Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl
Chapter 745 One Slash! [1st Update]

Chapter 745: 745 One Slash! [1st Update]

This voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, seemingly devoid of any lethality or aggression.

However, despite its lightness, the sense of oppression was overwhelming.

Ouya only felt his scalp tingling, and his hair standing on end!

He had absolutely no idea when someone appeared behind him!

What terrified him even more was that the Master of Highest Heaven Tower was indeed still alive and had approached him without anyone noticing.

Ouya’s spine went rigid, and he didn’t dare to turn his head.

Though his name came from the ninth angel in mythical legends, with power far surpassing mortals, only Ultimate Martial Artists could compare to him in combat.

But after all, he wasn’t an angel, nor a god.

His body had been strengthened through the baptism of the Heaven-reaching Tower, but it was still flesh and blood.

"Threatening me with the lives of a thousand people to make me come out?" The voice from behind chuckled softly, "Do you think you’re worthy?"

Ouya’s face tightened, and he clenched his fists, muscles bulging: "So what, you still came out! The Sky Tower Master was right in his calculations after all."

"I came to kill you," Yan Tingfeng raised his brow, smiling, "Only blood is the best nourishment."

A long saber appeared in his hand.

This long saber was ancient, evidently having withstood many hardships, a weapon with age.

As the long saber was raised, the air currents surged violently.

Black light flowed from the blade, where it went, lightning encircled, and thunder rumbled.

The energy this saber invoked was stronger than the vortex power Ouya had created earlier.

"Swoosh!"

The vortex was instantly swallowed by a denser darkness, and between heaven and earth, only this saber remained.

"Rong Si, look quickly!" Mei En’s pupils contracted, "There it is."

Ye Wanlan naturally saw it too, her eyes slightly changing.

This saber...

"Swish!"

The long saber swung down completely, stirring heaven and earth, reversing the cosmos.

The immense power forced Mei En to continuously retreat, sand swirling about, making it impossible for her to open her eyes.

But Ye Wanlan watched closely, her pupils reflecting the fierce saber light.

Suddenly, Ouya found his body immobile.

Moreover, all his power seemed sealed, unable to be unleashed.

No, it wasn’t sealed, it was intimidation.

The oppressive force of this saber was too strong, completely ignoring Ouya’s defenses.

The Master of Highest Heaven Tower’s sword technique originally derived from the Heavenly Movements Nine Swords.

The path of the Sword Saint allows for breaking myriad techniques with a single sword.

Using a saber as a sword, one slash could cleave heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

Saber light and thunder descended together!

"Thud—!"

This slash directly felled the ninth underling of the Sky Tower Master.

Ouya spewed a mouthful of blood skyward, his face ashen with disbelief.

The Sky Tower Master claimed even if the Master of Highest Heaven Tower were still alive, his power would certainly be greatly diminished.

He just needed to lure out the Master of Highest Heaven Tower and hold him off, and the Heaven-reaching Tower would naturally have a way to completely kill the Master of Highest Heaven Tower.

But this former Supreme Martial Arts Master of Shenzhou did not give him this chance at all.

How could it be... he actually...

Blood continued to seep from the corner of Ouya’s mouth, countless thunderbolts crashing down on him, shattering his body completely.

His consciousness completely dissipated into the heavens and earth, his soul shattered as well.

This was the power of a single slash from the Master of Highest Heaven Tower.

Power Angel, Ouya, perished!

With Ouya’s death, the dark sky cleared, the sun reappeared, light falling and illuminating the earth.

"Is it over?" Mei En was stunned, "What just happened?"

Ye Wanlan remained silent, gazing at the empty midair, her eyes deepening little by little: "It’s over, I’m considering a possibility."

Mei En asked: "What possibility?"

Ye Wanlan raised her hand, catching a falling leaf fragment: "The Master of Highest Heaven Tower is indeed still alive."

Mei En’s heart shook, after a moment, she murmured: "The possibility is very high."

Since Princess Yongning was confirmed to still be alive, why couldn’t the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, who was her equal, also be alive?

