Free Web NovelChapter 67: Chapter 67: Forbidden Sword Technique
Gah!
Chen Zhihe staggered to his feet and spat out another Blood Arrow, then stared at Shen Daoxing in disbelief. "How is this possible? You’re only at the Sixth Layer of the Profound Platform realm. How can you be this strong?"
’He was starting to feel a little regretful.’
As a member of the Royal Family, the most important thing was to know how to judge a situation.
If he had known Shen Daoxing was this powerful, he never would have fought him for the Spirit-Seizing Grass.
"Just who are you?"
Chen Zhihe took out a Healing Pill and put it in his mouth, his expression turning grim. "I refuse to believe some nameless junior could possess such terrifying strength."
As he spoke, he discreetly crushed a Jade Talisman.
"Calling for backup?"
Shen Daoxing’s gaze was like a torch. The aura of the Great Ming Demon Sparrow in his hand instantly surged, like a great dragon charging against the current. "Sorry, but I’m not going to give you that chance."
SHIING!
Four Symbols Sword Technique! Sword Like Rain!
He swung the Great Ming Demon Sparrow forward, and a flash of sword light burst forth, forming a dense web of swords.
Thanks to his Venerable Bloodline, Shen Daoxing possessed a Seven-Colored Profound Platform. Although his cultivation was at the Sixth Layer of the Profound Platform realm, his vitality was no weaker than someone at the Ninth Layer.
Now, enhanced by his Six Paths Sword Intent, the web of swords was terrifyingly immense, like a tidal wave.
"Bastard!"
Chen Zhihe hadn’t expected Shen Daoxing to see through his trick. He immediately raised his Treasure Sword to meet the attack.
CLANG!
The instant the two swords collided, a storm of metal erupted.
A golden light suddenly appeared on the surface of Chen Zhihe’s body, neutralizing the full force of the blow.
Treasure Armor!
As a Prince of the Wei Kingdom, Chen Zhihe wore Treasure Armor specially forged by the Royal Family for its scions. Just now, it was this armor that had deflected most of the impact.
’Hm!?’
Shen Daoxing felt that something was strange about Chen Zhihe; his aura was rapidly surging.
"Shen, he just took a Mad Demon Pill!"
At that moment, Lin Ke’Er called out anxiously, "The Mad Demon Pill boosts one’s vitality for a short period of time!"
’So that’s it!’
Hearing this, Shen Daoxing’s eyes narrowed.
"I want you dead!"
Chen Zhihe looked at his own hands, his handsome face twisting into a savage expression.
The royal teachings said one must never offend someone they cannot afford to offend. But they also said that if you do offend such a person, you must eliminate them completely.
’Therefore, Shen Daoxing must die today.’
Chen Zhihe roared and swept his Treasure Sword forward.
BOOM! BOOM!
A single sword strike could shatter the heavens and the earth!
Shen Daoxing’s brow furrowed slightly. He pushed off his feet and dodged into the distance.
The next moment, Chen Zhihe had already closed the distance, a heart-stoppingly cold glint appearing on his Treasure Sword.
CLANG!
Shen Daoxing did not retreat. He met the attack directly with the Great Ming Demon Sparrow.
Chen Zhihe pushed his speed to the absolute limit, like a sweeping gale, and swung his Treasure Sword again.
Flashes of sword light crisscrossed, tearing the Primordial Energy apart!
The two figures were constantly entangled in combat.
The longer they fought, the more terrified Chen Zhihe became.
’This person is clearly only at the Sixth Layer of the Profound Platform realm. How can he be so terrifying?’
’If he were at the same realm as me, wouldn’t I be unable to block even a single move?’
’This man must die!’
"You’re lucky. Today, I’ll let you witness the invincible Sword Technique of my Wei Kingdom."
Chen Zhihe roared. He brandished his longsword, and a soaring golden beam of sword light surged forward. The light was peerlessly sharp, as if it would slice the very air in two.
Sword Emperor Technique! World-Defying Edge!
’Hm!?’
