Chapter 81: One Sword_l

Translator: 549690339

Dingji Manor was near Dingyuan Manor, and the hooded man stopped there with Lu Xiu.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave, but he had been discovered by a powerful Grandmaster with Spiritual Sense and was locked in by their Sword Intent from afar. Any movement would attract a thunderous strike.

Dressed in black, Lu Xiu looked towards the approaching figure in the sky, inwardly groaning, uncertain if he could return to the Yinyang Sect alive.

The figure approached with incredible speed, traversing hundreds of miles in a single step, and in just a few strides, he came within a few miles of the two men.

It was only then that Lu Xiu could see clearly who the newcomer was. It was the Sect Leader of the Sword Cleansing Pool, which filled him with even more despair.

In Tianxuan Mountain, the Sword Cleansing Pool, the True Sun Sect, and the Hehuan Sect, the Sect Leaders of the Four Sects of Leizhou were all Gurus in the Void Realm. However, even among Grandmasters, there were different levels of strength and the leader of the Sword Cleansing Pool was universally acknowledged as the number one Grandmaster of Leizhou.

This number one Grandmaster included all Grandmasters in Leizhou, such as the Protector General of the Daqian Empire, the Supervisor of Jingye Office, as well as Loose Cultivator Grandmasters.

With a great reputation, Lu Xiu recognized the leader of the Sword Cleansing Pool at first glance and couldn’t help but glance at the hooded man beside him. Could he match the leader of the Sword Cleansing Pool?

The hooded man shook his head, his expression solemn as he stared at the figure a few miles away, feeling somewhat dry-mouthed.

The leader of the Sword Cleansing Pool was dressed in green, with three scabbards on his back carrying four swords. A wine gourd hung at his waist, and his face bore a tipsy look.

He took a large gulp from his wine gourd; the liquor poured down his face and wet the front of his clothes, but he didn’t care, just kept walking steadily towards the hooded man and Lu Xiu.

His pace wasn’t fast; each step covered just over a hundred meters, but with each step he took, the Sword Intent he emitted grew fiercer by a fraction.

Sweat beads formed on the hooded man’s forehead, the pressure from the leader of the Sword Cleansing Pool was immense, and he swallowed before he spoke:

“Lin Xiangru, can you pretend not to see us?”

“The fall of the Daqian Empire is imminent; you can still walk away now, and the Sword Cleansing Pool can be spared.”

As the number one Grandmaster of Leizhou, Lin Xiangru’s martial truth was nearing condensation into reality, transforming into true Sword Intent. Once that happened, he could step into the Myriad Phenomena Realm and become a Great Grandmaster.

Yan Liulong of the Hehuan Sect was considerably less skilled than Lin Xiangru, let alone the hooded man?

If he didn’t compare with Yan Liulong, being just at the Fifth Heaven of the Hollow Void Stage, how could he stand a chance against a Guru at the peak of the Hollow Realm, a sword cultivation Grandmaster unparalleled in attack. The hooded man had no confidence in making it out unscathed.

Unlucky enough to encounter Lin Xiangru, the hooded man internally regretted accepting this task. However, at this moment, he could only brace himself and cite the authority of the Yinyang Sect in hopes that Lin Xiangru would show some consideration.

Lin Xiangru continued to advance, step by step, seemingly oblivious to the hooded man’s words. The accumulating Sword Intent grew more immense and weighty, with a world-shaking aura that was immediately detected by other Masters and immortals who were in pursuit from different directions.

Lin Xiangru sighed internally. He had set out in pursuit only because he was under pressure from Prince Wu’an and had meant to just go through the motions. But as fate would have it, he stumbled upon them.

The demon Lu Xiu, who was on the wanted list, and a Grandmaster from the Yinyang Sect. He wanted to let them escape, but how could he? If he let these two go today, Prince Wu’an would destroy the Sword Cleansing Pool tomorrow.

More beads of sweat appeared on the hooded man’s forehead, and he called out loudly, “Lin Xiangru, do you really want to make an enemy of the Yinyang Sect?”

Seeing that Lin Xiangru was unmoved, the hooded man couldn’t be sure whether Lin Xiangru truly intended to kill him. As a Guru in the Hollow Sect, he was a key combatant within the Yinyang Sect and hadn’t committed any offense against the Da Qian Empire. If he died here, the Yinyang Sect would certainly make a big issue out of it.

“Give me the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella.”

The hooded man took out his own weapon, a Bloody Devil Spear, and a three-tiered Stone Tower, and he then said to Lu Xiu.

