Divine Brilliance

Chapter 586: Only Such

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

When that slap shot out, Xiao Xiangzi frowned unhappily but he didn’t stop him.

He had already wanted to kill that woman anyways. In the end, whoever she died to was something he didn’t bother about.

Ruoshui’s eyes were filled with the glow of despair, she was really calm.

Thinking that she was probably dead, only she had failed her promise to the ex-Ruler.

Who knows whether or not the young Ruler will feel sad because of her death? He would scold her for being dumb?

Just as she thought that way, a sword shadow struck over from the side. It stirred up huge amounts of spiritual energy midway.

Where the sword wind passed, it caused that intense fist shadow to be broken. Millions of spiritual explosion burst out, causing the remaining energy to be sliced apart.

None of it hit Ruoshui.

Is it Young Master?

Joy appeared in her gaze, however, moments later she felt that it wasn’t.

She had seen the Spiritual Explosion Sword before. Turning around it was Yuan Wushang whose face was ashen white, smiling as he walked over.

“Oh! What a coincidence, I wasn’t careful and saw people doing bad things. Who knew that there would be a day when I Yuan Wushang does good deeds..”

Wuxuan’s brows rose and looked over, breaking into laughter, “Are you going to protect her? Do you have a relationship or you finally have a brain and know about the benefits of a woman and am interested in her?”

“Bullshit, my life is given to the sword. Things like women are too much of a bother! Even if I want a partner, I won’t search for such a reckless one...”

Yuan Wushang shook his head in disdain, “I have no relationship. I am just afraid of her master!”

He looked right at Wuxuan, “If I do nothing and she dies to you then that person gets pissed. All of us, none of us, will live under his sword! No one will walk out of Yin Dragon canyon!”

“That person? You are talking about Zong Shou?”

Wuxuan broke out into laughter, filled with disdain, “So the so called sword maniac is only just like this. That Zong Shou is strong but that is only outside of the canyon. The vengeful energy and Yin power are here, and with no Blood Cloud Cavalry. How strong can an initial Grade-Nine cultivator be? His reputation is just from bragging!”

His hands rose as he cupped his fists, “In front of me, even if the Sword God reincarnated, he would have to bow down and call me Ruler!”

“Bragging?”

Yuan Wushang broke out into laughter, Zong Shou’s reputation rose from bragging. Then he was naturally not worth his reputation...

In the eyes of this cultivator, people like them who focused on the word and only having some achievements on this path couldn’t be compared to those in the Vast Habitat. Those people long ago could do spirit and martial arts merger.

Although there was the battle of Mysterious Cloud Mountain, in the eyes of many it should be because the Blood Cloud Cavalry was too strong.

The death of Shenxiao was because the World Protectors punished him.

How would they know that Zong Shou had probably merged spirit and martial arts when he was Grade-Four or even before?

In this world no one could do that, he was unique! Yuan Wushang couldn’t, Feng Taiji couldn’t, all the more, Xiao Xiangzi couldn’t.

As for Wuxuan, he was so far away, who is he? Let the Sword God bow? To think he dared to say those words.

He decided not to bother about that fellow, directly looking at Xiao Xiangzi, “So what does cultivator Xiao say?”

Someone from the Demon Path was most probably burnt in the head by those Demon Path cultivation methods.

Even if occasionally one wasn’t influenced, they would be weird and tough to deal with.

Xiao Xiangzi should be more calm and rational than Wuxuan.

He also felt frustrated. If not for his injuries, why would he have to discuss with them and look at their face?

If he wasn’t happy, he would just slice over with the sword!

Xiao Xiangzi was expressionless, his hands by his side. His tone was also really flat with no fluctuation, “I have to get this pill! No matter whose maid she is, even if she is the Great Shang princess, I still have to get it...”

Although Gantian Mountain was strong, especially near its capital, someone like him naturally had his way of escaping once he got out of the canyon.

No matter how crazy Zong Shou was, would he dare to go up against the Vast Habitat?

The Common People Path was able to destroy the Blood Cloud Cavalry. With their over ten sects of Taoists, couldn’t they wipe out those four thousand cavalries?

That bastard, who cares if he killed her...

Yuan Wushang frowned and looked towards Ruoshui, blinking to send his intentions.

He thought to himself that it wasn’t much of if this thing was gone. To keep Ruoshui’s life was most important. Once Zong Shou rushes over, could these two even escape?

With that fellow’s strength, this Wuxuan and Xiao Xiangzi was destined to be unlucky.

However Ruoshui shook her head, her gaze dimmed as she held the Extreme Purple Pill tighter.

