Are you the one that learned the Pig Slaying Sword Art?
said Xuwu Piaoyan whose figure was formed with flames.
The current him wasn’t faintly visible like during the first rank. Instead, he was filled with prestige, tyranny, and it was as though he was about to explode.
Yes, I am.
Yang Dingtian said,
Let me introduce myself again. I am Yang Dingtian. Senior Xuwu, have you found the Naga Race?
No.
Xuwu Piaoyan said,
I had been going further west until I then reached the Far West’s Infernal Sea. Under the sea were the ruins left behind by the Naga Race. They already predicted that the world was going to be extinguished and had all left.
Infernal Sea?
Yang Dingtian was astonished.
Two centuries ago when the Shrine of Extermination’s master unified the Evil Dao, the evil army marched out from the Infernal Sea and traveled from west to east, unfolding the battle to extinguish the world.
This Infernal Sea was actually the place of residence of the ancient Naga Race.
Senior Xuwu, did the Naga Race left no traces at all?
Yang Dingtian asked.
No. When I was there, it had already been abandoned for many years.
Xuwu Piaoyan said,
The Naga Race are the descendants of the Divine Dragon which had already abandoned the human race.
Yang Dingtian noticed that the current Xuwu Piaoyan felt that salvation was hopeless because of the disappearance of the Naga Race. His heart was filled with dull and violent qi presence.
Then what are you preparing to do next?
Yang Dingtian asked despite the fact that it had been more than ten thousand years since Xuwu Piaoyan had reached the Infernal Sea.
I’ll continue to go west, further more to the west, deeper in the west… go to the Extinct Deep Abyss. I will continue on the path of salvation, but I’m not expecting anything.
Xuwu Piaoyan said,
Alright, enough of nonsense. Time for sword practice.
For the first stage, be it the Void Nine Calamity Sword or the Pig Slaying Sword Art, these were all taking technique as the priority. As for the second stage, the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword, don’t focus on the technique any more, rather it is to refine the senses, the qi, and the quality!
Get ready. First sword, Inferno Sky Sword, chase after your limits!
Finishing his statement, Xuwu Piaoyan’s figure abruptly scattered and turned into limitless flames between heaven and earth.
The heaven had red flames, which burned the bones and the meridians.
The earth had blue flames, which burned the mystics and the divinity.
Yang Dingtian was vigorously thrown into midair.
The flames from heaven and earth constantly came closer.
Yang Dingtian clenched his sword tightly and tried to sense the Inferno Sky Sword.
Huff…
There was a flame that caught ablaze in his hand suddenly.
Yang Dingtian who was still within the flames picked up his stance to practice the sword.
Again and again, his sword grew faster and faster, his qi presence grew more shocking.
At this moment, the flames from the heavens began to descend, while the flames from the earth began to ascend.
The temperature grew hotter by the moment.
The dreadful raging flames began to burn his clothes, his hair, his body, and his sword.
Yang Dingtian desperately endured it and practiced this first sword move in a frenzy.
However, his body grew hotter and hotter.
The clothes on Yang Dingtian’s body began to turn into dust, which was shortly followed by his hair. Then his body started to boil and the sword in his hand grew bright red before turning into molten iron.
Yang Dingtian felt that his body was melting inch by inch and his blood was starting to grow volatile while his bones were gradually turning into dust.
Boom!
Finally, Yang Dingtian’s entire body was incinerated and turned into ashes.
Yang Dingtian was only left as a ball of light, this was his spirit soul that was still frenziedly making a connection with the first move, the Inferno Sky Sword in the flames.
Finally, as the flames from heaven and earth were just 3,000 feet away from Yang Dingtian, his spirit which was still burning inch by inch had now completely turned into ashes.
The first move, Inferno Sky Sword… Practice ended.
It was unknown how long Yang Dingtian was in silence, his spirit soul started to slowly restore.
The second move of the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword: Earth Seal Sword!
