Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 392: Chapter 388: Demon Slaying Sword, One Sword from the East

Qing Province, Celestial Sword Grand Canyon.

Ever since word of what happened to Xie Liuyun spread, this place had become the most popular location in Qing Province, with countless Martial Artists gathering here every day.

Some came to pay their respects to Xie Liuyun, while others came to comprehend the Sword Intent here.

But aside from these Martial Artists, numerous other figures stood guard in all directions around the Celestial Sword Grand Canyon, like sentinels.

Whenever the crowd’s gaze swept over these figures, a flicker of awe would invariably appear in their eyes.

For these people were all disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect.

’I wonder what kind of Array these Myriad Swords Sect disciples are setting up?’

The people wondered amongst themselves.

The ones presiding over this Array were the three Vice Sect Leaders of the Myriad Swords Sect: Yue Wenfu, Lin Zhan, and Fang Xue.

"The Devouring Array the Sect Leader had us set up was completed days ago. What we need to do now is guard it strictly and prevent anyone from sabotaging it."

Yue Wenfu said slowly, holding a blueprint in his hand.

After returning from Liang Province, he had followed Ning Jiang’s instructions, mobilizing thousands upon thousands of Myriad Swords Sect disciples to set up the Array here.

The method for setting up the Array was on that blueprint. According to Ning Jiang, this Array was called the Devouring Array.

Ning Jiang had already finished setting up the core of the Devouring Array inside the grand canyon long ago. What they were doing now was expanding this Array a hundredfold.

"A full 10,800 Array Banners, covering a radius of a hundred li... The Array the Sect Leader had us create this time likely possesses world-shaking power."

Fang Xue had a mature air and a charming, sweet voice.

She thought of the several Arrays Ning Jiang had set up in the past, like the Myriad Swords Return to the Sect, the Three Flowers Dao, and the Heaven and Earth Wind and Cloud Array. None of them could even begin to compare to the current one.

After all, this Array had required the mobilization of the entire Myriad Swords Sect’s manpower and resources.

"I wonder how the Sect Leader is doing at the Extreme Heaven Sect. Do you think he’s in any danger?" Lin Zhan asked, a little worried.

Ning Jiang was the heart and soul of the Myriad Swords Sect, its main pillar. They could not afford to lose him.

"Don’t worry. The Sect Leader is like a god, unfathomably profound. Even if the Extreme Heaven Sect is a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den, nothing will happen to him. Besides, the Sect Leader said this Array here is his trump card against the Extreme Heaven Sect!"

Yue Wenfu said calmly. After everything that had happened, his faith in Ning Jiang had long since become unshakable.

Just as they were speaking, a sudden cry of alarm came from the distance.

"What’s going on?"

Inside the Celestial Sword Grand Canyon, the countless Martial Artists comprehending the Sword Intent cried out in surprise.

"Why is the Sword Intent boiling?"

"Something big is about to happen! We have to get back!"

Not daring to linger, the people quickly retreated from the grand canyon.

Not long after they retreated, the Sword Intent within the canyon erupted like a tsunami, suddenly surging by more than a hundredfold as the very earth began to shake and tremble.

"Hiss! My god, what’s happening to the Celestial Sword Grand Canyon?"

"Could there be some peerless treasure of heaven and earth buried in this canyon? Is it about to emerge?"

Everyone began to speculate. Some said it was a peerless treasure, others a calamitous artifact, and still others claimed it was some terrifying existence that had been suppressed by a Seal.

Amidst the rising and falling cries of shock—

SHREEEAK!

The next moment, a magnificent surge of Sword Qi, so sharp it defied description, shot into the sky.

Everyone’s gaze turned to one of utter shock.

The beam of Sword Qi was colossal, a hundred zhang in diameter, connecting heaven and earth. From a distance, it looked like a celestial pillar holding the sky and ground apart.

"Look, a sword!"

The crowd stared without blinking.

Within the Heaven-Reaching Sword Qi, an Ancient Sword slowly rose. It was three chi and nine cun long, and its entire body was an azure-green color. The moment this sword appeared in their line of sight, everyone felt an overwhelming pressure blanketing them.

It was a pressure that inspired heartfelt reverence from the depths of one’s soul.

This was the might of a King!

Countless Martial Artists in the vicinity found they couldn’t control their own bodies. Their knees went weak, and they dropped to the ground.

At that moment, no one dared to show the slightest disrespect.

Every single person present had the distinct feeling that if they harbored even a hint of disrespect, they would be instantly torn apart by the invisible Sword Qi, leaving not even a complete corpse behind.

"Such might cannot be blasphemed... There’s no mistaking it. This is absolutely the legendary might of a King!"

Some of the more experienced, older Martial Artists were utterly shaken to their core.

"What on earth is happening? Why has this King’s Sword appeared?"

Just as the people were reeling in shock and confusion, a voice echoed from within the heaven-reaching sword light.

"Sword, come!"

As the voice rang out, a fleeting image of a figure in white robes with white hair flashed by!

"It’s him! Ning Jiang, the Master of Myriad Swords Sect!"

"I understand now! The Array set up here must be related to him. This sword is probably his handiwork as well."

The crowd’s shock was beyond words.

Within the grand canyon, an aged, illusory figure silently watched the Ancient Sword as it ascended.

"After several hundred years, you finally have a chance to reappear in the world. Go, let the world witness your final glory. My dear friend, Demon Slaying Sword... I am happy for you."

Xie Liuyun let out a great laugh, his eyes filled with joy.

The Demon Slaying Sword. This was the Treasure Sword he regarded as his dearest friend.

CLANG!

As if in response to Xie Liuyun’s words, the azure-green Demon Slaying Sword let out a cry that resounded between heaven and earth.

The next moment, it transformed into a heaven-reaching beam of light and vanished in a flash.

It streaked across the sky faster than a meteor, covering a thousand li in an instant. Across the lands of Qing Province, countless Martial Artists witnessed this magnificent beam of sword light that seemed to tear the very world apart.

It was a sight they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

A breath later, it flew out of Qing Province and arrived in the neighboring Lei Province.

"What is that?"

As the beam of sword light streaked across the skies of Lei Province, all who saw it were left in utter shock!

Within Lei Province’s three great Upper Grade Sects, the Earth Martial Realm experts lowered their heads, their eyes filled with deep respect.

Only those at their Realm could understand what the might emanating from this sword symbolized.

’The sword came from Qing Province... Could it be related to the Myriad Swords Sect?’

In the third breath after this speculation arose in their minds, the beam of sword light had already flown out of Lei Province and officially entered the lands of Liang Province!

「Within the Extreme Heaven Sect.」

Extreme Heaven Monarch’s great hand descended in a grasping motion. With this one move, it seemed as if heaven and earth themselves were drawn into his palm, with nowhere to run.

"’Sword, come?’ What is he shouting?"

"Is a sword actually going to come flying over? How ridiculous."

Countless Martial Artists shook their heads. In their eyes, the outcome was already decided. There was absolutely no escape for Ning Jiang.

However, in the third breath after Ning Jiang’s voice fell—

SHREEEAK!

A piercing beam of Sword Qi descended with a roar from the eastern sky.

"What is that?"

All eyes turned, and what they saw left them completely dumbfounded.

It was a massive, incomparably brilliant beam of sword light, even more radiant than the blazing sun in the sky.

A sword, arriving from the east!

The entire crowd was struck into stunned silence!
