I Am Supreme

Chapter 327: This Is a Misunderstanding!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lei Dongtian had made up his mind.

After rescuing the two ladies, he could then plan his following actions at leisure; it was that, or he could just utilize the power of his family to make them come forward to Tianxuan Continent and uproot the Four Seasons Tower once and for all!

On the other hand, Old Mu had also concealed himself in the darkness. He deliberately paid attention to the vague mark in the sky which could be seen dashing forward at a break-neck speed.

The wind current had engulfed Tiantang City in entirety. It could be seen converging and diverging in the air, churning constantly in all of nature's fury.

As the seconds ticked past, Lei Dongtian and Old Mu grew increasingly anxious.

Even though half the time had passed, their prey still refused to let his guard down. Supreme Wind was simply too cunning and cautious to make such a mistake.

To have sustained such a prolonged flight, Supreme Wind must have decided that he would rather exhaust his own cultivation base than to stop.

He probably knew that his position would be revealed the moment he stopped, and the macabre game of cat and mouse would begin!

Upon realizing that his current plan would leave him at a disadvantage the moment his prey chose to execute another fancy trick, Lei Dongtian decided to pull out his sword to attack!

With a dazzling display of swordsmanship, the sword flew upwards. Instantly, the profound sword current shattered the fuzzy shadow that was hovering in the sky.

Hot on his trail, Old Mu executed the very same manoeuvre.

Swoop, swoop, swoop.

The swords danced in the air, the rays of the sun reflected on their brilliant sheens.

Both of them were peak-leveled masters within the Tianxuan Continent. When the people saw the raw power that was being unleashed, the whole of Tiantang City fell into an awed silence.

Since when had two top experts arrived in Tiantang City?

It was a battle of sword energies in the sky, a hundred feet above the ground ...

It was an amazing spectacle, a fantastic battle that existed only in the most fevered of imaginations.

Both Venerable Lord Saber and the man in white, Venerable Lord Snow, were alarmed even when considering their vaunted cultivation bases. Both of them had been standing on the roof, looking at the intertwining swords in the sky and shared the same feeling of apprehension.

"Experts! Peak-levelled masters!" exclaimed Venerable Lord Snow as he sucked in a cold breath.

Venerable Lord Saber's face was pale white, "Second brother, how confident are you if you were to face them?"

Venerable Lord Snow chuckled wryly, "I am entirely confident that I would be able to escape."

Venerable Lord Saber's face gave a slight twitch; confident you can escape? Does that mean that you aren't able to fight him face-to-face?

Venerable Lord Saber did not dare ask this aloud.

He just prayed in his heart that these two people were not the enemies of the Four Seasons Tower!

If they were, and they were to face each other, he knew that he was doomed. It didn't matter if second brother was able to escape with his life, there was no chance for him at all.

"Who are they fighting with? This seems like a rather unprecedented battle." The longer Venerable Lord Saber observed the scene, the more frightened he was.

"There has always been a large number of masters in this world. Just because you do not know of them does not mean that they don't exist." Venerable Lord Snow sighed.

"Are they fighting with Supreme Wind?" Venerable Lord Saber was struck by a sudden whim.

With a sarcastic look, Venerable Lord Snow stared at his own fifth younger brother. Faintly he uttered, "Ol'fifth, you are thinking too much. If Supreme Wind possessed such a strength to fight against these two, his cultivation base would be no lower than that of Ling Xiaozui…he would have long killed the master of the Four Seasons Tower!"

Venerable Lord Saber was embarrassed.

"It would be better if you focused on observing the fight, look at it carefully. Apparently, the man who is fighting against the two is not utilizing his full effort. Instead, he has converted his body into a flicker of light. Such a mystical art is... unheard of."

The white-robed Venerable Lord Snow sighed, "Unfortunately, we aren't able to take a closer look at a battle between such great warriors. It would have been of great benefit to us."

Venerable Lord Saber truly agreed.

The white-robed Venerable Lord Snow frowned, racking his brain for the answer; where had these saints come from? How could they possess such earth-shattering power? To be able to possess such an ability was peculiar enough. What was even more unusual was that, as far as he was able to recall, there was no such kind of pinnacle strength among the strongest in Tianxuan.

This was odd indeed!

Were there other pinnacle experts in the martial world out there that he did not know of?

A roar resounded in the sky, causing the entire Tiantang City to tremble slightly.

Instantly, the mass of light completely fragmented, raining down onto the ground.

The other two streaks of light refused to let go, tracking the falling mass closely and chasing it rapidly like two dragons shaking their tails and heads, roaring as the hurtled downwards! It was a terribly harrowing pursuit, as the pursuers traversed the sky at impossible speeds.

The eye could only catch hints of their passing; they were gone even before one could see them.

Suddenly, the mass of light disappeared completely, vanishing without a trace, leaving nothing but an impatient voice filled with panic, "Sir Venerable Lord Saber…"

Just before Venerable Lord Saber and his companion were able to respond, a surging wind swept over their heads, and then they saw an incredible sight.

Two acute gleams of sword light were advancing steadily in their direction, without the slightest bit of hesitation.

Of course, Lei Dongtian and his servant did not remain stagnant as both of them had clearly heard the phrase, "Sir Venerable Lord Saber…"

They were suddenly reminded of the experts of pinnacle level from the Four Seasons Tower as mentioned by Yun Yang before this - Saber, Sword, Snow, Frost, and Ice!

How could they not know that one of the two men before them must be the Venerable Lord Saber of the Four Seasons Tower!

