610 - The First of the Three Swords that Shook Clear River (2)
Chapter 610, The First of the Three Swords that Shook Clear River (2)
Ye Qingyu gently closed his eyes, a calm look on his face, seemingly paying no attention to the Immortal Step expert before him. He responded in a disdainful voice. “Same to you... you talk so much nonsense, if you want to die then fight.”
“Keke, good, in a while you will become a pile of rotten meat.” Luo Xie laughed sinisterly.
Before his voice died away.
“Absolute double blade... Come out now!”
He roared violently, making a grabbing motion in the air, and the blade that was hung at his waist was automatically unsheathed.
He held a slender, curved long blade in both his hands.
The hilt of the sword was formed by two separate spider bodies, and the body of the blade was slender and strange like the texture of a spider leg. At the mouth of the blade was a palm-sized curved hook, and the tip was red, as though it was dyed red from so much blood.
This pair of curved blades was definitely not ordinary.
With the blades tight in his hands, Luo Xie exuded raging demon flames, like the god of death. He no longer said anything as swung both blades down at the same time, sending two incomparably sharp sword qi striking down from the void.
An imposingly vast and extremely frightening power loomed over the city gate tower in an instant.
Invisible demonic qi whizzed and surged, as if in the void hid tens of thousands of ancient demon beasts that were hissing and roaring.
The dark void was suddenly lit by the weapon in Luo Xie’s hands, with violent bursts of energy exploding above Ye Qingyu.
“To even dare to kill a Demon Spider general. Today, I will wash Flowing Light City with blood, starting with you!” Luo Xie’s eyes glowed red, killing intent gushing skywards, and the clouds within four thousand meters were tumbling and responding with a mournful quiver.
Opposite.
Ye Qingyu still stood motionless.
Until the evil blade light neared his body. At that critical time his closed eyes suddenly shot wide open. He stretched his hand out into the air, and the air began rippling gently.
A large, plank-like sword appeared in his hands.
The sword body was tremendous, the sword hilt was half a meter long, and the huge sword blade was about two meters in length, and half a meter wide. The blade edge was about two fingers wide, the thickest part of the sword back was wider than five fingers. The dark red sword blade had a slight rough texture, just like there were small gravel or grit-like particles.
Upon a careful inspection, on the sword body were winding and spiraling purple-red line markings, becoming clearer on the vein lines of the sword body, like a sleeping sky dragon was anxious to wake up. The colour penetrated into the depths of the sword material, and was faintly translucent.
[Blood Drinker Sword]!
The unfinished blood-drinking sword.
Ye Qingyu finally used the sword that he had been refining for almost a year.
The [Blood Drinker Sword] of thousands of kilograms was like a door plank. Held in the hands of Ye Qingyu, the visual impact was very strong, but the weight was perfect, just like it was made by the heavens.
“Today... you can drink blood!”
Ye Qingyu’s aura, like a divine weapon was unsheathed, became incomparably sharp. As he waved the giant sword about in the air, bursts of red light were scattering about.
Swoosh!
The dark red sword was drawn across the air.
A dazzling solid-like beam of light, like a comet tail, instantly blinded everyone’s eyes. The weaker Demon Spider Race experts suddenly felt their eyes burning, as if they had been stabbed with a needle.
The sword light tilted in the void and then disappeared at the end of the horizon.
Then everything fell quiet.
Everything went still.
What was going on?
As if time and space had suddenly gone strangely still.
The two sides almost could not see clearly the shape of the dazzling white light of sword qi that flashed across.
In the void.
A gap that seemed like a cut left behind when a piece of cloth was pierced remained, where mist-like qi were bubbling up like boiling water.
The blade light and blade intention of the Absolute double blade, was hacked into two halves and strangely remained still in the air like a cloth was torn into two parts.
And the sluggish Luo Xie was frozen in the position of when he was soaring into the air.
Cha!
After a strange stillness.
Luo Xie’s body suddenly split open from the left cheek to the right, and blood came gushing out of the neat incision.
Bang!
The Absolute double blade produced a loud shrill noise.
Broken into countless fragments, and immediately struck and scattered by the sword qi, it finally vanished without a trace.
The severed body suddenly exploded in the void, thousands of blood and flesh swirling in the air like a sudden shower of rain.
An ordinary looking human had killed Immoral Step expert Luo Xie and completely destroyed his bones and flesh.
Silence.
A very strange silence.
After the sword qi swept across the sky, the two opposing sides up in the air after the initial shock, were standing in silence.
It was as if time and space had stopped, and time no longer flowed.
On the city walls.
The dazzling slash just now...
Standing in front, Chen Zhengliang and Hu Bugui’s mouths were gaped open wide, and their faces were crossed with astonishment.
The two of them, as experienced and knowledgeable experts of Clear River Domain, at this time, were also extremely stunned by the sight. An inexplicable power was roaring endlessly in their dantian region.
The innkeeper and his wife, Elder Zheng, and Scar-faced Jin also stared in frozen astonishment at the dazzling light.
This confrontation, they had expected many possibilities.
Even if they believed in the strength of Tianhang, believed that he will overcome that Demon Spider Race expert, but they had never thought that the way of victory would be so simple, so crude, and so direct.
And it was just a slash of his sword.
