Chapter 428: Sword Saint.
Hao Ren was standing inside the isolation barrier. He was surrounded by the Ye Disciples, and Ye Yue, however, on the other side, stood the three generals of the Rising Flame Kingdom. They were not happy with Hao Ren's sudden identity elevation. They thought of him as a Grandmaster Alchemist and then he surprised them with this skill with the sword. However, what shocked them the most and also made them feel betrayed was the arrival of Ye Generals.
The situation between the two parties was quite tense and they were ready to go at each other, but held back. Ye Yue and the rest were weaker when it came to the cultivation realm, but in reality they were all cunning and had more tricks than the three ladies could even imagine. Ye Yue had comprehended the meaning of charm and if she was to use her technique, she would easily dispose of these people.
However, they could not bring trouble to Hao Ren. They stood waiting for Hao Ren to finish his enlightenment, however, inside the barrier, Hao Ren was cynically moving towards something way too complex than enlightenment.
Everything that he comprehended was being engraved on the halo behind him. Another thing was that after waking up from the state of enlightenment he directly consumed the sword intent grass.
This increased his efficiency in understanding the profound truth of the logics of cultivation, and also boosted his sword heart. Hao Ren was just focusing on getting stronger. He didn't know what was going on outside and Yin's momentary panic had blown his cover. He just kept on comprehending and the wait extended to three days, when suddenly, the young generals and the Ye disciples sensed something.
Ye Long, the disciple of Ye Jian said, "It seems, the Young Master has reached the step."
The people looked at him, and Ye Long held his sheathe high in the void, the blade moved out of the sheath on its own and began to revolve around Hao Ren's barrier with the tip of the blade pointing at the ground.
The three ladies thought it was a trick but then their own swords began to tremble, and they shot out of the sheaths directly displaying the same behavior as Ye Long's sword.
Just when the three were shocked, they sensed a terribly thick, suffocating sword intent began to resonate in the void. Ye Yue looked at the situation and said, "All of you, get back, don't stand too close to him."
The people heed her words and moved, and sure enough, after a couple of minutes the entire void was filled with swords that were pointing at the ground and floating in the void. Revolving around Hao Ren as if he was the center of the world.
Yin sensed something and removed the barrier. Ye Yue asked, "Why did you do that?"
Yin replied by pointing her finger at Hao Ren. The Halo of the saint behind him had manifested completely and she said, "He has broken into the realm of the saints. He is a sword saint."
Ye Yue looked at Hao Ren and she sensed something that made her want to kneel and kowtow to him. Hao Ren looked so holy and noble that even the young men were thinking if they were straight at this moment.
At this moment, many people who chased after their swords appeared in the void surrounding them, one of them was Ye Jian and the other was Hao Mei. However, they both looked at each other and Hao Ren from a distance.
The sky changed and it was covered with golden clouds. The clouds thundered, many people even began to speculate if the world was ending.
However, following this a deafening voice echoed in the surroundings, "Saintly seeds take the root, walk between heaven and earth pursuing the eternal truth."
Hao Ren was surprised, and he opened his eyes to look at the heavenly phenomena, but nothing was visible on his face. He looked around him and found that tens of thousands of swords were chiming as they vibrated at higher frequency.
Ye Jian said, "Ten thousand swords bowing to the saint."
He bowed to Hao Ren and said, "Ye Jian greets the Sword Saint."
Hao Ren nodded and replied as he asked, "Thank you for your respect."
Ye Jian took the lead, followed by Hao Mei, and the rest of the people in the surroundings also began to bow and greet him with respect. Hao Ren shook his head and greeted everyone back, before he held the Chaos Sword back.
His temperament has turned into something much more ethereal. The people were shivering when his gaze ran over them. In the past few days, Hao Ren had completely digested the information from the thousand sword art books that were delivered by Empress Rising Flame.
Then the duel with the three ladies, followed by the epiphany and consumption of the sword grass. His comprehension had indeed reached that of a saint, but at this moment the system was raging on, *Bitch, can you step back on the ground? You are not yet a saint. These insolent creatures don't know yet, they haven't deciphered the meaning of the heaven's decree. You are just a saint seed. You have a long way to go to become a pinnacle sword saint.*
Hao Ren sighed and replied, 'I am aware, only twenty five percent of my Halo has been inscribed. System, you know something?'
*What?* asked the system.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, 'From the moment you have binded with me. My life has never been the same. There have been a lot of moments where I even thought that Heaven has simply bestowed me with the destiny to suffer. Lingshi is there, and so are the others, but they are unaware of my most guarded secret, which is you. It all began when you came to life…'
*Wait a second, are you getting emotional?*
Hao Ren sighed and said, 'No, no, how can I get emotional, isn't that all just stupid? I was only thinking that maybe the cause of my troubles and toiling originates from you? Maybe you are the jinx of my life that has caused me to feel troubled, otherwise, even if I were to live a boring life, it would have been…'
*Fuck you, fuck you asshole, you shit brick. You think I am the cause of your misery? Is it not your behavior, always candid and stupidly waiting for a golden-finger. You should have gotten a golden dick in that ass you clenched just when the heaven's decree was issued. You filthy bug-like existence.*
Hao Ren didn't back off, he stood in the void with his eyes closed as the two of them hurled curses at each other one after the other. After a few minutes, the system said, *Since you love cursing so much, go and cuss your wife. If you fail the task, you can hold your detached nuts and lick them by yourself.*
Hao Ren said, "Fine, cut off my nuts right away, that will damage my Yang energy and restrict the path to the so-called omnipotence that you promised. I wonder what would happen to you if you failed to complete your mandate."
The system fell silent, Hao Ren waited for a few minutes to see if his nuts would really fall, but they didn't and he understood that the system was just bluffing him all this while and he was working for nothing.
He took a deep breath and decided that he would deal with this later, as right now, he had another task to handle. The sword cultivators who came over have left, but he could sense that the old people from the distant lands were moving quickly towards the location. He took a deep breath and looked at the three generals and his family members as he said, "This misunderstanding between us can be cleared later, for now, please retreat, some seniors from the Dao World Realm are heading over, and I am sure, you don't wish to get in trouble with them. General Yuntao, after exchanging blows with me, you should know that I don't have any ill-will for the Kingdom or you all. Please give me the time to deal with things here before we can sort out our issues."
Yuntao Hachi thought for a bit and nodded before she clasped her fists and said, "Greetings to the sword saint."
The two generals beside her followed the command and then Hao Ren reciprocated the gesture before he looked at his sister and said, "Mei, take them back to the city and conceal the breaths. You all don't exist until I come back. You have five minutes."
Hao Mei and Ye Jian were still present, they moved quickly and then Hao Ren waved his hand to disturb the surroundings with his strong sword intent. He didn't clean the aura's of all the people around him, but only of his family.
After five minutes he opened his eyes and asked, "Since seniors have come, why test the junior from the shadows?"
Ten people appeared before him. Hao Ren could sense the thick heaven and earth essence over them. These people somehow used the true meanings to conceal their presence as they traveled. It was just that his senses were too sharp that he managed to detect them.
One of the old men stroked his beard and asked, "You are the Sword Saint it seems, but what is so different about you from the rest of the sword practitioners?"
Hao Ren didn't reply instantly, he waited, before he saw that none of the others were speaking and he held his sword as he said, "Senior, perhaps an exchange in sword skills might clarify this doubt?"
One elder chuckled and said, "Old Mao, this kid is interesting, take him on."
What do you think?
