Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

Chapter 377: Chapter 12: The Spear Borrowed from Another’s Son
 

Given Empyrean Kong shi’s rules, pierced by the opponent’s sword, knowing there was no room for return, Zhang Xuan took a step forward, the Cold Nether Sword materialized in his palm, and with a light flick, multiple strands of sword qi drifted like fine rain.

Silky Rain Sword.

The surrounding guards, possessing only around Galaxy 6-dan in strength, couldn’t withstand it, and with just one move, they all flew backwards and crashed to the ground.

One by one, their chests displayed hideous wounds, lying on the ground paralyzed.

Among his peers, Zhang Xuan, without even using the Pathos of Heaven Sword Technique, was undoubtedly invincible.

“You…”

Seeing this scene, the initially charging guards involuntarily halted, each filled with fear.

Even the elderly accuser’s expression fluctuated, turning alternately red and white.

Originally assuming the young lad was not very capable and would surely admit defeat when facing the guards, he didn’t expect such audacity, directly engaging and displaying immense power!

“So, he does have some abilities, no wonder he dares to be so arrogant. But, kid, choosing to fight back against the Wanxiang Sect’s capture, you’re dead for sure!”

Eyes narrowing, Captain Su stepped forward.

Before arriving, the oppressive might of Galaxy 9-dan was already assaulting them.

With equal power, he was unmistakably stronger than Prince Shen Ling, who had barely recovered to this cultivation realm; his sword descending created a strange curve, the sharp sword qi nearly tearing the soul apart.

Feeling a shock through his mind, Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but step back twice.

His soul, already merged into the New World, was intact as long as the New World remained unaffected; even such a powerful soul assault caught him off guard, causing a slight disadvantage but no damage.

“Interesting!”

Seeing that his all-out attack didn’t inflict significant damage, Captain Su was also somewhat incredulous, striking again with his sword.

Whether from the Wanxiang Sect or some other reason, the sword qi was abundant and powerful.

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, the resources obtained from Shen Ling exploding partly, transforming into endless power, converging into a potent Sword Intent, and meeting the attack head-on.

Pathos of Heaven Sword Technique!

Facing a Galaxy 9-dan exerting full power, there was no chance to hide or hold back.

Bang Bang Bang!

The clashing of the swords forced Zhang Xuan to retreat, unable to help himself, and Captain Su too had a tough time, his arm going numb seemingly injured by the opponent’s sword.

“Galaxy 6-dan Peak, yet unleashing power not inferior to 9-dan… Seems you have quite a few artifacts, no wonder you dare to be so bold!”

Astonished, Captain Su’s eyes narrowed: “But ultimately, a cultivator’s strength determines everything. Now let me show you just how terrifying Galaxy 9-dan can be!”

With a shout, the long sword stabbed out again.

Since an offense had already been committed, there could be no holding back; otherwise, it would only leave trouble.

Cold Nether Sword guarded the vital points, Zhang Xuan retreating continuously, and at the same moment, the mind whispered “Defect”.

Buzz~~

A book appeared inside the Library of Heaven’s Path, gently opened, countless contents caught his eye.

“Su Mingchen, Wanxiang Sect’s Tianli City suburban branch, Guard Captain, cultivation at the Galaxy 9-dan primary stage, practicing the Heavenly Destiny of Official, and standard fourth-order sword art. Weaknesses: First, he experienced heartbreak during his youth and does not easily trust others. Second, there are specific defects in his battle techniques which can easily be exploited…”@@novelbin@@

“Heavenly Destiny of Official?” Zhang Xuan was startled.

Whether it was the previously mentioned Heavenly Fate of Skill or the current Heavenly Destiny of Official, he had never heard of them before nor knew their level.

However, since they could bring a cultivator’s cultivation to Galaxy 9-dan, the level must be quite high.

Continuing to read further down, Zhang Xuan finally felt a sense of relief.

Although the opponent’s cultivation of the Heavenly Destiny was high and the sword art had been refined by countless people, being near flawless, as long as there were battle techniques, there were defects, and these could be seen through by the Library of Heaven’s Path.

Stepping back continuously seven or eight steps to avoid the sharpness of the opponent’s sword qi, Zhang Xuan found the loophole and pointed his sword.

Enveloped by sword qi, Su Mingchen looked bewildered, his emotions being drawn out, as if instantly returning to the year he was twenty-one.

Successful in his cultivation, spirited, he had spent a year’s salary to buy a gift, planning to confess to the girl he liked. Arriving at her doorstep, before he could enter, he found the girl in the arms of a corpulent middle-aged man, caressed upper and lower, lasciviously taken advantage of.

Initially thinking she was being coerced, he realized she showed no unwillingness on her face. Furious, he charged over but was then brutally beaten by the middle-aged man’s guards, receiving intense mocking.

Even the girl who had been intimately close with him, looked at him with contempt.

At that moment, he understood that without capabilities, even the girl he liked looked down on him.

Feeling the involuntary moisture on his face, tears flowing down, Su Mingchen’s whole body shuddered, breaking free from the depression: “What sorcery is this…”

The seemingly ordinary sword art of the opponent had controlled his emotions, causing him to feel an involuntary sense of loss; if it were not for his profound cultivation, reacting in time to break free, he might have been ensnared already.

“Captain Su, if I said I know where Meng Yarou is, and could even help you find her?”

Zhang Xuan gave a slight smile.

Although the previous exchange had successfully manipulated the opponent’s emotions, it was merely a surprise tactic. To truly exert all his strength in combat, with his current strength, he could kill him, but then leaving this place wouldn’t be so easy.

Therefore, the best method was to try to negotiate, not to escalate the situation further.

And Meng Yarou was exactly the girl from his memories at age 21.

“You… how do you know?”

Su Mingchen’s body stiffened.

Having been abandoned by that moonlight beauty, he left his hometown, came here, achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, and even became the captain of the guards, successful and renowned.

Last year, he returned home, hoping to show his successful return, to show her just how poor her judgment was, only to find that the woman had left ten years ago, never to return.

After a long search without finding her, he had given up, but now this guy he just met not only knew but also said he could find her…

“Forget why I know!”

Zhang Xuan shook his head: “You understand the feud I have with this guy, and it’s not my fault… How about this, I don’t need the 2000 Destiny Plates I got, and not only that, but I’ll also tell you Meng Yarou’s location, and all you need to do is deal with him for me…”

Burning all his resources to kill the opponent would be a huge loss, totally unnecessary.

Since that’s the case, better to use a spear from his son to attack his shield.

This old guy, wasn’t he using these 2000 Destiny Plates to lure this Captain Su into killing himself?

Then he would use these benefits in the same way to force him to kill the opponent!

“Captain Su, don’t listen to him…” The old man’s face instantly turned ashen.
