Chapter 596 The Power of the Sword Saint
Chapter 596 The Power of the Sword Saint
Under the blue sky and white clouds, bright and dazzling sunlight pierced through the clouds, forming beams of light.
Buzz!
An airplane was flying through the clouds, illuminated especially brightly by the beam of light.
But gradually, a dark cloud appeared in the distance, blocking out the sunlight, and a black shadow enveloped the entire plane as it moved forward.
"Hello, are you also a student who went to the Beijing Martial Arts University through awakening?"
Inside the cabin, Jiang Ye moved closer to Zhou Ping, who was looking down at his toes, and pretended to ask a question.
Lin Qiye and Jiang Er exchanged a glance but said nothing more.
Instead, Li Yifei looked at Zhou Ping with a friendly smile on his face.
"Excuse me, are you from Cangnan No. 2 Middle School? I've never seen you at No. 1 Middle School."
He sat in the corner very familiarly, very close to Zhou Ping.
"I..." Zhou Ping kept his head down, a look of panic on his face, and couldn't speak for a moment.
Jiang Ye didn't reveal that he knew Zhou Ping's identity. Instead, he took out a golden contract and sincerely described the boost to the 'Right Guard General' to Zhou Ping.
Then, from the Qiankun bag given to him by the Jade Emperor, he took out a sword called the 'Crimson Sky Sword', which was entirely crimson with a golden hilt.
"I think this weapon is perfect for you. With the added bonus from the contract, it will surely be unparalleled in the world in the future."
Jiang Ye's main tactic is to fool you first, since you don't know me but I do.
"Damn, Jiang Ye, you're being way too biased! You gave him the position of chief eunuch, promoted him to general, and even gave him a precious sword!" Li Yifei complained.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll arrange it for you in a bit."
Jiang Ye waved his hand and looked at Zhou Ping, who was still looking down, "Classmate, how is it?"
Caught between the two, Zhou Ping nervously gripped the ground with his toes, mentally preparing himself for a while before slowly speaking.
"A swordsman roams the world freely; constraints will only jeopardize his path. So... there's no need for that."
Zhou Ping politely accepted the contract and the sword, intending to return them to Jiang Ye.
The touch of his fingertips on the Crimson Sky Sword actually triggered the sword energy within his body, causing a booming sound.
"This sword..."
Zhou Ping looked at the crimson sword with surprise, his eyes filled with horror.
Having practiced swordsmanship for many years, he could tell the quality of a sword just by touching it.
Jiang Ye's Crimson Sky Sword contains incomparably scorching sword energy, as if it were naturally forged in a fiery domain.
His own Dragon Elephant Sword was incomparable; in fact, it was already a difference between immortal and mortal.
Zhou Ping examined it for a moment, but in the end, he returned it to Jiang Ye without a trace of greed in his eyes.
On the contrary, they felt that they were not qualified to accept such a valuable item.
"Okay." Jiang Ye's eyes showed some disappointment, but it was also within expectations.
It would be strange if Zhou Ping signed the contract simply because of a precious sword.
But it doesn't matter, at the Martial Arts University, the five human ceiling experts of Great Xia have a class every week.
If speed isn't feasible, then let's take it slow and steady.
Jiang Ye's expression softened for a moment.
But Zhou Ping noticed Jiang Ye's subtle emotional changes.
He seems disappointed. Should I comfort him?
"No, no, no, I don't know how to say it. What if it makes him even more unhappy?"
"Communication is too complicated, Uncle. I can't learn it. It's better to stay in a local restaurant."
Zhou Ping struggled internally to convince himself, but ultimately gave up and chose to remain silent.
Li Yifei, standing on the left, laughed heartily as he watched Jiang Ye's discomfiture.
"By the way, what's your name? We'll be in the same university, so it's good to have more friends to help each other out."
"Me?" Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment before speaking, "My name is..."
boom!
Suddenly, a golden, tearing explosion rang out, and the plane shook violently.
Accompanied by the piercing alarm in the cabin, red lights began to flash continuously.
"what happened!?"
