The Adventures Of The Young Master

The statue's aura was very suppressive. If not for Jin Rou, the group would be kneeling now. Despite being a statue, the power it had was outrageous. For sure, if the group entered the place without Jin Rou, they would surely die.

Princess Chinu was sweating hard. She was keeping her composure though she was shaking like crazy. The statue was out of their realm. Thankfully, they made the right decision by agreeing to Jin Rou's terms.

"Old man, don't resist." Jin Rou smiled as he walked closely to the statue, "Not to mention you, even your master has to bow before me."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The statue lifted its heavy sword and swung towards Jin Rou. With the distance, Jin Rou would surely hit. The sword and its swing contained the power of realms so it was destructive. If a sword emperor was here, he wouldn't dare to challenge it head on.

But Jin Rou was different. He looked at the incoming heavy sword and stopped it using his two fingers.

The statue was surprised to witness this. His swing just now had the power to destroy realms and all, but it was stopped by mere two fingers? Remember, he was a mighty sword emperor under the banner of an eternal!

Nevertheless, he didn't let his judgment be clouded. He made consecutive heavy slashes again, but stronger than before.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Energy particles clashed and spread like wildfire. The ground shook as the heavy sword tried to reach the enemy.

"Open!" The statue didn't stop there. Since the slashes didn't work, he'd change his tactics. He then opened his sword palace and blood bottle appeared. He consumed it immediately and his aura became stronger.

"His own blood." The ancestor knew the blood bottle and said, "Since he's no longer in a flesh, he needs to store his power away. By consuming the blood, he will come back to his peak state temporarily."

The statue was already too strong despite being in a weakened state. Now that it came back to its peak state, it sure would be more horrifying.

"Futile resistance." Jin Rou sneered, "I thought that the sword eternal's strongest general will have the brains, but I guess I was wrong."

"Just die!" The statue roared. He swung his heavy sword and a brilliant sword arc appeared. It was so big and powerful, strong enough to turn this place into dust.

The ancestor could feel the immense power in this arc so he pulled his group away from the battle to avoid casualties.

Jin Rou stretched his arm and looked at the attack, "Let me show you the vast gap between our level."

"Poof!" The arc which was terrorizing towards Jin Rou disappeared all of a sudden as if it was not there to begin with. It only left huge trails along the way.

The statue was stupefied. The arc just now contained his most power and even his master wouldn't dare face it head on. What happened?

"The Young Master canceled the attack?" Princess Chinu was more stupefied than ever. Although canceling attack was not rare, it depended on the level of understanding of the user.

For example, in order to cancel an attack, the user must know what were the profundities lied within the attack. In other words, you have to understand the attack before you could cancel it. If she wasn't wrong, that attack just now was too powerful to be canceled, but it still was.

The ancestor looked at Jin Rou with complicated expressions. The mysterious fog covering Jin Rou became thicker. Fortunately, he decided right and didn't antagonize him or else their Firm Sword would really be in for a total declination.

"Who are you...?" The statue was now realizing something. His attack should be impossible to be canceled but it still happened. It just meant that this person had a deep understanding of his sword dao.

Upon careful numeration, the statue's eyes flickered and spoke in a low tone, "Your Majesty...?"

"I guess you aren't too dumb, then." Jin Rou snorted, "Your soul would have flown away if you still didn't realize who am I."

"My deepest apologies for offending you, Your Majesty..." The statue's attitude turned a full 180 degree. It knelt down in front of Jin Rou and kowtowed, "My blind eyes have gone blinder."

In all honesty, the statue didn't expect it all. It didn't personally meet Han Li in the past and only heard about his legends from his master. Furthermore, Han Li used to change appearances and aura to cover his tracks. It's understandable why he didn't manage to find it out.

"Just drop it." Jin Rou waved his hand, "But I didn't expect you to turn yourself into a statue to protect this tomb."

The general's sword dao derived simply from his master's ultimate sword dao. There were only slight differences regarding that but all in all, it appeared the same except the variations it had. One of the general's variation was an ability to turn one's skin flesh to a hard stone.

The pro of this was the lifespan would be almost infinite. The con was the user would be greatly weakened and wouldn't be able to recover the flesh. It needed an outrageous amount of braveness to use this variation.

"The master will be alone if I don't do this." The general said. There was a hint of sadness in his tone, "He had taken his battles alone and this is all I could do for him."

"But he is no longer here, just like I said." Jin Rou said, "You are just guarding his treasures, that's all."

"Do you want the treasures here, Your Majesty?" The general asked.

"Not me. The descendants of Sword Emperor Firm want it. What do you say?" Jin Rou smiled.

"Sword Emperor Firm established a lineage?" It had been too long since the general got news of the outside world. The last time he knew about Firm was he became a sword emperor by killing millions of his enemies.

Being looked at by the general, the Firm Sword group became uncomfortable. It was like they were being sized up and they couldn't anything about it.
