Chapter 563: That D*mn Woman, Would You Dare to Come out and Fight with Me—the King, for Three Hundred Rounds
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Zhou Bao knew very well about the might of fairy weapons. He had encountered some fairy weapons before. For example, Ye Qingtian’s North Pole Frozen Wheel. But at that time, Zhou Bao was able to use his Furnace of Immortality. In this way, the power of the North Pole Frozen Wheel would be offset by his Furnace of Immortality and would then pose little threat to him.
But things were different today because he did not dare to use his Furnace of Immortality in the Divine Wind Palace. Although he came here in a threatening manner, to be honest, he was not ready to fall out with the Divine Wind Palace completely. Hence, the first man he killed was Qiao Huai from the Dark Sect rather than Zhi IX.
At present, the Green Pith Leaf was pressing down directly and he couldn’t think of anything but to activate his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. A black-red glow flashed suddenly across the back of his head and in the glow, a transparent little sword that seemed to be forged by rare glaze, rose and hit right at the Green Pith Leaf.
“What’s this?”
“Why is it void of spirits?”
“It’s so speedy!”
“This sword is so weird!”
Zhou Bao had nourished it carefully in his body and had never used it ever since he successfully practiced the Natal Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. After so many years, the Natal Sword had lost all its murderous intent.
All the killing intent and murderous intent were ultimately condensed into one single streak which looked harmless and fragile, but it was this Natal Sword that didn’t fear the suppression of the Green Pith Leaf. With a single sword movement, it actually overturned the Green Pith Leaf.
Yes, it overturned the Green Pith Leaf!
After all, it was a fairy weapon. Under the attack of the Natal Sword, it suffered no damage at all. But overturned by the attack, the Green Pith Leaf which could have suppressed Zhou Bao in one fell swoop, seemed to have been greatly stimulated by the Natal Sword. It shone vigorously first and then darkened, advancing straight to envelop the Natal Sword.
Looking like a big net, the green light covered the Natal Sword. However, the Natal Sword was not weak either. It wandered around like a snake and wherever it went, the green light would be extinguished. The leaf and the sword were so well-matched that neither could gain the upper hand.
“No, what is that sword? Is it a Fairy Weapon too?”
“I don’t think so. It doesn’t look like a fairy weapon but a sword made from his pneuma!”
“It’s impossible. He’s merely at Level Nine, so how can he form such a Natal Sword in his body?”
“Wait, it seems that I know this object!” There was a sudden cry of surprise in the midst of all these discussions. A shriek rang out as if its owner was Columbus, the person who had discovered a new world. “It’s the Natal Sword, the Natal Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword! How can this guy be capable of practicing the Natal Sword successfully?”
“What, the Natal Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword? How many people did he kill? Where did he get that much murderous intent?”
“He actually formed a Natal Sword. How many people on earth did he kill to enable him to form the Natal Sword?!”
“No wonder the Natal Sword could fight with the Green Spirit Leaf for so long! The Green Spirit Leaf contains the Dharma of life and is full of vitality, but the Natal Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword is made of a streak of congenital killing intent that takes shape when the Yin and Yang pneuma meet with each other. Such a Natal Sword happens to be the nemesis of life!”
“There are a lot of people who practice the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword in this world, but I have never heard of anyone who actually managed to create this legendary object. Are you sure?”
“Yeah, it’s impossible! How can he be so murderous? He is so young!”
An intense discussion rose for a moment. They didn’t know that the reason why Zhou Bao was able to create this Natal Sword, was entirely due to the infinite killing intent of that Heavenly Fairy Weapon, the red gourd. He succeeded in condensing the Natal Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword in one go because he had comprehended the Way of Killing Dharma within the Immortal Character on the red gourd. Presently, he was not capable of using the red gourd. But this time, in order to withstand the attacks of that fairy weapon, he was obliged to give full play to the power of his Natal Sword. However, to his surprise, he found that his Natal Sword actually related to that Heavenly Fairy Weapon in a mysterious manner. Originally, with his attainment on the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, he was able to use the Natal Sword twice at most. However, in order to fight with the Green Pith Leaf, he fought without any distractions and could vaguely feel a little change happening to the red gourd. By connecting to this Heavenly Fairy Weapon, his Natal Sword could then fight neck and neck with the Green Pith Leaf.
The dense vitality contained in the Green Pith Leaf tangled with the all-eliminating killing intent within his Natal Sword. The colliding of these two extremities, namely, life and death, enabled his heart to have a mysterious change. A wonderful insight came into his mind.
A strange poem echoed in his mind.
Everything was born to feed the human, but the human had contributed nothing in return. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!
In Zhou Bao’s previous life, everything was born to feed the human, but in this life, the human was not the only protagonist in this world. However, the reason was the same.
The heaven was the most kind-hearted mother who gave birth to, and nourished all things. But as soon as the living creatures with spiritual intelligence, the best among all things, appeared, they broke the balance between heaven and earth. They only knew how to ask for things but knew nothing of return. They indiscriminately slaughtered everything to meet their desires. It not only hurt themselves but also the foundation of heaven and earth.
In this way, the Thunder Tribulation, Law of Heaven, Human Emperor’s position, and infinite killing intent came into being.
