Translator: Jon Translation Checker : Silavin Before Lu Ye cultivated the Tyrant Blade Technique, his understanding of the Way of Blades was limited. That was because no one had ever guided him in any way. He had explored everything on his own. Due to his limited experience and knowledge, he had only learned the technical part of it. The Blade Techniques he had cast, be it Combo, which he had invented, or Flash, were merely skills he used to deal with his enemies. They couldn’t even be considered Techniques. However, after he acquired the Tyrant Blade Technique and saw it displayed right before his eyes in the mysterious space, he finally realised how inadequate he was. Starburst was the only move of the Tyrant Blade Technique he could use now. Although it was not perfect, and it was certainly not comparable to the attack he had seen in the mysterious space, it was more than enough to be used against enemies who were also in the Cloud River Realm. The attack contained a bit of Saber Intent. Dominance and ferocity were the essences of the Tyrant Blade Technique. One wouldn’t waver even in the face of thousands of people. Following the flash of the attack, people were heard screaming. The faces of the cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge were drained of colour as though they saw something horrifying. They were astonished despite the brief exchange of moves. All they could see were Saber Lights that twinkled like Stars. By the time blood splashed, Lu Ye had broken the siege as people exclaimed and the corpses fell from the sky. Only then did the survivors come to their senses, and they were reeling from the shock. No one understood what had just happened. They had formed into a siege, but it was shattered by Lu Ye for some reason. Moreover, several people out of the dozens were killed. When they turned their heads, they saw the red light charging into the City of Heavens. In a blink, Lu Ye entered the most conspicuous building that was the Divine Trade Association. They had failed their mission. Looking at the sight, the cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge sported conflicted expressions. While they were heartbroken that the chance of getting the reward had slipped through their fingers, they also felt fortunate that they had survived the astonishing attack. No one had expected a Sixth-Order Cloud River Realm Master to be able to cast such an amazing attack. “Saber Intent!” a survivor said meditatively while feeling shocked. “There’s Saber Intent in his Blade Technique!” When these people recalled how they had fallen into a dazed state earlier, they knew he was right. Upon that realisation, they were flabbergasted. Spirit Creek Realm Masters and Cloud River Realm Masters mainly focused on improving their cultivation and increasing their powers. They didn’t have access to things as abstruse as Intent or Technique. Even within the Tier-One Sects with a long history, only a small number of people had a right to learn more about those things. Lu Ye was only a Sixth-Order Cloud River Realm Master, but his Blade Technique already contained Intent, which was unheard of. How were they supposed to kill someone like him when there wasn’t even a Ninth-Order Master with them? Meanwhile, Lu Ye took Hua Ci to barge into the Divine Trade Association. All of them in the hall were both shocked and doubtful. At the same time, Lu Ye could feel several hidden and powerful auras locking onto him. He knew they belonged to the powerful cultivators from the Divine Trade Association. No one could make a scene or get into a fight in this place. Having witnessed the hidden heritage of the Divine Trade Association, Lu Ye naturally wouldn’t think that the powerful cultivators in charge of protecting this place were merely Cloud River Realm Masters. Perhaps they could showcase their powers in the Real Lake Realm at will. After swinging the blood off the blade, Lu Ye put the saber back into the sheath and curbed his vigorous vitality. Only then did the auras that had locked onto him dissipated. “Dear valued customer…” A Manager came over and looked helplessly at Lu Ye. “Get me a room,” Lu Ye ordered. “Please give me a second,” the Manager replied and tapped his Battlefield Imprint, apparently trying to ask someone for instructions. A moment later, he extended his hand and said, “This way, please.” Lu Ye then followed the Manager to the third floor and entered a room. After passing him ten days’ worth of accommodation fees, he closed the door. Amber leapt away from Lu Ye’s shoulder and shook its body. Yi Yi emerged from Amber as well. Just as she was ready to resume the chat with Hua Ci, Lu Ye suddenly turned around and glared at Hua Ci. “You’re too reckless!” His voice was stern, and his expression was fierce. Yi Yi gulped down her words and looked at Lu Ye in shock, wondering why he was furious out of nowhere. Nothing seemed to have gone wrong between them throughout the journey. A dumbfounded Hua Ci glanced at him. “Huh?” “Who told you to take such a huge risk? You’re only a Medical Cultivator, so how did you have the guts to go to a place where there were hundreds of cultivators from Thousand Demon Ridge?” Lu Ye chided her. When he saw Hua Ci while he was inside Soaring Dragon Boundary, he knew he could flee that place with her around. However, he was anxious at that time. He was still reeling from the shock now. There were all sorts of cultivators. Although Medical Cultivators had an advantage unrivalled by other factions, no one knew if some of the enemies had ill intentions against Hua Ci. If anything happened to her, who could save her under such a circumstance? “Are you worried about me?” Hua Ci batted her eyes while looking at Lu Ye. “What do you think?” Lu Ye admitted