Chapter 148: Sun Wukong, The Great Sage Who Paralleled Heaven
Zhou Xuanji dodged the Sword Emperor’s giant sword again with his Eight-step Sword Lunge.
After he landed, he immediately activated the Two Swords Mode of the Ten-thousand Sword Dragon Incantation.
He did not activate the enormous power of the G.o.d-Emperor Sword but only used it as a normal weapon. He even used the Sky-sundering Emperor Sword too.
In the same stage, he did not want to borrow such power.
The Hegemon Sword Emperor got up close to Zhou Xuanji but was faced with the challenger’s twin swords.
Clang! Clang! Clang…
The twin swords were like the wind. The dragon-shaped sword Qi enveloped Zhou Xuanji and roared ceaselessly.
The Sword Emperor swung his sword with equal speed and was extremely imposing. Even with Golden Invincibility, Zhou Xuanji was not stronger than him.
Fortunately, Zhou Xuanji was faster than him!
The two of them engaged in intense combat, and a powerful duel began in the mirage world!
Zhou Xuanji used two sword techniques simultaneously. With the Vibrant Raindrops Sword and Thirty-six Paths Jade Xiao Sword, he caught the Sword Emperor off guard.
But it only lasted for a short while.
The Sword Emperor suddenly slashed furiously with his giant blade, and a horrifying sword Qi swept Zhou Xuanji away.
A layer of white flame Qi appeared around Hegemon Sword Emperor. He slashed ferociously toward Zhou Xuanji with such an extreme speed that his movements produced residual images that were confusing to the eyes.
The countless sword Qi interlocked as they charged toward Zhou Xuanji.
It was unstoppable!
Zhou Xuanji was shocked. He immediately used the Heavenly Lights. His sword Qi bombarded ahead like a tidal wave but was minced into nothingness by Hegemon Sword Emperor’s sword Qi.
“How can it be… what sword technique is that?”
His expression changed; a tinge of fear could be seen in his eyes.
The raging sword Qi came at him un.o.bstructed. Zhou Xuanji could not dodge it in time; he could only lift up his two swords to block instinctively.
Booom!
Zhou Xuanji was sent flying off, and a stream of blood shot out from his mouth like an arrow and was splattered across the sky.
He somersaulted in the air and quickly steadied his body.
At this moment, the Hegemon Sword Emperor came at him again. With the giant sword raised high up, the Sword Emperor smashed at Zhou Xuanji furiously.
Zhou Xuanji was in a rage. This guy really did not even give him the time to breathe.
Numerous legendary swords appeared around Zhou Xuanji. There were eight in total. He immediately activated the Ten Swords Mode and faced his enemy’s attack directly.
…
The sky rumbled–
Seeing the hill in front of him was vibrating slightly, Chongming Demon Monarch could not help but feel worried.
Xian Xianghua opened her radiant eyes wide and said softly, “Not bad. This guy can hold on for so long. Much better than those useless ones before him.”
Chongming Demon Monarch asked carefully, “Which Sword Emperor is this? Hegemon Sword Emperor?”
Among the Nine Emperors of the Sword’s Way, Hegemon Sword Emperor was the most famous one.
Juedi Cliff had been the place where two great emperors fought. Both fell in this place. Their anger pervaded the entire place, turning it into dangerous ground.
10,000 years ago, the Hegemon Sword Emperor came into Juedi Cliff alone and did not die, which shocked the entire Northern Wilderness Region. That was why Chongming Demon Monarch thought of the Hegemon Sword Emperor first.
Xian Xianghua nodded. A look of reminiscence could be seen in her eyes.
Chongming Demon Monarch fell silent and was more worried in his heart.
The Hegemon Sword Emperor was just too famous.
Back then, he was considered the most powerful in all the world. He was a person who dominated a whole generation.
And he was a man who pushed the Sword’s Way to its highest height of power and splendor.
Shwoooos.h.!.+ Shwoooos.h.!.+ Shwoooosh…
At this moment, Chongming Demon Monarch heard air-piercing sounds. He turned to take a look.
Six cultivators were flying over quickly. The leader was an old man dressed in a red robe. His body was slim, and his hair was a mixture of both white and black. Many freckles could be seen on his face.
When the old man saw Xian Xianghua, he stopped immediately.
The other five cultivators also looked astonished.
The red-robed old man noticed the hill shaking and cried out in surprise, “Someone is inheriting the Hegemon Sword Emperor?”
Xian Xianghua glanced at him and smiled disdainfully.
