“You really have no balls. You really made me mad this time!”

After those words were said, green veins popped out from the corners of the black shirt man’s forehead. The killing intent in his eyes nearly turned into something physical. But when he wanted to attack and kill Zong Shou on the spot, his face turned solemn. The disdain in his eyes slowly dissipated.

He couldn’t wave out the two-finger sword in his hand!

Wei Xu’s expression also similarly changed. The energy which had already surged to his fingertip retracted. He exclaimed and looked into the air once more.

He saw that a few sharp energies along with a bloody mist spit out from around Zong Shou. He used his ability to force out the cruel demon sunflower sword intent which went deep into his body!

The threads of true Qi and soul power he specially released out was sucked back in. The amount of soul power he borrowed was even more than before.

What made Wei Xu surprised was that Zong Shou’s body, which was already close to collapsing, had for some reason recovered a lot.

“Lighting Phoenix essence? Interesting…”

Shaking his head, Wei Xu laughed involuntarily. Zong Shou’s current aura was also obviously much stronger than before.

However, the gap between that grandmaster expert was still so large that it was unable to be made up. However, now it could be said that he barely understood Zong Shou’s rough maximum.

…as expected he is a top talent, a person with exquisite sword path!

Following which he saw the sword in Zong Shou’s hand raised once more as he pointed forwards. The corner of his lips gave an evil smile.

The sword in his hand was still burning intensely like a flame, a golden light flashing, lightning snakes dancing, but a moment later there was something different.

A vast and dense intent pressed down suddenly like a giant mountain, descending on his mountain peak, at this hundred thousand feet area.

“…eh? This is a mountain and river sword intent!”

Wei Xu’s hair and mustache instantly shook, pretty much standing on its ends. The crown on his head tilted, and he rushed to prevent it from falling.

Comprehending sword intent wasn’t that impressive. Grasping many types of sword intent made him think that Zong Shou was intelligent, a step faster than other people.

However, merging 2 different sword intents into one body was amazing.

It was far from as simple as comprehending a few sword intents.

And Zong Shou seemed to have merged 3 types of sword intents into one?

Even if he knew that Zong Shou’s cultivation technique was pointing at the root of the sword path, the source of the path of heaven. When one cultivated it to the maximum, one could display all sword intents.

However, at this moment he still found it difficult to accept!

Such a talent was something far undescribable by just sword path being one with the spirit or being extraordinary!

Maybe as compared to people who merged spirit and martial arts he was still lacking a lot, but he was a top talent in the cloud world…

Those people in front of the Tiegang Hall all finally felt that something wasn’t right. They felt like this sudden pressure was about to crush Xuan Mountain.

The entire Tiegang Hall gave out cracking reading sounds. If it wasn’t for Xuanyuan Tong protecting it, the hall would have broke. But even then, there were still some people who couldn’t take it, blood flowing from their noses. The ones that couldn’t handle it hid into the hall to avoid the surge.

Zhu Junhou and Luo Xian had their mouths were agape as they looked at the near berserk Zong Shou.

They thought back to the last time he drank, remembering that he merged the spirit and martial arts. This time he merged numerous sword intents into one?

…Great Sun sword intent, Mountain and river Sword intent, no! There seemed to be also the maniac lightning sword intent. There were 3 types!

How did this young city lord manage to do it?

Was it because he got drunk? But once they were drunk they will go crazy. Although Zong Shou’s current situation was not much different.

When that sword intent pressed down, even the black shirt old man’s face turned cold and solemn. He held up his two-finger sword, the 2 black swords circling non stop around his body.

Then one saw a huge sword light spit out from Zong Shou’s lightning winged sword tip, directly extending 6 thousand feet. He didn’t use any misdirection nor any techniques, just directly cutting down, like he was slicing the sky open as he slashed down on the black shirt old man’s head!

Then the sword energy crisscrossed. The sword image that was like light and lightning chopped down one sword after another, like a huge storm continuing endlessly.

The entire space instantly started to shake. The sword energy that dissipated about was several times more intense than before.

Wei Xu sighed silently. His heart was filled with some pity. Zong Shou’s strength was indeed more than 10% stronger than before. However, this sword technique appeared to be more unrefined and not as exquisite as before.

He probably really got drunk and lost all his consciousness, only knowing how to act on instinct. No matter how talented one was in sword techniques after the brain messed everything up, one would be unable to use anything.

If he knew that, he shouldn’t have let Zong Shou drink the wine. If not, this battle would be a lot more dazzling!

He felt that under this continuous attacks of this sword energy, the grandmaster would be fine but this mountain might collapse. Wei Xu injected true qi down blow, instantly causing Xuan Mountain, which got loose from all the shaking, to silently and without any sign, turn back solid.