to it without hesitation. “Have you never thought about what might happen to you in that situation?” Hua Ci put on a faint smile. “Well, what could possibly happen? I can protect myself.” When she was a captive, she wasn’t just treating the wounds of her enemies. Her moves were so inscrutable that even people like Xia Liang failed to notice them. They didn’t expect a demure and beautiful Medical Cultivator to have any ill intentions. “How are you supposed to protect yourself when you’re only a new Cloud River Realm Master? How are you sure those people wouldn’t harm you?” Hua Ci looked playfully at him. They had known each other for quite a long time, but it was her first time seeing the man blow his top. Therefore, despite his fury, she clicked her tongue and teased him. “Yi Yi, look at how this man is treating his benefactor…” Yi Yi didn’t dare say anything. She and Amber cowered at the corner and looked at them. “Benefactor?” Lu Ye snapped. “Do you think I couldn’t run away? I had only chosen to show up because you were there!” If not for the fact that Hua Ci was there, he would’ve stayed in Soaring Dragon Boundary for a while longer. At the very least, he would only leave when most of his enemies were gone. Suddenly, Hua Ci feigned sorrow as if she had suffered the greatest grievance in the world. “I’m your benefactor. Not only are you ungrateful, but you’re also harsh to me…” “Speak properly!” Lu Ye pulled a long face. Hua Ci looked meekly at him. “I’m speaking properly.” Lu Ye drew a deep breath and grabbed her arm before throwing her onto the bed. Then, he gave her a good, hard spank. At that moment, the entire world seemed to have fallen into dead silence. While lying on her belly, Hua Ci turned her head and glanced at Lu Ye in disbelief. Her face flushed as she fell into a dazed state. Meanwhile, Yi Yi’s jaw dropped and she couldn’t close it for a long time as the sight was too shocking. Amber covered its eyes with its paws, not daring to look. It was an innocent tiger, after all. “You must not do it again!” Lu Ye demanded while looking solemnly at the woman. Hau Ci still hadn’t come to her senses, obviously dumbstruck by the spank. The pain in her bottom showed that Lu Ye didn’t hold his strength back. Seeing that the man raised his hand again, she quickly replied, “I got it! I won’t do it again!” She quickly got up and covered her bottom before retreating to the corner. Only then did Lu Ye nod with satisfaction before he turned to look at Yi Yi and Amber. “Both of you must keep what I’ve said in mind as well.” It was as if he was a Father who was lecturing his mischievous kids. Yi Yi and Amber dipped their heads repeatedly. “Get some rest. I’ll head out for a while.” With that, Lu Ye opened the door and stepped out of the room. Despite his calm expression, his heart was pounding against his chest. He was too agitated earlier as his blood rushed to his head, so he couldn’t control himself. It wasn’t until he spanked the woman that he realised it was so inappropriate. Since it had already happened, he could only put on an act and carry on. It would be embarrassing if he stayed in the room, so he decided to leave. Fortunately, the outcome was satisfactory. Following this incident, Hua Ci likely wouldn’t do anything on a whim again. Deep down, he knew that the woman had only done that for him. Although he didn’t show his gratitude, he kept that in the deepest part of his heart. Just then, he received a message on his Battlefield Imprint. He reckoned that it must be Li Baxian. Just as he had expected, Li Baxian had indeed sent him a message. Lu Ye quickly told him that he was safe and that he was inside the Divine Trade Association, so the latter could set his mind at ease. After he was done with that, he took a look at his information on the Battlefield Imprint. Name: Lu Yi Ye Identity: The disciple of the Crimson Blood Sect Cultivation: Sixth-Order Cloud River Realm Location: Cloud River Battlefield Contribution points: 127,366 Battle points: 283,672 His Contribution points hadn’t increased a lot. He had only earned some points by killing his enemies. Nonetheless, he had gained quite a lot of battle points. Although it wasn’t as much as the battle points he had acquired in the Lost City of Xianyuan back then, the difference was small. The thing was, all the battle points he had obtained in the Lost City of Xianyuan had been traded for Soul Cleansing Water. On the other hand, he could decide how he wanted to spend the battle points this time. For example, he could trade them for Golden Amulets. His most important task at hand was to improve his cultivation as fast as he could. In the Lost City of Xianyuan previously, if not for the fact that Soul Cleansing Water was invaluable, he wouldn’t have used up his battle points. The reason he even obtained so many battle points was that he had played a key role in most major events when he was in Soaring Dragon Boundary. He had built a Grand Ward in the Valley of Medicine and helped the cultivators there kill the enemies. The battle alone earned him around 30,000 battle points. Compared with the total number of points he had acquired, 30,000 wasn’t a lot. Then, he led the army in Soaring Dragon Boundary to go against the Blood Race. Under the Heavenly Gully, he activated the Dragon Throne and destroyed the altar meant to help the enemies to come over, thus weakening Blood Boundary’s attachment to Soaring Dragon Boundary. He obtained lots of battle points following the incident. After that, he built 64 altars that were collectively known as the Sky Mending Platform, which was used to heal the crack in the sky. That got him a large amount of points as well. All of those incidents amounted to the staggering amount of battle points he got.
