Chapter 48: Thousand Shadows of Fluttering Flowers

“Li Lingtian, you have crossed the line,” Shen Tian of Tian Jin Empire’s Divine Sword Sect blurted coldly.
Li Lingtian had taken a dig at them in the presence of twenty-odd Warriors and over a hundred Powerhouses.
While others may not have had a clear look at how Li Lingtian defeated Bei Ao, Shen Tian saw it with his own eyes. For Li Lingtian to cripple a Warrior King with a sword, it stirred a battle intent within him.
The majority of disciples in Divine Sword Sect were proficient in swordsmanship due to the powerful might that was driven by sword cultivation. It could be said that rarely anyone of the same tier was a match to these disciples.
Having seen Li Lingtian demonstrate his sword technique, Shen Tian now wished to experience his technique firsthand. As a Tier Two Warrior King equipped with Divine Sword Sect’s Annihilation Sword, he thought little of Li Lingtian, a mere Warrior Spirit disciple.
“Cross the line?
“Did it occur to you that you’ve crossed the line when you humiliated my Sky Dragon Empire?
“If I have indeed crossed the line and got on your nerves, I can only apologize but let me say this. Yes, I crossed the line, so come bite me,” Li Lingtian replied dully.
The calm look on his face had the Warriors from Sky Dragon Empire hang their heads low in shame. His continued statement left many Warriors thinking that Li Lingtian was backing down and looking for an out. However, it had never occurred to them that he would aggravate the situation.
“Woah.”
The Warriors may be gobsmacked but the girls from Misty Pavilion, including Liu Yiyi, burst into chuckles by this Junior Brother’s humor. Yet in the face of countless masters, Li Lingtian remained collected.
“Fine, fine, very good.”
Shen Tian smirked out of rage. He surged his bodily vigor and at the extend of his arm, a three-foot-long sword emerged. A fierce blade aura immediately hovered over the sword.
As the domineering blade aura soared upwards, the sword emitted an annihilating intent.
“Tyrannical Dragon Sword Technique’s Annihilation Form.”
With rage burning in his eyes, Shen Tian swung his sword, causing a tremble in the air. As a powerful blade glare was sliced down towards Li Lingtian, many masters on-site were ruffled by this luminous light.
A Tier Two Warrior King could barely withstand the terrifying force from a Warrior King’s sword, let alone a Tier Five Warrior Spirit.
Although the incoming blade glare was within a five-yard distance from Li Lingtian, he remained still. This left many others taken aback by his reaction as they assumed that Li Lingtian was scared stiff.
Where was the same person who crippled Bei Ao in a single move? Why was he staring blankly at the blade glare?
“You think you’re worthy of using a sword before me?
“Vast Obscure Extermination, die.”
Following a calm voice, Li Lingtian stretched his arm and unleashed an astonishing repression in an instant. At the same time, the foot-long Purple Green Sword in his hand released a domineering repression.
“An Onyx Equipment!”
“A mediocre Onyx Equipment.”
Countless powerhouses gasped upon detecting the Purple Green Sword’s repression. A Spiritual Equipment was considered quite domineering yet this Sky Cloud Sect’s Tier Five Warrior Spirit disciple brought out an Onyx Equipment.
While various Powerhouses were caught by surprise, Li Lingtian’s Purple Green Sword sliced through the air. The atmosphere turned rather unusual as a Vast Obscure Extermination Qi spread through the air and swiftly headed towards Shen Tian’s blade glare in the form of countless sword shreds.
“Fizz fizz, fizz fizz.”
There were no explosions, only subtle noises as these sword shreds quickly corroded the mighty blade glare to nothingness. These sword shreds then continued its journey to Shen Tian.
“Sword Shield.”
Shen Tian was shocked. His Tyrannical Dragon Sword Technique proved a great force and was a top rate skill in Divine Sword Sect. It had never crossed his mind that his Warrior King state combined with his Onyx Tier skill would be abolished by a Tier Five Warrior Spirit disciple.
It took great force for a blade aura to transform into shreds. Even a Divine Sword Sect’s master could barely achieve such a feat. Since he was well aware of the shredded blade aura’s might, Shen Tian dared not take any chances. So, he drew his sword and soon a sword screen emerged.
“Swish swish, swish swish.”
