Chapter 605: Who Won and Who Lost? (1/2)

Chapter 605: Who Won and Who Lost?

I have to break his momentum. The Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique is more powerful than I expected, Chu Chaoyun thought to himself as he watched the increasingly stronger Xiao Chen.

“Xiu!”

Suddenly, Chu Chaoyun twirled his sword. The sky filled with a solid light that turned into a heavenly sword and shot towards the scarlet maelstrom of electricity above Xiao Chen.

“Pervading Heaven and Earth is a righteous spirit, overwhelming in the world of men;

It creates the stars above and the mountains and rivers below;

Clearly Heaven and Earth exist; how could it fear the demons?”

[TL note: This is adapted from a Chinese poem called The Song of the Righteous Spirit. You can look up the t.i.tle in Google to see what it actually is and what it means. It is translated into English but it is rather lengthy.]

Suddenly, resonant song rang out in the vast night. The impa.s.sioned singing voices reverberated, sounding as if there were thousands of people singing together.

In the beam of light, Chu Chaoyun directed the thousands-strong choir with quivering lips. Filled with a righteous spirit, the sword Qi gathered in the sword of light together with the singing, granting that heavenly sword a dazzling splendor.

Chu Chaoyun had a serene expression as he ama.s.sed a vast Divine Might. A divine voice echoed in all directions: “Heaven and Earth are unfair, not differentiating between good and evil. Black and white are inverted. Since that is so, what is the point of Heaven? Might as well chop it down!”

Chu Chaoyun stopped singing and shouted, “An overwhelming righteous spirit exists in the heart, magnanimous like a gentleman, not fearing the demons nor the heavens!”

He drew his finger through the air, and the dazzling, resplendent heavenly sword ripped a tear in s.p.a.ce that was darker than the night as it flashed by.

“Xiu!”

Silent and traceless. The spatial tear that the heavenly sword tore open remained open for a long time. With a ‘shua’ sound, it ripped the horrifying maelstrom of electricity in the sky in half.

As the singing went on, Chu Chaoyun waved his hand and tore the sky, instantly extinguis.h.i.+ng the foundation of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique—the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Chu Chaoyun’s act of waving while encased in the beam of light containing Divine Might seemed to have become an eternal motion. He was like a heavenly deity walking on earth, holy and existing forever.

Chu Chaoyun’s words were righteous. When he said to exterminate the heavens, it was because heaven was unfair and not him being arrogant and unreasonable, offending the Heavenly Might.

Seeing this shocking scene, the crowd remained speechless for a long time. They could not think of any words to describe what they were feeling.

The shock that this final match gave them was too great. Earlier, the two were fighting equally and exchanged hundreds of moves. Between the two of them, they easily turned the Wind Cloud Platform into rubble.

A regular Inferior Grade Martial Monarch would not be able to break the Wind Cloud Barrier. However, it did not seem difficult for these two to break it.

Xiao Chen had just gained the advantage and borrowed the might of the Heavenly Dao to suppress Chu Chaoyun.

Just when the crowd felt the battle was tipping in Xiao Chen’s favor, Chu Chaoyun immediately countered. Within a moment, Chu Chaoyun managed to destroy the might of the Heavenly Dao and turn the situation around. The crowd did not even have time to react to it.

In midair, Xiao Chen’s expression immediately changed. The momentum of his saber vanished when he was just halfway through the move; not a single bit of it remained.

With the foundation destroyed, the aura in Xiao Chen’s body received damage as well. His internal organs surged, and he could not help but vomit a mouthful of blood.

“Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!”

Xiao Chen immediately stopped. Then, he held his saber in front of himself and pushed off with his feet, quickly moving backwards. The friction between his body and the air produced loud sonic booms.

Chu Chaoyun revealed a gentle smile on his somewhat pale face. Then, he said, “You think you can run? Sword, come here!”

He gently extended his hand and the sword in the air immediately flew over. Pus.h.i.+ng off the head of the dragon pillar, he leaped into the air, grasping the sword tightly with his right hand.

“Divine Might Eternal Light!”

Holding his sword once more, Chu Chaoyun focused his gaze. In that instant, he immediately exhausted half of the remaining solidified Essence in his body.

Seizing the initiative that the opponent lost, hanging on firmly to the advantage, and expanding it slowly—this had always been Chu Chaoyun’s style.

Now that Chu Chaoyun held the advantage, he immediately made a move, executing the strengthened Eternal Light.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Nine beams of golden light descended from the sky. Each time a golden light descended, it would illuminate Chu Chaoyun, giving everyone the impression he was teleporting in the air.

Chu Chaoyun moved a hundred meters with each step and he took a total of nine steps. With every step he took, he executed an Eternal Light. He sent out 99,900 sword strikes altogether, containing them and not releasing them until he finished the nine steps.

Catching up to Xiao Chen, Chu Chaoyun gave off a resplendent light, dazzling like the sun; night turned into day.

The drawn sword revealed an eternal light, tearing through s.p.a.ce; none could escape!

With the support of Divine Might, the nine Eternal Lights seemed to miraculously merge together. Everyone sucked in a deep breath of cold air.

One Eternal Light was already sufficient to cause severe injury to an ordinary Inferior Grade Martial Monarch. When nine Eternal Lights merged together, they would probably be enough to destroy an ordinary Inferior Grade Martial Monarch.

This is simply going overboard. You really think that I, Xiao Chen, have no means of counterattacking when you’re trying to injure me heavily in one move?

If you want to clash head-on, then I will grant your wis.h.!.+ Xiao Chen’s face turned serious as he quickly executed the Four Season Saber Technique’s final move—the Cycle of Seasons.

First Clap of Spring Thunder, Ten Thousand Beasts Cry Out; the blazing sun rose high in the sky, Burning to Desolation; the autumn rain drizzled, Fated Person in Autumn Waters; the winter’s white frost that looked like the moon, Grieving Frost!
