Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 1201
Chapter 1201: Dongfang Bubai Is In Trouble
“Unless you have the courage to give up on everything, otherwise, I’m afraid it’s impossible for you to fight against Tiger Soul without being affected by it in the slightest. Now, you face a major problem. The two things you want that will allow you to control Tiger Soul are both in my hands!” Dongfang Bubai’s words were spoken in incredible confidence and pride. His air of supremacy was incredibly clear as well. He was certain that the alliance master was unable to snatch Tiger Soul from his hands.
As for the alliance master, his expression was incredibly calm. No one knew whether he was cooking up some sort of plan or whether had already given up on Tiger Soul. He just remained still.
This situation lasted for a full half a minute before something happened.
Without any signs, a snow-white saber suddenly shot out from the sand under Dongfang Bubai.
Dongfang Bubai’s expression changed drastically. He tapped against the air and flew away.
Boom!
Almost at the same time, the sand exploded, and a black figure shot out from the ground to chase after Dongfang Bubai tightly as he retreated. He was just like a maggot.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Snow-white saber glares bloomed continuously in front of Dongfang Bubai, and they were like a huge grinder. At the same time they cut through Dongfang Bubai’s large red robe, they created a huge suction force that largely reduced Dongfang Bubai’s speed as he retreated.
He, Dongfang Bubai, was an elite in the dao of heaven, and he even had Tiger Soul in his hands, but he was suppressed by this sudden attack in the desert. No one would possibly believe this.
“Kill him!”
But it was clear that he was not the only person who hid in the sand.
Right after the first call for an ambush rose, two soft sounds rose behind Dongfang Bubai as he retreated.
Boom! Boom!
The ground exploded, and two black shadows shot out at the same time.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Snow-white sword forces and dazzling saber glares filled the air, and they instantly intersected with each other behind Dongfang Bubai to form a deadly net of attacks.
“Cao Huaian!
“And the world of wanderers praise you for being a hero?!” When Dongfang Bubai turned his head around, he faced Cao Huaian and Mo Yan’s fierce attacks. He was able to recognize the man’s sword technique immediately, and he flew into a rage.
Boom!
He swung the saber, and the attacks from the two people in the peak of Myth Realm were easily shattered by a blood-red tiger-shaped saber glare.
Boom! Boom!
The saber glare crashed into Cao Huaian and Mo Yan, and their chests caved. They were severely injured straightaway, and both of them flew hundreds of feet away.
He also delivered a palm strike at the same time, and the ambusher in front of him grunted before he fell into the sand. Bits and pieces of organs and blood spilled all over the ground, and it was a terrifying sight. It was clear that he was no longer alive.
Of the three ambushers who suddenly appeared, one died, and two were injured
But Dongfang Bubai was unable to gain an advantage as well.
The mysterious person who was the first to shoot out of the sand was Young Wu, Jin Xiangyu’s number one employee. Even though he was an honest and silly fellow, he had already mastered his Ox Butchering since a long time ago.
Tsao Suiyan had not been privy to experience this in the past, but now, Dongfang Bubai had to experience it fully in his place.
Right after they clashed sabers, the flesh on his thigh was completely shredded. At the moment he landed on the ground, Dongfang Bubai let out a shrill and fierce howl, “My leg!
“AAAAAHHHH!”
That shout had a nearly crazed quality to it when it came out of Dongfang Bubai’s mouth.
BOOM!
An impact with substantial form swept out with a destructive force from Dongfang Bubai.
“ROAR!”
Once he shouted, a tiger’s roar shot out.
Tiger Soul had been trembling nonstop in Dongfang Bubai’s hands just now, but now, it had suddenly stopped trembling, a bewitching red light flashed, and it spread through his entire body.
His eyes turned bloodshot. Dongfang Bubai’s eyes were instantly occupied by a shade of hysterical, brutal and cruel red, and it completely devoured all signs of clarity in his eyes.
His qi had deviated.
