Limitless Sword God

Swift Sword Against Heavy Sword

“Young Noble Li is too polite.” Su Yun got up and cupped his fists: “I wonder why Young Noble Li is looking for me?”

Li Chang Zai laughed and spoke: “Chang Zai has observed Young Noble Su’s previous match earnestly. Young Noble Su, you are very strong, your speed is surprisingly unparalleled, if not for Chang Zai’s many years of training in my eyes, I am afraid I would not be able to catch a glimpse of Young Noble Su’s figure!”

Su Yun did not say anything, and sat back down.

Li Chang Zai helped himself to sit down beside Su Yun as well, he cupped his fists again, and said: “I have stayed in New Deer City for a period of time and in this period of time, I quarreled with a few Spirit Cultivators and duelled with them, with my quick sword, I defeated 7 of them, so people gave me the nickname of ‘Fastest Swift Sword’. At that time, I had accepted it willingly, until I met you, Young Noble Su, I am afraid that my nickname should be given to you now.”

“Young Noble Li is too modest. I have also seen your matches, in terms of speed, you need not pass down the nickname of Swift Sword.”

Li CHang Zai smiled and shook his head, then spoke softly: “I have to ask… Young Noble Su, who is your master? Who imparted you your swift sword techniques?”

Hearing that, Su Yun hesitated for a moment, he shook his head, and did not answer the question.

Seeing that, Li Chang Zai revealed a look of disappointment.

“But I am hoping to have the fortune of sparring with Young Noble Su in the coming few rounds. Since Young Noble Su’s advantage is what I, Chang Zai, fancies, Chang Zai hopes to learn a thing or two from Young Noble Su.” Li Chang Zai smiled, then continued: “All of the following opponents are not mediocre, Young Noble Su, I do not doubt your strength, but I am one of the weakest amongst the few participants, and do not know if I will have the opportunity to spar with Young Noble Su.”

“We will.”

Su Yun nodded his head, his tone of speech indifferent.

Li Chang Zai stood up and cupped his fists: “Since that is the case, then I will take my leave first.”

Su Yun cupped his fists.

Under the eyes of the spectators, Li Chang Zai returned to his seat.

The competition grounds recovered to a short calm.

Su Yun retracted his consciousness and looked around. All of the Group B Participants had been eliminated, leaving only the four participants representing the four official organisations, Group A experts: Han Yue Xin, Shen Wu Ya, Li Chang Zai, Hua Ya Shan and Jiang Qing Long.

Jiang Qing Long was severely injured, and if he were to meet him in the next battle, it was basically a win, unless Jiang Qing Long still had some trump card.

For the remaining people, none of them were easy to deal with, especially the four representing the four official organisations, their fighting strength was difficult to extrapolate and they held the advantage over the other participants in terms of treasures. Since the treasures would be supplied by the organisations, none of them would be low grade treasures.

After staying in Ultimate Martial World for so long, Su Yun had some understanding of the place. The strength of the so called sects in the Ultimate Martial World was most likely incomparable to the trading organisations. What they earned were cultivation coins, which also meant that they were earning a sea of cultivation, with the support of cultivation coins, they were able to support the growth of any ordinary Spirit Cultivator. Although absorbing the cultivation coins also required a process, the speed of cultivating would far exceed the bitter training of any sect disciple.

Thus, although the representatives were covered all over by the stink of money, but no matter how strong the others were, they did not dare offend the representatives.

~This is truly a world where money is power.~

Su Yun sighed.

“Brother Su.” Just then, Lu Zhan Yuan suddenly called out from the side.

“Zhan Yuan, what’s the matter?” Su Yun asked.

Lu Zhan Yuan hesitated for awhile, then stood up and cupped his fists to ask: “Brother Su, Zhan Yuan always had a question that I have been meaning to ask, I wonder if it will be convenient for Brother Su to reply”

“What do you want to ask?”

Su Yun asked him.

