Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The dust slowly dissipated and Mingjue and the other Mythic Masters were finally able to see the two people within.
Dou Lingzhen frowned right away; as a Martial Ancestor his eyes were as sharp as a hawk. When he gathered true qi within his eyes, he could see many miles away, just so dust wasn’t able to block his vision.
First he was filled with doubt, and then in the next mont he swept across Zong Shou’s face, as well as Chuxue’s cat ears. His expression was one of loss. “You are the Gantian Mountain Prince?”
That face was really similar, not long ago he had seen it in the drawings sent by Yunxia Mountain. A few breaths ago he was even planning to rob this person of his riches!
Who knew that just a short while later that person would be in front of him! He couldn’t help but feel delight; wasn’t this mine the best place to kill soone?
He was filled with many questions. The teen in front of him didn’t have any internal energy or soul power, and as expected from the rumors, he had dual ridians and couldn’t cultivate.
However, the spiritual sword that cut off Mingjue’s arm had to be the workings of a spirit master who could at least control weapons from afar. Three stone puppets whose strength was comparable to nine-ridian Mythic Masters also needed one to be at least Out of Body Realm to activate.
He instinctively thought that it was controlled by the Tiger Cat race girl beside him. But observing closely, he noticed that she was just a Mythic Master at peak 9th rank. The soul power she gave out was really normal and shouldn’t be at the Spirit Cultivation Realm.
So who was controlling that spiritual sword and the three puppets? A whole bunch of questions filled his mind.
Mingjue was also startled as he looked carefully at Zong Shou, his eyes burning like fire. When his line of sight swept past Chuxue, it lit up. Touching the wound at his left hand, his face couldn’t help but twist, laughing evilly, “Who cares who he is! Capture that man alive; I want to light him up and burn him for ten days to avenge the hatred of my broken hand. I also want that girl, coincidentally my Demon Spirit Flag lacks one blood slave!”
Dou Lingzhen ca to his senses when he heard that, and couldn’t help but laugh. Who cares who the ones controlling the spiritual sword and three stone puppets were, or what was going on, as long as they captured them?
A bright glow shining in his eyes, he casually threw out a hand sign. The twenty strong bows behind him instantly thrumd, twenty finger-sized arrows shot through the air. In just a breath, nurous sharp arrows filled with internal energy shot out.
Following closely behind were the two Xiantian Masters wearing heavy armor. Their movents were like spiritual cats roaming the mountains, swift and light, defending against the Black Wave Sword floating in mid air while also quickly getting close.
The arrows only hit the three stone puppets, and instantly stone shrapnel flew in all directions, ringing constantly from the impacts. The arrows brought with them huge power and forced the huge bodies of the puppets back.
Anxiety rose in Chuxue’s eyes. However Zong Shou was still not reacting, his mind wandering off.
Seeing the score of arrows fly over, and the three puppets were riddled with holes, unable to block them all, only that stone piece was strong enough, but could only deflect less then half of the arrows. Chuxue imdiately wanted to block in front of Zong Shou.
However just as she was about to move, a powerful hand grabbed onto her. Turning around her head, she saw Zong Shou smiling as he looked forwards. The hesitation in his eyes had disappeared and all that remained was helplessness, coldness, and determination.
Chuxue heaved a sigh of relief, but was also shocked. The feeling Zong Shou gave her now was really different. Before this, no matter when he scolded her or played with her, she would feel really close to him. Although he was smiling now, in her eyes he didn’t seem human, like he was devoid of emotions and completely cold.
She felt a chill down her spine, the nearby temperature suddenly dropped. The wind in here was already cold, but nowhere near as what was sweeping into their bones, freezing the blood.
In the next mont she only heard Zong Shou say expressionlessly, “Xue’er close your eyes!”
Chuxue was startled. At such a ti she could die at any instant, how could she close her eyes? She didn’t have the ability to fight blind!
Hesitating for a mont before doing so. Zong Shou’s voice was exceptionally serious and solemn. No matter what, she would listen to his instructions, whether she lived or died.
Everything in front of her was dark, in her ears she only heard “Keng” sounds. Chuxue tried to use her mind to deduce and differentiate and it was actually the sound of the Lightning Tooth Sword being pulled out of its sheath. This incomplete Spiritual Weapon was now wrapped by Little Gold, flying up in mid air and suspended in front of him.
Zong Shou’s voice broke out once more, “Rember, without instructing you, definitely don’t open your eyes...”
