Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Sword Flying in the Sky

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

When that sword light dissipated, a ball of sword mist seemed to cover Hu Qianqiu under the night sky. Zong Shou’s entire body seemed to turn into a mist, moving along with the sword, hard to discern whether it was real or fake. All of a sudden there seemed to be more then ten Zong Shou’s in their view, no one knew where his true body was at.

The sword energy warped and weaved like clouds and mist, moving left and right between the saber images. This time that Tiger King Saber was unable to hit them back in one strike. Instead it was unusually lingering and exceptionally gentle.

That sword stance was so soft it seemed to hold no strength at all, but it was filled with hidden power which clashed with the Tiger King Saber, slowly but surely swallowing the space between the two of them.

In a short twenty-odd stroke encounter, Hu Qianqiu’s seven-foot saber had less and less space to move.

Pretty much every sword that stabbed out hit the crucial point of the astral air around Hu Qianqiu, making the energy chaotic. Every point that the sword pointed to was one he had to save and use his saber to block. The Tiger King Saber was trapped around Hu Qianqiu’s body and he was unable to use it.

Hu Qianqiu could only feel like he could use less and less energy. After he ninety percent of his own strength was restricted, he still had around a hundred kilograms of power. However, even if he still had many times the strength of Zong Shou, there was no way he could use it. His overbearing tiger strength was being stabbed, cut, and pierced, breaking into pieces.

He didn’t feel depressed, but instead really excited, his blood slowly starting to boil. Originally he was just trying to test out Zong Shou’s ability, now he couldn’t help but be filled with fighting spirit.

“Is this Xie Jun’s Mist Sword? No, that fellow isn’t as good as you. I know, this is Lingyun Sect’s Cloud Shocking God Destroying Sword! Where did you learn this Lingyun Sect secret art from? It’s so deep! Did I see wrongly? Is this your true ability? From sword rhythm to sword strength to displaying the true sword intent…”

When Hu Qianqiu said that, Hu Zhongyuan, who was sitting on the carriage, felt his heart start palpitating, his eyes shining brightly.

Lingyun Sect’s Cloud Shocking God Destroying sword was one of the legendary techniques in Donglin Cloud Continent. They said that when one cultivated it, they would be able to reach nine meridians of the Heaven Chakra Realm, the spiritual Grandmaster level.

In ancient times, even Celestial Realm experts had been hurt by that sword before.

There were only three to five direct disciples in Lingyun Sect that succeeded in cultivating it. In the entire Sect, there were less than ten people.

However that sentence was not as shocking as what came after.

From sword rhythm to sword strength to displaying the true sword intent… doesn’t that mean that Zong Shou has comprehended the intent of the Cloud Shocking God Destroying sword, and he had reached a really high level?

Zong Ling’s face was ashen white and green, feeling that Hu Qianqiu’s voice was really ear-piercing. The two illusionary shadows in front of him pierced his eyes, but he couldn’t shift his gaze away.

The light that exploded out from this half-Monster teen was just too eye-catching, so much that it was hard to accept!

“Good sword! What future ascended, what top talent outside of the Donglin Cloud Continent top sects, that Zong Shi is scum compared to you! No, he isn’t even qualified to be scum! An outsider actually daring to try to plot for the Ruler’s hard work, what does he think he is…”

Hu Qianqiu burst out laughing, the saber in his hand seemed to be wrapped up by a dozen iron chains, becoming more and more cumbersome and slower.

But the more so, the happier he felt. He felt that his entire life added up wasn’t as happy as this moment.

His best friend’s son, who everyone viewed as trash, was actually a top sword expert with hidden skill.

The uncertain and unstable Gantian Mountain had a chance to rise up once more, how could he not feel happy about that?

“… that Zong Shi needs to be at least fifty before he can reach the Ascended Realm. I think Young Master can do it by thirty! As expected from the son of the Ruler! However, although your sword is One with the Spirit, today I am going to get serious! Tiger roar, chop!”

His saber that seemed to have been slowing down and was getting tied up, suddenly exploded out under what seemed to be a really impossible situation.

A sharp saber glow wrapped out in all directions, cutting all the illusionary sword shadows into pieces.

Like a tiger that was sleeping allowing a spider to make its web next to it. When it woke up, it causally clawed and destroyed the web, with ease and without using any energy. The overbearing power was apparent!

However just as that saber glow exploded to the maximum and was about to dissipate the last bit of mist, a sword pierced in from behind Hu Qianqiu. Without any sign or sound, it was almost indiscernible, suddenly pushed to the maximum! Like a part of the moonlight, all the killing intent and energy was hidden within.

Hu Qianqiu didn’t feel anything, only when that sword light was three inches away from him did his eyes open wide in astonishment. The saber glow swiftly turned back, but he was only able to use his saber handle to block the cold gleam of the sword tip.

