Chapter 1721 – Creating a Sword Realm

Many people had died.

Every body was mummified after their blood and flesh had been sucked away from them. The dried corpses revealed pain and horror.

One of the top ten sword sects in Swallow Mountain, the Frost Cold Sword Sect, had turned into a graveyard.

Han Zhengyang licked his lips and there seemed to be a sea of blood in his bloodshot eyes. He laughed hysterically, “I just finished eating them and you guys voluntarily offered yourselves to me by coming here. The swordsmen in this world are too kind.”

This was no simple demonization.

The people reached this conclusion firstly because the Frost Cold Sword Sect was like a living hell now. Secondly, Han Zhengyang’s aura was scary.

His bloodshot eyes scanned everyone and made the elites of the various sword sects nervous. They instantly started to believe Qin Yu’s words more.

“Let’s go. We will suppress Han Zhengyang first and then investigate the truth.” Xie Chungang said. He was the first to make a move.

He lifted his hand and slashed it down. Wind gathered between the mountains. It was soft and did not seem to have a destructive aura but it circled continuously.

Thin drops of rain came with the wind.

The expressions of the elites from other sword sects turned heavy. Spring wind that turned to rain without a sound was the highest form of cultivation for the Spring Wind Sword Sect.

Xie Chungang’s move appeared very ordinary, but he had already assimilated his Sword Dao realm.

No one dared to hold back.

The Sect Master of the East Mountain Sword Sect wore a heavy expression and the sword aura around him started to surge. Very soon, the gathered energy was as heavy as a great mountain range.

His sword energy was vast!

The rest of the Sect Masters and other elites of the sword sects made their move simultaneously.

At the mountain gate of the Frost Cold Sword Sect, sword aura had gathered into a sea. It comprised sword energies of different forms and it flooded each corner of the world.

Without any question, this was the strongest group of swordsmen in the world unleashing their best attacks. It was the brightest and most splendid offensive move.

Everyone within the Swallow Mountain region could feel the sudden outburst of terrifying sword energy no matter where they were. Numerous swordsmen’s eyes widened and they looked in the direction of the Frost Cold Sword Sect as a flood of thoughts washed up their chest.

What has happened?

This was the first time that Qin Yu saw the strength of the elite swordsmen of Swallow Mountain.

It was truly powerful.

This was especially so for Spring Wind Sect Master Xie Chungang. The spring wind turning to rain move was extremely graceful and it was comparable to Hu Fu and the Breaking Heavens Sword. It was even stronger by a bit.

If not for the Mountains and Rivers Sword in his hand, Qin Yu would not be able to defeat him with just his cultivation realm even if he called on the small world.

This was the might of a swordsman. A single sword strike carried so much destructive power that it did not give anyone a chance to use their advantages.

Despite that, Qin Yu did not think that things would go well. Firstly, it was because Rourou told him to come here and be the savior of Swallow Mountain. This showed her true intentions and Qin Yu trusted her judgement.

Secondly, Qin Yu felt himself shudder when he looked at Han Zhengyang now. He was a destructive abyss and his motivations came from his soul. It was something that he could not control.

Although he had not seen Han Zhengyang make a move yet, he would not be defeated just because he was outnumbered. This was especially true since the severed hand was with him. Furthermore, Qin Yu believed that the Han Zhengyang of now was as strong as a King realm cultivator.

“Not bad, not bad! The taste of your sword auras is delicious. Devouring you all will be a delicacy.”

His eyes grew more red and Han Zhengyang laughed wildly as he raised his hand. A blood-colored long sword appeared and it instantly stopped the spring winds between the heavens and earth. The falling raindrops turned red and then the thin rain turned blood red. It covered everyone within.

He had used his sword to create his own realm!

This was a dao path that swordsmen in the world had never touched before. It was a skill rumored to only be possessed by King realm cultivators.

In an instant, the various elites of Swallow Mountain were all suppressed!

Every drop of blood rain carried a violent sword energy that was filled with the desire to kill. As the rain touched their heads and faces, it threatened to break them apart.

Right before this, the elite swordsmen of Swallow Mountain had allied together to attack the evil demon. In the blink of an eye, blood rain covered the world and it suppressed the Holy Land of Sword Dao.

Xie Chungang’s expression turned drastically and he did not hesitate to shout, “Sect Master Qin, please help!”

Mei Shenglin was in complete agreement with what Xie Chungang said. Who could have imagined how strong Han Zhengyang was?

A King realm swordsman…this was the dream of every swordsman in Swallow Mountain!

There was also no need to mention how terrifying a King realm swordsman was. What they saw was the best explanation.

As for why Mei Shenglin felt that Qin Yu should help…

It was very simple: at the mountain gate of the Frost Cold Sword Sect, blood rain was drizzling down and it covered everything in the world.

