Chapter 493: A Sword
Ding——!!
At the moment the sound of the sword echoed.
The third seat, sitting beside the underground altar, suddenly widened his eyes in terror.
He abruptly looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the heavy ground, catching sight of the figure standing above the clouds, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“This sword intent…”
…
In the courtyard.
The lazy dog that had been dozing on the ground suddenly bristled, quickly getting up and staring intently at the sky above.
“Woof woof…”
A low growl escaped its throat, but it dared not bark.
Its limbs trembled slightly; even though it tried its best to appear fierce, its body uncontrollably retreated…
…
Shen Qingzhu ran to the window, staring blankly at the clouds above, feeling an unprecedented sense of palpitations.
Although he couldn’t see the figure above the clouds,
the sword intent that filled the world seemed to have revealed his identity…
“Why did they come so quickly…?” he murmured to himself.
The ninth seat walked over to him, gazing at the clouds, his previously regained color draining away once more.
“A human pinnacle has personally arrived? How is that possible… How did he find out?” The ninth seat’s eyes were filled with confusion.
He gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, then quickly headed toward the underground altar.
“I’ll go find the third seat; don’t run around.”
In the corridor, Shen Qingzhu stood alone, staring at the clouds above, lost in thought.
…
Above the clouds.
A young man in a black shirt, carrying a sword box, quietly looked down at the manor below.
“North suburbs, No. 42 East An Street abandoned manor… This should be the place.” Zhou Ping murmured,
“Fortunately, I found it before it activated; otherwise…
In this special time period,
the Great Xia cannot afford to be disturbed.”
Ding——!!
The sword box behind him automatically popped open, and faintly, a slight dragon’s roar mixed with the sound of the sword echoed, rolling through the sky like thunder.
An ancient long sword flew into Zhou Ping’s hand.
The slender sword body trembled continuously, as if it were jumping for joy, as if it were cheering!
At the end of the sword body, two complex ancient inscriptions were carved.
—【Dragon Elephant】.
Zhou Ping grasped the sword hilt, squinting at the manor beneath him. After locking onto a specific location, he gently thrust the Dragon Elephant sword downward.
Boom——!!!
A thunderous sound erupted from above the clouds.
A phantom of the sword’s edge pierced through the thick clouds, the hundred-meter-long sword body cutting through the heavens and the earth, like thunder, instantly striking down to the ground!
The sword light was like snow!
The terrifying sword energy surged like roaring waves, rolling between heaven and earth.
Beneath that phantom of the sword’s edge, the heavy earth felt as thin as rice paper, the sword intent tearing a massive gash in the surface, penetrating the ground, precisely landing on that gray-white altar!
Dong——!
The sword light swept across the altar, instantly cleaving it in half!
The ground trembled violently, thick smoke billowing out from the altar, engulfing the entire underground chamber.
At this moment, the third seat, closest to the altar, felt his pupils suddenly constrict.
The residual sword energy surged like a tide, crashing against his chest, sending him flying like a kite, spitting out a mouthful of blood mid-air, crashing into the corner and fainting, his breath extremely weak.
The ninth seat, who had just reached the staircase and was about to enter the underground chamber, was forced to stop.
In the next moment, a thick cloud of dust erupted from the entrance, causing him to cough repeatedly.
…
In the sky.
Zhou Ping saw the altar that had been cleaved in two, his furrowed brow slowly relaxing.
Just as he was about to take action, his gaze suddenly sharpened, glancing at the void beside him.
“Concealing and revealing.” Zhou Ping spoke calmly.
With a light slash of the Dragon Elephant sword in his hand, he cut open a section of space, forcing a man in a black tailcoat to emerge, his face extremely pale.
“Who are you?” Zhou Ping asked.
“I… I was just passing by.” The man, Yiyu, stammered, a forced smile twitching at the corners of his mouth, “Really, I was just passing by.”
At this moment, Yiyu’s mindset had completely collapsed.
Damn it…
How did this person get summoned here?!
They had clearly covered all traces; how did the higher-ups of the Night Watch discover it?
Even if they found out, they didn’t have to send a Sword Saint, right?!
Fighting was impossible; even though his specialty was escaping, he still had no confidence in successfully fleeing from this Sword Saint. Now he could only hope to distance himself from the altar below and escape quickly.
“Oh.”
Zhou Ping nodded, “Then you can leave.”
Yiyu breathed a sigh of relief…
Just as he turned to leave, a streak of sword light suddenly erupted from Zhou Ping’s hand!
“…Damn it, you grandma’s handmade delicious crab buns!”
Yiyu’s body was instantly torn in half by the sword light, the excruciating pain causing him to lose his composure, cursing out a profanity he didn’t even understand.
The black tailcoat burst forth with a flash of black light, instantly repairing his severed lower limbs. Yiyu turned to look at Zhou Ping, who had an expressionless face, his complexion extremely pale.
He knew he had been targeted.
Relying solely on himself, escaping was going to be very difficult.
He lowered his head and shouted at the manor below, “What are you waiting for? If I die, you won’t survive either!”
In the courtyard of the manor, the dog let out a low growl, a conflicted look appearing in its eyes. Then it opened its massive mouth and howled at the sky:
“Woof——!!”
In the next moment, it transformed into a hundred-meter-long azure-patterned earth dragon, its enormous body crushing the entire courtyard into ruins. Its massive wings flapped powerfully, creating a hurricane that shattered all the windows on the side of the manor facing the courtyard!
The Wind Pulse Earth Dragon soared into the sky!
The pressure of the peak “Klein” realm erupted from its body, and a loud dragon’s roar echoed through heaven and earth.
It shot up into the clouds, catching Yiyu mid-air, its wings flapping like a streak of azure lightning, quickly fleeing into the distance!
Zhou Ping quietly watched Yiyu and the Wind Pulse Earth Dragon disappear into the distance, letting out a long sigh.
“Such a hassle…”
Ding——!
A sound of sword ringing echoed.
His figure had already vanished from the spot.
…
On the other side.
Lin Qiye and the others jumped down from the Flame Pulse Earth Dragon, staring at the devastated manor before them, their expressions becoming strange.
The Flame Pulse Earth Dragon transformed into a human form, respectfully standing behind Lin Qiye.
“It seems to be over…” Bai Li Pangpang looked at the terrifying sword mark on the ground, along with the faint sword energy still emanating, feeling a bit anxious, “Brother Zhuo… he wouldn’t have sacrificed himself, would he?”
Lin Qiye’s spiritual energy swept across half the manor, and he let out a slight sigh of relief.
“He is still alive… However, the other [Believers] are still alive too.”