A huge strength exploded out. Hu Qianqiu was caught off guard and unable to use much strength to block it. His body was pushed forward several inches.

The two of them had fought for close to fifteen minutes, but this was the first time that Hu Qianqiu’s body moved. The glow in his eyes, apart from a little fear, was only excited.

“What a Rising Moon Sword! How exquisite, I nearly died under your sword! If you used it to assassinate no one can block it. If it was that dumb brat Zhongyuan, this sword would most likely have killed him!”

Zhongyuan was speechless; he was close to forty so how could his father still call him a little brat…

However if it was him, his life and death under that sword would be tough to predict, a toss of a coin…

This Prince who had never revealed any of his ability was actually shockingly strong!

He also felt ashamed, glancing at Zong Ling who was seated not far away with a weird gaze. If it wasn’t for him, he wouldn’t have made a fool of himself just now…

His father’s words weren’t wrong. That Zong Shi might seem like a huge talent in the eyes of others, but compared to this Prince he was nothing.

After stabbing out with that sword, Zong Shou also recoiled several hundred feet. The energy within his body exploded and his true qi surged. He had to take several breaths and adjust his energy before barely being able to suppress it.

-How strong, how really strong! If this Hu Qianqiu went all out, even hundreds and thousands of Zong Shous would be slain by his saber…-

At this moment, even when he had restricted ninety percent of Uncle Hu’s strength, he still was still suppressed; Not only was his strength great, but Uncle Hu was also really deep in the martial path.

However, the better he was, the more Zong Shou’s fighting spirit raised! His sword got stronger the stronger the person he faced. Sword Emperor Tanqiu didn’t like to bully the weak, only experts of the martial path like this made him interested.

Hu Qianqiu praised him before sheathing the saber at his side in satisfaction, “Prince’s Dual Meridian Body isn’t totally solved. You have probably used up all your strength. Let’s end it here, how about it?”

He thought that this battle could end just like that. Who knew that Zong Shou would shake his head, “No, I still haven’t had enough?”

“Haven’t had enough? Your body must be feeling really painful, like all the bones in your body are tearing up and cracking, and you still want to fight?”

Hu Qianqiu was shocked, the praise in his eyes grew. He asked with interest, “So that sword technique wasn’t your true skill?”

“Uncle Hu, please give me pointers! As for what exactly is my sword, you will know after this fight.”

Zong Shou took in a deep breath once more, his expression surprisingly solemn. The hand that was holding the sword dropped down to his side.

So what if he was facing a bone-tearing and cracking pain? Even if he was being stabbed by a thousand knives ,he wouldn’t care.

A good opponent was hard to ask for; even if he died from this, he was going to have fun! This was the heart of a sword expert!

Hu Qianqiu’s expression also became solemn, his intuition telling him that the current Zong Shou was different from before. An aura that made one respect him seeped out from Zong Shou, and it could actually compete with his own…

After being silent for numerous breaths, Zong Shou laughed. “Xue’er, watch carefully! I will probably be able to use this sword today. If you miss this chance, you will need to wait until I reach four meridians of the Earth Chakra Realm to see it again…”

Chuxue was surprised; what kind of sword technique could only be used today, did he specifically choose a date?

She didn’t dare not listen to his words, opening wide her watery eyes and not even daring to blink.

In the next moment the glow in Zong Shou’s eyes exploded out as he charged thirty feet, waving the sword in his hand.

“Someone who is good at attacking can shake the heavens!”

Hearing Zong Shou’s shout, Chuxue’s pupils grew even bigger.

This sword was really spiritual with no trace at all, dazzling and eye catching, giving one a feeling like it flew over from the heavens!

Ten miles away, Li Yunniang’s expression was panicking. She anxiously shook her head, “Little Miss, I don’t know what you are saying. When did I hide things from you?”

“You still want to lie!” Xuanyuan Yiren’s eyes were filled with disappointment, “You said you were worried about me butting into Gantian Mountain’s things, but that Hu Qianqiu has the ability to destroy mountains, I couldn’t interfere even if I wanted. What thing don’t you want me to see?”

Seeing Li Yunniang calm down and not answer, she slightly shook her head, directly walking forwards, lazy to ask once more. What was going on? She just needed to take a look and she didn’t need to waste time here.

Li Yunniang frantically stabbed out with a sword to try to block her path. However in the next moment her expression changed, only to see Xuanyuan Yiren not dodge and avoid, her body heading towards the sword tip.

She couldn’t help but be shocked, pulling back her sword, and that red blur moved past her.

This place was really close to the carriage. The small hill beside it was just three hundred feet high. Xuanyuan Yiren was able to reach the top with just one jump, everything below entering her line of sight.
