Chapter 140 – The Most Unique Sixth Rank, Revealing the Blood Blade Patriarch’s Identity - Part 2
Li Yuan crouched, resting his hands gently on Tang Nian’s shoulders. After a brief pause, he spoke softly, “I know you’re still sad. I won’t tell you to snap out of it or hurry up and be happy... Just don’t push yourself too hard.”
He ruffled her hair with a tender smile.
“Godfather...” Tang Nian murmured, then nodded. “I’ll be careful.”
“All right,” Li Yuan said with a laugh, standing. He pointed at the tall, faceless puppet. “Do me a favor. Control that thing at full power and attack me. I want to test a few things.”
Tang Nian hesitated. She barely knew anything about Li Yuan’s combat abilities, much less his identity as the Blood Blade Patriarch. So she worried aloud, “It’s really strong. I...I’m afraid it might hurt you.”
Glancing at his own combat power of 635~1,135, Li Yuan just smiled. “I appreciate your concern, but I might be a touch stronger than you imagine.”
Tang Nian bowed. “Please be careful.”
She retreated a step, and without so much as a gesture to trigger its mechanisms, the faceless puppet moved at her silent command.
Click! Its sword-box cracked open, revealing three blades on each side. The puppet grabbed a sword in each of its two hands; then, four extra arms sprouted from its back, taking hold of the other four blades.
It stamped the ground. Snow sprayed up in a wild surge, like a meteor strike, blanketing the courtyard in a swirling white cloud. Suddenly, a fearsome silhouette emerged from the haze, six swords flashing in a deadly, intersecting web of cold light.
Such a barrage of killing intent would force anyone to take it seriously. For example, a newly risen sixth rank like Zhao Xiantong would never dare to meet it head-on. It was approaching the upper limits of seventh rank power.
But Li Yuan only closed his eyes.
