341 The Sacred Flame Insignia Appears (1/2)
The Jiang Clan Patriarch looked coldly at Mo Wen. The aura of his body became stronger and stronger.
He seemed untouchable, like a porcupine. All this while, the Ming Jiang Sword had been his secret, as he had rarely had the opportunity to use it. Only when he encountered opponents, who he could not deal with, did he need to use this remarkable sword.
The only two people who had ever seen this sword before had both died at the end of its blade. Now, Mo Wen would join them.
After all, this youth was too terrifying. If he was not eliminated, he would become the the Jiang Clan's nightmare. Then, he would most likely destroy the large Jiang Clan. Therefore, today Mo Wen must die. Even if he had to die in the process, he would surely kill the youth here!
”That sword is no simple sword.” Jun Wulei said, his expression serious. Although his cultivation was above that of the Jiang Clan patriarch's, if the Jiang Clan patriarch wielded that sword, he could pose a serious threat.
He had seen this type of weapon in the Huatian Palace before. But, even in the Huatian Palace, this sort of weapon was rarely seen. He had never thought that the Jiang Clan would have one of them!
”It probably has some historical relationship with the mysterious forbidden land.” Demoness Gong raised her eyebrows slightly.
She immediately thought of the forbidden land. This was because she had seen something similar to the sword there. Also, it felt familiar to her, as though she recognized it from somewhere. But, alas, she could not recall exactly where.
As she struggled to remember, she subconsciously touched the spot between her eyebrows. Before leaving the Underground Palace, that bizarre Black Jade Throne seemed to have burrowed into her body. She was always curious as to where in her body it was hiding. She had not been able to find it on her own.
It could be that the mysterious longsword and the Black Jade Throne that was in her body were the same kinds of items. After all, the Dafang Sect had guarded the forbidden land for a few hundred years. For them to have been able to obtain a few mysterious items would not have been strange.
”Are you going to intervene?” Jun Wulei asked Demoness Gong.
Now that the Jiang Clan Patriarch had that longsword, Mo Wen would no longer be his match. Now, the old man be only be suppressed if the two of them intervened.
”Wait for a while. I believe in him.” Demoness Gong shook her head. She still had a deep confidence in Mo Wen. As for where that confidence came from, she did not know.
If Mo Wen could settle things himself, she would rather not intervene. After all, this was a man's problem. As a woman, it was not respectful for her to steal his limelight.
Also, her identity and reputation were sensitive. There were many ancient martial art practitioners gathered here, and if other people knew about her and Mo Wen's relationship, it would be very disadvantageous for them both.
”Then let's wait a bit longer.” Jun Wulei rolled his eyes. He really did not understand where Demoness Gong's confidence in Mo Wen came from. Even he would not necessarily be able to settle the old man on his own, and yet she believed that Mo Wen would win against him. He could only believe this if some miracle should suddenly happen.
...
”That's not a bad sword!” Mo Wen remained indifferent, unafraid, and light. It was as though he had not seen the terrifying longsword at all. He stood boldly, immovable like a mountain.
”Die!” the Jiang Clan Patriarch exclaimed in a low voice.
Then, with a leap, the sword in his hand released thousands of beams of light, which instantly flooded the entire square. He was utilizing the Dafang Sect's Square Sword Technique.
However, now that he was the one using it, while also wielding the Ming Jiang Sword, this caused the heavens and earth to be temporarily discolored. The surrounding light turned dark and a light breeze blew past. All of the trees surrounding the square were reduced to dust in the breeze.
The sophistication of the Square Sword Technique lay in its ability to kill in all directions. As such, there was basically no way to avoid its attack.
Mo Wen stood in the center of the square. It felt as though the heavens and earth had become a meat grinder. The Qi of Sword was raging everywhere, slowly pressing downwards. It was like the whole world was being destroyed and there was nowhere to hide.
Then, all of the bodies of those who died from the residue waves of the battle before instantly turned to dust. The fine and dense Qi of Sword directly sliced up their corpses into the finest particles. When the wind blew, these particles disappeared from the ground, as though they had become the breeze.
Mo Wen's expression turned solemn. In the face of such a frightening attack, he dared not dally.
A beam of golden black Yin Yang Swirls slowly appeared in front of him. It wrapped him in its center, then became bigger and bigger. It was like a tornado, shooting up to the sky and instantly covering a large area.
The heavens and the earth were filled with Qi of Sword. In an instant, they were all swept into the Yin Yang Swirls. Then, the beams of the sharp Qi of Sword frantically burrowed into the swirl. The black and golden swirl seemed to be a bottomless pit, gobbling up the Qi of Sword in large chunks.
The Qi of Sword was everywhere and truly frightening. As more of the Qi of Sword was gobbled up, the large swirl grew increasingly unstable. It seemed like it would collapse at any moment.
The Jiang Clan Patriarch coldly snorted. His silhouette faced off against the swirls and shot upwards. With a slash of the sword, a terrifying Qi of Sword slashed out horizontally, directly splitting the huge Yin Yang Swirls. Immediately, the Qi of Sword scattered everywhere and gales swept across the entire area.
Mo Wen did not back down. The golden light on his body became brighter and brighter. His golden body seemed to shimmer.
He then became a beam of golden light. He faced the windstorm, going against it as he moved. A formless ripple surrounded his entire body, cancelling out all of the Qi of Sword and Qi waves. The Heaven and Earth Great Shift's power was clearly shown, as not a single attack could touch him.
