Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 26 Ding Chunqiu’s Strength

The new master of the Feather Clan asked with a smile, “Is this Imperator Ding’s idea?”

“My father is secretive. I haven’t seen him for a long time,” Ding Chunqiu said calmly.

The new master of the Feather Clan did not speak, but he was pondering in his heart. This challenge to the White-Robed Emperor was a move to test the Human Clan, or to put it bluntly, to test Ding Hao. Now that the White-Robed Emperor had not appeared, but Ding Chunqiu had taken the initiative to stand up. In a sense, he would be a more suitable candidate.

The new master of the Feather Clan was a crazy guy. At this time, flames of anger were burning in his heart.

“Okay. I’d love to see the unique skills of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.” The new master of the Feather Clan nodded.

“The outcome will be revealed in three moves.” Ding Chunqiu slowly came to the final battle area.

The moment he froze, Ding Chunqiu’s momentum soared. He flipped his hand in the void, and a white saber appeared in his hand. He was ready to attack.

The big saber in his hand was not very outstanding in appearance, and it even did not have the basic conditions to be a saber.

The blade was almost curved, and its surface was rough and colorless. At first glance, it looked no different from an iron piece picked up from the roadside. The hilt was only wrapped in white cloth a few times.

Even if it was truly considered to be a saber, it would be a saber without a blade. In fact, it could even be said that the blade was thicker than the back of the saber. It was a completely blunt saber.

Some people might be surprised that the head of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would use such a weapon.

But those who had read history books or had a certain understanding of Ding Hao would not be too surprised, because what Ding Hao used to use was a rusted sword that was not worth mentioning.

In fact, Ding Chunqiu’s blunt saber had an extraordinary origin.

It was rumored that the Heaven Path suffered endless tribulations at the end of the Immortal Period, and all types of natural and man-made disasters were endless. During that time, a sudden meteor shower almost destroyed the Heaven Path world.

At that time, the greatest experts had tried their best to turn the tables in this sudden calamity. They had joined hands and used their supreme power to create a protective Immortal Qi barrier around the world of the Heaven Path, allowing them to just barely block the attacks of so many meteorites.

However, there were still a few fierce meteorites that broke through the sky and attacked the Heaven Path continent.

The areas hit by the meteorites all caused devastating damage.

After the blow, it would naturally be a blessing in disguise.

The saber in Ding Chunqiu’s hand was the one he accidentally obtained in the area attacked by meteorites when he traveled in the Heaven Path world in the early years.

At first glance, Ding Chunqiu felt the unparalleled power of Heaven Fire on this piece of meteorite metal. Ding Chunqiu had tried to make it into a saber to cooperate with the burning flame Qi in his body.

However, no matter what means Ding Chunqiu used, even if he borrowed the Hellfire from the Earthveins, he could not temper this meteorite metal a little bit.

All the essence of this meteorite metal fell from the sky. After being cut by the Immortal Qi barrier, it was difficult for any external force to affect it.

Ding Chunqiu had put in a lot of effort and even nurtured it with his own blood essence to transform it into a saber shape.

That was probably what the so-called skillful work meant.

The members of the Ding Clan must be favored by God. Ding Chunqiu was greatly talented. He inherited his parents’ blood and finally tamed this unruly meteorite metal. Although its shape was still not like a saber, Ding Chunqiu had injected the saber’s spirit into it. It was a real saber.

It was a Heaven Fire Blade.

Ding Chunqiu held the blade in his hand, and the Saber Intent was faintly emitted.

The experts outside the boundary formation all shivered.

The Saber Intent, as a martial art beyond the scope of magic skills, was a kind of martial arts cultivation purely dependent on personal opportunities and comprehension.

Even Ding Hao’s son would not get to master Saber Intent or Sword Intent without sufficient comprehension, even though he had the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword.

However, as the successor of the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword, Ding Chunqiu had not only inherited the bloodline of the Saintly Being but also mastered the unprecedented skills of Saber Intent and Sword Intent.

Were all the Ding family members’ martial arts destiny and comprehension so incredible?

At the same time.

In an instant, the Golden Wings on Xiang Zeyu’s body flashed with an extremely strong golden light.

The golden wings on his back spread out like a peacock spreading its tail. In an instant, two pairs of wings turned into four pairs, four pairs into six pairs, and six pairs into eight pairs.

Layers upon layers of golden wings appeared on Xiang Zeyu’s back.

Each pair of wings, as well as the golden light they emitted, was about the same size. They resembled a perfect copy of a masterpiece in a mirror.

Each wing was enough to envelop Xiang Zeyu’s entire body. The feathers on the wings were neat and dense, all shining with the purest golden light.

“Are these the legendary Golden Wings?”

“It is indeed full of Demon Aura. This kind of demonic aura is pure to the extreme. He is indeed worthy of the reputation of the legendary Feather God.”

“Will the outcome be revealed in one move?”

As the top masters were about to make a move, countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the experts outside the boundary formation.

At this time, Ding Hao was also attracted by the legendary Golden Wings. He vaguely felt that every feather on the Golden Wings was similar to the aura of the Space Spinel, but it was not complete.

Just as the golden wings spread to the twelfth pair, the dazzling light instantly burst out even more dazzlingly, and the wings that spread out suddenly stopped.

Accompanied by this flash of intense light, Xiang Zeyu also disappeared from his original location.

At the same time, the blunt saber in Ding Chunqiu’s right hand shook.

A streak of invisible Saber Intent burst out.

Ding Chunqiu’s Saber Intent perfectly inherited the natural power of the variation of four seasons left by his father.

Ding Chunqiu’s first strike was the Wind Saber Intent.

It was a simple saber move without too many fancy effects. There was no powerful mysterious strength fluctuation around Ding Chunqiu. Merely a breeze was stirred up.

