Song of Adolescence-Chapter 434 The Sword of Warring Kingdoms

After the long wait, everyone finally saw the challenger who had come to answer the number one swordsman under Heaven. Indeed, the challenger came from the Yong'an Prince Residence, but he wasn't the Lei Wujie that everyone had been expecting.

He was Yong'an Prince Xiao Se.

It was like a lightning bolt exploded in the hearts of everyone present.

"Now this is interesting." Xiao Yu laughed out loud. "Patriarch, what do you think this means?"

Su Changhe shook his head. "I don't know what he's trying to prove, but I know this. As far as we're concerned, it could probably mean something else."

"Whatever, just kill him." Xiao Yu's eyes glinted with a murderous intent. "Then, everything will be much more simple!"

The White Prince Xiao Chong looked at Xiao Se downstairs and asked doubtfully, "Since when did lao-Liu learn the sword?"

"Do the swordsmen of our generation like to compete for numbers? I have thirteen swords, that Luo Mingxuan from Snow Moon City has seven, Xiao Se brought nine." Wushuang laughed. "This is a tactic of a sea of swords."

"Please instruct me." Xiao Se hooked his hand lightly, and the famous sword handed down by the Poetry Immortal of the previous dynasty, Windswept Rain, was already in his hand. He stomped his foot on the ground once.

Everyone felt as if a slight tremor ran through the ground beneath their feet.

Luo Qingyang's expression suddenly became serious. He glanced at Xiao Se and said in a low voice, "Half a step to Spirit Wandering?"

Xiao Se brushed the fingers of his left hand along the blade of his sword. "Although you call it half a step, it's possible to spend an entire lifetime not crossing it. Mister Luo has been half a step to Spirit Wandering for over ten years, but can you cross that line?"

Luo Qingyang looked at the sky and murmured, "The gap of a foot of water can be crossed with one step. But, if you wet your shoes, you will lose the battle. Looks like my trip to Heavenly Revelations City has not been in vain. I've been in seclusion for so many years only to realise so many young martial experts under Heaven have appeared!"

"Is Mister Luo here to kill me?" Xiao Se asked.

Luo Qingyang nodded. "I have no intent to kill, but I have a reason to kill."

"In that case, I won't ask anymore. Let's just fight." Xiao Se took a flying leap and swung the Windswept Rain in his hand viciously. "Since Mister wants to kill me, then I can only kill Mister first."

Although the appearance of the Windswept Rain sword was full of grace and poignance, and although the history of the sword was elegant and fascinating, the swordplay that Xiao Se used was extremely tyrannical and vicious!

Within a square inch of Earth, extinguish all life.

Extinguish Life!

Luo Qingyang also unsheathed his Nine Songs sword in an instant. He made his move, and it was also that extremely fierce and dangerous Greater Master of Fate sword dance!

Neither of them bothered with testing each other's skill and their first moves were filled with killing intent.

The two swords collided, and the sword aura exploded in all directions. The onlookers who were nearer the duel felt as if the corners of their clothes were being torn apart. Then, they suddenly felt a burning pain on their faces, and when they touched their faces, they realised that there were cuts caused by the sword auras. They were so shocked that they retreated hurriedly.

Only then did they understand that this duel was very different from the previous two. From their first moves, this duel was a battle of life and death.

Luo Qingyang and Xiao Se brushed past each other. Luo Qingyang turned around and praised, "Warring Kingdoms Sword, Extinguish Life realm. I didn't expect I would have a chance to witness the sword of the Xiao Clan imperial family in my lifetime. It was said that His Majesty Xiao Yi used this sword to conquer all under Heaven. It's an honour to see it in action."

Xiao Se straightened himself and looked at the sword in his hand. With a light sigh, he recited, "Know where you're going, just carry a sword and travel."

The famous sword, Windswept Rain, fractured into seven pieces and dropped onto the ground. Xiao Se tossed away the hilt without hesitation, walked back to the cluster of swords and drew forth another sword.

"It's the Warring Kingdoms Sword!" Xiao Chong moved excitedly to the window and exclaimed, "It's actually the Warring Kingdoms Sword!"

