Chapter 519: Chapter 520 Disintegration [Second Update for Subscription]

"What do you know? What do you know? What do you idiots know?" Dugu Zheng cursed at the crowd. "First, my father favors that scum, Dugu Ce. If I don’t prove myself, the River and Mountains we fight for will be inherited by him, not me! Although I have the talent of Fusu, I have no desire to end up like him. Therefore, I must make my mark!

"Second, my father left the Six Sword Slaves to me!"

Six Sword Slaves?

Upon hearing this, his subordinates were all taken aback.

The Six Sword Slaves, sharing a name with an organization from a certain anime, were indeed an order assembled in reality by the Sword Demon, based on that very concept. They were the same six: Zhen Gang, Duan Shui, Chaotic God, Evil Spirits, Soul Turner, and Soul Extinguisher. Their swords were six of the legendary King of Yue’s Eight Swords.

They were contemporaries of the Black and White Swords among the Seven Saints of Dragon Country. Back then, they were all renowned swordsmen, but those six had been defeated by the Black and White Swords. Later, after receiving guidance from the Sword Demon, they were bestowed with famed swords.

Volume Ten of King Jia of Jin’s *Lost Chronicles* once recorded that King Goujian of Yue worshipped the god of Mount Kunwu with a white horse and a white ox, harvesting fine gold from the mountain to forge eight swords: Sun Eclipse, Duan Shui, Soul Turner, Hanging Scissors, Shocking Salamander, Soul Extinguisher, Demon Repeller, and Zhen Gang.

With these renowned swords in hand, they achieved a resounding reputation upon their emergence, intimidating every sect, large and small, across the Jianghu of Dragon Country. Shaolin, Wudang, Kongtong, and others were all defeated one by one by the Six Sword Slaves.

When the Six Sword Slaves fought together, even the Sword Demon himself admitted that he would lose to them if he were careless for even a moment. With the Six Sword Slaves lying in wait, they just had to catch Wu Tian off guard, and he would surely be no match for them.

Wang Congming and the others chuckled. Seeing Dugu Zheng’s confident demeanor, they felt too embarrassed to say it out loud. You’re underestimating Wu Tian far too much!

More than three hundred people followed behind Wu Tian. As they continued their journey, despite the encroaching darkness, many passersby took notice. Reporters had already hurried to the scene. The events were being broadcast live across Dragon Country on both television and the internet. Nine out of ten people in Dragon Country were watching. They hadn’t expected the Martial God to reappear so suddenly and were curious about what kind of confrontation would erupt between him and the Sword Demon. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Behind Wu Tian, the three hundred Immortal Seekers exuded an unbeatable, soaring momentum. With every step they took, the earth trembled, and the live broadcast cameras shook.

Wu Tian’s eyes were calm; he considered the Sword Demon to be nothing more than an ant. Not only that, but in the eyes of Liu Tianji and the others, the Sword Demon was no different from a servant. Even the weakest of the Immortal Seekers were at the Foundation Establishment realm and could contend with him. Poor Sword Demon, so blissfully unaware.

Finally, Wu Tian and his group arrived before the hotel named "Parking to Adore the Maple Woods in the Evening." The area in front of the hotel was packed with people, all of them members of the Sword God Company. They had been brainwashed to worship the Sword Demon as a Heavenly God. The Sword Demon had ordered them to protect Dugu Zheng and Dugu Ce, and they were ready to lay down their lives to do so. They didn’t yet know that Dugu Ce had already snuck out and been killed.

This group numbered in the thousands. Thanks to the Martial God Wu Tian’s fame, a fervor for learning martial arts had swept the nation. While Wu Tian was underground, the Sword Demon had risen to power. He started a company that claimed to teach martial arts, and his disciples became as numerous as carp crossing a river. Now, the Sword Demon’s disciples across Dragon Country numbered nearly one hundred thousand. Without such a foundation, how could he possibly aspire to seize the position of Lord of the Four Seas?

The reporters swallowed hard but still mustered the courage to broadcast the scene. Everyone watching the live broadcast was dumbfounded.

"So many people!"

"The Sword Demon has this many followers?"

"Of course. Many of my classmates joined his company."

"There are thousands of them. It would take hours to kill them all, right?"

"Yeah..."

"..."

Most people watching the live broadcast were concerned for Wu Tian. The sheer number of opponents clearly put his side at a disadvantage, as he only had three hundred people with him. On the Sword Demon’s side were thousands of men, each grasping a sword. Their combined Sword Qi billowed like a savage beast, striking terror into the hearts of all who watched. They were all worried for Wu Tian because the Sword Demon was deeply unpopular. During Wu Tian’s disappearance, the Sword Demon had reigned supreme. He was arrogant and had harmed countless married women; he seemed to have a particular fondness for other men’s wives.

"Kill!"

The moment the two sides met, the thousands of men wasted no words, charging straight for Wu Tian and his followers. Thousands of voices roared the same word—"Kill!" The shout converged into a sonic tsunami, surging through the air and exploding like an artillery barrage. Thousands of swords were raised, their Sword Qi surging and gathering.

This was a Sword Array formed by thousands of men. The emergence of this array startled the onlooking passersby and journalists, their legs shaking involuntarily.

The viewers watching the live broadcast were also astounded. A Sword Array formed by several thousand men... In the past, such a force could have obliterated the likes of the Axe Gang or the Red Flower Society overnight. The power of the Sword Array was enough to make anyone’s scalp tingle and their heart pound with terror. Clearly, these thousands intended to fight Wu Tian and his followers to the death. To any outsider, this seemed certain beyond any doubt.

But the onlookers didn’t know the truth. The thousands of disciples had no intention of killing Wu Tian; they knew they couldn’t. Their plan was simply to kill the people behind him and drain some of his energy. Then, while Wu Tian was focused on confronting them, the hidden Six Sword Slaves would strike when he least expected it. Wu Tian’s death would be certain. This was the strategy laid out by Dugu Zheng.

But Wu Tian paid the thousands of men no mind. Without even turning his head, he asked lazily, "Who wants to go?"

"Me!"

"Me!"

"Me!"

This scene not only shocked the surrounding bystanders and the live broadcast audience but also enraged the thousands of disciples. It looked as though Wu Tian didn’t plan to act himself, instead letting his followers step forward. Worse, they were eagerly vying to take on thousands all by themselves.

Humiliating! This was utterly humiliating!

"Kill!"

Since becoming disciples of the Sword Demon and learning the Sword Array, who didn’t treat them with the utmost respect? Even the so-called city leaders were polite to them. But Wu Tian and his followers were clearly looking down on them.

Thousands charged at once, their fierce momentum like an unstoppable, torrential flood. Thousands moved as one, their Sword Qi surging like a dragon, embodying the old saying: "Shaking a mountain is easy, but shaking the Yue Family Army is hard."

Yet, Wu Tian couldn’t be bothered to spare them a single glance. He calmly turned to a disciple standing behind Yin Fengxue and said, "You go."

"Yes!" Blood Song nodded.

He immediately shot forward on his Flying Sword. His hands formed a spell seal as he unleashed a Cultivation Sword Technique. One sword transformed into the shadows of a hundred. Then, sword after sword rained down like meteors.

Wu Tian hadn’t even made a move. With just a single one of his followers drawing a sword, the army of thousands was instantly thrown into disarray.
