Chapter 493: Emperor of the Sword

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Hanfang smiled when he heard that, not mocking and laughing at him at all. The victory or defeat of this battle tugged at the heartstrings of hundreds of thousands of cultivators around here. Even he was also anticipating the outcome.

Moments later, joy appeared in Hanfang’s eyes, “Junior brother has won!”

Fengtian slightly nodded his head, “He did win!”

Fangwen relaxed, he also saw through the situation. His senior master Zong Shou had indeed shown signs of his victory.

Moments later, the hundred thousand cultivators in the distance were in an uproar. The grade 9 and above experts all stood up.

“Looking at the situation, Tanqiu has won!”

“The great extinction sword has been broken! As long as he has a bit of soul power, Jueyu wouldn’t be able to turn the situation around.”

“Jueyu has lost, unbelievable. The positioning of the 6 pinnacle swords will probably have to be changed...”

“1499 swords he defended, attacking with the final sword. Winning with one sword, this battle is similar to 1.5 years ago in the battle in Black Spirit Valley!”

“A grade 9 heaven shocking sword technique like the great extinction sword can be solved and broken within 8 hours. This person’s talents are truly unparalleled...”

“...Common people path Tanqiu, one origin great formless sword?”

“From today onwards, there will be one more person in the world who will be listed as one of the top experts in the cloud world. Just grade 7 strength, how unbelievable...”

The moment the discussion noises rose, another loud “keng” sound spread out in the void.

The silver sword shadow suddenly gave out bright spiritual light, eye-catching. When they met, that black sword wave was like snow meeting a blazing sun, retreating swiftly.

The sword light stabbed in an unstoppable manner–breaking apart Jueyu’s attempts to block and forcing him back. Like stars descending, going wherever it liked until lightly dotting on the center of Jueyu’s brows.

When this situation happened, even the grade 9 experts who expected it all gave out a sigh.

The hundred thousand cultivators were buzzing. Numerous of them stood up and looked in the sky.

Their expressions were complicated, and most of them filled with awe.

Their eyes were filled with pity and shame for Jueyu, his fairytale, and legend of sweeping the 10 shrines and 19 spiritual houses. They also felt awe from Tanqiu’s shooting star-like rise.

“Tanqiu won...”

“From the young generation and defeating Jueyu.”

“How amazing, I long for more!”

“10 days ago, Xuechu fought Jueyu and lost in 146 swords. Today Tanqiu fought Jueyu. After 8 hours and 1450 swords, he won! This common people path isn’t something normal sects could compare to!”

“These 2 people are worth their reputation as pinnacle swords! Only, how are the 4 others like?”

Within the common people vast habitat, out of all the disciples, in an unassuming corner. Xuanye was looking in the sky with a startled expression.

...In 1.5 years, she had never stopped working hard. Even during these few months, she hadn’t rested for even a moment.

However, why was the gap between Tanqiu and her so huge?

Out of the 2 of them, no matter who it was, she couldn’t even take a single sword!

Suddenly she thought back to what her master said. That from start to finish, she was living in a greenhouse, never experiencing rain and wind. Jueyu since he started cultivating at 15, fought 300 battles. From grade 5 starting his growth, pretty much every day was in danger, training in life and death.

He said that this person’s sword wasn’t something she could compare to.

...This might be the reason for the gap between Jueyu and her.

However, why is this Tanqiu like Jueyu, even a level better than him? That sword technique seems like it had been through thousands of battles and hardships. Well trained whilst not losing its exquisiteness...

Beside her, Yongqin curled her lips. Her tone was slightly weird. It was filled with happiness whilst also a little unwilling to admit defeat, ” Tanqiu won. It seems like I underestimated him! Forget it, seeing how he won this time, I won’t argue with him.”

Chenrou broke into a laugh when she heard that. She thought to herself that she didn’t underestimate him, but wished he would make a fool of himself such that she could vent her frustration. However, she knew that Yongqin didn’t have any nefarious intent.

Out of the group of people, one more person was standing there. It was Yuanfei who looked in the sky with an ashen white expression.

Suddenly, a bell like laugh spread in their ears, “Isn’t that great junior nephew Feiyuan? What are you doing here?”

Yuanfei turned around his head to take a look. He saw Xuechu sitting on a sword. She was flying in mid-air, smiling as she looked at him, her eyes filled with joy.

“In the end, my young master won! You can’t change your name, so how?”

Yuanfei’s expression turned ashen white to green, green then white. In the end, he sighed and bowed towards Chuxue.

“From today on I, Yuanfei, will be called Feiyuan. Until the sect disciples recognize me, first seat Tan and miss Xuechu allows it, I won’t change my name!”

Following which he walked towards the vast habitat in a wobbly manner in dejection.

Chuxue was startled when she saw that, using her fingernails to scratch the corner of her head in confusion.

For some reason, she felt guilty.