Yuan Wushang was stunned and then he wanted to scold her. At such a time, taking one step back could solve the situation. Why were you a dumb woman, trying to be stubborn?

He also felt respect for her. If it was him, he wouldn’t lower his head either!

However, it placed him in a bad spot.

When Wuxuan saw that, he burst out into laughter, “You are asking to die! Don’t blame me!”

He suddenly punched out, the energy gathered like that of a giant hammer, suddenly smashing down!

However the direction of the fist, rather than killing Ruoshui, it was towards Yuan Wushang.

The fist wind seemed to hold a world! Ghosts wailing and demons shrieking sharply!

Yuan Wushang smiled, thinking to himself: was that his fists’ intent?

Scoffing, a sword light rose. In a breath, numerous sword rains and storms spread out in front of him.

Layer by layer it weakened the fist attack, breaking apart that energy.

However in the last instance when he was about to break the fist, the true qi in his body was empty.

With a loud explosion, the wound on his body exploded out, a blood mist shooting out. He was forced back swiftly.

Just as he was about to hit the wall, he frowned and sensed that Ruoshui was on the verge of death.

If he backed off more than the maidservant of Zong Shou’s would probably die.

He could only forcefully resist the residual wind. The left half of his body, the bit that grew back in this month was smashed!

“What sword maniac? What head of the Three Pinnacle Swords? You are just so so! How pitifully weak!”

Wuxuan laughed, his tone filled with cold mocking intent.

When Yuan Wushang heard that he felt furious, in his heart he was helplessly laughing.

When it went onto level land, this was the case of a tiger being bullied by a dog.

If it’s not for him being so badly injured, to be unable to use even fifty percent of his internal energy and unable to merge spirit and martial arts, why would he be in such a bad state?

This Wuxuan was just a slightly annoying fish.

Who knew that he could bully him today!

Zong Shou, Zong Shou. If your maid dies, will you regret hurting me so badly?

He also felt weird, didn’t he deeply hate Zong Shou? However, he was going to die for his woman. This was a messy death, how chaotic...

After Wuxuan said that, he turned around and asked curiously, “Feng Taiji! Your so called Six Pinnacle Swords only have such standard? Don’t you feel humiliated to be along with them? What an insult to your sword sect...”

When he said those words, a bunch of people walked out of the mist. The one at the head was Feng Taiji. Ruotao was also amongst them, he just frowned deeply.

They walked three hundred feet out before he stopped and slightly shook his head, “Those bores cultivators gave me the name of Pinnacle Sword. I have nothing to do with it. Don’t drag your matters into my sword sect!”

Wuxuan broke out into a burst of laughter and grabbed out towards Yuan Wushang. Then a sword shadow shone behind him, one splitting into two, two into four until it turned into hundreds, threatening his back.

Wuxuan turned around, only to see that it was Spiritual Sword Ruotao. He broke out into a smile.

“So your sword sect wants to interfere in this matter?”

A dark color flashed in Feng Taiji’s eyes. He coldly looked towards Ruohai, like he wasn’t happy and was also warning him to stop.

The few Grade-Nine cultivators behind were also extremely unhappy, an annoyed look appeared on their faces.

“Junior Brother, Gantian Mountain Zong Shou has a good relationship with Leidong and Suchen. I heard they became sworn brothers. This woman is related to Zong Shou. Since you saw it, we have to save her...”

When those words were said out, those Grade-Nine cultivators weren’t tempted at all, their expression became even colder. Ruotao’s voice paused and he suddenly thought about something.

Speaking of which, there were people within the sect grumbling that Leidong and Wujue Villa had been getting too close with Gantian Mountain.

Before Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect was wiped out, many sword sects were worried they were too close to Gantian Mountain, and would be dragged into the Donglin battle.

Even after, there were still many who were unhappy. They weren’t willing to admit their mistakes and became even worse, thinking that Gantian Mountain wouldn’t last for long and wasn’t far from collapsing...

Feng Taiji was one of the choices of God Emperor and probably didn’t care much about this matter...

If his heart was narrow, he might even see that Zong Shou as an enemy, a strong enemy...

Sigh, he only thought that since the woman was related to Leidong, they definitely had to do something. He didn’t think about that crucial point.

After he said those words, it would only make those following Grade-Nine elders oppose.

He sighed, he had focused on the sword path and was never sensitive about such matters. Heart of people and power, he was far from his junior Brother Feng...

With the spirit and martial arts merging and his heart was also perfect, no wonder the sword sect elders would give up on him and choose Junior Brother Feng to succeed the sect.

Just as he thought about that, a lighter voice rang out.

