Chapter 2240: Chapter 2238: Unstoppable Sword Qi

[Today’s first Chapter is delivered. There will be another Chapter around nine o’clock tonight, two Chapters today, seeking support from the Alliance Hierarch for rewards!]

Sword Sect!

The true swordsmanship Divine Skills it possesses is rarely seen, because after all, in the Northern State Territory, Sword Sect is not considered a particularly strong legacy, definitely not one of the top legacies. It’s just that ten years ago, the Sword Sect Three Sons appeared, each able to battle Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, Bai Wuji, and Dao Yu. After this, many martial artists, including other powerful legacies in the Northern State Territory, felt that perhaps Sword Sect’s legacy was indeed somewhat out of the ordinary, perhaps they had underestimated them too much in the past!

The Sword Sect’s Two Sons died, and the Third Son also died, all perished under the Cheng Ying Sword in Princess Zixuan’s hands, resulting in their complete obliteration. It can be said that Princess Zixuan relied on the Cheng Ying Sword in her hand, though it can’t be entirely attributed to the sword’s divine might, as it was not without Princess Zixuan’s own strength either. It was simply because of the Cheng Ying Sword and what Ye Tianchen said that boosted Princess Zixuan’s confidence, allowing her to unleash some potential strength even she was unaware of. Otherwise, these Sword Sect Brothers wouldn’t have perished so easily under Princess Zixuan’s sword!

After a fierce battle with Princess Zixuan, Sword Sect’s eldest son suddenly calmed down, as if telling a story, recounting the origin of their Sword Sect, which made Princess Zixuan feel a bit strange. Was this still a battle between two mortal enemies? Was this still a life-and-death struggle between martial artists?

However, when the Sword Sect’s eldest son activated a swordsmanship Divine Skill, transforming himself into Sword Qi, and the Divine Sword refined by an Ancient Saint in his hand vanished, a figure appeared sitting cross-legged behind him, Princess Zixuan became serious. She sensed an extraordinary aura emanating, so powerful that it shook her entire being!

"Is this the powerful swordsmanship Divine Skill of your Sword Sect?" Princess Zixuan asked coldly, looking at the Sword Sect’s eldest son.

"Yes, by becoming one with the sword, filling this world with Sword Qi, this is the swordsmanship Divine Skill of our Sword Sect!" The Sword Sect’s eldest son nodded and said.

"Is this the combined assault swordsmanship that your Sword Sect Three Sons used in the battle against the four Yu Jianzi?" Princess Zixuan contemplated for a moment before continuing to ask.

"It is and it isn’t, because now I’m the only one left, it’s not a combined assault swordsmanship anymore, but its power should still be enough to kill you. My second and third brothers were too careless, but perhaps that was their fate. Now I will kill you to avenge them!" The Sword Sect’s eldest son spoke lightly, without any emotional fluctuation, as if all this was as it should be. He should kill Princess Zixuan, as he possessed the strength to do so. When he displayed this swordsmanship Divine Skill, Princess Zixuan was bound to die!

Princess Zixuan looked at the Sword Sect’s eldest son without saying another word, glancing at the Cheng Ying Sword clutched in her right hand. This time, she truly felt uncertain. From the moment the Sword Sect Three Sons arrived, they forced her into desperate battles, relentless and increasingly fierce. At that time, she only thought about giving her all, not retreating. But now, as the Sword Sect’s eldest son suddenly slowed the pace of the slaughter, it made Princess Zixuan feel uncomfortable, even a bit perplexed. She didn’t know just how powerful this Sword Sect’s eldest son’s swordsmanship Divine Skill could be!

Swish!

The Sword Sect’s eldest son’s Sword Qi slashed down. This Sword Qi wasn’t overwhelmingly strong or violent, but it was coming towards Princess Zixuan at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this moment, Princess Zixuan certainly wouldn’t sit and wait to die. She gripped the Cheng Ying Sword and countered the incoming Sword Qi from the Sword Sect’s eldest son with her own strike!

However, when the Sword Qi of the Cheng Ying Sword struck the Sword Sect’s eldest son’s Sword Qi, it shattered completely, unable to withstand the slowly advancing Sword Qi of the Sword Sect’s eldest son. This left Princess Zixuan feeling utterly shocked!

"This..." Princess Zixuan froze, watching the Sword Qi coming to attack her, suddenly realizing that the Sword Sect’s swordsmanship Divine Skill was indeed somewhat eerie, even unfathomable!

At this moment, the surrounding martial artists who were watching were also stunned. Many didn’t expect that the Sword Sect’s eldest son would have such a powerful swordsmanship Divine Skill. It seems that the Sword Sect’s desire to rise in recent years is not beyond reach!

"The reason Sword Sect could establish a sect is just because they obtained a Divine Sword refined by an Ancient Era Half-step Saint. Does it really harbor such powerful swordsmanship Divine Skills?"

"The emergence of the Sword Sect Three Sons truly makes Sword Sect hard to fathom!"

"Two of the Sword Sect Three Sons are already dead, and yet the Sword Sect’s eldest son is unleashing such powerful Divine Skills, he is indeed very confident!"

