Chapter 95 - 92 Uninvited Guest

Chapter 95: Chapter 92 Uninvited Guest"Not good!" Ye Xuan’s face drastically changed, but before he could react, those dozen Earth-grade treasure swords were already piercing through the air directly towards him, aiming to run him through the heart with a thousand swords. In this dire moment, Ye Xuan’s figure shifted, and the Spiritual Edge Sword in his hand seemed to wriggle for an instant before he fiercely swung it out, suddenly meeting those dozen Earth-grade treasure swords. Ding ding dang dang! Once the Spiritual Edge Sword was in action, it moved like a nimble serpent in Ye Xuan’s hands. As Ye Xuan’s figure spun, any Earth-grade treasure swords that collided with the Spiritual Edge Sword immediately snapped in two, falling to the ground dimmed and lifeless. The aura of the Spiritual Edge Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand, meanwhile, swiftly grew stronger from barely noticeable to overwhelmingly powerful as if it had absorbed the strength of those dozen Earth-grade treasure swords, its edge becoming incredibly sharp. Put put put! The pressing Sword Qi shot out directly from the blade, hitting the ground near the small hill and leaving smooth-edged pits. All the swords in the Sword Tomb trembled and buzzed at this moment, with Sword Qi from all directions converging upon the Spiritual Edge Sword. There were three thousand swords hidden within the Sword Tomb, but now, the three thousand treasure swords buried in the tomb appeared to be kneeling in submission before the Spiritual Edge Sword, offering up their sword energies, which the Spiritual Edge Sword mightily absorbed. Silently, one blade after another turned to dust, scattering into nothingness. The might of the Heavenly Grade treasure sword was fully displayed without a doubt. An extraordinary Sword Qi, as if breaking the constraints of the Sword Tomb, churned a swirling vortex above the center of the nine interlinked peaks. "That Sword Sect’s Ying Xuan, when he established this Sword Tomb to entomb the Spiritual Edge Sword, also aimed to nurture the sword. We don’t know how much time has passed, but the power of this Spiritual Edge Sword is probably not weaker than before it was entombed; in fact, it might be even stronger." Witnessing this sight, Ye Xuan naturally understood the intentions of the Sword Sect’s Ying Xuan—the purpose of the Sword Tomb was to bury the swords but also to nourish them. Although Ying Xuan himself had perished, the Spiritual Edge Sword had been passed down with even greater power than before. "With this Spiritual Edge Sword, once my strength recovers to its full potential, I will be capable of battling a Half-step Martial Sect." Ye Xuan lightly swung the treasure sword in his hand; even without resorting to the Blood Demon Body Sacrifice Skill, he wouldn’t need to retreat when facing Jun Bufan and Wei Tong anymore. However, the Spiritual Edge Sword, after all, was a Heavenly Grade treasure sword; every swing would consume a vast amount of True Qi. Ye Xuan estimated that with his current Cultivation level, he could at most swing it twice—the third swing would definitely not be possible. "If the Sword Qi within this Sword Tomb could be fully absorbed by the Spiritual Edge Sword, there would certainly be significant benefits. These next few days, I’ll stay here in the Sword Tomb to recuperate and restore my Cultivation." The Sword Qi within the Sword Tomb was incredibly rich. Ye Xuan planned to let the Spiritual Edge Sword absorb it for a few more days, and once he had absorbed most of the Sword Qi in the tomb, he would consider leaving. Moreover, since the Sword Tomb was located underground, it was a rather safe place, so staying a few extra days wouldn’t hurt. With that in mind, Ye Xuan found a relatively clean spot in the Sword Tomb to sit cross-legged, then closed his eyes to rest and recuperate. ... However, Ye Xuan was unaware that the emergence of the Spiritual Edge Sword had already caused quite a disturbance in the outside world. Although this was deep within the Panlong Mountain, that did not mean that the commotion had gone unnoticed. Swoosh! Outside, in the central region of the interlinked nine peaks, a brawny man in blue attire appeared. After a brief scan of the surroundings, he approached the small mound. "The Sword Qi fluctuation just now seemed to originate from here, didn’t it?" A look of uncertainty flashed in the eyes of the man in blue, but he quickly noticed the inscriptions on top of the mound, and his face lit up with joy. "Sword Tomb? Swords buried in a Sword Tomb would at least be of Heavenly Grade." As the smile on his lips grew more intense, the man in blue wore an expression as though he had found a great treasure. In the Tiannan Region, Heavenly Grade weapons were rare, and judging by the aura released by the Spiritual Edge Sword just now, the