NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 370 - 370: 370, [Who can withstand this sword?]
Chapter 370: 370, [Who can withstand this sword?]
At the rear mountain of the Demon Sect, in a small bamboo grove.
It’s midday now, and everyone on the back mountain is eating lunch in the bamboo grove.
Suddenly, the wooden hairpin amidst the second girl’s black hair trembled. Immediately afterward, Ji Li’s short sword, the Wind Stabilizing Wave, which was laid horizontally on her thigh, partially unsheathed, emitting a series of sword hums.
Ji Li looked down at the Wind Stabilizing Wave suspiciously. Because of some obstructions, she could only see half of the sword.
“What is going on?” She asked blankly.
Gu Xiaoman and Zhuge Lai Fu simultaneously looked towards the direction of Hidden Mountain but said nothing.
Even Lin Chan was looking in that direction.
Although her Partridge Sky didn’t show any reaction, as a born Natural Sword Embryo, she was extremely sensitive to swords.
She could sense the Sword Qi is Near releasing the sword hum and then breaking through the restrictions, heading south all the way.
On the contrary, Mao Nanbei, whose cultivation base had slid down, could sense something with her divine sense, but her sensing was not comprehensive.
Third senior brother Zhuge Lai Fu turned around and looked at the teacher, asking, “Teacher, the Sword Qi is Near, it…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the teacher wave his hand and say, “Let it be.”
The teacher picked up the chopsticks, staring at the dishes which looked all over the place and had a slightly pungent smell in front of him, suddenly missing Little Five.
Alas, some people, when they’re around you, you feel bothered, but once they disappear, you’ll feel out of sorts.
The dishes made by the third one were really hard to eat.
…
…
Within the grand hall of the Demon Sect’s main peak.
The sudden breaking of the seal by the Sword Qi is Near has naturally attracted the attention of Shen Yan and others.
After all, it is the sword of their master, and this sword is exceptional and very strong.
Whether it is Shen Yan or any other Peak Master, none of them believe they can match the Sword Qi is Near.
Such an incredibly strong sword suddenly flying down the mountain, if anything were to occur, it would certainly be a major event.
Everyone looks at each other and then all look towards the direction of the back mountain.
After a while, until the Sword Qi is Near had flown far away, Shen Yan opened his mouth and said, “Why don’t… we disperse?”
Since the teacher didn’t stop it, there was no need for them to do anything.
What’s more, with their power, even if they wanted to stop it, they wouldn’t be able to!
Before everyone returned to their peaks, Yue Heshan muttered to himself, “The Sword Qi is Near of the master has always been quite well-behaved on Hidden Mountain. I wonder what caused it to break the seal this time.”
Luo Wanqiu looked at him and said, “The Sword Qi is Near was heading to the south, right?”
“Yes, is there any questioning… Huh, isn’t the little junior brother in the Southern Territory?” Yue Heshan finally responded.
Everyone glances at each other, their intuition telling them that this matter was most likely related to the little junior brother.
“Why does the little junior brother always cause some disturbance every time he descends the mountain, and the disturbance gets bigger each time.” Luo Wanqiu complained with a smile on her face.
Sima Chuan stroked his goat beard and said, “Whether it was the little junior brother who caused the disturbance is not yet certain. All I know is that the Sword Qi is Near suddenly heading south may frighten many people.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Just imagine, if within your sect’s territory, a sword with a domineering aura, terrifying strength, and capable of completely wiping out your entire sect suddenly flies over, would you be scared?
It would be like sitting on your own rooftop, sipping tea, when a nuclear bomb suddenly whizzed over your head; wouldn’t you panic?
The most awkward part is that although the Sword Qi is Near belongs to the Demon Sect and is considered Demon Sect’s property, by the time Shen Yan and the others try to notify the other sects of this sudden occurrence, it will be too late.
Even if they were to utilise flying swords to convey a message now, telling people “Don’t be scared, it’s just passing through, it only looks intimidating, it won’t harm you”, it would be pointless.
What good would flying swords do in delivering the message now! Are the flying swords used for messaging faster than the Sword Qi is Near?
Even Shen Yan himself can’t fly as fast as the sword…
Looking exceptionally grim, Gongshu Pan, who was very particular about rules to a certain extent, said solemnly, “Sect Master, we still must send the message out by the flying sword. At least we have to show the attitude of our Demon Sect.”
