Chapter 124 Encompass Heaven and Harness the Sea

The group of them who were standing outside the prefectural office suddenly heard this angry shout coming from inside the residence. They looked at each other and blurted out, "Da-shixiong?"

"Why did da-shixiong suddenly appear here?" Sikong Qianluo asked.

Lei Wujie looked angry, rolled up his sleeves, drew out his Murderous Dread sword, and cursed, "Oh, that damn pervert, still hounding us without end?"

Sikong Qianluo made the connection too. "That Hidden River Thousand-Faced Ghost again!"

Xiao Se reached out to stop Lei Wujie. "Wait, don't be impulsive!"

Lei Wujie had already stepped out, jumped, and rushed into the prefectural office, sword in hand.

The prefectural magistrate, Wang Ruofu, didn't understand why the man in black next to him yelled so suddenly after getting the medicine. He stood to one side, trembling with fear. The long-bearded advisor, who had been ordered to run out to receive them, returned, stumbling as he ran. "My lord, my lord, someone carrying a sword just broke into the prefectural office!"

"Guards, why aren’t you stopping him!" Wang Ruofu cursed.

The guards who were armed with swords rushed out, but what they saw was Lei Wujie swing his long sword and instantly cut their own swords into two. The group of them stared at the hilts of the swords in their hands and looked at each other for a while, then immediately threw aside their sword hilts and ran away.

"This…" Wang Ruofu couldn't help but begin sweating again. "Xu Dacheng, you go and stop him."

Xu Dacheng, the military officer of Yuanzhi City, was once an Imperial Insignia Guard in Heavenly Revelations, and he was somewhat experienced. Just looking at the skill of that one sword breaking nine swords simultaneously, the swordsman could be ranked highly in the martial world. With his own mediocre skill, how could he be a match? He hesitated and didn’t dare to move forward. "My lord, we should first ask this person why he’s here…”

The man in black frowned slightly and murmured, "Why is Lei Wujie going crazy?" Naturally, this was Tang Lian who had fled here with Ye Ruoyi. The angry shout earlier was just to remind Lei Wujie and the others that he was here, and to come in quickly to meet him. However, Lei Wujie was brandishing his sword with an angry expression on his face, clearly about to rush over to fight him to death. So, Tang Lian was very puzzled.

Wang Ruofu heard him talking to himself and hurriedly asked, "Does noble master know this person?"

"He's my shidi," Tang Lian replied, turning his head and shouting angrily at Lei Wujie, "Lei Wujie, what are you doing with your sword?"

"Hey! You're still acting!" Lei Wujie raised his Murderous Dread sword, jumped up, and stabbed his sword at Tang Lian.

Tang Lian hurriedly waved an arm, pushing Wang Ruofu and others back, and then a silver light appeared in his hands, and an extremely thin silk thread unrolled from his hands. He waved his hands and bound the sword that Lei Wujie had stabbed.

Lei Wujie was taken aback. "Hidden River blade wires?"

"Lei Wujie, are you crazy?" Tang Lian scolded.

"You are crazy, you pervert!" Lei Wujie reached out his left hand. "Heart sword, rise!" The slender Heart sword immediately unsheathed itself and fell into his hand. He raised it up and swiped it down towards Tang Lian. Tang Lian was so shocked he immediately released the Murderous Dread sword and retreated furiously. The blade wires in his hands flung wildly, and managed to block Lei Wujie's attacks, one sword after another.

"The fourth-ranked sword, Heart sword? Lei Wujie, you went to Sword Heart Tomb?" Tang Lian was taken aback.

Lei Wujie was shocked when he heard the words, stopped the offensive, and after thinking about it, he raised the sword again. "Whoa, you even pretend like you don’t know? I almost fell for it again! Damn pervert!"

"Lei Wujie, you bastard, you really don't think of me as your shixiong. You call me a pervert again and see if I won’t teach you a lesson!" Tang Lian couldn't take it anymore. He drew forth the blade wires in his hand and those almost transparent fingertip blades had already left his hands, and flew towards Lei Wujie.

"You even secretly stole da-shixiong’s fingertip blades?" Lei Wujie slammed the Murderous Dread sword into the ground and lifted the Heart sword and stabbed forward.

