Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Who dug this Hole
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Along with Zong Shou’s words, a giant sword formed in his mind, its strength was even higher and more intense, the ice blue sword body giving off a cold light.
Zong Shou was instantly speechless, dissing in his heart, -How is this the Cloud Shocking God Destroying Sword? It should be the Mysterious Ice Sword?-
Watching the sharp sword stab over, Zong Shou’s brow furrowed as he laughed coldly, “Discussing sword techniques using the mouth is just a war of words. Since the Fairy says your sword intent is the true Cloud Shocking God Destroying technique, then why don’t I compete with you to see whose is better!”
Not saying anything more, another chess piece landed, flying into the top right corner. In front of Zong Shou’s eyes another sword formed. This one was controlled by him, like the clouds and like fog, looking illusionary and ethereal. That mysterious giant ice sword was struck by the high speed flowing ice and numerous holes appeared in it. Important structures on the sword spine were on the verge of collapsing.
Before the sword was able to recover, the giant foggy cloud sword slashed over with a sha-sha sound.
In this clash of swords, that giant mysterious ice sword pretty much collapsed and broke into many pieces without much surprise.
That cloudy fog sword still had some remaining energy and after making a spin, it slashed towards the opposite side.
It was obviously like a cloud, but its aura filled the skies, like it was extremely sharp!
Taiyuan Fairy Shui Lingbo’s expression instantly changed. She immediately placed down another chess piece on the chess board, forcing that fog sword to dissipate!
She looked in disbelief at the opposite side of the chess board. She originally thought that the clash before would end in a stalemate, but who knew that she would lose so terribly!
Although this second chess piece had successfully negated Zong Shou’s attacks, once she placed this piece down she had already lost…
This half-monster teen had actually really comprehended the Essence and profound points of the Cloud Shocking God Destroying sword intent!
Even without the cultivation method of this sword technique, when he used the cloud sword its strength was be no lower than the Cloud Shocking God Destroying sword!
Yan Fan smiled widely, the smile on his old face pretty much like that of a flower. He coldly looked at the Taiyuan Fairy, killing intent hidden within, the thought of killing and snatching before running entering his mind. However, he felt that it wasn’t appropriate at this time and temporarily shelved the thought.
Looking at the chess board, his heart moved as he placed another chess piece heavily on the board.
“This game has ended, the Prince’s words have also helped us solve our qualms. A few chess pieces displaying all the mysteries behind the sword intent. As what my nephew said, your sword is one with your spirit! However, Taiyuan Fairy and I still have some questions about this sword path. Will Prince help us solve it?”
When his words landed, Zong Shou felt like the world he was in had totally changed.
He was in a narrow cave, to his left and right were thick stone walls. Below him was magma, which could melt everything, while above was an intense wind that could rip everything to shreds.
Around his body were many Yin spirits, numerous sword glows striking him, like they were about to swallow him up and cut him into pieces.
He couldn’t help but grind his teeth. He knew that this was the method of a spirit master at the True Image Realm, using soul to bring his consciousness into this illusion.
It was real, like one was in the situation themselves!
Chuxue didn’t know about the changes, only seeing that Yan Fan had taken another turn, angrily saying, “You all took another turn! How can you cheat!?”
Yan Fan smiled and didn’t speak, while Shui Lingbo glared at him. However, she was also really excited to see how Zong Shou would react.
Before this they were just testing Zong Shou’s sword path talent and that was enough to get full marks. No, double or quadruple marks!
Now what they were testing was his heart realm. The path of martial cultivation was like a mountain path towards the peak. The further one got the tougher it was. Above there were dangerous cliffs, while below were abysses tens of thousands of feet deep, just like the illusion that Zong Shou was facing now.
She was also curious how such a Dual Meridian Body, barrier from Heaven, immensely talented in the sword, unparalleled genius half-monster of a teen would react. It was something that they looked forward to…
Opposite that chess board, Zong Shou held onto a chess piece with his hand, sweat watering his shirt like a fountain.
Within the cave, facing those fierce spirits and knife images, Zong Shou momentarily lost focus and thought back to his last life.
The barrier from Heaven that restricted him for half his life, taking his revenge after he succeeded in the martial path. The millions of battles in the virtual environment as well as the dangers he faced on real life. Him going all out to climb to the peak of martial cultivation…
If he took any wrong step at all he would fall into Hell. Even if he tried his best to climb upwards, it was more likely he would fall under the might of the heartless heavens and be buried in the ground.
-How could such small obstacles and dangers stop me! How could it stop the head of the Seven Emperors of the Cloud World, Sword Emperor Tanqiu!-
Scoffing coldly, the confidence in Zong Shou’s chest rolled like the waves, a resilient, unwavering spirit to charge up into the heavens.
