Chapter 221 - 221: 220. I’m Waiting for You!
The guilt on Shi Jing’s face became even stronger.
They walked to the innermost part of Flickering.
Then, he saw a black-robed youth sitting cross-legged on a stone bed.
His right sleeve was also half empty, and his arm was like a stone mirror, broken at the elbow.
His eyes were tightly shut, his face was covered in cold sweat, and his body was even trembling slightly.
In his body, the extremely ferocious and terrifying sword intent that could cut off everything was surging but it was trapped in his body and couldn’t escape.
Streaks of faint golden sword light formed a tangible cage that surrounded the stone bed, helping the black-robed youth suppress the sword intent in his body.
Beside him stood a ruddy old man.
The old man looked at the black-robed youth with a kind expression and praised, “”Much better than last time.”
The black-robed youth looked pained, but he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound. He only nodded slowly and firmly.
“Just a few more moments.” There was encouragement in the old man’s tone, but there was a hint of worry in the depths of his eyes that was difficult for outsiders to notice.
Si Huaifei and Shi Jing, who had rushed in, nodded.
Si Huaifei and the other man bowed to the old man in unison, then stood silently at the side, looking at the black-robed youth with concern.
A moment later, the old man stretched out his hand and made a sword gesture with his index and middle fingers. His fingertip gently tapped the Baihui acupoint on the top of the black-robed youth’s head.
The young man’s body trembled, and then a golden light seemed to be about to seep out of his body.
He seemed to have turned into a rising sun.
The sunlight shone for a moment before gradually receding. The pain on the black-robed youth’s face disappeared, but he also fainted. His expression was calm, just like a baby.
Shi Jing quickly stepped forward to support his body and let him lie down on the stone bed.
Si Huaifei looked at the old man and said, ‘”‘Master, the Demon Empress has agreed to the ten-day battle you proposed.”
The old man in front of him was the former number one of the righteous path of the Central Plains, Sword Emperor Tao WangJi.
‘ Alright. ” He nodded slightly. ” We finally have some time. I hope the starlight can stabilize. ‘
As he spoke, the old man turned to his eldest disciple, Si Huaifei, and said, “”When I’m not around, I’ll need Huaifei to help Starlight stabilize the situation.
You have always been steady, and I believe that you won’t let your guard down.
However, I still have to say one more thing. You must be prepared.”
“Yes, Master. Disciple will remember it in his heart.” Si Huaifei replied.
Sword Emperor Tao WangJi’s gaze fell on Xie Xingmang, who had fallen into a deep sleep.” Don’t blame me for being long-winded. Starlight’s step forward is a great opportunity for him, but it could be a catastrophe for the world. ‘
Noticing that his little disciple Shi Jing’s face was even more ashamed, Tao
WangJi said, “Calm down.”
When Shi Jing heard this, his entire body trembled. He bowed and said,”This disciple is stupid, and Master is worried about me.”
“Speaking of responsibility, the biggest responsibility lies with me. I didn’t recover as fast as the Demon Emperor, so I let you take on my responsibility.” Tao WangJi said.
He looked at his three remaining disciples and sighed slightly. He didn’t continue to talk about this and said,” The Starlight Sword Force has gone too far and has gone to the extreme. That’s why today’s matter has happened. Your Sword Comprehensions are relatively calm, so I’m not worried. I just hope that you two won’t go to the extreme.
Si Huaifei and Shi Jing both bowed and answered, ‘”‘1 will follow Master’s instructions.”
They looked at the sleeping Xie Xingmang and felt a sense of sorrow.
Xie Xingmang was known as the ‘Ultimate Sword’. His sword aura was extremely sharp and decisive, and his killing intent was awe-inspiring. He had always been a little different among the disciples of the Sword Pavilion.
The Sword Emperor Tao WangJi had hoped to correct it in his early years, but Xie Xingmang had his own persistence in swordsmanship, so Tao Wangli could only admonish him.
