Chapter 1133: 1133 People Unite as One Sword! (Chapter 3)

"Are you that bastard child?" Ji Batian’s voice was sharp, revealing a hint of surprise.

Ye Qiu coldly replied, "The enmity of clan extermination, the enmity of killing my father and mother, today I’m here to settle it with you."

"Heh... Your strength isn’t a match for mine. My mistake back then was not being able to kill you and utterly uproot your clan. Since you are the remnant, I’ll completely eradicate the Dugu clan’s root."

With that said, Ji Batian launched a sudden palm strike.

Ye Qiu swiftly leaped to dodge. Ji Batian squinted; how could it be so easy to evade his attack? He twisted his arm and struck fiercely.

Bang.

Ye Qiu abruptly changed direction, avoiding the palm.

"You can’t escape." Ji Batian remained expressionless. In his eyes, Ye Qiu was just like a monkey. This bit of strength was not enough to hurt him.

There’s a gap of two major realms. No matter how Ye Qiu darkens, it’s useless.

Bang bang bang.

Ye Qiu kept running, dodging onto the Ji clan’s city wall.

Ji Batian glanced over and launched another palm strike.

A continuous barrage, like the Five Fingers Mountain of Buddha, kept pressing down. If Ye Qiu slowed for a moment, he would surely be smashed flat.

"Young Master Ye, I’ll help you." Seeing the dire situation, the Pavilion Master of the Book Collection rushed forward to assist Ye Qiu in resisting Ji Batian.

"Overestimating yourself." Ji Batian’s raised palm suddenly turned, slicing through the air in an arc, instantly striking towards the Pavilion Master.

The Pavilion Master’s heart skipped a beat, but he did not avoid it. He couldn’t let Ji Batian kill Ye Qiu, because he had promised Old Mo to take care of him.

With a resolute gaze, the Pavilion Master spun and charged towards Ji Batian’s hand.

The palm descended, intending to knock the Pavilion Master down. At this moment, facing Ji Batian’s immense power, the Pavilion Master bled from seven orifices, appearing extremely pitiful.

Ye Qiu turned around and immediately rushed over: "Senior..."

"Quickly leave, as long as there are green hills, there’s no fear of lacking firewood. You must go, don’t mind me." The Pavilion Master said.

"No one can leave." Ji Batian sneered coldly: "You old codger, years ago, you wanted to take Dugu Qiujian as your disciple. Unfortunately, your wish fell through. Although Dugu Qiujian was a genius of the Dugu family, he ultimately did not rise."

"Ji Batian, all this was caused by your Ji clan, causing me to lose a good disciple." The Pavilion Master retorted.

The Pavilion Master risked his life to block Ji Batian for Ye Qiu. Apart from the reason of Old Mo, it was also due to the resentment from not being able to take in the genius Dugu Qiujian years ago, especially when the perpetrator was right in front; the Pavilion Master would not let it go unpunished.

"Break for me." The Pavilion Master surged in momentum, reaching his limit. Ji Batian’s pressing palm was forcibly repelled by him.

"Get down!" Ji Batian’s whole body shivered; the power suddenly increased. In an instant, the Pavilion Master spewed fresh blood, and his entire aura withered immediately.

This spurt was essential blood.

The Pavilion Master was slammed into the ground with a thunderous noise, momentarily silent.

"Damn it!"

Ye Qiu’s nails were deeply embedded in his flesh, the killing intent towards Ji Batian reaching a peak.

"Twenty years ago, the Dugu clan was annihilated; you alone survived. Today, I’ll let you watch your companions die one by one before you." Ji Batian’s words were vicious, intending to kill all of Ye Qiu’s friends right in front of him.

"You..." Ye Qiu’s heart surged with rage, shouting: "Kusanagi Sword!"

Clang...

The Kusanagi Sword instantly unsheathed from his back, circling in the air before falling into Ye Qiu’s hand.

