Tribulation of Myriad Races

The various experts watched on as the battle continued.

In the warzone, Bai Feng was already dyed red with blood. He also looked completely exhausted. Endurance was not a strong point of his. And that was no secret to a lot of people.

This battle had lasted quite a while. The longer it lasted, the weaker he became. Anyone with an eye could see that he was already on the verge of defeat. If this continued, he would probably be too weak to even swing his sword anymore.

Xia Yuwen appeared calm and unhurried. Step by step, he reduced the space in which Bai Feng could move freely. He was constantly on guard against Bai Feng’s final attack. Up until now, Bai Feng had only used a single sword. His other sword had yet to be used.

As saber qi permeated the area, Bai Feng found the space around him becoming more and more restricted.

Xia Yuwen was advancing steadily and entrenching his position with each move. He was strong and arrogant, but during battle, he was meticulous and patient. Against an opponent like Bai Feng, a steady advance was the best option. Otherwise, defeat could easily come out of nowhere.

“Bai Feng, are you going to keep struggling? Show me your second Dragon Slaying Sword.”

“As you wish.”

With a grin, Bai Feng roared and lashed out with a sword. At the same time, a second sword dropped down from the sky. Two swords. One strong and the other weak.

“This sword is too weak.”

Xia Yuwen smiled and reached out to catch the weaker sword. At the same time, he swung his saber with his right hand at the sword coming from in front of him. That was the main sword. With a loud bang, the main sword was sent flying away.

The second sword was caught in Xia Yuwen’s hand. He gave the sword a cursory examination and frowned. His willpower erupted and wrapped around the sword as he studied it curiously. Just where did the second sword come from?

Was this the true form of Bai Feng’s character technique? Or was this an entirely different technique? While Xia Yuwen was thinking, Bai Feng swallowed a drop of blood essence. With a roar, his body enlarged and he charged Xia Yuwen.

“Ability blood essence? Still too weak.” Xia Yuwen said indifferently and struck the second sword with his willpower until the sword dimmed before casually tossing it aside. With his saber in hand, he faced the incoming Bai Feng.

Hiss!

Once again, numerous cuts were left on Bai Feng’s body. His clothes were torn apart, revealing his scarred body.

“Are you going to keep struggling?”

“Ill struggle with your mother!”

At that moment, the two swords that had been sent flying combined into one before shooting toward Xia Yuwen’s back.

Xia Yuwen was slightly confused when he sensed the strength of the incoming sword. It was not as strong as he had thought. Sure, it was not weak. In fact, it was strong enough to kill some weaker Cloudbreach cultivators. But it was still too weak for him.

He could probably survive this sword even if he was still a Skysoar. His saber flickered and reappeared behind him. With a loud boom, the saber met the sword. The two weapons started clashing.

Even without any weapon in hand, Xia Yuwen was still as overbearing as before. Fighting with bare hands, he landed several punches on Bai Feng’s body, causing him to bleed even more. The blood essence ability was completely incapable of harming Xia Yuwen.

Bai Feng ignored his injuries and swallowed a few more drops of blood essence. With a roar, he charged Xia Yuwen yet again. Abruptly, an intense killing intent erupted from his body. And another Dragon Slaying Sword appeared.

This new sword was very strong. It was even stronger than the sword formed of two swords. The surrounding experts blanked out. There was a third sword? Just what was going on? But Xia Yuwen was actually relieved. Yes. This was it. He knew that Bai Feng would not die so easily. This person definitely had another trump card. And he was proven right.

That sword was very strong. It was enough to kill Zhang Yu. Finally, Zhang Yu’s death no longer seemed so confusing.

“Sky Sundering!”

Xia Yuwen stayed cautious and roared. Nine dots of light appeared on his body. Those were the nine acupoints left in his body after acupoint fusion.

