Chapter 869: Chapter 869

For thirty years I’ve sought the swordsman, several times leaves fall and branches sprout anew.

Since I first saw the peach blossoms, until today, there is no more doubt.

Thirty years ago, the contest between the Xie Family Divine Sword and the Demon Sword Bone Poison resounded throughout the Martial World.

That battle, praised as a myth, was supposed to end in Xie Xiaofeng’s defeat.

Yet, firstly, Xie Xiaofeng had saved Yan Shisan’s life.

Secondly, Yan Shisan did not want the fifteenth variation of his Life-taking Thirteen Swords to remain in the world, so he chose to die under his own fifteenth sword.

Although Xie Xiaofeng did not perish by that sword, he understood Yan Shisan’s intentions and thus severed his own thumbs, so he could no longer wield a sword, willingly hiding away in the Hidden Sword Hut!

This truly illustrates a saying: "To become the top expert in the world, besides excelling in swordsmanship, one must have a magnanimous spirit."

Now, with the Life-taking Thirteen Swords once again manifested in Xie Xiaofeng’s hands, it has become stronger, faster, and more destructive.

But Xie Xiaofeng has yet to directly unleash the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Sword.

He still hesitates and is unwilling in his heart.

If Jiang Dali can choose to give up after experiencing the damage of the thirteen swords.

Or if he has already succeeded in questioning the saber, then he need not use the Fifteenth Sword, which even he may not be able to control now.

The Thirteen Swords, condensed with endless killing intent, its sword light densely packed, as if a strong wind blew.

Like a sky full of clouds gathering towards Jiang Dali, carrying endless desolation, as if in an instant entering the bleak and chilling autumn.

In front of Jiang Dali was nothing but suffocating sword light like dark clouds about to submerge him, even the Vajra Immortal Yang God faced unprecedented killing intent and pressure.

Yet he saw light, hope, and even more variations from this overwhelming sword light of death.

In the past, the Yun family had handed him the sword manual of the Life-taking Thirteen Swords, though he never learned the thirteen swords, its many changes and sword intent he understood thoroughly.

The Life-taking Thirteen Swords performed by Xie Xiaofeng would certainly be more exquisite, flexible, and formidable than what’s written in the sword manual.

But this degree alone was no challenge to Jiang Dali, he even saw through the hints of the Fourteenth Sword through its variations.

There came a prompt on the panel.

"You have attained sudden enlightenment during the battle with Xie Xiaofeng, you have entered battle enlightenment state..."

"Xie Xiaofeng, these thirteen swords are not enough!"

Jiang Dali did not dodge, the Yang God Power transformed into a trajectory like a golden dragon crossing the sky, his heart realm swiftly entered a passionate state.

The blazing golden Saber Qi surged sharply.

Like a bolt of lightning crossing the long sky.

This glorious sword light pierced through the dense cloud-like Life-taking Thirteen Swords, forming dragon-shaped Saber Qi like a cone.

Heavenly Reversing Divine Intent Saber—Golden Dragon Breaking the Sky!

The blazing sword light, augmented by the passionate heart realm, seemed to truly transform into a living golden dragon, breaking through the sword light to devour Xie Xiaofeng.

If the Life-taking Thirteen Swords are a sword filled with killing intent and death.

Then the Golden Dragon Breaking the Sky is a blade filled with emotion and vitality.

This is a confrontation of life and death.

The clash of saber and sword.

Seeing that the grand blade like a golden dragon was about to devour Xie Xiaofeng’s Yin God.

Xie Xiaofeng solemnly changed his momentum, amidst the crumbling sword light, the Yang God slowly stabbed out another sword.

This sword seemed slow yet was quick, as if divinely inspired. Read full story at NoveI(F)ire.net

Original after the thirteenth sword was stabbed out.

All changes seemed exhausted bringing forth a new change.

Like water reaching its end, mountain path reaching its peak, life to death, reaching the end ought to finish.

But if life after death, then the end of death also reveals new hope.

This hope, is the Fourteenth Sword!

Once the Fourteenth Sword emerges, it seems like all dark clouds are parted, sunlight is revealed.