Both of them experienced an impulsive need to cry out in joy.

They had exhausted themselves searching high and low all this while. After much patience and perseverance, they had finally found their base camp!

At the very least, they had found someone they could face in a fight!

It had not been easy.

Lei Dongtian was complacent. If it had not been for his idea to cause consecutive injuries to Supreme Wind by using the sword energy, his prey would have escaped.

He would then be the foolish and arrogant man who let his prey get away!

It was fortunate that he managed to force him to give up!

Venerable Lord Saber instinctively exclaimed, "Who is it?"

In the face of an angered, dragon-like, extended sword, Venerable Lord Saber and even Venerable Lord Snow was merely able to defend themselves against it by throwing up their powers hastily.

The other showed no sign of halting. It would have been a waste to die before knowing the reason that he had been killed. At the very least, one had to deal with the enemy directly!

Venerable Lord Saber extended his saber with a roar.

With a wave of Venerable Lord Snow's hand, a ball of gleaming, silver snow instantaneously filled up space in front of him. Venerable Lord Snow retreated while shouting, "Who is this friend that is coming? There must be a misunderstanding! Please keep your cool, and we shall explain ourselves!"

Hit by a sudden, piercing cold, Lei Dongtian felt his whole body freezing up; the consumption of energy by Old Mu and himself had been too much!

Giving chase thousands of feet in the air with their swords and attacking hundreds of consecutive, slaughtering blades was an ultimate, genuine consumption of energy.

His entire cultivation base had been exhausted, almost like a light which had depleted its oil; By this time, Lei Dongtian had his wishes come true. He took out a few medicinal pills and threw them into his mouth, drumming his cheeks, trying hard to swallow them all. At this point, he did not even have the time to maintain his image what more to speak.

The same situation was experienced by Old Mu. His cultivation was only slightly higher than that of his young lord. Moreover, the effect of Old Mu's cultivation method was certainly inferior to that of Lei Dongtian. Lei Dongtian had been facing difficulty to withstand it, of course, the same would have happened to Old Mu.

However, Old Mu's situation was worse, as he had given up his storage ring to Yun Yang. By that time, he could be seen hurriedly digging the medicinal pills from among his possessions. However, just before he was able to do so, Venerable Lord Saber's countering saber could be seen coming right at him.

The sword current arrived in an imposing manner, determined to take their lives!

Old Mu was extremely furious. Holding the sword single-handedly, he spared no effort, hacking away at the threat that loomed large before him.

Old Mu was almost apoplectic with anger. By gathering all of the remaining spiritual Qi within him, a black flame reignited over the tip of the sword with a radiance that lingered on.

Clang!

With a cry of pain, Venerable Lord Saber had spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His body fell like a ball rolling outwards.

It was on the roof of the Tower To Heaven Inn. Venerable Lord Saber had rolled down to the outer edge of the roof. With a loud crash, his head struck the low protective wall. Feeling dizzy and faint, his entire body then bounced back.

A large portion of the protective wall broke off, tumbling down to the ground. It collided with the building all the way downwards, without knowing what it had hit.

A shocked and furious voice with an unquenchable fury could be heard screaming curses. Without knowing which floor the voice came from, it still sounded rather harsh,"What the f*ck! Which m*therf*cker... what kind of bastard is seeking for death..."

At that moment, Lei Dongtian, who was able to catch his breath, had once again extended his sword like lightning, engaging Venerable Lord Snow once again.

Venerable Lord Saber had been slashed by Old Mu, rolling on the ground like a gourd. When he finally stood up, it was with great difficulty. He felt as if stars were lingering and dangling before his eyes. He could see seventeen or eighteen individuals fighting against each other, with halos above everyone's head…

He then forcefully shook his head, trying to recover his bearings.

His head cleared just in time to witness a man clad in black rushing at him.

Venerable Lord Saber grunted. Not caring that he had not fully recovered, he then jumped high and disappeared entirely with a loud clap. Instantly, a sharp, bold saber appeared flagrantly in the air, fiercely hacking at the man that was charging towards him.

Although Old Mu had managed to swallow the medicinal pills, the interval was too short to recover even a mouthful of basic Qi. He was now being in an awkward situation where his previous energy had been exhausted while his new energy had yet to arise. For a time, he could only dodge the imposing saber which was repeatedly slashing at him, feeling as if the rage within him had exploded within his lungs!

Considering the level of his cultivation base, how could he be forced to a halt by an ant-like figure like this?

It was a mark of shame that could never be washed off, perhaps for eternity!

The gleam of Lei Dongtian's sword blinded the eye as each and every strike tried to reach Venerable Lord Snow. The medicinal pills had begun to show its effect within his dantian, causing him to slowly regain his basic Qi. Reverting to a superior position, his attacks took on the force of crashing waves.

Venerable Lord Snow could be seen waving his Snowflake Edge, trying to parry the attacks. He instinctively thought that this matter was just a misunderstanding. Considering the strength of his opponent, if he had had really offended the other, the aftermath was bound to be deadly.

Therefore, even when he noticed that Lei Dongtian was exhausted and was trying hard to sustain his charge, Lord Snow did not take the opportunity to attack. By then, he had limited himself to a defensive stance while he shouted out loud, "Misunderstanding! Respectable one, this is really a misunderstanding!"

"We are not enemies!"

"This is a misunderstanding! We have been framed!"

"We were just looking at the scenery!"

"It's a misunderstanding!"