The nine dots of light were incomparably powerful. A faint primal aura started rising from Xia Yuwen’s body. That was the aura of the divines and devils, signifying that he had forged his physical body with the blood essence of divines and devils.

He lifted his hand, using his palm as the saber. With a roar, he swung his hand down. An intense killing intent erupted from his body as he unleashed his attack.

Bai Feng clenched his teeth and leaped into the sky. Holding the third Dragon Slaying Sword with both hands, he channeled his source qi and willpower into it before roaring, “Source Break!”

That was the third move of the Skybreak Technique. That was an incomparably gorgeous attack. It emanated a thick killing intent as all the characters in the sword erupted with all their strength.

Midair, a saber and a sword met.

Nobody said anything.

Only a bright wave of light rippled out from the point of collision.

The two combatants remained midair. The hand of Xia Yuwen that was being used as a saber was shining brightly. His entire body also looked similarly sturdy with the layer of golden light wrapped around his body. Right that moment, a crack sounded.

Accompanied by the crisp sound, the sword shattered. But a tear had also appeared on the surface of Xia Yuwen’s hand. Blood dripped out of the tear.

Xia Yuwen smiled, “Strong. This is good enough to kill even a Cloudbreach. Bai Feng, you are very strong. Unfortunately for you, I am stronger.”

The cut on his hand was only a light wound. Bai Feng’s strongest sword had failed to seriously injure him. As for Bai Feng, disbelief, fury, and indignance filled his eyes.

Why?

Was he really so strong?

“Time for you to die.”

Xia Yuwen softly said before chopping down at Bai Feng’s head with his left hand.

“I refuse to accept this result!”

A furious roar rang out, reverberating throughout the area. Wu Yuehua and the others started getting ready to move out. Shan Tianhao and the others also released their aura, looking like they were ready to fight.

“I, Bai Feng, am a top genius. I do not accept this! I refuse to accept this!”

Bai Feng roared in despair. But the sword in his hand had already shattered. Xia Yuwen merely sighed and said nothing. His hand continued chopping down toward Bai Feng’s head. It was time for Bai Feng to die.

“I can’t accept this!”

Bai Feng roared madly as his willpower and source qi erupted. This was his final struggle. Right that moment, Zhou Mingren’s eyes flickered as he looked at an empty spot near the two combatants. At almost the same moment, the other experts also discovered something.

The other Dragon Slaying Sword had been fighting Xia Yuwen’s saber all this while. Its aura was starting to drop, but abruptly, an intense radiance erupted from the body of the sword. The radiance seemed bright enough to illuminate the world. The sword was burning.

Whoosh!

With a loud boom, Xia Yuwen’s saber was shattered in one attack.

It broke.

The expression of Xia Yuwen, who was about to land his finishing blow on Bai Feng, changed while his sea of willpower shook. One of his Divine Characters had been destroyed. He couldn’t spare any time to turn and look at his destroyed weapon. With a roar, he brought both his palms together, manifesting a golden saber around his hands before swinging it down at Bai Feng.

“I guess I have still underestimated you.”

Xia Yuwen sounded furious.

“Yeah.”

Bai Feng roared with laughter. Behind Xia Yuwen, a sword shot over. Bai Fengs characters in the sword had been ignited.

Xia Yuwen merely gathered a large amount of source qi on his back to defend himself. He refused to turn around and insisted on killing Bai Feng. He had to land this finishing blow even if he had to suffer some injuries for it.

“Dumbass.”

The instant Xia Yuwen finished gathering his source qi on his back, yet another sword appeared in Bai Feng’s hand.

Dragon Slaying Sword!

A fourth sword!

Unlike the previous swords, this sword looked completely inconspicuous. But abruptly, 18 dots of light appeared within that sword.

Eighteen more Divine Characters were ignited.

“Let me send you to the afterlife.”

The announcement reverberated throughout the area.

“Cut!”

The sword swung out.

