Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1048 - 1046: One Sword, Nine Passes

Only three female competitors from the Monsters made it to the rematch. Pretty Girl and Lan Moqian both showcased astonishing strength in their previous matches, each securing two victories. This match was almost a deciding factor for which Monster female contestant would stand at the top. The other female competitor from the Monsters, who was in the lower half of the draw, had already lost once.

The referee for the match was still the Earth Yin Heavenly Spirit Emperor.

"Both sides, prepare."

Lan Moqian looked at Pretty Girl across from him, without revealing his Behemoth giant beast true form, maintaining his human appearance instead. His right hand grasped at the void, and a heavy sword had already fallen into his palm.

The heavy sword was two meters long and more than half a foot wide, with a dark body that looked extremely heavy. The sword seemed blunt, but it emitted an ancient aura.

Lan Moqian held the sword hilt with both hands and rested the heavy sword on the ground, closing his eyes as if feeling something. The moment he closed his eyes, his entire being gave Pretty Girl the sensation that he had vanished out of thin air. Although clearly standing there, it was as if he had ceased to exist.

Was this Unity of Heaven and Earth? His entire body had merged with the heavens and the earth, with the power of the world becoming part of his stance.

Pretty Girl’s eyes immediately became serious. Unlike the first two matches, she did not summon her Space Field right away. A flash of red light at her brow, and the Asura God’s Sword was already in her hand.

An indescribable aura appeared, and Pretty Girl seemed to merge with the Asura God’s Sword.

While Lan Moqian seemed to disappear, Pretty Girl at this moment became one with the sword, as if she and the sword were one. In the world, it seemed that only this sword existed. When the audience looked at the Asura God’s Sword, any darkness in their hearts involuntarily gave rise to a feeling of shame, trembling in body and mind under the aura of the Asura God’s Sword.

The Asura God’s Sword is a Sword of Justice, a Sword of Judgment, an enforcing sword. Even when it was in the Divine Realm, it was one of the strongest super divine weapons, even surpassing Tang San’s Sea God’s Trident in rank.

"Begin!" The Earth Yin Heavenly Spirit Emperor instantly announced the start of the match without delay. The sword beams of both parties had already fallen onto the barrier she had previously set up, making even someone with her Cultivation base feel uncomfortable.

"Buzz—"

The instant the barrier was removed, Lan Moqian had already opened his eyes. Clutching the sword hilt tightly, he suddenly lifted it from below upwards, slicing up!

A dark light seemed to instantly absorb all the light in the world, heading straight for Pretty Girl.

Pretty Girl’s eyes were bright; she did not dodge, but instead struck downwards with the Asura God’s Sword instantly.

The Asura God’s Sword never retreats, regardless of the opponent it faces.

"Clang—" The piercing roar was almost instantaneously reverberating through the entire competition field. The next moment, the surrounding protection cover made the sound of shattering.

Deep blue light fell from the sky in an instant, enveloping the protection cover. The Earth Yin Heavenly Spirit Emperor took action, fully protecting the cover.

As the swords collided, on the surface, it seemed neither used the power of their Domains. But the shockwave produced at the moment of collision was the most violent since the start of the competition.

Pretty Girl’s long hair turned dark red at this moment, and her eyes shone extraordinarily deep and solemn. In her hands, the Asura God’s Sword was emitting brilliant red light.

On the other side, Lan Moqian blocked Pretty Girl’s strike with the Asura God’s Sword using only his heavy sword. With each collision of the two longswords, the blunt heavy sword vibrated continuously. With each vibration, it seemed as though sword shadows were merging into it, and these sword shadows were shattering under the pressure of the Asura God’s Sword.

"Boom—" The heavy sword vibrated fiercely, and more than a dozen sword shadows shattered at once, Lan Moqian staggered back in response. His figure, significantly more robust than Pretty Girl’s, seemed somewhat unsteady.

"What a sword!" Tang San exclaimed in admiration, standing in front of the rest area.

"Indeed, what a sword!" Ning Chenen’s voice was filled with shock.