For many years, nothing had happened.
Until this time, he suffered a huge setback at the hands of the Demon Sect.
Xie Xingmang had been fighting against opponents stronger than him since he was young. He had suffered quite a few losses and was covered in injuries.
Truth be told, although he had lost his right arm and was tortured by the Demon Cult, he could still bear it.
However, Xie Xingmang’s attitude finally changed after learning that his Second Senior Brother Xiang Ping and Third Senior Brother Nie Hua had met with misfortune.
Guilt, anger, hatred, sadness, and the rejection of his own powerlessness made his already extreme sword intent advance further.
He was a genius of the sword path, and his talent and comprehension were peerless.
The change in his temperament allowed him to break through some kind of taboo bottom line and dive all the way into the abyss.
His extremely fierce sword intent had advanced a step further, reaching a whole new realm.
However, it was also a power that he could not control at the moment.
If he lost control, this terrifying sword intent that could sever everything would only end his own life first.
Fortunately, the few of them finally met their master, Tao WangJi, on the way back.
Sword Emperor Tao WangJi made a move and stabilized Xie Xingmang’s rebellious cultivation. Otherwise, Si Huaifei might have been able to kill him, but he wouldn’t have been able to save him.
” According to Huaifei’s description, after Wang Jian’s sword intent transformed, it also carried some shadow of the Twelve Nether Swords. “However, his sword intent is more like the Annihilation Sword, while the starlight is the Absolute Sword,” said Tao WangJi.
Si Huaifei and Shi Jing pondered over their teacher’s words.
” That’s not a sword technique that should exist in the mortal world. I only know a little about it, but I’m sure that this sword is extremely ferocious and has a strong killing intent that surpasses all sword techniques in the mortal world. ” Tao WangJi said, ” The Twelve Swords of the Nether World. To be precise, they should be called the Twelve Forms of the Nether Extermination
Sword Intent. There are three forms of each of the four swords, Nether, Dark, Destruction, and Absolute. Rumor has it that there’s the Ferocious Sword of
Absolute. The end point of the sword of starlight seems to point to this move.
He looked at Xie Xingmang and said, ” However, be it Wang Jian or Xingmang, their sword intents only have some shadows of the Twelve Nether Swords. They can’t be considered the real Twelve Nether Swords.
Therefore, there is still room for negotiation for the Starlight. It is not impossible for him to control such a supreme sword in the future. However, it is still too early for him now. As a result, a man who controls a sword will become a sword that controls a man. It will bring disaster instead.”
“The Sword Emperor once said that the sword technique he used before he died might be related to the Demon Emperor,” Shi Jing said in a low voice.
According to the recent news from the Divine Boat, the Empress Yan Mingkong was also extremely fierce when she attacked with her sword.
The Demonic Sect might have also obtained some of the inheritance of the
Twelve Nether Swords. Master, you are about to fight with the Demon Emperor, so you must be on guard.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful,” said Tao WangJi.
As he spoke, the old man’s expression suddenly changed.
After concentrating, he opened his mouth and sent out his voice,”Which guest, why don’t you show yourself?”
After a moment, Si Huaifei’s expression changed slightly as well, and he turned to look at the cave entrance.
A middle-aged man walked into the cave.
His right hand was hidden in his sleeve and behind his back.
“The sword technique from the Book of Heavenly Sword, and with such pure cultivation, you must be the Sword Pavilion Master, Tao WangJi?”
Sword Emperor Tao WangJi looked at him quietly and said, “This old man is Tao WangJi, how should I address you?”
“My surname is Cheng, Cheng Huyuan, ” the middle-aged man replied.
He had lived in the south for many years and had walked to the Heavenly River before. Although he had never seen the old man before, he had always admired the Heavenly River.
Please don’t take offense at my visit today.”
Si Huaifei and Shi Jing became suspicious after hearing his words.
The south had always been occupied by the Demonic Sect.
