Chapter 309: Lightning Fusion

“Xuezang isn’t just a disciple of the Tenth Hall. I heard he obtained the inheritance from the Nether Peak which is why people call him the Devil Apprentice.”

“All of his swords have a great background; they were left behind by ancient lineages. For some reason, they all flew to the sword pond inside the Nether Peak, so Xuezang obtained all of them.”

“He killed his father to refine the swords, so all of them are stained with his father’s blood.”

This battle had exceeded everyone’s imaginations and left them in shock. Even the Heretical Lords were astonished. They weren’t this powerful back at grand achievement God Base.

Everyone was discussing without holding anything back and a certain secret was revealed.

“I heard Xuezang is the young noble from the Nalan Clan. Unfortunately, his mother was from the lower class and gave birth to him after being raped by his father, so his status was wretched in the clan as well. Even the servants bullied him by not giving food to the two of them.

“One winter, the situation was particularly severe and the two were freezing and starving. The people outside of their room all assumed that they starved to death. Suddenly, Xuezang came out with blood dripping from his mouth. He killed all the servants outside without leaving a single one alive before leaving the clan and disappearing into the biting wind and snow.

“Later on, someone walked into the room and was horrified by the scene inside. They found someone boiled in a pot — his mother. He survived by eating his own mother.

“Five years later, he came down the Nether Peak with his nine swords and murdered his father. After offering his father’s blood to the swords, he headed west. After another three years later and ninety thousand miles of killing, leaving nothing in his path, he finally joined the Tenth Hall of the Senluo Temple.

“He once fought against the Tenth Lord after joining the temple. Xuezang had only just reached grand achievement God Base while the lord was already at first level Heaven’s Mandate. However, the moment he used his nine swords, even the Tenth Lord couldn’t do anything to him.”

This was a frightening youth. Many who had heard of his experience felt their scalp tingle. His glare alone made them tremble in fear, let alone thinking about fighting him. It was no wonder a top prodigy like Lu Chengfeng didn’t want to fight him. There was too much of a psychological burden to go against someone like Xuezang.

“After fighting against the Tenth Lord, his swords rarely left their sheaths. After all, they must taste blood once they’re unleashed.”

“I thought that if this commander could stop three swords, it would already be amazing. I can’t believe he can stop five at the same time.”

Those who knew a bit about Xuezang couldn’t stay calm at this moment. Meanwhile, the prodigies from the pagoda were quite astounded. They calculated how many swords of his they could stop, but the answer left them pale with shaking heads.

“Orchard Sword!” The sixth one came out.

This old sword was as thin as a fish intestine with a needle-like body at two meters long. There was a white halo surrounding its blade like bright moonlight on the surface of the ocean.

Its hymn was sharp and could be heard from 300 miles away.

“Boom!” Its appearance completely suppressed this Thousand-man Commander!

This sword was indeed unstoppable. It stabbed through the armor and pricked the skin right outside of Feng Feiyun’s dantian, forcing out a drop of blood. Feng Feiyun already had a force of eight qilins in his palm and pushed the sword away, but there was still a shallow wound on his stomach.

If he was a split second late, it wouldn’t have just been a shallow wound, he would have been cut in half. A drop of golden blood dripped down with a red shimmer.

Feng Feiyun was quite surprised at how amazing this sword technique was! He channeled his phoenix physique and his blood flowed twice as fast. An absurd amount of spirit energy crazily poured into his body.

“With the sixth sword out, Feng Daniu will die within thirty moves. Oh? Wait a minute, what’s going on?” A few powerful cultivators present felt an unusual atmosphere and that the worldly energy here had become chaotic like a storm, and its eye was Feng Daniu!

This was a strange transformation; it was as if the world’s original source of energy was being moved. It was akin to a cocoon trembling on top of a branch. Very soon, this cocoon will break open and a butterfly will emerge.

Originally, Princess Luofu was ready to take action to protect Feng Daniu’s life even if it meant a loss; she didn’t want this top genius to die to Xuezang. However, even though she reached out with her jade-like palm, she pulled it back after sensing this unusual aura.

Was this a breakthrough?

Many top geniuses could tap into their potential in moments of life and death to reach the next realm. Many people here thought of this!

“This Feng Daniu isn’t simple at all. Not only is he able to force six swords out, he can also stimulate his own potential to ascend.”

“If he can take this next step, perhaps he can force Xuezang to use the seventh sword.”
