Chapter 782: Emotionless Sword Dao
Translator: jinzeffect
“It is a pity. I knew it, Li Jianxin couldn’t possibly have cultivated the Skyline Sword Art’s fourth move.”
“If he cultivated it, the one lying on the ground would be Li Fuchen and not Li Jianxin.”
Everyone felt it was a pity. A pity that they couldn’t see the fourth move and also feeling pitiful for Li Jianxin.
Once Li Jianxin was defeated in this match, everyone knew that the Swordsmen Tournament was coming to an end. It would be up to the match between the Emotionless Sword Emperor and Li Fuchen to see who could laugh till the end. Of course, the Emotionless Sword Emperor had to first defeat the Heart Sword Sovereign and Li Jianxin. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be qualified to fight with Li Fuchen.
“Martial stage 2, Ning Que against Xiao Yuan.”
As veteran top-cla.s.s swordsmen, the match between the duo was unimaginably intense. In fact, everyone could see that the Heart Sword Sovereign was in a much better condition when fighting against the Emotionless Sword Emperor. The heart sword dao emphasized on condition and the better the condition, the higher the combat strength.
“Emotionless Sword Emperor, the two of us have fought several times and I have never won you. This time, I shall reverse the fate.”
The Heart Sword Sovereign’s battle intent burst into the sky while his heart was clear. All of the Emotionless Sword Emperor’s moves couldn’t escape his eyes.
“You still don’t understand? We have a difference in quality between us.”
The Emotionless Sword Emperor brandished dazzling sword lights and didn’t allow the Heart Sword Sovereign to counterattack.
“Heart Palpitation!”
The Heart Sword Sovereign executed his fifth move, launching a torrential wave of sword qi towards the Emotionless Sword Emperor.
The Emotionless Sword Emperor leaped backwards and swung his sword. Countless white sword lights were shot out, cleaning up the Heart Sword Sovereign’s Heart Palpitation. It felt like the spring snow encountering the blazing sun.
“Heart Mourn!”
The Heart Sword Sovereign followed up closely with his kill move. A sword dao law which represented the true essence of death had enveloped the Emotionless Sword Emperor.
“Sword Source Emotionless!’
The Emotionless Sword Emperor’s sword was brandished in a circle. The clear white sword radiance illuminated the martial stage. Once the Heart Mourn’s true death encountered the white sword radiance, it was immediately dissolved and became powerless. The sword field that froze the void couldn’t stop the sword radiance from expanding and was constantly forced to withdraw.
“The sword is originally emotionless and has nothing to fear. How can it fear death? A truly emotionless sword will be able to kill G.o.ds and buddhas.”
Li Fuchen saw through the emotionless sword dao’s true essence.
The emotionless sword dao sacrificed one’s emotions to exchange for fearlessness.
It was imaginable how terrifying it would be when a person was fearless.
Pfff!
The Heart Sword Sovereign was sent flying while vomiting blood.
He was defeated again. During all the matches he had with the Emotionless Sword Emperor, he had never won.
The Emotionless Sword Emperor’s sword dao didn’t have any flaw. The Heart Sword Sovereign suspected that the current Emotionless Sword Emperor might even defeat the Sword Sovereign.
“The Heart Sword Sovereign didn’t lose for no reason.” Li Fuchen sighed.
The emotionless sword dao was definitely a fearsome sword dao, even more than Li Fuchen imagined.
After experiencing a large number of sword daos, Li Fuchen already had a conceptual understanding.
The emotionless sword dao and the ordinary sword dao were definitely of the same level. Such a level of sword dao was judged by Li Fuchen to be top rate sword daos.
The Heart Sword Sovereign’s heart sword dao was also very powerful, but it was still lacking a little as compared to the emotionless sword dao and the ordinary sword dao. It could be considered a quasi-top rate sword dao.
As for Tang Xing’s stars sword dao, it could only be considered a first rate sword dao.
Murong Youyu’s water drip sword dao would be a second rate sword dao.
Beyond those top rate sword daos, there was the supreme rate sword dao.
Li Fuchen felt that his primary extreme sword dao was a kind of supreme rate sword dao.
Of course, the strength of the sword dao wasn’t directly related to a swordsman’s strength.
A swordsman with a deeper understanding of a second rate sword dao might be able to defeat a swordsman with a first rate sword dao.
Only when the sword dao reached the limits, the strength of the sword dao would then affect the strength of the swordsman.
After all, if your limits were lower than others, it meant that your ultimate potential was inferior to others.
However, most people who could create incredible sword daos would generally be very formidable too. It was rare for any of them to be overly weak.
“The Heart Sword Sovereign is still unable to defeat the Emotionless Sword Emperor.”
“The Emotionless Sword Emperor’s rise isn’t inferior to the Sword Emperor and the Sword Sovereign. During the previous Swordsmen Tournament, he had yet to enter the Sword Emperor Rankings and also the Great Emperor Rankings. It is the same situation for Li Fuchen this year.”
“It seems like the Heart Sword Sovereign can only be ranked 4th. Li Jianxin will be either 2nd or 3rd rank.”
“That’s right. It will be to see if the Emotionless Sword Emperor can defeat a sword dao monster like Li Fuchen.”
Everyone had already given Li Fuchen the t.i.tle of a sword dao monster. Right now, Li Fuchen was no longer the challenger, the others were the challengers to him.
It was unknown how long had pa.s.sed...
“Martial stage 6, Ning Que against Li Jianxin.”
Li Jianxin’s injuries had already recovered. When facing the Emotionless Sword Emperor Ning Que, he didn’t dare to be careless and had immediately executed the Skyline Sword Art.
The Skyline Sword Art was one of the fastest sword art.
