863: This sword is named "Ten Thousand Lights".
“…”
Mr. Shu looked at the burial flower sword in Xie Weilou’s hand; this sword also gave him a very sinister feeling.
He mused, “Young Friend Xie’s strength is formidable, worthy of my Sword Casket fully opening. I will unleash one full-power move. If Young Friend Xie can block it, you win.”
“Good!”
Xie Weilou smiled faintly.
This Mr. Shu’s strength was extraordinary, by no means an ordinary Kou Gong Peak expert. To deal with him, he would need to employ a few more tricks.
Crack!
Mr. Shu didn't waste words. He reached out to the Sword Casket, and it opened completely.
Eleven Confucian swords reappeared, representing benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trust, rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics—the Five Constants and Six Arts.
Mr. Shu flicked his sleeve, and the eleven long swords of the Five Constants and Six Arts flew out, a dense Vast Righteous Qi permeating the air.
Buzz!
The eleven long swords soared into the Nine Heavens, rapidly evolving into a hundred thousand Swords of Vast Righteousness.
The Swords of Vast Righteousness continuously arranged themselves, forming a colossal Haoran Sword Array in the Nine Heavens, instantly trapping Xie Weilou.
Mr. Shu stood above, looking at Xie Weilou: “This is the Haoran Sword Array. If you can block it, you win.”
Xie Weilou looked at the Haoran Sword Array above and smiled faintly: “This sword array is indeed not simple!”
As he said this, he didn't hesitate and directly fused with the Demon Hand.
Previously, after the Demon Hand devoured the strange black smoke, it had undergone earth-shattering changes, its power skyrocketing countless times. Now was a good time to test its effects!
Boom!
After fusing with the Demon Hand, the demonic energy on Xie Weilou’s body increased by another hundredfold, and dense demonic patterns appeared on his skin.
His eyes also took on a hint of crimson, and his entire being had transformed into a true peerless evil demon.
“…”
Xie Wei tightened his grip on the burial flower sword, his oppressive aura becoming even more terrifying. The demonic energy in his body was inexhaustible, and he could even utilize that strange black smoke.
He felt that if he fully unleashed the power of the Demon Hand, a single sword strike could reduce Sword Emperor City to ashes in an instant.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
As the demonic energy on Xie Weilou surged, the Haoran Sword Array above vibrated continuously, as if the Vast Righteousness sensed the evil power and sought to obliterate it.
Xie Weilou moved, flying upwards. He looked at the City lights and smiled faintly: “This beautiful scenery in the City has given me some insight. Today, I shall create a sword move to counter Mr.’s Haoran Sword Array!”
“I look forward to it.”
Mr. Shu’s eyes showed a hint of anticipation upon hearing this.
Today he had witnessed the spear move created by Ye Linghuang, so naturally, he was very much looking forward to the sword move created by Xie Weilou.
He was originally a sword cultivator, so he was naturally more interested in the Way of the Sword.
Buzz!
Xie Weilou brandished the burial flower sword. Hundreds of thousands of City lights shot into the sky, obscuring the stars and moon, which completely paled in comparison to the bright lights.
The sky was filled with dense golden firelight, brilliantly lit and dazzling, illuminating the entire City.
Buzz!
Xie Weilou swung his sword again, and hundreds of thousands of City lights instantly permeated with profound Haoran Sword Qi, like hundreds of thousands of Swords of Vast Righteousness.
“This is…”
Mr. Shu’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise. To control so much Haoran Sword Qi, the Haoran power Xie Weilou commanded was absolutely no weaker than his own.
“…”
Xie Weilou closed his eyes, performed a sword flourish, and held the long sword upright in front of him, his two fingers caressing the blade.
The long sword vibrated, hundreds of thousands of lights flickered continuously, and sword qi furiously burst forth, seemingly gentle but filled with world-destroying power.
“Activate the array!”
Mr. Shu quickly formed hand seals, and the Haoran Sword Array fully activated, descending from the heavens, fiercely striking towards Xie Weilou.
Tear!
