Limitless Sword God

Sudden Change

With his breakthrough in cultivation, Su Yun went back to the house to rest happily.

Not long after entering the Ultimate Martial World, his cultivation continuously grew and went through breakthroughs, the speed of cultivation could be considered miraculous.

In the next few days, Su Yun stayed in the forbidden grounds to cultivate. The array formation’s amplification was extremely powerful, the explosive increase in cultivation could intoxicate anybody, to the point of forgetting themselves.

During this period of time, Huai Rou Mu Yu never came over, it was said that she had been wandering around Sky Central City visiting all the different shops. Su Yun guessed that the reason for doing so was to expand the trade routes for the Huai Rou Family.

A few days later.

With the support of the mystical formation behind the sculpture, Su Yun felt that the Spirit Qi in his body was stirring restlessly again, a vague indication that he was going to breakthrough once more.

With the increase in cultivation, his Spirit Qi had become denser. Seeing that it was just right, Ling Qing Yu flew out from the Sword Sheath, planning to teach Su Yun the third set of sword formation.

Outside the formation grounds.

“The Cold Hail Sword Formation is a mid grade sword formation, its strongest point being its defense, to attack after defending, taking the opportunity when the enemy is striking to counter attack. What I am going to impart to you now is called the Seven Ascension Slaughter Formation, a high grade sword formation. This formation imitates the seven stars in the Big Dipper, Alkaid, Mizar, Alioth, Megrez, Phecda, Merak and Dubhe, each star after the next becomes more difficult, and this formation only uses seven swords, no more, no less.”

“The Seven Ascension Slaughter Formation was created by my ancestor, its might is extremely formidable, its uniqueness is due to its weirdness and terror. When the seven swords are in position, the sword tips would cry wildly, the cries of the swords would release a strange rhythm, all of them would fly together and dance.”

“The faster the swords cry, the stronger its killing intent. The area that the target has when surrounded by the seven swords would continue to shrink, increasing the pressure on the target. It’s like a secure net, continuously tightening; The target would be like the fish in the net and can only wait helplessly for death.”

“The most fundamental requirement for activating the Seven Ascension Slaughter Formation is its consumption towards Spirit Qi, if you have insufficient Spirit Qi, the sword formation would be weak without any application, but with sufficient Spirit Qi, it can slaughter an army of thousands and will be invincible.”

As Ling Qing Yu explained all these, she obtained seven wooden sticks and started to showcase it to Su Yun.

The seven wooden sticks danced in the sky like seven rays of shooting stars, causing Su Yun to become dazzled. The chaotic Sword Qi looked to be extremely messy, but in truth, there was a hidden connection between the seven. Suddenly, the seven wood sticks surrounded Su Yun, the Sword Qi between them turned sluggish and when he looked again, the Sword Qi seemed to have sealed the area around Su Yun completely, not allowing anything to pass.

“Spectacular!”

Su Yun could not help but praise the formation.

“Watch carefully.” Just then, Ling Qing Yu said.

Su Yun focused, he looked all around him, to see that the seven wooden sticks that surrounded him were trembling at an extremely high frequency, causing a buzzing sound, when one of the wooden stick flew towards him.

Although it was just a wooden stick, the Spirit Qi accompanying it was extremely surprising, what’s more, Ling Qing Yu’s current cultivation was not what it was in the past, but the power that she brought forth seemed to exceed the sixth stage of the Spirit Star Realm! That was the power and effort from the sword formation!

Su Yun brandished the Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword and struck the wooden stick with the intent of breaking it.

But when the sword tip touched the wooden stick, a few layers of Sword Qi erupted out and transformed into a thousand rays of Sword Qi, ferociously flying towards him.

“What?”

Su Yun was shocked, he immediately activated the Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment to block.

Clang clang clang clang

The Sword Qi struck onto the Imperial Equipment’s Divine Spirit Qi, releasing a lot of clamor. Shattered Sword Qi covered the grounds, with the aftermath all over, the Sword Qi were in no way weaker than the Sword Qi storm released by the sculpture.

