Chapter 177 The Flying Fairy from Outer Space

Prince Renwu took a step back subconsciously, and his face looked stiffened.

“Silence the famous sword?”

He asked seriously while watching Dongcheng Rushi walking forward.

There were 12 Murderous Weapons in the Dark World, but there wasn’t a list for famous swords. Although there wasn’t a ranking for swords, Silence the sword was definitely one of the most famous swords in the Dark World.

Six superiors of the Invincible Realm had appeared one after another in Jade Pool in the recent five hundred years, all of which were ones of the most powerful grandmasters of swordsmanship in the Dark World. And among the six superiors of the Invincible Realm, three of them had used Silence the sword as their sabers.

The most recent superior of the Invincible Realm in Jade Pool died twenty years ago. Ever since his death, Silence had been really silent.

The Dark World was forgetful, but it also respected superiors.

In twenty years, an era had passed, and people might have forgotten about the name of that superior of the Invincible Realm. But as long as Jade Pool still existed in Zhongzhou State, Silence’s reputation wouldn’t be forgotten.

This was one of the three famous swords that had left in Jade Pool. Right now, it was actually in the hand of Dongcheng Rushi. How could people not question about this?

This wasn’t something that could be simply explained as Dongcheng Rushi in Jade Pool being underrated.

The famous sword that was related to Jade Pool’s fate was now held by a young disciple. It made people feel surprised, at the same time, it made people feel weirdly dangerous.

Dongcheng Rushi was still walking forward.

The creepy sword intent spread around everywhere continually basing her as the center, and the sound of the wind and rain in the mountain forest started to fade. There was only the sound of the sword intent breaking through the space whistling and undulating, echoing in the darkness.

She reached her hand to hold the sword.

At this moment, Dongcheng Rushi was pure and flawless, and her whole being radiated a sense of unity of heaven and earth. She was exquisite and holy, and there was unreachable dignity hidden in her.

Her aura was faint.

But it was also powerful enough to beat everything.

“Is she really at the peak of the Fire-flaming Realm?”

Li Baitian, who was carrying Ning Qiancheng on his back, was watching Dongcheng Rushi’s back carefully. Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Xu Chu, then asked with a stern face.

In his sight, Dongcheng Rushi seemed to be completely covered in the sword intent. Her fluttering long hair, her tall and fair figure seemed to disappear in the sword intent.

Or she and the Silence bled into one.

He couldn’t describe his feelings right now.

Dongcheng Rushi seemed to be the same Dongcheng Rushi. There was no high momentum or sharp intimidation, but Li Baitian could still feel there was something different about her right now.

But he couldn’t explain how exactly different. It didn’t make him feel dangerous. It was rather heavy, pressing deep on his heart, as if she had some kind of unbearable magic.

“She is.”

Xu Chu said in a low tone. The First Senior Brother who could face anything anytime with a calm and strong heart looked kind of gloomy right now. He seemed a bit helpless, a bit sad, but mostly determined.

“But that sword isn’t.”

“What?”

Li Baitian froze for a second.

“What is Rushi to you?”

Xu Chu took a look at Li Baitian, then suddenly asked.

“A genius.”

Li Baitian gave a simple but accurate comment. A nineteen-year-old superior at the peak of the Fire-flaming Realm was definitely worth the title of genius.

He stopped for a second and thought about Jade Pool, then added, “A genius of swordsmanship.”

Xu Chu looked at him deeply and suddenly said in a low tone, “You’re right. Rushi joined Jade Pool at the age of six and was in charge of the famous sword Silence at the age of eight. She is now nineteen years old. Did you know that she has never pulled out the sword for eleven years?”

Xu Chu took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone, “Not even for once!”

Li Baitian was astonished. The genius of swordsmanship from Jade Pool that everyone in Zhongzhou State was talking about had never used the sword since she started to learn Martial Arts?

This was quite a piece of information to take in. Even in a desperate situation, Li Baitian still found it hard to regain his composure.

“Was she building up strength and protecting the sword?”

Li Baitian asked. This theory sounded strange but was not entirely unheard of. The world of Martial Arts was an abstruse world full of secrets. In the past countless years, a great number of geniuses had created countless methods to get into the Invincible Realm. But she chose to protect the sword rather than use it. Li Baitian had never heard of this method, but it didn’t mean that it never existed.

“She was communicating and reconciling.”

