Chapter 888 The Divine Sword Recognized Its Owner!
At the foot of the Sword-hidden Mountain, the old sword guard, who was lying on the bed, heard a strange sound coming from the back of the mountain. Despite the cold weather at night, he jumped off the bed, put on a thick coat, and hurried out of the room, looking at the sky in the back of the mountain.
As he saw it, the old man’s face couldn’t help twitching, and then his whole body started trembling.
“Over 2,200 years. 2,200 years… ” Looking at the huge s.h.i.+ning sword shadow, the old man was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
“The divine sword is out, sweeping away all the evil spirits in the world!” While he was exhilarated, the old man laughed out loud heartily. “It’s completed! The duty of more than 2,200 years has finally been completed in my generation!”
“I didn’t even dare to dream that it would be completed in my generation. But I witnessed it! I saw it with my own eyes!” When he looked at the huge sword shadow in the sky behind the mountain, the old man’s eyes were full of happiness.
Different from all the Wulin people, he didn’t feel greedy at all. Instead, his eyes were filled with love, which was the kind of love that could only be felt after guarding the sword for over 2,200 years!
“Is it him?” Suddenly, a young man’s face appeared in the old man’s mind, who was carefully sweeping the floor and cleaning the stele at that time.
“Well, it should be him.” The old man smiled while nodding with satisfaction.
The divine sword recognized its owner while the prominent expert turned up in this generation!
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…” Under the dark sky, a figure ran swiftly on the ground like an agile snake. He quickly slid for a long distance and then stopped in front of the road outside the Sword-hidden Mountain.
“Hmm?” The figure stopped because of seeing the huge sword shadow in the sky above the Sword-hidden Mountain.
Under the light of the sword shadow, he could clearly see that an old man wearing a ragged scarf held a long sword tightly wrapped in rags.
Judged from his appearance, the old man seemed amiable.
However, when he took a closer look, he could see that there was sheer greed in the old man’s eyes when he was gazing at the sword shadow.
“Sure enough. Perfect timing. The divine sword is mine!”
In front of the Sword Enlightenment Stele, countless Wulin people were astounded by this scene.
Many of them tried their best to get over the shock. They immediately took out their mobile phones and prepared to make a live stream to report to the forces behind them.
However, when they turned on their phones, they found that there was no signal at all.
“What’s going on?”
“Why is there no signal?”
“It was fine just now and I even got the 4G signal. Why is there no signal all of a sudden?”
These people, who came from the major forces, began to look for the signal anxiously. They wanted to report it as soon as possible, but no matter how they searched, there was no signal.
It seemed that the signal here was disturbed by something.
Except for the people of the major forces, people who had been sitting in front of the stele meditating earlier looked at the huge sword shadow in the sky with awe. All of them were inexplicably asking themselves and recalling with expectations.
“Could it be me?”
“Is it me? But I didn’t do anything special just now.”
“Did I comprehend because I burped loudly when I was meditating?”
“What did I do just now?”
Everyone was wondering if they were the person who comprehended.
Because John Doe finished his meditation in advance and looked depressed, no one thought that it would be him.
Fang Qiu’s reaction was the same as others.
“Could it be me?” Looking at the stele, he was quite confused and stunned.
Just now, he really did a bold thing, trying to attack the Sword Enlightenment Stele. He thought that maybe no one had dared to do this in the past thousand years. Moreover, it was not an open fight, but a strike in the void.
It was an abstract strike that he had just learned!
Just as everyone was filled with doubts, the light of the sword shadow in the sky suddenly dissipated. The shadow seemed to be condensed, suspending in the sky.
The divine sword took form!
“Buzz, buzz, buzz…” The moment the divine sword was formed, the mountain in the front and the another one in the back suddenly started buzzing, just like gra.s.shoppers flapping their wings.
This sound was so loud that it shocked everyone.
Everyone turned and looked around to find the source of the sound.
At the next moment, everyone who was looking in different directions could clearly see that countless light shadows suddenly rose from the surrounding mountains and turned into bright lights, which ascended into the sky from different angles.
At first, there was only one sword shadow in the air.
Immediately, dense sword shadows were all over the sky.
It was as if the sky, which used to be covered with dark clouds, suddenly turned into a completely starry sky.
Dense sword shadows floated in the sky, buzzing and trembling.
“Swis.h.!.+” With the appearance of these sword shadows, the divine sword that had just formed in the center suddenly moved.
With a piercing sound breaking through the air, the giant sword suddenly rushed down from the sky and shot toward Fang Qiu like lightning.
Fang Qiu had no time to react.
The giant sword shadow stabbed straight into Fang Qiu’s body.
Everyone around was stunned.
“What’s going on?”
“What, what does this mean?”
“Was John Doe killed?”
“Why did the divine sword want to kill John Doe?”
