Vol 20 Chapter 28 (1/2)

Book 20, Jindan Upgrade, Chapter 28 – The Mournful Sword

The golden-robed youth standing before Ji Ning had very gentle eyes He looked towards Ning in a very affectionate way, as though he was looking his most beloved lover

“Eh?”

For souardian stared at hi Instead, he turned to look at the enorun to appear on its surface As he had battled his way past the guardians, the sword-arts he had encountered had becoly for

In fact, Ning could sense that all of these sets of sword-arts were guiding him towards the li hih there were many types of sword-arts in the Three Realms, aside from the [Five Treasures] which had surpassed the Heavenly Daos, no sword-arts had inspired him and helped him as much as these ones had

“The major poho created Underround The sword-arts he has left behind have been tremendously beneficial to me, but he’s also done the same for the other Empyrean Gods, some of whom use spears, staves, scimitars, and other weapons No matter eapon is used, the Path of Blades will produce a different,was stunned by the implications

This further reinforced the truth to Ning that the primordial chaos truly was filled with all possibilities The Three Realle little chaosworld within the infinite primordial chaos

To sit at the bottom of a well and stare at the tiny portion of sky that was visible and believe it to be the entirety of the heavens…that would truly be a joke

Since he eak, he had to work hard and train hard tocelebrated the fact that he had been able to come to Undermoon Lake and become more powerful

“This sword-art is quitewatched, a look of veneration appeared in his eyes “Lingering affection? Longing? The na Sword’”

The sword-arts were displayed on the sword three times, then vanished

Whoosh

Tords appeared in the hands of the golden-robed youth He lowered his head to look at the swords, his gaze very gentle In a soft voice, he said, “It’s tiht”

“Right” Ning nodded, a pair of swords appearing in his own hands as well

The golden-robed youth s sentle breeze, and his sword-light was like a gentle breeze as well It see could sense a tre from it

If he hadn’t had the chance to view the complete sword-art three tie disadvantage However, Ning no this sword-art, the ‘Longing Sword’, with inco with it Tords in his hands, he sent his oord-light howling forth at the speed of light, using the ghostly and unpredictable ‘Shadowless’ stance to launch a frenetic series of attacks!

Sometimes, his swords would be tremendously ferocious that they would actuallyfast and slow made them even more unpredictable

Clearly, Ning’s sword-arts were far deadlier than they had been when he had first e had reaped uardians

“Blood Drop stance”

His sword-art suddenly transformed into the fastest attack of all, the Blood Drop stance

However, the enemy’s sword-art was like an endless, botto’s tords

“Longing…” Ning was gaining inning, he had only been able to rely on what he had seen on the giant sword Now, upon actually fighting against a person identical to hihts were different Ning gained an even better understanding of how some of the killer blows of this sword-art truly worked

“Coh” Ning’s sword-art began to change as well, beco even more unpredictable and ephemeral

Shadowless stance, Blood Drop stance The two joined together into a more perfect whole, and fewer and fewer flaws appeared when he attacked and withdrew

“Eh?” The golden-robed youth frowned Instantly, his body blurred for a inning to assault Ning with six swords

Ning ie as well

Slash!+

A streak of sword-light landed upon the golden-robed youth’s neck, knocking his sword aside and forcing him back five steps before he was able to stabilize himself

The golden-robed youth stared at Ning, then said in a low voice, “Your sword is faster than mine, but the intrinsic essence of your sword-art…it’s a bit inferior to uardian’s sword has also reached the limits of the Heavenly Daos, while the essence of his sword-art is also superior to yours”

“Really? Being stronger than rinned

“Be careful” The golden-robed youth disappeared into thin air

Ning let out a sigh of relief He had finally succeeded

Not hesitating at all, Ning continued to advance A short while later, he saw the ninth guardian Upon seeing hi towards him

“That invisible essence and aura is only growing h to hie of swordforce, ‘Sword God’, one doesn’t even have to attack; the invisible sword-intent radiating out froh to force enemies to feel utter despair The Path of Blades…not only is it guiding me towards a path that surpasses the Heavenly Daos, it’s also guiding e of swordforce”

The eight guardian’s ‘Longing Sword’ already had a hint of that quality to it

The ninth guardian, just by standing there, was already radiating a strong aura of despair Clearly, he was even more formidable

However, coe of swordforce, ‘Sword God’, the ninth guardian was still far, far inferior

He was nothing ’s heart, a seed which perhaps would eventually take root and grow in the future

“Look at the sword-art” The ninth guardian said these words very calmly

Ning siant sword nearby As he watched, his face slowly began to change Every single stance, every single stroke…it all caught Ning’s full attention, tugging on the deepest, innerhts in his heart Thewas affected by it

“Why?”

In his past life, Ning was tormented by illness His heart had been filled with resent reborn, his father Ji Yichuan and hisit

“Father Mother”

Serpentwingn Lake Ning was lying atop that wooden boat, floating atop the lake

“No…”

That instant when Yu Wei had died He had felt such despair that he hione Even Yu Wei was gone
