Chapter 223: Chapter 221: Time Toad? Black Flame Cave

Liang Hui stood before the lake, gazing at the emerald water, feeling much more at peace.

The gentle breeze brushed by, rustling his sleeves, adding a touch of insouciance to the air.

At this moment, the Azure Sea Cave Master and the two children stood quietly in place, not daring to make the slightest move.

He couldn’t tell how much time had passed.

The tall figure slowly turned around.

With a wave of his hand, the Mystic Tortoise floated down in front of the girl.

"Take it, consider it a reward for showing the way."

Ah Jiao stared blankly at the Mystic Tortoise before her, her gaze flickering with struggle before she turned to look at the boy by her side.

She opened her mouth, about to speak.

"Ah Jiao, do not delay in accepting the Sacred Worm bestowed by His Majesty," the elder scolded sharply, cutting off the words the girl was about to say.

In that moment, a resolute light shone in the girl’s eyes.

"Divine Emperor Your Majesty, Cave Master, may I give the Sacred Worm to Xiao Yi?"

"Why? Such a worm should be extremely precious to you. You will not come across one again."

Liang Hui spoke softly.

Curiosity shone in his eyes as he realized the girl genuinely did not favor the Mystic Tortoise, and it was not out of familial sentiment.

"I want to learn the sword, Your Majesty!" Ah Jiao’s face held an unprecedented seriousness as she bent her small frame earnestly forward.

The young man had his answer; the girl must have been moved by the casual sword strike he had shown.

But indeed, someone with a Spirit Eye like hers was indeed well-suited for sword training to some extent.

At the thought from Liang Hui, the Mystic Tortoise had already floated to the boy’s embrace.

"The reward has been given. As for sword training, consider it a gift from the Divine Emperor to a future member of his following."

He did not mind giving the girl something, as, after all, the meat would eventually rot in the pot.

Liang Hui extended his hand, and a snow-white longsword, a blue sword ball, and a copy of the Sword Scripture floated above his palm.

"This world’s sword cultivators roughly divide into three categories: first is the Sword Ball, unpredictable and versatile; second is the Taoist Sword, majestic and forthright; third is the sword as a weapon, the Martial Artist’s sword."

"Which path will you choose for your sword training?"

"Whichever path Your Majesty takes, I shall follow," said Ah Jiao, lifting her head without hesitation.

"Ha!"

Liang Hui chuckled.

The blue sword ball was immediately retracted, and the snow-white longsword, along with the Sword Scripture, floated towards the girl.

"Taoist swords are scarce, and this one is merely average."

"Thank you, Divine Emperor Your Majesty."

The girl carefully put away the Sword Scripture then gripped the longsword with both hands, her small face filled with excitement.

Liang Hui waved his hand dismissively, not overly concerned, for these items were of no use to him and would eventually be bestowed upon members of the Divine Court.

Turning to the side, he looked at the elder.

"Cave Master, until we meet again!"

The next moment, the young man’s figure had already disappeared.

Only the elder, and the two children, were left standing by the emerald lake.

"Grandfather Cave Master, the Divine Emperor isn’t as frightening as I thought, quite gentle actually. Why are you all so afraid of him?" Ah Jiao asked, puzzled as she stuck the longsword into the soil.

The boy beside her nodded in agreement, clutching the Mystic Tortoise tightly in his arms, as if afraid it would fall.

"You are still young," the elder shook his head.

But then again, that one has always been good to his own people.

...

Meanwhile, after leaving the Azure Sea Cave,

Liang Hui transformed into a beam of light and sped off in the direction of the Witch God Sect.

Mountains, rivers, and miasma quickly passed through his field of vision.

Both the exotic beasts in the sky and the mountains that touched the clouds were sliced through by anything that stood in his way.

A trail of bloodshed did not hinder Liang Hui in the slightest.

Until, after traveling millions of miles, he plunged deep into the southern wilderness.

Dawn arrived with a sky full of dark clouds.

Boom!

A pillar of red flame rose from the earth, hurtling directly towards the beam of light that was Liang Hui.

"The Chu people dare to venture deep into the vast mountains? Seeking death."

The unfamiliar Chu language echoed in the space.

The young man looked coldly at the three figures laughing on the ground.

Each of them possessed qi meridians and was at the Entry Dao Level, but to him, they were too weak.

Without hesitation, he extended his hand and chopped down directly.

Slash!

A hundred miles of scarlet-gold sword light swept down from the Vault of Heaven.

Almost instantly, the sword light cleaved through mountains and rivers, submerging the three figures on the ground and annihilating them completely.

As the sword light dissipated, a hundred-mile-long canyon appeared amidst the mountain range.

Liang Hui’s gaze remained cold as he looked toward an empty space.

Clang!

The Taoist Sword was unsheathed, yet to be slashed down.

The peerless edge of the blade had already torn through the heavy clouds above, allowing sunlight to once again shine upon the mountains.

"Come out, or never come out again."

"This is the Southern Barbarians, not the Chu Nation, sir, aren’t you being too forceful?"

The dissatisfied voice echoed.

Two figures subsequently appeared in midair, one tall and burly with robust Qi-Blood, and the other slender, exuding a heartbeat-accelerating aura.

They stood side by side, facing the vague figure shrouded in flowing light.

"Chu people, this is the Black Flame Cave’s territory. Leave now, and we will act as if nothing has happened."

"If you don’t leave, then never leave."

Even in the face of a powerful person who had opened a hundred-mile-long crater with a palm strike, neither showed any politeness.

Hmph!

A cold sneer.

The Taoist Sword soared and slashed directly downward.

In an instant, the dazzling sword light shot up into the Vault of Heaven, completely obscuring the brilliance of the great sun.

In this vast world, only the scarlet sword light filled the heavens and earth and extended to the farthest corners of the wilderness.

Mountains, forests, dust, Qi-Blood, mana, everything seemed to freeze.

Ah! Ah!

The two figures in the sword light tried to scream at the top of their lungs.

They desperately unleashed their almost stagnant True Qi and mana, trying to counter the everlastingly brilliant sword light.

"Wen Jin! Block it!"

The slender figure shouted with all his might.

In that moment, the tall figure did not hesitate, took a step forward, and instantly positioned himself in front of the sword light.

Slash!

The head fell, and blood spurted from the neck, reaching a hundred meters high.

Croak! Croak!...

The faint croaking sound seemed particularly jarring at this moment.

The slender figure, with a soft yellow glow radiating from his abdomen, vaguely revealed a toad crouching there.

Its head and belly were brownish-yellow, with ring-like lines resembling tree rings on its surface, as if it had witnessed the passage of years.

In this instant, Liang Hui’s face became solemn.

His sword light was actually reversing; even the head that had been severed and was halfway through the air was rising, and the gushing blood was re-entering the neck of the burly man, droplet by droplet.

’Time!’

Upon recognizing this unknown force, Liang Hui turned into a sword light, retreating a hundred miles in an instant.

His gaze burned with intensity as he watched the reversing flow of time within that area.

Grasping the Taoist Sword horizontally, he began to unleash his mana with all his might, the scarlet-gold radiance illuminating the mountains and lands.

All beings within ten thousand miles lifted their heads at this moment.

There was an additional scarlet-gold sun in the sky.

Kill!

The Taoist Sword kept slashing, one sword after another, without any pause or a moment’s hesitation.

Endless sword light filled the fabric of time and space.

Mountains turned into dust, the ground was sliced into pieces, fiery lava gushed from the depths of the earth, and was immediately extinguished in an instant.

All existences within hundreds of miles were vanishing, being obliterated.

Only the boundless sword light dominated everything.
