Chapter 426: Chapter 426: He, the Sword is Very Beautiful Suddenly, the valley ahead shook violently. A giant python burst out of the ground. Three elders of the Li Clan rushed forward, wielding swords and spears. The python’s massive body trembled, sending the three elders flying. The python lowered its head, a silver horn atop its head emitting beams of silver light. Invisible rays like sword blades pursued the three elders. Two elders dodged swiftly, while the silver light cut through the mountains behind them like knives. One elder was too slow to evade, and was cut in half by the silver light. “The mount of Huang Zhengdao, the Single-horned Wild Python!” Li Feiyang shouted. “It wants to assist Huang Zhengdao!” Li Xueyi yelled, “King Xianning, go!” The King Xianning beneath them suddenly charged forward, with Lin Xiaosu and the others leaping off its back simultaneously. With a thunderous crash, the two behemoths collided. King Xianning’s sharp claws descended, creating a bloody gash on the python’s back. But the python twisted its massive body around King Xianning, a roll flattening a hillside. The masters battled desperately, as did their mounts. One king from the Li Clan, another from the Huang Clan, neither yielding to the other... Amid the chaos, an elder of the Huang Clan targeted Li Feiyang directly, as Li Feiyang let out a loud cry and joined the fray. Another Huang Clan elder sprang from the hill, leaping into the sky, claws spread like a famished tiger, aiming straight for Lin Xiaosu. “Here they come again, my elegance, my refinement...” Li Xueyi sighed helplessly, her body shaking as she transformed into a ball of fire to confront the threat. However, just as she left. A sharp claw cleaved through clouds and mist, targeting Lin Xiaosu directly. Li Xueyi noticed through the corner of her eye, her heart suddenly jolting. The size of this claw was wrong! It was four feet in diameter! This was a half-step Fourth Realm... “Darling, be careful...” she cried out. Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, grasping a long sword. Boom! An execution of Severing Emotion heavily struck the giant palm. In this strike, he was lifted off the ground, retreating ten yards away. Half-step Fourth Realm, translated into the Cultivation Path, it’s still not a half-step Enlightenment Realm but should be at the level of Heavenly Peeping Great Perfection, meaning this person’s cultivation and combat power is roughly on par with Kun Cang Feng Ji. Feng Ji sweeps across those beneath the Kun Cang Enlightenment Realm, acknowledged as the foremost beneath the Enlightenment Realm. Such combat prowess, Lin Xiaosu finally encountered it. Just one strike, and he was sent flying. The elder let out a roar, like a wailing ape, claws arriving again, spanning ten yards, reaching in an instant. Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, the long sword executing Severing Emotion once more. Boom! This time he flew even farther, bleeding from the tiger’s mouth, falling into the deep pool below. “Darling...” Li Xueyi could no longer hold back, flames erupting from her entire body, transforming into a lotus blossom, the lotus suddenly shaking, causing the elder entangled with her to explode entirely. She stomped underfoot, crushing a massive rock on the mountaintop into powder, her figure like an arrow leaving the string, transforming entirely into a blooming crimson lotus, shooting towards the deep pool below. In the deep pool, the water splashed up by Lin Xiaosu soared skyward. Above, a figure plunged down. His claws were twice the size of a millstone. Half-step Fourth Realm cultivation power. Descending strike stance. A fight to the death... All this seemed to affirm Lin Xiaosu faced the most perilous wave of attacks since he set out. However, Lin Xiaosu suddenly smiled. He gently raised his hand, the water from the deep pool ascending with the sword. Above, faint light illuminated, under its misty glow, this realm suddenly became like misty Jiangnan... Misty rain surged, centering around his hand. A gust of wind blew, and the elder plunging down suddenly became like a leaf in the wind. The fierce and unrivaled attack transformed into a breeze, brushing his face, the ferocity turning into intense fear... Poof! Blood arrows shot from his entire body simultaneously. His body disintegrated, flesh scattering. Lin Xiaosu spun around, taking a step out of the deep pool with an effortless and elegant gesture. A flash of fire in the sky, Li Xueyi descended, landing before him. Her face showed intense worry, suddenly replaced by disbelief; she gazed at the half-corpse floating and sinking in the pool, her chest gently rising and falling. “Darling, you...” “The battle continues, let’s go!” Lin Xiaosu smiled at her, soaring into the sky. The fight above was nearing its end, but the closer to the end, the more perilous it became. Experts faced true life-and-death struggles, and the revealed trump cards were beyond measure. Li Xueyi fought madly. Li Feiyang fought madly too. Occasionally, the two siblings collided, Li Feiyang startling upon seeing Li Xueyi: “Quick, you go take care of him!” “No need to worry, his sword... is beautiful!” Li Xueyi’s voice resonated amid the chaotic battle, reaching Li Feiyang’s ears, causing him to suspect his sister was losing her mind. What did she mean by the sword was beautiful? If you don’t take care of him, his corpse will surely not be beautiful... He couldn’t understand his sister. Because he hadn’t witnessed the Severing Emotion stroke of Lin Xiaosu. That stroke, Severing Emotion, was breathtakingly beautiful. Just one glance, and it’s impossible to forget the sword Dao charm engraved into one’s mind and soul. Li Xueyi had seen it once. She knew Lin Xiaosu’s Sword Dao doesn’t require the concern of others. Even against half-step Fourth Realm individuals, he could kill with a single sword strike. Who in the field could deliver a fatal blow to him? Unless it’s Huang Zhengdao! However, the battle on Huang Zhengdao’s side was the most intense of all. The three most terrifying