How could Lu Yin possibly agree? He laughed dryly. "Brother Liu, please don't joke around. I don't have that kind of fortune."
Liu Hao felt that it was a pity, as he knew that Lu Yin was unlikely to agree. After all, he was from the White Dragon Tribe of the Four Cardinal Scales. No matter how great the Liu family's reputation was, it was still limited to the Middle Realm. The White Dragon Tribe was from the Top Realm, and they were naturally superior to others.
"Then let's continue. I want to see how far Brother Long can go." Liu Hao waved his hand again, summoning another blade of grass. He took a step forward and appeared in front of Lu Yin.
Lu Yin didn't want to continue fighting, but Liu Hao would never give up. He wanted to keep Lu Yin here to break through the sword technique, but Lu Yin didn't agree. He couldn't give up on this rare opportunity.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed. During this time, Liu Hao had not used any powerful attacks and had only used simple sword techniques. Lu Yin had broken through them step by step. Lu Yin had never seen these sword techniques before, but for some reason, he was able to instinctively break through them. Furthermore, he was able to do so in the simplest way. In comparison, Liu Hao's sword techniques were much more complicated.
Liu Hao's eyes grew brighter and brighter. In just an hour, his understanding of sword moves had increased a little. Some sword moves could be completely abandoned. This person was indeed capable of breaking sword moves.
In the outside world, Long Kui was still in shock. That brat Long Qi had actually fought with Liu Hao for an hour. Liu Hao was someone who dared to challenge young ancestor Long Tian. During the Yuan Lun Sacrificial Competition, he was also one of the top experts second only to the young ancestor. In terms of strength, he might even surpass Princess Long Xi.
This Long Qi could actually fight with him to this extent. Could it be that in such a short period of time, his strength had improved to the level where he could fight with Princess Long Xi?
No, that wasn't right. Liu Hao had not used his full strength, and he had only used his sword technique. Even so, that was still very terrifying. Once Long Seven's cultivation increased and he broke through to the Enlighter realm, he would definitely be able to fight against Princess Long Xi.
This young man wasn't as weak as he had imagined. Maybe, the sword stele had transformed him.
Long Kui had not forgotten how Lu Yin had extracted the dragon's blood back at White Mountain. Although that spear strike had been domineering, he had not comprehended the spear at all. It was as if he was a completely different person from the current Long Kui. It was indeed the sword stele that had transformed Lu Yin. He immediately contacted Long Xi.
The more he fought, the more excited he became. Liu Hao gradually forgot to control his strength, and his attacks became fiercer and fiercer. The grass in his hand had long since been replaced by a sword. He was expressing his respect for Lu Yin, and he unconsciously used the sword move that he had used against Long Tian and the other peak experts — Sword Origin.
Sword Origin came from the Sword Stele. Swords had a spirit and contained Origin Qi, just like the spirituality of humans and the spirituality of all living things.
Sword Origin was the spirituality of a sword.
The moment Liu Hao unleashed his Sword Origin, his sword changed, and he drew upon the Enlighter's strength within his body to unleash an unparalleled destructive power. Lu Yin had clearly parried this attack with his spear, and logically speaking, he should have broken through Liu Hao's sword technique. However, his spear still shattered as Liu Hao used brute force to break through his technique. His sword seemed to be able to cut through the void as it slashed towards Lu Yin.
The surrounding Liu Family members exclaimed.
Elder Song frowned. In terms of sword techniques, Liu Hao could not surpass Dragon Seven. It was time to end it.
Against Liu Hao's attack, Lu Yin would not have been injured if he had just stood in place. There were many Liu family experts around, and the Envoys could have cut off the void at any time.
However, Liu Hao felt that this was not enough, as just revealing his previous strength was not enough to attract the Junior Ancestor's attention. He raised his hand, and the shattered spear scattered in all directions to form a flow diversion diagram. This was the third inheritance that he had revealed, and it was also the inheritance that would attract the Junior Ancestor's attention.
The Liu family experts who had been about to attack suddenly paused.
Liu Hao's sword slashed at the flow diversion diagram, and the sharp edge of the sword was forcefully scattered. It swept in all directions, but fortunately, it was blocked by the Liu family experts.
In the same spot, fireworks bloomed above Lu Yin's head. The streaks of sword qi had been scattered, and Liu Hao's sword had not been able to advance even an inch.
Although Liu Hao had not fully displayed an attack that could be used against someone at the same level as him, this attack was still not something that an ordinary Hunter could withstand. Even an Enlighter would find it difficult to withstand, but it had actually been broken through.
Liu Hao was shocked, and he retracted his sword and retreated. He stared at the flow diversion diagram in shock and confusion. "Is this … a sourcebox array?"
Everyone was stunned.
Lu Yin panted heavily, and his face was pale. "That's right, a sourcebox array."
"You actually know how to set up a sourcebox array?" an elder from the Liu family asked in disbelief.
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "I obtained an inheritance from the Sword Stele."
Everyone was speechless. How many inheritances had Lu Yin obtained?
Was this for real?
When they thought about how Lu Yin had been immersed in the array for six days, it seemed possible.
The Sword Stele was too biased, and it had given him so many inheritances.
Liu Hao was speechless, and he looked at the flow diversion diagram curiously. "You've learned lockbreaking before?"
Even if Lu Yin had received the inheritance, he would not have been able to comprehend a sourcebox array so quickly if he did not know how to lockbreak. It was not a battle technique after all.
Lu Yin deactivated the flow diversion diagram and nodded. He tiredly said, "I learned it a long time ago. My domain is very strong." He then released his domain and swept it out in all directions.
Everyone was shocked again, as they had been shocked by Lu Yin several times today.