It isn’t the warm and gentle sunshine, but the blazing sun, red as blood at sunset.

This is nearly the ultimate state of mundane swordsmanship.

However, Jiang Dali had previously seen through this sword’s state.

Just like Xie Xiaofeng once saw Yan Shisan’s Fourteenth Sword, and had also perceived there should be a Fifteenth Sword after the Fourteenth Sword.

In the moment the Golden Dragon Breaking Sky Style was shattered by this more vigorous sword light rising like a fiery wheel.

Jiang Dali fully released Yang God Power into the saber.

A blade struck furiously.

The saber light like dazzling lightning blue streaked rapidly, huge thunderous sounds crackled, tightening people’s hearts.

Heavenly Reversing Divine Intent Saber—Great Sun Heavenly Thunder!

Within the heart realm of sword and saber, a storm erupted as if thunderstorm rained.

A sudden storm swept open.

Both Jiang Dali and Xie Xiaofeng’s static bodies suddenly trembled lightly.

In the players’ astonished gaze.

Reductions to damage and Qi-Blood signals suddenly appeared above Jiang Dali and Xie Xiaofeng’s heads.

On another side of Sword Peak, Ding Peng’s expression abruptly became immensely solemn, the Crescent Moon Saber in his hand suddenly released astonishing demon nature.

His pupils shrank rapidly as he stood, a shiver shot up his spine, his scalp tightened sensing an incredibly intense crisis.

This crisis was something he had felt when earlier sparring with Xie Xiaofeng.

But that was a completely different feeling, an unstoppable vast momentum, like raging waves coming at the shore—a Heavenly Sword at the edge of the sea.

Yet now, what Ding Peng felt was nigh hopeless dead silence.

No change, no vitality, as if life after death still couldn’t escape another death, a cycle of life and death, the end of life ultimately is death.

No matter what, all is death!

The Fifteenth Life-taking Sword, is the final sword, the sword of death!

In the sword and saber spirit realm where Jiang Dali and Xie Xiaofeng exist.

Whether it’s Xie Xiaofeng or Jiang Dali.

Both are engulfed in intense terror.

This terror was born the instant the Fifteenth Life-taking Sword appeared.

Even someone as strong-minded as Jiang Dali was involuntarily terrified.

Because as the Fifteenth Sword emerged, he realized that all previous sword and saber clashes had lost their meaning.

In the face of death, all things have lost their meaning.

The Fifteenth Life-taking Sword is death itself.

Even Xie Xiaofeng, who pierced with the power of the Yang God, began to feel terror, just like Yan Shisan thirty years ago when he unleashed this sword.

He originally thought that after comprehending the Heavenly Sword Realm, using the Fifteenth Life-taking Sword today, he should barely be able to control this sword.

But now that this sword is unleashed, he realizes he was wrong.

The Fifteenth Life-taking Sword is a sword of life after death, death after life, and life again after death.

A sword that leaves no room for retreat, representing death itself.

This sword is already comparable to the realm of the Heavenly Sword but is even harder to control.

Because the power of life can be controlled, but the power of death leaves no room for control.

Jiang Dali originally wanted to use the Fourth Strike, Heavenly River Mighty Flow, to resist.

But as soon as the Fifteenth Life-taking Sword emerged, he realized the spirit realm seemed to be locked down.

His Yang God, spirit, and thoughts, even his body and True Qi on the Sword Peak, were completely locked, incomparably sluggish, hard to move, unable even to enter the Golden Bell Unbreakable Body state.

This is simply an unimaginable sword.

It sealed the enemy’s essence, Qi, and spirit the moment the sword was unleashed.

An unprecedented life-and-death crisis emerged in Jiang Dali’s mind.

The world seemed to have come to a standstill.

In the mental world constructed by the two Yang Gods, only the sword in Xie Xiaofeng’s hand was still moving.

With this sword moving like a dragon devouring everything, the spiritual realm constructed by the two was collapsing, shrinking, as if all the power and vitality in the world had been crazily plundered by this sword representing death!

