This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 449: Chapter 4 Tidal Break (Major Section)_3

The grandeur was breathtaking, inspiring a sense of vast openness in the chest.

“Lu Qingshan of the Sword Sect, dares to ask for guidance from the Jade Wave Sword of the Sword Cleansing Pool.”

Amidst the roaring tide, the crowd heard such a clear and loud voice rising from the river bank.

The Sword Sect…?!

Is it the Sword Sect from the Eastern Domain?!

If so, what brings them to the Western Domain?!

Countless onlookers simultaneously turned their attention towards the source of the disturbance.

A figure was seen arising from the pavilion on the river bank, hurtling towards the Jade Wave Sword Chianliu atop the tidal crest.

First, a blazing red sword light burst forth, charging directly into the rolling waves.

Then, thousands of sword qi filaments surged out, causing the entire Fengling Great River to tremor with their might.

Finally, that figure appeared above the crest of the tide, holding a magnificent sword in hand.

“Lu Qingshan?” Jade Wave Sword Chianliu watched the figure in front of him warily, “The Sword Sect?”

“Indeed, since the Sword Cleansing Pool has opened a grand sword cleansing event here, surely you do not prohibit Sword Sect disciples from participating?” Lu Qingshan asked.

“Of course not.” Chianliu would not allow his own sect to seem any lesser in comparison to the Sword Sect.

“Then that’s good. I am but a small sword cultivator at the Nascent Soul Early Stage from the Sword Sect,” Lu Qingshan nodded lightly, and said in a soft voice, “Today, I ask the Jade Wave Sword of the Sword Cleansing Pool to receive my three swords.”

The moment his words fell,

Secret Sword: Subduing Heaven.

Lu Qingshan said to himself.

Heaven Suppressing was one of the supreme secret sword techniques created by one of the three revered Sword Immortals of the present age.

Only after advancing to Nascent Soul could he finally unleash the complete three swords.

The complete three swords with five times their power.

Sword qi boiled and churned on the body of the Dragon Sparrow Sword, gathering into clusters.

With the fivefold increase in power, even the sword qi seemed restlessly surging like ants on a hot pan, soaring upwards with an intense and unbridled ferocity.

“Slaughter, and penetration….” Lu Qingshan muttered to himself.

The Heaven Suppressing Secret Sword did not stack with other sword techniques, but there was no restriction on Sword Intent.

The Slaughter Sword Intent, born for killing, and the Annihilation Penetrating Sword Intent, created for striking, instantly took form along the blade.

Lu Qingshan did not hold back at all on this first strike after reaching Nascent Soul.

The evolutive power of the Immortal True Intent acted upon the Annihilation Penetrating Sword Intent.

A dazzling cold gleam burst forth from the Dragon Sparrow, exploding with a deafening roar as it blasted forward.

The audience, witnessing the tide, only saw the handsome sword cultivator claiming to be Lu Qingshan, swinging his sword three times under everyone’s gaze.

With the first sword, his power seemed boundless, his radiance sharp, containing twelve hundred sword qi filaments, grandly resembling the Heavenly River turned upside down.

The sword prodigy of the Sword Cleansing Pool, ranked third among the young generation, countered with the apex technique Nine Layers Wave.

The sword contained nine layers of force, blending the Intent of Water with Slaughter Sword Intent, bursting forth wave after wave. Each one stronger than the last, with the nine layers compounded, an unstoppable force emerged.

The sword qi filaments stood against these nine waves, resulting in a Sword Tide truly more tumultuous and surging than the great tide of the Fengling River.

In the blink of an eye, they collided thousands of times.

Bang!

The roar of the great Fengling River tide surged suddenly.

The sword qi, however, vanished in an instant.

The first exchange between Lu Qingshan and Chianliu ended in a draw.

But at this moment, Chianliu’s face showed a tinge of paleness.

Lu Qingshan, on the other hand, still looked as calm as ever.

Then, Lu Qingshan unleashed the second stroke of the Heaven Suppressing Sword.

Thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud!

It was as if war drums were sounding.

Like a giant pounding a fist, it sent Chianliu’s heart and mind reverberating.

He gritted his teeth and softly exclaimed, “Secret Sword: Thousand Layers of Snow!”

Boulders pierced the sky, waves crashed onto the shore, and snow swirled up in thousands.

This was one of the secret swords he had mastered.

Nine Layers Wave was unleashed again, turning into an immense barrage, white as the moon over the river, pouring forth to meet Lu Qingshan’s sword.

