Chapter 272: Awakening.
[Crack~]
The black sword light easily tore apart the gray-clothed man’s attempt of defending himself, and his domain immediately shattered upon contact.
“Not good!”
The gray-clothed man’s scalp was tingling. The moment he saw the black sword light, he felt an ominous feeling of death.
“[Sword Explosion]!”
The gray-clothed man steeled his heart and an illusory sword faintly appeared in the depths of his pupils. The sword then began shattering into pieces. As the sword broke, an unprecedented force would burst out of him. His strength soared. In an instant, he had regained his peak strength, the same level he was before he went to sleep. This was not all, with the passage of time, his strength was still continuously rising.
“You forced me.”
The gray-clothed man’s face was pale, but his aura became more and more violent.
The [Sword Explosion] was a forbidden technique in the Myriad Sword Sect. It used all of one’s Sword Dao Cultivation Base as fuel to forcefully increase one’s strength. The only flaw was that after using this forbidden technique, the gray-clothed man would fall into a deep sleep again, lose a lot of strength, or even die.
At this moment, the gray-clothed man was filled with unprecedented strength, he exuded power that could easily suppress an ordinary Peak Legend.
The other Ancestors, who were scared out of their minds from fear, saw this scene and suddenly relaxed. The strength that Su Qin had just shown was too terrifying. With just a slap, he killed their Ancestor as if he was some mere fly!
But now that the gray-clothed man had used the [Sword Explosion], there was no need for them to be filled with fear any longer.
Although the [Sword Blast] would not last long, it could at least temporarily hold Su Qin back and create a chance for the Ancestors to escape.
However, just as the Ancestors were waiting for the gray-clothed man to distract Su Qin and flee…
[Tear~]
Another black sword light flashed across the void, easily splitting the soaring True Essence and Divine Sense that was coming out of the gray-clothed man. It even sliced his whole body in half!
After the gray-clothed man performed the forbidden technique, his strength did increase sharply, but the Demon God’s Blade was even sharper, as it was related to the Demon Gods of the Cave World. Coupled with Su Qin’s True Essence powering it, even the Demon Dragon with a trace of True Dragon bloodline was cut, not to mention a mere human.
“I…”
The gray-clothed man opened his mouth and was just about to speak, only to find that he had already been split in two from his waist.
[Bang~]
The gray-clothed man’s Divine Sense tried to escape. However, a dark force tightly wrapped around his Divine Sense, gradually overwhelming it.
The next moment, under everyone’s shocked gaze, the Divine Sense of the gray-clothed man was destroyed.
“Too terrifying…”
The other Ancestors’ scalp was numb, and a huge wave was set off in their hearts.
It’s just that, before they could react, Su Qin had already attacked with the Demon God’s Blade again.
[Weng~]!!!
Several sword lights instantly formed and moved towards the Ancestors.
Presented with such a scene, the Ancestors all tried their best to resist. Some used the [Sword Explosion] like the gray-clothed man, while some took out magic weapons, in an attempt to block the incoming sword lights.
Unfortunately, with the sharpness of the Demon God’s Blade, these Ancestors, who once stood atop the overseas Martial Arts World, could not even last a second. They all followed the footsteps of the gray-clothed man. Their bodies were sliced in half, while their Divine Senses were destroyed.
At this moment, Su Qin looked at the last two Ancestors.
The two Ancestors had good insight and hid in the back early in the battle, hence surviving till now.
“Your Excellency, I was wrong…”
“I was not part of taking away the girl with the Sword Heart Body…”
The two Ancestors were so frightened that they started begging for mercy, without any regard of their status.
Unfortunately, since Su Qin had already decided to kill, he didn’t intend to stop near the end. At this time, he slowly raised the Demon God’s Blade again.
“Your Excellency, we are willing to lead the way to where the girl is!”
The two Ancestors swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said. This was their last trump card.
In the eyes of these two Ancestors, the reason why Su Qin started killing them was because of the girl with the Sword Heart Body. Therefore, they only need to tell Su Qin the news of the girl to arouse some reactions.
Alas, under the shocked gaze of the two Ancestors, Su Qin continued with his actions, without any intention to stop.
Finally, two sword lights flashed, cutting the last two Ancestors into two pieces. Their Divine Senses were quickly invaded by the dark force in the Demon God’s Blade.
Even until the last moment before their death, the two Ancestors were still full of doubts. Su Qin continued to decisively attack them. Could it be possible that he really didn’t care about the whereabouts of the girl?
If Su Qin knew of these two’s plans in using Li Wan, he would just throw them a disdainful smile.
He had already locked on Li Wan’s Internal Qi with the [Eyes of Truth] and knew her exact location.
It’s just that this was the place where Li Wan had stayed last, so Su Qin stopped here to learn the purpose of the Myriad Sword Sect, before going for the kill.
At this time, in front of the Bluestone Great Hall, where the Ancestors were killed, a dangerous atmosphere gradually permeated, almost turning the entire mountain peak into a forbidden land.
