Chapter 29: Dongfang Bingling’s Sword

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Ximen City Lord is the strongest person in the world. How could he possibly fear me?” Zhu Qingzhu said, hiding in the darkness with his figure completely invisible.

“Yes, I’m a little afraid of you,” Ximen Wuya replied. “Dongfang Niemie was ranked first in the world, but I was not really afraid of him. You are placed in the second in the world, but I am a little scared.”

“It’s my honor.” Zhu Qingzhu laughed.

“Not just me, but Apprentice Brother Dongfang Niemie also once said the same thing,” Ximen Wuya continued. “He once said that in this world, Zhu Qingzhu is someone who is completely unpredictable and whose thoughts are unfathomable. He said the world ranking is extremely unreliable. If you were to believe in those rankings, it would put you in danger.”

“Master Dongfang overpraised me,” Zhu Qingzhu replied calmly.

“However, Master Zhu is not part of the Yin Yang Sect. Do you have to intervene in this matter?” Ximen Wuya asked.

“After Apprentice Brother Dongfang’s passing, his daughter and wife were left alone. Bingling will probably marry my son in the future. Therefore, how can I, an elder, ignore this matter when Bingling is facing trouble. What’s more, Yang Dingtian cursed my Xuan Sky Sect to go extinct. I won’t be able to justify it if I don’t teach him a lesson.”

“How about this? You take one of my strikes and I’ll leave after that,” Zhu Qingzhu said. “I won’t use Xuan techniques or any other tricks. Just one ordinary strike. What do you think?”

“Sure, as you wish,” Ximen Wuya agreed.

“But, since you have already fought three other people, it would be unfair for you to take my strike directly. I’ll strike you through one large ship.”

With a large ship in between, the energy striking towards Ximen Wuya would be weakened.

Just then, the sound of Zhu Qingzhu moving his sleeve could be heard in the dark.

“Fuuuuuu...” Suddenly, a gigantic wooden ship that was ten meters long and over ten meters wide emerged from the darkness and drifted into position between Ximen Wuya and Zhu Qingzhu.

Everyone was shocked and silent.

“Apprentice Brother Ximen, please do your best,” Zhu Qingzhu said.

“Definitely,” Ximen Wuya replied. Then, he shook his sleeves lightly with his palms and his entire robe swelled.

He knew that the most dangerous moment in his life had come. The most dangerous battle he had ever faced had arrived.

Although the three people that he fought earlier had seemed shocking, they were not dangerous. Although Jiang Songyang was one of the elites in the world, having the same title as Ximen Wuya, his cultivation was far lower.

As for Wuying, although his swordsmanship and speed were incomparable, he wasn’t trying to kill Ximen Wuya deep down in his heart. Plus, his cultivation was more or less the same as Jiang Songyang’s.

The Great Elder of the Yin Yang Sect, Ning Busi, was a top elite in the world and had achieved the rank of Guru more than ten years ago. He even owned the legendary soul weapon: the fiery devil scale. However, in terms of cultivation, Ximen Wuya was not inferior to the hundred-plus-year-old elder. On top of that, in terms of soul weapons, the Sword Soul that he’d put all his heart into cultivating was comparable to all the other soul weapons in the world.

Despite all that, he couldn’t even see Zhu Qingzhu’s shadow. He was as deep as the huge ocean that couldn’t be seen clearly by anyone.

So this time, Ximen Wuya was facing his most dangerous trial. If he managed to resist Zhu Qingzhu, the danger they faced that night could be considered over. Hopefully, no more top tier masters will appear after Zhu Qingzhu.

Thus, Ximen Wuya was going to do his best to withstand this ordinary strike.

He opened all of his pores so that every inch of his body could ferociously absorb Xuan Energy from the world, suffusing every inch of his veins and Sea of Energy with Xuan energy.

Cohesion, cohesion, cohesion!

The endless supply of Xuan Energy condensed in his Sea of Energy from every part of his body, causing it to expand more and more. This process was extremely dangerous as there was the possibility that the Sea of Energy would burst. Hence, Ximen Wuya had never done this before.

However, he was facing his greatest crisis against the most powerful and dangerous enemy in the world. He must risk his life and concentrate Xuan Energy up to 120% of his normal capacity.

“When Apprentice Brother Ximen Wuya is ready, please take the first shot,” Zhu Qingzhu said calmly.

The Xuan Energy was gathered and reached his limit. Ximen Wuya’s entire body was trembling, and his blood veins were cracking and leaking blood.

“This is the moment, the last battle!”

Ximen Wuya struck out, sending forth extremely powerful flame energy.

Suddenly, the entire world fell silent. The flame’s light was swallowed up instantly, and the entire sea fell into darkness.

In the dark, Zhu Qingzhu struck.

The two strands of energy converged in the air.

“Boom...” The 100-meter-long giant ship that was floating in the air was instantly crushed into powder and vanished silently into thin air.

At the same time, another three large ships within a hundred meters of the collision were similarly crushed and erased.

Then, Ximen Wuya’s body jerked as if struck by an invisible air wall. His body was buffeted by the force.

However, he did not take a step back, nor did he spit out any blood.

In the darkness, Zhu Qingzhu sighed and slowly said, “Ximen Wuya is truly the top Guru in the world. But, I’m really curious about who is stronger, you or the late Master Dongfang?”

“I shall leave now!”

After Zhu Qingzhu finished speaking, there was complete silence. It was as if he had never been there in the first place.

