As the Universe Turns - Chapter 299
Chapter 299 Three Swords
Outside, the Snow Torment Wind Eater was gradually becoming confused. Everyone in the various sects saw him come out, and their spirits lifted. They saw him landing under the “Number One Under Heaven” Wind Cloud Tombstone. Looking at the people in front of them, there was actually no trace of fear in their eyes.
“Little friend Xiao is already prepared.”
Old man Zi Yi, whose name was Xu Ling, had a cold look in his eyes. As he spoke, he slowly drew out an immortal sword. Violet Qi shrouded the edge of the sword, making it clear that it was of extraordinary quality.
Xiao Chen remained silent. He slowly took out the “Cold Xi Sword” from his sleeve. Looking at the word “Cold Xi” on the hilt of the sword, he did not expect that the Villa Master of the Hidden Sword Villa had already picked out a sword for him.
Although this Cold Xi Sword was not a peerless good sword, it was not comparable to an Immortal Sword like Chong Xiao and Jing Zhe, but the coldness emitted from the sword at this moment was very consistent with his current state of mind.
“Zheng Zheng Zheng!”
There was a sharp sound in the wind and snow. Hundreds of people nearby took out their immortal swords. Looking at the dazzling sword lights and the wind and snow, Xiao Chen remained silent from beginning to end. The first time the Frost Sword was used by him, it seemed to resonate with his master. At the same time, it emitted a faint sword cry.
More and more people in the distance took out their Immortal Swords and held their breaths in silence. Although they wanted to kill Xiao Chen to avenge the death of their fellow disciples, in their hearts, they had no choice but to admire this young man. He knew that there were millions of people who wanted to kill him, but he still came to Zhongyue Peak today to end it with everyone.
The people of the various sects had already thought about it clearly. If he died here today, it would be his good fortune. If he left alive today, it would also be his good fortune. From now on, the sects would not seek revenge on him for what happened four years ago.
But today, he couldn’t leave this place. At least, the people from the various sects and sects present thought so.
“I will only use three swords. Whether you live or die after three swords is up to your good fortune.” Xu Ling held the purple sword in his hand, looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
At this moment, everyone held their breath and remained silent. They knew that Xu Ling’s three swords must be extraordinary. Even if Xiao Yichen caught three swords, if he was injured, it would be difficult for him to withstand the attacks of the crowd. Therefore, he had to receive the three swords without any injuries. However, it was very difficult for him to receive Xu Ling’s three swords without any injuries.
“Mr. Xu … please draw your sword.”
Xiao Chen also slowly picked up the Cold Xi Sword in his hand. His gaze landed motionlessly on Xu Ling. This person had at least 450 years of Dao Cultivation. It was naturally impossible to kill him with 400 years of Dao Cultivation, but these three swords were definitely extraordinary.
“The first sword, the arrogant sword!”
Xu Ling shouted loudly. He held the sword in his right hand and gathered the true essence on the sword tip with his left fingers. The sword qi suddenly increased by countless times, sending the snow flying inch by inch.
Everyone in the vicinity felt stifled. What a powerful sword!
A hundred zhang sword light instantly slashed towards Xiao Chen. The powerful sword energy was suffocating. Before the sword could reach him, the sword wind instantly covered Xiao Chen’s entire body. He could not avoid it, and there was no room for manoeuvre!
Sure enough, this sword strike was not limited to 400 years of cultivation. Xiao Chen did not hesitate. The Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique within his body started to circulate in an instant, and several crimson profound lights instantly condensed around his body.
As Xu Ling’s sword slashed towards him, the profound light condensed from the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique gathered on the edge of his sword, blocking it with a sword lattice. With a loud “clang” sound, the two swords collided, causing pieces of ice and snow nearby to fly away. Everyone suddenly stopped and kept retreating.
It was hard to believe that he could actually catch Xu Ling’s first sword so easily. He had just condensed a few crimson profound lights on his body. What kind of cultivation technique was that?
Who knew that the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique was the essence of Xiao Cangtian’s lifetime of cultivation, so how could it be an ordinary cultivation technique? However, in the past, Xiao Chen had always shelved this peerless divine art and never studied it seriously. It was only after he was infected with the Three-day Heart Devouring Poison of the Yin Mountain Sect in the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm that he comprehended its essence and began to cultivate seriously.
This set of cultivation technique was divided into “Nine Yin” and “Nine Yang”. The Nine Yang was the strongest. When circulating, only sufficient strength was needed. Even ordinary iron could activate a divine weapon. Even an ordinary palm and sword could increase its power by countless times, and its defense was undoubtedly as stable as Mount Tai’s.
As for the Nine Yin, it was extremely soft and could attack the world. When it was activated, it only needed sufficient strength. Even if the other party held a divine weapon, it could break it. When he killed Tang Yu with one finger, he had gathered the power of the Nine Yin at the tip of his finger. All attacks were strong and invincible. He had forcefully killed Tang Yu with one finger.
If the Nine Yin and Nine Yang were to merge perfectly, their power would be even more terrifying. Even Xiao Cangtian from back then was not able to use them freely every time. Now, it was even harder for Xiao Chen to grasp them.
At this moment, snow and ice danced all over the mountain peak. Xu Ling saw that he had blocked his first sword. His gaze narrowed, and the second sword was instantly executed, “Second sword, shocking sword!”
This sword strike was even more shocking to ghosts and gods. Four hundred zhang sword qi suddenly appeared in the void and slashed towards Xiao Chen from four different directions. Each sword qi was countless times stronger than the “arrogant sword” from earlier. Before the sword qi landed, the entire mountain peak seemed to tremble.
Facing such a terrifying sword qi, Xiao Chen did not hesitate. In an instant, the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique within his body started to circulate crazily, and a layer of scarlet true qi instantly condensed around his body.
As the four strands of sword qi approached, a cold light shone on the Frosty Sword. A loud “rumble” was heard. The snow within a hundred feet was blown away. Everyone immediately couldn’t see what was happening inside. When the ice and snow dispersed, Xiao Chen stood still and Xu Ling retreated.
“He …”
It was hard to imagine that the four strands of sword qi that were so strong just now had actually been successfully blocked by him.
“There’s still one last sword left …”
At this moment, Xu Ling’s gaze also became fierce. However, this time, he did not draw his sword like before. Instead, he held the sword in his right hand and slowly wiped the tip of the sword with both fingers of his left hand, leaving behind a crimson trail of blood.
“This …”
Many people felt suffocated. At this moment, they could clearly feel a very heavy killing intent from the sword. However, the killing intent came from the heart of the sword. This was …
“The third sword … Killing sword!”
Xu Ling’s eyes turned fierce as he drew his sword in an instant. It was also at this moment that the ice and snow that danced all over the sky seemed to have resonated with the killing intent on the sword. They also turned into strands of sword qi. Within a radius of several hundred feet, every strand of ice and snow turned into a strand of sword qi filled with killing intent. Layers upon layers, densely packed, covering the sky and earth!
At this moment, many people cried out in shock, “This is the sword of killing intent!”
