Chapter 314 - Uninvited Guests (1/2)
“What happened?”
Seeing that the Autumn Water Sword actually stopped right in front of Xiao Chen, almost everyone screamed out. Even those famous seniors and Elders in the audience immediately stood up in shock. “The Autumn Water is a Divine Weapon of the Archean Eon. Xiao Chen could never stop it even when he was in the Absolute Domain. Besides, Xiao Chen did not move at all. So what has happened?”
Xiaoyue was also greatly surprised. Hurriedly, she chanted faster and bellowed in a deep voice. “Autumn Water Sword! Get out of the sheath! Go!”
However, the Autumn Water Sword moved only 10 cm more forward, and it was reluctant to go any further to stab Xiao Chen. The sword body kept trembling. It seemed to make its utmost effort to resist Xiaoyue’s order.
Xiaoyue was so terrified that her face turned pale. All in a fluster, she was no longer the cold and elegant fairy from before. She muttered, “What is going on? How can this be? How can this be? Autumn Water Sword! Go!”
But the Autumn Water Sword stayed still. Xiao Chen was on the verge of tears. His eyes red, Xiao Chen asked in his heart, “Autumn Water Sword, thousands of years have passed. Can you still recognize me…?”
At this moment, all the history of his last life flashed across Xiao Chen’s mind, and countless chaotic thoughts tied with each other in a hundred and one ways in his heart.
However, as he saw the two lines of tiny characters at the end of the sword, the murderous killing intent was growing stronger in his heart. “If it were not for the fact that Qianyu Nishang set me up, how could Weiyang die because of me? How could my master be doomed eternally because I did something against God’s will…?”
“Ah —”
Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and gave out a long whistle. The Autumn Water Sword’s body trembled slightly. Then, it actually flipped itself over so that the sword handle was now in the hands of Xiao Chen.
Below them, the people’s faces changed color. Everyone knew that each Legendary Weapon had a life. These weapons would only recognize one master and would never fall into the hands of others easily, let alone that this was the Ancient Sword Autumn Water.
Watching Xiao Chen grab the Immortal’s Sword that came down to her from the ancestors, Xiaoyue, the descendant of the Ancient Immortal Clan, was not only panicked and at a loss about what to do, but also terrified by the sudden murderous killing intent that Xiao Chen displayed.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly and shot two streaks of ice-cold light at her suddenly. Xiaoyue trembled all over as if electric shocks had struck her. As a result, she actually went back a few steps.
“Look at me. I will teach you how to use the Autumn Water Sword!”
After that, Xiao Chen showed his compound sword tricks. Suddenly, on the Floating Platform, dazzling sword shadows were everywhere. Anywhere that the sword shadows moved past would faintly show the virtual images of winds, flowers, snowflakes, and moons. Everyone was so fascinated for a while. People said that sword techniques should be marvelous and full of subtlety, which could subdue the enemy in an invisible natural way. However, none of them had ever seen such fabulous swordsmanship before. There was not a trace of murderous aura, only endless water-like tenderness.
In the audience, many girls looked at the man wielding the sword in the breeze, and they were absolutely fascinated. “How can there be such tender swordsmanship in this world?”
It was the Romance, a swordsmanship set created together by Xiao Chen and Qianyu Nishang. The swordsmanship of the Romance did not have any murderous aura, nor would it take people’s lives. They often practiced it together.
“Brother Yichen, have you seen this move clearly? I thought of it first.”
“You cheeky little nipper, I launched this sword strike first. How could you bully your Junior Sister like that?”
At this time, the look of Xiao Chen’s Junior Sister appeared again in his mind. It was Qianyu Nishang, who would only show her charming and lovable side in front of him!
Right now, the killing intent in his heart increased sharply. All at once, the unholy aura in his glabella flickered. Meanwhile, the white radiance of the Autumn Water Sword in his hand instantly became much brighter. Then, he suddenly thrust the sword into the sky, and it instantly penetrated through the layers of cloud there.
“Ah—”
As he roared like mad, the virtual images around him of the wind, flowers, snowflakes, and moons brought by the Romance were dispersed in a flash. Right after that, waving his sword wildly, Xiao Chen made more complex moves. In no time, the Sword Qi was surging on the Floating Platform. Then the tenderness there was all gone. Each sword move was full of murderous aura. Moreover, numerous streams of Sword Qi broke the huge spirit energy formation made together by a dozen Elders before and went straight to the square below.
Countless disciples were frightened out of their wits. All they could hear were the never-ending sounds of rumble. The Sword Qi directly cut the five or six magnificent palaces into flying ash. These more than 10 Elders who were responsible for the huge spirit energy formation suddenly became panic-stricken.
“What happened?”