However, it did not touch anywhere in a radius of three feet from Qin Yu. Not only that, the blood rain that had already landed on the ground flowed away from him; none of the rain droplets dared to go close to him.

Was there any other thing to say?

Gulp –

Mei Shenglin gulped down some saliva and he held a deep sense of respect as he looked at Qin Yu beside him. He suddenly realized that his Sect Master was a truly smart man. After he defended the Opening Heavens Sword Sect disciples earlier on, both sects had a close relationship now.

It was obvious that the Opening Heavens Sword Sect would become one of the most famous sects in Swallow Mouintain! One could even get rid of the ‘one of’.

“Sect Master…” Seeing how Qin Yu did not respond, Mei Shenglin started to speak. It was hard to say what would become of the other elite swordsmen if they continued to receive the brunt of the blood rain.

Gu White had a calm expression that looked as composed as the spring wind, “What are you anxious about? Since Sect Master Qin appeared here, he must have his own decisions.”

Qin Yu raised Gu White inwardly again. Sect Master Gu was truly someone who never forgot to stress how magnanimous he was. His perseverance was admirable.

Qin Yu smiled, “Sect Master Gu, I simply feel that I don’t have a reason to act. When the Opening Heavens Sword Sect was destroyed in the past, no one here helped us. Furthermore, the Opening Heavens Sword Sect has reopened, but we still have not regained the things we lost in the past.”

Wei Heng sucked in a deep breath of air, “Sect Master Qin, my South Sea Sword Sect has nothing to do with what happened in the past! I am incredibly grateful to you for saving Xu Jing and the rest in the Sword Prison. I will never forget your grace if you help us again!”

Qin Yu scoffed.

He did not answer, but his scoff expressed his attitude brilliantly.

Did Wei Heng truly think he was blind?

He had not even gotten back at the South Sea Sword Sect for trying to wipe their hands clean and push the blame onto the Opening Heavens Sword Sect. Did Wei Heng think that Qin Yu would not be able to see through his feeble attempt at trying to patch things up?

Wei Heng’s face flushed red and he gritted his teeth, “You can blame me for whatever happened in the past. Sect Master Qin, please be kind and gracious…”

Before he could finish, Qin Yu cut him off, “Sorry, I can’t do that.”

His eyes swept past the blood rain terrain and he stared at the elite swordsmen who were struggling to hang on. “Sect Master Gu, I suddenly had a weird thought. If everyone here dies, what will happen to Swallow Mountain?”

Gu White’s muscles stiffened slightly and he coughed, “Sect Master Qin, you really can joke around.”

Qin Yu calmly replied, “I am not really joking around.”

Xie Chungang sighed deeply and then said, “Sect Master Qin, I will apologize to you first for the incident at the Sword Prison. We were foolish and we misunderstood the Opening Heavens Sword Sect. Aside from this, the Frost Cold Sword Sect has been destroyed today and the Opening Heavens Sword Sect can directly take its position as one of the ten sword sects. I believe that those present here will not object.”

“Sect Master Xie is right, Primordial Sword Sect agrees!”

“Purple Illusion Sword Sect agrees too!”

“Empty Cave Sword Sect agrees too!”

“It is all our desires to have the Opening Heavens Sword Sect return to the Main Sword Masters.”

……

There were cries among the generation of swordsmen as they expressed their agreement. Qin Yu was not disappointed by them.

He cursed inwardly. These thick-skinned old foxes, they had completely changed their faces.

Hmph hmph, the opportunity today was rare to come by and another one would not come easily. Qin Yu was not going to let them off easily.

“Just this?”

Mei Shenglin’s facial muscles twitched uncontrollably when he heard Qin Yu’s words. His appetite sure was good.

Gu White’s heart was slightly at ease. It was good that he was willing to state his price and it was not unexpected that the lion’s mouth was big. It if was him, he would not let such a good opportunity pass by so easily either.

As a single person, Sect Master Qin had truly opened the waterways of Swallow Mountain with this move. He pressed all the Sword Masters until they had no choice but to bow their heads to him.

I, Gu White, do not know if I will ever get a chance to be that great in this lifetime.

At this moment, Sect Master Gu made a decision that he was going ot become good friends with Qin Yu. He was going to become a close, true friend to Qin Yu.

Keep your good friends close to you.

As long as he was with Qin Yu, would he have to worry about letting his sleeves catch the wind in the future? That’s right. From today onwards, I will become Sect Master Qin’s best friend!

With this thought, Gu White coughed lightly, “Fellow Sect Masters, the Opening Heavens Sword Sect had a lot of assets in Swallow Mountain back then…”

Xie Chungang did not hesitate, “Everything will be returned!”