Yang Dingtian’s body felt as though it was in a glacier which was ten thousand miles wide. The surface of the ground was like limitless ice while the sky was blowing with a violent snowstorm.
At this moment, Xuwu Piaoyan didn’t appear. In the second rank, his heart was filled with dull grey and there was no interaction nor any narration.
The temperature was getting lower by the second.
In this world of ice and sword, Yang Dingtian was practicing the second sword move, Earth Seal Sword!
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, while the temperature was getting lower and lower!
Dreadful energy froze and sealed everything.
Bang!
Yang Dingtian’s clothes froze and shattered.
Bang!
Yang Dingtian’s sword froze and shattered.
Bang! Bang! Bang…
Yang Dingtian’s blood, bones, and flesh all became frozen solid.
Finally, the snow in the sky also completely froze and was unable to drop down anymore.
The temperature continued to decline drastically, it was as though heat never existed, it was as if the universe was absolute zero.
Bang!
Yang Dingtian’s mystic qi and spirit soul had completely frozen before finally shattering.
Despite the fact that the temperature continued to decline, to Yang Dingtian, he had already completed the sword practice in this ice sealed world.
After being in silence for an unknown period of time, Yang Dingtian regained consciousness again.
Right now, he was at the peak of a mountain, where there was a forceful wind.
Yang Dingtian entered the third move, Formless Sword!
On the summit of this mountain, Yang Dingtian practiced the third sword move.
His speed got faster as he practiced while the wind in this world grew stronger in response to his growth. Furthermore, every direction of the wind was going against Yang Dingtian’s sword trajectory, it forcefully decreased Yang Dingtian sword, until it finally came to a standstill.
Yang Dingtian exerted all his strength in a frenzy, but the intensive winds were only getting increasingly violent and stronger.
Yang Dingtian still continued to practice the third sword move, Formless Sword and desperately tried to resist the intense wind.
His clothes were shredded, his entire body’s skin was bloodied. Afterward, his body was blown up into the sky.
Yang Dingtian was still practicing the third move in a frenzy, However, his speed was getting slower until his final actions finally came to a standstill. His moves started to move in the opposite trajectory of the sword practice, all of his moves were blown in the opposite direction.
But soon enough, everything stopped. This was because the winds had shredded all of Yang Dingtian’s flesh until only the skeleton frame was left. His entire body had been scattered by the wind.
Finally, even his spirit soul had been scattered and blown away.
At this moment, the giant monoliths were cracked open by the strong winds, and the entire mountain peak began to collapse.
But Yang Dingtian was no longer able to see the rest of the scenery because he was turned to dust once again.
…
Fourth move, Unyielding Sword!
This time, Yang Dingtian had entered a world of metal, a world of gravity.
Yang Dingtian’s body solidified inch by inch into metal while gravity only increased and it got heavier.
As he was brandishing the sword, Yang Dingtian’s body slowly completely solidified as every inch of his body turned into indestructible metal.
Afterward, gravity silently grew from a few folds, then to tens of folds, then to hundreds of folds. It was still slowly getting heavier.
Finally, when gravity was at 500 folds, Yang Dingtian’s body finally crumbled and turned into a pastry-like substance.
When gravity was at 800 folds, Yang Dingtian had been crushed into smithereens.
When gravity was at 1,000 folds, Yang Dingtian spirit soul had been engulfed in the world.
…
Fifth move, Prison Break Sword!
This time, his body was in mid-air. Below him was a river, while above him were dark clouds.
The dark clouds were only getting darker as it thickened and descended lower.
Lightning struck at the world and at Yang Dingtian who was practicing his sword in mid-air.
Bang!
A bolt of thick lightning abruptly struck at a middle-aged man.
Bang!
A bolt of lightning struck and broke a tower.
Bang!
A bolt of lightning which was hundreds of miles long and hundreds of feet wide suddenly struck and broke a stone mountain before finally striking at Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian had been completely annihilated.
Fifth move, Prison Break Sword. Practice ended!