However, after Zhu Qingzhu left, Ximen Wuya noticed that the spot where Zhu Qingzhu was standing just now was no longer shrouded in complete darkness. Some light had begun filtering back in. When he was around, it was as if he were swallowing up all the surrounding light such that all that was left was a black void.

Ximen Wuya slowly said, “Now, I suppose no one else would care to stop me?”

No one responded.

“Then, I shall take my leave and bring Yang Dingtian with me,” Ximen Wuya declared.

He turned, about to leave.

“Wait....,” Dongfang Bingling interrupted.

Ximen Wuya repeated, “Who else wants to stop me?”

“Me!” she said.

“You?” Ximen Wuya said while shaking his head. “When your father and I were at your age, we weren’t as good as you. Your talent is rare, but you are still not my opponent now.”

“How would you know if you don’t try?” Dongfang Bingling asked coldly. “The flame ring is mine and Yang Dingtian must stay.”

“No, you are too young. I can’t hurt you,” Ximen Wuya said.

“You are also unable to hurt me,” Dongfang Bingling said coldly. Then, she raised her precious sword and shouted, “Yin Yang formation, go!”

“Whoosh...”

Immediately, dozens of people flew out from the surface of the sea like meteors and formed a circle in the air, spinning rapidly.

This was the Tai Chi formation, measuring dozens of meters in diameter. Half of the formation was enveloped in a red fiery flame, while the other half was covered in blue cold ice. However, the two dots that were supposed to be in the middle were missing.

“Apprentice Brother Xue, go!” Dongfang Bingling urged.

Instantly, both Dongfang Bingling and Zhu Hongxue flew towards the two points in the Tai Chi formation. Dongfang Bingling’s entire body turned icy blue, while Zhu Hongxue’s turned blood red. Now, there were two dots in the middle of the Yin Yang formation.

Dongfang Bingling and Zhu Hongxue along with dozens of Yin Yang Sect elders formed a complete Yin Yang formation. The entire Tai Chi formation was spinning rapidly around Zhu Hongxue and Dongfang Bingling, both of whom were floating in midair.

Ximen Wuya was stunned. “I never thought that you would be the most dangerous one, Dongfang Bingling.”

“It seems like you will not let me leave here alive today,” Ximen Wuya said slowly.

“Hand over Yang Dingtian. Then, you may not have to die. The flame ring is mine. I must get it.”

“Uncle Ximen, you have just used up all of your Xuan energy and exhausted your Veins and Sea of Energy’s capacity to withstand Uncle Zhu’s strike just now. What you should do now is to step back and rest. Maybe in half a year’s time, you could recover. Otherwise, your life will be threatened. As long as you hand over Yang Dingtian, I will let you leave immediately.”

Ximen Wuya laughed. “If my life needs to be spared by you, I might as well be dead.”

“Ximen City Lord, you don’t even have the slightest bit of Xuan energy left. How are you going to withstand my Yin Yang formation’s two-in-one sword? Just one swing and you would vanish instantly,” Dongfang Bingling asked.

“Not necessarily...,” Ximen Wuya said coldly. “You can go ahead and try.”

“Since you’re seeking death, I will grant your wish,” Dongfang Bingling replied coldly.

“Don’t talk so much nonsense with him. Just kill him,” said Zhu Hongxue.

“Yin Yang formation’s two-in-one sword, soul elimination!”

With this order from Dongfang Bingling, the entire Yin Yang formation spread out in a dazzling light. The Xuan energy of dozens of Yin Yang Sect elders converged on the two dots in the center, condensing around Dongfang Bingling and Zhu Hongxue’s long swords.

The pair’s swords grew brighter and brighter, and finally, they resembled stars in the night sky.

“Two swords combine!”

Then, both swords merged into a single one-hundred-meter-long giant sword. Dongfang Bingling raised it and aimed towards Ximen Wuya.

“Uncle Ximen, you forced me. Don’t blame me for being heartless.”

As Dongfang Bingling let out a grief-stricken roar. The giant sword slammed down violently, instantly sundering the entire sea.

“Blood Thirst Technique ...,” Ximen Wuya shouted as he spat out a mouthful of blood mist.

“Boom!” The blood mist met the sword and started burning intensely.

The thin sword in Ximen Wuya’s hand also turned into a giant sword a hundred meters long. It swept forth and welcomed Dongfang Bingling’s giant sword, clashing with it violently.

“Bang!” A thunder-like noise erupted as if a nuclear bomb had detonated. The dark sea was enveloped in a blinding light.

“Boom!” Both energies exploded.

On the surface of the sea, a huge wave one hundred meters tall swelled. Like a giant wall, it swept towards the east and smashed all of the Yin Yang Sect’s big ships into pieces.

Ximen Wuya’s body swiftly flew several dozen meters away. He spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone in Dongfang Bingling’s Yin Yang formation also vomited blood as if they had been struck by lightning.

Only Dongfang Bingling had a touch of blood at the edge of her mouth. Meanwhile, there was no trace of blood on Zhu Hongxue, who just looked a little pale.

“Ximen Wuya City Lord is truly unpredictable. You’ve even mastered the legendary blood thirst technique,” Dongfang Bingling commented. “However, I’m aware that this blood thirst technique turns all the blood in the body into Xuan energy. Using it once will use up half of your lifespan. Over the past few centuries, no one had ever dared use it a second time. I really want to see how you are going to withstand my second two-in-one sword attack.”
