Chapter 293: Flaming Saber: Simplified Edition
Translator: Stardu5t Editor: Kurisu
The Flaming Saber was indeed a very ordinary saber technique in the cultivation world.
It was a Second Stage technique—that is to say, a First Stage cultivator would be unable to use it as he or she pleased. Even if they learned how to activate it, upon execution, flames would not appear on their saber.
Only after the qi and blood energy within their bodies transformed to true qi would they be able to use the ‘Flaming Saber’ technique, channeling their true qi to create flames.
The flames that burn on the saber would be able to increase its destructive power, just like when Song Shuhang used the ‘Flaming Saber’ to create a crescent-shaped Flaming Saber qi earlier.
Its power was rather formidable for close combat, yet at the same time, it was capable of impressive long-range attacks as well. Amongst the staple cultivation saber techniques, it could be considered a rather decent technique.
...But inside Li Tiansu’s memories, Song Shuhang saw that the Flaming Saber had an extremely overbearing power when Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven executed it.
When he swung his saber, endless flames surged up violently on it; there was nothing they couldn’t burn, and it seemed as if they would keep burning forever.
That was a saber that could burn to the skies, enveloping the entire world in flames.
Facing Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven’s saber attack... even though Song Shuhang was just a spectator, he could feel his whole body burning up from head to toe and his entire mouth—including his tongue—drying up; even his blood felt like it was evaporating because of the heat.
❄️❄️❄️
At this moment, the memory of Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven using a branch as a saber to execute the Flaming Saber suddenly appeared in Song Shuhang’s mind again.
That memory was very clear—Song Shuhang could even distinctly remember the way Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven flicked his wrist and every little movement.
But the actions done when executing the saber technique were not that important, the most important thing was Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven’s saber intent when executing it; after all, that fire that burned to the skies… was the embodiment of Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven’s will.
At this moment, Song Shuhang seemed to have experienced Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven’s saber intent once more himself.
In midair, he instinctively flicked his wrists, clumsily imitating Senior Scarlet Heaven’s ‘saber intent’.
In the next moment.
”Boom!” A layer of flame was ignited on top of the treasured saber Broken Tyrant.
Except that these flames were a lot weaker compared to the ones ignited by the Flaming Saber attached to the bronze ring; it felt as though the flames would die out anytime—it was just a thin layer coating the treasured saber Broken Tyrant.
‘Flaming Saber: Simplified Edition’ should do for a tentative name, right?
Regardless, Song Shuhang succeeded!
The ‘Flaming Saber’, a technique that could only be executed by Second Stage cultivators, was forcibly executed by him who was still in the First Stage Realm.
The qi and blood energy in the four apertures within his body—Heart, Eye, Ear, and Nose Apertures—was channeled into the treasured saber Broken Tyrant. Even the energy the ghost spirit had acc.u.mulated was steadily channeled into the treasured saber Broken Tyrant.
Song Shuhang’s gaze was fixated on the eagle that was flying high up in the sky.
The eagle was frightened and had already flown higher and higher, whereas Song Shuhang kept descending—the distance between the two of them became almost ten meters in the blink of the eye.
”Ha!” Song Shuhang waved his hand once again and dragged the treasured saber Broken Tyrant in reverse before swinging it upwards in a slanted manner.
A small, pitiful flame lightly floated towards the eagle.
Song Shuhang’s cultivation was too weak; even with the help of the ghost spirit, when he used all his might to create the Flaming Saber qi, it was unable to create the crescent-shaped saber blade. He could only create a lightly floating flame that looked like it was gonna die out if the wind blew once.
The small flame no longer targeted the eagle’s neck; instead, it just floated towards its enormous body.
Even though the flame might be small and looked light and floaty, its speed was extremely fast! When Song Shuhang swung his saber, it had already struck the eagle’s enormous body a second later.
The eagle was unable to dodge it this time—its body was way too big, and no matter how it tried to dodge, it could not escape from the flame.
Additionally… this time, its instinct did not kick in—it didn’t sense any danger.
”Pow! ”
The small, small flame struck the eagle’s body. Thereafter… it dissipated.
It dissipated just like that. It did not seem to cause any harm to the eagle… not even the slightest bit.
It was completely different from the overbearing Flaming Saber blade earlier.
❄️❄️❄️
However, Song Shuhang, who was descending, secretly heaved a sigh.
He lightly clenched his fist.
”Screech~” At this time, the eagle in the sky suddenly let out a long cry. It used all its strength to flap its wings violently. However, that couldn’t stop it from descending to the ground.
At the same time… blood suddenly spurted from its back, just as though a candlelight-sized flame had penetrated through its back.
As if the spurting blood was a cue, dozens of wounds on the eagle’s back exploded with small flames shooting out from them in the next moment.
Every one of these flames carried the powerful heaven burning saber intent—earlier, when that ball of flame struck the eagle’s body, it did not dissipate but penetrated the eagle’s body instead. The Flaming Saber qi was released from the inside, thoroughly sending the eagle straight to its death.
The eagle struggled hard before its death, its talons unconsciously relaxing their grip.
Gao Moumou and the black uncle fell from the sky at the same time.
”Success,” Song Shuhang muttered.
