At those words, scorn tinged the corners of the Baili Suxue’s mouth. This scorn was not directed at Prime Minister Yan, but someone else.
“Some people always like to keep something up their sleeves.” He looked at Minister Yan and said, “Yuanwu is not here. The only person who has a thing up their sleeves more than you two can only be her.”
Prime Minister Yan immediately understood the meaning of his words and sneered as well. “You think that she will come?”
“Regardless of whether she will or will not, at least up to now, she still does not dare.” Baili Suxue said coldly and in disdain, “She always likes to hide behind people and benefit. That is the conduct of thieves, and cannot get on the stage. But she always wants to get on stage, so she forever cannot.”
Prime Minister Yan frowned deeply, his eyes narrowing into lines. The great scorn from a person of such status as Baili Suxue was even more irrefutable.
At this time, Prime Minister Li who had been listening all this time said, “One can only get on stage when they live long enough.”
Baili Suxue shook his head. “There is no meaning in living long. A person’s life only has meaning depending on how high they can stand.”
He stood very tall. He seemed to be standing high in the void. From the location of the two ministers, looking at him, he appeared to be standing in the sky.
The two ministers were silent. Because in their hearts, they had to admit, based on their trajectory, in their lifetime, they could not reach the heights of Baili Suxue and some other people.
“Today, you will be the first to die.” Baili Suxue’s gaze landed on Minister Li. “While you appear a gentleman on the surface, in order to get to your not-so-high position today, you could even betray your closest family members. You were clearly in charge of the Li Family creating the laws. But to quell the anger of the old nobility, you pushed it all away, and sacrificed the entire Li Family. A person like you, in any story, is a beast.”
At the words “the first to die,” Prime Minister Li’s eyes flashed violently. But then his face returned to normal. He patiently listened to Baili Suxue finish and then said, “At least, the Li Family still has me left. At least, I can do what I want to do. Otherwise? Be like the Shang Family? Those who do great things will not bother about trifles.”
“Like the Shang Family, at least, I will help the people left of the Shang Family and not kill her.” Baili Suxue attacked after saying this.
This was Min Mountain Sword Sect, this was the world that belonged to him. He could attack when he wished, just following his own thoughts. When his mind reached its best state, when his sword essence was the most perfect and he was the strongest.
His body did not move, but the ice path between his, the two ministers, Marquis Duanmu and Marquis Dugu cracked in sections. The presence was very natural, like a pond of spring water, holding in lots of soft rain until water overflowed the stairs on the side of the pond. Other than him, no one was able to attack in this part of the world.
Because even in the perception of the two ministers, Baili Suxue seemed to flicker through the sky, on the verge of disappearing in the next moment. If their attack would miss, then there was no meaning in attacking. At this time, on the peak of Min Mountain, it seemed like this place was Baili Suxue’s world.
Prime Minister Yan was very nervous, but he still found it very ridiculous.
Spirit Void Sword Sect and Min Mountain Sword Sect had always been ranked together, and were thought of as the two strongest sword using sects in the world. But at this time, Spirit Void Sword Sect seemed like a joke. Because what Baili Suxue used first was not a powerful secret sword from Min Mountain Sword Sect, but a secret sword of Spirit Void Sword Sect!
His body seemed to be hidden in the void, but his sword essence still could not be caught. Such a secret sword was the ultimate method of the Spirit Void Sword Sect. But as someone from Min Mountain Sword Sect, Baili Suxue could not have gotten the inheritance of Spirit Void Sword Sect, but he could easily use this powerful method of Spirit Void Sword Sect.
Looking at the four people who were very nervous but could only be on their guard and unable to move, Baili Suxue naturally reached with his hand. His movements were very clear. His right hand turned, palm up. There was no killing intent targeting anyone among the four. Just the cracking ice path surged with cold energy visible to the naked eye, and flying in flakes towards the sky. The cold energy did not make the two ministers and the two marquises feel cold, but they formed crystal lattices in the surrounding.
This became an absolute domain. Almost all of the primal energies cultivators felt were blocked outside. This became Baili Suxue’s world.
Prime Minister Yan’s expression turned ugly, and many complicated sounds came from his lips. This was a very profound breathing method to create vibrations. Its greatest ability was to instant activate the potential of the organs to their limit.
As the profound sounds appeared, the sky above the ice peak darkened. A black long sword appeared in his hand, and then it slashed towards the ice path ahead!
Black and gray were the main colors of Changling. After the iron of Changling was smelted, they would turn blacked. A black long sword was very normal in Changling. But his black long sword was like bamboo, split up in sections.