A hundred thousand Haoran Swords fell simultaneously, carrying the might to annihilate all directions, their aura vast and oppressive, sending shivers down one's spine.
Xie Weilou instantly opened his eyes, his blood-red pupils containing a hint of gold. He declared, “Gathering the lights of the entire City, transforming into one sword, this sword is named, Ten Thousand Households’ Lights!”
He swung his sword fiercely, and the three-foot burial flower instantly slashed out, a ten-thousand-meter-long demonic sword qi streaking across the sky.
Hundreds of thousands of lights vibrated, erupting with terrifying Vast Righteous Qi, brilliant light flashing and illuminating the heavens and earth.
Hundreds of thousands of lights instantly merged into the demonic sword qi, transforming the black demonic sword qi into a dazzling golden yellow, its power again skyrocketing hundreds of times.
The ten-thousand-meter-long demonic sword qi became a hundred thousand meters long, abruptly striking the Haoran Sword Array.
Rumble!
A burst of explosions rang out. The Haoran Sword Array was blasted apart by a single sword strike, and a hundred thousand Haoran Swords were instantly pulverized.
The powerful demonic sword qi swept in all directions, surging endlessly, enveloping the entire City.
The demonic sword qi then dissipated, and hundreds of thousands of lights emerged, forming a golden yellow expanse.
Ten Thousand Households’ Lights reappeared, the entire City shimmering with golden light, like fire trees and silver flowers. The Nine Heavens were illuminated transparently, filled with endless Vast Righteous Qi, purifying all things and bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.
“So beautiful…”
Within Sword Emperor City, countless commoners emerged, staring blankly at the Nine Heavens. At this moment, Sword Emperor City was more beautiful than ever before.
They had never seen the night of Sword Emperor City so beautiful, so enchanting, filled with a sense of warmth.
Upon seeing this beautiful scene, for some reason, they suddenly felt their hearts broaden, and much of their pent-up frustration dissipated, leaving them with an unspeakable sense of ease.
“…”
Xie Buxian looked up, a mist inexplicably appearing in his eyes. He thought of his parents, and he thought of his younger sister.
How wonderful it would be if they could witness this beautiful night with him.
Before the Sword Pavilion.
“…”
Mr. Shu’s body trembled, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
His eleven long swords had been destroyed, and the Haoran Sword Array could not withstand Xie Weilou’s sword, Ten Thousand Households’ Lights.
In this battle, he had lost!
It wasn’t that Xie Weilou blocked his sword, but that he couldn’t block Xie Weilou’s sword.
“Ten Thousand Households’ Lights, this sword is truly beautiful, and also terrifying!”
Mr. Shu looked at Xie Weilou, his eyes filled with admiration.
He had to admit, Xie Weilou’s sword was truly extraordinary.
This sword was not a sword of immortals, but a sword of the mortal world, with the lights of ten thousand households hidden within it, carrying an endless aura of mortal life.
To think that the Way of the Sword could be created in such a way, Xie Weilou’s ingenuity was truly admirable.
Xie Weilou smiled faintly: “I accept.”
Mr. Shu smiled and made way: “Young Friend Xie’s strength is extraordinary. I hope you can reach the very top floor.”
“He is truly strong; the rumors are not exaggerated in the slightest!”
Ye Linghuang gazed at Xie Weilou, a hint of admiration in her heart.
The spear move she had created earlier was born from insights gained in a difficult situation, while the sword move Xie Weilou created seemed to be done with effortless ease.
However, its power was no weaker than the spear move she had created, perhaps even a bit stronger.
Everyone said Xie Weilou was extraordinary, but some only spoke of his reliance, rarely mentioning his innate talent or combat prowess.
Now that Ye Linghuang had witnessed Xie Weilou’s sword, she understood that Xie Weilou’s talent was even more transcendent!
Such a person deserved the title ‘Heaven’s Chosen Child.’
Xie Weilou held his long sword and looked at the seventeenth floor of the Sword Pavilion: “I respectfully request the senior on the seventeenth floor to make a move.”
