Chapter 536: The Death of the Blind Swordmaster
Translator: Iamgt Editor: Lucas
"Yu~~" The high-pitched bird cry resonated above the endless wilderness.
"Teng Qingshan!" Although the Blind Swordmaster Tie Wu couldn't see, he could sense Teng Qingshan's presence. Immediately, he sneered and shouted, "You hid your identity really well. I can't believe you actually managed to endure and continued to use your alias ever since you came back. A 21-year-old Emptiness Realm Expert! I, Tie Wu, can't believe that I was able to encounter an opponent like you before the end of my life."
"Nor did I expect myself to hold such a deep grudge against Qing Hu Island. This can either end with my death or Qing Hu Island's destruction." Teng Qingshan lamented as he stood on the Undying Phoenix's back.
The two Emptiness Realm Experts were prepared as they stood opposite each other.
The two readied themselves for a fight of life or death.
"Martial Ancestor, run!" Tie Pan, who was in Teng Qingshan's grip, couldn't help but roar out loud.
With a simple wave of his hand, Teng Qingshan threw Tie Pan down, causing him to fall from a height of several dozen Zhang. When Tie Pan was about to reach the ground, he nimbly tumbled, eliminating the force of the impact. Still, he fell like an ugly stone and spat out a mouthful of blood. He then stood up straight and looked to the sky.
At this moment, the two Emptiness Realm Experts in the sky could only see each other.
"Martial Ancestor." Tie Pan felt very anxious.
Run?
The Blind Swordmaster wanted to leave, but he knew that he wouldn't be able to outrun the Undying Phoenix. He had witnessed the Undying Phoenix's speed when it moved underground. When he was hovering in mid-air, the Undying Phoenix instantly appeared before him.
The Undying Phoenix's speed determined that it was impossible for the Blind Swordmaster to escape.
Since escaping was impossible, he thought that he might as well bet his life on this fight!
"I am an Emptiness Realm Culmination Expert! Teng Qingshan obviously has not attained the culmination of Emptiness Realm. I just don't believe I can't kill him!"
"It will be extremely hard to kill Teng Qingshan, as he has the aid of the Undying Phoenix. However, if I am able to kill Teng Qingshan today, there will be hope for Qing Hu Island! The Gui Yuan Sect would lose its strongest pillar and Qing Hu Island might regain control of Yangzhou!" The Blind Swordmaster was well aware that the Emptiness Realm Demonic Beasts were assisting the Gui Yuan Sect because they listened to Teng Qingshan's orders.
If Teng Qingshan died, those demonic beasts wouldn't help the Gui Yuan Sect anymore.
Therefore, the Blind Swordmaster had only one choice.
"I will find a way out of this impasse!" The Blind Swordmaster was very determined. The two black beams of light in his grey eyes instantly contracted into two black dots, appearing like black pupils.
"Teng Qingshan, I have heard that you are a very powerful spearmaster. Do you plan to use an axe or a spear against me?" The Blind Swordmaster's cold voice sounded.
"Since this is my last fight with you, Tie Wu, of course I will use my spear art!"
Teng Qingshan gripped the Reincarnation Spear and placed it before him.
"I, Tie Wu, have ventured this world for over 400 years. Today, I will fight you, the youngest Emptiness Realm Expert since ancient times. Let's see who will survive this fight!" The Blind Swordmaster sneered and said, "Of course, if you think it's unfair, you can ask the Undying Phoenix to help you. I, Tie Wu, will fight you both!"
"Just me alone is enough!"
Teng Qingshan appeared very focused. His desire to battle rose continually. Soon, he was prepared for this fight of life or death.
"Six months have passed since I comprehended the Water Elemental Dao. This battle will tell me how much I have improved since then! I have the Hong Tian Godly Armor and have created many techniques through the learning of"Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms". With the Undying Phoenix by my side, my demeanor has already prevailed. If I can't kill the Blind Swordmaster, then I shouldn't attempt to teach the Internal Martial Arts to the people of this world."
"It's either his death…" the Blind Swordmaster roared inwardly, "...Or mine!"
At this moment, the two had such unprecedented determination.
Silence!
The two Emptiness Realm Experts displayed extremely powerful demeanors. The pressuring feeling caused by the invisible and untouchable demeanor was like the depressing emotion one would feel before the occurrence of a storm. At this moment, the sun hid behind the gloomy clouds and the insects no longer chirped. It was dead silence!
Tie Pan was the only one looking up from the ground.
"Hah!"
Teng Qingshan, who rode on the Undying Phoenix, suddenly shouted loudly. His shout was as loud as the noises of fireworks. He then leaped up and ascended like a male hawk. While he was still in mid-air, he lifted up his Reincarnation Spear and dove down. At that instant, Teng Qingshan seemed like a god who was about to split the heavens and earth apart.
The Blind Swordmaster hovered in mid-air. He held the thin iron rod and stood there calmly.
Rumble~~ The Reincarnation Spear launched from the sky and instantly changed the colors of the sky.
"Ridiculous." The Blind Swordmaster smirked and thrust the thin iron rod upward at lightning speed.
It was just a simple thrust!
The thin iron rod meticulously hit the shaft of the Reincarnation Spear, causing an undulation of the atmosphere. The wave motion of the air actually moved along the thin iron rod and undulated toward the Blind Swordmaster. The Blind Swordmaster's facial expression changed and the thin iron rod trembled slightly. The quiver of the rod was barely noticeable. The Blind Swordmaster's face flushed as he staggered and fell to the ground.
"How do you like this move, Splitting Mountain?" Teng Qingshan guffawed and descended at high speed.
Bang!