The first sword, the second sword, and the third sword had all been fakes. Well, that wasn’t accurate as each sword contained two characters. Thus, he had utilized a total of six characters and ignited them all to hide his strongest sword.

He had formed 28 characters in total. Of his 28 characters, 12 were the foundational characters of his character technique and 16 were the characters he had formed subsequently.

Including the sword in his hand, he had ignited 24 of his characters, leaving only 4 of them around. The 4 were drifting about in his sea of willpower, forming a tiny sword. That was the Dragon Slaying Sword he intended to preserve.

His Divine Characters burned, his sea of willpower shook, and his apertures started collapsing. The word “cut” resounded all over the area.

Whoosh!

Fast. The attack was too fast.

With a pop, the golden hands of Xia Yuwen were instantly severed. And the ignited characters were so hot that his blood evaporated before even flowing out of his stumps. Xia Yuwen’s face changed greatly. With a mad roar, all nine acupoints in his body exploded. An incomparably powerful wave of source qi erupted. A massive saber appeared and clashed against Bai Feng’s burning sword.

Once again, a saber and a sword met.

Once again, the collision was soundless.

An incomparably powerful shockwave erupted from the point of collision and swept through all obstacles in its path.

A nearby mountain was instantly cut into two.

Not far away, the faces of several Cloudbreach cultivators changed rapidly. They were just about to flee when the shockwave swept through them. Instantly, one of them was cut into two.

“Down.”

A clear voice rang out as the shockwave was instantly suppressed.

Zhou Mingren was frowning. After suppressing the shockwave, he reached out at the Cloudbreach cultivator that had been cut into two. A stream of white light flowed out of his palm as he forcefully rejoined the cut body.

A short while later, the Cloudbreach cultivator recovered enough to look down at the wound on his chest. He was deathly pale and fear covered his eyes. Grief gripped his heart. His body had actually been destroyed.

That was only a shockwave! And it had nearly killed him! Even though he had survived, he would probably need half a year or even a year to return to his peak condition. The various experts then returned their focus to the two combatants.

In the air, Bai Feng grinned. The sword in his hand was slowly breaking apart. His sea of willpower had suffered a heavy damage and all his apertures had been blocked. He had lost a lot of Divine Characters while his physical body was also starting to break down, with a large amount of blood flowing out of the numerous wounds on him.

In front of Bai Feng was Xia Yuwen. Like his student, Xia Yuwen had lost both his arms as well. But that wasn’t the point. More importantly, all nine of his acupoints had been destroyed and all his source qi had been drained to barely block that sword. The sword had not been fully blocked. A tear appeared on his forehead.

Blood flowed out.

Xia Yuwen said nothing. He stared at Bai Feng in disbelief. After meeting each other’s gaze, the two started dropping from the sky.

Bang!

Bang!

Both of them smashed into the ground.

Xia Yuwen looked like he had been sliced apart. Starting from his forehead, the tear spread to his nose, his lips, his chest, and all the way down to his torso.

While that was happening, Xia Yuwen was staring at the sky blankly. He wasn’t dead, but he was in complete disbelief.

He couldn’t understand. Why was there a fourth sword? Just what had Bai Feng done?

As for Bai Feng, his sea of willpower was in a complete mess. Even his main Divine Character had been destroyed in the fight. A large amount of blood was pouring out of his mouth, instantly forming a puddle of blood around him.

“Martial Uncle…save me…”

He personally thought that he could still be saved. Why had nobody caught him while he was falling from the sky? That martial uncle was truly unreliable! Only upon hearing his call for help did the surrounding experts recover from their stunned state. But they were still in shock and disbelief.

“Bai Feng…has destroyed his own character technique and even burned down his main Divine Character…”

Even if he survived, what difference would he be from a cripple after this? And what was the point in living like that? Even Zheng Yuming, with his serious injuries, still had a decent number of surviving Divine Characters. What about Bai Feng? How many characters did he still have? Could his sea of willpower withstand a backlash of this level?

