Chapter 1167: Nether Yin Dynasty

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Gu Jian’s hairs stood on end, and his hands and feet went cold as he sensed this unimaginable danger. He tried to use his sword qi vortex to defend, but the boundless sword qi was instantly dispersed by that trace of blood-red sword qi.

As that blood-red sword qi shot into Gu Jian’s body, his body trembled and blood flowed out of his seven orifices. He fell from the air to the ground. No one knew if he was dead or alive.

Before anyone could work out what had happened, the battle had concluded, leaving everyone incredibly confused.

They had just seen a trace of sword qi shoot out of Zhao Fu’s eyes, after which everything had concluded. Just what sort of attack was that? Gu Jian had fallen without being able to resist at all.

However, things were not so simple. After falling to the ground, Gu Jian’s aura was incredibly weak as if he could die at any moment. The Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master hurried down and checked over Gu Jian’s injuries before saying with an ugly expression, “Sword Intent Corrosion!”

The Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master pointed at Gu Jian’s forehead, sending white motes of sword light into Gu Jian’s body. Gu Jian’s wounds gradually stabilized, and the Sect Master let out a sigh of relief.

He then turned to Zhao Fu and said angrily, “This Emperor, don’t you think you went too far? You used such domineering sword intent to corrode Gu Jian; you know that would destroy Gu Jian’s sword intent and cause him to become a cripple or even die!”

Zhao Fu did not know how to reply. Facing that immense sword qi, the Killing Sword Intent had instinctively reacted. This Killing Sword Intent not only went out of control when facing massive sword intent and killing intent. It had almost gone out of control when he had faced Leng Shang, but he had suppressed it.

Because of the waves caused by the Emperor Killing Sword World, Zhao Fu naturally could not explain this.

Seeing that Zhao Fu was not saying anything, the Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master took this as Zhao Fu backing down and did not pursue the matter. Even though he had some suspicions about Zhao Fu’s identity, he had that terrifying Sovereign bloodline, and if he were to fight him, he would definitely be injured.

The Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master picked up Gu Jian and flew back to the viewing platform to start giving Gu Jian treatment.

Only then did everyone realize what had happened; Gu Jian had been corroded by Zhao Fu’s sword intent, but Gu Jian was the number one genius in the Path of the Sword in the Ancient Stem Domain. The sword intent that he had comprehended was an extremely terrifying sword intent.

However, he had been corroded by Zhao Fu’s sword intent; what did that mean? It meant that Zhao Fu controlled an even more powerful sword intent. Didn’t this mean that Zhao Fu was also a Sword Cultivator? After all, no ordinary person could have such monstrous sword intent.

They did not know that Zhao Fu actually was not a Sword Cultivator; it was just that the Killing Sword Intent had fused into his bloodline.

Zhao Fu immediately became unfathomable again, and everyone wondered if this Emperor still had not revealed his true strength. He had been hiding his strength much too well.

Moreover, that sword intent was enough to make such a powerful sword genius like Gu Jian completely defenseless; how could ordinary people win?

Was this the Emperor’s true strength? He was strong enough to make people feel terror, and everyone acknowledged that they had underestimated this Emperor.

Yin Ruoshi looked slightly shocked; when that trace of sword qi had shot out, her body had immediately frozen and she had felt a wave of terror. As expected of an Emperor; Yin Ruoshi was utterly convinced now.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group’s Elder silently cursed at himself for having the blurred vision of an old person almost underestimating Zhao Fu’s power. The stronger Zhao Fu was, the better it would be for the Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group.

The major figures on the viewing platform all sank into their own thoughts. All of them felt a sense of threat from that trace of sword qi, and it seemed slightly familiar as well.

Zhao Fu could not help but start to feel anxious because he had accidentally used the Killing Sword Intent’s power. If things went poorly, his identity as the Killing Sword Master could be exposed.

“Emperor, I also want to fight with you,” a voice sounded out – it was Bai Haoran.

The people in surroundings started talking among themselves, “Bao Haoran’s also going to fight? Does he have the confidence to win against that terrifying Emperor?”

“Bai Haoran is the number one genius in our Ancient Stem Domain; if he doesn’t fight, who else can fight? Only he can defeat that Emperor and bring back some face for the Ancient Stem Domain.”

“I think that it’ll be risky; Gu Jian was completely defenseless against that attack just then, so who knows that other power this Emperor is hiding?”

“Our Ancient Stem Domain is such a big place, yet no one can force out that Emperor’s true strength? Isn’t that too laughable?”

Zhao Fu looked at Bai Haoran who walked up onto the arena and suddenly thought of something. As such, he nodded and agreed to his challenge.

Bai Haoran courteously cupped his hands before his expression became serious.

Boom!

A five-colored aura flame appeared around Bai Haoran as massive gales continuously blew outwards. All energy in the heavens and earth seemed to gather towards Bai Haoran – facing the unfathomable Zhao Fu, Bai Haoran did not hesitate to immediately unleash his full power.

Bai Haoran’s eyes had become five-colored, and his aura rose to its peak, causing the space around him to be distorted.

“Heavens and Earth!” Bai Haoran lightly cried out as a five-colored ring of light expanded out. Above the ring of light was a blue sky and white clouds, and below it was lush green grass and trees.

This was like a world-creating ability; Bai Haoran had created his own world, which he was going to use against Zhao Fu.

In front of this boundless power, everyone felt complete acknowledgement. Bai Haoran was a peerless genius in their hearts, the most talented member of the younger generation in the Ancient Stem Domain. Of course, they did not know that Zhao Fu was from the Ancient Stem Domain too.

Everyone held their breaths and focused as they watched the arena, not wanting to miss this shocking battle.

Boom!

Facing the five-colored ring of light that was spreading out towards him, Zhao Fu unleashed a massive flood of ghostly qi that defended against the five-colored ring of light.

Sensing this incredibly ferocious aura, the major figures on the viewing platform started to look quite serious and shocked.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang...

Six clanging sounds rang out as six figures giving off terrifying auras appeared around Zhao Fu, causing the atmosphere to become incredibly heavy and filled with an eerie coldness. Those six figures were the Six Paths Demon Images.

After their suspicions were confirmed, the major figures on the viewing platforms looked incredibly shocked. They found that Zhao Fu could actually use the Six Paths Demon Images’ power – they were supreme existences in the Underworld, and they were even more terrifying than higher-beings.

This Emperor could actually use their power; his identity far exceeded anything they had expected. The major figures on the viewing platform could not help but feel anxious because this matter now related to the supreme existences of the Underworld.

The King of the Nether Yin Dynasty understood why Zhao Fu could use ghost-type skills and why the ghosts he summoned were so strong. Moreover, the aura from Zhao Fu’s body seemed quite familiar and gave him a trace of pressure; it was possible that it was an Emperor bloodline from the Death Race.

This was Zhao Fu’s aim, using another power to distract everyone and cover the matter with the Killing Sword Intent. He planned to quickly conclude this battle and leave this place as soon as possible.