“This time when we came to Yin Dragon canyon, Head of Sword Palace and the elders personally instructed that Junior Brother Feng will be the Head. Is Senior Brother Ruotao going to disobey orders and act on your own?”

His eyes turned sharp, turning around and looking at where that voice came from. It was a twenty-odd years old teen beside Feng Taiji.

Chapter 587: Time Sword

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

His eyes became sharp, as he turned around to look at where the voice came from. It was that twenty-something-year-old teen beside Feng Taiji. He was instantly filled with rage.

“Yanrui! How dare you speak to me like that!”

Yanrui was startled, following which he laughed coldly, “Although you are a senior brother and your sword technique is stronger than mine, reasoning wins, am I not correct? For an outside slave you are going to flip against your Junior Brother?”

“Enough!”

Feng Taiji suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted their conversation. Although he was unhappy, he had no intentions of scolding him. Expressionlessly looking at Ruotao, “I only know that this Yuan Wushang has too many enemies, having killed numerous people and is an admittedly evil person. Gantian Mountain and our sword sect have no relationship with him. If senior brother wants to save him then I admit that I am young and lack strength, unable to control you and I will just watch from the side...”

Ruotao was startled and he felt bitter, “What a good young man with great strength to control!”

This was obviously him saying that he was arrogant and couldn’t be tamed! If he dared to attack, the Thousand Sword Vast Habitat elders would think that he wouldn’t amount to much.

At that moment he really envied Leidong. Although he was from a branch, he did whatever he wanted unlike him who was restricted at every turn.

He held the sword in his hands, however, he felt many threads locking him down. Formless and shapeless, restricting his heart such that he was unable to slash out.

Speaking of which, it began a few years ago, when Feng Taiji lost to him when he entered. The sect told him not to attack junior Brother Feng and even if they sparred he wasn’t allowed to win.

Some matters that he handled were also transferred over. He also needed to carefully follow rules, some small matters the elder of the punishment hall would handle fairly. He couldn’t leave the Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat easily and unlike before when he was really free. He also caused his several close senior brothers and junior brothers to be punished...

He had been too arrogant in the past. The elders probably tolerated him for a very long time.

These methods were trying to get him to remember his place; to grind his horns and smack his confidence?

There was already an even better replacement for the future sword sect leader. In the eyes of those elders, Feng Junior Brother was definitely going to step into Saint Realm. Even if he wasn’t as strong as him now, one day he would exceed him. If he could willingly support him, that would be for the best...

He was hesitating whether or not to slash out, to break everything without a care and not be restricted anymore. But when the gaze of the few elders became more and more unhappy, he sighed and sheathed his sword. Many thoughts rushed into his heart like a wave as he stood rooted, startled and not saying a word.

He was an orphan taken in by the sect, growing up in the Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat. He was unable to slice apart this part of him.

When Wuxuan saw that, he instantly laughed, his brows widening.

“Brother Feng is there a need to? Actually I wanted to try what kind of strength this last place of the Six Pinnacle Swords Ruotao actually had. Was he like this Yuan Wushang, his skill not in keeping with his fame? You are so uninteresting!”

When Ruotao heard this, his expression didn’t change and he kept silent. Only his gaze was cold and sad. Although he stood amongst the sword sect people, he felt that there was a deep line between him and the others.

Only the moment Wuxuan said this, a sigh broke out.

“I can’t watch on anymore!”

The voice was really young and righteous. When he said that, a white robbed teen stepped out of the mist.

He first looked at Ruotao with a pitiful expression. Then, he looked at Ruoshui with some thoughts in his mind.

“Brother Wu! Even if this Yuan Wushang dies, it has nothing to do with me. Only this maidservant can’t die!”

“Oh?”

Wuxuan’s brows frowned as he looked back at Li Wuhui.

Why was another person standing up for that bitch? Didn’t this knife lord Li Wuhui fight Zong Shou on Mysterious Cloud Mountain. It was said that he was injured and when the signs of defeat appeared, he fled.

In such a situation, even if he didn’t hate Zong Shou, he didn’t need to help his little maidservant become enemies with him.

Gantian Mountain Monster king also didn’t seem like the type of person with many friends and relationships.

“I recognize that woman, she is called Ruoshui! She should be his senior sister. Since Monster King is willing to wipe out Mysterious Cloud Mountain for Xuanyuan Yiren, he might not mind killing us all for this woman. I don’t have the ability to find him! Which is why I will help him protect her a little...”

Whilst he said this, he stood in front of Yuan Wushang and Ruoshui. Then, he pulled out a long knife and held it by his side.

