Chapter 314 - Uninvited Guests (2/2)
“The Sword Qi is so strong that it broke through the barrier of the formation!”
Just when the few of them were talking, Xiao Chen thrust his sword forward at random and happened to aim right at Situ Bei, who was at the eastern end of the high platform.
The dozen-of-meters-long Sword Qi with white radiance instantly thrust through the barrier of the huge spirit energy formation and went directly to chop Situ Bei’s head. At this point, the True Energy in Situ Bei shook, and he immediately raised his palm to block it. But even though he was a Nirvana Realm cultivator, the Sword Qi pushed him back a dozen steps, and then he finally managed to stand stably.
Facing the troubling danger, a senior Elder uplifted his Qi and thundered, “Xiao Chen! Stop!” While he was talking, he put his palms on the chair as if he were about to get on the Floating Platform to stop Xiao Chen. However, he feared that the Autumn Water Sword was too powerful for him to handle, so he dared not rush out rashly.
The murderous intent suddenly possessed Xiao Chen. Swiftly, he lifted the sword and dashed over to stab Xiaoyue. He went at her in full fury. While he was dashing forward at tremendous speed, the Floating Platform under his feet began to sink down gradually.
Xiaoyue instantly came to her senses. But before she could react, Xiao Chen had already rushed up to her. However, when the sword tip was about 10 cm away from her glabella, it stopped there.
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes turned a little red, but finally, he calmed down. Holding her breath already, Xiaoyue knew that her life hung by a thin thread just now. In any case, she could not believe that Xiao Chen could realize the Autumn Water Sword’s potential to such a degree.
“Can you tell me who exactly you are?”
“The only thing I can tell you is that this sword has had a deep relationship with me.”
After that, Xiao Chen suddenly went to rub the sword end together with his two fingers, putting all his Mystic Power together. Xiaoyue thought that he was going to destroy the sword so she shouted hastily, “Give the sword back to me!”
However, Xiao Chen was not trying to ruin the sword. He just wanted to erase the names of him and Qianyu Nishang. But they had succeeded in engraving their names only because they used mystic arts along with some wondrous items. That was the reason why they could leave their names on the sword body. However, how could Xiao Chen damage the Autumn Water Sword even a little at his present cultivation? Xiao Chen assumed that those names probably would never be erased.
“I do not want your sword.” Xiao Chen tossed the Autumn Water Sword to her and tapped the ground with his tiptoes. Then, he drifted down from the Floating Platform.
When Xiaoyue took back the Immortal’s Sword of her sect, she finally found a little peace. Quietly, she stared at the two lines of tiny characters at the end of the sword. After checking countless ancient books, she still could not translate what was written on it.
Gradually, the wind rose. With Xiaoyue’s black hair floating and clothes fluttering, she looked like a fairy again. Though she was the only one in the end who stayed on the Floating Platform, it was apparent that Xiao Chen had won the match. Xiao Chen won the Immortal’s Sword Assembly championship.
The cheers from the crowd suddenly rose up to the sky. Stroking their beards while nodding, all the well-known seniors and Elders from each sect spoke highly of him. Only Situ Bei, who was on the high platform, wore a hideous face. The sword strike from Xiao Chen pushed him back a dozen steps, which greatly humiliated him. However, the Autumn Water Sword tempted him.
“Hahahaha…”
At the crowd’s most exciting moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the west side of the sky. The sound came unexpectedly with profound hidden Mystic Power. Thus, the ears of many weak cultivators rang, and they seemed to see spots dancing in front of their eyes. In a flash, the crowd could not hear even a sound. One after another, each one of them raised his head and looked toward the west side of the sky.
But watching the three black spots getting closer and closer as well as becoming larger and larger, they eventually saw them become two elders with white beards and a young man with black hair.
There was a formation placed high up in the air over the whole Jade Terrace Mountain. Since the three people could break the formation and come inside, their cultivation had to be relatively high. A senior Elder on the high platform narrowed his eyes and asked in a clear loud voice, “Who are these friends that pay a visit to Jade Terrace Mountain?”
Taking a careful look at the three people, the crowd found that the young man was nearly two meters high and looked haughty with his both hands crossed before his chest. Next to him, the cyan-robed elder held a peach wood cane. A little gourd was tied to the cane’s end with a red string, which made the elder looked very much like a celestial being.
The other elder with a red robe was strongly built. He appeared bigger and taller than some mature men who practiced martial arts. This elder stood not that close to the other two people, so perhaps, he was not from the same family as the other two.
The three people came from the sky and did not have any Devil Qi. Therefore, they were surely not people of the Devil’s Practice. Besides, today was the day that people from the Orthodox Path gathered together. In this case, people on the spot supposed that no one from the Devils’ sects would dare to come here even if he garnered all his courage. Thus, more or less, they relaxed their vigilance.
A disciple from some sect gathered his Qi and shouted, “Who are you? Do not you know that this is the Daoist League of the Five Continents? How did you dare to break in…?” However, before he could finish his words, the cyan-robed elder shot a ray of white radiance from his peach wood cane, which then sent the disciple flying backward through the air, spitting blood.
“At such a young age, how do you not know that you should show some respect to your elders?”
