Chapter 1308: The Sword Devil’s Killing Move
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yu Shangrong forcefully turned his body and saw Xi Qishu rus.h.i.+ng at him with a huge saber and energy saber in his hand.
No matter how one looked at it, this was clearly Xi Qishu’s strongest killing move. Blood essence, trump cards, Great Birth Chart power, techniques, and even possibly forbidden pills were all used in this move.
Yu Shangrong held the golden halo up and faced the huge saber.
Bang!
When the energy saber landed on the golden halo, it burst with a golden-green energy that rippled out into the surroundings.
“Hm?” Xi Qishu was surprised when he saw that the golden halo managed to withstand his energy saber. He grew even more furious. All his Primal Qi in his Dantian’s sea of Qi surged down his arms into his hands, enlarging the energy saber before he continued to press it down on Yu Shangrong’s golden halo. He was determined to use the rebound force to cleave the golden halo into two.
Xi Qishu’s strength had exceeded Yu Shangrong’s expectations. A question popped up in his mind at this time: was it really impossible to defeat this person who had pa.s.sed two Birth Trials? He shook his head. He believed that there was no opponent in this world who could not be defeated.
Over the years, Yu Shangrong had tested the strength and abilities of his eleven leaves countless times. When he first sprouted the eleventh leaf, he had killed Su Heng, one of Duan Xihua’s men. At that time, his strength was comparable to five Birth Charts. After he stabilized his cultivation base, he continued to absorb life hearts, but the height of his avatar was that of someone with six Birth Charts.
Every time a cultivator activated a Birth Chart, the height of his avatar would increase. Fortunately, Yu Shangrong was not too obsessed with these changes. As long as his strength increased, he thought his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar was pretty good. He continued to absorb life hearts. Up until now, he had absorbed nearly 15 life hearts, including their abilities. With that, his cultivation had increased tremendously. Moreover, after traveling to the Unknown Land, with the help of the Pillar of Impermanence, it continued to improve by leaps and bounds.
At this moment, Yu Shangrong sensed the threatening aura from the energy saber pressing down him. He murmured as he lowered his alt.i.tude, “There’s that feeling again…”
Upon hearing these words, Xi Qishu sneered. “Is it the feeling of dying? Does it feel good?”
“No.” Yu Shangrong raised his head to look at the sky.
“Hmm?” Xi Qishu frowned.
Yu Shangrong smiled slightly before he pushed the golden halo out.
“Avatar.”
Buzz!
A 650-foot Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar appeared and swiftly increased in height.
700 feet.
800 feet.
900 feet.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang from the golden halo at this time. With that, the twelfth golden leaf sprouted from the golden halo.
Bang!
The crimson net broke, and the green energy saber was bounced back.
Yu Shangrong’s golden halo burst with an energy that sent Xi Qishu flying to the horizon.
At this moment when the Sword Devil sprouted the twelfth leaf, he felt as though his Dantian’s sea of Qi had broken free of some shackles. His Eight Extraordinary Meridians, energy, essence, and spirit were energized in just an instant. It was as though the suppressive force, which was like an incomparably hard gla.s.s, that had been bearing down on him finally shattered after he had continuously beaten it. Suddenly, he felt that Xi Qishu had become weaker.
Yu Shangrong pushed the golden halo out again.
The twelve leaves spun at the same time.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The golden leaves. .h.i.t the energy saber, destroying it before they moved onto the crimson saber. They broke the crimson saber easily as though it was a twig.
Following that, the golden halo landed on Xi Qishu’s chest.
Xi Qishu’s eyes widened as he cried out in a trembling voice, “T-twelve leaves!”
“Longevity Sword,” Yu Shangrong called out calmly. The Longevity Sword flew into his hand. With that, he started a new round of demonstration of his sword path.
Left, right, up, down, front, and back. It seemed like Yu Shangrong was everywhere at the same time. More than ten figures flashed around, some holding golden leaves and some holding the Longevity Swords. All of them attacked Xi Qishu at the same time.
Before the green avatar could move, the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar had already appeared above the green avatar. Then, it stomped its feet fiercely on the green avatar.
Bang!
The green avatar shook violently along with heaven and earth as clouds rolled in.
Yu Shangrong unleashed his unbeatable and oppressive sword path. Under his a.s.sault, Xi Qishu’s protective energy lasted only a few breaths before it was shattered by his energy swords. With that, the remaining energy swords landed one after another on Xi Qishu’s body.
The green avatar suddenly vanished, indicating Xi Qishu had lost a Birth Chart.
Anger and hatred had completely taken over Xi Qishu at this moment. He said decisively, “Don’t even think about leaving!”
Boom!
The explosion of a Great Birth Chart was like fireworks blooming in the night sky.
Xi Qishu laughed. Although he was certain that he had succeeded, his laughter contained a hint of despair. However, when the explosion died down, he was stunned.
Xi Qishu saw the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar kneeling with its back toward him and its hands were holding Yu Shangrong. The golden halo with twelve leaves spun on the avatar’s back. Most importantly, the avatar was bathed in flames!
When Yu Shangrong sprouted his twelfth leaf, he had awakened the karmic fire as well!
A smile could be seen on Yu Shangrong’s face at this time. He raised his Longevity Sword, and the avatar gradually vanished. Then, he turned to face Xi Qishu and said indifferently, “Die, Xi Qishu.”
With that, countless energy swords shot out of the Longevity Sword looking like a long dragon and pierced through Xi Qishu’s chest.
At this moment, Xi Qishu finally revealed a frightened expression on his face as he fell. He looked at the sky filled with energy swords that looked like dragons pouncing at him, and despair overwhelmed him and devoured his will to resist.
Boom!
Xi Qishu fell to the ground.
The battle ended.
The energy swords and the green energy dissipated, and the broken crimson saber lay quietly on the ground.
Xi Qishu’s eyes widened as he looked at Yu Shangrong who was hovering in the air. It seemed like he was trying to speak, but only the sound of blood gurgling in his throat could be heard. After a while, he grinned like a madman as he finally succeeded in saying, “The emperor… of Great Qin… won’t let you off… for this…”
At this moment, a figure pounced on Xi Qishu like a mad wolf. A cold light glinted in his hand as he repeatedly stabbed Xi Qishu’s body. It was not until Xi Qishu’s body became a b.l.o.o.d.y mess that he slowed down. At this point, he had lost count of how many times he had stabbed Xi Qishu. At the same time, he cursed, “You’re the bast*rd! You’re the bast*rd! All your family members are bast*rds!”
At this moment, a voice rang from above.
“Old Fourth, that’s enough.”
Mings.h.i.+ Yin did not stop. He did not care about the blood or his injuries. He kept stabbing with his Separation Hook.
Yu Shangrong said again, “That’s enough!”
The soundwave was gentle and just enough to push Mings.h.i.+ Yin back.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin sat back and looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y Separation Hook. The moonlight hit the book, refracting the light on his face. He looked at Xi Qishu.
Xi Qishu’s head was tilted to the side and staring back at Mings.h.i.+ Yin lifelessly. A smile could still be seen on his face.. He was no longer breathing.
