Chapter 492: Soul-stirring

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Those black and white sword shadows constantly clashed in mid air. The entire space fissure was cut apart, forming a giant black crack.

Ten thousand feet wide, all the heaven and earth spiritual energy had disappeared. A hundred feet around Zong Shou was perfectly fine. Even if occasionally it broke under the huge striking force, it would be able to recover in time. Pieces of it returned to their original positions, becoming perfect.

However, Zong Shou mostly relied on the black hole in his body to directly obtain heaven and earth spiritual energy from the heavens and earth itself. Although it was limited, it could reduce his consumption to the lowest point.

Jueyu, opposite him, didn’t rely on heaven and earth spiritual energy. He continuously caused the void storm, threads of black colored cracks to merge into his sword. Its strength was also vast.

Sword after sword clashed. Zong Shou slowly stopped bothering about anything else. He was forced to fully focus to defend against Jueyu’s attacks. It was almost mechanical, and he didn’t know how much time has passed.

The sword light in their hands spread out a cracking sound at the same time.

Then, the black colored broadsword and fire yin sword couldn’t handle such a level of intense fighting anymore. After one more strike, they all broke into pieces!

Zong Shou was startled. Then, he stopped thinking about the sword artifact breaking. He didn’t hesitate to grab in the air, gathering the spiritual energy from all directions. Instantly a silver colored energy sword formed up.

On the side of Jueyu, he also didn’t hesitate. He instinctively reached out with his hand, directly gathering the void crack into a sword shape, stabbing out towards Zong Shou.

“Peng!”

An explosion no weaker than before reverberated through the entire million feet of space. These 2 ‘swords’ once again smashed into pieces during the intense collision!

In that instance, 2 silver black sword lights gathered up once more–continuously clashing, continuously breaking apart. In a blink of an eye, there were another thousand strikes. Then, the speed of the sword light forming up slowed down at the same time.

Right away, Lei Dong felt something. A moment later, Suchen also frowned.

“The tempo seems to have become slower!”

The sword speed of the 2 of them had reduced by a lot. Jueyu had to use much more time to complete a strike.

On the side of Tanqiu, the speed at which he formed the silver sword energy was also reduced accordingly.

This was also what Suchen felt weird about.

Tanqiu reduced the speed at which he formed the energy sword because his soul power was not enough–unable to maintain the energy. His spell body true image was already showing signs of being unstable.

However, on the side of Jueyu, he was still at his peak state. Although he consumed huge amounts of energy, he could still support it.

At this moment, however, he didn’t suppress him and force the win. Instead, he slowed the tempo down to give Tanqiu some breathing room. Furthermore, each sword he stepped out seem to be extremely tiring, which he didn’t understand.

“What is there to be surprised about?”

Ruotao shook his head and smiled, his eyes shining a bright light, “Jueyu isn’t doing so voluntarily! The reason why is that Tanqiu had already understood his great extinction sword to a great level. Didn’t you see that just now each sword consumption of Tanqiu was reducing? When he faced Jueyu’s sword, he is finding it much more comfortable, able to break it halfway through. It is obvious that he had deduced Jueyu’s sword trajectory…”

Suchen’s body shuddered a little. Thinking back carefully, that was the situation.

This was the case for the 700 previous swords. Only during this period due to the lack of soul power, each time that Tanqiu faced a sword, it seemed difficult. That was the reason why he didn’t notice it.

At this moment, Lei Dong laughed coldly, “Tanqiu is still lacking in strength. He has to be more careful to cover up for the weaknesses in his sword. He has to use stronger sword trajectories to avoid being defeated in a sword!”

Suchen was shocked and knew that Jueyu was being more careful–putting down his tempo was because he needed more time to deduce and plan out his attack.

However, if he didn’t attack and Tanqiu recovered, he would still lose in the end.

The 2 people in front of them had already forced each other into the brink.

Ruotao, on the side, also concluded.

“Within 10 swords, the outcome will be decided! If I didn’t see it for myself, I don’t dare to believe that apart from that person, there is someone who could force Jueyu into such a situation…”

Lei Dong scoffed coldly, not retorting. It was obvious that he agreed with those words.

7 swords later, there was a muffled grunt that sounded out in the void.

Jueyu retreated a full ten thousand feet. This time, he stood in the void and didn’t continue to attack. His brows furrowed tightly, and his face was extremely solemn.

Zong Shou also didn’t chase him to strike, standing still on the spot. His were eyes slightly closed like he was regaining energy.

After the silver-colored energy sword in his hand dissipated, he didn’t form another one. He only silently stood on the spot.

