335 Grudges Aside, Let Me Send My Brother Off! (1/2)

It seemed that Venerable Lord Sword had gone stark raving mad.

The sudden rush of grief and fury blinded him.

The sword that soared high in the sky faltered and begun to weave about drunkenly; hundreds of thousands of sword light coruscated like the scorching sun in each and every available direction.

It was not only Venerable Lord Sword’s sword that had erupted into explosive fury; the man’s body, hair, neck, eyes, shoulders, ears, chest, arms, legs… each and every part of his body emanated a torrent of deadly sword energy!

They poured out in an unstoppable torrent as he unleashed his fury towards the gate of the School of Spring and Autumn.

The disciples who were equipped with weapons felt that they lost their sense of control over their own swords. Their swords flew up into the sky, in defiance of their owner's intentions.

The energy broke apart into millions of shards of sword light.

The gate of School of Spring and Autumn settled into an eerie silence.

Venerable Lord Sword continued to scream into the sky; his dead eyes stared at the silhouettes that came flying in through the air while a savage smile hung on his face.

”You are all too late.”

The disciples who formed the sword formation in front of Venerable Lord Sword, the disciples who were only spectators behind, and the second generation disciples who stood further back, all showed a hopeless sense of fear on their faces as they stood frozen like statues, waiting for the arrival of death.

The disbelief was vibrant in their eyes, but no one could move a muscle.

Just as the words left Venerable Lord Sword’s lips, gouts of blood poured out from these people. The disciples who were standing exploded simultaneously, reduced into pieces of flesh and blood that scattered themselves all over the place.

The only one left breathing was Xiao Tengkong of Spring and Autumn, but he was also seriously injured. He had used his entire cultivation base to defend against the surge of sword energy and had been blown several hundred feet back. There were gurgling noises in his throat as his eyes bore right into Venerable Lord Sword, the man struggling to say, ”You… you’ve achieved… Sword… Supremacy….”

Before he could finish his words, his body fell stiffly before spasming on the ground. It crackled and fell into pieces, signaling the man’s death.

Venerable Lord Sword did not answer the last words of Xiao Tengkong; his eyes were watching the silhouettes that were hurriedly making their landing. Technically, he was only watching the two men in the lead; he couldn't care less about the rest of the group.

His eyes were filled with crazed provocation.

”Venerable Lord Sword!” Both elders who flew over hollered, ”You shall not be pardoned for such merciless killings! Hand over your life!”

In the light of those words, Venerable Lord Sword gave a sharp cry before soaring into the sky and grabbing the hovering sword; the sword light grew more intense as he turned about and charged his enemy.

”There is nothing but life and death in the martial world. Die!”

Venerable Lord Sword guffawed, welcoming the incoming duo’s attack with a sword held in his hand.

Boom!

The clash of the three titans saw them flying apart in three different directions. The two elders were obviously more inferior; even with their combined efforts, they still spat blood while retreating in steps. Disbelief colored their eyes.

Venerable Lord Sword was relentless. With a long-drawn growl, he pressed on the attack, waving his sword with massive recoil. The sword light was blinding as it spilled like a liquid flame.

Within a thousand feet of the School of Spring and Autumn’s gate, dust and smoke rose up into the air while the stones and earth cracked like fist-sized hailstones had fallen on them. Countless see-through holes appeared on the buildings beyond the perimeter.

Both elders were forced onto the ground by Venerable Lord Sword’s sword light and were in a passive position. Despite being shocked, they still kept their calm and guarded their turf in addition to defending themselves, waiting for Venerable Lord Sword’s subsequent attack.

They did not expect the howl to grow distant. Venerable Lord Sword’s voice was still as piercing as a sword that had stabbed through heaven, but he was fading away from the collision before completely disappearing as a beam of sword light!

”He left? Just like that?!”

Recovering from the initial shock, both elders charged out of the ruins but they could no longer see Venerable Lord Sword.

A distant voice could be heard from afar, ”Brother! Your older brother has come to send you off!”

Both the elderly were puzzled by the words that seemed somewhat out of place.

Why have you come? You arrived at our gates with condemnation and massacred our people. Why did you leave just like that?

There was still a ball of golden light gleaming on the ground.

It had been accidentally left by Venerable Lord Sword when he was attacked by the sword formation in his daze. It was also the contents of this golden light that had caused Venerable Lord Sword to sink into an unexpectedly stoic trance.

One of the elders picked it up. He could still feel the strong sense of the divine emanating from the light.

”It is a message from the Four Seasons Tower...” Both the elders exchanged looks of shock.

”It was sent personally by Mr. Nian. The contents must be of import.”

Various messaging methods could be differentiated by their external glow. If it belonged to the Four Seasons Hall, the glow would be one of four colors – green, red, yellow, and white. Since it was gold right now, it naturally belonged to the highest authority of the Four Seasons Tower – Mr. Nian.

Both elders’ expression turned grim as they delved in with their deific consciousness and mystical Qi at the same time.

The golden light flickered. ”Saber has fallen, Snow is injured. Return at once!”