warriors almost tore the valley apart... Huang Zhengdao was being beaten back by Li Qianqiu and the Great Elder of the Li Clan, who had the same cultivation as him. But he was someone who survived the Great Wilderness, and his battle instincts were stronger than anyone else’s. He was fighting like a madman, the kind who could drag down the Heavenly King himself in a fight to the death. Even though he was covered in countless wounds, his combat power only grew stronger. With a roar, he took a heavy blow from Li Qianqiu but suddenly grabbed the Great Elder. With a split of his hands, he tore the Great Elder in half. After a long battle, he finally killed an enemy. Unfortunately, he didn’t have time to celebrate as a golden long blade slashed across his neck. With that slash, Huang Zhengdao’s head flew high into the air. Bang! His head exploded in mid-air, and a mountain peak collapsed into ruins. The remaining dozen members of the Huang Clan elders shouted in unison, “Clan Leader...” Swoosh! Li Qianqiu’s right hand transformed into a long blade, and the head of the Great Wilderness King Python flew up. The King Xianning, who had been battling the python for a long time, soared into the sky, roaring angrily. The Huang Clan elders simultaneously retreated towards the valley behind them. Li Qianqiu stepped forward like a crashing mountain and stomped three people to death, blocking their retreat. The elder army of the Li Clan attacked from the rear, and ten top elders were instantly crushed into pulp. The last elder cast his gaze into the distance. The Huang Clan was within reach, yet, at this moment, it seemed as far away as the horizon. Even worse, a great number of elders had already arrived... Strike and reinforce, strike and reinforce... Which bastard came up with this plan? It’s truly infuriating. Swoosh! The horizontal long blade sent the head of the last elder flying. The top echelon of the Huang Clan was completely wiped out! Rumble! Three hundred giant beasts carried three hundred Huang Clan elders to the valley. Their momentum was like a rainbow, with a force that seemed to swallow the sky. Yet, when they saw beneath the mountain, that golden war god standing as if holding up the sky, and the four hundred Li Clan elders, their hearts skipped a beat. Where is our clan leader? Where is our top elder council? Oh god, they’re all gone... Without this top tier of strength, even three hundred elders couldn’t possibly match the opposition. Li Qianqiu cracked a broad grin, laughing heartily: “The strategy of my wise son-in-law, the third step, to overpower with strength, marvelous!” If on a normal day, Li Qianqiu uttered “wise son-in-law,” it would likely incite a storm of discussion among the elder council, leading the Li Clan to engage in a fierce debate for three days and nights over whether it was “appropriate” or “inappropriate”. But today, the elder council ignored this term altogether, and their hearts were filled only with ecstasy. The Huang Clan, a clan as renowned as the Li Clan. A long-standing shadow over the Li Clan, finally torn apart today! Three simple steps... “Annihilation!” Li Qianqiu raised a big hand, and the battle commenced... He stepped forth directly into the center of the elder army, trampling underfoot whether it was ancient ferocious beasts or blades and swords. The King Xianning soared into the sky, its massive form casting a shadow over the mountains and rivers below. The elder council surged forward, as if injected with adrenaline. A quarter of an hour! Half of the three hundred Huang Clan elders were slaughtered! Half an hour! All cleared out! “The fourth step, onto the main peak!” Li Qianqiu waved his hand, and the elder council charged towards the Huang Clan’s base. The top tier of the Huang Clan had already been wiped out, leaving only three things to do: conquer, conquer, and damn it, conquer some more... In the final battle, the Li siblings and Lin Xiaosu did not participate. On the mountain peak, Li Feiyang slowly withdrew his gaze from the distance: “Clan war, can really be played like this?” There was no answer. Beside him, Li Xueyi seemed a bit entranced staring in one direction. In that direction stood someone, Lin Xiaosu. In his hand was a piece of black bamboo, what was known as Ten Thousand Years Void Bamboo. It grew underground, without leaves. Unlike any ordinary bamboo, in fact quite the opposite: its growth rate was incredibly slow. It couldn’t even grow a section in a hundred years. Yet in this valley, there stood one with a hundred sections. What does that indicate? It indicates it has grown for at least ten thousand years. “This brother here, his flute was shattered by Huang Zhengdao. It seems he wants to craft a new one. I’m curious whether the tune he wishes to play now is ‘Floating Clouds Disperse’!” Li Feiyang chuckled lightly. There are no seasons underground. No day or night underground. But every race has its own way of measuring day and night. Take the Long Ear Clan for instance, when the young women in the tribe meticulously comb their hair and tidy the fur on the tips of their ears, it’s roughly considered morning. The clan leader looked at a young beauty beside him, full of admiration. This skin, this hair quality, this figure, he couldn’t imagine which young man would benefit from it in the future. Why does she become more beautiful as she grows? Is this what they call a father’s unique vision? Suddenly, her adorable little ears perked up. Under her small ears, her vibrant eyes stared in one direction... Following her gaze, the clan leader was shocked. Someone had leapt over the Clear Water River ahead. The Clear Water River was very sacred; who would dare jump over it mindlessly? And when he looked closer at the person, he was even more startled, Great Elder! The usually steady and mature Great Elder was crossing the river with leaps; moreover, with the next leap, he reached the mountainside, and with another, he was at his palace’s entrance. “Something’s wrong! Something major!” his young daughter Er Yan’er gently exhaled.
