Chapter 1222 - I’m a man who carries a small world with him (1/2)

As he reached towards the virtuous lamia, Song Shuhang was already preparing himself to hear the hot-blooded background music as he pulled out Scarlet Heaven Sword.

However, this time, there was surprisingly no background music that came playing out…

Scarlet Heaven Sword’s bold voice resounded. “Hurry and use me, Song Shuhang!”

The virtuous lamia slightly opened her mouth and spat out Scarlet Heaven Sword. After that, she picked up the sword and handed it to Song Shuhang

Song Shuhang asked, “Has the virtuous lamia changed?”

I wonder if I’m just seeing things. The current virtuous lamia has become a lot more reserved. She did not play any background music, nor did she ask me to draw the sword from within her.

All of these changes only began to set in after Ye Si’s body had been possessed by Cheng Lin.

It’s better for her to be reserved, at least she won’t just suddenly yell ‘aaah’, then fall to the ground and play dead. Now, she won’t suddenly place others in really embarra.s.sing situations.

After receiving Scarlet Heaven Sword, Song Shuhang’s momentum rose.

Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, how many times can we use the Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique today?”

Scarlet Heaven Sword excitedly said, “Your current body is in a liquefied state, so I can’t determine how many times you can withstand the pressure of the ‘Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique’. Try it out first so that we can gather some data.”

Song Shuhang asked, “Eighth Stage or Ninth Stage level?”

Scarlet Heaven Sword suggested, “Let’s try peak of the Eighth Stage first. The pressure of the Ninth Stage is too great. If your current body is unable to bear it, you will be in big trouble.”

“Alright.” Song Shuhang turned his wrist and condensed saber intent. He lightly flicked Scarlet Heaven Sword, and then got flames and saber qi to wrap around the entire body of the sword.

On the other side.

The One-Horned Venerable was delighted when he saw Song Shuhang stop and prepare to fight—if Profound Sage Tyrannical Song chose to not say anything and simply turned around and ran, their group might not be able to catch up with the other party.

However, since Profound Sage Tyrannical Song stopped, there was a better chance of them stalling the other party. The longer they stalled him, the better.

Now, they only had to wait for their ancestor to come over and take action. At that time, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song would surely be captured.

The One-Horned Venerable gravely said, “Be careful, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song is about to attack. This sword technique of his is terrifyingly powerful, and his saber intent is very scary. Do your best not to get hurt by the saber qi flames.”

But as soon as he finished saying that, he felt that something was off. Sword technique? Saber intent?

Profound Sage Tyrannical Song is holding a sword, but he’s also using saber intent. Is he using a sword for a saber move?

While he was speaking, Song Shuhang had already raised his sword.

(Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique), slas.h.!.+

“Boom-” The blazing flames burst out from

Scarlet Heaven Sword’. These flames carried with them the intent of burning the sky and boiling the seas. They were powerful enough to burn everything.

The flames spread and wrapped around Song Shuhang’s body.

The surrounding temperature rose sharply.

With Song Shuhang as the center, the ground cracked, the water vapor evaporated, and the vegetation wilted. It was as if the end was coming.

However, this was just the beginning.

As Song Shuhang slowly raised his sword, the flames burned even more fiercely, and the temperature in the surrounding s.p.a.ce rose sharply.

…He needed some time to gather the power. After all, he was merely borrowing the (Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique) from ‘Scarlet Heaven Sword’, so it was impossible for it to slash out as his normal saber moves would.

On the opposing side, the lips of the One-Horned Venerable and the beast cultivators behind him became chapped, while their bodies felt as if they were being robbed of all water. Even the spiritual energy in their bodies felt like catching fire.

The realm of this saber intent and these flames did not seem like something at the level of an Eighth Stage Profound Sage; instead, it seemed like something at the level of a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender.

The One-Horned Venerable and the group of Fifth and Sixth Stage Realm beast cultivators behind him prepared themselves.

A Sixth Stage True Monarch beast cultivator with a wolf tail gravely said, “Facing such a powerful saber technique, our large formation will not be able to hold. Venerable, we won’t be able to block this move.”

The One-Horned Venerable responded, “The first Sage in a thousand years really is quite extraordinary. You guys retreat first!”

The large formation that they had prepared would be of no use. That formation could only resist the attack of an ordinary Eighth Stage Profound Sage; it would prove to be of no use in the face of the flaming saber of the ‘first Sage in a thousand years’.

However, just as the One-Horned Venerable issued the retreat order, the Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique already arrived before them.

The long time needed for the build-up of the big move did not mean that the speed of the strike would be slow.

The sword rose and descended.

The Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique’s saber flames turned into a sea of flames that blanketed the One-Horned Venerable and the beast cultivators behind him.

At this moment, the One-Horned Venerable and the beast cultivators could see nothing but flames.

“Aaaah-” The bodies of two Fifth Stage beast cultivators came into contact with the flames, and they screamed as they burned into ashes in mere moments. Even their souls were burned into nothing.

However, those two men were only the beginning. As the sea of fire gathered, another four Fifth Stage beast cultivators had set foot on the burning path of no return.

The One-Horned Venerable yelled, “Everyone stay close to me.”

In the blink of an eye, they had lost six Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperors; such a loss would pain the heart of any sect.

The remaining Fifth and Sixth Stage Realm beast cultivators gathered around the One-Horned Venerable.

After that, the Venerable forcefully crushed a ring he had on him.

The fragments of the ring floated in the air and transformed into dark runes that then floated around them. These runes met the overwhelming flame that came bearing down on them.