A chill went through Shen Daoxing. He instantly sensed that this Sword Technique was extraordinary and raised his Great Ming Demon Sparrow.
Four Symbols Sword Technique! Electric Flash!
The great sword fell like a block of ten-thousand-year-old ice, surrounded by the roar of thunder and lightning.
It was a coldness so extreme it could even freeze a person’s Divine Soul.
BOOM!
With a violent tremor, the golden light collided with the ten-thousand-year-old ice. A tremendous roar echoed out, followed by a cataclysmic wave of Primordial Energy.
The dark clouds in the moonlit sky were scattered by the powerful momentum, and the bizarre, dazzling spectacle could be seen from miles away.
Chen Zhihe’s gaze was cold. The Treasure Armor he wore had blocked eighty percent of the force, and the remaining twenty percent hadn’t injured him at all.
Shen Daoxing stood firm as a rock, motionless, holding the Great Ming Demon Sparrow.
"Again!"
Chen Zhihe roared, and his Treasure Sword shot toward the sky.
At this moment, he seemed like a Human Emperor descending upon the world, ruling over all. The Treasure Sword in his hand was a sword that could suppress the mortal realm.
Domineering!
An unparalleled dominance!
Before him, everything else was insignificant.
"I, too, have an invincible Sword Technique that I have never used before."
Shen Daoxing tightened his grip on the Great Ming Demon Sparrow. In that instant, a world-shaking aura began to brew.
’He knew he had to end this quickly. He couldn’t give Chen Zhihe another chance to catch his breath.’
A monstrous torrent of Primordial Energy danced wildly, and the Great Ming Demon Sparrow in his hand began to glow brilliantly in the darkness.
Holding the Great Ming Demon Sparrow, Shen Daoxing was like a sun in the night sky—incredibly dazzling.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The wildly surging Primordial Energy completely erupted, creating the sound of monstrous waves, and then the True Qi transformed into a sea of fire.
The heavens roiled!
A boiling sea of fire was incinerating the firmament!
This was the Forbidden Sword Technique, first move: Heavenly Fire!
BOOM! BOOM!
As Shen Daoxing slashed down with his sword, the sky-filling sea of fire cascaded downward, threatening to engulf Chen Zhihe completely.
"!?"
Chen Zhihe snapped out of his shock. He felt a life-or-death crisis and desperately gathered all his Primordial Energy into his Treasure Sword.
His Sword Qi shot toward the heavens, trying to break through the endless sea of fire.
WHOOSH!
His Essence Blood was burning wildly. He knew his life was hanging by a thread.
"You dare to kill me!?"
Chen Zhihe roared.
"Why wouldn’t I dare?"
Shen Daoxing’s face was expressionless as the sea of fire poured down mercilessly.
BOOM!
The sea of fire descended, completely submerging Chen Zhihe. Then, it surged upward, rushing beyond the highest heavens.
It seemed to stain the entire sky red.
...
「Core region of the True Dragon Nest.」
"’The treasure should be somewhere nearby.’"
Beside a campfire, Nalan Rongruo was focused on a map in her hands.
Zhang Ling’Er asked softly, "Rong Ruo, are you really going to marry Xia Junze?"
Nalan Rongruo said faintly, "It’s a marriage alliance between two kingdoms. I have no choice."
Zhang Ling’Er frowned. "But you’ve never even met him, have you?"
Nalan Rongruo sighed. "No, I haven’t."
’Although I’ve never met him, I’ve heard of him.’
Xia Junze was the second-ranked prodigy in the Martial Kingdom, listed on the Martial Arts Ranking. He was now a mainstay on the ranking.
’For Nalan Rongruo, marriage was inevitable. As for whom she married, that was not for her to decide.’
’And Xia Junze was, after all, a prodigy on the Martial Arts Ranking.’
BOOM!
Just as they were speaking, the ground suddenly trembled, and a massive mushroom cloud erupted in the distance.
Zhang Ling’Er looked up in astonishment at the crimson sky.
"The sky is lit up..."
