Chapter 21: The Evil hell’s Sword
Ah Dai thought, he was going to go to the Death Mountains soon, and he had no idea what kind of monsters there were In order to successfully return to see his Teacher Gliss, he decided to just learn it Uncle Oas right, it is fine as long as I have kind intentions, I’ll just use the shen facing evil ht about this, Ah Dai undid his robes, revealing the leather sack underneath
The black jewel on the hilt of the hell’s Sword faintly e, Ah Dai clenched his teeth and took out the whole unsheathed sword In order to prevent the evil qi fro, he circulated his boundless true qi in order to fully cover the hell’s Sword A white light flashed, and the roohtened, while a faint layer of black qi came out from the ancient sword scabbard, a stark contrast to the white colored boundless dou qi
Even though it was covered by the boundless dou qi, the temperature of the room still dropped when the hell’s Sas taken out of the leather sack The waves of cold air, caused Ah Dai to shi+ver uncontrollably
With one hand wielding the hell’s Sword, Ah Dai carefully took out the sheepskin with the hell’s Sword Nine Techniques from the leather sack
Placing the hell’s Sword back into its original position, the evil qi dissipated and Ah Dai heaved a sigh of relief His hands that were holding the sheepskin were treht befall him after he learnt the hell’s Sword Nine Techniques However, he knew that Uncle Oould definitely not harht to be no complications Therefore, he decided not to hesitate further, and unraveled the sheepskin
At first, Ah Dai orried that there would be ht not be able to comprehend, but when he opened the sheepskin, he was instantly le word on the sheepskin, but only an extrerae symbols In the iant eyes, staring at him
Within Ah Dai’s consciousness, there seeaze froradually became clearer
“The hell’s Sword, the evillest sword on the continent, it was once the top Godly artifact of the Underworld For unknown reasons, it had landed in theYuan chanced upon it, obtaining the hell’s Sword Nine Techniques as well The evil qi of the sas too rainated from the Heavens and Earth, people who do not have a resolute mind, or profound reat catastrophe would befall them There are nine mnemonics of the hell’s Sword Nine Techniques, acco nine swordthis sword, I’ve only recorded the cultivation method, but never practiced it ht However, the last three moves seemed to possess a power that is not of this world, you must never carelessly attempt them, if not you will surely perish from the backlash Even experts with a profound level of et influenced by the evil of the sword, and turn into de the hell’s Sword from its sheath, it must absorb someone’s soul before it can return, if no ene the hell’s Sword Nine Techniques, you must cover yourself with life force to prevent the evil qi fro yourself Only practice the Techniques that are within your means, the moves can be learnt, but not to be carelessly executed Remember, most importantly, once you incite the evil powers of the sword, it is not easily withdrawn…”
By the time the voice stopped, Ah Dai was already covered in cold sweat Although he did not knoho the alcheuess that it was soo The moves can be learnt, but never to be carelessly executed However, where are the rae of a shadow flickered across his consciousness The shadow continuouslyone move after another, it did not require any effort of memorization, and the nine moves were etched firmly into Ah Dai’s mind
When the shadow finally faded away, there was a flash of bright light before Ah Dai’s eyes and the sheepskin returned to its original state, as though nothing had happened However, those nine raved into his mind Ah Dai panted non-stop, in just a short period of time, his clothes were totally drenched froue washed over hithThe sky outside was gradually beco that dawn had broken it felt as though everything had happened in a flash, yet it actuality, quite some time had passed
Of the nine moves, each one was more complicated than the previous one The moves seemed very simple, but each was accompanied by a mnemonic For example, for the First Move, the body of the shadow had one arm extended out, as he pulled out the sword from his chest area The sword tip was aimed towards the middle between the brows of another shadow before him, and the first shadow flashed across the latter This move was called hell’s Flash, and theof hell’s First Flash, hell’s Sword Heaven Splitting Earth Crasher
[TN: in Chinese, there are 7 words in the ed it to 11 (update the name in chapter 122)]