Both his Devil Spear and Stone Tower were Earth-Level Top Grade Magical Treasures, one for attack and one for defense, greatly enhancing his combat ability. If he had the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella as well, his power would increase even more.

Lu Xiu hesitated only briefly before handing over his strongest trump card, giving the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella, which was close to an Earth-Level Supreme Magical Artifact, to the hooded man.

In the face of Lin Xiangru, the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella was almost useless in his hands; only the hooded man, a Guru in the Hollow Sect, could utilize its maximum potential.

Without handing it over, certain death awaited; with the exchange, there was a glimmer of hope for survival.

The hooded man swiftly erased the branding within the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella, rapidly refined it, sensed its capability, and a look of joy surfaced on his face.

The power of the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella was stronger than his Devil Spear by a third; he had no idea how Lu Xiu had obtained it, but regardless of whether Lu Xiu lived or not, he was not going to return the umbrella.

Facing the ever-approaching Lin Xiangru, the hooded man didn’t delay further; the Stone Tower flew out, hovering above his head, casting down three layers of light screens.

Then, holding the Bloody Devil Spear in one hand and the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella in the other, he moved to attack Lin Xiangru, not daring to allow him to continue to gather strength.

Lin Xiangru’s steps were steady, indifferent to the various preparations of the demonic Grandmaster, knowing that once he made his move, he would surely slay the demonic Grandmaster.

“Clang- Clang-”

The Divine Sword in the scabbard on his left automatically unsheathed, and in an instant, sword qi skyrocketed, shaking the universe.

The Divine Sword landed in Lin Xiangru’s right hand, which he slowly raised, and at once, all the sword intent and boundless sword qi were infused into this one strike.

“Humm!”

Lin Xiangru swung his sword, and the brutally cold sword light glittered across half of Leizhou. The sword qi and sword intent penetrated “Heavenly Space,” as if to cleave through eternity with a single strike.

“All or nothing!”

The hooded man bellowed, using the strongest spear technique with the Devil Spear in his right hand, like a demonic dragon ending the world, destroying all mountains and rivers in its path; his left hand also activated the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella, the pitch-black umbrella surface unfurled, unleashing the terrifying power of resentful spirits, seeking to obliterate Lin Xiangru’s Divine Spirit.

Boom!

A horrific tremor resounded across half of Leizhou. When everything subsided, Lin Xiangru had already walked up close to the hooded man and Lu Xiu, the Divine Sword in his hand, unbeknownst to when, had returned to its scabbard.

“Puh-”

The hooded man spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes still filled with shock, astonished by Lin Xiangru’s terrifying strength, nearly on par with a Great Grandmaster.

The Bloody Devil Spear was pitched at a distance with three cracks appearing on it; the Soul Extinguishing Umbrella lay on the ground with a hole torn through the fabric.

Merely one sword strike, and he was almost killed; all his attacks were extinguished by a single strike, even the protective Stone Tower had fallen to the ground, now cleaved in two.

His black hooded cloak was torn and tattered, his body was ravaged by sword qi and sword intent, exacerbating his injuries, and he could only barely suppress them. with no strength left to fight.

Lin Xiangru gave the hooded man one glance, recognized the identity of this demonic Grandmaster, and without another word, turned to look at Lu Xiu.

Just as Lu Xiu was about to speak, Lin Xiangru dismissed him with a flick, killing him instantly; a mere eighth level cultivator in the God Refining Realm, had he not held back, a single strike would have sufficed to kill the hooded man.

At this moment, streaks of light descended, and figures suddenly appeared; they were the Grandmasters from Jingye Office, Tianxuan Mountain, and True Sun Sect, and even the Sect Leader of Hehuan Sect had arrived.

In Lingjun City, Han Li watched the battle from afar, his heart pounding unabated, witnessing for the first time how strong the top combat forces of Leizhou were.

“Truly the number one Grandmaster of Leizhou,” Han Li sighed inwardly.

Although he was at the peak of the God Refining Realm, he still fell short compared to the Grandmasters and had never seen a Master-level powerhouse make a move; now, he had witnessed it.

Just as Grandmasters, with a single sword strike, the Sect Leader of Sword Cleansing Pool, Lin Xiangru, had almost slain that demonic Grandmaster, such was the extent of his combat ability.

One sword illuminated half of Leizhou, covering an area of roughly four to five hundred thousand miles. Even as the demonic Grandmaster unleashed all his skills, employing three powerful Earth-Level Top Grade magical treasures, none could withstand a single sword strike.