With the Kusanagi Sword in hand, Ye Qiu’s essence, energy, and spirit had never been more unified with the sword.

Ji Batian appeared astonished, exclaiming: "Dugu Qiujian..."

He saw the shadow of Dugu Qiujian in Ye Qiu. At this moment, Ye Qiu resembled that arrogant young Dugu Qiujian.

A terrifying Sword Cultivator capable of becoming a Sword Saint or Sword Immortal.

"Humph, in the world of martial arts, fists and kicks are king, Sword Dao is just a trivial path." Ji Batian snorted disdainfully.

Opposite, Ye Qiu was highly unified with the Kusanagi Sword, suspended in mid-air, giving the impression that Ye Qiu was the sword, and the sword was Ye Qiu.

This was the realm of unity between human and sword, as Dugu Qiujian described.

Two months ago.

"Unity between human and sword is the first realm of the Sword Dao. Only by entering and comprehending this realm can one be deemed a Sword Cultivator."

"Uncle, what is a Sword Cultivator?"

"Simply put, it’s entering the Dao via the sword. In this ancient land, only your uncle truly qualifies as a Sword Cultivator. In fact, in the ancestral land, Sword Cultivators are numerous, but in this ancient land, most people believe that indulging in Sword Dao doesn’t lead to the pinnacle of a Martial Artist. Cultivating oneself is key to reaching the martial pinnacle."

"I don’t deny this viewpoint, but I believe Sword Dao can indeed reach the pinnacle of a Martial Artist. There isn’t just one road to the martial pinnacle, not even two, but many. If you achieve the ultimate, you’ll become the strongest."

"If you wish to master powerful sword techniques, you must walk with the sword, sleep with the sword, never leave the sword for a moment. Only by connecting with the sword will you become a Sword Cultivator."

"In truth, the existence of Sword Cultivators has also been rumored in the mundane world, like the Daoist’s Mud Marrow Palace’s Hidden Sword, enabling one to kill from a thousand miles with just a thought, flying with the sword, and more—these are all methods of Sword Cultivators."

Dugu Qiujian’s words echoed in his mind. Ye Qiu recalled the scene two months ago. At this moment, he truly connected with the Kusanagi Sword.

The sword was him; he was the sword, one entity yet two bodies.

This feeling was extremely profound.

But now, Ye Qiu didn’t think much, as he had only one thought in mind: to kill Ji Batian.

Swish...

Ye Qiu’s eyes shot out like two swords, the glint was sharp enough to pierce through the air.

"Go!"

Ye Qiu released his grip, the Kusanagi Sword hung in the air, with Ye Qiu’s words, it whizzed and vanished from sight.

"Such speed." Ji Batian’s heart trembled; with his eyesight, he only saw a blurred sword shadow.

Swoosh!

Ji Batian shifted sideways, the Kusanagi Sword skimmed his sleeve, narrowly missing piercing through his body.

The first strike was ungraced, Ye Qiu clasped two fingers together, chanting a Sword technique: "One sword becomes three thousand, three thousand form a Sword Array, Sword Array slashes all heavens."

Swish swish swish swish.

The Kusanagi Sword stood in the air, suddenly one became two, two became four, soon the sky was filled with identical Kusanagi Swords.

Under Ye Qiu’s Sword technique, these turned into a Sword Array.

With the Sword Array formed, the heavens and earth were filled with sharp Sword Qi.

And on the ground, everyone held their breath; the Pavilion Master was being supported by Wu Yang Zun, who was treating his injuries, watching the scenes above of the battle between Ye Qiu and Ji Batian.

The Pavilion Master mumbled, "So Dugu Qiujian’s Sword Dao wasn’t severed, young master Ye has inherited it..."

Wu Yang Zun looked at the extraordinary Sword Array, recalling the talented Dugu Qiujian from back then, and couldn’t help saying, "Back then, you couldn’t take Dugu Qiujian as a disciple. Now Cang Tian has sent young master Ye, perhaps this can settle your heart’s knot."
