Divine Brilliance

The light that covered a thousand feet of sky exploded out, instantly arriving in front of the few of them. Just as it got close, they noticed they were really thin and sharp silver needles. They were only 3 inches long, but they were like arrows shot out from Xuanwu ancestors. Just the energy surging out from the tip was enough to pierce through everything.

Behind it, there were a few people who followed closely behind. Like a shadow, they flew not far behind the needles. They were similarly swift, cold lines of sights shot from beyond the screen of needles. All of them were all Xuanwu ancestors!

This sneak attack was really sudden. Shi Dan, however, instantly reacted. She instantly waived her sleeve shouting, “Spell, wind whirlpool!”

Instantly a giant wind whirlpool exploded out a hundred feet ahead of them. The astral wind wrapped up, and although it didn’t sweep apart all the needles, it caused them to slow down. Their trajectories obviously messed up as they shifted to the sides.

Shi Dan formed a deal with her hands, chanting out once more, “Protector beast sword slave, form the sword!”

In front of her, a green mist suddenly formed. Not long later, it formed a shape, like a person whose hand held a sword made up of soul power. His eyes were dumbfounded but the sharpness of which was evident. The aura it gave off was no less than Tan Tao. Following the spell used by Shi Dan, numerous metal spirits gathered on the soul sword, actually showing signs of forming an actual body.

When that sword totally turned golden, it instantly covered the sky in gold light, smashing away all the iron needles that got close.

Next to react was Li Luo, who kept his back low. He didn’t care much about those silver needles. Like a leopard, he charged out towards the screen of needles. In his hand was a long and a short knife, each giving out sharp knife energy, drawing out beautiful arcs, like thy of a storm as it crazily stuck out. Just the 1st knife caused a blood light to spurt out.

Those few people were evidently shocked by it, exclaiming out. However, they didn’t stay for long, only leaving 2 to hold them down. As for the remaining 4, they directly skipped past, charging right for where Zong Shou stood.

Shi Dan frowned. At this moment, she was unable to use any strong spells. She waved her sleeve and another grade 6 spirit beast was formed. A hundred feet high, it’s shaped like that of a porcupine, covered in scales and spikes. Moreover, it was as nimble as a leopard as it directly charged towards one of them.

The last to react was Hu Zhongyuan and Tan Tao. The former’s expression turned solemn, his mandarin duck knives held in front of his body and blocked the astral wind which was crashing into them.

Although the 3 remaining people hadn’t arrived, the astral wind caused by the battle between Li Luo and the 2 Xuanwu ancestors could be felt. On that short moment, this mountain waist, which could be considered quite flat, had many holes cut up by the sword energy, showing signs of collapsing. This caused the nearby ten thousand feet to be covered in dust and smoke.

A normal earth chakra xiantian master had 15 thousand kilograms of strength. When one reached 3 meridians, it would increase to 45 thousand. Martial ancestors of the 4th meridian would triple to 150 thousand. As for 7 meridian Xuanwu ancestors, they had 1.5 million kilograms of strength, enough to shock mountains!

Hu Zhongyuan’s eyes constricted. He knew that there was no way he was the match for either of them. He didn’t retreat but went forwards instead, using tiger roar to sweep out ahead of him.

With a loud “Keng”, his all-out strike forced one of them back by several hundred feet

However, the 2 remaining ones didn’t stop for a single moment, not bothering about Hu Zhongyuan. Two extremely strong martial path intents surged towards him.

Tan Tao’s face was covered in cold sweat. When these 2 Xuanwu ancestors were a hundred feet close, he suddenly exploded under this immense pressure. Shouting out as energy surged out a thousand feet from his black and white mandarin duck knives before swiftly constructing back. It was only 200 feet, but it was more concentrated and sharp, like the knives in his hand had expanded by tens of times. It was like there were 2 light fans which covered 300 feet around him.

Not only did he go all out, but this knife was also till date the most perfect knife he had used!

First, it was ringing sounds as those iron nails were slashed aside. Then, it clashed with the sword glow of the two Xuanwu ancestors. In just a short moment they clashed several times. One of them spat out blood as he retreated. Tan Tao was forced to bend down under the immense pressure like he was about to sink down into the stone.

A person flashed passed him like that of the wind. In front of him, only Zong Shou, who stood a hundred feet away, was left. He looked lonely standing on the stone platform. However, in front of him, a grade 5 bear appeared in front of him.

That Xuanwu ancestor was first filled with questions. Legend had it that Zong Shou didn’t know spiritual cultivation, but he had just seen him summon a protector beast. He didn’t bother. So what if he knew spells? Under his sword, he would still die.

