Chapter 1997: Human Slaying Sword Intent

Translator: Legge 

Yun Ting was truly delighted.

The Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts were both in the hands of a single person. Furthermore, they were in front of him—this was a gift from the heavens!

What were opportunities?

This!

As long as he defeated Su Zimo, he would be able to obtain the two sword arts and fuse them together!

“Good, good, good!”

After laughing, Yun Ting nodded repeatedly. “It’s best that you mastered the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts.”

“This way, I don’t have to hold back. I’ll let you witness the true might of the Human Slaying Sword Art!”

The stronger Su Zimo was, the more excited Yun Ting was!

In his eyes, all his opponents were his sword testing stones and would only make his Sword Dao sharper and unstoppable!

“You’ve only mastered one of the three great sword arts. No matter how strong the Human Slaying Sword Art is, how can it fight against Heaven and Earth?!”

Su Zimo conjured the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts with both hands and sneered at the energetic Yun Ting.

“Hahahaha!”

Yun Ting stood in midair and was surrounded by countless sword qi. His black hair danced as he laughed. “Today, I’ll tell you why the Human Slaying Sword is the top of the three great sword arts!”

Even with the Heaven Slaying Sword hovering above his head, Yun Ting’s aura was still unparalleled and could not be suppressed by the Soaring Serpent and Blue Dragon!

With every word, the sharpness of Yun Ting’s body intensified, as though he wanted to break through the world and sever the void!

Yun Ting’s figure turned blurry and was faintly discernible in midair.

In its place was a sharp sword with torrential killing intent!

Looking at the current Yun Ting, Su Zimo gradually understood.

He finally understood why the Human Slaying Sword Art is the top of the three great sword arts.

Right then, Yun Ting’s voice sounded once more.

“Although the expert who created this sword art is not from the Heavenly World, he is still a human.”

“When the heaven’s killing intent is released, the stars are shifted out of alignment.”

“When the earth’s killing intent is released, the Dragon Snake shall rise!”

“When the human’s killing intent is released, Heaven and Earth shall topple!”

“The intention of this sword art is to fight against Heaven and Earth with the body of a human! Everywhere it points, even Heaven and Earth shall topple and give way!”

After saying that, Yun Ting’s figure vanished completely and in its place was a sword that was about to tear Heaven and Earth apart with extreme killing power!

Apart from its killing power, the Human Slaying Sword Art contained an unyielding sword intent that rose against the tides and could not be suppressed by Heaven and Earth!

Although the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts were strong, they were way too inferior in terms of intent and were countered by the Human Slaying Sword Art.

The Human Slaying Sword slashed forward!

Boom!

There was no sound of metal clashing when the three great sword arts collided. Instead, there was a loud bang!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Immediately after, a series of cracking sounds could be heard from midair.

Cracks appeared on the Heaven Slaying Sword, Soaring Serpent and Blue Dragon.

Although the light on the Human Slaying Sword dimmed significantly, it was still filled with an extremely sharp edge that could destroy the world!

The Human Slaying Sword Art was way too strong!

Even the Heaven and Earth Slaying Swords could not defend against the might of the Human Slaying Sword.

Swoosh!

The Human Slaying Sword charged through the encirclement of the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts and descended from the skies, slashing towards Su Zimo!

Although the entire process sounded slow, it happened in an instant.

After destroying the two sword arts, the Human Slaying Sword descended on Su Zimo’s head without any pause and did not give him any time to react.

At that moment, Yun Ting was slightly stunned as well.

Unknowingly, a gigantic turtle shell had formed in front of Su Zimo. It was filled with divine powers and shone brightly.

There were complicated ravines on the turtle shell that shone mysteriously!

Innate divine power, Spirit Turtle Shield!

Under normal circumstances, Su Zimo did not have time to activate that innate divine power.

However, after he sensed the sword intent contained by the Human Slaying Sword Art, he realized that the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts could not defend against it at all.

It was a complete suppression of strength, aura and intent!

Therefore, after releasing the two sword arts, Su Zimo did not pause at all and forcefully activated the Spirit Turtle Shield!

Divine powers and secret skills such as the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts as well as the Spirit Turtle Shield consumed a lot of Essence Spirit.

If it was any other Black Immortal, their Essence Spirits would not be able to withstand the release of those three divine powers and secret skills in a short period of time and would collapse on the spot!

Thankfully, Su Zimo’s Essence Spirit had already reached the Earth Immortal realm.

Furthermore, he was a Green Lotus Essence Spirit and could withstand many divine powers and secret skills in a short period of time.

The Spirit Turtle Shield was the strongest defensive technique in the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness.

The Human Slaying Sword Art was the peak of killing power.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the Human Slaying Sword Art struck the Spirit Turtle Shield and let out a deafening bang!

The entire hall shook!

On the other side of the battlefield, the four paragons and Tang Ziyi were alarmed.

The sword and shield collided and released a blinding light.

The five of them merely glanced from the corner of their eyes from afar and felt a sharp pain!

The four paragons were shocked and felt relieved at the same time.

Thankfully, the four of them did not participate in the fight between the two of them. Otherwise, who could defend against such an attack?

The light of the collision of the sword and shield engulfed the two of them instantly. In fact, the five of them did not even know who had the upper hand in this clash.

After a while, the light gradually dissipated and Su Zimo and Yun Ting reappeared.

The two of them were still standing where they were. The sword and shield had vanished and they did not seem to have moved at all.

Only those who were still alive in the hall knew how terrifying the fight between the two of them was!

“It should be a draw,”

Tang Ziyi heaved a sigh of relief.

Although she was facing four strong foes, she knew in her heart that the one opposite Su Zimo was even more terrifying!

Su Zimo frowned slightly.

The Human Slaying Sword Art was much stronger than he had imagined!

Even after being exhausted by Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts, the Human Slaying Sword Art could still tie with the Spirit Turtle Shield!

This meant that if he merely released the divine power of the Spirit Turtle Shield, he would not be able to defend against the sharpness of the Human Slaying Sword Art!

On the other side, although Yun Ting looked calm, his heart was in turmoil!

The Human Slaying Sword Art had returned fruitless and was blocked!

Up till this point of his cultivation, there had never been anyone of the same cultivation realm who could defend against the sharpness of the Human Slaying Sword Art.

The person before him was completely unharmed against the Human Slaying Sword Art!

“Indeed, you surprised me,”

Yun Ting composed himself swiftly and spoke slowly.

“However… ”

Pausing for a moment, Yun Ting changed the topic. “If that’s all you’ve got, you’ll definitely lose today.”

Confidence returned to Yun Ting’s eyes as he raised his head proudly.

He was not lying.

Even if he could not release the Human Slaying Sword Art again within a short period of time, he still had many powerful trump cards that he could rely on.

However, to Yun Ting, Su Zimo was at his wits’ end.

As the prince of an Immortal Kingdom, he had a noble status and unlimited resources—that was why he had so many powerful methods.

However, Su Zimo was someone who ascended from the lower worlds after all. Without the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts as well as the turtle shell divine power or strange movement technique, what else could this person have left?
