Chapter 508: Avatar of Sword Qi

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Zhang Ruochen’s appearance created quite a stir in the Coliseum of the Martial Market.

After all, Zhang Ruochen was the 16th master on the Heaven Board and held the title of The Successor of Buddha. Instead of Huang Yanchen, people were now anticipating his fight with Huang Shenyi.

“Zhang Ruochen...unexpectedly, he really came back...”

Ao Xinyan looked at Huang Yanchen who was not far away, feeling complicated and worried.

Actually, Zhang Ruochen’s opponent, Huang Shenyi, ranked first on the Heaven Board .

Based on the strength that he had just displayed, Huang Shenyi seemed almost invincible, like an unbeatable warlord.

Moreover, according to legend, nobody had walked off the Coliseum alive after fighting Huang Shenyi except for Xun Long.

However, could Zhang Ruochen’s strength even be compared to Xun Long’s?

Ao Xinyan was very certain about Zhang Ruochen’s strength – although he was indeed very strong, he was still too young. At least for now, he was not comparable with superiors like Xun Long and Huang Shenyi.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen appear, Orange Star Emissary sneered and said, “Had Zhang Ruochen hidden and practiced for a few years, he might have caught up with Yellow God Emissary. I didn’t expect that he would be so stupid as to come back in advance. After today, there won’t be any more Buddha Emperor’s descendant.”

Having heard Zhang Ruochen’s words, Huang Yanchen was naturally very touched, however, what Orange Star Emissary said made sense: It was not the right time for Zhang Ruochen to come back.

If he died under Huang Shenyi’s sword because of her, she would never be able to forgive herself.

Huang Yanchen quickly walked down from the Spectator Stand and stopped Zhang Ruochen who was about to appear in the Coliseum. With her beautiful royal blue eyes staring into his, she shook her head.

Zhang Ruochen said with a smile, “Senior sister apprentice, it is just Huang Shenyi, there is nothing to worry about.”

“This trouble I caused, let me deal with it myself. As for cultivation, you’re...a little bit more profound than me. In the future, you can avenge me.”

There was a firm and resolute look in Huang Yanchen’s eyes.

As always, Huang Yanchen was very arrogant and unyielding, pressing forward with an indomitable will.

She felt that she alone should answer for what she did. She did not want to involve Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen reached out and grasped Huang Yanchen’s wrist, saying, “We have a long future ahead. If whenever there is trouble you always go and solve it yourself, then of what use am I? You are my fiancee. It is my duty to stand in front of you and protect you from the storm, right?”

Huang Yanchen’s white teeth tightly bit her lips as tears sparkled in her eyes before teardrops finally slipped down her face.

Duanmu Xingling heard Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen’s words from afar. Seeing their closeness, she felt somewhat envious and distressed.

Huang Shenyi was smiling smugly on top of the Heavenly Ring.

It didn’t matter how despicable his methods were, he had achieved his goal and forced Zhang Ruochen out.

He had previously been defeated by Di Yi when he ran for the position of young master of the Black Market Excellence Hall, however, he had not been convinced. He had always thought that he was more outstanding than Di Yi.

Di Yi only became the young master because he had a stronger family background. When it came to talent, he believed that he was superior to Di Yi.

Di Yi had not only been defeated by Zhang Ruochen, he had even lost the Demon’s Heart, bringing disgrace to the Black Market Excellence Hall.

By his estimation, if he could defeat Zhang Ruochen, or even kill him, then the high-level leaders of the Black Market Excellence Hall would certainly reconsider and he would be appointed as young master.

“Zhang Ruochen, today is the day of your death!”

After he obtained Xuanwu heritage, the first person Huang Shenyi had wanted to deal with was Di Yi. However, since Zhang Ruochen had appeared, then he would kill Zhang Ruochen first. With such an achievement, would anyone refuse to obey his orders when he returned to the Black Market Excellence Hall?

Huang Yanchen retreated. Zhang Ruochen ascended the Heavenly Ring with firm and steady steps until he stood in front of Huang Shenyi.

With one hand holding a sword and the other behind his back, Huang Shenyi spoke, “Zhang Ruochen, you’re too impulsive. You will ruin your future for a woman. With your talent, you had great potential to become a saint as long as you did not encounter me. Why do you have to do such a stupid thing?”

Zhang Ruochen said with a smile, “You have been waiting for me. How could I disappoint you?”

Coldness entered Huang Shenyi’s eyes as he said, “Do you still think you can leave the Coliseum alive today? Don’t you think I can chop your head off before you can even give in?”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Give in? Why should I give in?”

Huang Shenyi had thought that Zhang Ruochen would immediately give in or flee after stepping onto the Coliseum. This way, he could have saved his life even if he lost face.

However, he never thought that Zhang Ruochen would be so arrogant as to really want to fight with him. “Haha! Zhang Ruochen, do you think that by defeating Di Yi you are now invincible amid your contemporaries? I have the inheritance of the ancient Mythical Beast Xuanwu. If you fight with me, you’d be like an egg trying to crush a stone.”

