Chapter 1376: Chapter 1373: Demon Sword! Evil Star! (5 Updates)

Within Purple Gold City, the big shots from the Seven Major Sects saw Xiang Yangtian’s moment of great enlightenment before he left and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, "He’s a promising talent indeed. After today’s enlightenment, Xiang Yangtian’s future cultivation in the Saber Dao is boundless!"

You Yihu’s face was flush with wild joy.

Gui Jing said indifferently, "You Yihu, do you remember how more than a thousand years ago, your Heavenly Sword Sect and my Heaven-reaching Sword Sect would hold a Knife and Sword Rivalry every year?"

"What a pity, over a thousand years ago, your Sword Cultivators walked too far on an extreme path; the Rivalry, that was supposed to be a festive event, gradually evolved into a slaughterhouse!"

"A thousand years ago, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect was forced to call a halt to this meeting for friendly competition!"

"Just as Dongfang Bai and Zhang Jianxing said, it was your Saber Cultivators who destroyed their own future," Gui Jing continued in a calm tone.

Upon hearing these words, You Yihu also had an ugly look on his face!

In the Lingnan Continent, the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect used to hold a Knife and Sword Rivalry every year with the aim of letting their outstanding disciples of Sword Cultivators and Saber Cultivators spar and learn from each other.

This event had continued for over five thousand years, but a thousand years ago, the Saber Cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect became more and more extreme. In their sparring, if they could kill their opponent, they would show no mercy; and if defeated, they would not concede, fighting to the death!

The more extreme the Sword Cultivators became, the more the Sword Cultivators who attended with the intent of friendly sparring grew to resent them!

After this situation persisted for over a hundred years, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect was forced to put an end to the festivity with the Heavenly Sword Sect, no longer holding the Knife and Sword Rivalry.

And in those hundred years, the reputation of the Saber Cultivators got worse and worse, until the martial artists of the Lingnan Continent began to refer to them as barbaric cultivators, knowing only how to wield a knife to kill.

In a mere hundred-year period, the reputation of Saber Cultivators became notorious, and too many Saber Cultivators could not bear the insults of the surrounding martial artists, thus abandoning the saber to follow the Sword Art!

After more than a thousand years, the Saber Cultivators gradually declined in Lingnan, which led to today’s situation where Sword Cultivators are dominant!

You Yihu couldn’t help but sigh in resignation, "Brother Gui Jing, what you said is true, and neither was Dongfang Bai nor Zhang Jianxing wrong. More than a thousand years ago, Lingnan’s Saber Cultivators took the wrong path, leading to the complete ruin of their reputation!"

"However, today’s Heavenly Sword Sect is no longer the Heavenly Sword Sect of a thousand years ago."

"Brother Gui Jing, if possible, I would like to revive the annual Knife and Sword Rivalry..." said You Yihu of the Heavenly Sword Sect, his voice gentle.

Gui Jing laughed softly, "You Yihu, you know that this matter has always been a thorn in the side for the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. As for reviving the Knife and Sword Rivalry, I cannot make that decision alone."

You Yihu of the Heavenly Sword Sect nodded and said, "I understand that you, Brother Gui Jing, cannot decide such a big matter privately. After the apprenticeship, I will go back to my sect and discuss this thoroughly with the Sect Leader. If we decide to proceed, the upper echelons of my Heavenly Sword Sect will definitely send a formal invitation and discuss it carefully with the upper echelons of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

Gui Jing smiled, "Alright, then we’ll see if your Heavenly Sword Sect can persuade the Sword Venerable of my Heaven-reaching Sword Sect."

You Yihu nodded slightly.

The Lord of Purple Gold City smiled and said, "Oh? Is the Knife and Sword Rivalry about to start again? If this event really were to be revived, it would indeed be a good thing for the martial artists of Lingnan. When the time comes, both Sect Leaders, please be sure to send an invitation to this old man!"

"Alright, everyone, the main event is up next."

"The duel between the Two Demonic Swords!"

"I am truly looking forward to seeing whether the Demonic Sword’s skill will come out on top or if the Monster Sword’s ability will be unmatched in history," exclaimed the Lord of Purple Gold City excitedly.