"It cannot be denied that the Sword Sect Three Sons are quite formidable; it’s just that the Sword Sect’s Two Sons and Third Son were too careless and hence died under Princess Zixuan’s sword!"

"There’s one thing you might not have thought of..."

"What is it?"

"Although the Sword Sect is an unremarkable legacy, perhaps even in the Northern State Territory no one would notice it, this legacy is not simple at all, nor weak. Why? Since the Ancient Era, Sword Sect’s legacy has appeared in the Northern State of Barbaric Forbidden Lands. Despite not being very strong or gaining much attention from martial artists, in this brutal and bloody Martial Arts World, any legacy undergoes fierce battles, but the Sword Sect has managed to survive all this time. This is not a simple matter, there must be some kind of secret behind it..."

There were martial artists who mentioned this point, inevitably provoking deep thoughts in many people. The development of the martial arts world over billions of years has always been an extremely bloody and cruel world. In this world, killing never stops. It’s not just the small inheritances that can be destroyed at any time; even the most powerful inheritances have a day of destruction. To say that a small inheritance like Sword Sect survives because strong martial artists dismiss it and didn’t bother to destroy it—is that something anyone would truly believe?

"You won’t be able to block it. The swordsmanship divine skill of our Sword Sect, when this Sword Qi strikes down, it’s either the enemy dies, or I perish!" the eldest son of Sword Sect said calmly while looking at Princess Zi Xuan.

"What you mean is, the swordsmanship divine skill of your Sword Sect is executed at the cost of your own life, right?" Princess Zi Xuan thought for a moment and asked.

"Essence, Energy, Spirit, when combined, can unleash the swordsmanship divine skill of our Sword Sect. This is executed at the cost of Essence, Energy, Spirit!" the eldest son of Sword Sect stated with no reservations, for in his opinion, Princess Zi Xuan was as good as dead!

Swish!

Princess Zi Xuan once again swung the Cheng Ying Sword in her hand, directly unleashing a Sword Qi. However, the result was the same; she couldn’t block the Sword Qi unleashed by the eldest son of Sword Sect, and Cheng Ying Sword’s Sword Qi shattered!

Clang!

In a flash, as Princess Zi Xuan regained her composure, the Sword Qi unleashed by the eldest son of Sword Sect had already reached her. She was utterly unable to act in time, so she raised the Cheng Ying Sword in front of her as a defense. Yet, when the Sword Qi struck her Cheng Ying Sword, there was only a soft sound, like swords clashing. Princess Zi Xuan was sent flying, glancing at the Cheng Ying Sword in her right hand only to find her palm coated in blood, causing her to furrow her brows in shock!

"If it weren’t for holding this Ancient Divine Sword, you would have been slain by me already. But even so, it won’t be enough to stop me!" the eldest son of Sword Sect said calmly, looking at Princess Zi Xuan.

Swish!

Before Princess Zi Xuan could react, another Sword Qi slashed towards her, and in alarm, she instinctively attempted to raise the Cheng Ying Sword. However, when she tried to grip the Cheng Ying Sword tightly, she felt her entire right arm go numb; the previous Sword Qi had severely injured her entire right arm!

Spurt!

The second Sword Qi struck, and before Princess Zi Xuan could wield the Cheng Ying Sword, a trickle of blood flowed from her mouth. From her previous battle with Sword Sect’s Two Sons and Sword Sect Third Son, she was already seriously injured. Now, fighting the eldest son of Sword Sect’s incredibly powerful swordsmanship divine skills was truly taxing for her!

Clang!

Boom!

Just as Princess Zi Xuan lifted the Cheng Ying Sword, she was hit by the second Sword Qi unleashed by the eldest son of Sword Sect. Yet again, this Sword Qi struck the Cheng Ying Sword, and Princess Zi Xuan was swept away!

Spurt!

A mouthful of blood spewed out, and Princess Zi Xuan was even more gravely injured. The immense Sword Qi was truly something she couldn’t withstand, leaving her inwardly shocked. Holding one of the Ancient Divine Swords, the Cheng Ying Sword, wasn’t enough to block the Sword Qi of the eldest son of Sword Sect. What kind of swordsmanship divine skill did the eldest son of Sword Sect possess?

"There’s really no need to struggle anymore. You can’t withstand this swordsmanship divine skill; you might as well die swiftly and happily!" the eldest son of Sword Sect remarked with a calm indifference while looking at Princess Zi Xuan.

Princess Zi Xuan stood up, stubbornly wiping away the blood at the corner of her mouth, her eyes unwavering as she said, "I detest it when someone speaks to me with that attitude and tone, as if you can dictate my life and death. I won’t fall so easily; I will fight to the end!"

"Fight to the end? Haha, can you still fight me now? This third Sword Qi of mine will definitely take your life!" the eldest son of Sword Sect said coldly.

Swish!

The swordsmanship divine skill unleashed by the eldest son of Sword Sect, the third Sword Qi, slashed towards Princess Zi Xuan...
