Chapter 1009: If You Want to Learn, Put Everything Down (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Thunder rumbled like a sword cry spat out by the sword light of Taixuan Sword. Lightning tore through the black clouds, illuminating Shen Ping’s calm face like a sword.
For some reason, when she saw the calm eyes, Huo Ru’s sword heart trembled before disappearing without a trace.
This battle… She has to win!
The longsword in her hand rushed forward with an unparalleled sword intent. When the tip of the sword was half a meter away from Shen Ping, the power of the Heartless Sword Dao had already completely enveloped him.
The members of the Sword Tower standing around the Sword Platform did not understand why the Marquis of Zhenbei did not move at all. Could it be that he was frightened by the aura of Sword Saint Taixuan?
However, right at this moment, it was as if an invisible energy barrier had condensed in front of Shen Ping. No matter how the Taixuan Sword erupted with power, it could not stab forward an inch.
“This is the Sword Dao Domain!” a Sword Son cried out in surprise. Only by having a deep understanding of the Sword Dao could one form their own unique comprehension.
The Sword Dao itself was very difficult to cross. For example, Fairy Lijiang and Sword Saint Taixuan, two outstanding figures on the Cosmos Ranking, had just stepped into the realm of the Sword Dao. It was impossible for them to condense their own Sword Dao domain.
Huo Ru’s eyes were filled with shock. She knew that the Marquis of Zhenbei might be hiding his strength, but she had never thought that he could step into the Sword Dao.
“So what if there’s a Sword Dao Domain? I’ll break it myself!” she let out a low shout. The longsword in her hand suddenly spun and stabbed at Shen Ping again at an extremely fast speed. The power of this stab was twice as strong as before. At the same time, the aura she emitted became domineering, cold, and heartless. Clearly, the power of Heartless Sword’s Sword Dao had completely erupted.
Standing in the air, the Sword Master’s expression changed slightly. He could see that Huo Ru was improving quickly in the Heartless Sword Dao, but the Marquis of Zhenbei was still indifferent.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
The Taixuan Sword was still blocked by the invisible sword domain. Huo Ru bit her red lips and spun around Shen Ping at an extremely fast speed. Every time she spun, she would stab out from different directions, wanting to find the weak point of the Sword Dao Domain. Unfortunately, no matter how she used it for more than ten breaths, she could not pierce an inch of the sword.
Shen Ping, who was standing, smiled and said, “Sword Saint Huo, since you’ve finished attacking, it’s my turn.”
A sword beam slowly condensed out from his fingertip. Then, he gently stabbed it in front of him.
The sword light instantly shattered the Taixuan Sword and stabbed Huo Ru’s body with an unparalleled force. Huo Ru was like a kite with a broken string, flying heavily and smashing into the edge of the sword platform. In the end, half of her body left the sword platform.
“You’ve lost.”
His voice was very faint. However, in the area covered by the sword platform, all the members of the Sword Tower heard it. The astonishing sword intent slowly dissipated.
The heavy rain poured down. For a moment, the sword platform and the surrounding members were drenched, but no one spoke. Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the two people standing and lying on the sword platform.
It was unbelievable. The first sword seed of the Sword Whisper Tower, Sword Saint Taixuan, who was at the forefront of the Cosmos Ranking, was actually defeated by a single strike. From the beginning to the end, she did not even touch the corner of his clothes.
Although the outcome of a battle between experts in the Sword Dao was indeed decided with a single thought, the problem was that Sword Saint Taixuan was the pride of the Sword Whisper Tower!
The rain got heavier. The sword platform was washed by the rain until it was like a mirror.
Huo Ru clutched her chest and gritted her teeth as she forcefully endured the Sword Dao intent in her body. In the end, she could not help but spit out a large mouthful of blood, dyeing the clear rain red. The luster in her eyes dimmed.
She lost. The arrogant and heartless sword intent was crushed, like this wing. It was not scary to lose. However, her defeat was so thorough that she was at a loss.
Was her heartless Sword Dao really wrong?
The young Sword Master landed on the sword platform. He did not even look at Huo Ru. Instead, he turned to Shen Ping and said with a smile, “Congratulations, Marquis of Zhenbei, for defeating the strongest sword seed of our Sword Whisper Tower. According to the previously agreed conditions, she will be yours from now on.”
Shen Ping grinned. “Greetings, Sword Master.”
The Sword Master laughed. “Shen Ping, from now on, you’re also a member of our Sword Whisper Tower. With your strength, you’re definitely number one on the Cosmos Ranking!”
The two of them chatted and laughed as they confirmed their previous agreement. Only Huo Ru struggled to get up and silently left the sword platform. No one went up to comfort her. This was the usual practice of the Sword Whisper Tower. It was also a part of the Heartless Sword Dao.
In the Sword Tomb behind the tallest Sword Tower, Shen Ping followed behind the Sword Master and walked on a deep path. Finally, he arrived at a stone room. From the perception of his true soul power, the surroundings of the stone room were filled with special minerals. Every piece of these minerals contained sword intent, as if they were constantly augmented by the previous Sword Masters. Even if an immortal wanted to barge in, it was impossible.
“Marquis of Zhenbei, there are a total of twelve Diagrams of Mountains and Rivers, five of which are from the Seeping River Academy, two from the Sword Tower, two from the Sea Moon Cliff, two from the Heavenly Sound Tempe, and one from the Monarch Mountain. Originally, there were six from the Seeping River Academy, but they gave one to the Monarch Mountain.
“Of course, every diagram in the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers is profound and mysterious. It’s also very easy to see the five diagrams of Seeping River Academy, so it doesn’t matter how many they have,” the Sword Master said softly. Then, he opened a mechanism and took out the two most important diagrams of the Sword Whisper Tower.