Xuanyuan Tong who was frowning and toughly holding on looked at Wei Xu weirdly. His heart was shocked and also slightly at ease. This person called Zong Shou his junior Brother was expectedly not an ordinary person!

To instantly stabilize a Mountain was even tougher than destroying it. One’s strength had to be strong.

He linked it back to his close proximity observation that Zong Shou seemed to be borrowing external strength. That person’s realm should be far beyond his imagination.

With him here, they were perfectly fine today!

However, what he cared about more and was more worried about was still Zong Shou. Similarly, he felt regret. He should have realized that the martial art and spirit merger last time was just a coincidence. What made him think that if he got drunk he would definitely achieve that once more?

Exchanging tens of swords in the air, the black shirt old man gave a teasing smile, “Made you angry? So what can you do? With so little skill what can you do to me? Unfortunately, you were born 10 years too late. If you were older, I might have lost to you. If you are not drunk I might have some problems against you. The death of a my few useless disciples isn’t a big problem, but since Kui Qi died in your hands, today I will definitely tear your body into shreds!”

The sword sweeping out as he dissipated the sky full of sword light. Zong Shou still didn’t relent, one vast sword glow chopping down.

The black shirt old man scoffed coldly, a cold glow appearing at the sword tip. His eyes also locking onto Zong Shou’s throat.

When that sword glow he originally didn’t care about was right in front of his eyes, it suddenly crazily expanded. In that instant, it covered his entire field of sight.

Without any sign, that sword light charged up 9 thousand feet. Not only did the speed increase, but the destructive power within also increased by several times!

The old man couldn’t bother to target Zong Shou’s throat anymore, rushing to lift the two-finger sword in front of his body.

“Keng! Hong!”

The metal clang of metal on metal along with the sound of thunder. The peak of Xuan Mountain seemed to be having a tornado and a storm, energy crazily surging.

That huge Tiegang Hall was flattened! The sharp ringing caused everyone below ascended realm to bleed from their ears.

When the dust settled, one could see that the black shirt old man was smashed into the ground by that sword.

Even with Wei Xu solidifying the area, he made a ten thousand foot wide hole.

That old man was in a tough spot. In the air, one could hear Zong Shou’s unclear laughter.

“You are crazy! Cutting off your balls in exchange for this much skill? Let’s see if I won’t smash you to death!”

As expected another sword slashed down like sunlight was seeping in from a dense cloud layer. Gold sword energy wrapped by lightning suddenly broke open the layer of dust. The glow wasn’t apparent but it was heavy like a hammer, once again “smashing” towards that hole.

“Keng!”

That black shirt old man wasn’t able to fly up. He had no choice but to block with the sword once more.

That unstoppable giant strength caused his body to be viciously smacked deeper into the hole.

The old man only felt lost. He didn’t expect Zong Shou’s strength to suddenly have such an explosive increase. And it had increased by several folds?

Was he hiding his strength? Impossible! Then he must have eaten some pill. If there was such a pill that could cause strength to increase by several times then he wanted one too.

In the next moment, he felt that Zong Shou’s situation wasn’t right. His true qi and soul power hand miraculously coordinated as one, like they had merged into one.

In the next moment, Zong Shou smashed with a 3rd! A 4th! A 5th! A 6th! No tricks, no skill just sword after sword smashing over…

One sword was faster than the last, and one heavier than the last. He couldn’t react! It was so heavy that he wasn’t a match for it!

The whole that the black shirt old man was in continued to expand. Over and over he was smashed deep into the ground. In his mind, that soul power, that true qi has merged into one! That old man’s heart felt cold, sinking into the valley.

…this was the spirit and martial arts merging into one!

Above the ruins of the Tiegang Hall, those tens of grade 6 Xuanwu experts all had their mouths open.

They were all looking at Zong Shou wave that 9 thousand feet great sun maniacal lighting sword energy, overbearingly smashing the body of the black shirt old man deeper into the hole!

As for Xuanyuan Tong, although he needed to use all his strength to protect the people behind him, he laughed out loud in joy, filled with pride.

Martial arts and spirit merging into one! Martial arts and spirit merging into one! He finally saw it. As expected, after getting drunk, it, Zong Shou finally did it!

Filled with pride, his chin was held high, proudly looking at everyone.

The one who was using this sword to force even grandmaster experts to be in a tough spot was his son in law!

Zhu Junhou And Luo Xian both smiled. Although last time they 2 had personally witnessed it, seeing other people being beaten up and being the ones getting hit themselves were 2 different feelings.

As for that Wei Xu, his eyes were opened wide. He stood stunned on the ground, the wine bottle in his hand slipped out. Before it even fell to the ground the astral wind smashed it into pieces…