Lan Moqian is his wife; of course, he knows what that Heavy Sword in her hand is.

As a direct descendant of the Behemoth Clan, why would she use a sword? That has a lot to do with the Heavy Sword in Lan Moqian’s hands.

The Heavy Sword is named Sorrow! Without a doubt, it is a divine tool, an ancient divine artifact obtained by the Sky-breaking Great Demon Emperor by chance. This artifact has only one characteristic, which is quaking. Not just any quaking, but one that can unleash a shock at the level of the user’s own artifact level.

Which means, when Lan Moqian strikes with her sword, the Sorrow Sword can burst forth an attack with her power multiplied. The quaking is only at the level of power. And strength is what the Behemoth Clan excels at. After a prolonged selection, the Sky-breaking Great Demon King finally decided that Lan Moqian would inherit the Sorrow Sword.

Lan Moqian did not disappoint him; not only does she have astonishing talent in strength, but she also has a profound understanding of swordsmanship. She once cultivated with the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor and has exceptional natural talent in the way of the sword.

Sorrow Sword’s quaking has now reached the stage of One Sword, Nine Passes. That is, with one strike, she can unleash nine shockwaves of the same formidable power. She is a top-tier Great Demon King, and a member of the strength-focused Behemoth Clan at that. When she wields the Sorrow Sword, not even Jin Anguo may necessarily be her match, and at the very least, there would be a possibility for an equal battle. Ning Chenen could only passively defend, chased around and attacked by his wife.

However, faced with the Asura God’s Sword today, Sorrow Sword’s One Sword, Nine Passes collapsed entirely, all nine passes.

The Asura God’s Sword, with its immensely solid Sword Intent of Judgement, didn’t waver in the slightest under the nine passes. Instead, Lan Moqian felt the Sorrow Sword itself tremble and had to retreat temporarily.

This was not a gap in cultivation base, but a disparity at the artifact level.

The "good sword" that Tang San spoke of was naturally the Sorrow Sword. It clashed head-on with the Asura God’s Sword and was not destroyed, proving itself to be an extremely formidable divine tool, surely above the Light Dragon Spear.

The bitter exclamation of "good sword" from Ning Chenen was naturally acknowledging the suppression of the Sorrow Sword by the Asura God’s Sword, admiring the latter.

With the Shadow Demon Sword as its vessel, the Asura God’s Sword became a real entity, and it’s unknowingly many times more powerful than before. With it in her hand, Pretty Girl is more than just a tiger with wings added.

The instant following their initial collision, both parties had already made their moves. The Sorrow Sword instantly transformed into numerous sword shadows in the air; the Heavy Sword, edgeless and masterfully artless. Lan Moqian is not only skilled at brute force but is also an absolute master of swordsmanship in this world.

Dozens of sword beams blossomed in mid-air, each carrying different layers of quaking. In an instant, the dense sword shadows had surrounded Pretty Girl from all directions.

Am I not as good as you with the sword? If I’m inferior in terms of divine tools, then I will suppress you with swordsmanship and cultivation base.

Lan Moqian had carefully observed Pretty Girl’s displayed cultivation base during the competition and was confident that in terms of cultivation base level, Pretty Girl was inferior to her, and in terms of bloodline power, they were both First level Bloodline. However, ultimately, the Behemoth Clan is one of the strongest races of the era, and she had great confidence in her own bloodline.

Facing the layers of sword beams, Pretty Girl chose not to teleport away but rather, her Asura God’s Sword moved in circles and draws, tracing motions like an antelope’s horns, with the sky seemingly sparkling with starlight.

Lan Moqian’s sword was extremely fast; the seemingly heavy Sorrow Sword was as light as a feather in her hands, allowing her to wield it at will with astonishing speed.

On the contrary, Pretty Girl with her Asura God’s Sword appeared very slow, yet it seemed to flow in accordance with the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. With each circular motion and draw, she deflected all those layers of sword beams into the void, with not one being able to reach her.