“That is just the power of ‘one’ sword, if the seven swords move together, its might is multiplied exponentially, your defensive treasure seems to be a powerful treasure, but if it were any other person, by relying on this sword formation, I can easily kill them.”

Ling Qing Yu removed the sword formation then said: “Now, it is your turn to try it.”

Su Yun nodded, he retrieved seven sub swords from the Sword Sheath and started practising the Seven Ascension Slaughter Formation.

Two months past by quickly.

The courtyard was quiet, with Xiao Cui leaning on a railing and resting.

Just then, light footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Xiao Cui was surprised, she immediately jumped to look, only to see Huai Rou Mu Yu and the servant Xiao Hong heading towards the courtyard.

“Not good!”

Xiao Cui’s entire body trembled, she then ran over the Huai Rou Mu Yu and purposely shouted out loud: “Ser-servant greets Miss Huai Rou!”

“Xiao Cui, why are you being so loud?” Xiao Hong rubbed her ears and said angrily.

“T-that” Xiao Cui did not know how to explain it, and stammered for a long time.

“Xiao Cui, is your young master at home?”

Huai Rou Mu Yu asked indifferently.

“Young master he, young master, I I” Xiao Cui’s tongue was tied, she started panicking, she did not know if Su Yun went to the forbidden grounds, if he did not, Huai Rou Mu Yu would be able to sense that there was someone in the house, but if he went and she said that he did not, it would be suspicious.

“Xiao Cui, what’s wrong with you today?” Xiao Hong extended her neck out and asked Xiao Cui with a look of suspicion on her face.

“Nothing’s wrong.” Xiao Cui laughed awkwardly, her back was covered in perspiration.

The situation was strange, Xiao Cui’s heart was thumping hard, she did not know how to handle the situation.

Just then, a voice came out from inside the house: “Xiao Cui, invite Miss Huai Rou in.”

It was Su Yun’s voice!

His voice was her lifesaver, allowing Xiao Cui to exhale in relief, she revealed a smile and spoke to Huai Rou Mu Yu: “Miss Huai Rou, please.”

“Yes!”

Huai Rou Mu Yu gently nodded her head, she pulled her long dress and headed towards the house.

Xiao Hong looked at Xiao Cui suspiciously.

Inside the house, Su Yun was seated cross legged while meditating, when Huai Rou Mu Yu came in, he did not even look at her.

It was extremely quiet, one person stood there, the other sat down, the situation was extremely awkward and weird.

Huai Rou Mu Yu did not have the intention of initiating the conversation.

~Come to think of it, Huai Rou Mu Yu is the precious daughter of the Huai Rou Family, if I, Nan Gong Qing, don’t attend to her and continue training, it will really seem very rude.~

After a long while, Su Yun who had his eyes closed spoke up.

“Mu Yu, why did you come here?”

Huai Rou Mu Yu looked at Su Yun and opened her cherry lips: “Young Master Qing, Mu Yu has come here today, to ask you one question.”

“What is it?” Su Yun opened his eyes.

Huai Rou Mu Yu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then asked gently: “Do you not want to become my dual cultivation companion?”

Hearing that, Su Yun asked: “Why do you say that?”

“Young master Qing, although this is my first time coming to the Nan Gong Family, and is also my first time meeting you, I will tell you the truth, I have long since sent people to investigate you. I hope for your forgiveness, I, Huai Rou Mu Yu, does things with prior preparations and this is no exception. You are completely different from the Nan Gong Qing that I heard about, I heard that Nan Gong QIng is gentle and considerate and is someone who does things extremely carefully.”

“Although your cultivation is not considered robust and outstanding, it isn’t weak either, but the current you is completely different from the one that I heard about, let’s not talk about your low cultivation, you treat people indifferently, as though you do not care about anybody’s feelings at all. Not only that, you are purposely doing things to make me loathe you, or the things that you did initially that made me embarrassed, I did not understand why you did those things, but after thinking about it, I feel that you have one goal, that is you do not wish to marry me, is that right?”