“And the two of you better stop now before things get out of hand! Also, stop rambling on about the Six Pinnacle Swords being fake and not worth their name. Apart from Feng Taiji not deserving it, they aren’t people you can offend!”

Yanrui burst out into a laugh, “Sitting in a well and looking at the sky and saying Junior Brother Feng doesn’t deserve it. What a joke! How stupid!”

Li Wuhui looked coldly at Yanrui, but he didn’t speak. He waved his knife and the space in front of him seemed like someone slashed it open, giving off a really weird illusion.

Firstly, the long knife was held on the opposite side, but now it was pointing ahead. However, these two time periods were like they didn’t even exist, Li Wuhui also didn’t even move a single bit.

As for whether his words were true or not, they could test his sword out for themselves.

The pupils of Wuxuan restricted, “This is time knife intent! You actually cultivated it...”

The strength of Li Wuhui far exceeded what he expected.

He didn’t think too much and was instead really tempted to try. That feeling of being provoked and looked down upon made him feel really annoyed.

“Great! You all talk about how strong Zong Shou is. Today I will definitely kill that woman! Let’s see what she can do to me? That Ruotao is a coward and can’t fight. If your knife ruler is as famous as them, you seem like you have some skill and defeating you will be the same. I want to see how skilled you are in the time knife intent! Whether I really can’t offend this six pinnacle sword. Xiao Xiangzi, this matter was started because of you. What do you say...”

Before his words weren’t even completed, Yuan Wushang’s eyes were filled with a self-mocking intent. His current situation was really bad; anyone could step on him.

If he offended Zong Shou the outcome would be far different. He was guessing what would happen to Wuxuan later on.

Even Li Wuhuu smiled. He felt really amused listening to the words of Wuxuan.

Why did he have a feeling that he was like a mantis in a well that didn’t know how big the sky was, waving its little knife arms and looking down at the eagle soaring in the sky?

Their expressions made Wuxuan turn even colder. Xiao Xiangzi’s eyes turned serious, thinking to himself why both Li Wuhui and Yuan Wushang behaved like that.

Were they friends with Zong Shou or did they really fear him?

Since he could cultivate the time knife intent, then Li Wuhui’s strength really wasn’t weak.

Even if he didn’t merge spirit and martial arts he was an incredible person.

Why was he willing to offend both of them but not offend Zong Shou who still hadn’t arrived?

It seemed like it was because of their cultivating and their unestablished fame in the Cloud World.

He truly felt unhappy. That Extreme Purple Pill was also something he had to get!

However, he didn’t act rashly, turning around and asked the 60-year-old Taoist behind him, “Senior master Wuji what are your views?”

“Do it if you want!”

Wuji smiled, “You are the future head of Daoling Vast Habitat. In this world there isn’t anything you can’t do and no one you can’t offend. If you want to do it why do you need to ask me? One small Gantian Mountain, one Zong Shou, our Vast Habitat doesn’t regard them. Speaking of which, senior brother Wuji always feels heartache that you are too gentle and aren’t domineering enough as a sect leader...”

Xiao Xiangzi nodded his head in comprehension, then smiled, “My Dao heart isn’t at peace and my personality is indeed gentler and weaker. This pill is something our Vast Habitat has to get so why hesitate? If they don’t give it to us, we can kill them!”

Not replying to Wuxuan, he waved his sleeves. Numerous lights shone and a sky full of stars appeared behind him like a really starry night in the Cloud World.

He pointed ahead and instantly dozens of the lights broke out from the night sky and shot at the three of them.

Li Wuhui stopped talking. His body didn’t even move but dozens of knife lights flashed over, slashing these star lights.

His eyelids suddenly jumped as he was shocked. The starlight looked ethereal and without power at all.

However, each one of them was like a 100,000-foot mountain, filled with millions of kilograms of power.

This was also the difference between people who could merge spirit and martial arts from them. They used martial arts as the main and sole power to merge their martial path.

This Xiao Xiangzi used soul power as the main power to merge internal energy and true qi into his spells.

Pretty much each star caused him to retreat by half a step and he left a mark beneath his feet!

Coincidentally, when he adapted to the tempo, Wuxuan was suddenly attacked.

A black hand grabbed at the Extreme Purple Pill in her hands.

Li Wuhui’s brows rose and then he broke out into a laugh, his gaze filled with cold intent.

Isn’t it just spirit and martial arts merging? Don’t look down on people!

You are not the only two people with talents!

In this world, only Zong Shou, Jueyu and Yuan Wushang were good enough to be his opponents.

Who are you Wuxuan?

A knife swiftly slashed, directly breaking the time barrier. This was the time sword...