…

“Xia Yuwen has actually been defeated.”

Outside the warzone, Wu Qi was in shock as well. Xia Yuwen, a third-stage Cloudbreach, had nearly been cut into two by Bai Feng. He had defended himself well against the first sword, the second sword, and even the third sword. Alas, he had failed to defend himself from the final sword.

All nine of his acupoints had been destroyed while his cultural weapon had broken apart. Could he even recover from this?

…

Meanwhile, Marquis Xia and a few others had odd expressions.

Director Ji muttered, “Four Dragon Slaying Swords. Don’t tell me that he has formed four swords before. This is definitely not the case. He must have disassembled his sword four times.”

Just how had Bai Feng accomplished that?

Suddenly, Director Ji’s hand shot out.

At the same time, Shan Tianhao and a few others were also reaching toward Bai Feng.

Rules? At this point, they no longer cared about rules. They were way too curious about how Bai Feng had managed to split his Dragon Slaying Sword.

“He is already crippled. Do me a favor and leave him…”

As Director Ji spoke, a golden seal smashed down at Shan Tianhao and the others. The seal enlarged as it dropped.

At the same time, a bright moon appeared in the sky.

The moon rose sharply before abruptly dropping. The moon was massive, looking like it was capable of blanketing the sky itself. The rapidly dropping moon was heading straight toward Zhou Mingren.

Zhou Mingren frowned and took a few steps back.

A boom rang out as Shan Tianhao and the others were smashed away. Then, Director Ji grabbed Bai Feng and pulled his hand back. Bai Feng landed on the ground behind Director Ji. With an empty look in his eyes and blood pouring out of his mouth, he softly complained, “Fuck! Be gentle!”

Director Ji merely laughed. Not far away, Zhou Mingren looked at Marquis Xia’s group and calmly said, “If you are going to get involved in this, why don’t you make your stand clear earlier? If the Xia Family does not allow this, nothing can happen here.”

Marquis Xia shrugged, “This is unrelated to me. It’s Old Ji. Talk to him.”

Zhou Mingren said nothing.

Meanwhile, Shan Tianhao furiously said, “You guys are the ones who had declared this a warzone. Why are you going back on your own words?”

“It’s Old Ji.”

Marquis Xia repeated himself. After a short thought, he said to Old Ji, “You will be fined for that. You’re not allowed to do anything after this. If you keep taking part, you will be sent to the Allheaven Battlefield to kill an enemy Sunmoon before you can return. Everyone, is this fine?”

“Hand over Bai Feng!”

Shan Tianhao demanded furiously. But Director Ji ignored the demand and left with Bai Feng.

Hand over his ass. He was still very curious about the splitting of the sword. How had Bai Feng done that? How magical.

“Ji”

Before Shan Tianhao could finish yelling, Director Ji suddenly flickered before appearing before him. A bright moon appeared in his hand as he pushed his palm out.

Bang!

Shan Tianhao’s flesh was instantly destroyed. A second attack followed, crushing Shan Tianhao’s bones.

Looking at the mass of flesh in front of him that was trying to rebuild a body, Director Ji coldly said, “This is my answer. Is it enough for you? If not, get Zhou Polong to come see me.”

Nobody said anything.

Director Ji glanced at the crowd and said, “You are free to fight as much as you want. But I am also free to protect the people I want. A mere Mountainsea dares to obstruct me in Great Xia?”

His gaze landed on Zhou Mingren as he said, “Vice Principal Zhou, you can try me if you’re unhappy with this.”

Zhou Mingren said nothing.

“I, Ji Hong, am only trying to protect a puny Skysoar. You dare run your mouth against me for something like this?”

Director Ji scanned the crowd and asked, “Anyone here has anything else to say?”

Nobody said anything.

“Then I’ll be taking my leave.”

Director Ji smiled and flew away with Bai Feng in hand.