This time, Dongfang Bubai was conquered by Tiger Soul in control. Since he was unable to accept this fact that he had lost his leg, Tiger Soul’s evil spirit completely invaded his soul, and it controlled him.
Whoosh!
He thrust the saber forward before pulling it up.
A tiger-shaped saber glare shot out easily with a bloody and violent momentum.
The saber glare charged through Young Wu’s corpse, which was not far away.
Bang
Young Wu’s corpse was reduced to powder, and it fused into one with the desert.
Wherever the saber glare went, a deep trench that was as wide as 32 feet was formed, and it traveled to one-tenth of a mile!
With just one slash, Tiger Soul’s domineering nature was completely revealed.
After losing one leg, Dongfang Bubai had his qi deviate. A terrifying qi that caused the weather to change and the clouds to surge rushed out nonstop from his body. The entire world seemed to have been dyed red, and this could be seen clearly within a circular area of thirty-one miles.
Since the beginning, the alliance master only watched by the side quietly.
When Young Wu launched his ambush, he did not even have his eyelid twitch. It was as if everything was within his expectations.
Cao Huaian and Mo Yan’s saber and sword worked together harmoniously.
Then, when Young Wu had successfully and swiftly cut away Dongfang Bubai’s flesh, thereby severely injuring Dongfang Bubai, the alliance master had a hint of delight appear in his eyes.
He succeeded!
In truth, when he used the Supreme Technique of the World just now, he had keenly noticed that there were three people who had strong qi realms hidden under the sand.
They were Young Wu, Cao Huaian, and Mo Yan.
He had not taken any action just now because the alliance master had been concerned about them, and he was also concerned about Dongfang Bubai as well as Tiger Soul. The people in the sand were clearly waiting for the moment both of parties in the fight were injured severely. Also, Dongfang Bubai’s Sunflower Manual had allowed him to counter Tiger Soul a little, and this caused Dongfang Bubai to be able to fight against the alliance master head-on. In fact, he even had the ability to suppress him with brute strength!
If he were not confident, the alliance master would naturally not attack.
Dongfang Bubai was originally without any weakness with Tiger Soul in hand, but the alliance master had managed to find a breakthrough point through the three people hiding under the sand.
At the same time he stalled for time by trying to obtain information from Dongfang Bubai, the alliance master also quietly sent a private message to the three people under the sand and extended an invitation for them to work together.
Cao Huaian was a hero who had a strong sense of justice for everything in the world, and he was incredibly averse to Tiger Soul and Dongfang Bubai killing everything in their wake. Besides, a group of his friends had died tragically in Dongfang Bubai’s hands, so the trio formed a quick alliance with the alliance master!
Dongfang Bubai was simply unfortunate.
Since he had to split a large portion of his attention to suppress the spirit in Tiger Soul and be on guard against the alliance master, who was a powerful enemy, he never paid attention to what was happening underground.
Cao Huaian and the other two managed to achieve success with just one strike! They managed to destroy one of Dongfang Bubai’s legs!
He swung Tiger Soul, and a ruthless, bloody red tiger instantly manifested. It shot up in frenzy from the ground, and with a power that could devour the world, it pounced on the alliance master.
“DIE!”
Even though his qi had deviated, the soul-crushing pain that came from his lower body continuously stimulated Dongfang Bubai’s violent personality. At that moment, everything in front of him were his mortal enemies, and he must kill him. The one who was the first to be affected by this was naturally the man who posed as the most direct threat to him—the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance.
“So, this is how a person who has his qi deviated truly looks like.”
The alliance master’s expression changed a little when he faced the saber that came charging at him like the sun. With his keen observation, he noticed that Dongfang Bubai’s qi had become a few degrees stronger than when he was at the peak of his strength.
So, he composed himself slightly, and he stopped looking down on Dongfang Bubai as well as stopped underestimating him.
“Even if the current wielder of Tiger Soul lost a leg, he is still very difficult to deal with. I knew it, it’s difficult to tame its fierce nature. As expected of the strongest catastrophic weapon of ancient times!”
