Chapter 29: Better Late Than Never

  Seeing everyone's eyes gathered on himself, Haitian not only didn't have any tension, but instead smiled calmly: "The answer is simple, that's because my soul power is stronger than yours!"

  "What's this 'soul power'?" The middle-aged man in the green shirt furrowed his brow, he had never heard of such a term before. "Explain it to me, what is this 'soul power'?"

  "Soul power, as the name suggests, is the power of the soul. As a swordsman's strength increases, it also continuously strengthens. However, a small portion, like me, are innately extremely powerful from birth." Of course, these words were all nonsense made up by Haitian to deceive that middle-aged man in green clothes.

  He was able to see through the true strength of the Wind Sword King so easily, after all, relying on his sword recognition at the level of a Sword Emperor. However, the middle-aged man in green robes wasn't a fool either. If Haotian said he relied on his sword recognition, it would be obvious that there was something wrong with him.

  But to be serious, Hai Tian's words can't be considered complete nonsense. The soul is indeed mysterious and dangerous, and sword intent can be considered a kind of soul power.

  However, the middle-aged man in green clothes did not have so much research on the soul. He frowned and remained silent for a long time, looking like he had completely believed what Haitian said.

  "Little one, what is the highest level you can see through?" The middle-aged man in green suddenly asked.

  The sea and sky were stunned for a moment, and he immediately replied: "Only those below the Sword Emperor can be seen through, but those above the Sword Emperor cannot be seen through."

  The middle-aged man in the green shirt felt slightly relieved after hearing Haitian's words. If Haitian could easily see through both the Sword Emperor and the Sword Sect, then such a person would be too terrifying. But he didn't know that Haitian had already left a trump card.

  "Alright, I've answered you. Now can you take me away safely?" Seeing the middle-aged man in green clothes completely believing his own words, Hai Tian was secretly delighted, but there was no expression on his face.

  As soon as he heard this, Pa Li became anxious. If Hai Tian really left safely today, would he still have a chance to avenge himself?

  "Your Majesty Sword King, you can't take him away!" Parry rushed out with his hand covering his injured chest.

  The middle-aged man in the green shirt was originally dissatisfied with Pali, and had just been knocked out by him earlier. Seeing him come forward again to block his way, he felt extremely displeased.

  "You little brat of the Sa Lu family, I've already shown mercy to you just now. If you don't scram, don't blame me for not being polite! Even if your backer comes, I'll still kill you!" The middle-aged man in green clothes had a flash of coldness in his eyes, and his right hand slowly rose, a terrifying sword spirit power instantly condensed.

  However, Pari did not retreat as everyone had imagined, but instead gritted his teeth and stared at Haitian. He said to the Wind Sword King: "Senior, this kid killed my son, I absolutely cannot let him leave like this!"

  "Oh? You also killed someone else's son?" The middle-aged man in the green shirt turned his head back to look at Haitian.

  "Hmph! They want to kill me, don't they even allow me to fight back?" Hai Tian snorted coldly, this matter from the root is still Pa Li and others who are in the wrong.

  "Senior, such a great hatred, we can't live under the same sky, I hope you won't interfere with my revenge!" Pa Li glared fiercely at Hai Tian, his eyes filled with strong killing intent, not showing any of his previous weak appearance.

  "I can understand your feelings." The middle-aged man in the green shirt's words made Haitian's heart skip a beat, but his next sentence made Haitian completely relax, "But why should I listen to you?"

  Pa Li gritted his teeth and asked in a cold voice: "So, senior is determined to intervene in this matter?"

  "Hmph, what I, Koru, have said will never be retracted!" It was only then that Haitian knew that the Wind Sword King before him was actually named Koru.

  "Since you insist on intervening, I won't be polite anymore!" Parry's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and before his words had even fallen, he suddenly sprang into action, the sword spirit energy surging out from between his fingers.

  The target was not Kor, the Wind Sword King, but the Sea Sky not far from Kor.

  He had been using his sword to pay attention to Parry's movements in the sky, and as soon as he made a move, he knew it was bad. His body quickly dodged and weaved, but his current strength completely restricted his speed.

  As a five-star great swordmaster, Parry's strength was naturally unparalleled, and his speed was much faster than Haitian. Even though Haitian dodged first, the sword spirit energy released by Parry still reached in front of Haitian in just one breath.

  "Damn it!" Haitian cursed and decided to fight back since he couldn't hide.

  A small white sword spinning continuously above the dantian suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, directly bursting out of Haitian's body and violently colliding with the sword spirit energy released by Parri, producing a fierce sound.

  Bang!

  Koro, who was standing not far away, had originally intended to step in and rescue Haitian, after all, he had promised Haitian's conditions, to take him safely away. But when he saw the small white sword that Haitian emitted, he froze.

  "That's... Sword Spirit?" Koro raised an eyebrow in uncertainty.

  Although Haitian has made considerable efforts and also used the sword spirit, the huge gap in strength makes his counterattack appear so pale.