Unfortunately, the emotionless sword dao also aimed to be fast and accurate.
In terms of sword speed, only the Emotionless Sword Emperor could contest with Li Jianxin. Li Fuchen was actually significantly inferior.
Of course, Li Fuchen used the Primary Extreme Sword Art, he might be able to contest with sword speed. The Primary Extreme Sword Art’s first move, Sword Sea Horizon was also unbelievably fast. It was comparable with the Skyline Sword Art’s third move, Sky Wind G.o.dspeed Slash.
The Primary Extreme Sword Art signified the source of sword dao, therefore, all aspects of it were at the pinnacle.
Apart from that, the Void Heaven Sword Art might not be comparable with the Skyline Sword Art in terms of pure speed, but in terms of effects, it wasn’t inferior to Li Jianxin’s Skyline Sword Art. If Li Jianxin flew faster, Li Fuchen would just shorten the spatial zone, allowing him to reach the destination at the same time or even faster.
Otherwise, Li Fuchen wouldn’t have defeated Li Jianxin with the Void Heaven Sword Art.
It was a duel between the fast swords, therefore, it was even more exciting than the match between Li Fuchen and Li Jianxin.
On the martial stage, only the dazzling and stunning sword light clashes could be seen.
“Too fast, it is even faster than the match between Li Fuchen and Li Jianxin.”
“I thought that the Skyline Sword Art is already the fastest sword art. I didn’t expect the Emotionless Sword Emperor’s Emotionless Sword Art to be as fast. Apart from that, the Emotionless Sword Art is more accurate and ruthless.”
“Don’t be in a hurry to judge. Apart from the Skyline Sword Art’s second move, the next moves would be increasing in speed. It still isn’t the time to determine who is faster between the two.”
As everyone spoke, Li Jianxin used the second move.
The second move was slightly slower than the first move, because of the stacking of the sword lights which affected the speed.
But as compared to the first move, the second move was basically impossible to resist. On the martial stage, a river of light was flowing towards the Emotionless Sword Emperor with extreme speed.
When facing this move, the Emotionless Sword Emperor used the same move he used to neutralize the Heart Sword Sovereign’s fifth move. He leaped back and brandished his sword, shooting out countless sword lights. However, this time, the sword lights didn’t scatter out, they gathered together and looked just like a river of light.
Boom!
The two rivers of light clashed together. The intense radiance filled up the entire Wind Cloud Martial Arena and even leaked outside.
Once the radiance faded a little, Li Jianxin’s figure vanished as he instantly executed the third move, Sky Wind G.o.dspeed Slash. There was an abnormally sharp wave that a.s.saulted the Emotionless Sword Emperor.
“He!”
This was the first time the Emotionless Sword Emperor let out a shout since the start of the tournament. His entire figure turned blurry for a moment and the sword in his hand was so fast that the spatial zone felt there was a reverse in time.
Immediately after, a two-finger thick spatial crack appeared and the Emotionless Sword Emperor blocked the sword that appeared out of nowhere.
Li Jianxin’s Sky Wind G.o.dspeed Slash was blocked.
Everyone looked as though they saw a ghost.
Before this, Li Fuchen wasn’t able to block Li Jianxin’s Sky Wind G.o.dspeed Slash completely. Once Li Fuchen’s sword made contact, it was broken.
“His emotionless sword dao is already limitlessly close to extremity.” The Mystic Deep Sword Saint praised.
The Tiger Fang Sword Saint and the Hundred Flower Sword Saint nodded. In order to block the Skyline Sword Art’s third move, one would need to be like Li Fuchen who condensed both the sword heart and the void dao heart. If not they would need to be like the Emotionless Sword Emperor who pushed their sword dao to a level which was limitlessly close to extremity.
When the two swords were placed together, both parties couldn’t move. Because their sword speed was too fast, after the clash, there was a void ‘adhesive’. Right now, whoever couldn’t hold on would be the one to be defeated.
The spatial cracks were like black lightning and were bursting out between the duo. The shocking amount of energy was constantly collapsing and gathering. It was unknown when it would explode.
Crack!
All of a sudden, Li Jianxin’s sword had an invisible crack that appeared on the surface.
It was a crack that only Li Jianxin could feel.
“Li Jianxin lost.”
Li Fuchen saw the crack too. He had a saint-level spiritual awareness after all and his spirit soul was even stronger than saints.
Crack Crack Crack...
More cracks appeared. Subsequently, Li Jianxin’s sword shattered into thousands of shards and they flew backwards, piercing Li Jianxin’s body.
Thousands of tiny blood arrows burst out from Li Jianxin. He flew backwards and vomited a larger blood arrow.
This time, Li Jianxin didn’t force himself to execute the fourth move. With his current condition, he couldn’t even execute it. If he did so, he would be severely injured.
“Who said that veteran swordsmen couldn’t make it? The Emotionless Sword Emperor neutralized Li Jianxin’s third move directly.”
“The emotionless sword dao isn’t graceful, but it is certainly the most terrifying sword dao.”
On the audience stands, everyone was shocked by the Emotionless Sword Emperor’s strength.
Even the Saber Emperor Chu Kuang was looking seriously at the Emotionless Sword Emperor.
“Emotionless Sword Emperor, I am waiting for a duel with you.” The Sword Sovereign emitted an ancestor like sword prowess, as though he was the dictator within a sword.
The Emotionless Sword Emperor truly made the Sword Sovereign feel the pressure. At their levels, an evenly matched duel would only be beneficial to them. He was able to improve so quickly because he exchanged moves with the Sword Emperor a few times. Without a rival and without pressure, how could the sword dao improve so quickly?
