Chapter 813: Understanding the Sword Path

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The energy lines between the rock pillars were interrupted by the energy swords. They were blocked by the almost 60,000 energy swords as soon as they appeared. It was a grand sight.

This was, perhaps, the highest number of swords Yu Shangrong could control now. He was at his limits.

Although it was a majestic sight, the Formation remained unaffected.

Yu Shangrong was puzzled. “It’s not working?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the energy lines between the 361 rock pillars disappeared. At the same time, the Formation veins on the rock slab in the center had not completely lit up when they dimmed again.

The rock pillars in the surroundings vibrated slightly. The Formation veins inscribed on it seemed like an ancient layer of dust that was being blown away; they peeled away and scattered.

‘They’re broken!’ Yu Shangrong nodded, pleased. A sense of achievement he rarely felt welled up in his heart.

He managed to overcome the Grand Formation left behind by the predecessors, and he understood the son of heaven’s swords and how to use all creations as swords. A broken sword would not hinder him.

The joy he felt and the scene of him severing his lotus in the Melilot Graveyard replayed in his mind. His sword was still with him, and he was still alive. This was the day when the broken sword was reforged, and the day the Sword Devil returned.

At this moment, his avatar dispersed. He immediately felt a sense of vertigo…

Swoosh!

Yu Shangrong was shocked to discover he had completely emptied his sea of Qi.

“Ji Liang!”

Boom!

“…”

‘I must remain graceful and calm. The Sword Devil can’t be flustered.’

Cultivators had gone through the Body Tempering realm. Therefore, a fall from such a height would not injure him. The only thing that would be injured was, perhaps, his reputation.

Ji Liang looked up before it put his head down again.

Yu Shangrong surveyed his surroundings again before he calmed himself down and sat with his legs crossed. He patted the dust off his body and tidied his hair. Then, he smiled at the moon and asked. “Ji Liang, what do you think of the broken Formation?”

Clap! Clap! Clap!

“That was great!” A dark figure appeared from behind.

The moon illuminated the figure’s face.

Yu Shangrong turned to look. “Jiang Xiaosheng?”

“I’ve been watching you all this time, trying to make sure you die. I didn’t expect you to be capable of breaking this Formation,” Jiang Xiaosheng said.

Yu Shangrong shook his head and said, “This is only a minor Formation; it’s nothing.”

“You can drop the act… Look at the state you’re in. I’ll take your life today and avenge my master. Any last words?” Jiang Xiaosheng asked.

“You?” Yu Shangrong looked at the Longevity Sword. Unfortunately, the Longevity Swords was broken and out of power. The runes had faded as well. He could not kill a Nascent Divinity cultivator like he did before.

“Yes, me,” Jiang Xiaosheng said meaningfully, “Trust me…”

Yu Shangrong frowned slightly upon sensing the unknown implications behind Jiang Xiaosheng’s words.

Jiang Xiaosheng raised his hand. “If you have no last words, then, die!” He pushed his palm forward, launching a palm seal out.

Yu Shangrong instinctively stomped his feet, but he did not fly. He could only dodge.

The palm seal struck the rock pillar with a loud boom.

Jiang Xiaosheng shook his head. “I won’t give you a chance to recuperate. Some people die because they speak too much…” After he finished speaking, he struck with both palms.

Several palm seals shot toward Yu Shangrong.

With his Body Tempering’s strength and instincts honed from many years of battle, Yu Shangrong dodged. At the same time, his Primal Qi was being swiftly replenished. Unfortunately, due to his current state, the amount of Primal Qi was pitiful. All he needed was enough Primal Qi for one palm strike. Despite the precarious situation he was in, he remained calm.

Jiang Xiaosheng had seen Yu Shangrong’s skill. Therefore, he did not hesitate and manifested his avatar.

A Five-leaf red lotus avatar lunged at Yu Shangrong.

“Five-leaf?” Yu Shangrong did not expect Ye Zhen’s disciple to be a grand cultivator now. If Jiang Xiaosheng was below the Five-leaf stage, he could have killed him with a single strike. However, it was not so easy to take down a Five-leaf cultivator.

Jiang Xiaosheng’s combat strength was inspired by Ye Zhen. He had quickly manifested his avatar so he could end the battle in his most powerful state.

Swoosh!

As Jiang Xiaosheng swept out with his avatar, Yu Shangrong retreated swiftly.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

At this moment, Ji Liang shot past the red lotus avatar and stomped its hooves. Every strike of its hooves struck the red lotus avatar.

