Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 461: Chapter 460: 72 Sects, 24 Sword Qi

Inside the Divine Hall, wind, thunder, and Earth Fire swirled, pouring down on Brother-in-law like a torrent from a burst dam.

Even for a Martial Arts Giant like Brother-in-law, the sight sent a chill down his spine.

"Damned brat!" In his shock and fury, he only had time for a single roar before he was completely submerged by the boundless wind, thunder, and Earth Fire.

RUMBLE!

Streaks of gray thunder roared and struck down repeatedly. It was the Chaos Sky-breaking Divine Thunder, powerful enough to injure a Martial Arts Giant.

Crimson flames transformed into several enormous Winged Fire Divine Serpents that spat intensely venomous fire at Brother-in-law.

Several Wind Attribute Prohibitions materialized in the Void, forming cyan tornadoes powerful enough to easily shred the body of an expert in the Martial Arts Sea Realm.

Most terrifying of all were the Eighteenth-Layer Wood Attribute Heavenly Gang Prohibitions: the Wood Element Divinity Transformation Prohibition, the Wood Element Grand Luo Divine Needle Prohibition, and the Wood Element Cyan Forest Prohibition.

The slightest touch of the hazy, verdant Yimu’s Power of God Transformation would flay skin from flesh, and even the soul would be corroded by it.

The Wood Element Grand Luo Divine Needle was the most insidious. It formed countless Cyan Divine Needles in the Void, each as fine as an ox hair. Once struck, all the acupoints in the victim’s body would be turned to wood by the Yimu Green Qi.

Then there was the Wood Element Cyan Forest Prohibition, which absorbed Primordial Qi from the Void to endlessly create countless cyan Divine Woods, each as thick as a bowl. Even a Martial Arts Giant would suffer broken bones if struck.

Numerous other powerful Prohibitions surged forward all at once.

Watching the scene unfold, Qin Feng had to admit, ’Even if I were confident I could block that, I’d still be severely injured.’

RUMBLE!

Just then, a brilliant and incomparably sharp sword light erupted from within the torrent. It was pure white, like heavy winter snow, and its frigid aura filled the air. Even from hundreds of yards away, Qin Feng felt a chill seep into the depths of his soul.

With a single, deceptively light slash, the Chaos Sky-breaking Divine Thunder was frozen solid!

The Winged Fire Divine Serpents were sealed in ice!

The cyan tornadoes were frozen.

The dense forests, Divine Needles, and even the Divine Light formed by the Yimu Green Qi were all frozen solid by that single sword strike.

The sword flashed, its cold gleam and sharp aura seeming to pierce the Nine Heavens.

A figure appeared where he had been standing, completely unharmed. He softly chanted:

"Plums bloom to herald Spring’s first Start,

Rain Water falls as cloudy skies depart.

Insects Awaken, carps in rivers leap,

Spring Equinox, in flowers butterflies sleep.

Pure Brightness sees the kites fly on the breeze,

Grain Rain for silkworms, nestled among trees.

Summer’s Start, the last of peonies fade,

Grain Buds bring hostas to the courtly glade.

Grain in Ear, the fishermen sing their song,

Summer Solstice, tilling fields all day long.

Minor Heat, a thin white robe is worn,

Major Heat, by river’s breeze we’re borne.

Autumn’s Start, the sunflowers turn to light,

End of Heat, cicadas sing in the night.

White Dew descends on gardens, fresh and green,

Autumn Equinox, a moonlit, fragrant scene.

Cold Dew on hills, the wild geese take to flight,

Frost’s Descent, the reeds and rushes turn to white.

Winter’s Start, we drink in halls of great renown,

Minor Snow, in verse, our feelings are set down.

In a quiet home at Major Snow, the red furnace is warm;

Winter Solstice, music’s left behind.

At Minor Cold, we lie in dreams profound,

Major Cold arrives with snow all around!"

"Start of Spring, Insects Awaken, Pure Brightness, Start of Summer, Grain in Ear, Minor Heat, Start of Autumn, Bai Lu, Cold Dew, Start of Winter, Major Snow, and Minor Cold..." Qin Feng’s expression darkened as he stared at the sword light, which carried a unique rhythm.

"The Twenty-four Solar Terms... that sword strike was ’Major Snow’ from the Four Seasons Sword Intent! You’re from the Chixiao Sword Sect, one of the Seventy-two Sects!"

On the Spirit Sea Continent, there were numerous State Territories and countless sects of all sizes. Among them, the Seventy-two Sects possessed the most ancient lineages and the most formidable power.

The Star Sect was one of the Seventy-two Sects.

So was the Qiankun Sect.

The former Great Sun Divine Hall had also been a first-rate Major Sect, ranked seventieth among the Seventy-two Sects, but it was destroyed and subsequently replaced by the Beiling Sect.