swords inside this Sword Tomb were no ordinary Heavenly Grade swords. "Normally, a sword buried in the Sword Tomb wouldn’t release any aura, unless it has found a new master." The man in blue appeared contemplative, quickly figuring out the situation, then a mocking smile spread across his face, "In this Panlong Mountain Range, apart from myself, no other Demon Beasts have taken human form. It must have been a human who broke in to hunt for treasure on my territory. Such daring humans, they must be tired of living." A cruel smile crept onto the corners of his mouth as the man in green pressed a mechanism on the stone door. As soon as the door swung open, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed in. At that time, Ye Xuan was still inside the Sword Tomb, meditating with his eyes closed. However, suddenly, he "swooshed" open his eyes and looked toward the direction of the Sword Tomb’s corridor. An extremely mighty aura was approaching from the direction of the corridor entrance. In his line of sight, the silhouette of a burly figure could already be vaguely made out. "This is bad." A sense of heaviness sunk into Ye Xuan’s heart. The aura emanating from the burly figure was mixed with monstrously violent demonic power fluctuations, profound and immeasurable, at least of the Martial Sect Level. However, he was much stronger than the likes of Jun Zhantian and Xie Guangbo, perhaps on par with Ye Mei. All signs indicated that this man in green was most likely the Third Rank Demon Beast that dwelled deep within the Panlong Mountain range! "My luck really can’t get any worse." Ye Xuan’s expression turned ugly. There was only one Third Rank Demon Beast in the entire Panlong Mountain range, and he had the bad luck of running into it. Had he known this would happen, he would have left as soon as he got the Spiritual Edge Sword. Now that he had been discovered by this Third Rank Demon King, he had brought a huge problem upon himself. "Haha, it’s actually a little human lad. This really is business coming to my door." It seemed that the man in green had also spotted Ye Xuan’s figure from a distance, as his laughter could be heard, clearly not taking Ye Xuan seriously in the slightest. "Demon King, the treasure sword belongs to the one fated for it. You barging in like this and bullying a human junior, isn’t that a bit beneath your stature?" Facing the man in green who revealed himself, Ye Xuan quickly regained his composure and spoke deliberately calmly. "Fated one?" The man in green’s mouth curled up in mockery, "Since you’ve encountered me, it proves you are not the one fated for the sword, I am. Because once I kill you, the sword naturally becomes mine." "How about I give you the sword, and you let me go?" Ye Xuan said indifferently. "That won’t do. What if you little brat has some background? If I let you go, wouldn’t I be releasing a tiger back to the mountain, causing trouble for myself? Better to kill you and have done with it." The man in green revealed a cruel grin. "So no matter what, I can’t escape death today?" Ye Xuan frowned. "Kid, rest assured, I’m always quick with my killings, I’ll make sure you die swiftly!" With that said, the man in green no longer wasted words with Ye Xuan. He forcefully stamped the ground, then let out a strange roar, pouncing toward Ye Xuan like a ferocious beast. "If you want my life, I’m afraid you don’t have the capability!" Ye Xuan’s eyes hardened as he saw the man in green pouncing like a starving tiger. He quickly flipped his palm and pulled out the Beast Soul Token that Ye Mei had left him, channeling True Qi into it. Roar! Accompanied by an angry roar that echoed through the air, rays of light burst forth from the Beast Soul Token. A semi-transparent giant python materialized from the converging light, opening its mouth to bite at the man in green. "Huh?" Surprised by the sudden appearance of the giant python’s soul, the man in green’s expression shifted slightly, though not to the point of embarrassment. He merely changed his attacking move, formed seals with his hands, and ferociously slammed them toward the python’s head. Taking advantage of the Beast Soul Token temporarily restraining the man in green, Ye Xuan quickly placed the Spiritual Edge Sword into his Qiankun Ring. Then, he moved towards the entrance of the Sword Tomb and escaped from the tomb. "Kid, don’t even think about running!" The man in green let out a furious shout, as a terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from him, pressing down even the Demon Soul of the giant python, which he then punched flying. He followed up with a series of punches, increasing in power, completely dispersing the Demon Soul of the giant python. After defeating the giant python Demon Soul, the man in green rapidly changed direction, streaking out like lightning, hot on the heels of the fleeing Ye Xuan.