The power erupted at that moment was not what any of the people present could endure.
Ling Xiaoran and Heng Yuge looked at each other, their eyes seemingly flickering with a hopeful jade-like light.
Perhaps this senior Tianhang still had not revealed his real strength?
Maybe he really was the human saint who could save Flowing Light City?
……
In the distance.
Among the Demon Spider Race experts.
That white light...
Mofeng’s mouth was wide open, his facial features were stiff, and his mind was in extreme shock. His eyes, as if they had been frozen by the scene before him; the flash of white light was still flashing in his eyes.
He stood at the forefront of the Demon Spider experts, bearing the brunt of the tyrannical sacred-mountain-like sword qi.
The remnants from the sudden eruption of consciousness power and yuan qi were still surging. In order to withstand the gush of sword qi before, he had activated all of his cultivation and energy to counterattack according to his martial artist’s instinct.
What was that power?
The person opposite, was he not only of the Heaven Ascension boundary stage?
The plank-like weapon in his hand, what was that?
The hundreds of Demon Spider experts behind Mofeng all wore terrified looks on their faces.
That blast of undefendable sword qi, if all of the experts present had not gathered their strength to form a wall of yuan qi, they most likely would have failed to withstand by it by themselves.
The night wind whistled.
The sky and earth was dreary and solemn.
A strange atmosphere pervaded between the heavens and the earth.
Opposite.
Ye Qingyu stood high up in the sky, his robes fluttering in the wind.
In his hands, threatening killing intent was rushing forth from the [Blood Drinker Sword], its imposing manner was like an awakened beast, quivering and roaring.
Lightly flicking the sword body, Ye Qingyu revealed a satisfied expression on his face.
It was the first time he used the [Blood Drinker Sword].
The power of the sword had exceeded his expectations.
That sword light just now was because one of the three great sword techniques was activated to its peak, but even more because his strength had greatly improved these days. It also had a huge connection to the increase in power of the [Blood Drinker Sword].
The sword, which he had made himself, was held in his hand, like a part of his body. He was able to control it at will like it was one of his arms.
Ye Qingyu looked at the rain of blood after Luo Xie’s death, suddenly activated yuan qi, and triggered [Blood Drinker Sword’s] most mysterious and hidden blood vine rune. As he swung out his sword, the yuan qi on the [Blood Drinker Sword] began moving like a living creature, and a powerful strange energy automatically gushed from the sword.
The next moment, a strange thing occurred.
In the sky, the shower of blood that was swirling like flowers turned into a red light and sped towards [Blood Drinker Sword] like a fledgling swallow returning to its nest. This red light bloomed like a red spider lily in the sky, its red petals glowing with a breathtaking beauty.
The simple and unadorned [Blood Drinker Sword] was like the flower base of this beautiful red flower, drawing the flower towards it. As if time had gone back, the petals of the enchanting red spider lily curled up toward [Blood Drinker Sword].
But in the blink of an eye, that beautiful flower was gone, and everything had become the faint red halo of light around Ye Qingyu’s sword.
The blood that filled the sky was absorbed by the [Blood Drinker Sword]!
Before, the dark red sword body was filled with a faint red light and a strange force was surging within the [Blood Drinker Sword].
But now, the dark purple-red lines on the sword gradually became clear and bright. The broadsword body, as though it had been injected with a fiery red lava that flowed along the strange markings of the sword body, mysterious formation markings. One after another, the markings were ignited by this fiery stream of liquid, glowing with a blood-red brilliance.
As the fiery red colour gradually spread across the sword, the essence of the energy of the Demon Race experts were being absorbed by the [Blood Drinker Sword].
After absorbing the Demon Spider Race experts’ essence and blood, the markings on the not yet fully formed sword body seemed a lot more condensed than before, and those mysterious formation marks also seemed to be more flowing and full.
A gush of pure energy was transferred from the hilt of the [Blood Drinker Sword] into Ye Qingyu’s body.
His limbs and bones felt as if a refreshed and relaxed stream of sprit spring water had flown through.
The yuan qi that Ye Qingyu had consumed just now to kill the Demon Spider Race expert was instantly replenished. This kind of refreshing feeling was something that only he knew.
Opposite.
The Ruthless Prince Mofeng stared at the scarlet red sword in Ye Qingyu’s hand, his complexion slightly changing.
Just now, the chubby man had only administered one sword strike, and that move was able to kill a Demon Spider Race expert of the Heaven Ascension boundary. But this was not the reason for his astonishment.
He was shocked because as a Prince of the Immortal Step boundary, throughout the whole process, he still could not exactly determine this person’s cultivation!
Luo Xie’s death was wasted.
His death did not serve the purpose of allowing him to test the opponents strength. His death had no value whatsoever.
Even more bizarre was that the huge sword in his hand unexpectedly could absorb the Demon Race’s essence blood!
The Demon Race’s essence blood was inherently a corrosive and toxic substance. When the Human Race fought against the Demon Race, their weapons were most likely some high-level divine weapons, but in the end were usually corroded by the demon blood. It lost its spiritual nature and become scrap metals.
And this strange giant sword not only did not corrode, but absorbed the Demon Race’s blood for its own use!
Who the hell was this fat man?
The Ruthless Prince was both frightened and furious.