Amid the collision between the sword shred and sword screen, many Warriors stared blankly at Li Lingtian and Shen Tian. With both of them demonstrating such sword techniques, it became these Warriors’ primary experience in witnessing the impact coming from sword techniques.
“Thousand Shadows of Fluttering Flowers, die!”
Li Lingtian was brewing with killing intent. The Vast Obscure Extermination was incapable of finishing Shen Tian, a Warrior King, and since the boat was already rocked, Shen Tian had to be wiped out in an attempt to nip in the bud.
At a casual swing of the Purple Green Sword in his hand, countless blade auras burst out in a radiant eruption. These hundreds and thousands of fallen leaves-like blade auras were a force to be reckoned with altogether.
“Tyrannical Dragon Sword Technique’s Invincible Form.”
Shen Tian felt as though he had shot himself in the foot. This Warrior Spirit disciple was so strong that his Sword Shield could only be subjected to defense. At the sight of his opponent’s crushing blow, Shen Tian was overwhelmed with terror.
This feeling he had was as though he was faced with a Warrior Ascendant. So, Shen Tian circulated the True Qi from his whole body before he drew his sword to numerous domineering blade aura. Immediately, these blade auras came into blows with Li Lingtian’s Thousand Shadows of Fluttering Flowers.
“Bam.”
The astounding demonic energy’s repression was ripped apart by the explosion. As Li Lingtian’s body swayed, he quickly circulated his Breeze Technique and retreated a few steps until he forced a secured footing.
“Ah.”
“Ptui.”
Following a loud cry, Shen Tian spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was hurled up to the sky before it slammed down on the ground. With that, the colliding blade auras gradually receded.
Dozens of blade auras had penetrated Shen Tian’s attack and pierced through his heart. He was long gone.
The lakeside was pin-drop silent as everyone held their breaths. A Sky Cloud Sect’s Warrior Spirit disciple had slaughtered two Warrior King powerhouses in succession.
“There’s finally some peace and quiet. It’s time all of you put your heads together to think of a way to open Divine Dragon Palace’s gate.”
Li Lingtian’s voice broke the lake’s silence and pulled many Warriors back to reality. In contrast to Li Lingtian’s indifference, they were all quivering in the knees. This young man was a terrifying existence indeed.
“Junior Brother Li.”
“Junior Brother Li.”
Li Lingtian then walked towards the Warriors of Sky Dragon Empire. When he arrived, even Zhou Qingqing, who was a Warrior King, nodded in greeting.
The other Warriors greeted Li Lingtian as well, to which he nodded in a polite response. He then closed his eyes and did not say a word.
“What a powerful attack. A Warrior King was killed in a single move.”
“He’s going to be in trouble for killing Divine Sword Sect’s genius disciple.”
“Sky Cloud Sect will suffer Divine Sword Sect’s crushing blow.”
“Shush, at least no one can defeat him here.”

For a moment, many Warriors whispered in discussions. Although the voices were soft, Li Lingtian heard them all. He smirked inwardly. The fact that he was bold enough to kill a Genius of Divine Sword Sect was evidence that he was not afraid of Divine Sword Sect.
“Let’s begin by figuring a way to break the gate. Otherwise, our True Qi would be exhausted before we get in. Death will be waiting for us then.”
Tian Wuji took a glance at Li Lingtian. He was not going to be hasty by striking Li Lingtian. Although he thought nothing of Li Lingtian, a Tier Five Warrior Spirit, he should refrain from stepping on anyone’s toes with his enemies lurking around.
The commanding tone prompted every Warrior on-site to crack their heads on opening this gate. Only by breaking through this gate could they enter Divine Dragon Palace.
“Make way, let me take a look.”
A young man walked out and strode forward. Many Warriors did not say a word at the appearance of this youth.
This was the Super Genius of Southern Empire’s Nine Alps. Nine Alps was known to all for its powerful Formation teachings, and they were an unrivaled presence of such in the Eastern Spirit Greenland.
There was no one more authoritative than him here.
Han Zhong hid his glee as he cast his gaze on numerous Warriors who were in line and standing aside.
Here, he was only considered below average in terms of cultivation level as a Tier Six Warrior Spirit. Nevertheless, he reigned supreme in the way of Formation..