Also, there were gaps between each section which were filled with his purest vital energy. As he slashed out, the air ahead had a string of explosions.
The air was squeezed by his sword energy like it was a solid, but in the next moment, it made a sound like oil dropping on a hot metal plate. Countless indigo wisps of smoke spread from where his sword energy traveled.
These wisps of indigo smoke were like snakes spitting poisonous energy, corroding and using up the primal energies of the universe in this part of the world. This was using poison against poison.
The two ministers lived up to their status. When they attacked, they used extraordinary methods.
Baili Suxue was going to use absolute cold to seal the primal energies from the outside world, then he was going to make it so that Baili Suxue could not use the energies in here. His lifebond sword contained great poison, and at this time, these numerous snake-like indigo wisps of smoke could immediately fill mountain peaks with poison.
A gold light appeared in Minister Li’s hand. To be able to walk side by side with Minister Yan, and come to this mountain peak to kill Baili Suxue, he naturally would not be weaker than Minister Yan.
But what appeared with the light was not sword essence, but a seal essence.
The gold light in his hand was a golden piece of paper. The characters on the paper were actually seal scripts. When his vital energy surged into these scripts, they started to shine with light. Then the golden light shot into the sky, and left ancient seal scripts on the crystal lattice that Baili Suxue had created. Within the golden scripts, snowy white ice thorns formed.
Minister Li’s body slowly sank down. The hard stone ground under his feet seemed to turn into soft soil. His movements became burdened, but he seemed to be able to turn some of Baili Suxue for his own use.
Marquis Duanmu and Marquis Dugu were unable to fight now. This was a realm which they seemed unable to interfere.
So the two people naturally moved to the side of the two ministers, like they were two attendants.
Volume 4 53 - A Marquis’ Subject
The night wind stopped suddenly. All those present could feel the confidence and pride in Gu Huai’s words. They could understand his confidence and pride.
Looking at his back, Ding Ning sensed his presence. Upon hearing the words, he worried that Zhangsun Qianxue, in the distance, would not be able to resist acting because of Gu Huai’s words.
“Laughable.”
Tang Xin shook his head at Gu Huai’s words. A faint scornful smile appeared on his lips.
Gu Huai immediately frowned and said, “How so?”
“I have seen many people of Ba Mountain Sword Field fight.” Tang Xin did not argue at all and was calmly stating the truth. “Including that person … I saw that person wield the sword and felt that I was no match. I also did not like the monarch of Zhongshan and those people, so I even had thoughts of joining Ba Mountain Sword Field out of admiration.”
“Back then, Ba Mountain Sword Field was truly a place for enemies to admire.” Tang Xin’s smile grew wider as he spoke. “But what was admirable was not just power but their quick and happy conduct. But in the end, during Changling’s change, I discovered the soul of Ba Mountain Sword Field was just in the minority of people.”
” That person died in battle, Yan Xinlan died in battle, Ba Mountain Sword Field was destroyed. The remainder either were those who feared death, seeking life, or they fought for power and were traitors who ignored friendships. Ba Mountain Sword Field was long gone. If you speak of the people of Ba Mountain Sword Field, I fear only the few like Lin Zhujiu who escaped the water prison qualify to say so. Your heart is not straight, and your essence can never be as powerful as that person. You think you can win against me using Ba Mountain Sword Field’s techniques?” Tang Xin’s voice echoed.
His words were not polite and did not give Gu Huai any face at all. A cultivator like him who could fight his enemies because of his own preferences usually would not care about anyone else’s feelings.
“In reality, you do notn’t understand.” Gu Huai shook his head as though he wanted to explain but found there was no need.
Tang Xi’s vital energy was at its most perfect, so he did not want to talk more.
“Please!” He attacked.
His left hand reached out first and a blinding bolt of lightning appeared in his hand. The pillar of lightning seemed to stretch from his hand into the endless sky. No one could see if the lightning had surged out of his hand or had fallen from the clouds to gather in his hand.
As the lightning appeared, the air in front of him split violently. This was a blade essence, the lightning in his left hand was his blade. His right hand hung by his side all this time, yet all the wind of the steppes seemed to have gathered in his hand.
An indigo sword appeared in his left hand. Black sand and indigo winds surged within the sword itself, like countless sandstorms were brewing.
Using the wind and lightning of the world was something from the legends. Yet inexplicably, when the blade essence was attacking Gu Huai, his serious face wore a slight disapproval.
