Chapter 1327: The Green Mountain Sword
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
“Third Elder, usually the Sword-Emperor Sect uses long swords to attack, but you struck me with your palm. Did you hit your head somewhere and forgot?” Qingfeng Li mocked the Third Elder with an arrogant grin.
At the sound of Qingfeng Li’s words, the Third Elder’s face darkened, and his eyes grew cold. “Bastard, how dare he mock me?!”
The crowd all had their fingers pointed towards the two men.
“Qingfeng Li is seriously arrogant. He even dares to curse at the Third Elder of the Sword-Emperor Sect!”
“You’re right. He’s way too brazen. He doesn’t respect the Sword-Emperor Sect at all.”
“What do you guys think? Who’s going to win?”
“Who else? The Third Elder of course. He didn’t even use his longsword yet. Once he pulls that bad boy out, Qingfeng Li is dead for sure.”
“Nonsense! Qingfeng Li is really powerful. He can definitely defeat the Third Elder.”
The surrounding self-cultivators all had their opinions about the impending battle. Some favored Qingfeng Li and others favored the Third Elder. Both men had their supporters.
With a flip of the wrist, the Third Elder pulled out the longsword sheathed on his back.
It was a green longsword, two fingers wide and less than four feet long.
An aura composed of green mountains circled its surface, giving it a divine glow. On the body of the sword was a carving of a green mountain seal script. The green mountain seal script grouped into a small offensive array, ready to be turned into a sword energy green mountain when in battle.
The surrounding disciples recognized the longsword held by the Third Elder. They shouted, “That’s the Green Mountain Sword, an emperor level spiritual treasure! Qingfeng Li is dead for sure.”
Within the world of self-cultivation, the Green Mountain Sword was very famous. It was especially renowned amongst the self-cultivators of the sword disciplines. It was one of the ten greatest emperor level swords, possessing extreme offensive powers. One strike of the sword could create a hole within the heavens and earth.
Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows at the sight of the Green Mountain Sword. He felt its powerful aura. It was indeed a powerful weapon.
Without any hesitation, Qingfeng Li immediately took out his Fire Emperor Sword.
The Fire Emperor Sword was also an emperor level spiritual treasure. It was the only weapon that stood a chance against the Green Mountain Sword.
“Huh!” the Third Elder roared as he channeled his vital essence into the longsword, striking it forward.
The green sword energy transformed into a 1000 meter tall gigantic mountain, covering half of the sky as it smashed towards Qingfeng Li viciously.
A giant hole was created in the air, leaving it destroyed. A massive force of pressure appeared from the aura, as if it was going to blow up the sky and earth.
The surrounding self-cultivators all pulled back, their faces pale. The gust of energy was too strong to handle.
Qingfeng Li channeled the fire type vital essence within his body, suddenly striking forward. A ray of blazing sword energy shot out from the sword, piercing the air, instantly cleaving down on the tall mountain.
With a loud boom, the mountain split into halves and exploded, turning into a gust of sword energy and disappearing into nothingness.
Although the tall mountain disappeared and Qingfeng Li’s blazing sword energy immediately vanished as well, the energy waves within the air still rushed towards the two men, forcing both to retreat. They gazed at one another heavily.
“Qingfeng Li, I didn’t expect for you to have an emperor level spiritual treasure as well. No wonder you were so arrogant.” The Third Elder’s expression grew heavy, his eyes laced with surprise.
From their previous exchange, the Third Elder had realized that Qingfeng Li was also in possession of a longsword spiritual treasure. Similar to his own Green Mountain Sword, it was also an emperor level spiritual treasure.
There were only a few emperor level spiritual treasures within the entire Huaxia self-cultivation world, and long sword emperor level spiritual treasures were even rarer, with no more than 10 known in existence.
Although the inheritance of the Sword Emperor Sect came from the time of the ancient era, the members had only found out about emperor level techniques through expeditions through dangerous ruins. At the sight of Qingfeng Li also having an emperor level longsword, the third elder felt a great deal of annoyance.
“Third Elder, was that your attack? How disappointing.” Qingfeng Li waved his hand as he smiled lightly, his eyes laced with disdain.
He had expected more from the Sword Emperor Sect’s longsword attack. But now that he had witnessed it, he wasn’t too impressed.
The Third Elder’s eyes flashed cold, his face turning livid at the sight of Qingfeng Li’s disrespect.
He felt utterly ridiculed, primarily because he belonged to the Sword Emperor Sect. It was, after all, the number one sect within the Sword Dao discipline, admired by countless self-cultivators. But in the eyes of Qingfeng Li, it was as if the sect was just a shrub on the side of the street.
“Qingfeng Li, don’t be so arrogant. That was just a wave of the sword. I didn’t even use my sword technique yet. I will now show you the real power of the Sword Emperor Sect’s sword techniques,” the Third Elder sneered coldly.
Immediately, the Third Elder recited a chant. It was a sword technique chant that contained a spell, and it released a green light that entered the Green Mountain Sword.
In a split second, the Green Mountain Sword emitted a green light, stronger than the light before, brightening up the entire ceiling of Hell. The once black sky of Hell was now green.
Black Puppy furrowed its brows and reminded Qingfeng Li, “Be careful. He just activated the array formation inside his sword. His offensive power is now enhanced by two times.”
“Big Brother Li, please be careful,” both Flower Fairy and Xianzhi Qin cautioned Qingfeng Li.
His face grew heavy. Of course, he knew that there were array seal scriptures within most emperor level longswords.
These array formations were all made of talisman scripts. The talisman scripts’s texture, length, thickness, and source energy formed the array formations, used to elevate a sword’s offensive powers by two, three, or more times.
The Third Elder’s face bursted red from the consumption of too much vital essence. He struck his long sword forward again, exuding out a blinding green light. Suddenly, two sword energy green mountains emerged in mid-air.
The two sword energy green mountains were even larger than the single sword energy green mountain before.
Each was 2000 meters tall, and each was heavier than the previous one as well. The surrounding air was fractured into an infinite amount of cracks as if one could see the phantoms within Hell. These phantoms were from the third layer of hell. They gazed towards the people with chilling eyes.
Qingfeng Li felt a sense of danger. He knew that the Third Elder had used his sword technique as well as the array seal scripture. Qingfeng Li’s opponent had just gotten much stronger.
Qingfeng Li channeled the Mortal Purgatory Body technique within his body and unleashed a black light as dark as ink. His suddenly punched out his left fist, striking out his Strangle Hell fist. At the same time, he lashed out the Fire Emperor Sword he was holding in his right hand, turning it into a blazing sword energy.
Ka-boom!
The blazing sword energy from the Strangle Hell Fist collided with the sword energy, creating a deafening blow. A black vortex formed on top the second layer of hell. It was created due to the massive amount of power within the atmosphere.
Within the vortex, the heads of devils continued to appear. Their faces were all pale as could be and their hair was long. Their black nails looked especially daunting.
