Chapter 15: Emperor's Weapon
In the sky, the sinister old man continued his attack on the fairy maiden but she quickly and nimbly avoided the old man's attack with help of some kind of energy.
If one noticed closely, the fairy maiden's face is pale and her hands are shivering. She was only able to contend with the origin realm expert because of the external treasures, but she won't be able to last any more if she continued in using the treasures.
Thankfully, she did not receive any injuries from the sinister old man since she was wearing body protection treasure.
Moreover, Ye Xian could see that the fairy maiden's energy is depleting quickly and her life force also diminishing at a slow rate. He could guess from the old man's words she was poisoned by something terrifying which is slowly eating away her life force.
"The sinister old man is at origin realm and he should be stronger in every single way like attack, defense, and skills. It's not his full power, he should have concealed his true strength, possibly waiting for a right opportunity to strike or he's simply trying to stall the time by exhausting the girl's energy so that she would die by the poison."
"Both the options are possible. But the fairy maiden seems to have many life protection treasures so the old man will go for the second option. If it goes like this, the beautiful girl will undoubtedly die."
Ye Xian pondered for sometime and he suddenly had a terrifying possibility: 'Maybe the sinister old man already detected my presence and he was simply acting like he didn't detect me so that he can finish me off after he kills the fairy maiden.'
'No...No. That old man is some distance away from me and he's also fighting the beautiful girl with his full strength. With his strength at Initial stage of the Origin realm...' Ye Xian's thought's abruptly stopped.
'Shit...That old man is cunning and sinister, from the start he didn't display his full strength. He may have already reached Middle or even late stage of the origin realm. I shouldn't have judged the strength of the old man with his aura alone!'
'I was careless...if my conjecture is true, he already detected my presence.' When he thought of this possibility, his body shivered and a layer of cold sweat formed in his head.
Ye Xian was now truly afraid and his mind spun in great speed, He knows even if he tries to escape, it will only alert the old man. Why he hasn't died till now is because the old man is confident in dealing with him and he was considered as an ant in his eyes.
For an origin realm expert like the sinister old man, the mortal realm practitioners are considered as weaker than ants who he can kill with just a thought.
'Once he deals with the beautiful girl, I will be next!!
"If I want to escape from the old man. My only choice is to help the beautiful girl and get rid of that old man before he kills her. But what can I do?... Maybe she doesn't know about the old man's true strength; if I inform her she may even kill him but does she have a strength to kill an Origin realm powerhouse?"
"I don't have a choice. I can only believe she has some attack type treasure capable of killing the old man." Considering various options, he decided to help the beautiful girl. Ye Xian franticly searched through the saint Redwood's memories and finally found a solution.
The solution is the Spirit Transmission. Even though spirit transmission is only capable by persons who opened his spirit sea, he doesn't have any other options right now.
The spirit transmission is not considered a technique, its simply another way of communication. Using one's spirit energy, they can convey their thoughts to other person's mind.
But Spirit transmission of nearly 1km is nearly impossible to achieve. If there's any mishap he will hurt himself but Ye Xian has no other choice.
With the help of Saint Redwood's memories and experience, he can barely send a spirit transmission. Its actually simple, one has to just concentrate their spirit energy into a thin line and sent it towards the person they want to hear.
Once the spirit energy reaches the other person they can send the message into their minds. Even though it may look simple, its very difficult for Ye Xian.
Ye Xian concentrated his mind and used his spirit energy as the memories of saint Redwood. After repeated tries, his spirit energy finally reached the beautiful girl. Without wasting any time, he conveyed the message he prepared.
"Senior, Don't express anything in your face and I don't have any ill intentions. That old man is hiding his true strength, he may have already reached the middle or late stage of origin realm. If you have any trump cards, please use it quickly before your poison acts up. Otherwise, we both will die here."
Hearing soul transmission in her ears, the fairy maiden slightly furrowed her eyebrows. She doesn't know whether the person who sent the message is good or bad but the latter's words were like thunderclaps in her mind.
Actually, she indeed planned to deplete the old man's energy with her treasures and finish him off after that. The protective energy around her body is her family's heirloom treasure which she stole from the treasury. It was created by her families powerful ancestor and it can last for two hours.
Even though she thought something was amiss with the old man, she didn't consider the possibility that the old man is hiding his strength.
'Sigh looks like I need to use that but if father finds out about this he will surely detain me from leaving the house.' The girl weakly mumbled to herself and with a wave of her hand, a long sword appeared in her hands.
The sword looked very plain and simple in one side and with beautifully engraved markings on another side. But the sinister old man anyone could feel a boundless power and might contained within that sword.
"Boom…"
At this time, a loud sound could be heard from the sword, like a formidable power is waking up from its slumber. In a flash, a boundless power and a sword like force came out from it, capable of suffocating and annihilating anything in its path.
The pressure released by this sword is completely different from the pressure he experienced from the sinister old man; Its at least 100 times greater and stronger than the old man.
Facing the pressure, even the sinister old man's face grew nervous in fear and his legs were shivering, unable to stand straight. One could tell he was under a heavy pressure facing that sword.
"An Emperor's weapon!…Ji Yueli, how do you have an emperor's weapon?." The sinister old man yelled, his voice is frenetic and filled with fear and dread.
Feeling the ancient and majestic pressure from the sword, Ye Xian's eyes narrowed and changed into that of excited and joyful expression.
"No wonder the beautiful girl is confident in defeating this old man, she has an Emperor's weapon and that too an attack type weapon, sword." Ye Xian mumbled to himself and also happy, with the emperor's weapon his life is safe.
Of course, from Saint Redwood's memories, he knew about the various types of weapons. Like its name, emperor's weapon is the weapon used by the emperor realm expert.
After an extended period of time and continuous use, their weapon will absorb the owner comprehension like sword Emperor's weapon will absorb and would have the 'Way of the sword' aura within them.
Even if the Emperor is dead, their descendants can use the remaining aura inside the weapon but the 'Way' power can only be used for three or four times before its aura dissipates.
Without giving any warning, the beautiful girl, Ji Yueli, attacked the sinister old man by her emperor's weapon. A sword flash came out from it carrying an aura of 'Way of Sword', powerful, ancient and unstoppable.
The sinister old man is simply a child in-front of that attack. Suddenly, another boundless aura came from the old man's chest which is the same as that of the sword but its clearly weaker. Unlike the sword, it didn't attack the opponent, it simply produced a layer of brilliance and covered the old man.
"Your Young master is very generous, he even gifted you an emperor ranked shield but in front of the 'Way of the sword' its same as a piece of paper."
A "Bang" sound rang out, and the layer of brilliance covering the old man split apart and dissipated into the air. The emperors shield gifted by his young master was like Ji Yueli said a piece of paper it couldn't even withstand the single blow, under the Way of the sword attack.
"No…"
The sinister old man, inside the brilliance of shield, bellowed with panic and fear as the sword's aura pierced through his chest like a cake and it pinned him to the ground.