The appearance of all these was not to destroy everything, nor to manifest the majesty of heaven, nor to show heaven favored who and thus gave him the power. The sole purpose of all these was for balance and survival.
With the change of Zhou Bao’s state of mind, the Natal Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword also began to change, and so did the red gourd that had been nouris.h.i.+ng carefully in Zhou Bao’s Dantian. Although Zhou Bao hadn’t refined it yet and was unable to use it presently, it kept linking to his mind inevitably. Now, Zhou Bao’s wonderful state of mind was exactly in line with the Dharma of the Way of Heaven in the Heavenly Fairy Weapon and was gradually influencing the red gourd. Although the red gourd was unable to rush out to help Zhou Bao, it could do much to help the Natal Sword.
Originally, Zhou Bao’s Natal Sword was das.h.i.+ng in all directions in the net made of that green light. It looked formidable but could not break the green light net in any way. The reason was that it was merely a streak of pneuma. Although it was condensed by the congenital killing intent that took shape the moment when Yin merged into Yang, its foundation was still weak. However, the Green Pith Leaf was a fairy weapon with the complete Dharma of the Way of Heaven, and the Immortal Character within it pointed directly at the Way of Life which was of tremendous momentum. Hence, undoubtedly, the newly born congenital killing intent could not withstand it. The Natal Sword looked rather formidable, but in fact, it couldn’t withstand the attack any longer.
But now things were different. Just when Zhou Bao had a moment of enlightenment, the murderous intent in the red gourd rolled in like a mighty river and it all swarmed into the Natal Sword. The Natal Sword shone vigorously all of a sudden. Less than one foot, the sword body suddenly shone with black-red sword light and the murderous intent within it rose straightly up toward the sky. Crack! It instantly tore the green net made from the Green Pith Leaf apart and stabbed right at the leaf.
“Ding…!” With a clear sound, the Natal Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword suddenly smashed. Zhou Bao took three steps backward as if his body was severely injured. Meanwhile, blood seeped out through his mouth and nose. But the Green Pith Leaf was not much better. The green light dispersed at the place where it was stabbed by the Natal Sword and a crack appeared on the green leaf. As soon as the crack emerged, a stream of green spirit swept around this place, and in the blink of an eye, the Treasure Light Tower, completely made of jade, was turned into a palace full of greenery. Huge trees rose abruptly out of the ground and there was plenty of gra.s.s that was dozens of feet tall on the ground. For a moment, the imposing palace was turned into a primeval forest.
“No!” With quite a discerning eye, all the people present exclaimed in shock as they saw that the Green Pith Leaf was hurt.
Of course, it was not a good thing!
The Green Pith Leaf was one of the three fairy weapons of the Divine Wind Palace. Although it was not used for suppressing fate, it was one of the trump cards that the Divine Wind Palace had to frighten the Seven-deity Regions. However now, this fairy weapon suffered a huge loss and its pneuma was greatly undermined in the face of Zhou Bao, which was entirely out of everyone’s expectation.
Looking at Zhou Bao then; although he was bleeding heavily from his face and his spirit was disordered, he still wore a strange smile, from which anyone was able to see his irrepressible surprise, as if he had discovered some precious treasures.
“Could it be that he had a moment of enlightenment?”
Enlightenment meant insight. Most of the time, due to many lucky chances, a pract.i.tioner may, in a very short time, comprehend some of the mysteries of the Dharma of the Way of Heaven. And by comprehending them, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds. Had Zhou Bao just gained an insight into something while he was under the pressure of the Green Pith Leaf?
Just as everyone was filled with astonishment, they saw Zhou Bao take a step forward suddenly and then, a black-red storm encircled him. Wherever the storm went, the life there would be eliminated.
“Everything is born to feed living creatures, but living creatures has contributed nothing in return. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!”
Each of his words penetrated everyone’s heart and cracked their minds. Just like seven terrible magic spells, these seven “kill” words lingered in their ears. Even those who were at the peak of the Venerable Realm would fly into a rage the moment they heard these words.
However, what made them more terrified has yet to come. After Zhou Bao had recited a Seven-kill Song that was quite similar to a poem, everyone saw that surrounding him, the black-red Sword Qi rotate violently. It gathered around him and kept surging. In a few seconds, a 30-foot tall Natal Sword took shape over his head. Encircling him, the black-red Sword Qi became an integrated whole and then turned into colorless sword light. The murderous intent there raged for a moment. Formed by the pneuma gus.h.i.+ng out of the Green Pith Leaf, the primeval forest withered quickly due to the killing intent. The greenery here all turned into dead twigs and withered leaves, without a trace of vitality.
Soon after, the sword light died out and the 30-foot tall Natal Sword was condensed into a one-foot little sword, which was much more compact and reserved than the earlier one. But at the same time, it was more dazzling. It was now rotating vigorously above Zhou Bao’s head.
“D*mn it!” Zhou Bao swore in a low voice. Ungracefully, he directly wiped his face on his sleeve and wiped up all the blood that had oozed from his mouth and nose. Then, he raised his hand and pointed at the void, saying, “That d*mn woman, would you dare to come out and fight with me—the king, for three hundred rounds?”