  After the collision, the dazzling white small sword instantly lost its original luster. Hai Tian also spat out a mouthful of thick blood from his chest, and his originally pale face turned even whiter.

  Luckily, he had put on the yellow class battle armor before coming, otherwise, with this blow, Haitian would have probably died already. However, even with the protection of the armor, Haitian's internal energy was still surging wildly, and he could barely stand upright.

  "Die, little one!" Seeing the sky and sea about to collapse, Pari's heart was even more shocked and delighted. He once again condensed a white sword aura and shot it out fiercely at Haitian.

  "Hmm! Stop!" But the white sword tip had not flown far before it was caught by Koru's hand, and with a squeeze, the pure sword spirit force that made up the sword tip instantly disintegrated.

  "How is this possible?" Parry stared blankly at Koru, who had suddenly appeared, his face filled with shock.

  Ke Lu's face was icy as he stared at Pali: "Didn't you hear me tell you to stop just now? Don't think I don't dare kill you!"

  "But... " Feeling the strong murderous intent, the people around had already tightly closed their mouths and didn't dare to speak, but Pari ignored the fear in her heart and continued to say.

  "Shut up! Didn't you hear what I said? If you disobey me again next time, I'll kill you without mercy!" Koru's gaze was fixed tightly on Parry's eyes, and the powerful Sword King's aura surged towards Parry.

  A cold sweat rolled down Parry's forehead, and he felt an infinite terror, his body seemingly completely unable to move. Was this the difference between a great swordsman and a sword king?

  Jian Pari seemed to have given up on resisting, and only then did Ke Lu turn around, his piercing gaze fixed on Hai Tian: "Youngster! Are you cultivating the 'Nine Heavenly Divine Sword Manual'?"

  Haitian, who was recovering from his internal injuries, was taken aback by these words and looked at Koro in surprise, before quickly regaining his composure. He hadn't expected Koro to also know of the existence of the "Nine Heavenly Sword Manual".

  But the hint of surprise in his eyes just now was completely caught by Koru, who had been paying attention to him all along.

  He slowly walked up to Haitian and coldly shouted: "Youngster, answer me! Are you practicing the 'Nine Heavenly Divine Sword Manual'?"

  "How did you know I was practicing the 'Nine Heavenly Divine Sword Technique'?" Haotian didn't answer, but instead asked back, and his words clearly acknowledged the technique he had been cultivating.

  "Hmph! Just now, when I saw the sword spirit you unleashed, I already understood. I didn't think that you, a young master, could actually obtain the cultivation method of the 'Nine Heavenly Divine Sword Manual'. It's only natural, although your Hai family has been abandoned, after all, it originated from that place." Koru seemed to be responding to Haitian's words, yet also seemed to be muttering to himself.

  However, the more Hai Tian listened, the more confused he became. Both Koro and Pari had mentioned several times that the Hai family was an abandoned clan. Who exactly was abandoned? And why were they abandoned?

  He was very puzzled.

  "Alright, young one, you can't go back now. You have to come with me!" Koro said coldly, his thoughts collected as he gazed at Haitian.

  "Take a trip? Where are you going to take me?" Haitian looked at Koru vigilantly, he didn't make any unnecessary resistance, he knew that with his current strength, he wouldn't be a match for Koru.

  Haitian's inquiry brought a rare smile to Koro's face, but this smile made Haitian feel even more eerie: "You'll know when you get there! Let's go!"

  Having said that, Koro didn't ask for Haitian's opinion and directly pulled his body off the ground and flew in a certain direction, with a piercing sonic boom sound echoing again, and in an instant, the two figures had completely disappeared.

  Everyone on the ground, including the white-robed old man, was stunned. Pari, in particular, let out a long sigh, and everyone knew about his frustration. This time, they came to attack the Li family, not only did they fail to retrieve the Xuanjie sword, but also lost Kasa.

  "Pa Li, you can leave now. Don't come to our Li family again in the future. This time I'm not giving you face, but giving face to the power behind you. If something like this happens again next time, don't blame me for destroying your Li family!" The white-robed old man said coldly. As soon as Koro left, he was the strongest expert here, and naturally had the right to speak.

  Having lost his beloved son, Pari no longer had the heart to continue fighting and immediately gathered his troops, preparing to leave.

  At this time, Xiaoyu led the Hai family's main force arrived.

  "Older brother, hurry! Right here!" Xiaoyu's voice was filled with anxiety and loud shouting, "Tiangge! We've come to rescue you, you must hold on!"

  However, when they noticed the scene in front of them, they were all stunned.

  Hai Wu Ya scanned the surroundings with a glance, but didn't find any sign of Hai Tian. A bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart, and he walked towards Pa Li who was about to retreat: "Where's Hai Tian?"

  "Hmph!" Pari gave a cold glance at Hai Wuya, her eyes filled with intense resentment, and left after a cold snort.

  This move made Hai Wuya, who had just arrived, confused and unclear about the situation in front of him.

  "What? Where did this guy go?"