The second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art had a total of five moves, Inferno Sky Sword, Earth Seal Sword, Formless Sword, Unyielding Sword, and Prison Break Sword!
As the names suggested, the first move restrained fire, the second move restrained ice, the third move restrained wind, the fourth move restrained metal, and the fifth move restrained lightning!
This wasn’t only so; The first move prioritized on powerful energy attacks, the second move focused on extensive and unending stream of strikes, the third move emphasized on speed and the agility of the wind, the fourth move concentrated on defense and breaking defenses, and finally, the fifth move fixated on the unknown.
In short, there was never a manual like the Pig Slaying Sword Art which was too profound, mysterious, and had boundless power.
The first rank’s extremely profound moves had already shocked Yang Dingtian, whenever he used the Pig Slaying Sword Art, he would be able to defeat opponents who were two or three classes stronger than him.
However, the second rank’s Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword had completely stunned Yang Dingtian. A single sword art could actually negate the lethality from the five elements.
The five elements of heaven and earth mutually restrained each other.
For example, the metal element was restrained by the lightning element. Whenever a metal element expert encountered a lightning element opponent, even if his mystic qi class was four or five classes superior, he still wouldn’t be a match. The only way to defeat the opponent was that if he was one rank higher.
But the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art was actually able to deal with experts of all five elements. It was undoubtedly a cheat that was opened up for Yang Dingtian. In the future, no matter what kind of expert he met, he would be able to restrain them.
Furthermore, the Pig Slaying Sword Art had a very terrifying specialty which was to use the sword moves without any stances while being able to combine and link all the moves. Once he practiced to the highest level, any move could be used to restrain an expert of any element.
Of course, this great cheat was still not very beneficial for Yang Dingtian now, this was because the enemies that he would face were still in the Yin Yang Stage.
Before the Great Mystic Martial Master, all the martial artists were unable to learn mystic skills, hence, their mystic qi elements were only split into yin or yang. If it wasn’t ice, then it would be fire. Moreover, in the northwest continent, it was completely a world of fire.
When the Great Mystic Martial Masters started to learn mystic skills, they would be able to transmute the yin yang element into the five elements. By then, it wouldn’t only be ice and fire, there would be wind, metal, and even lightning element experts.
Compared to the first rank, the second rank’s Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword had a huge difference.
The first rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art had a total of nine moves. Yang Dingtian had practiced tens of thousands of times and had completely mastered it. He then collected the five element demonic cores to conduct the Yin Yang Five Element Array, afterward, Yang Dingtian’s mystic qi instantly broke through by 19 classes.
Afterward, the Pig Slaying Sword Art had completely ended its prowess in terms of mystic qi. Which meant to say that, by relying on the Pig Slaying Sword Art, it was hard to make any progress in mystic qi.
But for the second rank, the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword, every move was split into a few levels.
Like the first move, Inferno Sky Sword. The distance between the heaven flames and the earth flames were getting closer, but when it was 3,000 feet away from each other, Yang Dingtian had already turned into ashes.
For the second move, when the temperature was still declining, and the snowstorm was frozen, Yang Dingtian had already shattered.
During the third move, when the mountains were crumbling from the strong winds, Yang Dingtian had already been turned into fine dust.
At the fourth move, when gravity reached a thousand folds, Yang Dingtian had already been crushed into smithereens.
As for the fifth move, Yang Dingtian was annihilated when the extremely thick lightning struck at him.
Without a doubt, these five different states were all at the first level. Then there must be a second, third, fourth, and perhaps a fifth level!
Right now, he felt suspense. Since the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword was already at the first level, how much mystic qi breakthrough would it provide him?
For any other manuals, when learning the first rank, there would be a breakthrough for the mystic qi. However, for the second rank, the breakthrough would only be minuscule, it would usually wouldn’t even be half a class.
But what about this profound and mysterious Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword? Would it be an exception?
…
For the entire night, Yang Dingtian had been shut in the room, the door was never opened. Various strange glows appeared from inside which looked gorgeous and mysterious.
