Chapter 480 – A Broken Sword (1/2)
Li Qingshan let out a crazed burst of laughter and swung down with his blade.
With a crack, the fracture expanded across the entire sword.
The treasured sword renowned throughout the word was severed into two pieces just like that. Green light poured out from the crack, permeating the surroundings.
Regardless of the toughness of the sword, it was unable to escape the fate of being destroyed when it sustained such forceful damage without the support of spiritual qi.
Fu Qingjin felt like a bolt of lightning had just struck him. He was thrown into a daze, spraying with blood violently.
The blood-red blade and the Green Ruins sword had clashed countless times. They had already become riddled with damage. Now, it turned to fragments with the Green Ruins sword.
Fu Qingjin flew into a frenzy, lunging over madly. This was a sword that had been passed down in the Sword Collection palace throughout the ages. This was a sword even more important than his life. If he lost this sword, what right did he still have to return to the Sword Collection palace and face the palace master, the elders, and his master!?
He took out a handful of scarlet talismans from his hundred treasures pouch. He could no longer care about whatever oath he had sworn. He wanted to drag Li Qingshan down with him.
Li Qingshan casually tossed out the hilt of the blade and struck Fu Qingjin’s chest.
With the Green Ruins sword broken, both Fu Qingjin’s body and mind suffered extremely heavy damage. His cultivation had receded drastically, so it was impossible for him to dodge or block that. He was unable to turn into green light and drift away anymore, nor did he possess a body as tough as metal.
With the sound of cracking bones, the talismans were thrown into the air.
“Fu Qingjin, that’s the end to our grievance!”
Li Qingshan held back the killing intent in his heart. Having reached a point like this, slaughter had already become pointless. Leaving Fu Qingjin to bear with the pain of losing the Green Ruins sword was the best revenge there was.
A daemon core that came from a thousand years of cultivation for a sword that had been passed down for a thousand years. This was very fair.
Fu Qingjin fainted once again.
Before they knew it, the dark clouds had gathered over once more. The battlefield under the clear skies gradually shrunk.
“We’ve failed!” Liu Zhangqing murmured. The gloominess infected all the cultivators.
This was not only a single failure. The one-sided strength the moon demon had demonstrated left everyone astounded. In this realm of cultivation, did he still have any opponents? If he wanted to massacre them all, just who could stop him?
“Northmoon, I order you to kill him!”
A voice seeped out from underground, clear like silk. Everyone heard it. The Spider Queen saw how Li Qingshan wanted to let Fu Qingjin go, so she issued an order.
Li Qingshan frowned. He extended his hand and scooped up the unconscious Fu Qingjin. As long as he tightened his grasp gently, a genius of the Sword Collection palace would die here.
Just as everyone thought he would follow the Spider Queen’s order and deal with this problem for good, he instead tossed Fu Qingjin towards the human cultivators in the distance, leaving everyone surprised.
Liu Zhangqing caught Fu Qingjin and glanced at Li Qingshan in surprise. “Fellow Hua Ci, please tend to him immediately!”
“I hope that even without this sword, there will be a day when you can still stand before me and take me on in a real battle.”
In his groggy state, Fu Qingjin vaguely heard a familiar voice say that.
The Spider Queen was stunned. She never expected Li Qingshan to actually defy her order. Her beautiful face twisted into a mess.
“Northmoon, I order you to kill them all, or you will face the worst punishment possible!”
Alright!
Li Qingshan unfurled his wings of wind and arrived before the cultivators in a flash. His scarlet eyes glanced past the face of every cultivator.
“Get him together, everyone! I refuse to believe we can’t even deal with one of him with all of us!” Cheng Kaishan bellowed out loudly. The cultivators were all on the verge of fighting. They flashed with light as they gripped spiritual and arcane artifacts in their hands, poised for battle at any time.
Li Qingshan stood with his arms crossed, smiling silently. Figures appeared one by one behind him. The night roamers had all gathered over, proving it was not only one of him.
Faced with this colossal disadvantage, Cheng Kaishan’s face sank. He was unable to say anything else.
“Wait. Moon- Northmoon, what do you want to say?”
Liu Zhangqing stopped the cultivators and went up to receive him. He remembered how he had chased away a crying child in Clear River city in the past. He was not bloodthirsty.
Li Qingshan opened his mouth and let out a great yawn. He waved his hand impatiently. “Don’t bug me again in the future.”
“Yes! Let’s go!” Liu Zhangqing was taken aback at first before beaming in joy. He thanked him with a bow before turning around and telling everyone that.
Many of them were dissatisfied, but at a time like this, who was still bold enough to stay behind and play the hero? They all rode off on their artifacts. Even Cheng Kaishan left with the group, afraid to fall behind.
Underground, the Spider Queen flew into a rage. She ground her teeth. “Northmoon!”
Li Qingshan smiled and thought to himself, Lolth, don’t even think about using me as entertainment anymore. Of course, I don’t mind pleasing you in a different way.
However, as the cultivators all retreated, one person remained where he was, without budging at all. He glared at Li Qingshan. He was the greatest within the Clear River prefecture, the slovenly daoist priest, Zhou Tong.
He was wrapped in sparks as his messy daoist robes glowed with light. He seemed like a deity.
The Lightning Slaughter wooden sword in his hand flickered with lightning, like a bolt of lightning directly plucked out of the sky. He directly pointed it at Li Qingshan as he glared at him furiously.
“Fellow Zhou, don’t bite off more than you can chew!” Liu Zhangqing called.