Jiang Xiaosheng retreated with his avatar. He looked up and cursed, “You livestock! I’ll kill him first and tame you!” He could tell that Ji Liang was almost out of energy so he ignored Ji Liang and continued moving toward Yu Shangrong.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

After the rock forest’s Formation was destroyed, it was reduced to useless rocks.

The red lotus avatars struck down more than 10 rock pillars.

At the same time, Jiang Xiaosheng raised his hand and struck!

With whatever Primal Qi he had left, Yu Shangrong moved and leaped backward for dozens of meters with movements as light as a swallow.

Jiang Xiaosheng frowned. The difference between their battle experience was clear.

Yu Shangrong stood in the wind. The moonlight made him look taller and more slender. He smiled and said, “Little friend, believe me. Your ability is far from enough to kill me.”

“I’ll give it a try!” Jiang Xiaosheng unleashed his grand technique and shot forward.

This was the technique Yu Shangrong wished to see the least. It would close the distance between them after all.

Just when Jiang Xiaosheng’s red lotus avatar was almost upon Yu Shangrong, a voice laden with ridicule rang from above.

“Hey.”

Then, an energy saber dropped down as golden light lit up the sky.

The Great Dark Heaven Memorial, the Dark Heaven Starlight, Sovereign Descent, Graceful Glance, and Three Feet Freeze… The ultimate moves were unleashed one after another.

The Five-leaf red lotus avatar was first struck open by Dark Heaven Starlight, and then, it was further damaged by Sovereign Descent before it was frozen by Three Feet Freeze. In the end, its neck was cut by Graceful Glance.

Bam!

The Jasper Saber stabbed into the ground under the moon.

Yu Zhenghai landed. He said in a slightly arrogant tone, “What do you think?”

Yu Shangrong made a sound of disapproval before he said, “He’s only a Five-leaf cultivator, but you had to use four techniques on him.”

“No.” Yu Zhenghai shook his head. “A few days ago, I learned much from master. Master’s words have made me think.”

“Oh?”

“Is a Five-leaf cultivator weak? No. He might just be as capable as you. Perhaps, just like how a Three-leaf cultivator can kill a Six-leaf cultivator, a five-leaf cultivator might just be able to kill an Eight-leaf cultivator,” Yu Zhenghai said confidently, “Don’t underestimate your opponents, not even if they’re Five-leaf cultivators.”

“Did master really say that?” Yu Shangrong asked skeptically.

“In the end, it all boils down to one thing…” Yu Zhenghai looked at Yu Shangrong. “Remember to deal an additional blow.”

“…”

Neigh! Neigh! Neigh!

Ji Liang galloped over.

Yu Shangrong was in a good mood; he did not want to quarrel with Yu Zhenghai right now. He patted Ji Liang and said, “You have a point, Eldest Senior Brother. I won’t argue with you today… Master has said there are three levels of the sword. If all you do is try to win a fight, you’ll only be at the second level. Now, I’ve mastered the son of heaven’s sword, which is also the swordless path. I have no intentions of competing anymore.”

When Yu Zhenghai heard that, he asked, “Is that true?”

“We can compete again when you master using all creations as sabers, Eldest Senior Brother.”

“Alright.”

Yu Shangrong turned to look at Jiang Xiaosheng’s corpse. He returned to the rock forest and picked up his broken sword.

“How did you know that I was here, Eldest Senior Brother?”

“Master was worried about your safety and ordered me to look for you,” Yu Zhenghai said with a smile, “You don’t seem to be in the best of conditions so I won’t make fun of you. We’ll call it even.”

Yu Shangrong shook his head and said, “Even if you didn’t make a move, he wouldn’t have been able to hurt me.”

“What happened to not competing?”

“That’s a different matter. I can take a step back in fights but not in matters of reason.” Yu Shangrong leaped onto Ji Liang and rose into the air after he finished speaking.

Yu Zhenghai, naturally, disagreed with Yu Shangrong’s words. He followed Yu Shangrong up into the sky as he asked, “You’re out of Primal Qi, how were you going to kill him?”

“I have my methods. You don’t have to worry about that, senior brother…”

“I don’t think you have any methods to deal with him.”

“…”

The two of them continued to bicker and soon vanished into the horizon.

After the duo from the Evil Sky Pavilion left, under the moonlight, Jiang Xiaosheng suddenly opened his eyes. His forehead was wet with sweat as he panted heavily. He looked at the blood on his chest and felt flames of fury rise in his heart. “I will have my revenge someday. How dare you kill me!”

After Jiang Xiaosheng rose to his feet with great difficulty, his eyes gleamed with determination as he muttered under his breath, “I must retrieve my master’s Violet Glazed Ceramic.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he dragged his battered body toward the forest.