Xu Chu corrected Li Baitian, then stayed quiet.

And there was something about it that even he didn’t understand.

Humans had sword intent.

Swords had Sword Energy.

While Jade Pool had swords.

For many years, Dongcheng Rushi had been cultivating herself quietly. She didn’t shut everyone down but she rarely communicated with other people. Xu Chu was the First Senior Brother, so he understood that his Junior Sister was communicating and reconciling.

But was she reconciling and communicating with the sword or the Sword Energy? Not even he could figure out.

But there was something that he didn’t tell Li Baitian.

In almost two hundred years, there were four people who got in charge of Silence the sword in total, and three of them were superiors of the Invincible Realm.

Now Dongcheng Rushi joined the party.

The four of them all practiced the same set of swordsmanship.

The sword and the unique technique had been passed down through all these years, and they had been inherited through generations!

“Can she resist Tian Yue and Bai Ye?”

Li Baitian took a deep breath, finally focusing entirely on the situation in front of him, then asked in a low tone.

“Yes, she can.”

Xu Chu gave a simple answer. “Because she has Silence.”

If Silence was in the hand of someone else, even someone else from Jade Pool, it would be nothing but just a sharp sword. But now it was in the hand of Dongcheng Rushi, it became the sword intent that could break through time and ages.

Dongcheng Rushi was now at the peak of the Fire-flaming Realm.

But Silence wasn’t.

“But she’ll die for it. The best outcome for her was surviving but losing all her foundation.”

Xu Chu continued.

Li Baitian stayed quiet. In Xu Chu’s tone, he could sense the impossibility of the best outcome.

He laughed. “Giving up on teammates and running away, that’s not my style.”

“Even if you would die because of it?”

“Even I would die because of it.”

He placed Ning Qiancheng, whom he was carrying on his back, on the ground and asked Ye Huayu to take care of him. There was full sincerity in his eyes when he was staring at Xu Chu.

Xu Chu’ stern and calm face seemed to soften a bit in the dark.

He nodded, then turned around and walked towards Dongcheng Rushi while mumbling. “Yes, even if I would die.”

Dongcheng Rushi was still marching on.

The creepy sword intent had completely twisted the air around her. In the darkness, her figure was partly hidden and partly visible, but her holy and pure aura was spreading farther and farther.

As if it was out of instinct.

Prince Renwu was stepping back.

Bai Ye was stepping back.

Tian Yue was also stepping back.

They didn’t even notice that they were stepping back.

The sword intent that covered the whole mountain forest didn’t feel dangerous or intimidating, but somehow it had the kind of irresistible momentum.

“You can’t get away.”

In the blurry sword intent, Dongcheng Rushi’s clear and sharp voice rang out. Her figure seemed to disappear completely, but everyone could imagine the way she talked in a serious tone.

“Get away?!”

Prince Renwu abruptly realized that he had been stepping back till now.

Not just him, everyone on his side was backing off. In God knew how long, while this woman was moving forward, they had backed off for at least fifty meters.

The prince’s soft and gentle expression suddenly turned cold, and the ferocious and cruel emotion flashed in his eyes for a second. Then he calmed down quickly. “I should be the one who says this.”

“There are so many of you.”

Dongcheng Rushi said softly. The sword intent in the mountain forest seemed to be getting sharp and edgy, but her voice still sounded crispy, with a little bit of misery. “But they are useless.”

Prince Renwu sneered. Three superiors of the Thunder-shocking Realm including a superior a half step to Invincible Realm and about a hundred elites were actually backing off for dozens of meters because of a young girl that hadn’t even reach twenty years old.

This was so humiliating.

The prince didn’t want to say anything anymore. He had to do something to prove himself.

He took a deep breath, took a big step forward and waved his hand abruptly, screaming. “Catch them.”

The East Island elites who had been ready to tighten the net already rushed in before the prince could finish his sentence. At least a hundred elites rushed in from different positions, and the ice walls rose up in the night rain one after another.

The killing intent was getting closer and closer.

The enemies were getting closer and closer.

“Why didn’t you leave with the rest?”

Dongcheng Rushi’s figure started to blur, but her clear voice still echoed in Xu Chu’s and Li Baitian’s ears.

“Why should I leave?”

Li Baitian was holding the Great Void Sword. The sword was vibrating and his laugh was getting unprecedentedly wild and bold.