"So..." Mei En was somewhat shocked, "The reason it ended is because the Master of Highest Heaven Tower appeared and hunted down the enemy?"

But it all happened in just a matter of seconds!

The Master of Highest Heaven Tower was indeed overwhelmingly formidable.

"Yes, and it wasn’t actually him," Ye Wanlan said softly, "It was his Divine Thought."

Mei En was taken aback: "That means he’s not actually in the Northern Lands, but merely through a single Divine Thought, defeated the people of the Heaven-reaching Tower?"

Martial Artists who reached a certain level indeed could possess powerful Divine Thoughts.

The Great Ancestor Ning could leave behind his remnants precisely because of his profound cultivation.

The Master of Highest Heaven Tower, as Jianghu’s No.1, was even more unmatched in the world.

No wonder they didn’t see a third person here.

"Correct." Ye Wanlan observed the surroundings, her gaze solemn, "But this method also greatly harms him, after all..."

After all, she clearly knew what role the Master of Highest Heaven Tower played in the Battle of Ten Thousand Armies.

It could be said that without him, those enemies would not have been repelled.

Ye Wanlan gently blinked, tears suddenly fell.

"Don’t... don’t be sad!" Seeing the girl’s tears, Mei En felt completely at a loss for the first time, "We, aren’t we all still alive and well? And this news is great for you and Shenzhou!"

"No." Ye Wanlan wiped away her tears with a soft smile, "I’m happy."

She was indeed happy.

In her past life, while she was alive, she never encountered the Master of Highest Heaven Tower face to face.

Most of her understanding of him came from family and friends, and intelligence gathered by Tianji Pavilion.

But who was the Master of Highest Heaven Tower?

A young man with no Jianghu background, becoming a Supreme Martial Arts Master purely through martial skill.

The intelligence on him was information he deliberately released, wanting outsiders to know.

So, as the Master of Highest Heaven Tower didn’t know the real Princess Yongning, she too had never seen the real Master of Highest Heaven Tower.

Yet in past historical visuals, she had the fortune to glimpse him.

They were fundamentally two people on different paths, destined to clash in the future.

But their standpoints were the same, they were both for Shenzhou.

For Shenzhou, they would spare no effort.

"That’s good; you scared me." Mei En sighed with relief, still puzzled, "But with just his Divine Thought there, then where is he, truly?"

"No matter where he is, I will find him," Ye Wanlan said softly, "If I don’t find him quickly..."

She feared he couldn’t hold on for much longer.

Meanwhile, at the Extreme Path Headquarters.

Blood trickled from the corner of Yan Tingfeng’s lips, shocking sight.

His body seemed to bear immense pain, black lines already covered his entire back, still spreading.

Even his pale fingers showed black markings, an alarming sight.

"Boss!" The Right Protector was startled, "Boss, are you okay?"

Just a second ago, he and the Left Protector were still reporting recent intel to Yan Tingfeng.

How, in the next second, had their boss seemed so badly injured?

Could it be an enemy had invaded the Extreme Path Headquarters without their knowing?!

"It’s okay." Yan Tingfeng slowly closed his eyes, "Next, the Heaven-reaching Tower will quiet for a while, but I also need to rest, don’t tell Xiao Wan."

After saying this, he entered a state of meditation.

But the Right Protector felt no comfort from this statement, only complete unease because he couldn’t detect Yan Tingfeng’s breathing or heartbeat at all.

Sitting before him looked like someone long dead.

"Old Zuo..." The Right Protector stared vacantly at the Left Protector, "The boss said the Heaven-reaching Tower will quiet for a while, what does that mean?"

The Left Protector was also somewhat uneasy, thinking deeply: "Could it be the boss did something to the Heaven-reaching Tower just now, causing it significant energy loss, so it has to quiet down?"

"Possible!" The Right Protector nodded, "But what exactly did the boss do?"

At this time, the Heaven-reaching Tower was utterly silent, the atmosphere tense to the extreme.

"Sky Tower Master..." Modi’s body trembled; he spoke with difficulty, "Ouya... was killed by the Master of Highest Heaven Tower."
