Chapter 171 The Gold Path of Deceit

At the entrance of the Underground Darkness City.

Xue’er sat quietly on a large rock and waited. Suddenly, she saw two figures flying over from afar and immediately stood up with vigilance. When she saw the face of the man with a sword on his back, Xue’er was slightly stunned. “Lord Sword Saint!”

Xue’er could not help but shout out. As a Sword Saint who often lived in the human world, his reputation was very well-known. His portrait naturally spread to all the base cities.

Xue’er had also seen the portrait of the Sword Saint before. Once she saw the Sword Saint, Xue’er naturally recognized him at a glance.

This was especially so for his signature three-foot-long sword. He was dressed in white and exuded a tyrannical aura.

These characteristics were all proof of his identity.

“You’re called Xue’er, right? This is the blind granny, the number one expert in the human race.” The Sword Saint stopped in his flight and swept his sharp eyes over Xue’er.

“Xue’er, wait here for us to come out. I have something to tell you later.”

The blind granny was in a hurry to enter the Underground Darkness City. She only left a few words before leading the Sword Saint into the Underground Darkness City in a hurry.

In the Underground Darkness City…

The blind granny and the Sword Saint’s figures flashed past and entered the first level of the Underground Darkness City. They narrowed their eyes and looked around.

“What a dense black fog. This black fog is at least ten times thicker than before!” the blind granny said solemnly.

“Indeed. What exactly happened here? Such a dense black fog will probably create an even more terrifying Pollution Giant.”

The Sword Saint drew his three-foot-long sword. The white robe on his body fluttered even though there was no wind, and a bleak and murderous aura rippled in all directions.

“This way. Li Xuan took the left path.”

The blind granny pointed her right hand in the air, and a golden arrow pointed to the left.

“Good!”

The two moved again, slowly walking along the path on the left. However, after walking for a short distance, they stopped.

It was because, in front of them, a savage-looking Pollution Giant roared into the sky. Its face was full of pain and distortion. It even died standing there with its blood-red eyes open.

The reason it did not fall was because dozens of earth spikes rose from the ground like thick steel needles, piercing into the fragile parts of the Pollution Giant and into its chest.

Some of the sharp earth spikes even pierced through the head of the Pollution Giant, causing it to die in pain. It could not even fall down, and could only lose its life in pain.

“What powerful earth spikes! It killed the Pollution Giant in one strike. This attack method is impossible to guard against,” the blind granny carefully examined the earth spikes and explained solemnly.

“Killed in one strike? Although the Pollution Giant isn’t very strong, its recovery ability is extremely strong. To be able to kill the Pollution Giant in one strike, Li Xuan’s attack is indeed powerful.”

The Sword Saint walked closer to the corpse and examined it. He found that the giant had indeed been killed in one strike. This made the proud Sword Saint feel the power of Li Xuan.

“What happened? Were you shocked by Li Xuan’s attack?” the blind granny looked at the sword saint.

“No, my cultivation hasn’t stagnated over the years. Instead, my fighting strength has become stronger. I’ve even comprehended three ultimate moves…”

“As long as I use my ultimate move, I’ll be able to unleash the maximum offensive power of the Silver Rank. If I were to fight with Li Xuan, he might lose to my sword if he were to be distracted for even a moment,” the Sword Saint said with a straight face.

“Yes, your ultimate move does have some tricks up its sleeves. However, overall, Li Xuan’s fighting strength is still higher than yours. You still need to work hard,” the blind granny shook her head.

“I know!” The Sword Saint clenched his long sword tightly. Although he did not want to admit it, Li Xuan’s overall strength was indeed higher than his.

If he wanted to win against Li Xuan, he could only use his three ultimate moves when Li Xuan was distracted.

However, the probability of this was very small. The Sword Saint felt very helpless and could not help but feel depressed.

The depressed Sword Saint thought of the ultimate move that he had thought of and began to comprehend in his mind how to combine the three ultimate moves.