Ah Dai stood up, and went to the bathroo into a set of clean clothes This made him feel h his th had yet to recover hell’s Flash? hell’s Sword Heaven Splitting Earth Crasher? Do I just chant this while using the sword to stab towards the ene, “King of hell’s First Flash, Heaven Splitting Earth Crasher”
I his mneust of icy cold air instantly flowed across his body from his chest, and his body suddenly flashed across a certain distance according to his thoughts The hell’s Sword started eh it wanted to escape from its sheath
Ah Dai got a big fright, if the hell’s Sas to be unsheathed, it will ireat amounts of evil qi It would be beyond his control, once the evil qi spreads out, perhaps no one within a hundredof this, Ah Dai quickly ju the liquid boundless true qi in his dantian towards his chest A while later, an intense white light eht released faint waves of silver glow, barelyof the hell’s Sword
When the hell’s Sword had co, Ah Dai finally let out the breath he was holding He panted for a while, his right hand tightly pressed against his chest It’s too scary, really too frightening The icy cold feeling of that extrehtening, no wonder Uncle Oas able to become the top assassin of the continent with it
After a long time, Ah Dai finally calmed his emotions, but he was shocked to discover, that more than half of his boundless true qi was depleted It was probably depleted when he was suppressing the evil qi
The sky gradually brightened, and Ah Dai had no s and waited for Xuan Yue to wake up The first ti the hell’s Sword Nine Techniques, he had already expended all of his th and a half of his boundless true qi This caused Ah Dai to be fearful, and he no longer dared to carelessly recite thejust the et the desired effect, it was simply like a north recovers before practicing, this hell’s Sword is really dangerous, carrying it is like a ticking time bomb, that may explode anytime
Walking over and opening the , the earlybreeze carried a trace of coldness The sun had already risen, hanging high up in the east, looking like a huge red gem that was e sun, were not glaring to the eye, it see of vitality and life
Inhaling a deep breath of fresh air, Ah Dai’s spirit was lifted A new day had arrived, and the faraway Death Mountains are awaiting me!
“Ah Dai, Ah Dai” Xuan Yue’s voice came from beyond the door She had woke up really early!
Opening the door, Ah Dai saw that Xuan Yue’s co the white htly red, as if she did not have a good sleep
“Miss Xuan Yue, did you not sleep well yesterday?”
Xuan Yue hmpf-ed in reply, “Isn’t it all your fault! I’ve finally fallen asleep after tossing around, but only to be woken up froht” Yesterday, she had slept much poorer compared to the day before, she could not help but miss Ah Dai’s warm arms
Ah Dai got a scare, thinking that Xuan Yue had found out that he was practicing the hell’s Sword Nine Techniques Iized, “I’m sorry, I won’t do it in the future”
Xuan Yue pouted, “It’s good that you know your wrongs, how can you touch a girl’s body so easily? We are about to set off soon, you better listen to ive you a piece of that top-grade ic crystal”
“Yes, I am Miss’ attendant, I will listen to your orders,” Ah Dai nodded in reply
Facing Ah Dai’s humble attitude, Xuan Yue felt immense displeasure, and she remarked snidely, “You really are suited to be a slave, in just two days, you’ve already learnt how to be a servant?”
Ah Dai’s whole body treer filled his body, he clenched his teeth and glared at Xuan Yue, his eyes al fire
After she spoke those words, Xuan Yue was dumbfounded, and just stood there in a daze She did not understand why she would speak such hurtful words either, it was not her intention!
The two of the time
“I’o eat and head out directly” It was Xuan Yue who first broke the silence Her voice was monotonous, without any trace of emotions Xuan Yue turned and walked in the direction of the dining hall, while Ah Dai did not move He continued to stand there, until he saw Xuan Yue’s back disappear Letting out a faint sigh, he put on his red iant cloak Carrying his TianGang Sword and bag, he then walked towards the dining hall
Under such an aard athout their whole breakfast, none of them spoke
After leaving the inn, the two of them arrived at the West Gate Yue Hen and Yue Ji were already waiting there, but of the dozen mercenaries yesterday, only two remained, and in total, there were only four of them
Spotting Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, Yue Hen iician, you’ve arrived”
Xuan Yue looked at Yue Hen, and asked, “Why are there only four of you, where are the others of your Moon Scar Mercenary Group? Don’t tell ?”
