Dong Wu Shang wasn't unguarded.
He had always been on guard!
However, he hadn't been on guard when things had come to a head. He had been caught completely off guard! That was because his elder brother's people had shown good intentions. So, he had let down his guard.
Moreover, he had deliberately let himself let down his guard.
No one knew how much Dong Wu Shang valued this brotherly affection. He had grown up together with his elder brother. He had always respected and worshipped him. He had always taken care of him in every possible way. He had spoiled him in every possible way. But, he had turned against him. So, one could well imagine how sad and disappointed he was.
Now, his elder brother had finally shown signs of reconciliation. He had shown good intentions.
Dong Wu Shang would rather believe that this was true! He had longed to return to the environment of brotherly love. So, he hadn't hesitated to gamble with his own safety!
Unfortunately, he had lost the gamble!
His body was injured in many places. Someone else wouldn't have been able to stand up if they had been in his place. But, he was still standing. He was standing on one leg. His entire body was bleeding profusely. But, he was still standing straight.
He was still mighty and majestic!
Only the sadness and disappointment in his eyes had added a bit of desolate elegance to his proud figure.
Everyone didn't dare to meet his gaze. So, they turned their heads away one after another.
Dong Wu Shang smiled. It was a miserable smile.
His heart had completely died at this point!
He suddenly recalled that Chu Yang had repeatedly told him before he had left, "Wu Shang, you must be careful!"
"Wu Shang, you must be careful!"
Big Brother had expected this. So, he had been reminding him. But, he hadn't said it clearly. That's because he couldn't say it clearly. After all, Dong Wu Lei was his elder brother. His biological elder brother!
It would've been hard to avoid sowing dissension if Big Brother had said it at that time.
But, his repeated reminders were tantamount to saying, "Be careful of your elder brother!"
Dong Wu Shang had also sensed it. But, he had still foolishly chosen to believe it when things had come to a head.
"Second Master, we also didn't want to do this." Du Liu Feng coughed twice. He then said somewhat guiltily, "But, our Dong Clan is swaying in the wind and rain at this time. We can't withstand another big storm."
"I understand." Dong Wushang nodded slowly. The look in his eyes changed from confusion and despair to heartache and pain. He was in so much pain that he wished he was dead.
But if one were to look closely at his eyes, one would be shocked to discover that his gaze was gradually deepening, gradually condensing, and gradually … transforming into a kind of cruelty!
He understood. He really understood.
The Dong Clan only needed one successor! Just like the throne of the royal family, there would always be only one seat! If Dong Wushang was a little mediocre, it wouldn't be a big deal. But to be so outstanding, it was unnecessary!
Moreover, it was a potential crisis that could lead to the division of the family!
Dong Wushang's body swayed, and his eyes suddenly turned into the color of the Black Saber. He looked up at the sky and murmured, "Everyone in the world pursues love, but who would have thought that this world is heartless! Perhaps it's because this world is filled with too much ruthlessness that there are so many legends about love … "
Suddenly, a burst of intense saber light shot out from his body!
Brilliant and dazzling.
Enlightenment!
The Second Senior Elder looked at each other in amazement. He clearly understood what had happened to Dong Wushang at this moment with his cultivation and insight. He hadn't expected that Dong Wushang's innate talent would be so unimaginable. His mind had been stimulated in such a desperate situation, but he had still managed to gain enlightenment at such a time!
"How can a saber strike without causing any injury be considered high? Who can endure the endless world of mortals? Drifting in the Jianghu, I'll become a heartless saber from now on! "
Dong Wushang looked up to the sky and laughed heartily. He laughed out loud because of the endless grief and indignation in his heart! Suddenly, he let out a long and loud shout, and slowly recited these lines of a poem. Perhaps, this wasn't a poem, but a saber art!
A saber art that belonged exclusively to Dong Wushang!
Dong Wushang had suddenly become a Buddha when his body and mind had been beaten black and blue. He had comprehended the second level of the Saber Emperor realm!
His entire body was emitting intense saber energy. The look in his eyes was becoming increasingly cruel, increasingly calm, and increasingly … heartless!
Dong Wushang had comprehended the saber without injury when he was a first grade Saber Emperor. But, his second grade Saber Emperor had comprehended the saber without injury!
[Saber strikes without causing any injury from now on. Saber strikes without emotion!]
His body issued 'Pi Pi Pa Pa' sounds. The broken bones in his chest suddenly recovered miraculously. He stretched out his left hand, and suddenly turned his body. Then, his right shoulder shook, and a 'Kacha' sound resounded. Dong Wushang slowly raised his right hand, and slightly extended it.
His shoulder recovered!
His right foot fiercely stomped on the ground, and issued an earth-shaking loud sound. Dust and smoke flew in all directions like an explosion of explosives!
His right leg recovered!
His comprehensive comprehension of the second grade Saber Emperor realm had miraculously healed all the injuries on his body to perfection at this moment! His injuries hadn't fully recovered, and his present strength wasn't at its peak. But, his movements were no longer hindered! No one would've been able to stop him if he had retreated at this time … including Du Liu Feng!
But, he didn't want to retreat. He wanted to kill!
The cloth that had bound his hair suddenly exploded with a 'bang' sound. His black hair fluttered down, and draped over his shoulders. Dong Wushang's body was tall and sturdy. He stood tall and straight. Everyone in front of him had all kinds of feelings at this moment!
The Dong Wushang in front of them wasn't Dong Wushang anymore. He was a Devil God from the ancient abyss! He was looking at them with disdain.