“It’s just Xuanwu heritage, not the real Mythical Beast Xuanwu itself. Even the strongest person in the world may eventually taste defeat, not to mention...you are not.” Zhang Ruochen said indifferently.

“Humph! Against you, I am more than enough.”

Huang Shenyi wanted to stop this meaningless debate with Zhang Ruochen. In his eyes, the moment that Zhang Ruochen stepped onto the Heavenly Ring he was already a dead man.

“Zhang Ruochen, your sword technique cultivation is not that good, right? Then I’ll defeat you with my sword technique. Let me show you who the real master is.”

“Clash!”

Huang Shenyi moved his finger and the Holy Sword in his hand turned into a black light, flying out toward Zhang Rouchen’s heart.

Zhang Ruochen felt a little surprised with Huang Shenyi’s Sword Defending Technique. He did not expect that Huang Shenyi’s sword technique was so profound that he had realized Heart Integrated into Sword.

However, Huang Shenyi was only at the Initial Stage, but Zhang Ruochen was already at the Intermediate Stage.

Zhang Ruochen combined two fingers to form a sword skill and pointed forward. With a clash, the Abyss Ancient Sword flew out of the sheath – it was also a Sword Defending Technique move.

“Clang! Clang!”

The two Holy Swords quickly clashed over the Coliseum.

Sword Qi flew out of the blade, turning into thousands of sword shadows, passing around the two people, colliding and attacking each other.

Zhang Ruochen stood still like a God of Swordsmanship. With the Heart of the Sword he controlled Sword Qi, turning it into a deluge of Sword Qi, initiating an active attack against Huang Shenyi.

That blast of Sword Qi was formed from the convergence of hundreds of sword shadows, threatening to devour Huang Shenyi.

“His sword technique is surprisingly powerful!”

Realizing that Zhang Ruochen’s sword technique realm was above his, Huang Shenyi knew that he could not defeat Zhang Ruochen with only the power of sword technique.

“Break!”

He suddenly took a step forward, grasped the hilt, mobilized Genuine Qi throughout his entire body, and swung the sword toward the deluge of Sword Qi that was moving past.

With a boom, the torrent of Sword Qi dissipated with just one stroke of Huang Shenyi’s sword.

“Clang!”

However, the Abyss Ancient Sword flew out from behind the flow of sword Qi and struck towards Huang Shenyi’s glabella.

Huang Shenyi’s reaction was extremely fast. He immediately swung his sword and hit the body of the Abyss Ancient Sword, deflecting the sword technique.

“Swoosh!”

The Abyss Ancient Sword spun in the air, curving, and then moving behind Huang Shenyi before it stabbed toward his back.

In a flash, the sword had penetrated Huang Shenyi’s Celestial Bodyshield.

Quickly turning around, Huang Shenyi held his sword with both hands and once again was on the defensive.

With straight arms, he continuously injected Genuine Qi into the sword blade, stimulating the power of the Holy Sword before stabbing out.

The edges of the two swords collided with each other.

Tremendous power passed from Huang Shenyi’s arms to his legs and then to the ground.

Under the impact of that power, a loud crash shook the whole Heavenly Ring. Without the protection of the Inscription of Array, the Coliseum would have probably been torn apart.

Just as Huang Shenyi thought that he had warded off the Abyss Ancient Sword, from both sides of its blade flew out two Sword Qi illusory images, aiming at Huang Shenyi’s eyes.

“How is it possible?”

Huang Shenyi’s face changed. At the critical moment, all power in his body was mobilized. A whirlwind surged up from his feet and he quickly withdrew his sword and retreated.

Although the two currents of Sword Qi did not hit his eyes, one of them had flown by his temple, cutting the skin and leaving a half-inch-long wound.

Huang Shenyi retreated to the edge of the Heavenly Ring before stopping. He stared at Zhang Ruochen across him with amazement, “Avatar of Sword Qi – you’ve reached the Intermediate Stage of Heart Integrated into Sword?”

“Swoosh!”

The two Avatars of Sword Qi flew back and reunited with the Abyss Ancient Sword.

Zhang Ruochen reached his hand out and grasped the hilt of the Abyss Ancient Sword. He sighed lightly, “Such a pity, so close.”

That blow just now, it was indeed such a pity.

Had Huang Shenyi’s reaction been slightly slower, the two Avatars of Sword Qi could have penetrated his head.

The most important sign of the initial stage of Heart Integrated into Sword was to condense the Heart of the Sword and display the Sword Defending Technique.

A flying sword could kill people tens of miles away.

The most important sign of the Intermediate Stage was to display the Avatar of Sword Qi.

When the cultivation of a warrior reaches a certain level, he would be able to condense the avatar, which could help him carry out tasks.

So with the sword.

Upon reaching the Intermediate Stage of the Heart Integrated into Sword, warriors could make the sword condense into the Avatar of Sword Qi.

The Avatar of Sword Qi was condensed from 99 currents of sword Qi. Although its bursts of power were not as good as that of the sword itself, it was surprisingly effective, making it difficult to guard against.

“Boom!”

The battle in the Heavenly Ring caused an uproar in the audience.

The warriors who were present were all shocked, jaws dropping. They never thought that Zhang Ruochen was so powerful.