“Let’s kill the enemies!”

His figure suddenly became illusory in his wild laugh.

The Great Void Sword was pointing directly at the night sky.

A tongue of dim and weak flame lit up at the tip of the sword.

At that moment, the flame started to shake violently.

Then it spread around rapidly.

The flame was still the flame, but layers and layers of burning air billows appeared in the sky out of nowhere. They weren’t anything substantial but they instantly evaporated the ice around them.

The burning yet illusory sword intent spread around wildly in the night rain. It felt void but it was actually everywhere.

A cloud of great and thick sword intent suddenly fell from the sky on the ground.

The endless flare instantly started to burn everywhere in sight.

Xu Chu had no expression on his face. His whole body rose up and directly rushed into the crowd like a fierce tiger.

The sword intent and the flare condensed together in the sky, flash after flash.

Like the rainstorm, like the thunder.

The sword intent broke the ice walls on the ground and smashed the East Island elites hidden behind the ice walls into the ground. That was the power with no limit, great and massive.

The unique technique from Jade Pool.

The Wind & Thunder Sword.

Killing the enemies!

They were already in the dead end. Now that they were not going to leave, what else could they do besides killing the enemies?

The outcome?

They all resented doing what they didn’t want to do, which meant they were all prepared for the worst outcome.

There was no meaning in everything now.

The only thing left to do was killing the enemies.

The flare rose up in the rain. The sword intent of Jade Pool and of Mount Shu mingled together and spread around, evaporating the moisture in the muddy forest immediately. The exploded ice, the bursting blood and the falling trees were all completely destroyed at the same time, leaving only scorched earth in the surrounding area within the distance of dozens of meters.

But Dongcheng Rushi stopped.

She didn’t look at Prince Renwu or the battle beside her. She just kept her head down, staring at the sword in her hand quietly.

The sword blade of Silence was simple, long and slim. The only thing stood out about it was that the sword hilt was different from the ordinary long swords. The sword hilt of Silence was more flat and slender, which made it look more elegant and smooth.

This was the saber that used to accompany three superiors of the Invincible Realm from Jade Pool.

This was the famous sword that represented the peak of swordsmanship in Jade Pool.

Dongcheng Rushi’s eyes were fixed and focused.

In her sight, the flare that constantly lit up everywhere was surging and twisting in the mountain forest. In the brightened light, the sword blade of Silence seemed to slightly shake for a bit.

“Crack…”

A small crack appeared on the sword sheath of Silence.

Dongcheng Rushi’s holy pretty face suddenly turned dreadfully pale.

“Bang!”

The explosive sound rang out among the sword intent that covered the whole mountain forest, and the raging sword intent rushed in like a flood with Silence the sword as the center. In the thunderous sound, Dongcheng Rushi let out an abrupt scream.

Her clear voice got twisted and spread around through the sword intent.

All the trees in the distance of a hundred meters all exploded in silence.

The shapeless sword intent swept off all the ice walls around. The ice walls burst and the ice pieces flew. The whole mountain forest felt like it was on the Doomsday. All the East Island elites disappeared, only the flesh and blood flying all over the sky.

“Let’s go! Kill her!”

Prince Renwu’s face changed rapidly. He felt like he was in a nightmare, and all he could feel was death and despair.

The prince’s wife.

The Border Praetorian Corps of Zhongzhou State.

The future overall situation for East Island.

Everything vanished from his mind.

Killing Dongcheng Rushi was the only way for them to survive.

Or destroying the sword was the only way for them to survive.

At this moment, Dongcheng Rushi’s figure had completely disappeared. The Sword Energy between heaven and earth gathered like crazy towards the blade of Silence, and the sword sheath of Silence had cracks all over. The simple long sword rotated rapidly in Dongcheng Rushi’s hand, radiating the light of insanity.

This sword… seemed to suddenly come alive.

The expressions of Tian Yue and Bai Ye also changed rapidly. The three of them didn’t hesitate but rushed straight towards Dongcheng Rushi while surrounded by the bright lightning.

Dongcheng Rushi’s eyes still looked quiet and serene.

Her face was as beautiful as jade, and her sword intent was as fierce as the rainbow.

She was well aware of the consequence and the power of this sword strike.

For so many years, the people who could hold Silence must learn the same unique technique.

The unique technique and the sword had been passed down through generations, and the sword intent was always there.

