Chapter 1307: The Ultimate Sword
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Xi Qishu saw the blood on the Longevity Sword, his eyelids twitched. He said in a deep voice, “So you brought help…”
Xi Qishu clapped his hands. The sound reverberated loudly in the silent night. He realized now that the blood on the sword belonged to the reinforcements he had called for earlier. His eyes surged with killing intent as he asked, “You killed them?”
“If it weren’t for these circumstances, I wouldn’t even look at them. They should feel honored to die under my sword,” Yu Shangrong said, as calm as ever.
Xi Qishu glanced at Mingshi Yin who was lying on the ground before he said, “You overestimate yourself.”
Then, Xi Qishu stomped his feet and flew out like an arrow. He wielded his saber with both hands, and an incredibly large energy saber shot out horizontally. His entire body shone with a green light.
Yu Shangrong shook his head slightly. “How stubborn…”
Just as Xi Qishu arrived in front of Yu Shangrong, he brandished his sword. He seemed to turn incorporeal as he moved.
Xi Qishu attacked one, two, three, four times, but his attacks passed through Yu Shangrong. He did not cause any damage at all. He was puzzled. He quickly spun around and brandished his saber again, unleashing 10,000 energy sabers.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yu Shangrong accurately deflected the energy sabers. He thrust, stab, lift, strike, and block, perfectly displaying the basic sword movements. He was so fast that it looked as though they were multiple people brandishing swords at the same time.
The storm-like attacks shocked Xi Qishu. ‘His sword technique isn’t inferior to Bai Yi!’
Yu Shangrong pressed Xi Qishu back. The fierce sword technique left him with no breathing room. He felt as though Yu Shangrong had blocked off all his paths of retreat.
Meanwhile, Yu Shangrong’s expression was as usual. He did not seem to be struggling at all.
Xi Qishu did not give up. He refused to believe he would be bested by the person in front of him. He activated his protective energy, and when he could, he would use his energy sabers to block the attacks as well.
If Yu Shangrong’s attack was like the violent wind earlier, it was now like a tsunami.
Xi Qishu’s technique was crude to begin with. How could he deal with such an exquisite and extreme sword path? When he could no longer hold on, he roared, “Enough!”
Boom!
A ring of light appeared around Xi Qishu immediately.
Yu Shangrong leaped into the air and flipped a few times before he rushed out again.
Xi Qishu felt chills running up his spine. What kind of opponent was this? Was his fighting style so monstrous?
“You want to exhaust my vitality energy?” Xi Qishu joined his palms together. The saber in his hand flew out and spun around him.
Everything was meaningless in the face of absolute power. Xi Qishu wanted to end this quickly so he manifested his avatar again. This time, he cast his first Birth Trial ability.
The green avatar expanded swiftly. At the same time, the green lotus spun and increased in size as well.
The lotus was a cultivator’s strongest defense. If used properly, its offensive power would be just as strong.
When the green lotus expanded until it was about to reach Yu Shangrong, he leaped up onto Xi Qishu’s lotus seat.
Upon seeing this, Xi Qishu laughed loudly. “I was waiting for you to do this.”
This method had been tried and tested. Every time Xi Qishu used his first Birth Trial ability, his opponent would instinctively jump onto his lotus seat. Now that Yu Shangrong had done as he had expected, he tossed his crimson saber out.
As the crimson saber spun around the lotus, Yu Shangrong noticed that 12 Birth Charts were lighting up successively. He was slightly surprised. It seemed like not only astrolabes could release the Birth Chart power, but the lotus seat was also capable of releasing the Birth Chart power. However, after thinking about it, he thought this was as it should be. The Birth Charts on the astrolabes and the Birth Palaces were the same, after all.
Just as Yu Shangrong expected, pillars of light shot up to the sky from the lotus seat. He tossed his sword out and dodged the pillars of light, weaving in and out of the gaps between the pillars. However, unlike Mingshi Yin, he was not just dodging.
The Longevity Sword was like a swimming dragon as it shuttled between the pillars of light before it arrived in front of Xi Qishu.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Longevity Sword kept attacking Xi Qishu.
Xi Qishu’s movement technique was slightly inferior. After taking a few consecutive strikes, he had no choice but to fly backward. He unleashed his grand technique and flashed 1,000 meters away, bringing his lotus with him.
The pillars of light continued shooting up into the sky after losing their target.
Yu Shangrong hovered in the air and joined his palms together, controlling the Longevity Sword from an incredibly long distance.
…
The Longevity Sword followed closely behind Xi Qishu.
Upon seeing this, Xi Qishu’s expression turned grim. “Sword control technique?”
Although Bai Yi’s technique was brilliant, it still fell short of the person in front of him.
Xi Qishu was left with no choice but to fight. He drew his saber and slashed wildly.
The Longevity Sword was so fast that it seemed like it was everywhere at the same time.
