Chapter 370 - Stone Cave Collapsing part 2
The roar thundered, causing the entire cave to shake like it was on the verge of collapsing.
A circling dragon image suddenly surged out from the stone wall. Its aura was really vast just that its body was a little incomplete.
Then the nine illusionary coiled dragons appeared behind Zong Shou. Although they were several sizes smaller and their bodies were illusionary and not real, they all spread their claws and bared their fangs, looking extremely prideful.
Li Yuandan was astonished once more. Then he mocked,”Since senior brother Long Ruo said that then your probably not wrong. That dragon shadow martial saint thought he found someone to pass on his legacy. Later on if he finds out this Zong Shou is just a jade on the outside but is rotten within, a trash with good comprehension, who knows how much regret and anger he would feel?”
When that Han Nishui heard that, his expression relaxed.
However Long Ruo’s face was still dark and sunken. The uneasiness in his heart was growing stronger and stronger.
A killing intent which couldn’t be suppressed also rose up from his heart.
In his heart there was a voice which was calling out continuously.
…Get rid of this kid! You have to stop at nothing to kill Zong Shou. If not, you will regret for the rest of your life!
He was already wrong once, giving rise to her heart demon. He couldn’t be wrong for a second time!
Thoughts spun in his head as the hand, which was hidden in his sleeves, was tightly clenched. A thin sword was spinning around within his wide sleeves.
This was the broken blade sword which Zu Renkuang bought from Zong Shou and then gave it to him.
Not long ago, the sect’s weapon refiner had searched for suitable materials to merge into the sword causing it to be reborn. It rose from a 3rd grade spiritual sword to rise to grade 7.
He was confident that if he slashed out with this blade, even the dragon shadow old man might not be able to protect Zong Shou.
Although he was a martial saint expert, after all, he was hundreds of worlds away and he might have a chance of succeeding!
He just needed one chance, one timing which he could make use of whilst being able to get away.
A violent aura flashed in his eyes as Long Ruo’s eyes as he took in a deep breath forcefully suppressing such random thoughts.
He mocked himself. He was truly obsessed with Zong Shou…
However in those thoughts there was an unprecendent coldness and calmness. The killing intent didn’t go away. Instead, it became stronger.
As long as he was able to get rid of this kid, then this obstacle would not be a problem. His cultivation would even be able to have a breakthrough.
Coincidentally, at that moment, a dragon roar spread out.
It was Zong Shou who slashed out with the 36th sword. The giant dragon shadow on the reflective wall once again roared out. A dragon claw poked out from its tummy and its body became more and more real.
At this moment pretty much each sword from Zong Shou could cause the giant dragon to have one more horn or one more scale.
Not only was he perfecting the dragon shaped stone carving, but he was also perfecting this incomplete dragon shadow.
When Zong Shou carved the 45th sword on the reflective wall, as expected another dragon reverberated through the ears of everyone.
At the start Jin Buhui could only look at Zong Shou’s movement with his mouth agape. Following which his gaze started focusing on the giant dragon above.
He felt that everytime the incomplete dragon moved or jumped it hid in it extremely deep martial path theories.
Looking closely, it actually felt like it was better than those 9 remnant image stone walls.
The 6 types of true dragon sword techniques he had comprehended before had instantly became much clearer.
He didn’t to purposely think about it, many of the key areas which he didn’t understand were instantly smooth and clear to him.
It was like the mysteries hidden within the dragon uimage could be directly reflected in one’s heart.
“Looking at the situation, I think he really comprehended the nine dragon shadow sword…:”
A sigh sounded out by Jin Buhui’s ear. The tone was unusually emotional,”Junior brother Buhui, I really have to respect you. You really have an eye in making friends. Teacher always says that cultivators like me can’t go away from riches and friends. You already have riches, today you have such a good friend too.”
Jin Buhui didn’t need to turn around and look and knew that it was his senior brother Chen Huai. At this moment he wasn’t willing to miss any changes of that giant dragon shadow image, and wasn’t willing to turn around his head. However he laughed in delight.
“Senior brother do you need to say it? Naturally my friend is good! You don’t know how many secrets this person has. He was able to pass such a difficult situation. That quality is ten times better than comprehension. Speaking of which, why are you being so naggy? Why are you talking so much? Fortuitous encounters are rare. If we miss it today we won’t be able to sit it ever again?”
Chen Huai was speechless as he heard that, thinking how wouldn’t he be filled with thoughts bumping into such a person?
Hearing Jin Buhui’s words there seemed to be many things about this Gantian monster king Zong Shou that he didn’t know about.
However, although he was speaking, his eyes were focused on the dragon shadow above.
