Chapter 75 – The Damned Sword (3/5)

translated by Pumpkin

The guards of the Elemental Fire City merely chased for a short period of time for appearance’s sake before stopping their chase.

The iron masked man, that is, Su Yun, immediately changed his clothes and appearance after he cast off his chasers, then returned back to the Elemental Fire City.

It must be said that his actions this time around were too sudden. He had neglected a lot of details.

If he were to kill Su Huoyu under the guise of robbery, not only would he be able to lessen a threat for Su Qing Er and allow her to not be tangled by Su Huoyu anymore, it would also allow her to not be in the this gathering for the academic exchange.

If Su Huoyu died, the Su Family would definitely have to investigate this matter. In that case, how would they possibly have the mood to participate in some academic exchange?

Although Su Qing Er would receive punishment because of this, but the main responsibility for Su Huoyu does not lie in her hands. Thus, the death of Su Huoyu would be able to easily allow her to escape from all that was about to occur.

Toward this final close relation of his, Su Yun was willing to give his all to protect her.

Unfortunately.

He had neglected a single point: Su Huoyu is the son of the Su Family’s patriarch. Although he was only the third son, he still obtained countless treasures from his father. Furthermore, the other members of the Su Family, in order to obtain favor from the patriarch, have also given Su Huoyu treasures from time to time.

How could the treasures bestowed by the patriarch possibly be inferior in quality? Although Su Yun had caught him unprepared, in the time of a life and death crisis, Su Huoyu managed to use those treasures to save his life!

Using the seventy thousand Spiritual Coins that he had scammed from Su Huoyu, Su Yun went to the Heavenly Sun Auction House and purchased a lot of first-rate drugs and medicines. He then returned back to the tavern and took medicines to heal his injuries.

Su Huoyu’s treasures were truly too astonishing. Even though he had dodged in time, he was still damaged and received some qi injuries. Luckily, they were nothing significant and likely wouldn’t hinder his future learning of martial arts.

Although he didn’t manage to kill Su Huoyu, =Su Yun didn’t feel that it was unfortunate. After all, he will still have more chances to kill him.

After spending an entire night on recovering and harmonizing his qi, Su Yun had finally recovered.

As there wasn’t much time, there wasn’t much of a point using this time to cultivate.

After pondering for a long time, Su Yun took out the sword sheath.

Having obtained Hu Qianmei’s talent and absorbed a large amount of ‘Three Elemental Vital Energy,’ his martial prowess had increased greatly. With his current strength, he should be able to handle a second sword now.

As Su Yun was pondering, he activated the sword arts.

The slender and thin black sword sheath did not appear dazzling at all. However, during the moment of its activation, the entire sword sheath started to emit various black lights. The dense Void Fragmentary Aura drifted through the entire guest room.

With the sword sheath at the limit, a door appeared above it. After entering this door, one would be able to enter the world within the Limitless Sword Sheath.

When the sword sheath was activated, the Sword Elder was immediately woken up. “Brat, you’ve prepared to obtain another sword?”

“Senior, with my current martial prowess of level four Spirit Intermediate Disciple, I believe it shouldn’t be to hard to obtain the second sword, right?”

“Right, although it isn’t hard…” The Sword Elder pondered for a moment before saying. “Mn, you can go. I’ll go with you so that you don’t do anything reckless. While this Limitless Sword Sheath is the grave of swords, it is also the grave of men. If you were to get killed by the swords in here, there wouldn’t be anything strange about it at all!”

“In that case, I shall bother Senior to guide me!!” Su Yun nodded.

After he finished saying those words, he stepped through the gate.

Chrip!

Hus surroundings started to twist. The light started to change. A line of sight appeared. It was like a light being lit within the darkness.

After his line of sight returned to normal, the Greater Dao of the Divine Swords once again appeared before Su Yun’s eyes. In the distance, the palace that buried the Origin Sword was faintly discernible, like an underground palace of ghouls.

Su Yun was still standing where he was before, the location where he obtained the Engraved Dragon Sword. No change had occurred in this place.

“Only after removing that Origin Sword within the palace would you be capable of going to other places to obtain swords.”

The Sword Elder spoke. His voice was dull. “Brat, you can go and get another one. Last time I have already told you that this one here is much weaker than the Engraved Dragon Sword that you held in your hand. With your current strength, subduing it should be extremely easy… Of course, you can also chose to obtain other swords that are even more powerful. Everything is depending on your own decision!”

Right after the Sword Elder’s said his words, Su Yun suddenly extended his hand and proceeded to grab the cyan colored sword that was thrust into the ground beside him.

Only.

Although his hand grabbed the sword’s hilt, he did not manage to pull it up.

Su Yun frowned. He immediately exerted all of his strength.

The sword started to slightly tremble. The sword blade in the jade ground also started to slightly move upward.

“This sword’s test seemed to be relatively easy. All you need to use is some strength, as well as perseverance.”

The Sword Elder said.

Hearing this, Su Yun increased his qi, causing his strength to increase. The cyan colored sword was soon to be pulled out. Only the tip of the sword remained in the jade ground.

Kachang!

Right when the tip of the sword left the jade ground and was completely pulled out, a cold ray of light swept past the sword blade. The sword energy started the sweep through the air. A murderous aura suddenly started to surge.

Su Yun’s heart tightened. He was unable to react. All he felt was that the sword hilt in his hand was violently vibrating. After that, the cyan sword broke away from Su Yun’s hand and flew into the air. It circled through the air and then, with the edge of the blade pointing toward Su Yun, it ruthlessly came slashing toward him.

“What?”

Su Yun was startled. He moved his hand toward the sword sheath and took out the Engraved Dragon Sword. Using that, he blocked the incoming cyan sword.

Clang!

After the first sword clash, Su Yun’s body was violently trembling.

Although that sword appeared to be extremely lightweight, it contained within it the power of ten thousand catties. Its power burst forth like a flood. The Engraved Dragon Sword was giving off a sensation that felt like it was about to be hacked in half by it.

“There’s two more sword strikes!”

At this moment, the voice of the Sword Elder sounded in Su Yun’s mind.

“Two sword strikes?” Su Yun was slightly startled. “Senior, perhaps you know about this sword?”

Woosh!

The cyan sword made a circle and hacked down toward Su Yun once more.

Su Yun’s eyes were opened wide. He didn’t dare to neglect in the slightest. He held up his sword to once again resist the incoming sword.

Clang!!!!!

As the sword slashed down, Su Yun’s knees felt weak. He almost kneeled down to the ground. His entire body’s bones felt as if he they were about to be split apart by the strength of the rumbling strength of the cyan sword. He clenched his teeth and, with two frantically trembling arms, held up the Engraved Dragon Sword to resist the bombardment of the cyan sword. Sweat started flowing down his cheeks. It appeared that he was going to be unable to resist it anymore, at any moment.

“Not bad, not bad!” The Sword Elder said in laughter. “Only the final sword strike remains.”

Whoosh!

Once again, the sword came cutting down!

Su Yun’s eyes were wide open as he stared at that descending sword. He finally roared lowly. He burst forth his energy and slashed his Engraved Dragon Sword toward the incoming cyan sword.

However, unexpectedly…