As long as the three ultimate moves were combined, he would be able to display an extremely powerful ultimate move. At that time, he would definitely be able to defeat Li Xuan.

“Let’s go and continue moving forward. I want to see just how capable this Li Xuan is.”

The blind granny’s voice was hoarse. However, as she walked, golden light flashed around her body. An extremely shocking power spread around her body, causing her to become exceptionally terrifying. Such power also made the Sword Saint very fearful. He could not help but say, “Your ability is too high-level. This power should not have appeared in this world at all…”

“Although Li Xuan was summoned here, there is no way for a Gold Rank to appear in our world. Therefore, Li Xuan should be at the Silver Rank Peak. Although he is stronger than me, he should not be able to hold on for long under your high-level power.” “Yes. If Li Xuan is at the Silver Rank Peak, his strength should be comparable to mine in the past. However, the ability I have comprehended now is the Gold Path of Deceit. This ability is very strange…”

“Unless your defense is extremely strong, you won’t be able to block my attack at all. Therefore, even if you cooperate with Li Xuan, you will only be able to hold on for half an hour at most,” the blind granny said calmly.

“Yes, this kind of strange ability is hard to guard against. It is indeed difficult to deal with.” The Sword Saint shook his head helplessly. Facing the blind granny, the Sword Saint was even more fearful.

Back then, the blind granny’s strength was at the Silver Rank Peak, and she was the number one expert among humans. Later, her eyes were destroyed by a golden energy, and that golden energy was also left in blind granny’s eyes.

Through this golden energy, the blind granny comprehended a new ability. This ability was very powerful, as if it was a power that surpassed this world’s level.

There was no way to dodge this power. It was a little like the Sword Saint’s Heartbreak Sword, which directly acted on the human body. Unless one’s defense was extremely strong, there was no way to deal with it. This was also the reason why the Sword Saint could not defeat the blind granny.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dull footsteps suddenly sounded. The sound was very hurried and messy, as if someone was running in a hurry.

“It’s a Low-Level Silver Rank Pollution Giant. However, this is clearly the first level. Why would a Silver Rank appear here? Shouldn’t Silver Ranks appear on the sixth level?” The blind granny was puzzled.

“It should be caused by the thicker black fog. I’ll take care of it.”

The sword saint’s figure floated into the air. His white robe fluttered even though there was no wind. His figure flew out like a celestial being. The three-foot-long sword in his hand drew a beautiful white arc in the air.

Swoosh!

The long sword shone with white light. The beautiful Sword Qi stirred up the surrounding black fog and flew out like a cold light.

Behind the Black Fog, a Silver Rank Pollution Giant with a terrified expression ran wildly while looking back in panic. It did not realize that the Sword Qi was coming.

Puff!

The Sword Qi suddenly hit the heart of the Pollution Giant. Dark red blood dripped down from the heart and dyed the giant’s body red, causing the giant to stop in its tracks.

The Pollution Giant lowered its head mechanically and looked at the bleeding heart. Then, it looked at the Sword Saint with blood-red eyes.

Roar!

An earth-shaking roar sounded. The wound on the Pollution Giant’s heart healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, its body expanded violently and it stared at the sword saint ferociously.

“Damn human, get lost!”

“It’s not dead?! Back then, I could easily kill two Low-Level Silver Rank Pollution Giants with one Sword Qi attack…”

“After all these years, my strength has become stronger, but I didn’t kill this Pollution Giant!”

The Sword Saint floated in the air with a very serious look on his face. He waved the long sword in his hand quickly, and streams of Sword Qi fell from the sky like a curtain of rain, suddenly attacking the Pollution Giant.

“Die!”

Boom!

The Pollution Giant roared, and its body dashed out like an armored vehicle. His big feet stomped on the ground crazily, and he rushed straight toward the Sword Saint.

The rain-like Sword Qi landed on the giant’s body. Although it caused a lot of wounds, it did not stop the giant from moving forward.