It was like changing this name was a huge blow to this Yuanfei?

Unfortunately, at this moment Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan weren’t there. If they were, then they should know how to deal with the situation.

In the air, Zong Shou’s silver-colored energy sword maintained for just a moment before dissipating. At the center of Jueyu’s brows, blood seeped down.

At the last moment, Zong Shou did have the ability to kill Jueyu on the spot! However, at the last moment, he retracted the sword energy.

Jueyu was at a loss. After adjusting his breath, some color appeared in his eyes.

“This is the 2nd defeat after I lose to sword maniac Yuan Wushang! I have fought 324 battles in my life and only lost to you two!”

Sword maniac Yuan Wushang was the original head of the three pinnacle swords.

Zong Shou’s soul power still hadn’t recovered much. The 18 true spiritual talismans and the black and white holes were still dried up.

This battle pretty much damaged his essence. Without a few days of cultivation, such a manner of recovery would not help him regain much soul power.

He couldn’t speak and could only quietly listen.

“However, I fully accept this 2nd defeat!”

Jueyu said before giving himself a self mocking laugh, “2 years ago I came out of seclusion to challenge the various sects. It was to complete accumulation of the sword path to try to break through, to prepare to face sword maniac one more. Who knew that at the 5th vast habitat, I would meet a person like you. In this world, there is truly someone who is on the same level as Wushang in terms of sword path attainments!”

Zong Shou cupped his fists to imply that he was praising him too much. Jueyu looked at his hand.

“However, the outcome is not bad! I have gained a lot from this battle. Asking myself, I have already grasped the path to sword technique being one with the spirit. In my battle with sword maniac, I will have a bit more confidence. Only after today, I will have one more person I need to chase and defeat!”

Zong Shou slightly shook his head. It was lucky that he won today, it was just a thin line between victory and defeat.

Jueyu’s talents were actually on the same level as his. However, he was at the sword soul level and it was much easier to see through and break this great extinction sword.

When this person returned to digest and absorb what he gained from this time, to defeat him wouldn’t be as easy as this time. There was no talk of chasing up.

He also knew that after he had broken through to the heaven realm, his attainments from the last life had been used up. In the future, if he wants to advance, it wouldn’t be so easy anymore.

“I don’t know how you managed to train up your sword technique at such a young age. You are even better trained than me, more domineering. It was like you had been through loads of slaughter. The dazzling aura you give off seems blessed by the heavens, like the emperor of the sword, making one willingly follow and admit defeat...”

When he said that, his eyes were slightly dazzled. Like he was thinking back to something, losing his focus.

Zong Shou was speechless, what dazzling aura given by the heavens, emperor of the sword? Why didn’t he feel the same way?

Jueyu didn’t bother about him, distracted for a moment before coming back to his senses.

“This battle has ended, so there is no point for me staying. I also don’t want to be mocked by those people, so I will take my leave now! I just hope that before I come and challenge you once more, you won’t lose to anyone else! Oh right, this time I am pretty shameless, remaining here to force you to fight, I am in the wrong! I apologize for that!”

Leaving just as he said he would, when he said those words, he had already directly left this void fissure.

At this moment, those hundred thousand cultivators were in an uproar.

“The dazzling aura you give off seems blessed by the heavens? It does seem that way!”

“Emperor of the sword? He deserves the name...”

“2nd in the cloud world six pinnacle swords, sword emperor Tanqiu!”

Zong Shou flew in the air, able to hear the voices of the people below. However, he felt it was too much of praise and felt slightly nervous.

In the last life, he was one of the top players and was listed as one of the seven emperors. He was called the sword emperor which he would gladly accept.

However, in an era where talents and heroes emerge, he didn’t dare to be called the sword emperor.

Moreover, outside of the cloud world, there were many more worlds where spirit realm experts roamed around and celestial realm experts flew in the skies.

Just as he frowned slightly, Hanfang’s voice sounded out beside him.

“From today on, junior brother’s name spreads through the entire cloud world! Freshly out of the oven 2nd pinnacle sword, how do you feel?”

His tone was filled with a teasing intent. However, after he said that, he shot out a spiritual light into his soul.

It seemed like a drop of spiritual liquid. The moment it entered the body, Zong Shou felt a cooling and refreshing feeling.

A small half of his dried-up soul power had recovered. Although his soul ocean still felt a little uncomfortable, it did cause his soul body to stabilize.

As for Hanfang, he laughed once more.

“From today on, junior brother is in the eyes of everyone. You wouldn’t be able to be at peace anymore...”

Zong Shou’s brows rose before regaining calm. It was best if he could live a low profile life. However, if he couldn’t, then he didn’t care.

In the last life, he already knew that he was not a person to be able to hide.

“What is there to fear?”

Whilst speaking, Zong Shou looked at his hands. He felt like his sword intent seemed to have a breakthrough.

He wanted to try a sword right away to see if that was the case...