The many people around were the same, looking on without blinking.
Before this, the people were shocked by the commotion and also felt annoyed at not being able to comprehend the martial saint remnant image.
But at this moment all their anger was gone, and they were filled with unlimited amounts of surprise.
They all knew that what they got today was several times more than what their seniors had obtained.
“Anyways this person, since junior brother Buhui has endorsed his personality then you should be sincere. In the future, with this kid protecting and helping you, you will have much benefits.”
He continued on with such bullshit pointers. Then he suddenly exclaimed as he looked above.
At this moment, not only was the entire cave continuously shaking, dust fell from above and occasionally there were rocks crashing down.
Suddenly a clear comprehension entered Chen Huai’s heart.
That dragon shadow old man was destroying the caves of Dragon Gathering Mountain step by step. This martial path saint expert had totally chosen the person to take on his legacy!
Pretty much at the same time, He Xueling who was hundred feet out also looked into the air, a weird glow flashed in her eyes, filled with disbelief.
“That martial saint seems to have made up his mind. His highness Zong Shou really comprehended the nine dragon shadow sword technique. No wonder Senior sister Shui Lingbo fought for him for several months. No wonder our revered one chose him as a second generation disciple. Yanran is really lucky to have him be her seed cauldron. Even I am filled with envy…”
Zhao Yanran brows rose up slightly annoyed, thinking that meeting this fellow was her misfortune, how did it become her luck? She scoffed coldly,”I know! But senior master is rude, you should call him great great great great senior master.”
He Xueling used her hands to caress her lips and burst out into a laugh, asking curiously,”he told you to call him that?”
Zhao Yanran was instantly at a loss, tightly pulling at the corner of her shirt. If that immoral fellow really forced her to call him great great great great great senior master everyday, she really didn’t feel like living.
Now she still needed help from him. In the future if she could successfully turn it around she would definitely torture this fellow.
However, although she was thinking that way, in the depths of her heart, she knew that she had no chance and she didn’t have any hope about it.
Just as she was thinking about it, the 4th dragon roared once again and it reverberated through the entire cave. It shook everyone, causing their eardrums to heart, the weaker ones like Jin Buhui bled from all 7 holes.
However, the dragon shadow seemed to become more and more real, runes appeared on it like it was nurturing to unlimited mysteries.
All of them didn’t dare to be distracted as the chance was really tough to obtain, they were all afraid of missing out on any slight changes.
Within the entire cave it was totally silent, apart from the sound of sand and dirt falling, there was no other sounds.
Zong Shou had no feeling about anything happening around him. He didn’t pay attention and didn’t bother to.
His thoughts maintained sincere and real, going all out. He continuously deduced and simulated those sword moves. Then he slashed out sword by sword on the wall.
His body slightly shuddered. The various hormones in his body increased and was being secreted non stop. His intelligence was also continuously increasing, causing him to reach his highest state since entering this world!
He hadn’t been this excited in a long time. The last time he was in such a state was when he first glimpse into the mysteries of the sword path and stepped through that gate. He saw that hundred school sword and possibility to merge it all into one.
At this moment, Zong Shou saw an even higher and wider hall!
He was silently judging that he just needed to fill up all the flaws on the wall carvings.
Then, not only would he be able to understand the mysteries of the nine dragon shadow sword but he would be able to truly grasp the sword soul realm of the martial intent!
It wasn’t that incomplete sword soul that he grasped in the last life through the god emperor game but the real one, which could cause his sword technique to come alive!
Sword after sword slashed out. The 63rd one left a mark on the wall. A claw appeared from the giant dragon shadow in the air once again as it roared out.
Zong Shou’s sword suddenly stopped.
After reaching the 64th sword, the sword techniques after were one’s he couldn’t slash down.
He already felt that it was really difficult, each further sword would use up a lot of energy.
Zong Shou took in a deep breath, taking out a ten wood focus raising pill slowly from his sleeves, raising his head as he consumed it.
This was a secret pill from the common people path and helped to replenish vital energy. However it also helped replenish the consumption of focus and the heart from the blood.
One wasn’t enough so Zong Shou took out several different types of pills to consume successively. Using his true qi to activate and swiftly dissolve them.
He knew that this was probably going to be a battle of attrition and he couldn’t rush it and be impatient. He could only break these nine dragon shadow sword by keeping himself at his most optimal state at the fastest speed.
After all he only had less than half a day left.
After waiting for his energy to slightly recover did Zong Shou slash out with one sword, with a “puchi” sound he left another mark on the stone wall.
Just at that moment Zong Shou seemed to hear something in his ears.
