Chapter 1018: A Fierce Battle with Erjian Zhao
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng Li stared at the Sword Aura Valley before him without sparing a glance at Erjian Zhao.
Erjian Zhao’s expression changed, furious at the young man’s arrogance and obvious disregard toward him.
His right foot kicked abruptly a piece of rock toward Qingfeng Li. It ripped through the air with a whistling sound and was upon him in a blink of an eye.
Frowning slightly, Qingfeng Li shot out two fingers and, as quick as lightning, caught the rock between them.
His eyes glinted. This detestable Erjian Zhao was asking for death by sneak attacking him with a rock.
Swoosh!
Qingfeng Li shot the rock back toward Erjian Zhao with a greater speed than the previous attack.
The original assaultant leaned his head to one side trying to dodge it but the rock was so fast that some of his hair was cut off and fell to the ground.
Self-cultivators valued every part of their body since it was a gift from their parents and were containers for their vital essence. Erjian Zhao decided to kill Qingfeng Li, as he was incredibly angered that his hair was cut off.
“Bastard, you dared to cut off my hair. I will kill you for it,” Erjian Zhao said gloomily, his murderous thoughts clearly written in his eyes.
Klang!
He drew out his sword and pointed it at Qingfeng Li. Emitting a sharp sword aura, it was a snow-white sword with a width of about ten centimeters and a length of one meter.
“Silver Snow Sword! It is the Silver Snow Sword,” The surrounding people yelled when they recognized the white sword with astonishment.
Quite renowned among the younger generation of self-cultivators, the Silver Snow Sword was one of the ten most powerful earth-grade spiritual devices.
With this sword, Erjian Zhao had conquered countless rivals in the self-cultivation world and had become one of the three strongest disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Yijian Zhao, Erjian Zhao, and Sanjian Zhao were the three geniuses of sword techniques within the Heavenly Sword Sect but a third of them had already been killed by Qingfeng Li.
“Silver Snow Crossing Sky,” Erjian Zhao yelled in a cold voice and launched the first Silver Snow Sword Technique, which transformed the sword energy into a giant illusionary snowflake that spun through the air toward Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li drew out the Red Fiery Sword and said coldly, “Volcanic Condensation.”
A giant shadow of a volcano took shape in the sky and its burning presence turned the surrounding air into scorching gusts of wind.
Boom!
The Silver Snow Sword Technique and Volcanic Sword Technique crashed into each other violently with a huge explosion sound.
It was a collision of two totally opposite forces when the giant snowflake and the huge volcano crashed into each other, sending the mud and rocks around them flying in all directions.
Deng, deng!
Faces grim, Qingfeng Li and Erjian Zhao both retreated, neither gaining the upper hand.
Qingfeng Li’s eyes sharpened. It was the first time that he had met a rival who could be his match since he had mastered the Volcanic Sword Techniques.
The Sanjian art geniuses of the Heavenly Sword Sect showed that they definitely deserved their reputations.
“Silver Snow Mountain Condensation.” Erjian Zhao launched the second Silver Snow Sword Technique, which summoned a huge iceberg.
With an area as big as forty square meters, the iceberg crashed toward Qingfeng Li with a chilling air.
“Volcanic Tumble.” Qingfeng Li launched the second Volcanic Sword Technique which transformed into a huge volcano shadow with burning magma surging from its opening.
Rumble!
The huge iceberg and the magma collided into each other with a tremendous sound, creating a huge black hole between the sky and the earth.
After the collision, both the iceberg and the magma vanished in the air and this round of attacks ended in a draw again.
Qingfeng Li’s face turned grim, astonished at the power of the sword arts of the Heavenly Sword Sect, which were well-deserving of their reputation as a sword arts self-cultivation sect.
But Erjian Zhao was even more astonished. As one of the absolute geniuses of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it would be a disgrace for him if he could not defeat Qingfeng Li.
“Silver Snowfall Condensation.” He launched the third Silver Snow Sword Technique which condensed his water-natured vital essence into a huge frozen waterfall full of horribly sharp ice knifes that crashed towards Qingfeng.
“Volcanic Explosion,” Faced with the terrifying force of the waterfall, Qingfeng Li launched the third Volcanic Sword Technique which tossed out a gigantic volcano shadow.
Boom!
The gigantic volcano shadow crashed into the frozen waterfall creating a deafening huge sound.
Deng, deng!!
They both retreated on step. Neither of them could gain the upper hand using only sword techniques.
At that moment, a huge noise sounded from the inside of the Sword Aura Valley. Shaken by their powerful attacks, the violent sword energy in the valley was activated and began running wildly in there, darkening the sky with its tremendous force.
“Let’s go get the Sword Energy Grass.” With a roar, Zhuang Hei from the Black Blade Sect rushed into the valley.
Only when the sword energy ran wild could people grab the Sword Energy Grass in there.
Erjian Zhao also gave up the fight with Qingfeng Li and dashed toward the valley, intending to grab the Sword Energy Grass before killing Qingfeng Li.
Swoosh!
Qingfeng Li shot forward like an arrow, dashing into the valley. While everyone else was fighting for the Sword Energy Grass, he took out the Red Fiery Sword and collected the sword energy in the valley.
Hiss!
Large amounts of sword energy in the valley went into Red Fiery Sword, which were quickly assimilated into his own.
After absorbing large amounts of sword energy, the Red Fiery Sword began to release a red aura, a sign of its evolution.
Then it stopped absorbing the sword energy when it was full of it.
“Senior, are you awake?” Qingfeng Li asked the Dark Night Emperor resting inside the sword.
“The grade of the sword energy is too low. To completely wake me up, you must take the Sword Energy Grass which contains the essence of sword energy,” the Dark Night Emperor said in a weak voice.