However-

Just as a golden figure was approaching Ding Chunqiu at a speed that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, the breeze passed.

Xiang Zeyu, who is moving fast, has a flash of surprise in his eyes.

As the Wind Saber Intent swept across the ground, a tornado instantly appeared. The moment when Xiang Zeyu approached, the tornado appeared around Ding Chunqiu without warning.

This gust of wind was not only fierce but also contained a fierce power of raging fire. This was the wall of wind and fire built by Ding Chunqiu with his Saber Intent.

...

Ding Chunqiu had not only comprehended the Saber Intent of Meteorological Phenomena but also fully integrated it with the Heaven Fire nature of the Heaven Fire Blade so that there was a gust of horrible devouring fire hidden in the Saber Intent.

The fire was hidden in the wind, and the wind was adding fuel to the fire. They complemented each other so that no matter how powerful the opponent’s weapon was, it would not dare to approach easily.

Xiang Zeyu does not approach Ding Chunqiu rashly.

Both sides had performed their first moves. Xiang Zeyu’s 12 pairs of wings were flexible but insufficient to attack. It seemed that he wanted to test the waters. Ding Chunqiu focused on defense to check the strength of his opponent.

For a moment, it was hard to tell who was stronger.

“Hah!”

With a low shout, the tornado wall, which was mixed with the momentum of wind and fire, instantly rushed around. Its momentum was earth-shattering, and it had the power to sweep away thousands of troops. The dark clouds in the sky also changed color and surged wildly.

The wind of Heaven Fire radiated outwards. Wherever it passed, the earth and rocks were reduced to dust.

In the air, Xiang Zeyu remained unmoved. His 12 pairs of golden wings, six pairs of upper and six pairs of lower, formed a cone shape and wrapped around him.

The wind and fire swept past, not leaving any traces on the wings.

After the wind, both sides performed their second moves.

...

Ding Chunqiu shook the long sword in his left hand, and a streak of Sword Light and Sword Intent spread out.

The sword in his left hand was crystal clear as if it were a piece of exquisite raw jade or a crystal extracted from the thousand-year-old ice. Once the long sword appeared, a noble and cold power instantly filled the whole sea of thunder.

Compared with the Heaven Fire Blade, Ding Chunqiu’s long sword looked extremely noble.

This was Ding Chunqiu’s Star-seeking Moon-cutting Sword, which he had accidentally obtained from a cold stone that had existed for thousands of years in the northernmost part of the Heaven Path and was the closest to the Heavenly Star.

This rare divine weapon complemented the frosty Qi Seed in Ding Chunqiu’s body as if it had been custom-made for him.

Accompanied by this graceful and endless Sword Light, Ding Chunqiu’s figure flashed toward Xiang Zeyu like lightning.

Just as Ding Chunqiu approached Xiang Zeyu, the Golden Wings seemed to have sensed Ding Chunqiu’s Sword Intent. In an instant, the 12 pairs of wings spread out to confront the sword.

The golden light rose again and almost engulfed Ding Chunqiu’s figure. It even swallowed everything that could be seen in the sea of thunder.

This sudden golden light covered all the other lights. It was very difficult for the experts outside the boundary formation to see what was happening inside.

Only those who had reached the True Immortal Realm could see clearly that at the moment when the Star-seeking Moon-cutting Sword approached Xiang Zeyu, the Golden Wings had stretched to the eighteenth pair.

“Spring, summer, autumn…”

Fang Tianyi, who was watching the battle, was sensing Ding Chunqiu’s Sword Intent carefully with his eyes closed.

Ding Chunqiu’s Sword Intent of the 24 Solar Terms had completed a small cycle in the three seasons of spring, summer, and autumn.

However, this move was not over yet.

In the crowd, Ding Hao had already foreseen something. Even though the Sword Intent had performed 18 solar terms, Xiang Zeyu was still able to deal with it very well.

Moreover, Ding Chunqiu also had to deal with Xiang Zeyu’s means.

Within the blinding light, black lines flashed by. Those were the tracks drawn by the shooting feathers of the Golden Wings.

The legendary Golden Wings were not only known for their great defense and speed, but they could also kill people at the God Realm peak stage in an instant when it came to attacking. At this time, Xiang Zeyu was using the Golden-feathered Flying Shuttles.

The feathers that flashed out from the light were as silent as ghosts and as fast as lightning.

Ding Chunqiu’s Sword Intent was so pure that Xiang Zeyu had to be careful. At the same time, Ding Chunqiu was also restricted by the endless golden shuttles.

It remained a stalemate until another pair of wings grew on Xiang Zeyu’s back.

As Ding Chunqiu’s Sword Intent approached again and again, Xiang Zeyu unfolded 20 pairs of Golden Wings, and the golden light was upgraded again, which was just like the sun rising in the sky.

Originally, the golden light had only been able to drown out all of the light. However, at that moment, the golden light was unable to devour heaven and earth.

The Golden-feathered Flying Shuttles that were constantly flying out of the golden light also became more dense and violent. Like a rainstorm, they shot wildly toward Ding Chunqiu.

In the strong light, Ding Chunqiu simply closed his eyes and concentrated his mind on his left hand. He changed the move of the sword in his hand, and a gust of ice-cold Sword Intent burst out from the Star-seeking Moon-cutting Sword.

Hiss!

The transparent Sword Qi first enveloped Ding Chunqiu. When every Golden-feathered Flying Shuttle went through, the extremely cold Sword Intent broke out. The two pieces of golden feathers were frozen into ice cubes and fell to the ground.

Then, the extremely cold Sword Intent completely broke out.

…

The fighting stopped.

The strong light faded away, and the air was filled with a chilling aura.

Everyone looked curiously at the boundary formation, only to see two people standing on the ground, on the white snow.