On the side of Jueyu, he was thinking back to the few swords before. It took a few breaths until he smiled.

“We have already fought 19442 swords. This battle feels good. No matter if I win or lose, I am satisfied. Why not we decide the victor with the next sword?”

Zong Shou’s brows furrowed as he opened his eyes. His soul power was mostly consumed. At this moment even the body was just left with a shadow of Tanqiu. He found it tough to even speak, giving a simple nod of the head.

“Okay!”

The moment he said those words, the black colored sword light in front of him rose back up. A sword river filled with destruction ability flooded over.

Jueyu had used all his strength for this sword, moving all the power that he could utilize.

…Great extinction sword no life sword!

It was more skilled than when he had used it before and filled with numerous changes! It used most of the void storm and more true qi within.

Looking out, that black colored sword shadow was limitless and endless–such that one couldn’t raise the courage to stop and block it.

The sword seemed like it was unstoppable like it was to destroy the space in the area…

Zong Shou’s brows furrowed, and he stood still–calmly looking at the sword wave in front of him. His soul ocean was crazily spinning, analyzing and breaking it down.

It wasn’t until the black colored sword shadow’s tip was a hundred feet away did his intent explode out, like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting.

Raging fighting intent charged up once more. That peak martial path intent seemed to reach an even high level at that moment.

Without hesitation, another silver colored energy sword formed in his hand. He strongly stabbed out!

That unshakable faith within his heart seemed even firmer and stronger.

He could definitely win this fight!

When the silver sword light stabbed out, it clashed with the black colored sword wave hundred feet out. Another low “peng” as the 2 sword lights went chaotic.

However, at this moment the black sword halted slightly, still flooding over like a flood. The silver colored sword energy instantly recovered, like a maggot feeding on a corpse, entering through the gaps of the sword wave.

After 2 thousand swords, this was the first time it exited 100 feet!

The first 19449 swords were him defending, only this last sword was attacking!

One origin yang sword!

Like quicksilver pouring on the ground, there was no hole it didn’t enter. That sword light seemed to be like a needle, going deep in. It was like a butcher disassembling a cow, breaking down the black colored sword wave, charging right for the core of the sword.

On Jueyu’s side, he was resisting it with all his strength. He was calm as he fought back. He changed the sword light to block the silver colored sword shadow out, on one side it was like a raging river totally swallowing Zong Shou’s body.

At this moment, the hundred thousand people in the area were silent. They only watched on quietly. Apart from the sword energy clashing sound, there was no other noise.

Suchen’s pupils constricted into that of a pin. His soul sense spread out. Even if he was hurt by those spreading black colored void cracks, he didn’t care at all. He just wanted to remember each and every change over there, to imprint it in his mind.

So quick!

Zong Shou knew that great extinction sword like the back of his palm. With a close to crazy speed to cause the wave to be dissolved and close to the stage of collapse!

Jueyu was going all out, that vast sword wave brimming with energy. After it collapsed, more sword shadows rose up like it was unlimited and endless. He thought, you break one sword, I will attack with one more sword!

…You can break 10 swords, 100 swords, but you can’t break a thousand, 10 thousand!

Suchen’s fists were clenched tight! Since practicing martial arts, this was the first time he had witnessed such an intense battle! 2 extreme sword intents, sword path talents clashing, it was so eye-catching!

He also knew that this was the final moment. However, they were still unable to determine a victor. His heart was filled with nervousness.

…Would Tanqiu lose after using up all his energy? Or would he totally destroy Jueyu’s sword before he uses up his soul power?

Sword light intersected. The frequency at which they clashed was lesser and lesser. Jueyu’s expression was really solemn, and his gaze was totally focused. He tried this best to grasp where the real body of the silver colored sword was at.

Whilst Zong Shou’s strength still manages to hold on, each time the sword energy struck could increase a chance of winning!

His body was continuously retreating. 100 feet, 1 thousand feet, 10 thousand feet!

Under the striking of the silver colored sword light, he could only retreat! Since he couldn’t block, he could only go all out to pull apart the distance.

At this moment, Zong Shou’s consciousness was almost lost. His last bit of strength was close to being lost.

He subconsciously controlled the sword in his hand, charging forwards! He instinctively dissolved each and every sword stance of Jueyu.

Within his mind, his faith was like that of a mountain.

Sword emperor Tanqiu, going through over 9 thousand battles in his life, never losing before. Today, he would also win!

At this moment, in mid air, Fangwen suddenly took a step forward. A moment later, he realized he had lost his composure. His fist clenched tight, suppressing the nervousness in his chest, giving out a self mocking laugh.

“…This battle is really soul-stirring!”
