Chapter 157 - 148: Ambivalent Regrets; General Ming Snaps the Hateful Sword 3
Ming Guang looked over Pei Su calculatingly, "You're Little Pei?"
"I am." Pei Su answered.
Ming Guang narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ban Yue, taunting, "I heard you threw away your heavenly official status for a little girl? Haha, Pei Ming, didn't you always used to promote 'Brothers like limbs; Women like clothes'? Why's your descendant nothing like you? He didn't even learn a tenth of your eye for picking women; this Guoshi of Banye looks like a little quail, what the hell? Were you maybe cucked all those hundreds of year ago and bore someone else's spawn? Hahahaha..."
"Nothing but nonsense." Pei Su said, then shot a blast from his palm. Ke Mo also leapt into the air, roaring, "WE ARE SWORN ENEMIES!"
Ming Guang shouted, "HEY! BIG GUY, WE'RE ON THE SAME SIDE!"
Ke Mo turned his head back and saw Ming Guang jumping up, transforming into a long bladed verdant sword and flew into his hand. Ke Mo opened his iron fan-like large palms, clutched onto the hilt, and a cloud of black aura instantly exploded from his giant body.
A menacing corpse with a demonic sword in hand was like a savage beast growing venomous fangs!
Earlier when Pei Ming tapped Xie Lian's face with E-Ming gave Xie Lian an idea. Although he couldn't quite understand why, but he felt maybe the same trick could help Hua Cheng, and was going to sneakily transfer some air to him while no one was looking, see if it would bring some relief. However, watching the dire situation unfold, he couldn't help but shout "WATCH OUT!"
It was awkward for Pei Ming to join the fight, so only Pei Su and Ban Yue banded together to attack. While one was sharp and direct and the other agile and eccentric, just their physical strength wasn't enough; Pei Su had no spiritual power and Ban Yue possessed no aggression. Facing a Ke Mo who had both spiritual power and aggression, they were feeling the strain.
Ban Yue was just berated by Ke Mo so she was too embarrassed to throw any more scorpion tailed snakes, but Pei Su had none of that concern, throwing snakes out like rain while Ke Mo roared unceasingly with fury, and only thanks to Ming Guang's sword aura for protection did none of the snakes dare approach. However, be that as it may, after Xie Lian watched the fight for a while he began to relax. This was because he could tell Ke Mo and Ming Guang didn't match well.
Ke Mo grew up in the Kingdom of Banyue and was used to wielding a mace. He was used to large and heavy weapons, so a sword was not something he was skilled with. Even if he possessed unimaginable strength and the weapon in hand was incomparably sharp; together, they might not be able to unleash their full capabilities and wouldn't be able to learn the tricks of the trade immediately. Thus, Xie Lian seized this chance, clapped his palms together in a prayer towards Hua Cheng, and said, "Forgive me!"