When Xi Qishu was about to lose ground again, he suddenly pricked his finger and drew blood. Then, he smeared it on his saber. The saber glowed even redder than before as an incredibly huge energy saber shot out.
…
Yu Shangrong withdrew the Longevity Sword, avoiding the energy saber.
Upon seeing this, Xi Qishu said, “Too late.”
At some point, Xi Qishu had appeared beneath Yu Shangrong’s feet. At the same time, his green avatar, which was over 1,000 feet tall, rose from the ground. Following that, he flew into the avatar and hovered near its heart. He wielded the saber with both hands and flew out along with his avatar that was pushing both its hands out.
Yu Shangrong was slightly surprised. “You’re stronger than I thought.”
Yu Shangrong held the Longevity Sword in front of him as the sword released countless energy swords that formed a wall in front of him.
Bang!
The energy swords and energy sabers collided and struggled against each other with a might that seemed capable of leveling mountains and overturning the rivers.
Both of them had life hearts that were related to flying, defenses, and strength so for a time it was difficult to tell who was stronger.
At this moment, Xi Qishu smiled coldly as he stared at Yu Shangrong. He laughed as he said, “It’s ready. It’s time to send you to hell!”
Xi Yishu’s maniacal laughter rang thunderously, sending chills up people’s spines.
The sword and saber struggled against each other as the golden energy and the green energy clashed.
Through the energies, Yu Shangrong saw Xi Qishu’s eyes turn abnormally red as blood oozed out of his arms, and his hair grew longer.
Creak!
The Longevity Sword began to bend.
Yu Shangrong’s sword was his life; he was the sword, and the sword was him. Hence, he hurriedly withdrew the Longevity Sword and allowed the energy sabers to land on him.
At this time, a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar suddenly appeared above Xi Qishu. It wielded a sword with both hands and brought it down with all its might.
Bang!
An overwhelming force bore down on Xi Qishu and his green avatar.
At the same time, the energy sabers that were shooting at Yu Shangrong dropped down and slashed at his waist. His belt was cut into two, causing his green robes to flutter noisily in the wind.
Xi Qishu spun around and glared at the golden avatar. “A Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar?”
The Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar held a golden leaf in its hands and stabbed it downward like a sword.
Bang!
The shockwave rippled out in the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The golden avatar continued stabbing down without stopping.
Xi Qishu gritted his teeth. His eyes glowed red as he cried out, “Break!”
Xi Qishu, along with his avatar, spun 180 degrees before he released a thousand-foot-long energy saber into the sky.
Yu Shangrong flashed and flew into his avatar. He did not dodge Xi Qishu’s attack. Instead, he joined his palms together.
Boom!
Yu Shangrong caught the huge energy saber between his palms.
However, Xi Qishu laughed. “Let’s see how you’ll dodge this!”
The energy saber grew again. At the same time, the fresh blood oozing from Xi Qishu’s arms shot out like spiderwebs, weaving an inescapable net.
“Great Birth Chart?” Yu Shangrong withdrew his avatar.
The inescapable net emitted a strange energy.
At this time, Xi Qishu seemed as though he had lost his mind. He roared, “Strangle him to death!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Yu Shangrong looked around. He could keenly sense the danger from the inescapable net.
“Golden halo!” Yu Shangrong reached out and held the golden halo in his hand.
The golden halo suddenly expanded by 100 times, resisting the net.
“Eleven Leaf Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar?” Xi Qishu was stunned. Then, he laughed maniacally again. “No wonder you’re able to fight me for so long! It’s a pity that you don’t have Birth Charts. You won’t be able to win!”
Xi Qishu seemed to be showing off as he manifested his astrolabe and aimed it at Yu Shangrong who was surrounded by the net.
“Why would the Sword Devil need Birth Charts?” Yu Shangrong said as his avatar appeared in front of him. At the same time, the Longevity Sword flew into the avatar’s hand as an energy saber appeared around it and began to grow until it was 1,000 feet long.
The avatar brought the sword down on Xi Qishu.
Bang!
Xi Qishu was shocked. He could only lift his astrolabe to block the strike.
Following that, the golden Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar vanished, and the Longevity Sword flew back to Yu Shangrong’s hand.
Xi Qishu had learned from his mistake and maintained a distance from Yu Shangrong. He lifted his astrolabe, shooting out a few pillars of light at Yu Shangrong.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The golden halo in Yu Shangrong’s hand grew several sizes again. As it grew, the strange red net strained, looking as though it was going to break soon.
At the same time, Yu Shangrong controlled the Longevity Swords to hover in front of him before launching millions of energy swords to form a wall in front of him to block the pillars of light.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When the last pillar of light vanished, the Longevity Sword flew back into Yu Shangrong’s hand.
However, Xi Qishu was nowhere to be seen at this moment.
Yu Shangrong held the golden halo and flew forward. At this time, cold laughter rang from behind him before he heard one word.
“Farewell.”
