Chapter 187 A Sword Severing an Arm, You Call This Sword Dao?
Chapter 187 A Sword Severing an Arm, You Call This Sword Dao?
The voice of Chu Fengling's spirit body resounded through the heavens and earth, and everyone in the Cangzhou Prefecture could hear it.
He did this to let everyone know that these two rascals were under his protection.
Newcomers to the Martial Emperor Realm? Trash?
The crowd, hearing this, were all speechless.
That was a Martial Emperor, after all. There were only four or five Martial Emperors in all of Cangzhou, the very top fighters in Jiuzhou. Even entering the Martial Emperor Realm at its early stage would allow one to easily defeat a Peak Martial Saint.
Beneath the Martial Emperors, all are ants, this phrase wasn't just an idle boast. In the face of the rules of the Martial Emperors, all other powers seem pale and weak; only a Martial Emperor could combat another Martial Emperor.
Such a powerful being was referred to as trash by this newcomer?
If he's considered trash, then wouldn't almost all of Jiuzhou be considered trash?
"Daddy, beat him up."
Chu Xin and Chu Chen cheered on while setting up a small stool in mid-air, taking out a milk bottle from the Sumeru Ring, sipping on beast milk, and cheering for Chu Fengling's spirit body.
The Second Supreme Elder's face changed unpredictably, looking extremely ugly. He had just broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm and was initially quite self-satisfied, with a sense of pride emerging naturally. How could he accept being called trash on his very first day?
"You little brat, you're seeking death."
He roared in anger, bringing out his semi-Emperor level long sword.
Emperor's Artifacts are extremely difficult to refine, usually nurtured by Martial Emperors themselves, upgrading their originally cultivated lifebound weapons to Emperor's Artifacts.
Besides, even Emperor-level Artifact Refiners find it difficult to craft Emperor's Artifacts because the heavenly materials and earthly treasures required are hard to find.
Not only that, Emperor-level Talismans, Emperor-level Array Stones, and the like also follow the same rationale.
The materials necessary to craft Emperor-level Talismans and Array Stones are too difficult to obtain.
Even those Talismanic Seal Holy Lands and Array Formation Holy Lands with Emperor-level Talisman Masters and Array Masters can hardly craft the second piece of Emperor-level Talisman or Array Stone in their lifetimes.
Chu Feng, having traversed Jiuzhou and collected so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, was indeed capable of crafting Emperor Artifacts, but he used them instead for refining the essence and marrow of his two children.
The Emperor's Artifacts for Chu Xin and Chu Chen were also nurtured and cultivated anew by him each time he re-cultivated to the Martial Emperor, severing the connection to his lifebound Emperor's Artifacts and giving them to Chu Xin and Chu Chen.
Of course, those Holy Lands with deep heritage might have Emperor's Artifacts left by ancestors who failed in crossing the Divine Tribulation, or ancient Emperor's Artifacts found in various dangerous places or ancient mysterious realms.
As for prodigies like Long Shaotian, who possess congenital Emperor's Artifacts, Jiuzhou has but a few.
Although the Cangzhou Prefecture is somewhat stronger than the Holy Lands of Cangzhou at present, it still falls far short in terms of heritage.
After all, the ten great Holy Lands existed before the establishment of the Jiuzhou Empire and are even more ancient than the Jiuzhou Empire itself.
However, it was because the Long Family produced an unparalleled genius who stood out from many heavenly prides, becoming a Martial God, that the Jiuzhou Empire unified Jiuzhou, and even the ten great Holy Lands had to bow their heads and submit.
Cangzhou Prefecture, obviously, did not have spare Emperor's Artifacts to bestow, relying only on their own cultivation.
And this Second Supreme Elder of Cangzhou Prefecture had just broken through to the Martial Emperor and left seclusion, his lifebound holy artifact not having had the chance to be nurtured into a full Emperor's Artifact, but only reaching the state of a semi-Emperor Artifact.
Even so, its power was far greater than that of typical top-grade Holy Artifacts.
"Slaughter Sword Dao, rules coalesce, all things in the world can be slaughtered."
The Second Supreme Elder murmured softly, then with a point of his Sword, the Slaughter Holy Sword soared into the air, with endless Slaughter Rules coalescing into the sword, pouring into it.