Li Yifei instinctively gripped his seat tightly, looking flustered.
After Jiang Ye, Lin Qiye, and Jiang Er steadied themselves, they looked up at the top of the cabin.
Under the [Sky Eye], Jiang Ye could see the situation outside with ease.
Before them stood an eagle, its body wreathed in eerie blue flames and adorned with a pair of skeletal wings.
It flapped its wings, its beak, sharp as white bone, let out a sigh, and stirred up a hurricane.
The next moment, the plane's right wing immediately turned into a shower of debris, billowing thick smoke as it plummeted downwards.
Calamity in the Gray Realm's [Wailing Wilderness]!
Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly. In the Gray Realm, there are six world-destroying calamities, each ruling over a different region.
The cataclysmic calamity "Pacify" controls the "Wailing Wilds," where all the calamities are monstrous creatures.
Although it is not very strong in terms of combat power, it can destroy all machinery and buildings... even a single breath of [Disaster Relief] can destroy one of the nine realms.
But this one in front of me...
Jiang Ye shook his head. Compared to Zhou Ping, who was a demigod, he was still too weak.
"The plane is falling! Holy crap, someone's ambushing us!" Li Yifei's expression changed drastically after feeling weightlessness.
Lin Qiye and Jiang Er remained calm, their gazes fixed on Zhou Ping.
The latter took the black box from under his seat and carried it on his back.
Zhou Ping lightly slashed the cabin wall with his sword finger, and with a 'crack', a huge sword mark appeared on the aircraft door.
The Dragon Elephant Sword flew out of the black box on its own, and he leaped away on it.
Li Yifei was stunned when he saw this, his mind buzzing.
what?
Is this the kind of ability a newly awakened student should have?
The moment Zhou Ping stepped out, the plane stopped falling, as if it had been lifted up by something.
Jiang Ye activated his [Heavenly Eye] and looked up at the sky. He saw Zhou Ping with calm eyes, his long sword slashing out a white sword aura.
The enormous eagle calamity was instantly split in two by the sword energy, leaving only a ghostly blue flame remaining in the sky.
shhh-
But the battle was not over yet, and several figures flew out from the surrounding dark clouds.
There were ancient god churches dressed in black robes, fusion factions in various outfits, and aurora realm law enforcement officers in formal attire!
There were thirteen people in total, but the strongest among them was only an eighth-level god, while the highest level in the Ancient God Church was only about Klein's.
"Let's join forces and subdue the Great Xia Sword Saint first, then we can talk about those two little guys."
The Ancient God Church, Takamagahara Tsukuyomi's agent, looked at the nine major realm forces, including the Fusion Faction, the Crimson Heaven Faction, and the Enforcers.
Everyone frowned slightly, but then they remembered that the Great Xia Sword Saint was a demigod.
Without joining forces, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
It would be better to deal with the Great Xia Sword Saint first, and then compete for Jiang Ye and Lin Qiye based on their own abilities.
The group nodded to the Church of the Ancient Gods.
"Alright, let's join forces and attack!"
Tsukuyomi's proxy shouted, raising his right hand: "Moonlight Embers!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky darkened, and a moon slowly rose.
The others also unleashed their ultimate moves without holding back at all.
Zhou Ping gripped his longsword, white sword energy covering its blade, and a terrifying aura of slaughter filled the sky.
"The Laws of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
"Within the Great Xia territory, there are nine major domains."
"capital offense!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Xia Sword Saint stepped into the air, the tip of his dragon-patterned longsword trailing a streak of light, splitting the descending night sky in two.
A sword aura as white as snow shot out like an ice dragon, whistling through the air wherever it passed.
The moon, obscured by distant clouds, was cleaved in two by the sword energy, and countless tiny flashes of lightning flickered in the crack.
All of their attacks vanished into nothingness under the terrifying sword energy.
With a single sword strike, Zhou Ping sheathed his sword, turned around, and the strange phenomenon in the sky vanished.
Only that sword light that pierced the sky transformed into specks of snow-white radiance, scattering down upon the world!
