Chapter 47 - Immense Killing Intent (1/2)
"Alright, I'll listen to you then, let's name it [Boundless Great Sword Qi]."
Zhong Yue gave in to Xin Huo and allowed him to change to name of "[Geng Jin Sword Qi]." He then thought, This Xiang Dragon Sword Qi that I cultivated could've been even smaller. The more robust my strength is, the more comfortably I can control my power. If I insist on cultivating it into a bigger Sword Qi, it would not only make it difficult to control, and the Sword Qi would also lose its flexibility and strength.
At this, he had a completely different opinion with Xin Huo. A bigger Sword Qi would be better suited for hordes of low-leveled enemies and could sweep them away easily, but the smaller the Sword Qi is stronger when fighting with a strong opponent!
Whereas for people who could quickly recover the entire Beast God seal like Xin Huo, a humongous Sword Qi would be even more satisfying as they could just crush their opponent with just raw and absolute strength.
However, that level was currently far too distant from Zhong Yue's reach so he must keep on polishing his Sword Qi to reach that level.
Xiang Dragon Sword Qi, invincible, razor sharp and also flexible. I must polish it and make it even smaller before the Lawless Battle at the end of the year!
Zhong Yue flew into the skies to temper his soul and also his Xiang Dragon Sword Qi with the help of the thunder, and he murmured, This is all because I might have an encounter with her… Tian Myriad Mother!
Don't worry Junior Martial Sister Shui as in no time. I will avenge you by killing this filthy demon god in the Lawless Battle!
As time slowly passed, the effort he poured in on the cultivation of the [Boundless Great Sword Qi] increased, he began to understand more about this technique with the Lawless Battle approaching right around the corner.
Zhe——
A loud and clear sound could be heard as a Sword Qi flew out from Zhong Yue's finger. The Sword Qi was red in color and it was about five or six inches in length. It danced around his fingers nimbly.
The Sword Qi behaved just like a fish as it suddenly moved and transformed into a little Xiang Dragon of about five or six inches in length and ran around his fingers livelily.
After another few moments, the Xiang Dragon changed into one tiny Sword Qi strand after another and buried itself into his hairs. It appeared nondescript as it transformed into a strand of red hair that hid among the thick black hair.
Unlike the others, if someone cultivated their Sword Qi, they would make it as big as possible and as majestic as possible. Zhong Yue however, took the opposite route and cultivated it into as small a size as he could.
The Sword Qi that was initially five to six feet long was now merely five to six inches. After being refined with lightning, the impurities in the Sword Qi had been removed, and the Xiang Dragon Sword Qi was now even stronger and more malleable to Zhong Yue's control.
Ding——
A clear noise was made when the Xiang Dragon Sword Qi and dragon scale sword touched. A crack appeared on the body of dragon scale sword that had consumed twenty days of Elder Pu's effort!
The dragon scale sword is a high-class soul weapon, but it was effortlessly cut open by the Xiang Dragon Sword Qi. With that, the terrifying sharpness of the Xiang Dragon Sword Qi could be easily seen!
The old Qi Practitioner, Elder Pu, used up twenty days just to craft this sword, he gathered all assortments of dark-gold and darksteel and synthesized them with the Jiao Dragon Totem along with the Thunder Totem to craft this sword. But now, the Xiang Dragon Sword Qi that Zhong Yue just cultivated for merely a month time had easily surpassed the dragon scale sword, further attesting to the magnificence of the [Boundless Great Sword Qi]!
Zhong Yue dispersed the Xiang Dragon Sword Qi and summoned his soul back into his body. The Xiang Dragon Sword Qi went back into the scabbard while he thought, Everyone in the upper house is eligible to participate in the Lawless Battle, and Tian Myriad Mother will also join in this battle. I will use this Xiang Dragon Sword Qi as my trump card! With her strength, she will easily enter the final contest where I will cut her down!
The Lawless Battle organized once in a year has begun.
The upper house was bustling with noise as all of the upper house disciples armed themselves and prepared for the battle.
In this battle, those who won would be granted a chance to enter the Ethereal palace to consummate their spirits and become a Qi Practitioner!
With just that, one could imagine the significance of this battle!
"Brat Yue, this Lawless Battle can also be considered a proxy test to determine if you could meet my requirements."
Xin Huo laughed and said, "If you could make everything swift, fierce and strong, I will take you to the edge of the moon and sun so that you could sense the purest spirits of the moon and sun! Now, it is time to test yourself, go and crush every upper house disciples out there!"
Crush all the upper house disciples?
Zhong Yue remained expressionless. He exhibited a very calm temperament that belied his age and effused a dangerous aura around him, like the skies before a storm or a calmly smoldering volcano on the verge of erupting. He said in his heart, My aim is not that, just you… Tian Myriad Mother! But if I have to crush them in order to kill Tian Myriad Mother, I would not hesitate!
The day of the Lawless Battle had arrived, the golden summit of Swords Gate shined brightly. Golden rays were radiated from the peak of the Swords Gate which bathed the slanting mountains with golden sword energy.
One after another, elders of Swords Gate walked down from the golden summit and headed toward the Swords Gate's upper house. They were there to host the Lawless Battle and summoned the upper house disciples to the Five Pine Summit for the battle would take place.
Those who were training in the inner house also returned to the upper house, and there were many new faces in the upper house. Those new faces were probably all the core disciples of the top ten clans that had their own Qi Practitioners to guide them.
On the Five Pine Summit, Zhong Yue looked around and saw towers standing together surrounding the mountain. On top of the towers, the elders sat under the shade provided by the umbrellas and other items. Below the towers were the upper house disciples that slowly congregated together.