“Xian Xianghua, what are you trying to do. You are stealing our Hegemon Sword Sect’s inheritance!”
The red-robed old man asked in an angry tone.
Hegemon Sword Sect was created by the descendant of the Hegemon Sword Emperor. It was influential in the Northern Wilderness Region and its influence was not weaker than Xinhao Sect and Hanyin Divine Sect.
“Who said that it belongs to you, Hegemon Sword Sect? Whoever has the power to take it, it’s his.”
Xian Xianghua said calmly. She looked into the cave in front of her, as though she could probe into the situation inside.
“Xian Xianghua… Sect Lord of Tanhua Sect… Top Evil Cultivator…”
A handsome young man who was behind the red-robed old man mumbled to himself.
He was wearing a blue s.h.i.+rt, and he tied his hair up with a red ribbon. He had a handsome face and yet did not lose his manliness.
“My son, Lin Changge, was appointed by my Ancestor as the inheritor. Other than him, no one can pa.s.s the trial of my Ancestor.”
The red-robed old man said with a deep voice. Chongming Demon Monarch heard him and turned around to see.
The bull demon asked curiously, “He’s Lin Changge? That Exquisite Sword Min?”
Having heard this, the blue-robed young man nodded. He cupped his fist with the sword in his hand and said, “I am Lin Changge. If this brother does not pa.s.s the trial, can you let me have a try?”
Xian Xianghua was too powerful. Lin Changge had to ask politely.
But his att.i.tude did not appear to be too lowly.
Xian Xianghua snorted, “What if he pa.s.sed?”
Lin Changge frowned slightly and did not know what to say.
In his view, no one could receive the Hegemon Sword Emperor’s inheritance.
But he did not want to offend Xian Xianghua either.
“My master is Sword G.o.d Zhou. No one can compete with him in terms of sword techniques. You think he will fail?”
The bull demon shouted arrogantly.
Since I’m going to die, there’s no need for caution.
Sword G.o.d ZHou!
Lin Changge’s frown tightened. The red-robed old man and the other cultivators from Hegemon Sword Sect were shocked too.
Recently, Sword G.o.d Zhou’s mighty name was hugely reputed. Xinhao Sect, Great Zhou, Beiba Blademaster were all after his life. There was hardly one in 100 years who could stir up so many things.
It was not expected that Sword G.o.d Zhou ended up serving Xian Xianghua, no wonder Beiba Blademaster could not kill him.
“I only need a sword of the Hegemon Sword Emperor. If Sword G.o.d Zhou pa.s.sed the trial, then I will have a duel with him. And If I win, the sword belongs to me, but If I lose, I will surely make up for him with sword techniques, swords, spirit stones, materials. He can pick all he wants.”
Lin Changge looked at Xian Xianghua and said.
Although he was the son of the Lord of Hegemon Sword Sect, he was considered the top five in the sect.
“Sure.”
Xian Xianghua glanced at him and smiled disdainfully.
Chongming Demon Monarch opened his eyes wide. This old demonic woman is so scheming!
Isn’t this digging a trap for Zhou Xuanji?
The red-robed old man snorted coldly, “He will not pa.s.s the trial for sure.”
The others were in disdain as well.
They understood the Hegemon Sword Emperor full well, so they were certain.
…
In the mirage world.
The Hegemon Sword Emperor’s body was pierced by 10 swords and he looked like a porcupine.
Next, the Hegemon Sword Emperor’s shadow exploded and disappeared.
10 legendary swords flew back to Zhou Xuanji.
The giant black shadow fell silent.
Zhou Xuanji stared at him and thought to himself. Don’t tell me this guy has spiritual consciousness like the Sky-sundering Sword Emperor?
“Young man, what is your background? The grade of those two swords are so implausibly high.”
The giant black shadow spoke, which made Zhou Xuanji sigh.
He really had his own consciousness!
He replied, “I am from Sacred Region of Huaxia, the reincarnation of Sun Wukong, the Great Sage that Paralleled Heaven.
TL: For the term describing ancient China, I will use the transliteration “Huaxia,” instead of “China” from here onwards.”
“Sacred Region of Huaxia… The Great Sage who Paralleled Heaven… Such a mighty t.i.tle…”
The Hegemon Sword Emperor fell into deep thought, as though he was trying to remember if he had heard of the t.i.tle before.
Zhou Xuanji smiled. He suddenly felt like coming up with random stories was quite fun. No wonder Xian Xianghua loved to make up stories before she killed people.