Chuxue was startled once more. What is happening, why can’t she watch? Her heart sinking and so bad thoughts rose in her heart. If Young Master knew he had no chance of winning and decided to go all out, asking her not to see was to protect herself...
All of a sudden her heart was in a ss. Her eyelids twitched as she struggled.
At this mont, Zong Shou didn’t have anything in his mind.
This sword that he sealed up was sothing he really didn’t want to use. However, in today’s circumstances he had no choice but to use it.
Sighing slightly, the yin cold energy around him beca much thicker.
The moss around the two streams was withering quickly. A deathly aura wrapped his right hand.
“The water of the river of death, blue cold waves...” Zong Shou said softly as his hand reached out and grabbed onto the Lightning Tooth Sword. His right hand had actually turned white, like a dead man. His entire person didn’t have any signs of life, all the hair on his head had turned ashen white.
When his true qi struck it, it gave out another echo. On the Lightning Tooth Sword, lightning shone, the world shocking true energy of fire and water entangled together seeped out from the tip of the sword.
It rged with that white energy, there was no discord and no repulsion.
The water of the river of death, cold blue waves where the energy of the dead gathered. The power of death was sothing mixed up together with the laws of Heaven. Anything could cause death. Be it tal, wood, water, fire, earth or things like light, darkness, yin, yang, wind, lightning, and so on, they all had the power of death.
Which was why everything was really harmonious, resonating with one another and mixing all together!
The light ringing sound continued. The sword light waved, bringing with it a grey shadow. The gathered up cold yin energy and the white death energy was like a true river of death, surging in his underground space.
“Yin river gathers, the gates of the nine spirits. This sword connects to the underworld, signalling your death!”
Along with this sound, it seed like Zong Shou had disappeared from his world, rging with this raging river of death into one being.
The first to feel Zong Shou’s change, apart from Chuxue who was hesitating about whether or not to open her eyes, were the two Xiantian Masters who were originally filled with killing intent. Their eyes contracted and they revealed looks of terror.
At that mont, the grey sword shadow suddenly moved. Like a flash of purple lightning, this sword stabbed out from the darkness, arriving in front of their faces in a ghostly manner.
Even if the two of them had heavy armor, it was useless. They even couldn’t feel the armor pieces on their neck being sliced like tofu, just a chill at their necks.
They felt a chill go down their spine. By the ti they were able to react, a person wrapped by grey-white death energy passed them, not pausing for a mont.
In that short mont they realized that they actually didn’t die, and there was also no blood from the wound.
Just as they joyously exchanged glances with one another, they were shocked as they stood dumbfounded, looking at one another.
The person opposite them was withering and drying up at a shocking speed. Not only couldn’t they use any energy, their skin was growing old and decomposing swiftly.
The entire process filled them with fear and despair.
They only had one thought in their mind: -What sword is that? How is it so scary and so overbearing?-
Zong Shou was still travelling swiftly. Using the power of the external pill, one jump of his was a hundred feet. The sword shone and easily blocked all the arrows shot at him.
A hundred feet crossed in an instant. Dou Lingzhen’s expression was ashen white as he looked at that grey white sword, fear actually appearing in his eyes. He felt that the situation was really weird. The pale white shadow in front of him was extrely dangerous!
-The Gantian Mountain Prince was said to be trash, how could he cultivate? And he is a double cultivator and has an Out of Body Realm cultivation?
-Where did his sword technique co from? So weird?-
Without having any ti to think, Mingjue threw out several talismans. They turned into fire dragons in the air and bit out. The claws in his sleeves also shot out to grab at Zong Shou.
That grey sword light flashed and the fire dragons all disappeared without a trace. When the second sword was waved out, the dozen claw chains were all destroyed.
In front of that grey-white sword, everything decomposed like wood, and would be easily broken!
“Dark sword! Are you Yunxia Mountain ‘Dark Sword’ Lu Qing?”
When he said that, Dou Lingzhen felt that it wasn’t correct. Lu Qing was said to be a burly man close to forty. The boy wasn’t even fifteen and it shouldn’t be so easy to disguise himself.
This sword, although it was of Xiantian cultivation, the sword’s strength made him feel an unprecedented death intent, reaching into his heart.
No matter how one tried to fight back, to block this sword, one wouldn’t be able to change the outco.
This sword was many tis stronger than that Dark Sword Lu Qing.