...

Within the Night Crow Mountain Range, Lin Bai and Zhang Jianxing watched Xiang Yangtian leave.

Immediately, the two exchanged glances, each revealing a slight smile.

"Now it’s really just the two of us left," said Zhang Jianxing, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Lin Bai, holding the Demonic Sword, chuckled, "You just had a bout with Xiang Yangtian and expended a great deal of Spiritual Power. Do you need some time to recover? After all, there’s still two hours until sunset; we have time."

Zhang Jianxing shook his head, saying, "No need, a bit of Spiritual Power isn’t a concern."

Lin Bai nodded slightly, replying with a smile, "Alright then."

Young Master Qian Shui and Ni Xiangen were holding their breath in anticipation.

"Is it about to start?" exclaimed Young Master Qian Shui.

"Young Master Qian Shui, let’s step back a bit, so as not to hurt the innocent," Ni Xiangen said with a light laugh, her graceful body turning as she retreated thousands of miles away!

Qian Shui followed suit.

Zhang Jianxing raised his hand, the might of the Demon Sword dispersing in all directions, the realm of Destruction engulfing the desolate lands, his voice coldly said, "Brother Dongfang, the sword in my hand is liked to be called the Demon Sword by the warriors of Lingnan!"

"But it has a name called... Evil Star!"

"Demon Sword! Evil Star!"

Zhang Jianxing spoke indifferently, "With Evil Star in the sky, princes wail; with Demon Sword born, all living things are reduced to ash!"

Lin Bai gave a faint smile, raising the Demonic Sword and said with a laugh, "The sword in my hand is liked to be called the Demonic Sword by the warriors of Lingnan, but it also has a name called... Zi Huang!"

"Purple light streaks across the sky, the tragedy of the demonic spirits; ruling the sword amid the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!"

Lin Bai gripped the Demonic Sword tightly, its edge pointing towards Zhang Jianxing.

Zhang Jianxing raised the Demon Sword, its fierceness directed at Lin Bai!

Two unseen sword intentions began to permeate, colliding madly in the void.

On the land surrounding them, countless invisible sword marks rampaged down.

Zhang Jianxing’s eyes became sharper and sharper.

While the smile at the corner of Lin Bai’s mouth gradually stiffened!

Whoosh——

Suddenly, in a flash, both Lin Bai and Zhang Jianxing disappeared from their original spots.

Young Master Qian Shui and Ni Xiangen only saw two waning shadows sweep across the sky, the two peerless sharp swords clashed together!

"It’s started!" exclaimed Young Master Qian Shui, his words filled with excitement!

Lin Bai and Zhang Jianxing’s movement techniques were pushed to the limit, as fast as lightning, almost imperceptible to the naked eye!

Boom——

A thunderous noise spread, the Two Demonic Swords collided, and a boundless sword aura spread out, flattening thousands of miles into a plain!

After one sword clash.

Lin Bai turned back, his sword skill suddenly changing, his eyes fierce: "Demons and Monsters Emerge from the Ghost Domain!"

The Demonic Sword slashed through the air, a burst of sword light roaring out.

The first and second moves of the Nameless Sword Skill were simultaneously demonstrated by Lin Bai.

The Sword Shadow cleaved through the air, an unstoppable force rushing towards Zhang Jianxing.

Zhang Jianxing’s face turned cold, he yelled, "Bring it on!"

The Demon Sword trembled continuously, a fighting spirit emanated from the sword!

Zhang Jianxing slashed with his sword, the sword aura tearing down as if to rend the sky.

A deafening rumble resonated, the world shook at that moment, and the sun and moon darkened without light.

In the midst of heaven and earth, where darkness reigned and light was lost, within the void, countless Sword Shadows and lights continuously collided, the howling Black Wind raging through the Night Crow Mountain Range!

The two peerless sharp swords clashed madly!

Every move, every sword, carried with it the power to destroy heaven and earth!

Rumble rumble——

Crack crack crack——

Within the Night Crow Mountain Range, in the blink of an eye when Lin Bai and Zhang Jianxing crossed swords, the place became a wasteland, with thousands of miles around split and broken by the Sword Intention, living beings annihilated!