Just as this person stared closely at Zong Shou, Zong Shou was also looking at him. He was roughly 40 years old, a square face. The aura he gave off should be a 7 meridian close to breaking through. His eyes were filled with the joy and killing intent of someone that was about to succeed whilst also filled with confidence.

Zong Shou smiled. Then, he laughed helplessly. A silver-colored glow sunk down towards his waist. At that moment, by his waist, hung 2 swords. One was the lightning winged sword gave by Xuanyuan Yiren, and the other was that damaged nine qilin.

Pretty much in an instance, Little Gold’s body had merged together with that nine qilin sword. A Ying soul surged out behind Zong Shou. Bringing that shining with spiritual glow, golden-colored nine qilin sword into the air. Within his soul, that illusionary spirit one energy sword was also injected into the sword.

A gold light flashed as it immediately struck towards the 40-year-old middle-aged man.

In the next moment, Shi Dan exclaimed, “Going out of the body in the day?”

Shi Dan’s eyes were filled with astonishment, with the soul power of a night wandering realm, to actually go out of the body at night time and not be burnt by the sun. How exactly did this prince manage it?

Then, shock rose up from within her chest.

It’s a grade 7 spiritual artifact! No, grade 8. It actually has a second soul, illusionary spirit sword embryo!

Those words were thoughts in her head. She didn’t have time to get them out. What happened in front of her caused her eyes to expand greatly.

That Xuanwu ancestor which was closest to Zong Shou originally didn’t bother about the sword, only sharply staring at Zong Shou’s neck.

Who cares what methods he used. As long as he cut off his head, then everything would end. Under the day wandering realm, no matter how strong the spirit master, without his body, he was dead.

But once that golden sword light chopped down indiscernibly from a mysterious angle at speeds exceeding his imagination by several times, his eyes constricted. He started retreating frantically without hesitation.

In that instance, he only felt that the sword was really fierce and sharp! He was afraid that before he was able to chop off Zong Shou’s head that his body would be chopped into pieces first.

His brain was in chaos. Why could this Zong Shou’s soul go out of the body in the day? Why is his sword technique so exquisite? Where did he get a grade 8 spiritual artifact? Illusionary spirit crafting sword technique. He obviously cultivated the sword. Which idiot said that he was trash who achieved nothing in either path? He really conned him…

Just as he frenziedly retreated into the distance, at that moment all thoughts of assassination had been given up on.

However, in the next moment, he only felt that the sword image of the nine qilin was a little different.

At that moment, within Zong Shou’s soul, it was indeed changing. A darkness blooming cereus was blooming.

It caused that soul ocean to instantly boil and expand close to 20% outwards. The golden sword light shone and shook as it pierced into the sword light ahead, cutting off the head of the 40-year-old man with one sword.

“Heaven swallowing energy conversion, chop once more!”

The nine qilin sword that flew in the air didn’t stop at all, only swallowing half of the person’s essence energy to block the shine of the sunlight. It made a turn and attacked the other Xuanwu ancestor by its side.

That person also frenziedly dodged right away. Knife energy surged from the knife in his hand as he slashed ahead of him but to no avail. That nine qilin sword easily chased him down.

In the end, his eyes revealed desperation as he suddenly shouted, “retreat! Quick retreat! This person is god damn night wandering sword driving, sword path one with the spirit! I f*** his grandmother…”

He couldn’t even manage to shout out the last words. That golden sword light had pierced in from his left chest, right through his heart. It absorbed his most thick and dense essence energy before slashing through.

At that moment, the faces of the other 4 people changed. Without any hesitation, they started to flee.

Li Luo laughed coldly, his body pulling back in an unbelievable manner, like that of a spring he flashed forwards and beheaded one of them.

Tan Tao didn’t hesitate, pouncing forward and clashed with the Xuanwu ancestor that Hu Zhongyuan had forced back.

Zong Shou’s Sword rose up into the air once more. With the speed of a Phoenix, it was a thousand feet out. The sword body shifted as it chopped off one of their heads.

However, at this point, Zong Shou had used up all his energy. Within his soul, the blooming darkness cereus was slowly closing up and withering.

He wasn’t willing to use the other 2 here. With his spiritual sense sensing, he knew he didn’t need to interfere. Without hesitation, he drove the sword back to his body.

As expected when he opened his eyes once more, Li Luo had already caught up to another. They were still fighting but he had a suppressive advantage. Li Luo’s lips also had a cold and cruel smile.

Tan Tao’s opponent was worse. Under the combined efforts of Shi Dan’s 2 spirit beasts and Tan Tao, he lasted less than 10 minutes before being beheaded.

Hu Zhongyuan continued looking from the back, his mouth agape and face filled with disbelief.