However, he had never heard of such a person.
Not to mention, even though he hadn’t made a move, he could still feel that this person’s cultivation level was high. It seemed to have surpassed the 13th realm.
How could such a God Realm Martial Emperor be unknown in the Divine Lands?
If it was someone from the Demonic Sect, then the Demonic Sect would not have to wait until recently to sweep through the Divine Prefecture.
“Cheng?” Tao WangJi’s white eyebrows slightly raised. ” I’m not a direct descendant of the Heavenly River. It’s normal that you’ve never seen it before. However, I’ve heard of your surname. As for your self-proclaimed name…”
Cheng Huyuan smiled and nodded.
Then, as if to prove something, a faint light appeared on his body.
Different from the Sword Emperor’s Vast Heaven Divine Sword, the radiance on Cheng Huyuan’s body was domineering.
The light seemed to burn like a flame.
Si Huaifei and Shi Jing exchanged glances.
This concept was different from the Demonic Sect’s Great Sun Heavenly King Technique.
Without the concept of the sun, it was just pure flames.
However, it seemed to be a flame that was even more domineering than the sun.
“Glory Score.” “It’s similar to the rumors I’ve heard before. Unfortunately, my eyes are shallow, so it’s hard for me to tell the truth.” Tao WangJi nodded.
” The real can’t be faked, and the fake can’t be real, just like this king’s Glory
Score and the Book of Heavenly Sword that you comprehended. ” “However, This King is actually here for that Chen Luoyang of the Ancient Gods Clan,” said Cheng Huyuan.
When Si Huaifei and Shi Jing heard this, they were even more confused.
However, the two of them didn’t make a sound at this moment. They just silently stood by Xie Xingmang’s side, letting their master Tao WangJi deal with the other party.
‘ It just so happens that Old Mister and Chen Luoyang also have a conflict, ‘
Cheng Huyuan continued. ” Therefore, This Prince feels that we can join forces.
“What plans does Your Highness have?” Tao WangJi asked.
If This King didn’t guess wrongly, Chen Luoyang’s challenge to Old Mister was more or less to lure This King out. ” Cheng Huyuan said, ” He also knows of my existence and is on guard. The battle in ten days is more of a killing plot against me. I don’t mean to be disrespectful. It’s just that the old gentleman is in the open and I’m in the dark. He’s naturally more willing to get rid of me first.
“Then what does Your Highness mean?” Tao WangJi asked.
Cheng Huyuan said, ” It’s better to strike first. Before the ten days are up, you and I will join forces and launch a surprise attack on Chen Luoyang. There’s no need to be restrained when dealing with this kind of evil. It’s best not to tie your own hands and feet.
“Forgive me for not being able to cooperate with Your Highness ‘plan.” Tao WangJi shook his head.
“Old mister, do you not trust this king?” “I have other ways to prove my identity,” Cheng Huyuan said.
Tao WangJi said, ” Your Highness, you’re too kind. I naturally trust your words, but as you can see, my disciple is in a critical situation, and can’t leave my care. I set the ten-day deadline out of helplessness. If possible, I only hope that this time can be as long as possible. ‘
Cheng Huyuan stared at him for a while before nodding slightly.” Since that’s the case, I won’t force you. I can only wish you success in the battle ten days later. Since you want to take care of your disciple, I won’t disturb you anymore.
I’ll take my leave now. ‘
“I will do my best for the battle in ten days.” “Take care, Your Highness.” Tao Wangli nodded.”Forgive me for not being able to send you off.”
“Huaifei, send His Highness off on behalf of Master,” he said to Si Huaifei.
” Yes, Master. ” Si Huaifei left with Cheng Huyuan.
Cheng Huyuan didn’t say another word. He calmly left the cave and left Jade Spoon Island.
As he crossed the sea, he thought about what to do next.
However, halfway through, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart.
In the distant horizon, a fiery red Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud was clearly waiting for him!
