Chapter 1678: Are You a Sword Man?

The bird was worried.

‘The man is so young. Does he really have such sharp eyes?’

‘Although the man is young, he tamed the two extremely fast beasts… I shouldn’t underestimate him…’

‘This is going to be tough…’

‘I am truly the world’s most valuable treasure, but… If people all know the truth, my life is going to be difficult… I am not guilty of anything, but being valuable makes me a target to everybody…’

Fang Wudi humphed and drew out his sword. – Clang! – His eyes were filled with thirst for blood. He looked calm, and said, “Ye Xiao, you have been tormenting the Limitless Ocean for quite some days with the name of the One Meter Higher Sky. Today, it is your payday! Go to hell!”

Ye Xiao was shocked. He knew people had been accusing him since he became a cultivator, but this was the first time he was accused of tormenting anybody. However, he understood immediately. He blandly smiled and took two steps back. He waved both his hands, so Hawky flew up to the sky and Erhuo suddenly disappeared.

Ye Xiao reached out one hand and there was a sword in it.

It was the Stars Sword.

As he wielded the sword, the stars started shining and became a long river in the sky.

Ye Xiao stared at the glittering sword. He didn’t look at Fang Wudi. He said, “Fang Wudi, mostly, people make trouble for themselves. Today, you asked for your own death. Do not blame anybody else for this. Do you agree?”

Ye Xiao had been improving fast since he arrived in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. However, he had always defeated his enemies by stratagem. The only fight he had participated in was the fight against Master Xiao. He didn’t really get himself involved. Nobody ever made him fight in full power yet.

There were a lot of powerful men in the Monarch’s Hall. Since Ye Xiao reached the Saint Origin Stage, he could see through the power of every Saint Origin Stage cultivator. When he had a contest with one of his men in the Monarch’s Hall, neither side would make some truly fierce attacks. Contests like that didn’t mean much for Ye Xiao. He had encountered many fights for some days traveling in the Limitless Ocean, but it always only took him a few moves to defeat the enemy. He never had a chance to enjoy the fight.

Now, Fang Wudi was here, who was much more powerful than Ye Xiao, one stage higher than Ye Xiao in the cultivation level system. Ye Xiao was on fire.

He knew Fang Wudi was much more powerful, and he knew he might lose, but he had a lot of equipment that might help him win the fight.

Most importantly, he wanted to seize the opportunity to test his true power.

He thought he could defeat all Saint Origin Stage cultivators, but that wasn’t proved in practical fights. Fang Wudi was much stronger than a Saint Origin Stage cultivator. He might not be as good as the Red Fire Lord, Chihuo, but he was at least a superior cultivator in the Immortality Stage.

He had never fought against a man at such a powerful level!

He wanted to have a fight like this!

He wanted to prove himself right. He wanted to consolidate his power of the Saint Origin Stage!

Fang Wudi could feel Ye Xiao’s enmity. He looked more serious now. As he shook his hand, the bird flew up high and disappeared.

It was not a good idea to have a pet on the shoulder in a fight. If the enemy was weak, having a pet as a company might be fine. If the enemy was powerful, it was better to keep the pet away.

Fang Wudi thought that Ye Xiao had let the two beasts leave to keep the pets safe…

However, he was wrong. Ye Xiao let the two little things go, not because he wanted them to be safe. When Erhuo and Hawky disappeared, people should be more frightened by them!

“This is the Stars Sword!” Ye Xiao’s sword was shining cold lights. He calmly introduced, “It is made of the irons from the cosmos, heart of the stars, soul of the cold sea, and the colorful fire of the East Mountain. It took seventeen years to forge this masterpiece. It is about eight kilograms. It is sharp and unbreakable! It cuts gold and jade, shaves steels!”

Fang Wudi seemed to be shocked.

This was a fight about life and death. Normally, the less the enemy knew about oneself, the better. Ye Xiao actually told the enemy everything about his weapon. That was rare and surprising. Fang Wudi was shocked.

Ye Xiao was being honest, and Fang Wudi reckoned it would be a shame not to do the same.

“Are you a swordsman?” Fang Wudi looked a little worried.

“Yes!” Ye Xiao was calm. He was looking at Fang Wudi’s sword.

Fang Wudi took a deep breath and raised up his sword. “It doesn’t have a name. It is made of the iron of stars, steel of the earth, the essence of the three mountains, steel of the colorful clouds, and some other materials. It took six years to finish this sword. When it was finished, the light shined up the entire East Mountain. It is about four kilograms. It breaks everything. What a divine weapon from upon the heavens!”

“A divine weapon from upon the heavens? That must be a great sword!” Ye Xiao praised the sword.

The best sword was the most suitable sword. Weapons are at different levels according to their materials, forge techniques, and other factors. They could roughly be classified as failure, normal-grade, medial-grade, superior-grade, transcendent-grade, untrammeled-grade, and dream-untrammeled-grade.

Ninety percent of the weapons in the world were in the failure class, such as the weapons in the markets. These weapons were made of some normal steel. Normal-grade weapons were always made of some essence of the normal materials, which weren’t so terrible. Weapons above medial-grade were all made of some rare materials, which were known as divine weapons.

Bu Xiangfeng’s sword, the Farewell Sword, was Medial-grade, which was also one of the weakest divine weapons. However, it was already extremely rare and valuable.

The new Farewell Sword, which was reforged by Ye Xiao, had become superior-grade. It was now one of the best superior-grade weapons. In fact, the weapons of the people in the Monarch’s Hall, which were reforged by Ye Xiao, were mostly superior-grade.

Fang Wudi’s nameless sword was also a superior-grade weapon. It was even better than the new Farewell Sword, the best of the superior-grade divine weapons. If Fang Wudi wasn’t such a powerful cultivator, he wouldn’t have such a wonderful sword!

Having a good sword represented the power of the cultivator. It was such a great enhancement!

“Your sword is not bad.” Fang Wudi blandly said.

Fang Wudi was an experienced cultivator. He didn’t really know Ye Xiao’s sword, but from the glittering lights, he knew that sword must be extraordinary. He was even greedier when he thought of taking over the sword after defeating Ye Xiao.
