Chương 117: Chapter 116
This wasn't the first time Xiu Ye wondered, why does things don't go according to plan? Although he hadn't underestimated Yu Tiansheng, he was a freaking Soul Sage Ghoul with Battle Armor after all; a powerful undead with an equally powerful healing factor that won't let him die, short of total disintegration, and has the ability that can rival a Titled Douluo's combat prowess. Still, he was surprised as to how powerful the Ghoul Sage was.
Was it because of arrogance? Overconfidence? Was he now full of himself that he thought a Soul Sage was nothing to him? That, just because he had a previous life before his earth life that may or may not be his life as a god that he thought that he had became invincible? No. No it wasn't that. If he did, he would either just storm the hotel without any backup with a powerful weapon or destroy everything in it with a rank A Noble Phantasm altered into an arrow.
Both options he didn't do, because he didn't have enough soul power and stamina to conjure such a powerful weapon while fighting off any hidden enemies.
He had surveyed the entire hotel before from the outside with Structural Analysis and found a few powerful soul masters in it that equaled the same power radiating from Na Nali when he met her.
Honestly, he wouldn't have the confidence to storm this building if it weren't for the peak Soul Sages with a couple of them having a Third-word Battle Armor from Tang Sect that was currently battling against them in the outside, having forcibly sending them out of the building.
Although the cultivation difference between them was by one whole realm, the Soul Sages were agents of Tang Sect and their top most members. They had the most experience in dealing against both opponents with a higher cultivation base and evil soul masters.
They could deal with Na Nali as well but they couldn't find her in the building for some reason, nor the core of the Blood Suppression Formation. It was why they took the effort of clearing each floor thoroughly.
Though back to his current situation.
If Xiu Ye really thought more about it, about the Ghoul Sage, it was because...
The guy was like a fucking idiot. Seriously, who calls themselves Great Dragon Ghoul Sage? He was acting like a B-rated cliché anime/movie villain, who just doesn't make much sense in the large scheme of things in most plots, and that impression he gave made him lower his guard a bit.
Nonetheless. Since his plan had gone off the rails now, it was time to finish this off and move on to find Na Nali and end this whole undead arc so he could finally start his company and go to Shrek.
Xiu Ye rose from his kneeling position, the purple thunderbolt just several inches away from striking him, he moved both of his hands to the side like one was holding a sword, blue light sparked in his hands, using reinforcement, he used Flash Step–dodging the thunderbolt and appeared right in front of Yu Tiansheng with a sword in hand.
It was a two-handed, golden greatsword, with the shape and design almost resembling that of a cross; with a blue jewel embedded in the hilt that boasts a magnificence and enormity that makes it seem as if it was created by inhuman hands.
Its name was, Balmung–the Noble Phantasm of the great hero Siegfried. It is the holy sword of the Nibelungs, used to slay the evil dragon, Fafnir. It is a cursed holy blade possessing the attributes of Gram, the demonic blade of its origin, so it will change attributes between holy sword and demonic sword depending on who wields it. Having accomplished the feat of dragon slaying, those with the blood of dragons will take additional damage from it.
Although Yu Tiansheng didn't have the blood of a dragon, his soul is part dragon: it being his martial soul and all. Also, the sword's attribute was fortunately holy in Xiu Ye's hands so it would do even more considerable damage to the ghoul.
Though Balmung is classified as a rank A Noble Phantasm, one that would consume most of his soul power, Xiu Ye made sure to lower it to rank B by altering some of its structure–making it imperfect.
But it was enough.
So Xiu Ye wasn't surprise to see that the large blade of Balmung easily sliced through the soul power barrier covering Yu Tiansheng's body, durable enough to withstand the attack of most soul masters below Soul Emperor level, and bisected his body diagonally in half.
"Huh? Y-You...how?!" Even with half of his body separated, with only the entire neck to head and his left arm intact and landed onto the throne, Yu Tiansheng was still alive.
Though, he no longer have that previous indifference and arrogance of his. Instead he was showing an expression of absolute shock on his face as he stared at Xiu Ye.
"Oh, you know, I cut you. Simple as that." He replied nonchalantly with a shrug of his shoulders and lowered Balmung but was ready to the defeated undead if he tried to attack him.
Yu Tiansheng's face distorted from shock to anger in an instant, "Bullshit! How! I want to know how you managed cut my body so easily! With my ghoul physiology, soul power cultivation and martial soul, my body would be as strong and durable as a peak Soul Douluo! It should be impossible for a Soul Ancestor to easily cut me like that!"
"In fact, what the hell is that sword?! I had thought you only had two martial souls, one that attunes to ultimate fire while the other is to space! Do you have a triple martial soul like the Spirit Ice Douluo...? No. That should be impossible. For thousands of years, in the entire human history, there has been no further records of someone possessing a third martial soul except His Excellency Huo Yuhao."
"Don't even dare try to lie about it being a weapon you created as well! Yeah, don't try to deny it, I know that you're a talented blacksmith. That presence, it radiates a holy radiance that I've only felt almost equal to the radiance of the Holy Spirit Douluo, and that terrifying feeling that makes the side of my dragonic soul shiver....what the fuck are you?"
"...." Xiu Ye merely stared at him for a moment before stabbing the tip of Balmung's blade into the Ghoul Sage's heart and embedded into the throne.
"Y-You-!"
"You talk too much." He said, channeling his soul power into the sword, he released a wave of blinding blue light that covered the entire undead's body–killing him.
"No! I can't accept this! I refuse to! This defeat, this humiliation! I didn't even–!" That was the last thing he said, before he completely disintegrated into ashes by the heat of Balmung's 'purification'.
Xiu Ye took out the sword of the throne and wave Balmung at the other half of Yu Tiansheng's body and fired off a blue, super heated, light beam arc that completely disintegrated it.
He didn't want to take any chances, as knowing his luck; it would one day come bite him in the ass. So he'll try to tie up any loose ends.
What? Did you expect some epic boss fight? Hell no. Xiu Ye might like a good fight but even he wasn't that dumb to disregard everything for a fight. An entire city was at stake here.
"Agents, have you spotted anything at the rooftop? Specifically Na Nali or a powerful item that may be the core of the Blood Suppression Formation?" Touching his soul earpiece, Xiu Ye communicated with the agents outside of the hotel and were surveying the hotel.
"Special agent Xiu Ye, there are currently no new changes around the rooftop or the couple floors below it. Black no. 1 had momentarily disengaged with his opponent and inspect the upper areas of the hotel, but he had found no signs of either target." An agent responded.
Xiu Ye clicked his tongue and narrowed his eyes. 'Then, where in the hell is she? I'm guessing that the core might be together with her as well so I might be able to solve this all together, killing two birds with one stone. But the problem here is, her location. I can't scan the building with my spiritual power as the dampers are still installed, destroying them might take time as well as they are well hidden, so the only option left is to continue searching for her manually.'
'But she isn't in the upper floors and the roof, I'm also pretty sure that we thoroughly searched the whole lower and middle floors, so where...' Xiu Ye was in deep thought as he walked towards the stairs, not noticing the blood that was splashed on the ground begining to move.
