Chapter 1018 -312: Sword that Breaks Mountains

As the Saint Child of the Wang Clan of the South, deciphering the hearts of people was a skill etched into Wang Chan’s very bones. He understood that the believers of the Wuyi Sect were fools, and he also recognized their common weakness: fragility.

Either they were outrageously arrogant, dismissing everything around them, or they became utterly disheartened upon facing setbacks, unable to find a stable equilibrium between these two extreme states of emotion.

Such people were easily led and comforted. After Wang Wei’s emotive performance, the followers of the Wuyi Sect regained their spirits.

No one mentioned the failure at Ghost King Mountain anymore; instead, they embarked on a second round of regrouping for conquest, tucking away their failure and amassing strength to reclaim what they had lost in a month’s time. Thus, their methods became even more brutal.

If things went smoothly, it would indeed happen as Wang Wei had anticipated: a month later, the Wuyi Sect, with its core members unscathed, would replenish its troops and launch a renewed assault on Ghost King Ridge, delivering the final blow to the already faltering major powers.

But everything changed because of a young swordsman.

July of the year 1785, Longzhou

As a wanderer of the Xu Clan from Yuanzhou, the elder Xu Ying, with sword in hand, paid homage to the mountains. In his eyes, whether old or young, as long as one wore the Wuyi Sect’s garb, they would be killed. Under the sword intent of the myriad ways of heaven, not one could withstand a single blow.

It wasn’t until a Yin-Yang Array Diagram blocked countless invisible sword qi of the innate body-breaking type, saving a group of python soldiers, that he was halted.

Wang Wei, wearing his regal crown, stood before Elder Xu Ying and said coldly to the murderous swordsman of the Xu Clan, “Elder Xu Ying, you come to Hui Ling Mountain and kill upon encountering humans. Is this the upbringing of Yuanzhou’s Xu Clan?”

The Xu Clan of the South was mixed with different bloodlines and, apart from the traditional martial arts, also had notable accomplishments in armoring, charm arts, array magic, and astrological studies. Wang Chan, an old friend of the clan, specialized in charm arts and had no skill in creating arrays with a mere wave of his hand. Thus, clearly, this man before him was the array adept, Wang Wei.

Since it wasn’t his old friend, Elder Xu Ying naturally had no concept of courtesy and shouted, “Crossing the nether to enter the void, the Holy Body at will, sword come!”

The Emperor’s Void Phoenix Divine Sword, ablaze with golden flames, leapt from the sword ruins into the young swordsman’s hand. In a moment, the sword intent erupted mightily, slicing through the Yin-Yang Array Diagram with a single word.

Elder Xu Ying, holding his long sword and with a cold expression, raised it to point the tip at Wang Wei’s crown and said coldly, “The Xu Clan’s upbringing is to wield the sword and eradicate injustice in the world! Today, Elder Xu Ying will ensure the Wuyi Sect is eradicated from this earth. If you wish to stop me, feel free to try!”

Wang Wei raised an eyebrow and replied in kind, “Raving mad for no reason! You call for violence without cause, and you think just by yourself you can destroy our holy sect? Do you really believe that just because the world hails you as the Young Saint King, you’re the number one under the heavens?”

If this had happened unexpectedly in the wilderness, any formation master faced with a murderous Xu Clan swordsman would naturally retreat three feet. But now this encounter was at the gate of Hui Ling Mountain, where both the human spirit and earth spirit arrays were fully prepared. Even Wang Wei, as a Grandmaster, was confident enough for a battle and wouldn’t step back an inch.

With both hands coming together to form a mystical seal, countless array patterns and symbols rose from beneath Hui Ling Mountain, transforming into a cage that trapped them both. In an instant, all the Heavenly and Earthly Qi within the array was drawn out, leaving an immense gravitational force weighing down on Elder Xu Ying, causing his figure to involuntarily sink.

“Leave now, and in light of Wang Chan’s face, I can forgive and forget. But if you persist, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

After forming his hand seals and setting up the array, Wang Wei didn’t immediately attack but instead issued a final warning to Elder Xu Ying.