Dong Wushang's eyes were cold and emotionless as he looked at these people in front of him. He had once placed all his hopes and trust in them. Then, he slowly raised his right hand. His movement was as slow as an ox climbing a hill. But, it left behind a clear afterimage.
Everyone clearly saw that his right hand was raised to the air. It was raised to the level of his shoulder. It was raised to the point where it was raised to the point where it was leaning backwards … Then … his right hand grabbed the hilt of the saber!
It was the hilt of the Black Saber that had remained silent on his shoulder all this time!
The afterimage he had left behind in front of him was still clearly visible when his right hand had grabbed the hilt of the saber! It had displayed a clear hierarchy, and a clear sequence!
The moment his right hand gripped the hilt of his blade, the 50 people in front of him felt their minds shake violently.
It was as if the boundless sunny weather had suddenly turned dark!
And, a world-shaking thunderbolt flashed across the sky at the same time that it had turned dark. And, it had smashed the darkness that had filled the entire sky!
"You're heartless. So, I'm heartless!" Dong Wushang bellowed. Then, he suddenly unsheathed his Black Saber!
An earth-shattering black light shot out!
The afterimage he had left behind when he had unsheathed his saber was still in front of his chest. This saber had first smashed the afterimage in front of his body. Then, it had also smashed the air in front of his body. Then, it had streaked across the distance of eighty feet. And, the saber's edge had been aimed at Du Liu Feng's forehead.
His body had also arrived in front of Du Liu Feng when he had hacked down with his saber. However, Dong Wushang was still standing eighty feet away. His entire body was drenched in blood! His stature was tall and straight. He was like a deep pool of water and a mountain peak. One man could hold the pass against ten thousand men!
At this moment, it was as if there were two Dong Wushang that were exactly the same in this world! One was still, and the other was moving!
The still one was standing, and the moving one was killing people!
Du Liu Feng bellowed. He unleashed the highest strength of an eighth grade Emperor Level Expert in a flash. He didn't advance. Instead, he retreated three hundred feet like a whirlwind!
Dong Wushang's saber missed its target. And, a deep mark appeared on the ground with a bang. It was only one foot wide. However, it was a hundred feet deep. And, it was a full twenty-five feet long!
The might of this saber strike was so terrifying!
"Let's attack together! Kill him! "Du Liu Feng shouted in a sharp voice. A thin bloodstain had appeared on his forehead. And, blood was gushing out of it uncontrollably.
Dong Wushang hadn't hacked down with his saber. However, the saber energy of the Saber Emperor had injured him! His entire body would've been split into two halves if it had been a little bit heavier!
Du Liu Feng used his hand to touch his wound. However, his pure energy couldn't stop the bleeding!
Forty-five people of the Dong Clan crazily pounced on Du Liu Feng after Du Liu Feng had bellowed. Everyone had unsheathed their sabers and swords. And, they were seething with murderous aura.
Everyone knew that they would be dead if Dong Wushang didn't die today!
After all, this matter had to be carried out in secret. And, the clan's punishment would be enough to make everyone lose their lives if it was exposed!
Dong Wushang swept his saber across. He then laughed wildly and said, "Heartless Saber Technique!" Suddenly, the saber light became dazzling. That pitch-black Black Saber in his hand strangely emitted a multi-colored saber light!
The saber light swept across like lightning!
Blood-curdling screams resounded repeatedly. The bodies of seven people had been split into two halves. The smell of blood on the battlefield suddenly filled the air. And, the atmosphere had become even more tragic!
Dong Wushang laughed wildly. He then took large strides forward to attack. His body seemed like a moving lofty mountain range. He was so majestic that he seemed unexcelled in the world!
A light 'swoosh' sound was heard. Then, a shadow appeared above his head. Du Liu Feng had leapt down from the sky. The sword in his hand was emitting a sharp sword-light. He then thrust it towards Dong Wushang's head.
Dong Wushang fiercely lifted his Black Saber. And, it issued a 'whoosh ~ ~' sound as he brandished it. Then, a pitch-black saber curtain appeared from the ground to the sky! It had condensed into substance!
'Clang!'
A loud sound was heard. Du Liu Feng's body soared into the sky like a bird. But, he then fiercely somersaulted a few times in the air. Then, he staggered and fell to the ground!
Only the hilt of his sword remained. The webbing between his thumb and index finger had been ruptured, and was dripping with blood!
However, Dong Wushang's body also tilted. He staggered back a dozen or so steps. He left a deep footprint with each step he took. And, he stepped on the ground, and raised the dust in the sky. This kind of momentum didn't seem like a fight between two people. Instead, it seemed like two elephants had fiercely collided with each other at the highest speed!
Moreover, the location was in one of the most dust-prone deserts!
Dong Wushang had relied on the strength of a second-grade Saber Emperor and the weight of his Black Saber to meet Du Liu Feng's attack head-on. So, it seemed that the outcome of the fight had been evenly decided. In fact, Du Liu Feng had fallen into a disadvantageous position. However, Dong Wushang's injuries were more serious in reality.
He was a Saber Emperor who was far superior to an ordinary Emperor Level Expert!
However, his strength was inferior in the face of the all-out attack of an eighth-grade Emperor Level Expert! Dong Wushang would've died on the spot if the Black Saber hadn't neutralized most of the enemy's power in fact, and posed a serious threat to the enemy!
"Attack immediately! His injuries haven't healed yet! Now, his injuries have worsened. He doesn't have much fighting strength left! "Du Liu Feng gnashed his teeth, and shouted.