Gu White continued, “But returning the base amount alone does not feel very sincere.”

Xie Chungang nodded, “Sect Master Gu is right. Spring Wind Sword Sect will also give additional gifts as thanks for Sect Master Qin’s help.”

Gu White nodded, “But what about recent treasures? Returning the chicken only after using it to lay eggs is not good.”

The corners of Xie Chungang’s lips twitched and he stared straight at Sect Master Gu, “Sect Master Gu truly values his friends. Spring Wind Sword Sect will give all the treasures we gained in recent years.”

Gu White nodded. He was composed, “Sect Master Qin, I believe Sect Master Xie is quite sincere.”

Qin Yu did not understand what Gu White ate. Was he not afraid of repercussions after this? He was so confident in Qin Yu!

However, this was a good outcome. If he was to become the savior, he needed to have some face. He would grab firmly with both hands.

“Mm, Sect Master Xie is sincere and I am satisfied. As for the others…”

Wei Heng yelled in a loud voice, “I would like to add thirty percent on top of Sect Master Xie’s gifts to seek forgiveness from you as well!”

Who would dare to talk back right now? Compared to treasures, their lives were more important.

Qin Yu was truly satisfied now.

As for whether these people would regret things after this…hehe, he was actually not afraid of Han Zhengyang’s strength after he got possession of Feifei’s severed hand.

As long as Xie Chungang and the rest were not dumb, they could only grit their teeth and acknowledge that this was the best decision they could have made. Otherwise, Qin Yu would not mind taking action and creating another empty spot among the Main Sword Masters.

Mm…Gu White was not bad. Qin Yu could give him the other seat.

“Sect Master Gu, you guys wait here and don’t move.” With this, Qin Yu lifted his arm. A sword started to form from his fingertip. He drew a circle on the ground and stepped into the blood rain.

Gu White stared at the circle on the ground and he felt really thankful for the decision he made today. Sect Master Qin truly had some secrets and he needed to learn from him.

The blood rain turned into a typhoon and it instantly covered Qin Yu’s body. No one could see where he went.

Han Zhengyang was furious and the anger in his bloodshot eyes complemented his current emotions. Qin Yu instantly felt goosebumps all over him.

He gritted his teeth, “Sister Feifei…mm, Rourou wants you to stop here. After all, the swordsmen in Swallow Mountain will still be useful in the future. You should stop here.”

“Qin Yu, I suddenly realized how evil you are today!” Han Zhengyang’s voice turned girly, “I already made my move. How can I return empty-handed now? No, I have to eat one. This is my minimum!”

Qin Yu frowned, “Sister Feifei, you really can’t. You heard what I promised them and I can’t go back or I will appear untrustworthy. How about this? I promise you that I will make it up to you two times in the future.”

“Man’s words are all lies! What is the future you speak of? I can’t see it! Today, don’t think that you can go so freely. I want to eat a swordsman; choose one for me now. Don’t be a bully or you will not have it easy if I am really angry!”

Han Zhengyang was fuming now.

Qin Yu gritted his teeth and he was just about to say something when Rourou’s voice suddenly rang out, “White Feifei’s sword would not return empty-handed. This is truly her condition.”

Han Zhengyang laughed coquetishly, “Sister is right. Young lad, aren’t you going to do it now?”

Qin Yu rubbed his face, “Alright!”

The blood rain started to lighten and the suppressive aura around the crowd disappeared. Then, Qin Yu appeared in front of the crowd.

At this point, Han Zhengyang was gone.

Over? It was over?

If the terrifying sword aura that lingered in the air had simply disappeared, people would truly started to suspect that everything had just been an illusion.

Xie Chungang cupped his hands together, “Sect Master Qin, thank you for your help!”

Qin Yu raised his hand, “Hold on, don’t be in a rush to thank me. There have been some changes.” His eyes swept past the crowd and he calmly said, “Han Zhengyang has turned evil and his soul has disappeared. However, the sealed item that he released is not willing to disperse that easily. After discussing with it, the sealed item has raised one condition.

“To make it leave Swallow Mountain alone, we need to give one person as a sacrifice to the sealed item.”

The elite swordsmen of Swallow Mountain immediately had their faces turn ashen. A sacrifice. They stared at grounds of the Frost Cold Sword Sect and they knew what this meant.

Xie Chungang’s brows knitted together, “Sect Master Qin…”

Qin Yu cut him off, “There is no room for discussion on this. I have only suppressed the sealed item temporarily. Please make your decision quickly.”

“Ridiculous!” Pavilion Mountain Sect Master’s face turned stiff, “Everyone, do you really believe such a ridiculous thing? I am starting to suspect that there isn’t a sealed item at all and everything is a part of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s scheme. The circumstances of the Frost Cold Sword Sect now is also because of them!”