When Teng Qingshan landed on the ground, his moved his legs and instantly disappeared. He then appeared right beside the Blind Swordmaster. He swirled the shaft of the Reincarnation Spear, causing the shaft to curve slightly. The spear then attacked like a dragon emerging with a roar.
The Blind Swordmaster sneered coldly and quickly launched his weapon forward three times.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The thin rod poked the spearhead thrice and immediately disrupted the rhythm of Teng Qingshan's technique. He was about to perform the Vermillion Metallic Tiger Cannon, but he had no choice but to stop. Still, he didn't hesitate to immediately take three steps forward. With each step several dozen Zhang away from each other, he moved in a zigzag pattern.
A fierce glint flashed in the Blind Swordmaster's eyes as he quickly followed and hurled seven black beams of light at Teng Qingshan.
Teng Qingshan was retreating, while the Blind Swordmaster was attacking.
"Haha!" Suddenly, Teng Qingshan guffawed. Instead of moving back, he turned and dashed toward the Blind Swordmaster.
Sizzle~~
As he turned the tip of the Reincarnation Spear, sparks of fire flew out from the tip. The spinning spear had created this marvelous spiraling force that seemed to be tearing the heavens and earth apart. The spear had become this enormous electrical drill that bored a hole through the heavens and earth as it made its way toward the Blind Swordmaster. The power of the spear was so great that the Blind Swordmaster's facial expression changed.
Fiery Thunderous Dragon Drill! This technique was one of the two great techniques Teng Qingshan had created after pondering and suffering for a long time.
The Blind Swordmaster himself roared, "Die!!!" Immediately, the thin rod transformed into nine blurred beams of light. No one could tell which beam of light was the true form! However, when the nine beams of light clashed with Teng Qingshan's spear, not a sound was made.
They didn't defend!
The Blind Swordmaster didn't block Teng Qingshan's spear, and Teng Qingshan didn't block the Blind Swordmaster's terrifying thrust.
Clang~~
Strangely, a dagger suddenly appeared in the Blind Swordmaster's left hand and was quickly used to stab the tip of the Reincarnation Spear, which was enwrapped in flames.
"Break it!" Teng Qingshan screamed.
The spiraling force produced by the tip of the spear immediately numbed the Blind Swordmaster's left hand and caused blood to seep out of his purlicue. The black dagger was sent high up by the spiraling force produced by the tip of the spear and instantly penetrated the Blind Swordmaster's left arm! At this very moment, the Blind Swordmaster's thin rod pierced Teng Qingshan's chest as well.
Bang! Bang!
The two were pushed back far away by the force of impact. Because of these two godly existences, the earth trembled and cracked, creating many fissures.
"Haha… Blind Tie, you are truly audacious. I am surprised that you are not wearing your godly armor when you are fighting a fight of life or death with me." Teng Qingshan rubbed off the blood on the corner of his mouth and guffawed. Even though he was laughing, his eyes appeared murderously cold. He then continued dashing toward the Blind Swordmaster. Both sides did successfully hit each other. However, Teng Qingshan was able to defend against this move because of the Hong Tian Godly Armor.
However, the Blind Swordmaster had broken an arm.
"Why are you fine?" The Blind Swordmaster complained furiously, "I used the Trigram of Thunder! Even if you are wearing a godly armor, it is impossible for you to survive this attack!"
"My capability is beyond your expectation." Teng Qingshan laughed.
Besides relying on the Godly Armor, Teng Qingshan relied on his strong physique to defend against the Blind Swordmaster's last strike. His internal organs were even stronger than the Darksteel. Therefore, it was impossible for the Blind Swordmaster to kill Teng Qingshan with the Thunder Trigram Sword Art.
"Haha, take the moves of my Thunderous Fiery Toxic Dragon Drill!" Teng Qingshan's steps sounded like rumbles of thunder. Like an ancient god, he dashed toward the Blind Swordmaster without putting up any defense and thrust his spear at him repeatedly in a frenzied manner.
The spear made sounds as loud as the rumble of thunder and moved as fast as lightning.
For a moment, the sounds of thunder and flashes of lightning were ceaseless. Multiple strikes attacked the Blind Swordmaster all at once, forcing him to defend himself. Indeed, the Blind Swordmaster didn't dare to continue fighting brazenly without any defense.
Clang! Clang! Clang! …
As the Blind Swordmaster retreated, he defended against nine consecutive spear strikes.
However, the nine strikes contained a force that could devour mountains and rivers, causing Teng Qingshan's vigor to rise to the highest. At the sight of this, the Blind Swordmaster immediately sensed that the current situation was very bad. "Oh, no, if his vigor reaches the climax, it will be very bad for me." However, Teng Qingshan was too agile and quick. The attack of the Reincarnation Spear was so quick that the Blind Swordmaster couldn't dodge.
"Haha…"
After nine moves, Teng Qingshan's vigor had reached the climax. He shouted loudly, "Tie Wu, let me send you off!"
A black glow enwrapped the tip of the Reincarnation Spear. Instantly, the sky darkened and the world became silent. It was as though Teng Qingshan's spear was the only thing that existed in this world. The bloody red tassel swirled and danced along with the wind. At this very moment, the spear had created an atmosphere of fear.
"Hah!"
The Blind Swordmaster released a deep roar. The thin rod in his hand instantly became a black sword that forcefully blocked Teng Qingshan's spear.
Bang!
As the tip of the Reincarnation Spear touched the huge black sword, the terrifying force contained by the spear immediately shook the enormous black sword. Simultaneously, the spear revolved around the black sword and rapidly headed towards—
Puchi!
The tip of the Reincarnation Spear emerged behind the Blind Swordmaster and penetrated his neck. The bloody red tassel tied on the spear was soaked with the Blind Swordmaster's blood.
This was the strongest move Teng Qingshan had created after going through much hardship—World Exterminating Spear Technique!
