Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1268: Chapter 1267: Great Qin Sword Saint

One sword slaughtered a hundred people!

Everyone’s hearts were filled with terror, for those were a hundred formidable experts. To reach the third level of the Emperor’s Tomb, they couldn’t be ordinary people. Yet, in the blink of an eye, they were slaughtered cleanly by this sudden figure.

Their methods were ruthless, swift, and shocking.

For a moment, no one dared to act recklessly.

”Such a terrifying swordsmanship, appearing simple and brutal, yet in reality refined to the utmost, stripping away all unnecessary elements and leaving only the essence.”

Although Ling Chen did not clearly see most of the sword techniques, he did catch a glimpse of a few scattered moves. As a swordsman, he could naturally discern their extraordinariness.

In terms of the subtlety of swordsmanship alone, Ling Chen feared that among all the people he had met, none could compare to this person. Perhaps not even the Taibai Sword Immortal was on par.

”The first layer has the Terracotta Army and General Bai, the second has the Mechanism City, and now facing this tomb chamber, how could there not be powerhouses guarding it.”

The Spiritual Heart Saint spoke with a grave expression.

”Someone who could display such exquisite swordsmanship can only be the legendary ’Sword Saint.’

In Shen Bingxin’s beautiful eyes flashed a trace of dread, the threat level of this swordsman before her was hardly weaker than that of General Bai.

”Sword Saint?”

Hearing this name, Ling Chen couldn’t help but react. For anyone becoming a saint in the Sword Way, a title precedes ’Sword Saint,’ such as White Robed Sword Saint, Mysterious Heavenly Sword Saint, etc. Yet, this person was directly called Sword Saint.

This is an immense honor.

The title of Sword Saint is akin to Sword Sect, Sword King—only one person in the same realm can obtain this title.

Being titled Sword Saint means being invincible in the same realm, otherwise, no one would dare use such a title. Even if it’s ancient history, it at least indicates that this swordsman was invincible in his era.

”Sword Saint was the strongest swordsman under Emperor Qinling, also one of the Four Great Ancient Swordsmen,”

Shen Bingxin gazed at the figure at the tomb chamber entrance and continued, ”Historical records show that the nameless Sword Saint, after defeating top experts worldwide at the Seven Heroes Sword Tournament, sheathed his sword and retired, yet unexpectedly, he became Emperor Qinling’s guardian here.”

”But even the Great Qin Sword Saint couldn’t possibly live until now; the figure before us, like General Bai before, likely used some unique method to maintain this zombie-like state, perhaps even without consciousness, leaving only the body here.”

”Yet even dead, the Sword Saint’s strength is probably no less than a Saint Path Sixth Layer Realm expert, with a body as indestructible as that of a high-level Saint.”

Ling Chen nodded, ”With this Sword Saint guarding the tomb chamber door, I’m afraid less than a tenth of the strong here can enter the tomb.”

With that, Ling Chen looked at the strong who had gathered behind him, now numbering in the hundreds, but clearly, everyone was intimidated by the recent bloody scene and dared not act rashly.

They dared not forcefully break into the hall, but hadn’t given up the thought of entering the tomb. The experts became smarter; they cautiously approached the tomb chamber door, probing several times. They realized that as long as one entered within a hundred-zhang radius of the tomb, the dark shadow swordsman would act.

Discovering this, some experts breathed a slight sigh of relief; there was a way to navigate it after all.

In the sky, leaders of various factions gathered together, Elder Len fixed his gaze on the shadow guarding the tomb, his eyes flickering, evidently contemplating a strategy.

”Everyone, it seems none of us can break through alone. I suggest we join forces to restrain this guardian together, what do you think?” Elder Len said loudly after contemplating for a while.

Upon hearing this, others thought for a moment, glanced at each other, and nodded. After all, they were up against a terrifying figure with the title of Sword Saint; it would be hard for any single person to break through this barrier.

”Even if we join forces, we may not be a match for this guardian.” Shen Bingxin shook her head. Though numerous, the opponent was a peerless expert whose cultivation was no less than the Saint Path Sixth Layer Realm; not easy to deal with.

”However,”

She paused, then spoke softly, ”If we join forces, we might not defeat this guardian, but we can exploit some openings to rush in. The guardian’s task is likely only to guard the entrance. Once inside the tomb, it’s considered passed.”

Others nodded slightly at her words, understanding that with combined efforts, they could entangle this guardian, then find opportunities to rush into the tomb individually.

In this situation, who could enter the tomb and who would remain a spectator would depend entirely on their own abilities.

”I think this method is sound, worth trying.”

Princess Mingzhu nodded suddenly, a smile emerging on her face. They had no time to entangle with the guardian; getting into the tomb quickly to acquire Emperor Qinling’s secrets was their most urgent task.

Below, top experts, seeing these major powers intending to cooperate, had twinkling eyes. Though not invited to join, in such a situation, they were ready to seize any opportunity that arose. Finding a chance to enter the tomb and gain Emperor Qinling’s legacy would intimidate even the super sects.

”What are we waiting for? Let’s move!”

A sudden shout resonated; in mid-air, one person from each of the seven super sects, Princess Mingzhu, Elder Len, Shen Bingxin, Saint Qian Yan, Cyan-robed Sword Saint, Blue-clothed Elder Daoist, and Yellow Robed Monk—all seven tightly focused on the shadow swordsman, suddenly shot forward. Their figures flickered, dividing into seven positions, launching fierce attacks mercilessly at the shadow.

”Intruders will die!”

From the shadow swordsman’s mouth came a frostily rigid voice. He stepped forth abruptly, cold light emanating from the black long sword in his hand, slashing across the void, leaving a black scar in the sky!

Shhhh...

Where the Sword Light passed, it carved a sharply twisted crease into the void, as if the sword would tear it open!

”Terrifying!”

Seeing this scene, Ling Chen couldn’t help but be shocked. The power of this sword was so immense, even the space could hardly withstand it.

One should know that only by reaching the realm of Supreme Experts could one shatter the void. The Great Qin Sword Saint in life certainly didn’t reach the realm of Supreme Experts, but in terms of pure attack power, he was very close.