But Elder Xu Ying, who had already resolved to avenge Zhaba Earth Stockade, wasn’t about to be deterred by a few offhanded remarks. With the Emperor’s Void Phoenix Divine Sword, he tore through the sword domain, softly invoking the Dragon King’s true name of the Xuangjin Dragon Soul Armor.

Countless remnants of divine swords turned into a sea of swords, emerging from the sword domain with Dragon King’s golden flames tempering them, forming a seemingly endless golden river of swords.

Wang Wei hadn’t anticipated Elder Xu Ying’s ferocity and his complexion underwent a drastic change. He hastily set up an array to defend, but the combination of two divine artifacts was not something that hastily gathered Spiritual Power in a formation could contend with.

Numerous array patterns had barely risen from Hui Ling Mountain before being extinguished by the sword light. After struggling to defend for a while, the Earth Spirit Array Wang Wei had set up was breached. The entire mountain gate was struck by the golden sword river, and explosions were incessant to the ear. The whole Hui Ling Mountain trembled as if it was the end of days.

Having broken through the Earth Spirit Array, Elder Xu Ying then called forth the true form of the Xuangjin Dragon Soul Armor and merged twelve types of sword intent to form the Xuanting Fierce Sun Sword, the Cold Moon Clear Xiao Sword, the Red Demon Magma Sword, and the Yin-Yang Heavy Water Sword!

The Xuangjin Dragon Soul Armor, with a sword in each of its four claws, wielded spirit swords several zhang long. Whether rocks or grass, all were reduced to powder. And Elder Xu Ying, protected by the Dragon Soul Armor in the center, wasn’t idle either. His hands waved continuously, and countless invisible sword qi mingled with the sword intent of all heavens moved back and forth precisely striking against the stragglers of the Wuyi Sect.

The Emperor’s Void Phoenix Sword in the sky transformed into a golden phoenix circling overhead, dropping countless indestructible golden flame blossoms and setting Hui Ling Mountain ablaze with a raging fire.

The followers of the Wuyi Sect who had never seen such a horrifying scene were scampering for their lives. That golden dragon wielding swords and the golden phoenix in the sky seemed like life-taking specters to the followers of the Wuyi Sect.

Even Wang Wei’s calls were ignored by them. In truth, had they been able to form into ranks, and with the aid of Wang Wei’s formation, they might have had the strength to fight against the Divine Dragon and Phoenix. However, overwhelmed by this towering power, the large Wuyi Sect mountain gate was thrown into complete chaos, causing a rapid collapse. The followers, who had only just begun to rebuild their courage, fled for their lives.

Knowing the situation was beyond redemption, Wang Wei’s face turned ashen. He knew the Wuyi Sect in Beimang was finished. Elder Xu Ying’s disruption meant Wang Wei’s half a year of effort had turned to naught. To regroup, he would need to find new pillars of support.

“If it’s a fight you want, then fight me you shall!”

Having lost his reason, Wang Wei didn’t bother to conceal his identity anymore. He called forth the true name of the Divine Armor; the number one Divine Armor of the southern heavens, the Nirvana Feathered Robe, instantly covered him. The colorful feathers at his back turned into chains that, with a single strike, restrained the rampaging sword-wielding golden dragon and even shattered the spiritual swords within the dragon’s four claws!

With the array pumped again, Wang Wei locked the sky with the Suppressing Spirit Array, severing the spiritual connection between Elder Xu Ying and the Emperor’s Void Phoenix Divine Sword. Without the steady supply of Spiritual Power, the golden phoenix couldn’t maintain its true form for long, let alone continue to spew golden flames, and was forced back into its divine sword form, flying back to Elder Xu Ying’s hands.

Elder Xu Ying, divine sword in hand, didn’t hesitate for a moment. He raised his hand and struck repeatedly, and streaks of golden light passed, severing the colorful feathers binding the golden dragon.

With each feather cut, a shock wave equivalent to a top-tier mystical clash ensued. The explosion and fierce wind were blocked by the Divine Armor, but the recoil was something Elder Xu Ying had to bear himself.

Thus, after the seventh sword strike, Elder Xu Ying felt his internal energies churn and even his sword-wielding right hand began to tremble involuntarily.
