Chapter 495: Chapter 495: The Three Blade Masters
Chu Ming left Hu Ye City and quickly headed west. One of the entrances to the Green Blood Secret Realm in the Central Divine Domain was the Blood Wolf Mountain Range, a thousand miles away.
What he did not know was that half an hour after he left Hu Ye City, Luo Lin had already sent a message to his elder brother, Luo Donghai, informing him of everything that had happened in Hu Ye City.
"Big brother is just in the Blood Wolf Mountain Range. I hope that kid will pass through the Blood Wolf Mountain Range to enter the Green Blood Secret Realm."
Outside the city, Luo Lin stuffed a few healing elixirs into his mouth, a cold smile appearing at the corners of his lips.
His elder brother Luo Donghai was a prominent figure in Blood Cloud Palace, even in the entire Central Divine Domain. He was one of the top three young blade masters. Although Luo Lin’s sword technique was not weak, compared to Luo Donghai, it was like comparing a small trick to a grand master. Luo Donghai had once killed an invincible Guiyuan Realm expert within a hundred moves, earning a prestigious reputation throughout the Central Divine Domain.
Swish!
Not daring to linger in Hu Ye City, Luo Lin feared that Zuo Yunfei would take advantage of his injury, so he turned and flew south of Hu Ye City.
Whirr! Whirr! Whirr!
A sharp wind continuously blew across Chu Ming’s cheeks, the scenery on both sides turning into a blur as his speed reached its peak.
An hour later, he arrived at the Blood Wolf Mountain Range.
Though the Blood Wolf Mountain Range was not large, the flow of people was extremely terrifying. Upon arriving here, Chu Ming’s vigilance heightened to the maximum, his spiritual sense sweeping the surroundings like a tide at all times.
The Green Blood Secret Realm allowed Guiyuan Realm martial artists to enter, but Blood Jade was extremely rare. Generally speaking, many Guiyuan Realm martial artists would specifically guard the entrance to the Green Blood Secret Realm, ready to kill any martial artist possessing Blood Jade at any moment, robbing and murdering them.
"Boss, it seems like a young man is about to enter the Green Blood Secret Realm."
In the forest, a dozen or so black-clad martial artists, their gazes sharp, scanned the passing martial artists. This was the only way to enter the Green Blood Secret Realm, and typically, few people passed through here. After all, who would come here without Blood Jade? Not only would they gain nothing, but they would also invite trouble, possibly even losing their lives.
"Better to kill the wrong one than let one go. Let’s move!"
The black-clad leader’s face darkened, full of murderous intent. After a brief hesitation, he prepared to lead his men to capture Chu Ming.
"Big brother, wait a moment, look!"
At this moment, the black-clad person on his left suddenly stopped the leader, hinting slightly with his eyes. The others followed his gaze and saw a blood-clad figure rushing out of the forest.
"Is that... Luo Donghai?"
The black-clad leader’s face changed slightly. Although Luo Donghai was young, his reputation was formidable. He was an invincible Guiyuan Realm martial artist, but he considered himself no match for Luo Donghai.
What puzzled him, though, was that someone like Luo Donghai must have more than one Blood Jade. Usually, he wouldn’t care for the Blood Jade in others’ hands.
"We’ll wait and see!"
The black-clad leader said in a deep voice, stopping the others.
...
Chu Ming was about to enter the Blood Wolf Mountain Range. He had even noticed a dozen or so black-clad people hiding in the forest, but his attention was drawn to a blood-colored figure not far away. From the figure, he sensed a sharp aura, as if sword light flickered, weaving through the sky.
His intuition told him that this blood-colored figure was coming for him, with ill intentions.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Chu Ming squinted his eyes. His flying figure stopped abruptly, a strong wind passing under his feet, stirring up clouds of dust.
"You injured a disciple of Blood Cloud Palace and stole Luo Lin’s Blood Jade?"
The blood-colored figure was a clean-faced blood-clad youth, carrying a blood-red long saber. His blood qi was intense, and his eyes, though closed, flickered with sword light.
"Are you from Blood Cloud Palace?"
Chu Ming’s expression changed, and he immediately realized. Luo Donghai was stronger than any young talent he had encountered, but even if he couldn’t win, escaping would be easy.
"That’s right. Hand over the Blood Jade, abolish your cultivation, and break your limbs. I might spare your life."
Luo Donghai’s face was indifferent, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
For him, he indeed had the qualification to say this.
"Enough with the nonsense, let’s fight!"
Chu Ming shook his head. A flash of light in his right hand, and the Star Trace Sword instantly appeared. With a hiss, a continuous stream of sparks flickered as the Star Trace Sword unsheathed.
"Remember, the one who kills you is Luo Donghai!"
Luo Donghai’s face was as cold as ice. He swiftly drew the blood-red long saber from his back, and a hundred-meter-long blood-red glow flashed from the sky. An astonishing sword intent soared into the sky, enveloping Chu Ming.
Swish!
Chu Ming showed no fear. His right foot stamped the ground fiercely, turning into a streak of sword light, soaring into the sky. His right hand held the Star Trace Sword in a reverse grip, slashing upward, like lightning splitting the sky. The entire sky fell silent instantly.
Plop, plop, plop...
The sword light and saber light both dissipated. A terrifying shockwave blasted out in all directions from their collision point, creating a hundred-meter-wide crater. Many martial artists hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to rob and kill, emerged with surprised faces, looking up at the two figures in the sky.
"That person just now seemed to be Luo Donghai from Blood Cloud Palace!"
"Could it be Luo Donghai, one of the top three young blade masters?"
"Who else could it be?"
The surrounding martial artists were shocked, their eyes fixed on the two figures in the sky, fearing to miss any detail.
"Hmph, that white-clad young man is truly courting death, daring to oppose Luo Donghai. Today, he will surely die a violent death."
A yellow-robed man, full of malice, stood at a corner, a cold smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he looked at Chu Ming’s figure in the sky.
Boom!
Crack!
Luo Donghai held the saber in his right hand, with a swirl of evil qi around him. Ordinary martial artists would likely lack even the courage to confront him. With a single slash, the whole sky brightened instantly, temporarily blinding everyone’s eyes.
The sword intent that Luo Donghai comprehended was Slaughter Blade Intent, and it had reached an astonishing Tier Six. Every sword glow he unleashed brimmed with slaughter qi, giving people a feeling of being deeply engulfed.
Plop...
A sword glow broke through Chu Ming’s sword light, landing on his body. Although the power rules under his skin weakened ninety percent of its strength, the remaining ten percent still left a bloody mark on his body.
Seeing the blood mark on Chu Ming’s skin, a trace of seriousness flashed in Luo Donghai’s eyes. He hadn’t expected that Chu Ming was not only proficient in swordsmanship but also a body-refining martial artist.
Clang, clang, clang...
Countless sparks erupted from the collision of their swords and sabers, filling the entire sky with sword and saber shadows.
"Red Lotus Rain!"
Chu Ming’s body suddenly retreated, black hair flying, eyes sharp. He gripped his sword with both hands, muscles bulging in his arms, and with a fierce slash, a domineering red light broke through the sky.