Liu Hao spoke up. "This domain's power is not bad, and you were able to withstand my sword. Your name will spread throughout the Astral Tree Domain. Long Seven, you're worthy of Long Xi."
Lu Yin pursed his lips, not knowing how to respond.
"It's just a pity that your realm is too low, and you started off too late. Otherwise, you might have been able to enter the Ruler's Realm," Liu Hao said. He then looked at Lu Yin. "Come to my Liu family if you have the chance. The Frigid Immortal Sect is ruthless, and they will not let you off easily."
Lu Yin could hear the sincerity in Liu Hao's words. This person's entire heart was focused on the sword, and it seemed that many people who trained in sword techniques were like this. Although the Sword Sect did not get along well with Lu Yin due to their own interests, most of the Sword Sect's disciples focused on sword techniques and were not interested in anything else. This was how the King of the Sword had come to exist, and the Sword Stele's Liu family should be the same.
The crowd quickly dispersed, and Elder Song was full of praise for Lu Yin. "Come back when you have time, kid. I'll let you view the Sword Stele again."
Lu Yin had not expected this elder to be so generous.
Elder Song smiled. "Sectarian bias is deeply ingrained in humans. All I can do is try my best to fight for opportunities for the younger generation. You're not bad."
Lu Yin was grateful. "Thank you, Senior." He was still conflicted about what to do about Liu Ke.
Under normal circumstances, the Liu family would have sent someone to show Lu Yin around. Lu Yin wanted to use this opportunity to think about how to proceed, but the Liu family seemed to have no intention of showing him around. Even Liu Hao, who had tried his best to rope him in, had left.
Lu Yin looked around. Although the Liu family members were all looking at him with burning gazes, none of them seemed to have any intention of inviting him.
Was this how they treated their guests?
Seeing that Elder Song was about to leave, Lu Yin hurriedly called out, "Senior, please wait."
Elder Song looked at Lu Yin. "Is there something else?"
Lu Yin knew that this elder had a high status in the Liu family, and he treated Lu Yin very well. He was even willing to give Lu Yin another chance to view the Sword Stele. If Lu Yin wanted to complete his mission, he would have to rely on this elder.
This was his first mission after entering the fourteenth gate, and he had to complete it. Otherwise, his future path would be difficult.
From the reward of viewing the Sword Stele, one could see how deep the foundation of the fourteenth gate was.
As he thought about it, Lu Yin bowed deeply. "Junior Long Qi from the fourteenth gate. I'm very grateful for your praise, but I came here with a mission. I've offended you and the Liu family."
When they heard this, many of the people who had yet to disperse were furious. "The fourteenth gate wants to capture someone from the Liu family?
How dare you! The ancestor has spoken, and no one from the Liu family will be taken away. "
"The Liu family specializes in the way of the sword, and there will be no traitors. Scram!"
"Brat, scram!"
Through Zhang Dingtian, Lu Yin knew that the Liu family hated the fourteenth gate, but he hadn't expected it to be so intense.
In the distance, Zhang Dingtian frowned; he had still seen this scene.
Liu Tianmu turned and left.
Lu Yin faced the accusations of the Liu family members, but he still bowed deeply with a respectful attitude.
Behind Elder Song, a senior of the Liu family shouted, "Leave, the Liu family does not welcome you."
"Kid, who's your mission target?" Elder Song suddenly asked, and the crowd immediately quieted down.
In the crowd, a youth's eyes flickered uneasily. He had been the one who had shouted the loudest and first.
"Liu Ke," Lu Yin answered.
The crowd was in an uproar, and some of them stared at the youth who had shouted the loudest. He was Liu Ke.
Elder Song looked over as well.
Liu Ke's face paled, and he gritted his teeth as he glared at Lu Yin with bloodshot eyes. "Your Fourteenth Gate still wants to frame my Liu family? You're the Four Way Scales' lackeys! What benefits did the Four Way Scales give you that you want to destroy my Liu family?"
Many of the Liu family members agreed, "That's right, the fourteenth gate is the Four Way Scales' lackeys."
"Get out of the Sword Stele."
…
Lu Yin looked at the youth, "You're Liu Ke?"
Liu Ke raised his head, "That's right, I am. Do you have any proof that I'm a spy?
Show me if you do. "
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, "Ever since the last incident, everyone knows the Liu family's attitude towards the fourteenth gate. If that's the case, why did they send me to capture you?
Your family's ancestors have already spoken, but they still issued this mission. The only reason is that you're definitely a spy. There's no mistaking it. "
Many of the Liu family members fell into deep thought, as they had also thought about it. The Liu family's attitude had been so obvious, but the fourteenth gate had still issued the mission to capture Liu Ke. Either the fourteenth gate was targeting the Liu family, or Liu Ke was a spy.
If they were targeting the Liu family, the fourteenth gate would not have sent a Hunter, especially one who was the son-in-law of the White Dragon Clan's main bloodline. It was obvious that they wanted to use his status as a White Dragon to make the Liu family apprehensive. This did not seem like they were targeting the Liu family; rather, it seemed like they really wanted to complete the mission.
Liu Ke was furious, "Cut the crap. If you have any proof, show me."
"It seems like you don't have any proof," Lu Yin said coldly.
Liu Ke panicked, but then he sneered, "I didn't betray the humans, and I'm not a spy. Where did you get the proof?
Unless you're faking it, you're dreaming if you think you can do that in front of my Liu family's Sword Stele. "
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. The mission had only stated that he wanted to capture Liu Ke, but he had not been given any proof. The fourteenth gate should have been absolutely certain that Liu Ke was a spy, but they had no proof. Otherwise, they would not have gone through so much trouble.
