Divine Brilliance

He simulated it in his mind whilst stepping forward another step. He went forwards instead of retreating, stabbing ferociously with the sword towards the intense flame.

Halfway through the strike, spiral sword energy with water and fire energies surged out from the sword.

The sword light shone and directly pierced through the vast astral wind, heading right for that person’s throat.

Xiong Kui squinted his eyes, instinctively wanting to smack the sword away with a slack. However, the moment he waved his hand, his eyes constricted frantically in shock.

It was just a simple sword stab, at most, it would be some insignificant distraction. However, at that moment, he felt that no matter how he blocked, he was unable to avoid this sword stabbing into his throat.

Pretty much instinctively, his body explosively retreated. He still slashed out with his right hand. Numerous silver-white flames shot out, turning into a flame whip which was tens of feet long as it slashed at Zong Shou’s waist.

“So that’s the case. Your flame bear race’s emperor flame spiritual art is really exceptional!”

Zong Shou’s eyes lit up slightly. The sword in his hand stabbing and shaking, viciously slapping right at the chin of Xiong Kui. Then, he slashed towards the side, totally smashing the flame whip into pieces. With no sparks and embers on him, he pointed at Xiong Kui, gently smiling, “You finally showed some skill. However, it’s far from enough to escape from me.”

Xiong Kui’s expression was really ugly. He gritted his teeth, causing threads of blood to seep into his teeth. Explosive spiral energy charged into his Chin, fire, and water wrapping around one another. He needed to go all out before he could remove it.

At that point, no matter how much of a fool he was, he would know that Zong Shou was just luring him to attack.

Zong Shou was far from the noob in the martial path he had thought. Instead, his sword path was even one with the spirit!

If Zong Shou had killing intent, then the 2 swords from before could have taken his life.

At that moment, he pretty much had the urge to scold out.

If this Gantian Mountain prince was the trash as rumors have said, then what were people like Feng Yu and him? Scum?

He should have guessed long ago that someone who could gain Zong Yuan’s loyalty, how could he really be trash?

Zong Shou’s eyes were still half-closed as he continued to feel the energy changes in Xiong Kui’s body. Joy slowly appearing in his eyes.

He had basically grasped the theory of this emperor flame spiritual art. Although there were many areas he didn’t know, with his martial path experience, it was enough to piece all the parts together.

Just as he was thinking that since that person was not attacking, that he should totally end him. Only to see Xiong Kui give out a deep roar as he pounced over. He was like a giant war crushing over. The viciousness and violence in his eyes seemed to become real.

Before when he attacked, he tried his best to suppress his aura to not shock people outside of the tent. Now he totally didn’t care, grabbing out with his palm and causing the temperature of the tent to raise by numerous times, energy spreading all over! The carpet and curtains all started to combust.

The first to feel that something was off was Zong Gang who was standing straight like a spear outside of the tent.

He was arranged to guard outside the tent by Zong Shou whilst Zong Yuan that little brat could follow him in. Zong Gang was frowning and feeling a little unhappy and jealous.

Now that he heard the tiger roar in the tent, he rushed it right away.

When the scene in the distance entered his eyes, Zong Gang’s eyes instantly turned red. He instinctively wanted to pounce forward.

But when his body passed, intense spear energy swiftly stabbed over, stopping his forward charging momentum.

“Zong Yuan! As expected from a wolf hearted person!”

Zong Gang instantly felt that his heart jolted. That’s right, with the personality of Zong Yuan, how would he be willing to work for the prince?

If Zong Shou died in the hands of Xiong Kui then naturally this fellow wouldn’t be bounded by the blood oath.

Following which he felt that something wasn’t right. Zong Yuan’s spear energy was just to block him and didn’t bring any killing intent. Moreover, even if he used such a way to break the blood oath he would suffer huge losses which were totally not worth it.

Before he could think carefully, he pulled out his knife and chopped away the stabbing spear image.

However, at this moment he heard a crisp smack from afar.

Zong Gang’s body was stunned.

…oh my god, what did he see? Xiong Kui who has gone all out to pounce at Zong Shou was smashed on the cheek by a shiny sword. His entire person was smacked tens of feet away.

The owner of the long sword was Zong Shou who would have been in danger.

Originally he didn’t believe it, but a moment later that Xiong Kui leaped forwards once more.

Filled with a fierce aura, he seemed like a giant bear burning with silver-white flames. His hands seemed like it could tear everything.

However just as he arrived in front of Zong Shou, he was smacked away cleanly by one sword.

That moment, the situation of the two people had totally flipped from what Zong Gang had thought.

