Chapter 8: The Nan Huang Sword
“Brother…… did you get hurt?” Ye Ning Xue anxiously look over his body, with a tearful voice. Ye Wu Chen helplessly smile and pick her up, and put her in her previous position, touching her small nose and said. ”Listen to me, obediently stay here. I promise that nothing will happen this time.”
Ye Ning Xue was about to say something but finally didn’t, she looked at him and held her small hands tightly instead. She knew her brother was doing something dangerous.
Ye Wu Chen walked in front of the [Barrier] again, but this time he didnt look at the [Barrier] but on the ground which he was standing on. He lowered his head and walked back and forth with extraordinary dignified eyes. He then bent down and kept quiet for a while, lifting his right fist and gathered all the recovered strength and then brutally hits the ground.
A loud roar made the ground shake a bit, in front of Ye Wu Chen, a shallow pit which was more than half a meter deep and half a meter wide emerged. Ye Wu Chen felt a bit dizzy after using up all his energy again and tried to balance his body then he focused his sight and looked down to the ground. The shallow pit’s soil is surprisingly smooth, as if a mysterious power was protecting the soil which was below half a meter of the ground from being damaged. While a sudden flash of a golden light which made Ye Wu Chen’s eyes contracted was actually a sword hilt, it shone with blinding golden light. The sword was buried into the soil, but just the sword hilt which was exposed outside of the soil had a power of making people hold their breath.
What is this…
Ye Wu Chen put his hands onto the sword hilt without any hesitation. Immediately, soft golden light covered his hands. He then slightly pulled the sword out, the golden sword was slowly being pulled out of the ground with a ‘sizzle’ noise, shortly after, it completely came into sight.
Just after the golden sword was pulled out, the ground began to fiercely shake. Successive huge broken sound was heard. For the time being, the [Isolated Land] which no one could know how many years it has been isolated just fiercely shook just like a severe earthquake, all people and beasts was surprised and panic. In front of the grass house, the old man who was conserving his energy with closed eyes, the old man then opened his eyes and looked into the sky, then suddenly his expression change. ” The [Barrier]…… was broken!”
The shaking ground and roaring sound didn’t attract Ye Wu Chen’s attention at all, he just stared at the big sword in his hands. The sword has a handle of more than 30cm, a body of more than 2 meter, a cutting edge of more than 10cm. The whole sword is all golden and smooth like a mirror. No matter if it’s the sword body or the handle, he can’t see any other lines on them except a small word ”南” being sculptured on the sharp end of the sword. Just then, an ethereal voices reverberated in his mind…… (TL Note: 南 you read it as Nan and it also means southern)
“At the beginning of the Heaven and Earth, Chaos, gave birth to two of the earliest life form. They were born at the same time, and were sworn enemies. One took up the south of the world, while the other took up the north of the world. They separately called themselves [Nan Huang] and [Bei Di]. They had been fighting with each other for many years with no result, but it cause Chaos to break and it then formed the heaven, earth, humans, gods and demons…..
The voice in his head was suddenly interrupted just like being abruptly cut off without more contexts.
“You were calling me just now?” Holding on the sword, Ye Wu Chen with closed eyes asked in his mind.
“It is… it is me.” It was a girl’s voice, she revealed an obvious nervousness in her voice.
“Who are you?”
“I…. I don’t know.”
“Why were you calling me?”
“I don’t know.”
“Then… you know who I am?”
“I… don’t know.”
Ye Wu Chen’s forehead showed 3 black lines. ”Then what the hell do you know!”
The girl’s voice became more terrified, ”Please don’t get angry with me master, I really have no idea of who I am…… I just know my name is Nan Er and I was sealed in the sword. And you are my master and the only person who can save me.”
