Chapter 55: Revenge is not Served Cold
A young cultivator appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the red sun with his bare hands. The flames instantly extinguished, and a tiny sword was pulled out of it.
The man examined the flaming sword closely before sighing in admiration. “The Sun, a top-three immortal foundation even if you compare it to all the other immortal swords out there! To think that it is possible for someone to obtain it during a last-minute breakthrough! Still, the lass from the Bao Clan is fine. There is no need to go this far.”
“Unhand my sword!” Xiao Yu channeled his Dao power repeatedly but could not break his sword free.
Meanwhile, Cui Yu finally recovered from his shock and realized that the situation was off. He yelled, “Who are you? How dare you step into a fight meant for children as an adult! Have you no shame?”
The young cultivator smiled. “I just want to take a closer look at the legendary immortal sword, that’s all! To tell you the truth, it is a bad idea to make a last-minute breakthrough. You can very well drag down your Dao Foundation by a whole tier. Luckily for this boy, he managed to forge an immortal foundation despite it. That said, you are far too impatient for your age, you know that?”
He then released his grip on the immortal sword. It flew back to Xiao Yu and entered his forehead.
The boy grunted before saying coldly, “The likes of you don’t understand how gifted I am!”
Cui Yu couldn’t be bothered to verbally assault the young cultivator. He hurried to Bao Yun’s side and inspected her injury. A short while later, they finally realized that the dagger had only penetrated her lightly. So lightly, in fact, that it wasn’t even an inch into her flesh. The reason it looked so scary was because her dress had covered up most of the blade. At her current level—she was tempering her spirit—she wouldn’t even need to put an ointment on the wound. It would heal as good as new in two hours.
As for why the Dao Foundation mystic artifact had only cut a small hole in the girl’s clothes when it had penetrated Wei Yuan’s impossibly tough body with ease, it was because her dress wasn’t ordinary, of course. Even more exceptional was the fact that it appeared perfectly mundane even to a cultivator’s eye.