“That…” Lu Zhan Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked: “Brother Su, to whom did you seek apprenticeship from?”

“Apprenticeship?” Su Yun was startled.

Lu Zhan Yuan had a serious expression, or could be said to be a desire.

“Brother Su, Zhan Yuan entered Ultimate Martial World seven years go, to seek for more power here, I have a huge enmity and hope that one day, my cultivation will be huge enough to be able to drill a blade into my enemy! Thus, after entering the Ultimate Martial World, I have always been bitterly training, yet my cultivation has difficulty in improving. It’s been so many years, and my fighting strength is just that, Brother Su, if you are a disciple of any great sect, I wonder if you can help recommend me in? Zhan Yuan will repay Brother Su’s grace!” With that said, Lu Zhan Yuan bent his knees and was about to kneel down.

Su Yun anxiously extended his hand out to support him and said: “Zhan Yuan, don’t be like this!”

“Brother Su, are you not willing to recommend me?” Lu Zhan Yuan became anxious.

“It’s not that I am unwilling to, but I am not a disciple of any great sect, you’ve thought too much.” Su Yun shook his head: “More accurately speaking, I have received the guidance of many experts, if you really want me to tell you what sect I came from, I can, I am from the Limitless Sword Sect.”

“Limitless Sword Sect?” Lu Zhan Yuan was stunned; “Where is that sect from?”

“Sky Martial Continent.”

“Sky Martial Continent?” There was surprise in Lu Zhan Yuan’s eyes: “I’ve heard of that place before, if I am recalling it correctly, it is an inferior human surface? Could it be that Brother Su came from there?”

“Of course.” Su Yun nodded his head.

Hearing that, Lu Zhan Yuan revealed a look of disappointment: “I thought that Brother Su was a local from Ultimate Martial World.”

“I’m not.” Su Yun laughed: “But if you truly want to learn the Limitless Sword Art, I can refer you into the Limitless Sword Sect.”

“That…” Lu Zhan Yuan hesitated for a moment, then chuckled: “It’s alright, thank you Brother Su.” With that said, he returned to his seat and no longer made a sound.

Seeing that, Su Yun did not say anything else.

Su Yun had defeated Zhang Jiu, Han Yue Xin had defeated Chen Jia Liu, thus they would not be appearing for the following rounds, unexpectedly, it was Li Chang Zai’s turn.

Li Chang Zai versus Heavy Sword Sect’s Senior brother Hua Ya Shan; Shen Wu Ya versus Jiang Qing Long.

With a blade in his left and a sword in right, Shen Wu Ya, hailed as the Blade Sword Saint of War, had extraordinary strength. Without him even brandishing his blade to defeat Lu Zhan Yuan, one could guess his fighting strength! Since Jiang Qing Long was heavily injured and could not win, victory was already his.

Thus, people were more excited to watch the battle between Li Chang Zai’s Swift Sword and Hua Ya Shan’s heavy sword.

Li Chang Zai was extremely agile as he landed on stage like the wind.

Su Yun turned his gaze towards Hua Ya Shan who had a 2m plus long and 1m thick heavy sword on his back, he had a small stature with dark skin and a flat head. He looked to be thirty to forty years old, with a beard on his face, dressed extremely loosely with clothes that did not seem to fit him. But the most incompatible thing was his name, Hua Ya Shan, whom people might think was an elegant young noble.

He walked step by step to the stage, then placed the sword on the ground.

When the sword touched the stage, the stage trembled intensely, like a huge wave hitting a small boat.

Li Chang Zai remained unmoved, his eyes gazed upon the black heavy sword, to which he raised his thin jade bamboo sword in his hand.

Su Yun looked at the swords of both men.

Hua Ya Shan’s sword was huge and heavy without any edge or tip, as though it was not used to slash or cut but to smash. In contrast, Li Chang Zai’s sword was lustrous and bright, threatening with its edge, the jade body gave others a feeling that they would be hurt upon touching it.