The Chixiao Sword Sect was also one of the Seventy-two Sects, but it was no straggler like the Great Sun Divine Hall. It was a powerful sect ranked in the top thirty.

Among its True Inheritances was a Swordsmanship called the *Twenty-four Upper River Sword Technique*.

Brother-in-law’s expression was grim, killing intent surfacing in his eyes.

"Sharp eyes. Who in the world are you? Could you be one of the Star Sect’s hidden prodigies?"

’Qin Feng’s comprehension of the Dao of Arrays, especially his ability to control so many Prohibitions, is beyond anything I could have imagined.’

’The Star Sect has other hidden prodigies?’ Though secretly shocked, Qin Feng’s hands didn’t slow. Streams of True Power surged between his palms, forming one Seal Technique after another as the True Power transformed into countless ancient talismans.

A transparent sphere seemed to form between Qin Feng’s palms. It emitted a strange fluctuation that faintly controlled the many Prohibitions within the Divine Hall, creating a temporary control hub.

"I don’t care who you are. Now that you’ve made an enemy of me, you will not walk away from this. Even if your father is the Sect Leader of the Chixiao Sword Sect, you will die!"

The killing intent in his heart blazed more intensely than ever. Qin Feng’s sharp gaze swept out and landed on a pitch-black Prohibition several dozen yards away from Brother-in-law. It emanated a strange, dark aura that seemed to corrode the very Void.

It was the Heavenly Gang Twenty Layers: the Three Thousand Weak Water Prohibition.

Ruo Water. It was one of the world’s most peculiar types of Post-Innate True Water. Its power was boundless; once it began to spread, it could corrode and penetrate even a Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

With a single thought from Qin Feng, the Ruo Water stirred, and a black river snaked through the air.

RUMBLE!

The roaring Ruo Water thundered as it enveloped Brother-in-law.

"Ruo Water! To think this Divine Hall actually contains something so terrifying!" Brother-in-law’s expression changed drastically as his figure flickered away. He didn’t dare let the Ruo Water get near him. ’This stuff can corrode True Power, even entire Secret Realms! If I’m touched by it, my Martial Arts True Body will be instantly corroded away!’

"Four Seasons Reincarnation, Dew Becomes Frost!"

He slashed through the Void with the transparent, Ice Crystal-like Longsword in his hand. Countless water droplets spun around the blade, forming a transparent white sphere.

As the Ruo Water drew near, it was drawn to the rapidly spinning, pure-white sphere, flowing into it uncontrollably.

The sphere was like a miniature world of water, endlessly absorbing the roaring black river that surged from the Void. The pure-white orb rapidly turned black.

In just a moment, the great black river from the Three Thousand Weak Water Prohibition was completely absorbed. Brother-in-law spun his Longsword and unleashed a thunderous slash at Qin Feng.

Countless black droplets shot out like iron balls.

RUMBLE!

The Void whined and crackled as the black droplets tore through it.

Qin Feng felt as if a thousand sharp swords were tearing through the Void at him. ’If I don’t abandon this body,’ he thought, ’a single strike will be enough to riddle my Martial Arts True Body with holes, even after it was tempered by countless trials, Spirit Medicines, and my Spiritual Root.’

Yet Qin Feng’s expression remained unchanged. He only gave a slight, cold smile. As he watched, the countless black droplets had barely traveled a few feet before they were ensnared by the numerous Prohibitions filling the Void.

HISS!

The sound of Prohibitions being corroded filled the air.

’This strike is truly powerful.’ Within a fifty-step radius, the dense web of terrifying Prohibitions had been completely wiped out by that single attack.

Among them were many powerful Sixteenth and Seventeenth-Layer Heavenly Gang Prohibitions.

Brother-in-law’s power exceeded his imagination. ’An ordinary Martial Arts Giant would have been killed by that single strike.’

Despite shattering the Three Thousand Weak Water Prohibition with a single slash, Brother-in-law showed no hint of joy.

In the Void, a rumbling red cloud approached from the distance. Countless crimson flames burned within it, creating a terrifying spectacle.

In the blink of an eye, the red cloud was overhead.

’You damned little bastard! Pray that I don’t break free, or I’ll personally slice you into a thousand pieces!’ Seething with silent hatred, Brother-in-law shot a vicious glare at the black-robed youth two hundred paces away.

Seizing the opportunity, his figure shot forward fifty paces.

The distance between Brother-in-law and Qin Feng had now closed from the original two hundred paces to one hundred fifty.

One hundred and fifty paces. This was already an extremely dangerous distance!

Brother-in-law was confident that he could cross the remaining distance in a few breaths and capture Qin Feng in one fell swoop.
