Chapter 668: Returning to Qionghua and Battling
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
On the next day, the players came early and sat in the lounge area, waiting to watch Mr. Fang’s livestream.
Gou Mang and the G.o.dly dragon shared the same opinion about mortals, and they believed that these tiny existences weren’t worth their efforts. Considering that Han Lingsha didn’t want to take the G.o.dly bow for herself, he intended to kick them out of the Temple of the Sky instead of killing them.
“Um? G.o.dly dragon’s presence?” While Yun Tianhe activated his cultivation strength, Gou Mang sensed a special presence from him. He asked, “What’s your relations.h.i.+p with the Aurogon?”
“What relations.h.i.+p?” Yun Tianhe thought for a moment and said in confusion, “A pure fighting relations.h.i.+p.”
“!??”
Not only Gou Mang but the audience froze at Yun Tianhe’s words.
[Excellent!]
[Tianhe is awesome!]
[Hahaha! This fighting relations.h.i.+p is cool!]
The audience flooded the screen with bullet comments.
“Hahaha! Tianhe is super fun!” The elves laughed, feeling like there was nothing wrong with Tianhe’s answer. “Look at Gou Mang’s livid face! Haha”
“Hahaha! He’s really a savage! He knows nothing.”
“Such audacity!” At this moment, Gou Mang attacked again, but only to test their strengths. After finding that they were indeed powerful enough and potentially battled the Aurogon, he stopped testing and thought for a bit.
However, taking the G.o.dly bow was obviously impossible now. Gou Mang said, “A sinner (Han Lingsha) can’t touch the G.o.dly artifact. Only people with the purest mind are qualified to be its owner!”
“Ugh? Does it mean that Tianhe can take it?” In the Yuanyang City Shop, Jessica ate another slice of spiritual melon as she watched the livestream with great interest even though she wasn’t allowed to play the game. “Yun Tianhe is as pure as a blank paper; does he meet the requirement?”
Obviously, Gou Mang had also sensed the extraordinary quality in Yun Tianhe who had the presence of the G.o.dly dragon in him.
At this moment, Mr. Fang said in the livestream, “Such a situation. I can’t just take it after you say so, right?”
“You hurt Lingsha…” Yun Tianhe was obviously extremely angered. “I don’t care about it.”
The elves looked envious, wis.h.i.+ng that they could take the bow.
On the screen, Yun Tianhe’s teammates persuaded him to take the bow. Otherwise, their efforts so far would be in vain.
Finally, he took up the Sun-Shooting Bow.
“I want to try it…” The elves were eager to try this G.o.dly artifact with their own hands.
However, these fans of natural beauty turned sulky after remembering that they hadn’t even met the G.o.dly dragon yet. It would take a long while for them to reach this part of the story.
“Let’s watch how the shop owner uses the bow…”
“Let’s see how powerful this bow is…”
“As instructed by Pan Gu, all things in the six realms have their own destinies. The movements of the sun and the moon, the change of four seasons, and everything in the world all follow their destined paths. The ultimate power is the Heavenly Dao. From now on, the Hou Yi Sun-Shooting Bow will submit to you and take you as its master.”
[TL Note: Pan Gu is the first living being and the creator of all in some versions of Chinese mythology.]
“How come it sounds so deep?” The players in the new shop looked baffled as if they were listening to G.o.d’s teaching. They had a vague feeling that these words contained ultimate truth but couldn’t really understand it. They were all awed by these words!
“The mystical realms in this shop…” The players exchanged a look and thought, How come they are so excellent?!
The Legend of Sword and Fairy 4 was a complete and vast world.
The journey to the Temple of the Sky was scary but not dangerous. With the G.o.dly dragon’s presence with them, even Immortal General Gou Mang went easy on them, respecting the G.o.dly dragon.
Therefore, compared with the battle with the G.o.dly dragon, this battle was much easier.