“Too right, too right.” Shen Yan started to act accordingly.
Notifying after the incident is still notifying, right!
As for the mood they will be in when they receive the letter by the flying sword after being scared out of their wits, who cares?
It doesn’t matter to me.
I was just scared too, alright?
It’s better to scare people together.
After so many years that the master has been in seclusion, many people have forgotten about the teacher’s existence, gradually losing their awe of the world’s first Sword Cultivator.
Now it was the perfect time to let them know, even if their master is in death-closing-mode, his accompanying sword alone should scare them half to death.
It’s time to remind them of the fear they once lived under the control of Yan Li!
A villainous grin appeared on the faces of the men from the Demon Sect: “He he he!”
…
…
The situation unfolded exactly as Shen Yan and his company had anticipated.
When “The Sword Qi is Near” flew across the Eastern Region, it gave a jolt to the natives. The moment it left the Eastern Region and the territory of the Demon Sect, chaos erupted.
Regardless of where it went, the strongest of every sect would cautiously fly halfway into the sky.
They dared not approach, yet also dared not relax their vigilance.
The imposing aura was terrifying; surely not even the combined full force of the seven great sect masters could match this?
What realm of power does this compare to?
The eighth realm?
Or the legendary ninth realm?
At the same time, the forum of “Heavenly Dust” also blew up!
Countless posts flooded the forum in an instant, with “The Sword Qi is Near”, “Demon Sect”, “Yan Li” and other terms topping the hot list.
After all, this sword is too famous; many great cultivators recognized it at a glance.
And since it started from the Demon Sect, the players from the Demon Sect were the first to get the news. Given how big a commotion it made, the elders and deacons of the Demon Sect must have to explain to their disciples, to prevent unnecessary panic.
Since the arrival of players, the Heavenly Dust Continent has embraced the era of mass information. Even the slightest matter, if stirred up in the forum, would spread far and wide in an instant.
Now that “The Sword Qi is Near” is heading south, the players from Boundless Mountain in the north of the continent are also aware that this heaven-defying Sword of the Ages has broken its seal!
The forum was buzzing with discussions, and the attention of most players was drawn to this sudden event.
“Damn! The ‘Sword Qi is Near’ just passed our sect. That aura was too terrifying; it made me breathless. I took a look at my female master, and she was so frightened that she was panting!”
“Shocking! The toe-picker upstairs actually has a female master? I’m a sword cultivator in West State, and I really would like to witness the grace of the ‘Sword Qi is Near’!”
“Speaking of…Will this sword suddenly descend, and be granted to the destined one?”
“What the hell are you thinking about upstairs? Wake up, ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ is mine!”
Among a heap of messy posts, one suddenly attracted a lot of attention.
“Our Sect Master and all the peak masters have set out.” This was a post by a player from Qingtian Sect.
Because at this moment, the extremely fast “Sword Qi is Nea”r had already flown to the Southern Territory.
As the Qingtian Sect stands guard over the Southern Territory, they naturally had to assess the situation. They couldn’t just ignore it.
Sect Master Mo Yixi of Qingtian Sect, who was the half-brother of Mo Yurou, was now leading all the peak masters, except for Mo Yurou, to fly into the sky.
He was a notorious sister-obsessive. In the Southern Territory battlefield of his previous life, when Mo Yurou died, Mo Yixi went on a killing spree for several months, his eyes red from slaying the foreign races.
At this moment, the sound of breaking through the air and the whistling of the sword came in quick succession.
Together with this was that irresistible, strong oppressive force!
Yan Li has been in his death-closing-mode for too long, so long that many had somewhat forgotten about this sword.
But today, the older and more senior cultivators were recalling the past.
——That was the era when they were beaten up.
The title of Yan Li as “The World’s First Sword Cultivator” didn’t come from nowhere. He had fought his way with “The Sword Qi is Near”.
Mo Yixi was flying in the air, maintaining a distance of more than ten feet from the “Sword Qi is Near”.
A wild, black air current was emanating from around the “Sword Qi is Near”. This was giving off a warning:
——Don’t mess with me!
It is quite urgent.
Nothing and no one could deter its progress.
Watching the “Sword Qi is Near” go further away, Mo Yixi couldn’t help but frown.
“Where is it going? What is it trying to do?”
More accurately, at this moment the numerous cultivators and players in the entire Heavenly Dust Continent were pondering this question.