"He actually mastered the swordplay of our founding ancestor? How interesting. Warring Kingdoms Sword is the most difficult swordplay under Heaven to learn. Xiao Se is really full of surprises." Xiao Yu gripped the wine cup tightly in his hand. "But the more he's like that, the more I can't wait for him to die!"

Xie Xuan nodded and said, "No wonder Xiao Se brought nine swords along. It's because he's using the Warring Kingdoms Sword." 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

"Why does he need nine swords to use the Warring Kingdoms Sword? Is the swordplay so complex?" Li Fansong was puzzled.

"The Warring Kingdoms Sword was the swordplay created by Beili's founding emperor, Xiao Yi. Among all swords under Heaven, this sword was the most steeped in killing attacks, and the swordplay is extremely forceful. Ordinary swords wouldn’t be able to withstand this swordplay. Back then, Emperor Xiao used the Heaven Breached sword which easily stood up to the pressure. Xiao Ruofeng's Celestial Palace could also withstand it. But, other than the top ten famous swords, it's really difficult to find other swords that can match this swordplay. Even within the Heavenly Sword Vault, he could only find these nine fine swords, which could just barely hold out," Xie Xuan explained.

"Fallen Blossom." Xiao Se huffed a sigh. "The former sword of Princess Hualuo. They're all good swords. What a pity."

A strong wind blew past.

Xiao Se started moving in a frenzied manner.

Holding his sword, Xiao Se swept aside everything in front of him.

The blade of the sword emitted a loud screeching sound.

Where did the sound come from?

Because the wind was being torn apart by the sword!

"This is Langya-wangshu's sword power." Xiao Chong closed his eyes, listening to that sound and that familiar feeling. "This is Breaking Tempest?"

Xiao Se had progressed straight into the next realm, from Extinguish Life to Breaking Tempest.

Luo Qingyang changed his sword power, and it became ghostly. Every sword was soundless, eerie and demonic.

Nine Songs sword dance, the Mountain Spirit.

Xiao Se slammed his sword at Luo Qingyang.

The whistling of the wind stopped instantly, as if he had been brought into a world of silence. In this world, there was only Luo Qingyang's and his swords. His surroundings were ghostly, eerily cold and mournful, just like the ghosts who lived in the mountains.

The Fallen Blossom sword broke suddenly.

Xiao Se retreated sharply, and Luo Qingyang followed with a sword move.

Xiao Se waved his left hand hurriedly and whispered, "The ultimate produces two forms, the two forms produce the four phenomena, and the four phenomena produce the eight trigrams."

A bagua appeared before him.

Luo Qingyang was taken aback. "The internal energy you've cultivated is the Bagua Core Formula? A Daoist core formula?"

Xiao Se sneered. "My shifu is Ji Ruofeng and he practised all martial arts under Heaven. I'm not far off from him! Not just Daoist arts, I also know Buddhist martial arts!"

While the two of them were talking, Luo Qingyang came right up to him with one sword and stabbed through the bagua pattern. Xiao Se was forced to retreat by the sword power, and he fell back to where his cluster of swords were.

"The difference between them is clear!" Su Changhe said solemnly.

Xiao Yu's eyes brightened. "That's it for him?"

"If his swordplay was really imparted by Langya-wangshu, then this is indeed as far as he goes." Xiao Chong sighed. "This swordplay is too difficult. Breaking Tempest is already the limit."

Xie Xuan chuckled. "If that's really all Xiao Se can do, he wouldn't have come here."

Xiao Se waved his long sleeves, and swept out three swords at the same time!

He grabbed the first sword and swung it violently.

The sword broke!

Xiao Se grabbed another sword and swung it again.

The sword broke!

Xiao Se leaped up, grabbed the last sword, and slashed it down violently!

The mournful aura of the Mountain Spirit was instantly torn apart, and the soundless world shattered. The wind roared fiercely and overlaid faintly, something that sounded like the roar of a dragon.

Xiao Se's sword slashed down and ripped through Luo Qingyang's sleeve.

Luo Qingyang retreated hurriedly.

Xiao Se's lips curled in a crooked smirk. In that moment, he no longer exuded that air of lethargy and laziness. His entire posture was filled with arrogance and an ultimate intent.

The third realm of the Sword of Warring Kingdoms, Berserk Dragon.