“Did John Doe offend the divine sword?”
Everyone was dumbfounded by the scene in front of them. They didn’t know what it meant. Why did the divine sword suddenly appear, and why did it suddenly enter Fang Qiu’s body?
“Swish…” Just when everyone was extremely shocked and couldn’t figure out what had happened, the sword shadows of the regular size in the sky also moved.
They rapidly flew toward Fang Qiu from different angles and trajectories.
The sudden movement startled everyone present.
Seeing the sword shadows flying over, many people quickly dodged, afraid of being accidentally injured.
However, some people were bold and had confidence in their own strength. Knowing that the sword shadows were not real, they tried to reach out to grab them, but got nothing.
First of all, the sword shadows were moving too fast.
Secondly, even if they caught the shadows, it was meaningless. The sword shadows were not affected at all and went straight through their hands!
Just like the giant sword, the sword shadows all over the sky shot from different angles like thousands of arrows piercing an object, mercilessly stabbing into Fang Qiu’s body and vanis.h.i.+ng!
At this moment, Fang Qiu’s vision went dark.
As if he had suddenly closed his eyes, a picture flashed in his mind. He could see that after tens of thousands of swords rushed into his body, they continued to fly to a dark place. Then, with the giant sword as the foundation, they plunged into the giant sword one after another. Finally, all the sword shadows gathered together and merged into one.
The giant sword began to shrink.
Ultimately, it transformed into a sword the size of an ordinary long sword!
“Is this a consciousness s.p.a.ce?” An idea struck Fang Qiu.
Looking around, he could only see darkness. But when he lowered his head, he could see his body, hands, and feet. They were all so real.
He used to hear from the old master that everyone was an independent object of consciousness and had their own consciousness s.p.a.ce. Some people could enter their own s.p.a.ce, while others couldn’t.
Now, Fang Qiu understood.
He was sure that what he saw now was his own consciousness s.p.a.ce.
With this thought in mind, Fang Qiu didn’t think much about it. He immediately reached out to grab the long sword floating in the darkness in front of him!
As he did this, the seemingly illusory long sword instantly condensed into a real sword and was held in Fang Qiu’s hand.
Holding the hilt, Fang Qiu had a quite strange feeling in his heart.
It was as if he had integrated with the sword and he and the sword became one. The sword was like his own hand.
That kind of feeling seemed to be natural.
At this moment, Fang Qiu was suddenly enlightened. “It was because of that sword move!”
It was his last strike that gained the recognition of the divine sword in the stele. Only then would the divine sword appear!
Since ancient times, no one gained recognition from it. While people were trying to comprehend, the divine sword hidden in the stele was also examining. For more than 2,200 years, the divine sword finally found a person worthy of its recognition!
Fang Qiu was extremely glad.
When he was about to let go of the long sword and leave the consciousness s.p.a.ce, he suddenly felt that everything in front of him turned dark, and everything he had just seen vanished.
The long sword was no longer in his hand but floated in front of him again.
Before Fang Qiu reached out to grab it again, the long sword suddenly softened and turned into a light shadow.
As he took a closer look, it was a figure holding a long sword.
Under Fang Qiu’s gaze, the figure naturally began to demonstrate sword moves like a cartoon.
There were not many sword moves, which was a total of three moves!
Fang Qiu studied them carefully.
He knew that the opportunity in front of him was exceptionally rare!
He completely memorized the three sword moves.
After the demonstration of the three sword moves finished, the light shadow suddenly began to split, turning into several light shadows of the same size, and began to demonstrate again.
However, this time, the shadows no longer demonstrated the previous three sword moves, but a set of Combined Attack Sword Formation!
Fang Qiu was completely fascinated.
Both the three sword moves and the Combined Attack Sword Formation were so impeccable that Fang Qiu couldn’t see any flaws.
The demonstration was over.
The light shadow of the Combined Attack Sword Formation froze as if they were engraved in Fang Qiu’s mind like being kept in the storage s.p.a.ce.
The picture changed again.
The light shadow that demonstrated the three sword moves appeared again. But this time, when it demonstrated the three moves, Fang Qiu found that something was different because the first two moves seemed to disappear little by little.
At last, the first move changed from the sword move to the Great Hand of Destruction.
The second move also turned into the s.p.a.ce-splitting Sea-cracking Sword!
The third move became void!
Fang Qiu was stunned.
“Is the sword move I comprehended on the sea even more powerful than the moves here so they directly replaced the first two sword moves?”
Fang Qiu was shocked.
There was no doubt that the Great Hand of Destruction was powerful.
But after pondering about it carefully, he found that the s.p.a.ce-splitting Sea-cracking Sword was also comprehended based on the Great Hand of Destruction. It was indeed no worse than the Great Hand of Destruction!