At this time, Xiao Se and the others had also walked in, just as the two were fighting evenly matched. Sikong Qianluo watched Lei Wujie waving his Heart sword by himself, seeming to be entangled with an invisible weapon, and couldn't help but wonder, "That Mu Ying’s weapons can become invisible?"

"Those are blade wires," Xiao Se said slowly. "Hidden River’s unique weapon. The only weapon in the world that has an edge but no blade, is so thin that it’s almost transparent, and is only visible by closely observing the changes in light and shadow in the air."

"Alright, so he really is that perverted pretender." Sikong Qianluo lifted the Silver Moon spear and was about to step forward to help.

Xiao Se reached out to stop her. "The Hidden River Patriarch and Baili Dongjun are old acquaintances, and once gave him a roll of blade wire. If I remember correctly, that roll of blade wire was indeed passed to Tang Lian. Tang Lian also combined it with his fingertip blades and created a move called Inescapable Net."

Sikong Qianluo thought for a moment, and nodded. "I think Dad mentioned something like this before."

On the other side, Tang Lian was greatly shocked. Lei Wujie had just entered the Vajra Mortal Realm when he left the city and there was still a gap between them, but right now, his sword aura was biting cold, especially when using that fourth-ranked sword under Heaven. It seemed like Lei Wujie had entered the Unrestrained Earthly Realm, and was already more powerful than himself. Tang Lian's competitiveness also surged, but he still didn’t plan on using his hidden weapons. Firstly, because the hidden weapons were extremely dangerous, and the moment he used them, there was the risk of death. Although he didn't know what set off Lei Wujie to start attacking him, he couldn’t just kill him because of that. Secondly, because the hidden weapons were passed down to him by Tang Clan, Tang Lian had unconsciously made up his mind. Until this whole matter came to light, except for the fingertip blade that Tang Lianyue taught him personally since he was very young, he would not use any more Tang Clan hidden weapons.

Then there were only two other martial arts for him to use.

The internal strength Encompass Heaven, and the fist technique Harness the Sea. Imparted by Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun.

"Very good, this Heart sword. Might as well borrow it for a look." Tang Lian suddenly put away the blade wires, and took a step forward. He was already close enough to reach for Lei Wujie.

Lightness skill, Thousand Mile Drunk.

"Good! Let’s see if you have the ability." Lei Wujie stabbed forward with his sword. Sudden Thunderclap!

Tang Lian aimed a palm strike at Lei Wujie, but that palm strike was very sluggish, very slow! The palm energy was like a tidal wave at sea, continuous and uninterrupted. Lei Wujie could only feel that although his sword energy was domineering, it was being covered up by layer after layer of fist power and slowly getting swallowed up. That fist power was like the sea, the momentum continuous, absorbing everything in the world.

Lei Wujie's eyes suddenly began to burn, and his red clothes filled up in an instant. He’d entered straight into Blazing Arts eighth stage, Fire Realm!

Luo Mingxuan, who had been watching the battle the entire time, suddenly said, "Internal strength Encompass Heaven, fist technique Harness the Sea. There’s no mistake, he is the real da-shixiong!"

"Lei Wujie, stop!" Xiao Se said loudly.

When Lei Wujie heard the conversation between the two, he was shocked. His pupils dimmed in an instant and he hurriedly withdrew his sword, but Tang Lian's strength did not disappear, and he immediately sent Lei Wujie flying.

Tang Lian withdrew his palms, his expression grim. "Lei Wujie, your abilities have improved?"

Lei Wujie retreated three steps before he could get up. Then, he immediately ran towards Tang Lian, but this time there was no murderous intent. He stumbled like a child running towards his parents and then, Lei Wujie hugged Tang Lian, his voice full of tears. “Da-shixiong! We’ve suffered so hard waiting for you, ah!"

Tang Lian looked helpless. He sighed and looked at Xiao Se and others. "Please tell me, what story are we acting in now?"

Xiao Se, Sikong Qianluo, and Luo Mingxuan immediately turned around, pretending not to know Lei Wujie who shamed himself and his whole clan.
