“Uncle…”
Seeing Song Shaodao severely injured by Shi Feixuan, Shen Lang’s expression changed, and he was about to step forward, but Song Shaodao raised his right hand to stop him: “Shen Lang, don’t come closer. Within three hundred meters of this Tianya Haige, it is all covered by her sword energy. I can approach her because she allows it. If you approach carelessly, all the sword energy will attack you.”
“Song Shaodao, you are still as clever as ever.”
Shi Feixuan looked at Song Shaodao and sighed, “If you were truly smart, you wouldn’t have appeared here, understand?”
“The encounter thirty years ago, that period of beautiful time, this is my inner demon, preventing me from reaching the state of Supreme Detachment, and forever unable to successfully cultivate the final move of the Ci Hang Sword Canon, ‘The Unity of Sword Heart’.”
“For ten years, I have tried countless times to break through, but failed countless times. I finally realized that what affects me is the love I hold for you in my heart. As long as you do not die, I cannot let go.”
Song Shaodao had cared for Shi Feixuan for thirty years, but conversely, had Shi Feixuan not cared for Song Shaodao for thirty years?
However, Shi Feixuan was not an ordinary woman. She was the saintess of Ci Hang Jing Zhai. Matters of romance were not important to her. She only wished to achieve Supreme Detachment, then cultivate the Ci Hang Sword Canon and become the new head of the sect.
Because of this, the year she confirmed she had fallen for Song Shaodao, Shi Feixuan left without a word, eventually returning to Ci Hang Jing Zhai and beginning her period of seclusion.
Shi Feixuan would go into seclusion periodically, and each seclusion would last for ten years. This was already the third decade, and the Ci Hang Sword Canon had been cultivated to the fourth realm. Once she reached the fifth realm, the legendary Unity of Sword Heart, she would be an invincible existence, second only to the old sect leader.
The fact that three consecutive decades of seclusion had not allowed her to cultivate the Unity of Sword Heart made Shi Feixuan finally understand the root of the problem. It was also for this reason that she had Song Shaodao come before her.
“Song Shidao, you are the demon who disturbs my heart. Today, I shall slay you here.”
As Song Shaodao steadied himself, Shi Feixuan leaped up and stood on the roof of the hundred-meter-high Tianya Haige, looking down at Song Shaodao below, and shouted, “The world calls you the Mad King of Slaughter. Today, let me see your strength!”
With that, Shi Feixuan spread her arms, and the next second, tens of thousands of incredibly powerful sword energies appeared around her. These sword energies tore apart the surrounding air, forming a black hole.
“Senior Brother, I cannot see, but I can feel it. Shi Feixuan has become powerful beyond our comprehension. Her sword energy is like a vast river that no mortal can block.”
Wo Long said, “I once heard the old man say that the Ci Hang Sword Canon of Ci Hang Jing Zhai is the most terrifying sword art in the world. The canon has five realms: Sword Shattering the Void, Sword Dominating Heaven and Earth, Sword Ruling the Universe, Sword Annihilating Self, and Unity of Sword Heart.”
“Upon reaching Sword Shattering the Void, one can shatter the void with sword energy and henceforth no longer carry a sword, because the sword exists only in the void.”
“Senior Brother, though I am blind, I have already seen her sword. It is not one sword, but thousands upon thousands of swords. Quickly, tell Song Kuangwang to retreat.”
Wo Long’s expression suddenly became extremely grim, he shouted.
However, it was too late by the time Wo Long spoke. From the black hole behind Shi Feixuan, bronze ancient swords flew out one after another, eventually numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
Hundreds of thousands of bronze ancient swords, under Shi Feixuan’s control, then launched a fierce assault on Song Shaodao.
“This… is this still human?”
Seeing Shi Feixuan single-handedly control hundreds of thousands of bronze ancient swords, Shen Lang, Wang Yuyan, and Xie Lingjun were all stunned. Such a scene, they had only seen in fantasy novels, and never imagined it could happen in reality.
At this moment, everyone’s mind conjured two words—Sword Immortal.
If time had no Sword Immortal, I would wield my sword and become an immortal.
Shi Feixuan, with her green robes fluttering, effortlessly manipulated hundreds of thousands of bronze ancient swords. If not a Sword Immortal, then what is she?
“Senior Brother, can you withstand the power of this strike?”
Although Wo Long was blind, he seemed to see everything before him clearly, asking Shen Lang.
“Although I have reached the peak of the Heaven Realm, and have cultivated the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Art and the flying knife given to me by the old man, and even the mysterious power in my left hand, facing someone who can control hundreds of thousands of swords, I cannot block it.”
Shen Lang answered honestly, “This is already a Sword Immortal as recorded in ancient books, beyond mortal strength to resist, and certainly beyond you and me. Unless the old man descends the mountain, there are probably few people in this world who can be her opponent.”
“Senior Brother, do not be disheartened. Although this woman is truly terrifying, what the old man taught us, if we apply it to the extreme, we may yet be able to defeat her.”
Wo Long said, “I have always had a hunch that the strongest person in this world is no one else but that disheveled, ill-mannered old man.”
“I have the same hunch, but the scene before me is too terrifying. If you were to see it, even with your heaven-reaching abilities, you would lose the courage to fight.”
As Shen Lang spoke, the hundreds of thousands of bronze ancient swords manipulated by Shi Feixuan were already attacking Song Shaodao from all directions.
At this moment, Shi Feixuan was a Sword Immortal, an unparalleled Sword Immortal in the world.
“Uncle, be careful!”
At the critical moment, Shen Lang was extremely worried about Song Shaodao’s safety and shouted.
Song Shaodao did not respond to Shen Lang’s words. Instead, he closed his eyes tightly. The next second, Song Shaodao’s body was enveloped in golden light. The bronze ancient swords stabbed at him one after another, but none could break through the golden light; instead, they were broken by it.
“This… is this the Golden Light Thunder Technique of the Celestial Master’s Mansion on Longhu Mountain?”
Seeing the protective golden light on Song Shaodao, Shi Feixuan was shocked and said, “I know you have a good relationship with the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. I didn’t expect him to teach you the Golden Light Thunder Technique, which is not passed down in their sect. However, my swords are endless. How long can even the Golden Light Thunder Technique resist?”
The Golden Light Thunder Technique is a secret skill of the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. Once employed, it renders one invulnerable to blades and fire. But as Shi Feixuan said, no matter how strong the defense, it cannot withstand constant offense.
Under the continuous fierce attacks of hundreds of thousands of bronze ancient swords, after more than ten minutes, the golden light on Song Shaodao’s body cracked like a bronze mirror.
“Song Shaodao, I have broken your Golden Light Thunder Technique. Now, let’s see how you can withstand my Sword Shattering the Void.”
Seeing that Song Shaodao’s defense had been broken, Shi Feixuan was overjoyed and accelerated her control of the hundreds of thousands of bronze ancient swords, launching them towards Song Shaodao.
Seeing this, Song Shaodao immediately activated the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Art, and lightning instantly surrounded him.