In an instant, a terrifying intent to kill and Sword Intent interwoven, locking down the void.
"Slash!"
Accompanying his shout, the Slaughter Holy Sword cleaved through the air.
"Slaughter Sword Dao?"
A hint of disdain appeared on the corner of Chu Fengling's lips, "You call that Sword Dao? Sword Dao revolves around the sword, but you prioritize slaughter. Let me teach you what true Slaughter Sword Dao is."
After speaking, he formed his fingers into a sword and swung fiercely, sending a dazzling Sword Qi tearing through the air.
This Sword Qi was entirely condensed from Sword Rules, yet it emitted a terrifying aura of slaughter.
The Slaughter Holy Sword wielded by the Second Supreme Elder also contained a terrifying slaughtering aura, but it was formed by the Slaughter Rule, supplemented with the essence of Sword Dao.
If he had been cultivating the Path of Slaughter, this would not have been problematic; however, since the Second Supreme Elder was cultivating the Sword Dao, deviating from his path posed a significant problem.
The Sword Qi collided with the Slaughter Holy Sword. The clash of Rule Powers created a thunderous explosion, sending shockwaves rippling outwards, reducing everything nearby to dust.
Even the State City, located a considerable distance away, was greatly affected; many buildings collapsed in an instant, and many weaker cultivators started coughing up blood from their injuries.
The most tragic were those Sword Cultivators; under the terrifying Sword Intent, they almost had their Sword Hearts shattered.
Buzz!
The Slaughter Holy Sword vibrated violently, showing signs of retreating.
"No, this can't be possible."
The Second Supreme Elder's expression changed drastically, and he swiftly waved his Sword Point, sending another surge of energy containing Slaughter Rule and True Qi into the Slaughter Holy Sword.
With this renewed burst of power, the Slaughter Holy Sword finally stabilized.
However, it only held steady for a moment before it began to shake even more violently than before.
Bang!
The next moment, the Slaughter Holy Sword could no longer hold out; it was sent flying by the Sword Qi. The Second Supreme Elder, whose mind was connected to the Slaughter Holy Sword, let out a muffled groan, his consciousness faltering for a brief moment.
In that brief moment, the Sword Qi was already upon him.
Startled back to his senses, the Second Supreme Elder quickly dodged to the side, but it was a moment too late.
A slicing sound was heard as the Sword Qi struck his left shoulder, severing his left arm at the shoulder.
"Ah! My hand!"
The Second Supreme Elder let out a piercing scream of agony.
"Wow! Daddy is so amazing."
"Wow! Daddy is so awesome."
Chu Xin and Chu Chen, with pacifiers in their mouths and clutching milk bottles, shouted indistinctly while wildly clapping their small hands, their round eyes shining with admiration. In their hearts, Daddy was invincible.
"Just one sword strike, and the Martial Emperor from the State Mansion has fallen?"
The observing cultivators from the State Mansion were all shocked. That was a Martial Emperor, yet how could he be so easily defeated? What cultivation level did that man possess? Could he be a Middle Stage Martial Emperor? Or a Late Stage Martial Emperor? Or perhaps even a Peak Martial Emperor?
"No, this can't be possible!"
The Dragon Mother's body swayed, almost dropping from the roof beam, her face ashen.
She had been hoping the Second Supreme Elder would kill those two little beasts, but instead, all she now had was the Second Supreme Elder, getting his arm severed by a sword strike from the father of those two little beasts.
If she had known earlier that those two little ones could summon their father at any time, if she had known how strong their father was, she wouldn't have acted so rashly and would at least have waited for the State Governor and the Supreme Elder to return before taking action.
"Yes, the State Governor and the Supreme Elder."
The Dragon Mother's eyes lit up, and she shouted behind her: "Quickly send a message to the State Governor, tell him a Martial Emperor has attacked the State Mansion, and it is in dire straits, we need reinforcements immediately."
"At once!"
A disciple quickly turned around and left.
"Bastard, I must kill you today."
The Second Supreme Elder, enduring the pain of his severed arm, with madness flickering in his eyes, waved his Sword Point again, and controlled the Slaughter Holy Sword to hover in the void before him, he shouted gravely: "Slaughter Rule Domain, open!"