Lu Qingshan’s second Heaven Suppressing Sword confronted Chianliu’s Secret Sword: Thousand Layers of Snow.

Between their confrontation, sword light and sword qi continuously surged and eroded each other, and in the blink of an eye, countless fierce clashes occurred.

Boom!

Another explosion resounded.

The sound of war drums ceased, and a thousand heaps of snow passed away.

In the sight of the tide-watching guests, now only the great tide of Fengling River and the two people atop the tidal crest remained.

In this second head-to-head confrontation, the two once again fought to a draw.

But, this… wasn’t over yet.

Finally, Lu Qingshan unleashed his third sword slash.

The already at-wit’s-end Jade Wave Sword Qiuliang could only strive to put forth a sword strike in defense.

Dodge?

It wasn’t that he couldn’t dodge, but under such high-profile scrutiny, if he were to dodge, what would become of the Sword Cleansing Pool’s reputation? Wouldn’t this grand event of the Sword Cleansing Pool on the Fengling River become a joke?

Thus, for the reputation of his sect, he must do everything in his power to block this sword head-on, even if it meant taking serious injury, he had to stop it!

However, he overestimated himself and underestimated Lu Qingshan.

How could he, with barely a breath of energy left, withstand the Heaven Suppressing Sword that he could only block with his full strength?

This time, the balance was instantly broken.

Lu Qingshan’s sword light, like destroying the dry and rotten, smashed through Qiuliang’s layers of waves, heading straight for the already pale-faced Qiuliang.

“Is my life over?” Qiuliang suddenly had this thought flash through his mind.

He couldn’t believe that he might meet his end here, at this Sword Cleansing event on the Fengling River, which he had always considered just a game.

The tide-watching guests were also wide-eyed in disbelief.

A disciple of the Sword Sect was about to slay a disciple of the Sword Cleansing Pool in plain sight of everyone?

If this were to happen, it was easy to imagine how big a storm it would cause in the Western Domain.

Lu Qingshan, looking at Qiuliang’s pale and desperate face, smiled faintly, then swiftly turned the edge of his sword.

Drawing one’s sword and killing at the first sign of trouble—that was the mark of a lunatic, not a Sword Cultivator.

Marching forward unyieldingly was the way of a Sword Cultivator’s spirit, not his conduct towards others.

Defeating the Jade Wave Sword had already regained honor for the Sword Sect.

Killing Qiuliang? That was something only a fool would do.

But once the Heaven Suppressing Sword was unleashed, such a powerful strike, even he could not retract it.

Lu Qingshan could only turn the edge of his sword, redirecting his attack to another.

But on this Fengling River, who else could withstand his all-out strike?

Therefore, Lu Qingshan’s new target became the great tide beneath him on the Fengling River.

On this day, along the bustling banks of Fengling River, all the tide-watching guests witnessed an unforgettable scene.

The two cross-hugging, peaking lines of tide that had reached their zenith suddenly stopped in their tracks.

They were cleaved straight through by a single sword strike.

It was as if by divine craftsmanship.

The water droplets that resembled large and small pearls vanished into nothingness, and the mist evaporated just as well.

Leaving behind only the calm, mirror-like Fengling Great River.

All was gone, as if the tide had never existed.

The sound of the tide, like thunder and hail, also dispersed, vanishing without a trace.

The tide-watching guests stood agape, and for a moment, heaven and earth went still.

An eerily quiet stillness.

Jade Wave Sword Qiuliang hung suspended in mid-air, his face blank, seemingly lost in thought.

A ball of Spiritual Power brushed past, taking away the twenty Spirit Crystals that had been suspended in mid-air.

Between heaven and earth, only the gradually shrinking Escaping Light of Lu Qingshan remained, along with his final, hearty laughter, “These twenty Spirit Crystals from the Sword Cleansing Pool, Lu humbly cannot refuse.”

…….

Lu Qingshan, with one sword, disrupted the great tide of Fengling River.

And also broke the “Tide” of the Sword Cleansing Pool’s Sword.

Truly peerless elegance. @@novelbin@@

The young maiden Li Baoping, who had just entered the world, sat atop the Tide Watching Tower, staring blankly at the gradually disappearing figure above the Fengling River, her thoughts churning like carps vying for food in a pond.

After a long while, she couldn’t help but murmur foolishly, “All is past…”

That figure, she felt she’d probably never forget for the rest of her life…

Li Zhangong glanced at Li Baoping, whose eyes were filled with little stars, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly for his sister.

Their father had said that encountering someone too dazzling in one’s youth was both a fortune… and a misfortune.
