Elian’s expression was solemn, with a hint of dread deeply hidden in his eyes. He yelled, “Everyone abandoned the city wall!”

No one seemed to disagree with Elian’s decision after they saw and experience Elder Kole’s weapon intent.

Elian and some other knowledgeable fellows knew comprehending a weapon’s intent wasn’t a joke or one can’t just comprehend a weapon’s intent just because they wanted.

Weapon Intent was like a special type of Qi that can only be comprehended with a weapon and a top level of weapon mastery and battle sense. Some try to comprehend a weapon-intent for their entire life but fail, while some unknowingly comprehend it.

A weapon intent was like a lucky opportunity that can only come suddenly and if one could grasp it at that moment, they’ll instantly soar to heaven, or they’ll regret it if they miss that moment.

However, anyone who could comprehend a weapon-intent was considered a genius among geniuses of a weapon path, even in the demon race. These geniuses who comprehend the Weapon Intents were known as Weapon Cultivators!

A weapon cultivator who has comprehended a weapon intent was invincible in the same realm and can even fight across realms. Supposedly, a weapon cultivator has to be fearless, or it will directly affect their intent.

Furthermore, it was very hard to block an attack filled with weapon intent. That’s why there was a saying in the cultivation world, ‘only a weapon intent can encounter a weapon intent to fullest’.

Now the Iron Demon Tribe was fighting a war against an enemy who had a weapon intent eccentric among their ranks, so how could Elian not feel discouragement?

All he can do now was to abandon the city wall and try to get rid of this weapon cultivator as soon as possible, or this war was nothing but a lost cause!

To the west of this battlefield,

A big snowfall wolf was resting under a large tree, and there was a demon sitting cross-legged right beside him.

New Moon’s expression was somber as he looked at a cube in his hand.

He suddenly mumbled with a hint of relief, “He hasn’t comprehended the full saber intent, and only comprehends half saber intent, or that wall would’ve cut in half by now if he had comprehended the full saber intent just like that person!”

New Moon, a demon duke, suddenly shuddered at this moment as a scary memory surfaced in his mind.

“It seemed that old demon is at the end of his lifespan and by some fluke, he comprehended the half saber intent, or he won’t be such a minor character of a rankles tribe. A pity. If he was younger, even demon kings would fight just to gain his allegiance!”

New Moon shook his head in pity and again started to observe the battle. He knew anyone with some experience will have the same thought as him, or even he would have to treat this old demon with respect if he was filled with potential!

On the east side,

Henrik also had the same reaction as New Moon, from a momentary shock to pity.

He knew Duke Livy might’ve known about this saber cultivator and his limited potential, or Duke Livy will offer this saber cultivator anything for his loyalty.

Nevertheless, it made this war challenge more interesting with this saber cultivator who had comprehended half saber intent. Many can benefit from it in the path of weapon cultivation.

However, unbeknownst to anyone, four hundred meters away from Henrik’s carriage, right behind an old tree, a hooded figure was standing there like a status without any concealment or any protection.

This was Ace without his stealth active!

A vague dark mist was whirling around his fingers, which he didn’t have any idea about. He had fallen completely into a trance after he saw the saber attack of Elder Kole.

Ace suddenly felt like a lightning struck him out of the blue, and he suddenly felt in this state as Dual Shadow Swords Technique active on its own!

Ace had stuck in the first realm of this technique for a long time and even after he felt he was very close to a breakthrough, he couldn’t achieve it no matter how much he mulled over it or practice it.

In the end, he completely stopped caring about it and thought when the time come he’ll naturally breakthrough.

However, he never expected to witness a weapon intent here and then suddenly felt enlightened because of it. This was like an ultimate piece of the puzzle that fell in its place and Ace felt in this state and his stealth also disappeared because of it!

Now, he was completely defenseless and wide-open. If Henrik wasn’t paying close attention to the war battle and had his martial sense active, he might’ve noticed a vague fluctuation from behind!

However, contrary to anyone’s expectation, a palm-size bluebird which seemed harmless was scrutinizing Ace with its intelligent bubbly eyes, from the very moment he abruptly appeared out of the thin air!

Furthermore, his thief symbol, the dark owl, was fully revealed because he was facing the tree while his back was wide open.

Suddenly, the second bird in red color also turned its small head toward Ace’s figure and started to observe him from another direction. Both birds were now watching him from left and right.

Thereupon, the dark mist whirling around Ace’s hands turned into small dark blades and both of these blades have a pitch-black sheen on their edges just like Elder Kole, the only difference was Kole had a white sheen while Ace’s was pitch black.

Ace, who was staring into the void, suddenly come back to his sense, and those two dark blades of Qi suddenly released from his hands toward the dense forest.

Ace was bewildered as he saw those two dark blades moving through some trees before completely vanishing into the forest.

However, the very next moment, those trees which were merely fazed or pierced through by those two Qi blades started to fall and one could see clean cut from their barks as if they were not trees but kinds of butter!

Ace’s eyes suddenly flashed with ecstasy when he discerned what has happened just now, and the system’s voice just confirmed it.

“[Congratulation host on comprehending the second realm ‘Sword of Finger’ of Dual Shadow Swords Technique!]”

However, his joy was short-lived when he suddenly felt enveloped by a powerful martial sense and a mountain-like pressure locked on him.

“Come out!” Henrik’s cold voice sounded at this moment.

‘Shit, this is really a plight!’ Ace cursed when he finally remembered he was very close to a Qi soul realm cultivator, and his time to comprehend the second realm of dual shadow-swords techniques could not be any worse than now.

Henrik was coldly looking at the tree where Ace was hiding right now. He had noticed the commotion from behind and when he used his martial sense; he found a person hiding behind that tree.

Henrik naturally thought someone was trying to sneak up on him since he can’t sense the other party’s cultivation and this greatly alarm him. That’s also why he didn’t attack directly.

At this moment, Henrik saw a tall demon coming out from behind the tree. His skin was dark silver, while his appearance was handsome for a demon. His long silver hair was draped on his shoulder, and one could see deep fear in his silver eyeballs. He wore a long green robe with a black belt around his waist.

“You? You’re from Iron Demon Tribe?!” Henrik was astonished when he finally noticed the similarity.

‘How come I can sense his cultivation now, but not before?’ Henrik was puzzled by this strange anomaly.

But he had become completely easy after he deemed it was just a figment of his imagination because how could a Qi river realm ant fool him or even pose a threat to his life?

“M-my lord, please forgive me. I just don’t want to die th-that’s why I hide here. I’m just an exile, not one wanted me, please spare me, my lord!” Pablo kneel and pleaded for his life while crying his eyes out!

Henrik’s eyes shimmered with contempt when he saw this ‘coward’ hiding here while his tribe was fighting for their life. He hated this kind of person the most.

“Hmph! It seemed our demon race really started to decline since even cowards like you were born in our glorious race!” Henrik coldly harrumphed as he released the aura of a soul realm cultivator on Pablo.

Pablo started to tremble under pressure, while the ground beside him made cracking sounds. However, if one could pay attention, one will notice right underneath Pablo’s knees the ground was completely fine as if the pressure didn’t affect him at all.

But alas, Henrik was too prideful to even look straight at this cowardly demon, much less closely pay attention to him.

Inside, Ace had a sigh of relief and mused gravely, ‘Should I do it?!’
