The Sword Dynasty Vol 3 Chapter 49

Chapter 49: A Sword Flattening A Mountain

Emperor Yuanwu did not speak, his lips pressed together tightly like two thin blades .

Yet, Yan Ying did not stop here . He looked at Emperor Yuanwu and continued . “But you are human and not god . The ‘Universe Gold Body’ is magical, but it must follow the rules governing the primal energies of the universe . Your seemingly unaffected tolerance is just opening a meridian point in your body to contain your opponent’s killing intent and power . The killing intent and power will exist in your meridians and will not disappear for no reason . One day, they will explode . ”

The peak of Deer Mountain grew quieter . Every gaze was extremely complex, for these words concerned the secrets of Emperor Yuanwu’s cultivation . A grandmaster like Yan Ying was speaking so confidently that there would be no mistake .

Emperor Yuanwu’s eyes narrowed slightly, like two thin swords . In his eyes, Emperor Chen of Han and Yan Ying were naturally not worthy opponents, yet, he could continue to grapple with them .

It should be finished .  He slowly thought inside, as he raised the yellow sword in his hand .

For a powerful swordsman, their sword essence was the best expression of their minds . The moment he lifted his sword, everybody present knew the time to decide the battle had arrived .

Countless rays of light fell down from the sky where no one could see . They flooded into his body at a speed surpassing a cultivator’s perception . Emperor Yuanwu’s body completely disappeared into the bright rays of light . But everyone could sense that Emperor Yuanwu seemed to be expanding and growing taller and bigger .

Emperor Yuanwu’s body seemed to grow until it was as tall as the sky .

Emperor Chen of Han knew the final moment had come . He had no fear, only the joy of release on his face .

He took a deep breath . Borrowing the pressure of the energies that Emperor Yuanwu was giving off, he gathered all of the pill energies deep into his body . His body started to contract, like it was shrivelling . The red light on the surface of his body decreased .

As his presence pulled back, his body floated forward towards Emperor Yuanwu .

At this moment, Emperor Yuanwu’s halo of light was emitting an aggressive presence that seemed able to fend off gods and ghosts . The power at the tip of his shining blade surpassed the limits of what all cultivators present could comprehend and approached the ethereal path of heaven .

This sword seemed to have the power of the heavens, and could not be stopped by human power . Just facing this was difficult . However, Emperor Chen of Han’s body crashed towards the tip of the sword, his eyes flashing with a strange light .

Through the curtain of light, Emperor Yuanwu glanced at Emperor Chen of Han, his brows furrowed .

He sensed what Emperor Chen of Han was doing, however, this was his strongest moment . This ethereal sword that seemed to have the power of all life was one that even he could not change .

He swung the yellow sword forward, accompanied by inhuman power .

Dozens of feet away from the sword tip, Emperor Chen of Han’s body already showed hundreds of wounds .

Countless transparent blades seemed to fill the air and dance silently in front of the yellow sword . No pill energy seeped from Emperor Chen of Han’s wounds .

At this moment, he only turned his head, flashed an indiscernible smile and nodded at Yan Ying behind him .

His body was cut into countless pieces and scattered in this moment . The last emperor of a dynasty, in this brief moment, disappeared from the world .

And yet, an exceptionally hot crimson pill light crashed onto the tip of the yellow sword and exploded .

Boom!

The world shook .

All those around felt a mountain was pressing down . The cultivators who were closest to the battle, retched up blood .

The crimson pill fire rolled outwards like a meteor exploding . The piercing light invoked instinctual tears, but they still forced their eyes open, not wanting to miss a second .

Emperor Yuanwu felt there was an enormous mountain pressing towards him . The yellow sword in his hand dimmed slightly .

Back when Emperor Chen of Han had charged towards his sword, he had sensed the other was going to explode with the full power of the Heaven Stealing Pill . So his mind was absolutely calm, his presence shuddering slightly as he swung his sword even more aggressively .

The fierce pill fire was cut smoothly like two solid hemispheres, separating at his side before becoming numerous dragons of fire .

At this time, Yan Ying’s left thumb curved slightly and plucked in the air .

A dark and cold black sword light appeared in the raging air .

This black sword light was like a snapped zither string . Its origins were unknown and untraceable as its flew and accurately cut towards Emperor Yuanwu’s eyes .

Emperor Yuanwu had not dodged when he had faced the onslaught of fingers, but now, Emperor Yuanwu closed his eyes abruptly and bowed his head slightly .

A bang sounded at the corner of his left eye .

The moment the black sword light and his left eyebrow made contact, his body became an empty and vast world again . He was going to absorb the power of the black sword light into him . But everyone could clearly see a thread of blood seeping down from a wound on his left eyebrow .

His left eyebrow had been cut .

“Following the mind, untraceable …”

The emperor of Chu and some of the older people present could see that Yan Ying’s sword essence still came from that person . In the past, Yan Ying had cultivated with that person as the goal . He had spent unknown amounts of effort on grasping that person’s tactics .

At this time, no one knew if Yan Ying was purposefully angering Yuan Wu or he felt that this was the best tactic to use against his enemy . Even so,there was no time for anyone to consider this .

A black orchid bloomed on Yan Ying’s hand .

This black orchid seemed to be alive, giving off a greedy presence towards the blood spilling from Emperor Yuanwu’s brow . In the next moment, the black orchid disappeared into streams of black energy . They entered the blood, and the light around Emperor Yuanwu’s body .

Nobody was able to sense the kind of tactic Yan Ying was using at this moment . Many looked towards Emperor Yuanwu with anticipation, hoping to see him fall to the ground or retreat .

But Emperor Yuanwu only shook slightly .

The yellow sword in his hand still swung, he completed the swing to its fullest .

The space between him and Yan Ying twisted fiercely . With a loud crack, everything was completely separated .

Yan Ying’s body completely stopped . He frowned slightly and bowed his head calmly .

Emperor Yuanwu had put his sword away .

The lights falling from the sky started to fade; his enormous presence that felt taller than the sky, urgently shrank .

The front of Yan Ying’s body showed no abnormality . But as he bowed his head, a bright line of light appeared on his back .

Pew pew pew pew …

Dark yin energy shot out along this bright line of light .

Although the dark and heavy yin energy contained a mountain of power, all those around could sense a power, even stronger and more terrifying, flying through the world .

That was a sword light .

Someone looked towards the mountain peak opposite Deer Mountain that Emperor Yuanwu was facing . Someone finally understood that the sword light went through Yan Ying’s body in an attempt to force the power out of Yan Ying .

Now, the straight sword light landed on the opposing mountain peak .

That mountain suddenly shook .

A wave of dust shot out near the peak of the mountain . In the next moment, the mountain gave off numerous cracking sounds .

The cracking sounds gathered into a terrifying roar .

Everybody was shocked speechless .

Following the circle of dust, the mountain split into two . The enormous mountain peak slid backwards, colliding with the body of the mountain below and giving off an enormous sound no one had ever heard before .

The cut mountain was as smooth as a mirror .

That mountain had originally been taller than Deer Mountain . Now, the parts of it taller than Deer Mountain had been cut off by this sword strike and the peak was smoother than any flat land .

An enormous wave of dust rose .

Without the obstruction of the mountain, a wild wind surged from the back of the mountain . The dust was blown away, and their sights were no longer obstructed

To the read of that mountain was a flat river valley . Through this river valley, it was possible to attack the Chu, the Yan, or the Qi .

The yellow sword in Emperor Yuanwu’s hand disappeared .

He looked at Yan Ying who hung his head, looked at the shocked spectators, and the mountain he had flattened with a blow .

He said, “This Lonely One wants that mountain . ”
