"Sweep the clouds with a sword!"
Li Bai set down his cup and smiled faintly.
As his words fell, the vast, boundless Yellow River surged with murderous intent. A sky-piercing sword intent arose, his eyes flickering with light, fixed directly on Marquis Zi Shan!
"Ching!"
"Clang!"
The three-foot green peak at his waist was instantly drawn from its sheath, a faint luminescence emanating, as if the peak itself had emerged from a wine spring.
With a swing of the sword, the entire sky was filled with blooming azure lotuses, resplendent and poetic.
The sword's intent preceded its arrival!
The sky instantly split, revealing cracks emanating faint green light. A thousand-zhang azure peak, condensed from azure elemental energy, erupted from the rift.
"Behold the saber!"
Marquis Zi Shan retracted the Human Emperor Hall Master's decree. Purple light flared on his right hand, and a bloody great ring saber appeared.
His eyes glowed with faint red light. All exposed skin was covered in bulging blue veins, a testament to his fury. He, one of the four great Marquises of the Blood Sun Dynasty, was not to be insulted: the Human Emperor Hall Master’s divine might was even less to be trifled with!
With a flick of his wrist, the long saber instantly flashed with ferocity, inch by inch as if burning with fierce flames, engulfing the saber: "Kill!"
Instantly, starlight obscured everything. The fierce might of a Marquis rolled forth. With a saber strike, an incredibly dazzling bloody light tore through the void, like a surging river of blood, opening its maw towards Li Bai's resplendent world of azure lotuses.
"Boom!"
Saber qi clashed with sword intent. One azure, one red, they completely divided the void into two worlds. Enormous shockwaves from the impact, within two distinct elemental energies, churned up waves thousands of feet high.
"Rumble!"
At the center of the clash between saber and sword qi, it was as if a void of nothingness. Surging elemental energies constantly gathered from their bodies towards the point of impact. In an instant, with a sound like a mountain collapsing, it exploded. The two worlds of the void abruptly shattered.
Li Bai held his sword, his gaze cold, his cheeks still slightly flushed. His white robes, amidst the surging aftershocks, emitted a faint white glow, shielding him from the onslaught.
"You have some skill. Willing to join my Blood Sun?" Marquis Zi Shan shrugged, his explosive muscles constantly alert to Li Bai's movements.
"Ching!"
Li Bai sneered, his killing intent suddenly intensifying by a third. He swung his sword, as if an immortal descended, the peak sword intent pointing diagonally at Marquis Zi Shan.
"Hmph, I held you in high regard. Since you're determined to fall and remain in this insignificant dynasty, then I shall fulfill your wish!"
"Die for me!"
The long saber dragged, its blade surging in the void, the torn void faintly trembling, the void erupting with sound!
"Sword, come!"
Li Bai, wielding his long sword, traced an arc in the void like celestial qi. Instantly, the thousands of miles of Yellow River behind him surged, and strands of sandy water burst forth. The moment they detached from the Yellow River, they instantly solidified into numerous precious swords.
A rain of swords filled the sky, obscuring the void!
"Flick of the sword!"
With a sword strike, ten thousand swords surged. Strands of sword qi, first chillingly azure, then a sandstorm that blotted out the sky!
The sword intent condensed the void, shaking the heavens and destroying the earth!!
His white robes swayed in the void. He raised a finger, cleaving through heaven and earth!
"Fight!"
Marquis Zi Shan, gazing at the sky full of sword intent, his fighting spirit intensely ignited. He roared, raising his saber above his head. A bloody river surged forth, with a low rumble like an army on the march, as if tens of thousands of elite soldiers were nurtured within the bloody river. Blood-red war chariots crossed the battlefield, and a Marquis's banner inscribed with the character "紫" (Zi) pressed down upon the void.
"Fight!" Marquis Zi Shan's aura instantly reached its peak. This saber strike condensed his life's entire mastery of the Way of the Saber. The void trembled violently, and the bloody void drifted.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
The bloody river continued its march like an army, with roars like those of tens of thousands of soldiers wielding sabers, echoing for dozens of miles around the city of Chang'an.
"Ah!" Marquis Zi Shan roared incessantly. He held the saber with both arms and swung it forward with immense force. Suddenly, the bloody river's iron hooves thundered, and bloody soldiers materialized one after another, coldly staring at Li Bai. Ten thousand men as one, they thrust their blades towards the void!
"Weng~~"
Layers of saber qi surged endlessly, like the roaring waves of a swift river!
This fierce momentum was enough to obliterate an entire city!
"Marquis Zi Shan, truly lives up to his name!" Yun Han, gazing dazedly at the scarlet void, couldn't help but murmur softly.
Marquis Zi Shan, among the Rong Tian realm cultivators of the Ten Great Dynasties, was ranked very high. He had forged a formidable reputation through countless holy wars organized by the Human Emperor Hall.
This saber qi, like a thousand-zhang tidal wave, shook the heavens!
"A majestic sword hidden in a jade sheath!"
Li Bai let out a long cry, his eyes like cold sword qi. The three-foot green peak was instantly sheathed at his waist.
At that moment, the myriad swords of sand in the sky erupted, as if streams of light were madly surging towards Li Bai's sword sheath.
"Weng~~"
As strands of sword qi continuously flowed in, Li Bai, one hand gripping the sword, the other resting on the sheath, his white robes slowly billowing, his killing intent growing ever more intense.
"Hoo... Hoo..."
"Weng~~"
The sword sheath began to tremble violently, causing Li Bai's arms to tremble slightly. Slowly, his breathing grew heavier.
"Boom~~"
The moment all the sandy swords surged in, Li Bai raised his head slightly, revealing a roguish smile. Whether it was the sword he drew or the sword qi reaching its saturation point, it erupted with a roar!
"Boom~~"
The long sword was drawn. The bloody river instantly churned with monstrous waves!
With one sword strike!
Enough to move mountains and overturn seas!
This sword gathered the peerless sword intent of the myriad miles of Yellow River! Sudan Novel Network.
Heaven, it breaks heaven!
Earth, it shatters earth!
As the long sword was drawn, cultivators within a hundred-mile radius of Chang'an instantly lost their sight, seeing only a vast expanse of white. But in their ears, there was only a deafening roar!
This sword was like the scorching sun hanging high in the ninth heaven, descending upon Chang'an!
"Crack crack!!"
Amidst the deafening explosion, as the boundless white sword intent vanished, onlookers saw only a bloody red hue, staining the sky!
"Marquis Zi Shan... Marquis Zi Shan!!" Yun Han, Ying Jia, Ying Zhong... and a host of other dynasty forces, their faces turned pale, their eyes desperately trying to peer into the sky, to see if Marquis Zi Shan had truly met his end.
Marquis Zi Shan, one of the four powerful subordinates of the Blood Sun Human Emperor, who had wreaked havoc in the southwestern regions for hundreds of years, had today fallen to a dynasty that had only recently entered the sight of the Ten Great Dynasties.
"Gulp!"
Everyone swallowed deeply. The entire square in front of the Xuanzheng Hall of the Royal Palace, with thousands of cultivators, dared not move. They stared blankly at the figure in white in the void.
"Sword!"
"This is the Great Dao of the Sword!"
Li Shang clenched his fist, his eyes fixated on Li Bai, who was drinking in the void. He couldn't help but murmur softly, "Sword Immortal!"
"Azure Lotus Sword Immortal!"
