Chapter 2155: Radiance Of A Sword
“What crime did I commit?” Su Mo smirked as he lifted his chest and countered Sword Saint Tianxin.
“Your crime is robbing the ten nearby cities. You killed close to two thousand experts of Mo Kong City and Viper Snake City. These are two crimes. How dare you believe that you are still honorable?” Sword Saint Tianxin accused.
“Those are crimes indeed. However, they are only crimes in your opinion.” Su Mo shrugged his shoulders.
He was displeased in his heart. Second Mountain was filled with chaos, killing, robbing and wars were completely normal. This was a place where the strong consumed the weak.
Even the people in power on Second Mountain ignored the chaos in the area, but Sword Saint Tianxin was being a busybody.
Granted, Su Mo knew that Sword Saint Tianxin must have received some benefits from the experts in the nearby area who had invited him to kill Su Mo.
“Stubborn fool. I must kill you today to answer to all the souls!” A cold flash pa.s.sed through Sword Saint Tianxin’s eyes as his voice deepened.
He actually did not think that Su Mo had committed a grave crime. However, he wanted to kill Su Mo because the rumors about Demon Shadow were too exaggerated.
Demon Shadow was rumored to be exceptional. As a King Sage, he was able to kill a Rank 2 Empty G.o.d as easy as cutting vegetables and fruits.
Many guessed that Demon Shadow had the combat strength of a Rank 3 or even a Rank 4 Empty G.o.d.
Sword Saint Tianxin could only scoff inwardly. How could a King Sage have such exceptional strength?
Furthermore, the leaders of the nearby cities had sought him to kill Su Mo by offering a large sum of Dawn Stones.
He had agreed to their request immediately because of the Dawn Stones and to disprove the rumors about Demon Shadow.
“I heard that you are a Sword Saint, I would like to test you out!”
Su Mo fearlessly challenged. Although his combat strength had yet to reach its peak, he had the confidence to ensure that he would remain safe.
However, the battle between the two would be earthshaking. After the battle, he had to leave Silver Ice City instantly, not delaying for even a minute.
With that, Su Mo shot into the air like a sharp arrow.
Shoos.h.!.+
Without hesitation, Sword Saint Tianxin zipped through the sky and followed Su Mo into the skies.
A few moments later, the two were a few kilometers above the ground before they finally stopped and floated in the air opposite each other.
Below them, many Silver Ice City men watched them closely. Even the men of nearby cities stared at the two intensely.
About five to six other experts who hid in the dense forest outside Silver Ice City s.h.i.+fted their focus onto the incoming battle.
“This time, Sword Saint Tianxin will definitely be able to kill Demon Shadow!”
“That’s right, we used so many Dawn Stones to invite Sword Saint Tianxin to attack him personally. He must not let us down!”
“Let us observe the fight!”
Many people discussed among themselves quietly. They were the powerful people of the nearby cities who were the driving forces behind Sword Saint Tianxin.
They were fully confident in Sword Saint Tianxin because he had already become one of the Ten Great Saints in G.o.d’s Path.
Aside from the Ten Great Holy Sages, there was also the talented Ten Great Saints.
Every one of these Ten Great Saints was a G.o.dly genius who was known to be unrivalled in their ranks.
Sword Saint Tianxin had defeated the tenth-ranked of the Ten Great Saints and replaced him to become one among the Ten Great Saints half a month ago.
This news had yet to spread through the area but it would only take a few days before the whole Second Mountain came to know of his achievement.
As one of the Ten Great Saints, Sword Saint Tianxin would only need to use 30% of his strength to defeat Su Mo.
“It is Su Mo indeed!”
At a corner of a mountain on the other side of Silver Ice City, a middle-aged man hid behind a large stone and exclaimed.
“You are in Silver Ice City!” The eyes of the middle-aged man narrowed. He had been roped in by the Sky Tyrant Tribe to investigate Su Mo’s whereabouts on Second Mountain.
Li Hong had demanded to see Su Mo or his corpse if he was dead. Li Hong wasn’t sure whether Su Mo had been killed by him in their previous exchange.
He had searched for ten days through half of Second Mountain before he had finally reached Silver Ice City.
The reason why he had come to Silver Ice City was because of the rumors about Demon Shadow. He had guessed that Su Mo might be Demon Shadow.
In the past few days, Silver Ice City had remained closed and he was unable to enter the city, so he was just pondering over how he would infiltrate the city to continue his investigation when Sword Saint Tianxin had arrived and lured Su Mo out.