However, no one saw this scene. Mu Liancheng had given the orders that no one was to go near the courtyard that Yang Dingtian was in.
On the next day, the sun had risen.
All of the members of the Mu Clan Docks had gathered around the martial contest stage. In the middle were two chairs, this was where Li Guinong and Mu Liancheng were seated. The athletically sexy Mu Lianyi was standing behind Mu Liancheng, while the silent and muscular Ximen Bao stood behind Li Guinong.
The housekeeper walked up onto the stage and yelled out,
We shall begin the last day of the martial contest for marriage. The final victor will become the husband of the Mu Clan’s Young Lady, Mu Lianyi. As of yesterday, the final victor was Hero Yan Nantian. Is there anyone who is willing to take up the challenge?
There was complete silence under the stage!
This martial contest was meant to target Tuoba Ye, if he didn’t appear, then no one else was going to enter the stage.
Light the incense!
The housekeeper gave the orders.
A giant incense was then placed on a small table and slowly began to burn.
This incense was two meters long and could burn for four hours. When the time was at mid-day, it would be the official conclusion of the martial contest for marriage.
After seeing the lit-up incense, everyone held their breaths as they waited for Tuoba Ye to arrive.
One minute…
Five minutes…
Ten minutes…
Thirty minutes…
One hour…
Tuoba Ye still didn’t appear yet.
Mu Liancheng exchanged looks with Li Guinong, both of them thinking why hasn’t arrived yet.
Of course, they definitely didn’t wish for Tuoba Ye to come. If this was the case, then it would be the best-case scenario. However, they knew that Tuoba Ye was definitely going to come as he wasn’t going to give up on the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and Mu Lianyi who was a fresh and hot beauty.
Tuoba Ye was a completely perverted devil and would die just to have a bite at such a beauty like Mu Lianyi.
Two hours…
Three hours…
Tuoba Ye still had yet to arrive!
The entire contest stage found it hard to continue keeping silent as they started their discussions. They were saying that the Raging Flames Castle was afraid of Li Guinong, hence they didn’t dare to appear.
However, Mu Liancheng’s expression only grew with unease.
Mu Lianyi also had a tensed up expression as she repeatedly glanced towards the gates. Of course, she wasn’t waiting for Tuoba Ye. She was waiting for Wu Xingwen instead. He promised her that he would definitely appear five years later to marry her and today was the last day.
During these five years, Mu Lianyi had been yearning for him every day. She was able to support herself because of this five-year promise. If Wu Xingwen didn’t appear, then she would truly fall into despair that was even worse than marrying a beast like Tuoba Ye.
There was still an hour left, right now the sun was blazing hot.
Hahahaha!
Suddenly, there was loud laughter that came from the sky. No one knew where it came from, it felt as though it came from every direction.
Is everyone urging and waiting for me to appear? Is the beauty having such a mournful look because she is waiting for me to do her? My bad. My bad. I spent a little longer to dress myself up. Today is the first time meeting my father-in-law and I have to do it a bit more properly.
This was Tuoba Ye’s voice, it carried a bewitching tone.
Bang!
A snow-white figure burst out from a lake not far from here. He was dressed in white clothes which were even whiter than snow, it didn’t have a speck of dust on it.
Afterward, the figure drifted over a few hundred meters before finally landing on the contest stage, it was as though he didn’t have any weight.
Tuoba Ye had appeared!
He was very handsome, however, he made people shiver at the mere sight of him.
His brows and lashes were drawn and there was this obvious dust of powder on his cheeks. He even had bright red rouge applied on his thin lips. His earlobes had earrings hanging on it.
When they saw Tuoba Ye’s face, everyone instantly recalled the rumors about him.
Every part of this person was oozing with evil qi presence. Moreover, he was extremely fond of killing. All of the women who fell into his hands would seek survival, but wouldn’t be able to obtain it no matter how hard they tried. It didn’t matter how beautiful a woman was, they would die before a full month.
Hence, within these thousand miles area, no one was comparable to him in terms of notoriety and viciousness.
