“Commander Gardner, watch carefully!” Blade Lord spoke in a deep voice.
At the same time, a mighty force surged from him, showcasing the strength of a War God-Emperor in the perfection realm. The entire valley was enveloped in a palpable aura of pressure.
Following Blade Lord’s stride, his wrist continuously turned, and the Bloodshadow Fury Blade created over ten cold and sharp blade rays, each extending for hundreds of meters in the void. In no time, the figure of Blade Lord was no longer visible to the onlookers; all they could see were the blade rays, as if man and blade had merged into one entity!
“Slash!”
Blade Lord’s voice resounded from amidst the countless blade rays. Soon after, a curtain of blades descended from the sky, as if splitting the void into two separate spaces, separated by the blade.
Boom!
A deafening roar echoed through the void, and several small mounds within a kilometer were instantly flattened. Rocks and trees were all shattered into fragments. A mushroom cloud of energy rose, and a deep trench extended to a small peak a kilometer away, cutting it in half. An unparalleled oppressive aura swept through the entire void. Birds and beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests, without exception, exploded into pieces, and even the distant Blade Sect compound trembled. The scene resembled the aftermath of a heavy missile explosion, shocking to the eyes.
“Earthquake! Run!” Inside the Blade Sect compound, an outer disciple panicked and shouted.
“Run!” Many others, unaware of what was happening, responded loudly.
“Panic in such a disordered manner! It’s not an earthquake; it’s the old master exhibiting the Domineering Blade Art!” an Elder of Blade Sect walked out of his house, saying, “Look towards the direction of the back mountains.”
Hearing this, other Blade Sect Elders walked out of their houses, too.
“Grand Elder, with the current cultivation level of the old master, wouldn’t forcibly cultivating the Domineering Blade Art cause harm?” The Second Elder of Blade Sect asked with some concern.
“No problem!” The Elder responded solemnly, “Blade Lord should be passing on the Domineering Blade Art to Commander Gardner!”
“Are you suggesting that Commander Gardner can cultivate the Domineering Blade Art?” The Second Elder’s eyes lit up.
“Commander Gardner is a rare talent, a phoenix among the thousand-year-old dragons. With his martial talent, he should be able to master this technique.” The Elder nodded in response.
“That’s great!” Joy appeared on the faces of the Elders. They were well aware that if Commander Gardner cultivated the Domineering Blade Art, it would establish an unbreakable bond between him and Blade Sect.
According to Blade Sect’s tradition, Domineering Blade Art was not to be passed on to outsiders. The one who mastered the art became the guardian deity of Blade Sect. They seemed to have glimpsed the glory of Blade Sect from hundreds of years ago!
With the Domineering Blade, they were unparalleled and supreme; Ruling both heaven and earth, they exterminated demons and evil.
Boom!
At the same time, at the valley scene.
After activating the Domineering Blade Art, Blade Lord spat out a large mouthful of blood. Following that, he knelt on one knee, supporting his body with the Bloodshadow Fury Blade inserted into the ground. His aura was exceptionally chaotic. Obviously, forcefully activating the Domineering Blade Art caused backlash, and his injuries were not light.
“Blade Lord!”
“Father!”
“Grandfather!”
Billy and the others exclaimed in surprise, rushing over quickly.
“I’m fine, don’t worry!” Blade Lord slightly eased himself up from the ground, blood still oozing from his mouth.
“Blade Lord, take this pill. Let me check your condition.” Billy took out a pill from his body and handed it over.
“Thank you, Commander Gardner. My injuries are not serious; a few days of rest will be enough.” Blade Lord took the pill and swallowed it.
“Alright!” Billy roughly examined Blade Lord’s injuries. Although not light, they did not affect the vital organs. He breathed a sigh of relief.
“Tsk tsk, this Domineering Blade Art is too terrifying!” Stout and Azure Dragon both sighed in amazement.
Casey and Night Orchid also had expressions of shock on their faces. From the commotion just now, if Blade Lord had fought against a late-stage War God-Emperor in the perfection realm, one slash would probably leave nothing but dust behind. This was still because Blade Lord’s cultivation level was limited, and he couldn’t fully unleash the full power of the Domineering Blade Art. Otherwise, it would have been even more terrifying!
“Commander Gardner, in the next few days, I will impart the mental technique and techniques of the Domineering Blade Art to you.” Blade Lord adjusted his breath and looked at Billy. “When you cultivate, be sure to take it step by step. If you find it difficult to control, do not force it! I believe that once you break through to the War God-Emperor perfection realm, you will be able to handle it at will!”
“Thank you, Blade Lord!” Billy slightly bowed.
In the following ten days, Billy and his group stayed in Blade Sect to practice their blade techniques. Casey and Azure Dragon perfected their Bloodshadow Blade Technique to the complete stage, easily mastering the third move–Bloodshadow Blade, Heavens Incinerating.
Under Ronald Blade’s guidance, Night Orchid reached the peak stage of the Cold Moon Blade Technique. At the same time, her cultivation also advanced to the perfection realm of War Emperor, just a step away from the true War God-Emperor realm.
Stout, having recently broken through, spent these days consolidating his cultivation.
Ian, after ten days of non-stop cultivation, also glimpsed the dawn of reaching the complete stage of the War God-Emperor. It wouldn’t be long before he officially broke through. As for Billy, under Blade Lord’s guidance, he spent seven or eight days becoming proficient in the mental techniques and techniques of the Domineering Blade Art. In the remaining two days, he practiced alone in the back mountains. People in the main sect compound would occasionally sense tremors.
On the eleventh morning, Billy and his group bid farewell to Blade Lord’s family.
Before parting, Muriel repeatedly told Billy to bring his fellows to visit Blade Sect often. Billy readily agreed. She held Night Orchid’s hand and chatted for a long time. After these days together, she had completely accepted Night Orchid as her daughter-in-law.
After saying goodbye to Blade Lord’s family, Billy and his group arrived at Blade Town.
Ian and Night Orchid returned to the capital. After this visit to Blade Sect, the two lovebirds officially confirmed their romantic relationship, both with happiness written all over their faces. This also fulfilled one of Billy’s wishes.
Subsequently, Billy and Casey, along with Stout and Azure Dragon, bid farewell to Night Orchid and returned to Ozin. Azure Dragon went back to the Southern Region on his own.
That night, Billy returned home. Upon entering the house, he saw Sharon playing with Tasha and greeted him.
“Billy, you’re back!” Sharon looked at Billy and greeted him with a smile.
“Thanks for your hard work, Mom!” Billy responded with a smile.
He had already called Sharon before returning, so she wasn’t too surprised.
“Daddy!” At the same time, Tasha happily ran up.
“Tasha, let Daddy hug you.” Billy smiled, picking up Tasha and kissing her little face.
“Daddy, how come Mommy hasn’t come back from her business trip? I miss her.” Tasha lay on Billy’s shoulder and said loudly.
“Mommy’s work hasn’t finished yet. She’ll be back in a while. Daddy will be with you at home for the next few days, okay?” Billy smiled and said.
He had called Harleen before returning, but the call was always unreachable. Later, Billy called Adam Greenleaf to inquire.
Adam told him that Harleen and her sister had been taken away by the old master, and he didn’t know where they were taken. Billy didn’t inquire further since nothing should happen on Ether Mountain.
