritual power surging around him, ready to take action.
“Hmph.”
A light snort passed through like a muffled thunder, striking the hearts of everyone present. The young man’s face turned pale, and he stumbled several steps backward.
“This is Holy City, where deadly combat is forbidden. Or perhaps you mean to make a move in front of this old man?”
Sky Blade Song Que’s expression darkened as a fierce aura burst forth from him, piercing the heavens.
An oppressive and stifling atmosphere filled the air, causing an involuntary shiver among the cultivators present.
“I dare not, it was my rudeness. I owe an apology to Elder Song,” the young man quickly bowed with his hands clasped in front, repeatedly apologizing, for fear the other party would slaughter him if displeased.
The other cultivators were also in disarray, for they had never seen Song Que angry before.
“Good you know. The rules of Holy City mustn’t be broken. Go ahead and enter.”
Song Que’s aura retracted, and the sharpness in the void vanished in an instant.
He waved his hand, signaling the young man to enter the city first.
The young man bowed with clasped fists and glared fiercely at Li Xiaobai before leaving.
“Rules are dead, but people are alive. I’ll go in and take a look without causing any trouble,” Xiaobai insisted unabashedly.
“You want to go in and make a scene? If you have the skills, you should go to the battlefield and kill enemies, not waste your time in Holy City. Apart from some trash people, there’s nothing here worth lingering for,” Song Que also made an astonishing remark, blatantly provoking hostility.
Only Sky Blade Song Que dared to speak so boldly, criticizing an entire city with his words.
“Trash people, trash souls, and trash at the top; we must analyze specific situations in detail and not generalize. I’ve heard there are quite a few big shots here, so I wanted to come and see them,” Xiaobai said with a slight smile, taking a step toward the inside.
“You can go in, but only if you can take a strike from me without dying,” Song Que said indifferently, his right hand already resting on his sheath.
“Alright then.”
As soon as Li Xiaobai nodded, a silver streak flashed before his eyes. The blade’s glow, silent and breathless, cut through the sky and in a blink, aimed for Li Xiaobai’s neck.
[Attribute Points +20000…]
[Attribute Points +30000…]
Hiss!
This Sky Blade Song Que was quite fierce, a casual strike of his carried power like that. If he got serious, wouldn’t he be on the same level as one of those great Sea Clan experts?
Li Xiaobai was shocked, realizing the frontier was indeed dangerous, having encountered such a being upon arrival.
“Zzzzzz!”
An ear-piercing metallic friction sounded, piercing through the eardrums of the cultivators present. Li Xiaobai was shaken so much that he stumbled back several steps, touching his neck.
In the midst of the stunned cultivators, he complained with a hint of resentment, “That kind of hurt.”