Before the lightning, a black dot appeared in the sky and rapidly expanded in everyone’s sight.
All the Wuzhi soldiers who had retreated afar, including the numerous cultivators who had come with Ding Ning, did not dare to believe their eyes.
This was a mountain. A sword-shaped mountain.
Following Gu Huai’s desire, what appeared in the sky was a real, and sword-shaped mountain! The body gave off the shine of black iron, yet unlike normal iron, the light the surface of the mountain gave off were hexagonal lights.
All of the lights seemed to be calmly exuded, and were not sharp edges. Only metal from extraterrestrial meteors could give such a glow.
This was a mountain made out of celestial metal. More accurately, this was a sword made completely of celestial metal!
This was Gu Huai’s sword. This was the lifebond sword he had finished in Ba Mountain Sword Field, Sword Mountain Sword!
No one knew what kind of sword manual he had comprehended to produce unique primal energies of the universe to create this sword, yet everyone could sense the strong lifebond presence and … its heaviness!
The sword essence his sword gave off now was heaviness!
Crack!
This sword fell down and easily broke through Tang Xin’s attack, the heavy sword essence moved towards him.
Yet in this moment, Gu Huai shouted in shock and anger.
Tang Xin attacked now. His indigo sword ignored everything else, and thrust directly towards Gu Huai’s body.
Pang pang pang pang ….
Multiple small holes appeared on Tang Xin’s left side. His entire left arm was bloodied, and a mist of blood sprayed out. There was also a cracking sound next to Gu Huai. A sword mark appeared on his chest, and in the split skin, black energy, like black sand, stabbed into his body.
Boom!
The world shook. Everyone, including the horses, were shaken off the ground.
The heavy sword mountain smashed onto the ground, turning into a true mountain between Tang Xin and Gu Huai, their bodies were caught up in the wind and flew backwards.
Tang Xin’s left arm fell powerlessly. His arm was crippled.
Gu Huai coughed, blood and black sand coming out with each cough. Shen Xuan’s body was also sent flying backwards.
Another madman. He cursed inwardly as he grunted.
At this moment, Tang Xin attacked again. The indigo longsword directly hit the sword mountain ahead of him.
Crack!
His indigo sword was snapped. The heavy Sword Mountain Sword was sent flying by this blow and flew into the sky.
The shadow of the flying sword mountain enveloped Gu Huai who was still coughing and he lost his calm. He could not help but shout harshly, “Each attack is in search of death where both sides suffer. How can there be a style like yours!”
“We are not competing in sword techniques but life and death.” A mocking smile appeared on the corners of Tang Xin’s mouth. He felt that it was laughable for Gu Huai, the master of Spirit Void Sword Sect, to say such things at this time.
Then he threw the snapped indigo longsword in his hand hard towards Gu Huai. With this throw, the snapped longsword became hard indigo winds. An indigo dragon seemed to charge towards him. He did not consider himself with this attack. He still used a way of fighting where both sides would suffer.
The Sword Mountain Sword dropped slightly, like it was going to fall on Gu Huai.
Gu Huai’s face grew even darker in the shadow, he looked up.
When he looked up, his eyes were full of an indescribable meaning. His primal energies of the universe surged out madly. the heavy Sword Mountain Sword rose as he lifted his head, accelerating and flying at unbelievable speed until it became a black spot into the sky.
This was a scene hard to imagine. All the Wuzhi cavalry shuddered.
An enormous shock sounded in the sky. It was like a god’s hammer hit the endless sky. The black night sky suddenly became white.
The black Sword Mountain Sword turned white. Then this sword, the heaviest and largest sword in the world, fell at terrifying speed. It grew bigger in everyone’s eyes which contracted involuntarily.
The celestial metal mountain was covered by white star fire. The proud and cold flows of white flame sprinted down the surface of the mountain, and took the celestial mountain along to hit the head of the indigo dragon. The indigo dragon wind and the sword mountain covered in white flames met in the night sky.
A great boom!
Ding Ning’s eyes narrowed slightly, and felt colder inside.
The fire suddenly disappeared from the sky, the sword mountain fell to the ground.
A wave of air spread outwards like a tsunami. With this mountain as the center, a layer of the ground had been scraped off, and an enormous hole appeared.
Tang Xin’s figure had disappeared. No one knew if he had dissipated in the dust wave or was crushed under the sword mountain.
Gu Huai bowed his head, and coughed up blood again. He was alive now. This meant he had won this battle. But he had no pride in his eyes.
He knew better than anyone else where the power to defeat Tang Xin’s last blow had come from.