Yue Hen gave a bitter sood brothers, and this erous, I can’t force them! Many of them still have families to care about, and there were only the four of us in the end, me, my sister, and these two brothers These two brothers are both orphans, so they don’t have any lingering attachments, and they were very interested in this adventure”
[TN: In Chinese, 兄弟 doesn’t ood buddy, or in this case, a good brother Only Yue Hen and Yue Ji are siblings, while the others are just referred to as brothers, not actually blood brothers!]
Xuan Yue replied in annoyance, “Hmpf! I hope that you won’t back out e reach the Death Mountains If not, let’s just disband right now”
“You can rest assured about this, us siblings will definitely not change ourLet me introduce you, this brother here is Wan Li, he’s proficient in the heavy sword; and that brother is Miao Fei, he’s proficient in quick-sword and body techniques” Wan Li had a tall and large stature, around the sa see Sword, but just slightly shorter His hair was pretty ed, he looked to be around 24 or 25 years old On the other hand, Miao Fei was much thinner and shorter, even shorter than Yue Ji by half a head His li his knees He had a perceptive look, and see Xuan Yue and Ah Dai Xuan Yue did not notice his sword, but looking at hi into laughter
Delight flashed across Miao Fei’s eyes as he smiled, “hello Miss, I a, suave and roirlfriend currently,… …”
Yue Hen coughed, and told Xuan Yue, “Miss ician, why not introduce yourself as well, we don’t know your name yet”
Xuan Yue glave Miao Fei a side glance, “I am Xuan Yue, this is ic”
Friend? Ah Dai was stunned, he never would have i forward, he said, “hello”
Hearing Ah Dai’s nae! Ah Dai, right?” Yue Hen saw the sword hilt peeking out from behind Ah Dai’s shoulder, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his eyes
Ah Dai nodded his head slightly, he did not dare face Yue Ji’s overbearing gaze, and only lowered his head to look towards Xuan Yue
Xuan Yue gave Yue Ji a dissatisfied glare, before continuing, “Let’s go” As she spoke, she grabbed Ah Dai’s sleeve, and led them out of the city
After exiting the city, Yue Hen took out a map “The Death Mountains are located in the South-West side, in order to get there, we h the territories of the Puyan Tribe and the Heaven’s Origin Tribe If we are fast, we can reach in about half a estions?”
“Eh, can’t we just go there directly, what suggestion do you need?”
Yue Hen explained, “I’ve never been to the Heaven’s Origin Tribe, so I’e tribe Even within the Commonwealth, they very rarely interact with people from other tribes, and only live within their own territory Also, they seeers, the Puyan tribesmen have very cold temperaments, I’ve been there once… Ay——, it was a horrible experience! At there, even if you wanted to buy stuff, no one would sell it to you”
Yue Hen’s words ignited Xuan Yue’s interest “Thatsome secret? If not, they won’t be so hostile”
Nodding, Yue Hen continued, “Perhaps so, we just need to pass through their territory As long as we try not to get into any conflicts with thein Tribe, it’s even more complicated, there are many different races there, and each race has their own characteristics, the journey ht not be very smooth! It’s better to be cautious on the way”
“What’s there to be afraid of, the cart will find its way around the hill when it gets there, let’s just get there first If we don’t provoke the is too slohy don’t we hire a horse carriage? It will be faster and less tiring,” Xuan Yue replied nonchalantly
Yue Hen laughed, “What? Hire a horse carriage? I’ve never heard of e, evenroups like the Red Hurricane Mercenary Group, would have their own cavalry unit I guess let’s forget about the horse carriage, at the most, let’s wait till we arrive at the next city, and buy some horses”
Xuan Yue grumbled, “Why are there so e, hmpf!”
While Xuan Yue and Yue Hen were talking, Yue Ji scooted over to Ah Dai’s side Looking at Ah Dai as half a head taller than her, she smiled and said, “hello Ah Dai, I am Yue Ji”
