Chapter 568: Sword Prison!

Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Sword Prison!

Swords filled the sky, densely packed and floating in the air, each tip pointed directly at Tang Zhong.

The crowd looked up to see the incoming Flying Swords, and couldn’t help but feel alarmed.

Because there were thousands of swords flying toward them, and each one was corporeal, not the many illusory swords produced by the first move of the Sword Master from the Valley of Hidden Swords.

The eyes of the onlookers lit up, knowing that these Flying Swords were no ordinary items, at least much stronger than the ones previously auctioned.

"This is the true foundation of the Valley of Hidden Swords!"

"It’s no wonder, after three hundred years, the Valley of Hidden Swords always prevails; this time, whoever goes up is doomed!"

"These swords... could they be the swords from the Sword Prison of the Valley of Hidden Swords?"

The mention of Sword Prison instantly caused a stir among the crowd.

Those in the world of Martial Arts were aware of this name. There were rumors that within the Valley of Hidden Swords, there was a place called the Sword Prison, filled with swords, each one extraordinary, all forged by previous Valley Masters.

Those who were unaware of Sword Prison were astounded upon learning of its might from those around them.

"Sword Prison, Sword Prison, isn’t that the jail for swords? Why would the Valley of Hidden Swords throw so many fine swords into the Sword Prison!"

"No, the swords were placed in the Sword Prison by the Valley of Hidden Swords with the intention to suppress something. It seems that thing is also a sword. As for what sword it is, nobody knows!"

"Wow, to use so many fine swords to suppress another sword, I wonder what kind of sword it is. I really want to see it!"

"You’re stating the obvious, I want to see it too, but do you think you and I can enter the Sword Prison?"

"No, that only makes my question bigger. Wasn’t it said that these swords were used to seal another sword? If these swords have all been taken out, doesn’t that mean the sealed sword is about to be unsealed!"

"Exactly!"

The people around were astonished, wondering if they would truly be able to witness the sword that had been sealed.

At this moment, the Sword Master stood there, his white hair fluttering in the wind. His pupils clear, he looked at Tang Zhong and said, "Tang Zhong, didn’t you say that no matter how many swords come, the result will be the same? Now the swords are here. Do you dare repeat your previous words?"

Then the Sword Master grinned ferociously.

Tang Zhong frowned, observing the swords flying in the sky, noting that they were clearly no ordinary items, each emanating ferociously powerful Sword Qi.

A mere Sword Master, he did not take seriously, but with so many added swords, it had indeed become somewhat difficult.

Suddenly, the strange stone in his arms moved, pulsing as if responding to some guidance.

Tang Zhong squinted his eyes, certain that the aura from these swords was attracting the stone, causing it to behave as it now did. However, it was not these swords that were drawing the stone; whatever was attracting the stone was definitely beside these swords. Since the stone came from the Turbid Suspension River, then perhaps, the thing pulling at the stone also originated from there.

"Scared, aren’t you? These swords are the blades of previous Valley Masters of the Valley of Hidden Swords over the last three hundred years. To slay you alone would be effortless!" The Sword Master, thinking Tang Zhong was afraid, said with a cold laugh.

But Tang Zhong ignored the Sword Master, his mind occupied with studying the stone.

Being disregarded, the Sword Master was completely enraged.

"You’re seeking death!" the Sword Master roared.

With a flick of his finger,

in that instant, the swords wreathed in chains soared into the air, transforming into an Iron Dragon, diving toward Tang Zhong with bared fangs.

"You broke my sword before, that was a profound shame for me, but this time you will certainly die. However, before you die, I will tell you everything!" the Sword Master snarled.

Tang Zhong watched the Iron Dragon engulfing everything in its path and swiftly began dodging, stepping on the ground, his body weaving out of the way.

The Iron Dragon came crashing down, burrowing into the ground, making the ground that seemed so solid appear as nothing more than a layer of paper.

One saw the Iron Dragon miss Tang Zhong entirely and disappear into the earth.

The onlookers hastily retreated, their eyes fixed on the scene before them with horror.

As soon as Tang Zhong landed, he felt the ground tremble slightly beneath his feet. That meant the Iron Dragon was tunneling underneath and was about to burst forth.

And the spot it was heading for was...

Suddenly realizing this, Tang Zhong swiftly bent his knees and leapt backward. Just at that moment, from right where he had been standing, an Iron Dragon burst through the ground—dust flying and stones scattering!

Just as he had expected!

"You dodged again!" the Valley Master of Hidden Swords coldly stated, "But no matter how much you dodge, today, you are doomed to die!"

In an instant, with a flick of his finger, the Valley Master directed the Iron Dragon to straighten itself and spit out an iron ball towards Tang Zhong.

The iron ball was formed by the convergence of several swords, a harbinger that it was about to pierce through Tang Zhong, its sinister tips glinting coldly.

Surrounded from all sides, Tang Zhong was completely encircled.

"So what if you are a Martial Arts Grandmaster? The owner of each sword here was once a Sword Dao Grandmaster. Let’s see how you dodge this time!"

At this point, Tang Zhong couldn’t help but feel anxious.

The Valley Master of Hidden Swords was clearly playing dirty. A Valley Master like him, Tang Zhong would normally not consider a threat, but with so many swords, he was still just one man.

"Damn it!" Tang Zhong clenched his teeth tightly.

This was truly troublesome.

The onlookers watching the scene couldn’t help but discuss among themselves.

"Tang Zhong is indeed powerful, but alas, he’s just one person, and his opponent represents the full might of the Valley of Hidden Swords!"

"Now, the Valley Master’s combat power has completely surpassed that of someone at the Martial Arts Peak!"

"Yes, any Grandmaster facing him would meet nothing but death!"

At that very moment, the crowd saw several sword tips heading straight for Tang Zhong.

Tang Zhong, with the Blood Sword in hand, began to fend them off.

A flying sword, met by the parry of Tang Zhong’s Blood Sword, rang out with a clink. Tang Zhong could only defend himself, with no chance to strike back, as swords scattered everywhere.

But suddenly, the speed of the flying swords was too fast, and one sliced right across Tang Zhong’s arm.

Bright red blood flowed down from the wound.

Agonizing pain shot through him.

Although Tang Zhong’s physique was formidable, unmatched in the Grandmaster Realm, he was now facing swords that had once been wielded by those at the Martial Arts Peak. Even his robust body suffered injuries.

With teeth gritted, Tang Zhong found the situation increasingly precarious.

Suddenly, another sword whizzed past, slicing across his leg.

Swish swish swish—thousands of swords flew by.

Tang Zhong started to look ragged.

He could deflect one sword, but not a thousand, and these swords were not even of their level.

As thousands of swords flew by, Tang Zhong was covered in cuts and wounds, his teeth clenched tightly as blood dripped slowly onto the ground from his body.

Seeing this, the Valley Master’s face twisted into an even more sinister smile, "Tang Zhong, didn’t you say that no matter how many swords come at you, you’ll face them all alone? Why can’t you talk now? Coming to the Valley of Hidden Swords to cause trouble—even if Meng Wuxiang himself were here today, he would die, let alone you, Tang Zhong. Trash!"

(This is the third update, with three more to go!)