One must remember that any Peak Legend had insights of the Heavens and Earth. Upon their death, their aura, which was a mixture of the remnants of their Divine Sense, Qi and blood, would form a domain.
If ordinary Martial Artists strayed into this place, they would definitely be attacked with Heart Demons.
“You still dare to make trouble, even in death?”
Seeing this, Su Qin sneered. His thoughts moved. His vast Qi and blood washed all of the corners in the mountain peak.
Finally, Su Qin slowly raised his head and looked in a certain direction overseas.
“Primordial Spirit Body Possession…”
Su Qin’s eyes slightly narrowed.
After a Peak Legend condensed his Primordial Spirit, he would be freed from the restriction of his body and could freely travel the world as a Primordial Spirit.
However, if the Primordial Spirit wanted to maximize his combat power, he still needed a suitable body.
Not to mention, that Primordial Spirit alone was far from being enough if one wanted to step into the Earth Immortal Realm.
“It should be fairly safe.”
Su Qin remotely observed Li Wan’s Internal Qi with the [Eyes of Truth] and slightly nodded.
If Li Wan was possessed by the Sword Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit, her Internal Qi would have disappeared.
But since Su Qin could observe Li Wan’s Internal Qi, it means that Li Wan was safe at the moment.
“Myriad Sword Sect…”
Su Qin’s eyes were cold.
With his current strength, even in the face of an Earth Immortal, he still had the confidence to retreat, let alone facing the Myriad Sword Sect?
Thinking of this, Su Qin stepped forward and disappeared. He started moving towards the direction where Li Wan was.
- ווו
When the gray-clothed man and other Ancestors died, somewhere in the overseas Martial Arts World, on an island the size of several hundred li.
At the center of the island were nine peaks that resembled swords.
The Myriad Sword Sect Sect Master, who was sitting cross-legged and practicing his Cultivation technique silently, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a shocked expression.
“Several Ancestors…”
“How many Ancestors’ lives have just been extinguished?”
The Myriad Sword Sect Sect Master trembled all over.
His Divine Sense had enveloped the peak, when he suddenly discovered that the Fire of Life belonging to several Ancestors, who went to the battlefield, was silently extinguished.
The fall of an Ancestor was a fatal blow to Myriad Sword Sect.
Although the Myriad Sword Sect was founded by an Earth Immortal, their history, if compared with other Major Sects, were shorter and hence they were weaker.
Therefore, every Ancestor was extremely important. Losing an Ancestor could deteriorate the Myriad Sword Sect, even more so since several Ancestors had died in succession!
“This is big.”
The Myriad Sword Sect Sect Master was pale. He didn’t even dare to tell the Elders about this, because the news of the death of numerous Ancestors would definitely cause an uproar in the entire Sect, and perhaps make the Sect decline.
No one can bear such a consequence.
“Sword Ancestor…”
“The Sword Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit has begun to wake up!”
The Myriad Sword Sect Sect Master seemed to have thought of something, immediately getting up and went to the depths of the peak.
Standing in front of a huge altar, he said loudly, “28th Generation of Myriad Sword Sect Sect Master would like an audience with the Sword Ancestor.”
After a while, a hoarse voice sounded.
“What’s the matter?”
This voice did not exist in reality, as it rang directly in the Sect Master’s mind. At the same time, an illusory shadow, with his hands behind his back, appeared on the altar. The power of a Primordial Spirit was like the ocean, and it naturally caused the surroundings to become agitated.
“Sword Ancestor.”
“The Fire of Life belonging to several Ancestors’ who went to the battlefield, have been extinguished…” The Sect Master braced himself and said.
Once the Fire of Life goes out, it means a complete death. Even the Divine Sense did not escape.
When the Sect Master said this, the illusory shadow fell silent.
It was only after a while, did the illusory shadow ask: “How is the preparation of the Sword Heart Body?”
“Replying to the Sword Ancestor, several Ancestors found a Sword Heart Body in the battlefield not long ago, and it has already been sent to the Sect.”
The Sect Master hesitated for a moment, but ultimately continued: “Is the death of several Ancestors related to this matter?”
“It doesn’t matter anymore.”
The illusory shadow waved his hand and slowly said: “Go down and prepare. After 10 days, I will start the Body Possession.”
“Yes.”
The Sect Master suddenly became certain of his guess.
However, as long as the Sword Ancestor can seize the Sword Heart Body and restore his strength, the deterrence it would bring would definitely be far stronger than any Ancestor at the Peak Legend.
Thinking of this, the Sect Master quickly left the altar.
After returning to the Great Hall, the Sect Master calmed down.
“The Ancestors were all Peak Legends. Being able to kill that many Ancestors… could it be that other Sects joined forces?”
Thinking of this, the Sect Master frowned.
But he didn’t care too much about it now, because as soon as the Sword Ancestor finished his awakening, all plots against their Sect would vanish and disappear like smoke.