They blended in together.

To some extent, Dongcheng Rushi was walking on the road that her three seniors had walked on. The road became flat and smooth for her, straight to the destination.

That was why her realm could improve so fast. There was no bottleneck for her at all.

The sword intent the three seniors left on Silence the sword was what made up her Martial Arts. The sword intent could get her straight into the Invincible Realm.

This was her own secret.

For many years, her realm of Martial Arts kept improving as she learned about the sword intent of Silence. If nothing went wrong, when she completely understood the sword intent of Silence and the one unique skill of Jade Pool, she might be thirty years old, thirty-five maybe. And when she finally pulled out the sword, she would instantly get into the Invincible Realm.

But it was not enough now.

Far from enough.

But it was enough for a superior at the peak of Fire-flaming Realm to forcefully pull out the sword.

The Silence was her direct road to invincible Martial Arts. But in such a desperate situation, it became her trump card.

Killing the enemies, killing the family, and killing herself.

She didn’t care about whether it would kill the enemies or her own people.

Her heart and mind completely blended in with the sword, in order to ignite the sword intent in the sword that belonged to the three seniors.

She didn’t do it for improving her Martial Arts, but for killing the enemies.

This was the most tragic way.

It was essentially using the Silence as a bridge and borrowing the strength of the three seniors of the Invincible Realm forcefully.

To some extent, this move was like the Samsara in the 24 Moves of Sword from the Li family, but it was more aggressive.

Once she used this move.

She and the sword would both perish.

But it could make the ultimate invincible strike.

No one could survive under this strike, not Tian Yue, not Bai Ye, Xu Chu, Li Baitian, even Dongcheng Rushi herself, none of them could survive.

I was in a desperate situation, and so were the enemies.

The cracks kept getting bigger in the raging sword intent.

Dongcheng Rushi, whose face was dreadfully pale, held the sword hilt with all her strength, then pulled out the sword.

“Stop!”

An extremely furious scream suddenly rang out from the sky far away. It was in Chinese.

Did the reinforcements of Zhongzhou State finally arrive?

But everything was too late…

There was no time.

The sword sheath started to fall off.

Dongcheng Rushi’s body had lost all control. She put forth her strength in her hand, harder and harder.

The blade got out a little from the sheath.

It suddenly became extremely quiet in the air.

The flare, the lightning, and the ice pieces all disappeared instantly.

Only a beam of blurry cyan light that had been locked in the sword for so many years burst out at the tip of the sword.

That was the extremely powerful sword intent, the purest cyan sword light.

The sword light burst out and shone on everywhere, lighting up the sky immediately, as if the whole world was blooming crazily.

The unique technique of Jade Pool.

The Invincible Myriad Sword!

This was also one of the sword momentums that Dongcheng Rushi majored in.

The Invincible of the Myriad, and the Invincible of the whole world.

Dongcheng Rushi pressed her lips together nervously.

In the illusory image she saw before she died, there was a human figure.

In a trance, Dongcheng Rushi saw a pair of eyes.

The look in the eyes felt complicated, soft and yet familiar.

“Crack!”

The Silence that came out a little bit of the sheath was forcefully pressed back into the sword sheath. The sword intent of the Invincible Realm experts was unwilling to stop, and it kept bursting out wildly. But the hand that was pressing the sword hilt was irresistible, bit by bit, it pressed the blade back into the sheath.

Dongcheng Rushi’s body was completely out of control. She felt like someone just held her hand, then her whole body rose up in the air without her control.

The invincible sword intent dissipated entirely, then it turned into another sword.

In the crispy sound of the sword, Dongcheng Rushi held the Silence tightly, but she felt like someone just pulled out the long sword from the sheath for her.

The blurry cyan light disappeared completely.

Dongcheng Rushi rose up above the sky.

Under the spacious night sky, the rain was still falling, but the bright moon rose up.

That was the image that people would remember for the rest of their lives, deep in their hearts.

In the rain, the shiny sword light rose and flew, clear and holy like the moon.

Dongcheng Rushi’s long hair was waving in the air. She unfolded her body freely in the sky, and the moon-like sword light went straight down.

She and the sword, the sword and her, merged into one in the light. It was such a beautiful view to look at!

At this moment, the whole world seemed to fall on its knees for Dongcheng Rushi.

She was the flying fairy from outer space!