The two of them stood opposite each other, although the battle had not started, the sword intent was already churning on stage, the stifling pressure made the host Zhu Wen feel as though he was unable to breathe. He anxiously flipped down the stage, withdrawing from the edge of the stage and looked up, seeing that it was time, he shouted: “Will the two participants, get ready!”

Hearing that, they started to accumulate the Profound Spirit Qi in their body, both of them preparing themselves. They were like two jaguars that had locked down on their preys, and could attack at any moment.

The clamors in the competition grounds gradually calmed down, everybody stopped their discussions and looked towards the stage.

Boom!!!

A loud and clear bell sound sounded out.

“Let the competition begin!” Zhu Wen immediately roared.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz

Almost at the same time, sword buzz sounds exploded on stage. It was Li Chang Zai’s sword hum, slowly, the air around him started to release strange undulations, as though he was underwater and the ripples resonated outwards in the water, the two of them seemed to be covered with a strange barrier of water making it seem as though people were hallucinating about their battle.

Su Yun’s eyes tensed up

~That’s a Sword Realm!~

Realm of the sword, an imposing aura that transcended the power of a sword itself! Li Chang Zai was releasing powerful might before the battle had even started with the intent of pressuring his opponent down!

People who were able to unleash Sword Aura usually had very powerful sword intent, such people had trained in the path of the sword for many years, the fighting spirit from their bodies and the intent of the sword had reached a pinnacle, their own bodies were inseparably close to their swords, thus the power unleashed was extremely fast! A human’s anger would erupt into killing intent, which was the aura of the person, but when the person’s aura was passed on and unleashed through the sword, it becomes the Imposing Sword Aura!

“Good Aura!”

Hua Ya Shan opened his eyes wide, he roared in a low growl, causing his loose robes to flutter.

“Come!” Li Chang Zai shouted.

Hua Ya Shan did not hold back, his deep and dark eyes unleashed a thick fighting intent, wielding his sword single-handedly, his expression remained extremely serious,.

Closing in on Li Chang Zai, Hua Ya Shan suddenly roared out loudly, the heavy sword in hand plummeted down, striking onto the ground.

Boom!

Before the heavy sword had even landed on the ground, the entire stage shattered, dust flew up forming a cloud, and Profound Spirit Qi rippled out!

Aura! It was aura as well! But it was different from Li Chang Zai’s release of his imposing sword aura, Hua Ya Shan’s was reserved all the way until he unleashed his attack, he unleashed his sword aura in that instant.

With that one move! His sword aura exploded forth!

Li Chang Zai’s eyes turned serious and he raised his fine sword.

His hand trembled slightly, clearly, the slender sword and heavy sword were still apart by a few inches, but countless of sparks formed between both swords, and the sound of metal clashing erupted.

“So fast!”

Su Yun stared at Li Chang Zai’s arm.

Although many people could not see it clearly, but he was able to catch everything, when the opponent had attacked with his heavy sword, Li Chang Zai had unleashed over 600 sword strikes, he was extremely fast, he knew that he could not compete with Hua Ya Shan in terms of strength, thus he planned to use numbers to suppress Hua Ya Shan. He had countered Hua Ya Shan’s one attack with 600 attacks, every sword strike hitting away some power from the heavy sword.

Li Chang Zai seemed to be giving it his all without holding back.

But what surprised Su Yun was that although Li Chang Zai’s speed was extremely fast, there were no Profound Spirit Qi in any of his attack, which meant that he was the same as Su Yun previously, he was unable to unleash Profound Spirit Qi with his high speed release of attacks. Su Yun could presently only accompany some strikes with Profound Spirit Qi, to do it with all of his attacks was extremely difficult.

When the heavy sword was approaching Li Chang Zai, most of the force had long been reduced.

Li Chang Zai tilted his head slightly, and used his left shoulder to resist the broad heavy sword, while he used his right hand to swipe horizontally straight at Hua Ya Shan’s neck.

His movements were extremely smooth, it flashed as fast as lightning!