Xiong Kui who should have been like a giant bear wrestling a rabbit became a rabbit, who when baring its fangs, had posed no threat at all. Zong Shou who should be defenseless and awaiting death had turned into a lion and was playing with the little rabbit whose eyes had turned red.

It took a bit of time before Zong Gang came back to his senses. Then, he hollered, “All of you back off! Within 3 breaths back off to 5 thousand feet away! Whoever dares to peek or use spiritual sense to observe I will take their head.”

Outside of the tent, the black fox cavalry who were supposed to follow behind all exchanged glances with one another. Although they were surprised, they still listened to his words, turning around and moving 5 thousand feet.

Zong Gang took in a deep breath, “Young master actually knows martial arts? If I didn’t see wrongly he…”

Looking forward, Zong Gang’s eyes shone bright, uncertainly saying, “His sword path seems to be one with the spirit?”

“The prince’s sword is indeed a hundred times better than mine!”

Zong Yuan nodded slightly before saying expressionlessly,” However his main cultivation is in spiritual techniques. He is already a night wandering spirit master.”

Zong Gang’s heart jolted once more. However, this stab was different from the fear from before, bringing with it loads of happiness.

When he heard night wandering spirt master, he subconsciously didn’t believe it. But instantly, he noticed that each step Zong Shou took borrows the spiritual energy of the surroundings. Which was why he wasn’t afraid of the white flames. His body was also buffed with several spells and had many high-grade spiritual artifacts. He was able to take Xiong Kui head-on and not be at a disadvantage.

His eyes opened wide as he looked at the side, at Ruo Shui who was quietly sitting like she was invincible.

Just as his eyes revealed a questioning intent, she also looked over, her eyes were extremely pure,” I said before, the young master is strong, there’s no need to worry.”

Zong Gang was instantly speechless, such a simple few words were considered as having said before?

On Zong Shou’s side, he smacked Xiong Kui with several swords before feeling impatient and shaking his head.

“How unfortunate! Your cultivation is only at the 6 meridians martial ancestor realm. This emperor flame spiritual art is far from mastered. Zong Yuan give me your spear!”

Zong Yuan didn’t hesitate, tossing the purple lightning spear in his hand over. Zong Shou pocked it up and took a look. But he saw that the energy gathering pearl still there but the spiritual formation was gone.

Zong Shou didn’t care, holding the tail of the spear, pointing the entire spear forwards.

“Although you comprehended that maniac lightning spear sense well, you were only able to borrow strength to form it. You were unable to learn its roots. I’ll use it once more today, look carefully!”

The moment he said that numerous lightning snakes formed from nowhere, an eye-catching purple light bursting out as they gathered towards the tip of the spear.

Zong Yuan was slightly startled, instantly his eyes were filled with joy as he looked carefully. On the contrary, Xiong Kui had a totally different feeling.

He felt like the lightning glow that Zong Shou gathered was not 1/10 of the spear sense Zong Yuan displayed before.

However, it was more concentrated. After it entered the spear and his body, his aura was even more dangerous!

In the next instance, that spear tip slightly shook. Then, the sky was filled with a purple spear after images. In an instant, who knows how many stabs there were. He only felt many lethal spears crazily heading right for him.

Xiong Kui roared out, he didn’t dare to take them head-on, going all out to retreat backward.

The purple spears in front of him appeared and disappeared, looked real but then looked fake as it covered down on him. His arms continuously waved to try to block but he was totally unable to touch the spear.

He only felt his body was being pierced spear by spear by the purple spear. Who knows how many holes were stabbed on his body.

When the sky full of blade light finally dissipated, Zong Shou was still standing a hundred feet away, his brows furrowed like he was thinking about something.

Xiong Kui has lost all his energy, kneeling on the ground. Lowering his head and looking at the hundreds of holes on his body.

Luckily Zong Shou had used less strength and showed mercy. Those wounds weren’t deep and didn’t harm the important organs.

However, even so, the hundreds of wounds caused him to be on the brink of death.

Zong Yuan’s eyes glowed. However, he wasn’t anxious, seemingly focusing back on his memory and thinking carefully. That wave-like spear scenes was enough for him to remember for the rest of his life!

That was the true maniac lightning spear sense!

Zong Gang was totally silent, looking at Zong Shou like he was looking at a stranger.

Just now, even he was unsure how many spears Zong Shou stabbed out.

If he didn’t know that the prince had the ruler’s blood, he would have thought he was a fake or had stolen a body.

Zong Shou was filled with doubt for a moment before coming to his senses. Then, he tossed his spear back to Zong Yuan before entering a state of deep thought.

…he knew his own strength. His spear technique shouldn’t be so strong, definitely not to the level that Xiong Kui couldn’t block a single spear.

When he stabbed out he could feel like his true qi and spiritual energy was very harmonious at that moment.
