Xianxia: Why am I here?

250 Crushed

When the other groups he had wanted to gather to suppress Ruruo were nowhere to be seen, and the elders within the formation were either injured or dying the old man seemed to have lost all support.

He only felt like a huge force was being led toward his body, especially when Ruruo blessed her sword with the other laws she had comprehended.

The couple had not seen any high-end sword techniques, but Ruruo seemed to have fused everything she had learned along the way. And after taking the path of law, she even started to weave it slowly in her sword moves thus evolving it into the current techniques she was applying.

Even without excellent techniques, she can be said to be indeed on another level when one mentions geniuses, even Wang failed when it came to making his own techniques and only had some inspiration when his potential reached close to 100.

In this way, it can be said that Ruruo is indeed not someone that can be looked down upon. The other excellent inheritances that the couple obtained seemed to be on other aspects that Wang was the biggest beneficiary of. In truth though, the techniques were acquired from some of the adventures the couple was involved in.

From the Qi Codex to the rest of the high-level skills, but the effect of these skills seemed to have started to wear off at the level of strength they were standing at.

Perhaps only those that are made personally can be carried forward, as Ruruo does not have the function of fusing techniques like Wang through the panel.

In this way, over the years, he has involved himself in studying other unique skills such as formations that have reached a higher level than even his cultivation. In this way, he can have numerous ways to deal with trouble when it arises.

Then Ruruo that has not been distracted over that period has made considerable progress in her skills.

.....

The couple has after practiced for some time but compared to the lifespan they have at the moment it is indeed not that long.

But the old man on the other side has been fighting until this moment he did not have the idea about asking why his city had been attacked, Perhaps it is the nature of those that feel superior to others. In the path of cultivation, some people end up developing such an arrogant attitude that seems to be passed on to the institutions they manage or found. In that way, their descendant or those that join seem to show such attitudes toward others

This might have been the way they operate in this region, but neither Wang nor Ruruo cared about how the guys acted in their territory. The fact that they dared to attack them seemed to have made the two of them angry. Even though the city experts were trying to search for resources, this seemed like their usual behavior. Attacking others and stealing their resources and in the end, Wang has just robbed almost everything of value from their storage space.

Even at this moment, the old man did not know this, but he would go crazy if he realized that Wang was still eyeing his storage device. He reckoned that the old man might have something else that could be deemed useful in there, after all the most valuables would be left with him in the end.

The old man was indeed angry and thus let out a shout,

“Fuse!”

When the shout was issued, the old man seemed to be releasing black energy that spread out enveloping the dead and dying elders even those that still had some hope of living.

Wang in the distance thought this was a move toward Ruruo only to realize it was actually some formation too. It is just that this one was very sinister.

The black energy dissolved the elders covered by the formation whether dead or alive, turning them into a mass of flesh that was being absorbed by the old man. And even though his realm did not rise, the old man recovered to the peak state, and even it could be said he was better than before.

It was obvious that this ability did not work on everyone as he might have used it on the enemy directly, so Wang concluded that the old man had done something to the elders in the city in case of an emergency he could turn them into energy to support himself.

The most obvious of these is the fact that those that had some ability to move seemed to be struggling in the end, but incapable of escaping. So the formation the elders used together might be the true problem, but he probably did not seem that interested in it.

At this moment, after the energies from the elders gathered completely on the old man, it seemed to be slowly fusing in his body then the area returned to calm. The process was indeed fast enough, indicating that the old man has put a lot of things into consideration.

Such as being attacked by the enemy to stop the fusion, but Ruruo did not feel a threat from the group at all. In that way, she did not disturb the old man, she wanted to fight him at the strongest. After all, she could feel that Wang was somewhere watching this show.

The moment the old man seemed to have regained some youthfulness from that evil technique that resembled the moves utilized by the guy that owned the altar in the beginning. And after this drama was over the old man even had the guts to shout out some words that made the couple raise question marks in their heads.

“You forced me!”

Listening to this Wang was wondering what the old man would say when he realized that the storage space in his city had been cleaned out. Besides, he was under the assumption this old man could have escaped but something of value was being kept in the city that seemed to be stopping him from escaping. He was even willing to risk his life for it, in that way he had to find it.

He already concluded that it was not something that could be moved otherwise, with this old man’s nature that he is willing to even sacrifice his own elders to gain more power he would not risk it. He would have already taken it with him everywhere.

Moreover, the fact that the old man even build a city in itself is wrong, this was the issue that he was wondering about and after realizing this he started to use his mind power to scan around the city.

On the other side, after making this shout the old man threw out a causal red palm print that was several times more powerful compared to before. The palm was stronger and the black power lingering on it made Ruruo frown slightly. She could feel that this power might have some corrosive properties.

The collision this time managed to make Ruruo retreat a few hundred meters, this made the old man show a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.

Things were now going okay, since he was confident in dealing with her, he relaxed a little. He was indeed unwilling to escape just as Wang had thought.

He also attacked again and this time the red palm print seemed to have been enlarged several times. The power it was carrying had also increased dramatically, but to his disappointment, he saw some excitement on Ruruo’s face.

“Good attack!”

As Ruruo praised, in a high voice that even Wang in the distance couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

“Why does this behavior seem normal? Right, this was how she always behaved in the past, Why is acting like some little girl in the past?” Ignoring this he focused on what he was doing.

But he could still hear the sound of collisions that seemed to be getting more and more serious but Wang did not hear Ruruo using her strongest move yet so he just focused on his issues.

With the collisions, Ruruo’s body started to emit some starlight, covering her and her physical strength seemed to have soared. She seemed to be more excited about the fight than the old man that had his power increased.

The collision between the sound resulted in strong sound waves spreading outwards and many buildings in the city were leveled due to it.

“Om!”

When she waved her sword, the light in the sky dimmed, and pure darkness seemed to be descending toward the old man. At this moment the two of them seemed to be going all out using their powerful tricks.

The palm that had just pushed forward seemed to have been hit hard and paused for a moment before it was torn apart.

The moment it happened, Ruruo shifted some distance avoiding the remnants of the palm, while the attack from the sword ended up pushing the old man to retreat some distance.

Looking at the old man before her, Ruruo did not retreat at all but held the sword with both hands and stepped forward with her right foot.

The old man could only see a blur, then Ruruo before disappeared from sight. At this moment her speed had already gone beyond exaggerated. This was the legendary unity of man and sword.

Even when the man wanted to retreat or defend he did not see the enemy. Soon he felt some pain and he let out a scream but it did not seem to last long.

“Ah!”

His head was separated from the body, this was when he realized he was dying.

“Boom!”

His body also collapsed from the sky, and Wang seemed to flicker appearing at another location,

“What a genius trick, even I would have failed to realize this.”
