Chapter 860 Come, Blade!
That was…
A piece of paper?!
There was much confusion.
At that moment, Jiang Liu was everyone’s hope. It was because Jiang Liu was the only person who was able to fight the man who used the Sky Melting Sword.
That included the two mountain lords of the Divine Sword Mountain. Every single swordsman there was waiting for Jiang Liu to save them.
Yet, under their gazes, all Jiang Liu did was produce a piece of paper.
It was a life-and-death situation. What could a piece of paper do?
ne
The two lords of the mountain almost spat out blood. They lost their focus thanks to that, and the Sky Melting Sword was able to take advantage of it, swallowing another chunk of their power. Only Xiao Chengfeng had an excited look on his face when he saw the piece of paper.
He was so excited his face was red and his whole body trembled lightly.
The piece of paper!
That was the expert’s calligraphy!
When they left the Fallen Immortal Mountain, he had seen that piece of paper that Jiang Liu had taken from the expert. Only, Jiang Liu had not been willing to open it, and merely said that there was an astonishing amount of sword aura within.
He was about to witness what was in it.
“Haha, are you at the end of your rope?!” The red-clothed man naturally noticed Jiang Liu as well. Jiang Liu was the only potential curveball in that situation.
Looking at Jiang Liu’s piece of paper, he calmed down.
What would a piece of paper do?
“Once I’ve refined everyone here, you won’t be able to fight me anymore. I’ll melt you down after that!” The red-clothed man let out a sinister smile as he stared at Jiang Liu.
“Melt me down?” Jiang Liu calmly shook his head. He did not retreat but advanced instead. He slowly walked toward the red pillars.
Was he crazy?!
Everyone was dumbfounded at the sight.
To everyone else, Jiang Liu was practically committing suicide.
Yet, at the next moment, they noticed something incredibly shocking.
Even though Jiang Liu was getting closer, the absorbing powers of the Sky Melting Sword did not work on him at all. It even…seemed to be avoiding him!
In the whole mountain, only Jiang Liu’s surroundings were devoid of the Sky Melting Sword’s powers. The Sky Melting Sword did not seem to dare get close to Jiang Liu.
“That’s impossible. How is this possible?!” The red-clothed man’s eyes were widened in shock as he looked at Jiang Liu in disbelief.
“It’s not impossible at all. Next, I’ll let you see what true swordsmanship is.”
Jiang Liu raised the piece of paper high before he slowly opened it.
Buzz!
As he opened it, a ray of intensely bright light started to shoot out.
At the same time, an intense wave of sword aura surged out.
Even just a sliver of it was enough to blow away the Sky Melting Sword’s powers.
The blood-red pillars started to crack.
“Wh-what is this power?!” The Divine Sword Mountain’s lord widened his eyes.
“This sword aura, how could it be so strong?!” The second lord felt his head go numb. It was as if all the swordsmanship he had practiced before were mere ants, and he had finally seen a true dragon. “How strong. The piece of paper actually contains an unrivaled sword intent!”
“Who are they? Who was the one who left such a piece of paper behind?!”
“It’s just a piece of paper, but it’s so terrifying. How scary is the person who wrote it?”
“Never in my imagination would I ever dream up such a strong sword aura.”
“We’re saved, we’re all saved!”
The swordsmen were all excited and happy. All of them had a feeling that the piece of paper was enough to suppress the Sky Melting Sword.
All of them stared at the piece of paper at the same time.
They were all swordsmen. They were all naturally filled with anticipation, wanting to take a look at that shocking sword aura.
At that moment, Jiang Liu had already completely opened the paper.
On it were two words.
‘Come, Blade!’
Bang!
At that moment, the blood-red pillar exploded, disappearing into nothingness.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Swords flew into the air, surrounding the piece of paper. It was as if they were worshiping their king
Even the swords that had already been absorbed had regained their original forms. They shot up and joined the other swords.
More and more swords started to float in the air.
It did not matter if the sword had an owner or not. It was as if they had received the strongest of summons and were all gathering around the paper.
Just two words had summoned the entire Divine Sword Mountain!
100 blades.
1,000 blades.
10,000 blades!
From within the Sky Melting Sword, sword after sword was materializing, shooting out of it as well!
Those were all the swords that had been swallowed by the Sky Melting Sword but at that moment, they had all escaped the Sky Melting Sword to obey the summons of that piece of paper. “How could this be?!” the red-clothed man cried out. As he unintentionally relaxed his grip slightly, the Sky Melting Sword flew away from him toward the piece of paper.
Countless swords had formed a sea of blades. Every single tip was pointed toward the red-clothed man!
It was an incredibly majestic sight.
It was also an incredibly ferocious sight.
The red-clothed man was so scared that his heart was in disarray. He did not dare to even move.
It was not just him. Everyone was looking at the scene in disbelief. They all got goosebumps.
They could not help but gulp unconsciously.
The Divine Sword Mountain’s lord had already escaped the Sky Melting Sword. He was reverently and obsessively staring at the sky. He said with a mystified look, “Just two words were enough to cause thousands of swords to submit, commanding countless ways of the sword. This is the true manifestation of swordsmanship!
“Evey single stroke in that piece of paper contains a deep and profound Wisdom related to the sword. That’s true swordsmanship!” The second leader was already crying as he looked at the piece of paper like he was looking at a God. He had actually lost his way before. He thought that he was already close to the peak of swordsmanship. He had no direction to go and did not know how to improve.
At that moment, the piece of paper had answered all his troubles.
The red-clothed man was kneeling, already wetting himself from fear. Being faced with a sky filled with swords, anyone would kneel.
It was way too scary.
However, even if he kneeled, it was still hard for him to escape death.
Countless swords started to fly toward him, exuding their auras as they shot at him! Those were all swords that should have been swallowed by him. They were now full of rage as they tried to pierce through his body!
Thousands of blades pierced his heart!
“Ah! No, I’m already dead!”
The red-clothed man shouted out indignantly. He exploded in a mist of blood as he disappeared into the air. Yet, no one bothered with him.
Everyone knelt on the floor, staring at the piece of paper obsessively.
The words on the pieces of paper were already slowly blurring. They worked hard to widen their eyes to the fullest. They were all willing to start crying tears of blood just to look at it longer.
They could not understand everything, but just understanding a single stroke would grant them amazing power. It was enough for them to stand at the peak of swordsmanship!
Only when the words completely disappeared did everything calm down. Yet, everyone was still in a stupor.
They would never be able to forget that sight for their whole lives. To be able to witness those words ‘Come, Blade!’ was something they would take pride in and pursue for the rest of their lives.
It took a long time for everyone to snap out of
it.
The two lords looked at each other. They could see the deep respect in each other’s eyes. They respectfully walked toward Jiang Liu, wanting to express their thanks.
At that moment, Xiao Chengfeng was already in front of Jiang Liu. Their words of regret reached the two lords’ ears, “Ah, the piece of paper the expert gave was used just like that. What a waste.”