“Hopefully he will be killed by Sword Saint Tianxin. This will settle the matter once and for all!” The middle-aged man smirked. If Su Mo was killed, he would not have to arrange for someone to kill Su Mo.
However, he didn’t think that Su Mo would definitely be killed by Sword Saint Tianxin.
After all, even Li Hong was unable to kill Su Mo. It seemed that it would be hard for Sword Saint Tianxin to kill Su Mo.
Up in the air, Su Mo and Sword Saint Tianxin stood menacingly opposite each other. Purple light flashed as the Purple Virtual Sword appeared in his hands, reflecting off a sharp light.
“Interesting. You are actually a swordsman as well!” The edges of Sword Saint Tianxin’s lips curled as he saw the sword that Su Mo withdrew.
In front of him, any swordsman who wasn’t a Rank 4 Empty G.o.d would be showing off in front of him, the expert.
“What? Are you the only one who can use the sword?” Su Mo laughed lightly as he slowly raised the purple sword in his arm.
“Today I will teach you what the sword way actually is.” Sword Saint Tianxin smirked and a bright silver longsword appeared in his hand.
“How are you going to compare your sword with mine?” Su Mo’s eyes narrowed. He was interested in seeing how exceptional the Sword Saint was.
Su Mo admitted that his swordsmans.h.i.+p wasn’t incredible, his foundation with the sword was mediocre.
He only used the sword because it was convenient. Even if he changed to a sabre or a spear, his combat strength would not decrease significantly.
“Compare swordsmans.h.i.+p? That is fine. If you can take three of my Radiance of Sword with our cultivation rank at the same level, I will spare your life!” Sword Saint Tianxin challenged.
He had had no intention of sparring with the sword before. However, since Su Mo had suggested it, he was fine with the idea.
His swordsmans.h.i.+p exceeded human capabilities.
“Then attack me!” Su Mo lightly said, his eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g brightly.
“Take my first sword!”
Sword Saint Tianxin expressionlessly raised the silver longsword slowly upwards before a dense aura surged out of his body.
This strength was terrifying and an invincible Sword Force swept through the sky ferociously.
It was as if Sword Saint Tianxin himself had turned into a holy sword that was slowly awakening from a slumber.
“Slice!”
With a loud yell, the empty s.p.a.ce split open as a terrifying Radiance of Sword gushed out like a tsunami of the ocean.
Invisible Radiance of Sword tore the sky open as it headed for Su Mo.
This Radiance of Sword was enhanced by a Sword Ultimacy and a Sword Fighting Soul, giving it a mysterious vibe.
Although it did not have the supplementary force of Dark Force, the strength of the sword far exceeded what a Rank 1 Empty G.o.d could achieve and it was even close to the strength of a Rank 2 Empty G.o.d.
“Incredible!” As the force of the sword strike met him, Su Mo exclaimed in surprise. The sword strike was not weak at all.
Without the use of his Dark Force, the combat strength of the sword strike was already terrifying.
Su Mo did not hesitate and he attacked just as the invisible Radiance of Sword swept towards him.
He did not use Chaotic Energy. Since Sword Saint Tianxin wanted to spar with swords, he would abide by the rules. After all, his Sacred Elixir was not fully healed anyway.
Strong Sword Force rushed up Su Mo’s body as he activated the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Fighting Soul and several dozen other Sword Fighting Souls.
Powerful Sword Fighting Soul strength morphed into a broad Sword Force that tore through the firmament and pierced the empty sky.
“Destroy!”
With all his might, Su Mo channelled the strength of the Sword Fighting Souls into the Purple Virtual Sword as he struck downwards.
Shoos.h.!.+
Invisible radiance tore everything in its path apart as it sped towards Sword Saint Tianxin’s attack, instantly striking it.
Boom!
A loud explosion shook the skies and the empty s.p.a.ce crumbled apart immediately. However, there were no shockwaves from the collision.
The two streaks of Sword Radiance crumbled together.
“How could that be?”
Sword Saint Tianxin’s face instantly fell at the sight as he questioned himself inwardly.
He was not surprised that Su Mo was strong but he was surprised that Su Mo’s sword strike was completely different from his.
He could feel that there was no Sword Ultimacy strength behind Su Mo’s attack but it was only supported by a pure Sword Fighting Soul strength.
How could a pure Sword Fighting Soul strength be so strong? How could that be?
This made Sword Saint Tianxin be completely taken aback. What Fighting Soul could be so strong?