Hearing that, Su Yun remained quiet: I never thought that this Huai Rou Mu Yu would be so sharp and attentive, to be able to see through all these.

“If I were to say, I truly do not wish to marry you, what would you do?” Su Yun probed her.

“I will immediately rescind the engagement.” Huai Rou Mu Yu said without any hesitation.

“If this engagement doesn’t go through, I am afraid I will become the offender of the Nan Gong Family.” Su Yun added.

“I will be the one to rescind the engagement, the Nan Gong Family will not trouble you, you don’t have to worry about that.” Huai Rou Mu Yu said gently, her expression was calm without any undulations.

“Is that so.”

Su Yun heaved a sigh of relief, the boulder in his heart had finally dropped.

~If that’s the case, then my mission is complete.~

Sssi ssssi

Just then, a strange fragrance suddenly emitted into the house, Su Yun’s mind twitched, he suddenly stood up and looked around cautiously.

“What’s wrong?” Huai Rou Mu Yu was startled, but in the next second, she also sensed the strange scent, she immediately stood up, she waved her empty hand, releasing a fine crystal sword lined with gems.

“Don’t breath, don’t activate your Qi, this scent will permeate into your body, and will go through the Spirit Qi you release straight into your spirit essence, and then numb your Spirit Essences.” Su Yun said.

Although it was his first time seeing this Spirit Qi, but he guessed the characteristics of the scent. Su Yun’s cultivation was not comparable to Huai Rou Mu Yu, but his knowledge on poison and medicine was something that Huai Rou Mu Yu would never catch up to.

Hearing that, Huai Rou Mu Yu immediately stopped her Spirit Essences, she went closer to the door, and called out: “Xiao Cui, Xiao Hong”

But there were no reply.

The two went out, to see Xiao Cui and Xiao Hong on the ground with their face pale, their status unknown.

Su Yun’s expression turned anxious, he immediately took his sword sheathe and hung it on is waist.

“Who is it?” Huai Rou Mu Yu immediately knew what was going on. She glanced around and shouted out loud.

“Good people!”

A voice came out.

At the entrance of the courtyard, a few men dressed in black armor came in smiling with fierce glares in their eyes, walking in one step at a time.

“Do you guys look like good people?” Su Yun asked as he stared at them.

“We don’t? Maybe you will know in awhile.”

The man in the lead stared at Huai Rou Mu Yu and said coldly: “Miss Huai Rou Mu Yu, come with us for a walk, if you are obedient, maybe you can avoid pain, if you resist, we will have to use force.”

“Who are you?” Huai Rou Mu Yu gripped her crystal sword tightly and asked.

“Won’t you know if you follow us?”

“Will I?”

Huai Rou Mu Yu retreated a few steps, her face becoming gloomy.

“What cultivation are they at?” Su Yun asked softly.

“They are all wearing treasures that conceals their strength, it is hard to see through them. For them to come like this, they have come prepared… But where are the Nan Gong Family’s people? And why are they be able to appear here?”

“If they are not here for support, means that the enemy came in a big group, the Nan Gong Family are unable to fight them. Regardless of what it is, we should run first!” Su Yun replied.

“Run? Run where?”

“Just follow me!”

Su Yun grabbed Huai Rou Mu Yu’s hands and run towards the back of the house.

“Where can you run to?” The man snorted, he waved his hands: “Kill Nan Gong Qing, and capture Huai Rou Mu Yu! Go!”

“Yes!”

The people behind answered, and ran into the house.

All of them moved extremely quickly, with an imposing aura released when they moved, they were outstanding, most likely people nearing the Spirit Master Cultivator realm.

The two of them followed the brick path and headed towards the forbidden grounds of the Nan Gong Family. The swamp appeared before Su Yun, he then took a deep breath and looked at the people behind, then said: “Don’t resist.”

“What?” Huai Rou Mu Yu was startled.

But before she could reply, he picked her up with both hands and rushed towards the sculpture.