The power of Hou Yi Sun-Shooting Bow was determined by its owner’s strength.
In the system version, the players could make it easier by controlling Yun Tianhe to take the bow directly, but Gou Mang would still test their strengths. But this way, the players could pa.s.s this stage more easily.
When the main characters entered the demon realm again, they saw the past events with more details from the fantasy array.
After Faction Master Taiqing Spiritual Master died in the war, the demon realm hovered over all the disciples of the Qionghua Faction like a huge shadow, which caused conflicting views among them.
However, Liu Mengli’s mother, Chan Yu, the Lord of the Demon Realm, wasn’t in a better situation.
At this moment, Xuan Xiao broke out from the ice. With the Xihe Sword and w.a.n.gshu Sword in hand, he merged the yang essence of Xihe with the chilly yin essence of the Ice-Freezing Scroll in his body, reaching the peak stage of his strength.
Under the powerful force of the two swords, the barrier was broken, and many demons were killed. The Purple Crystals which was used to supply energy for the demon realm were taken away. Stimulated by the prospect of imminent ascendance, the disciples of the Qionghua Faction were mad with murderous spirits, even turning against Murong Ziying and Yun Tianhe, their peers in the fraction, as the latter tried to dissuade them.
It proved that certain things could indeed turn people into maniacs.
Demon General Gui Xie was killed at the entrance of the demon realm. The battle was happening between Chan You, the fatigued lord of the demon realm, and Xuan Xiao, who was in the prime of his life.
Everyone s.h.i.+vered silently as they watched the extremely powerful Xuan Xiao who emitted blazing murderous spirit. The viewers weren’t even this scared when they saw Immortal General Gou Mang.
Emitting blazing flames and chilly icy mist alternatively, Xuan Xiao’s murderous spirit almost suffocated the audience even through the screen.
At a loss for what to do in this situation that was extremely one-sided, Yun Tianhe and his friends watched many demons getting slaughtered while they tried to protect Liu Mengli and a few others.
G.o.dly artifacts chose their owners. The Hou Yi Sun-Shooting Bow chose its owner, and so did the w.a.n.gshu Sword.
Perhaps due to the workings of destiny, Han Lingsha was the new host of the w.a.n.gshu Sword. Born at a Yin hour and a Yin moment with a life of contradictory elements, only her appearance could wake up the w.a.n.gshu Sword. Yun Tianhe had used this sword for years and didn’t see anything special in it. But after Han Lingsha appeared, he hacked open his parent’s tomb with the sword at the Rock Creek Cave.
However, due to the aggressive power contained in the w.a.n.gshu Sword, its activation would damage the vital soul of the host who wasn’t a cultivator. When the dual swords were used to trap the demon realm, it would cause even greater damage.
Yun Tianhe had given the w.a.n.gshu Sword to Xuan Xiao due to his guilt for the things that his father had done and helped Xuan Xiao break out from the ice. At that time, he didn’t know what Xuan Xiao would do with the sword.
When Yun Tianhe found out, it was too late.
“Tianhe, it’s been a while since I last saw you. Big Brother missed you.” Despite his selfish intention for using Tianhe, Xuan Xiao was still grateful to Tianhe who had helped him when he was most in need. He and Tianhe had even become sworn brothers.
Perhaps since everyone whom Yun Tianhe had met after he came down the mountains were good to him, he trusted everyone he met, including Xuan Xiao. “Big Brother… Is everything you told me a lie? Your only purpose is to take back the w.a.n.gshu Sword? You only want to take spiritual essence from the demon realm and ascend to become an immortal?”
“What happened in the past, real and fake, are not important,” Xuan Xiao said gravely, “The most important thing is that you’re still my brother. After I ascend and become an immortal, it’s a piece of cake for me to save Han Lingsha!”
Xuan Xiao even invited Yun Tianhe to ascend with him, fulfilling the great achievement that the Qionghua Faction had been working on for in the past 1,000 years.