Xie Xiaofeng’s thoughts violently fluctuated, his spirit letting out an all-out scream, desperately wanting to stop this sword.

Thirty years ago, Yan Shisan also stabbed with such a sword, also chose to forcibly stop it like Xie Xiaofeng but couldn’t, ultimately willing to perish under this sword.

And now, Xie Xiaofeng faces the same scene, wanting to stop it too.

But now his strength is indeed far more powerful than Yan Shisan’s thirty years ago.

Thirty years ago, Yan Shisan could only use death to stop this sword, now Xie Xiaofeng, to stop this sword, might have to self-detonate his Yang God.

The cold and deathly-intense spiritual sword edge pierced into the body constructed by Jiang Dali’s Yang God.

A wave of intense pain, originating from his mind and spirit, spread like a shock across Jiang Dali’s whole body.

An extraordinarily terrifying damage number suddenly floated above Jiang Dali’s head, drawing cries of astonishment from the players below.

Jiang Dali’s long blood bar was reduced by nearly a sixth in an instant.

And at this moment, this sword representing death, filled with a greed for plundering life force, was completely beyond Xie Xiaofeng’s vigorous control of his Yang God, continuing stubbornly like an eel seeking a hole.

Another massive damage number floated above Jiang Dali’s head, his blood bar reduced significantly again, shockingly.

"Damn!! Underestimated the Fifteenth Life-taking Sword!"

Jiang Dali’s heart was seized with horror, not expecting the Fifteenth Life-taking Sword to be so strong and terrifying, plunging him into the greatest crisis of his life, nearly half of his Qi-Blood depleted.

He desperately tried to retract his Yang God.

But now his Yang God was also in a locked state, displayed as "level 10 lock" on the panel, even his body was in this terrifying locked state, unable to operate True Qi.

The only life-saving trump card now was the medicine pearl in his mouth containing thousand-year-old yellow ginseng juice.

But just one drop of thousand-year-old yellow ginseng juice inside this pearl would take at least thirty breaths to fully restore his blood.

And at the killing speed of the Fifteenth Life-taking Sword, he might not even withstand three breaths.

All these thoughts fluctuated severely in just a flash.

Accompanied by another astonishing damage number floating from Jiang Dali’s head.

His body quickly produced a chain reaction, the severe injury to the Yang God causing his brain to buzz in dizziness, oozing blood from his mouth and nose.

"Not good! The village chief seems to be in danger."

"His blood bar is almost half gone!"

The exclamations of players below rang out one after another.

Wang Yuyan urgently shouted, even the Fist Tao God and others turned pale, seeing the bad situation.

At this moment, Ding Peng had already shouted while his Yang God, wrapped in demonic saber light, charged into the spirit realm where Jiang Dali and Xie Xiaofeng were, trying to forcibly prevent the tragedy.

However, just as Ding Peng’s Yang God also entered the two’s mental world, the spiritual realm, which had been devoured to the brink of collapse by the Fifteenth Life-taking Sword, seemed rejuvenated, like mist becoming clear again.

Xie Xiaofeng cried out sorrowfully, the Fifteenth Life-taking Sword in his Yang God’s hand, like a demon dragon, suddenly burst with brilliance, autonomously devouring part of Ding Peng’s Yang God power and demonic nature, becoming even more lethal.

Another astonishingly dreadful damage appeared above Jiang Dali’s head.

Jiang Dali couldn’t help but curse violently, his brain felt like it was being hammered by ten heavy blows, buzzing, his Yang God severely injured making his head feel like it’s about to explode, eyes rolling back, every muscle in his body trembling as if shaking, lips turning blue, mouth filled with the salty taste of fresh blood.

He exerted all his strength to bite through the medicine pearl in his mouth.

But suddenly, at this moment, the Evil Emperor Relics hanging on his chest suddenly emitted a faint light, as if stimulated, actively siphoning away part of the spiritual power of the spirit realm constructed outside Jiang Dali, snatching food from the Fifteenth Life-taking Sword.

This sudden change immediately gave Jiang Dali a glimmer of hope, and his mind felt struck by lightning, suddenly giving birth to a shocking inspiration...