While he mumbled to himself, the alliance master suddenly started retreating. He crossed his hands before he flung them.
Whoosh!
His power in the dao of heaven exploded forth, and the sand by his sides suddenly imploded, creating two balls of astonishing sand and dust. They turned into faces with their mouths opened wide, and they charged at the blood red tiger.
Thud!
Those faces might seem terrifying, but once the blood-red tiger crashed into them, they shattered in an instant. It was as if they were as fragile as a sandcastle.
Even after the sand faces were destroyed, the blood-red tiger’s momentum did not slow down in the slightest.
However, that was not the end to the alliance master’s methods.
He flung his hands repeatedly.
As he continuously retreated, more sand imploded by his sides to form sand faces, and as the sand faces behind the ones that were destroyed devoured the sand, they became sturdier.
Boom!
As it faced the increasingly sturdier sand faces, the blood-red tiger’s momentum finally decreased. As it crashed into the sand faces time and again, the saber glare, which had substantial form, was finally weakened by a large degree.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a bewitching red figure circumnavigated the sand faces and appeared beside the alliance master like a phantom.
He caught sight of that figure through the corner of his eye, and his eyelids twitched.
‘So fast?!’
Dongfang Bubai arrived with an unimaginable speed, and as he stuck close to the alliance master, he delivered a slash.
The rows of sand faces looked as if they had lost their pillar in an instant, and they crumbled in rows. Immediately after, the wind blew at them, reducing them into piles of sand dunes.
After avoiding Dongfang Bubai’s fatal strike, a cold sheen of sweat showed up on the alliance master’s face. This was something he had not felt for a long time.
The speed and explosive strength was astonishing!
If it were not for the trump card he gained from the Supreme Technique of the World, he might be lying dead together with Tsao Suiyan right now.
His mind raced.
The alliance master already knew that the situation was bad for him.
Clearly, the current Dongfang Bubai was already so strong that his strength reached unimaginable degrees. He had been thinking about slowly whittling down his final bit of life until he died, but now, he could no longer carry out that plan.
Since the alliance master had to fight against the incredibly aggressive and brutal Dongfang Bubai, when he turned around, he delivered a sword qi that charged to the heavens and contained a magnificent amount of power.
Thud!
He managed to force Dongfang Bubai away with one slash. The alliance master did not intend to stay for even a second. He executed his lightness skill and ran. At the same time, he racked his mind, thinking about a way for him to escape from the situation.
“Die!”
Dongfang Bubai missed. When he turned around, he saw the sword qi that the alliance master sent whirling in his face. But he did not even bother blocking it. He just flung his arm and delivered another slash.
Boom!
The sword qi and sword glare crashed against each other, and both were destroyed. A loud bang that shook the heavens and earth exploded forth.
A large wave of impact instantly shot out in the violent desert. A sandstorm that spun around in its place shot up until it was 328 feet tall, and from the distance, it looked like a tornado that connected the heavens and earth.
He was affected by the tornado, so Dongfang Bubai was slightly behind the alliance master.
He chased behind him, and the tiger-shaped saber glares were like fierce creatures chasing after their prey. They charged after him fiercely, leaving behind deep trenches behind and beside the alliance master.
With distance providing cover, the alliance master was no longer in too much of a predicament, but Dongfang Bubai was too fast. In an instant, he drew closer to the alliance master!
As the distance between them gradually shortened, it became increasingly difficult for the alliance master to dodge the attacks. There were a few times where he was forced to turn around and exchange attacks with Dongfang Bubai.
Every time they clashed blows, the alliance master would feel horrible, as if there was a sea raging in his chest, and he felt so gloomy about the situation that he nearly punched his chest to express his feelings, but he was in a boundless desert, and he simply had no way to shake off Dongfang Bubai.
At that moment, the alliance master’s ears twitched. The sounds of intense fighting traveled faintly from the distance into his ears.