In this life so what if he had dual meridians, barriers from Heaven and that his soul was broken?
He would descend on this world and climb to the peak once again!
When his hand laid down on the chess board once more, he only felt a strong restrictive force and many external forces trying to hold him back and move his hand away.
But the white chess piece on his fingertip seemed to be sentient as it avoided them all flexibly. It smacked heavily right into the center of the entire board.
With a soft sound the nearby spiritual energy soared. In the end the many chess pieces on the board couldn’t take it and flew away, scattering all around.
On the chess board, only that white piece laid quietly in the middle of those nineteen criss-crossing lines.
It was like someone saying, “I am the only master of this chess board!”
The shore of the small lake was totally silent.
Totally not related to the sword path, everyone around this chess board were startled and silent because of the spirit which exploded out from Zong Shou.
“The fog seems to have dissipated to a large extent!”
Tens of miles away, Li Yunniang raised her head and looked at the sky. The fog had been growing denser and then suddenly thinner, giving them a huge headache.
Only now did it slowly show signs of dissipating. A few minutes ago they couldn’t see their fingers when they stretched out their hands. Now they were able to see a couple hundred feet out from where they were standing.
Xuanyuan Yiren frowned, and suddenly stood still, her expression solemn as she looked ahead.
Li Yunniang followed closely behind and stopped too. When she saw the scene in front of her, she let out a head full of cold sweat.
Beneath that rumbling and flipping fog was a giant hole, bottomless like a hundred-thousand-foot cliff.
“Why is there a hole here? Luckily Little Miss reacted quickly, or we would have fallen into it!”
Xuanyuan Yiren kept silent and didn’t reply, looking at the hole. Li Yunniang was startled, and just as she wanted to observe carefully, as expected this hole was thousands of feet deep. A young man’s voice called out, “Is there anyone there? There is, right? I heard your voice! I am Zong Ling from Gantian Mountain, the brother of the next Monster King, Zong Shi! Pull me up, if you do my Gantian Mountain will reward you!…”
Xuanyuan Yiren blinked her eyes and exchanged glances with Xuanyuan Yiren. The latter frowned while showing a doubtful look, “It’s him? Didn’t this Zong Ling have some Xiantian experts by his side and is also a Mythic Master Realm expert? This hole is just five hundred feet deep, why can’t he climb out of it?”
Looking carefully down, the fog at this point had dissipated further. The walls of the pit were actually bright and slippery. What was terrifying was that there was a layer of oil on them.
Li Yunniang couldn’t help but feel a shiver down her spine. So this hole wasn’t natural, but someone dug it out. Who was so vicious? Once one fell in, how would one be able to get out?
She heard Zong Ling curse, “Why are there so many soil eel snakes? Disgusting! Oi, did the person on top hear me? Why are you not pulling me out?”
The fog dissipated further. When Li Yunniang looked down, a feeling of disgust rose in her heart. There were numerous earth-brown dirt eels and small snakes squirming around. A few people were trapped below. They tried to jump up, but they always slipped down the stone cliff.
One of them had sharp eyes and seemed to see the people at the top, shouting loudly, “Is that Princess Xuanyuan Yiren and Li Yunniang from Xuan Mountain City? I am Gantian Mountain Feng Xiao, my Young Master is cousins with the Prince! Please give face to the Prince and save us!”
Xuanyuan Yiren laughed without making a sound, too lazy to even say a word. After she looked around, she said expressionlessly, “The fog has started to dissipate, let’s return!” Without any hesitation, they turned around and left.
Zong Ling immediately got anxious and cursed out, “You dare to not save me? Once my brother becomes Monster King, he will destroy your Xuan Mountain City! If not for us protecting you, your city would have been destroyed long ago! Do you think your trash of a fiancé can protect you? Sooner or later my brother will behead him and parade him! Stupid brat, if you dare to not save me, I will make you my concubine and torture you day and night…”
Originally Xuanyuan Yiren didn’t care, but when she heard more, her brow furrowed. She walked back, just as Zong Ling was ecstatic and Li Yunniang was shocked. Xuanyuan Yiren took out some powder and sprinkled it down. She then rubbed her hands and left once.
Li Yunniang found it weird and hurried along, asking curiously, “Little Miss, what was that powder?”
Xuanyuan Yiren smiled as she heard that, casually shaking her head, “Nothing much, just a fire scale powder that will make those eels drill holes.”
Li Yunniang was startled, and felt goosebumps on her body. So her Little Miss did have times when she was scheming and vicious…
Within that hole, Zong Ling was scolding out crazily, “Who the f*** dug this hole? How vicious, wait for me to get out and I will definitely kill him! Ah, damn it! Why do these dirt eels know how to dig holes…”
