Chaotic Sword God

“So powerful!” Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji were shocked. Their pupils shrank to the size of pins as their minds shuddered.

Out of the three of them, Zhou Zhidao was a First Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, while Tong Wuming and Lieyan Wuji were both Second Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. Such strength was basically enough for them to be ultimate existences on the Cloud Plane. A stomp of their feet was enough to make the entire place shake.

However, the power that Gongsun Zhi had erupted with was so powerful that the expressions of the three all changed, where their minds fell into turmoil.

And the part that made them feel the most troubled was that the expert that had suddenly appeared and astonished them seemed to be hostile towards Jian Chen and the Martial Soul lineage.

Right now was a crucial moment in destroying the Four Symbols Alliance completely. Just when the protective formation was about to fall, just when the Four Symbols Alliance was about to be completely destroyed, such a powerful existence had suddenly appeared. As a result, Zhou Zhidao, Tong Wuming, and Lieyan Wuji’s expressions became rather ugly.

At that moment, all the experts they had brought with them stopped attacking the Four Symbols Alliance.

Gongsun Zhi wielded Godslayer’s sword as he basked in dazzling light, illuminating the surroundings in a god-like manner. He turned into a streak of light and flew into outer space. Before he had even approached the Martial Soul Mountain, he had already slashed out with his sword.

Immediately, the astonishing power in Godslayer’s sword suddenly erupted. It made the world pale and the stars dim. The icy, dark space seemed to be cut in half by that slash. A huge, pitch-black crack appeared, devouring all light.

As Godslayer’s sword was swung, a terrifying streak of light shot towards the Martial Soul Mountain with unbelievable speed, earth-shaking power, and devastating presence.

Wherever the streak of light passed by, the cold, dark space would shake violently. Swathes of space would warp and collapse.

The power in the slash had reached the limit. It had surpassed what the space there could endure, so even the slightest pulse was enough to make the space shake.

“There’s nothing to worry about with Gongsun Zhi. He wields Godslayer’s sword, but his cultivation is just too low. He’s unable to wield the power of the sword perfectly. As such, he can’t harm us as long as we’re careful,” Yue Chao said sternly from the mountain soul. With that, he changed the location of the mountain soul.

When the mountain soul moved, it was as fast as teleportation. In the blink of an eye, the mountain soul had shifted ten thousand kilometres from its original location.

Although the astonishing attack from Gongsun Zhi was utterly devastating, it did not seem to be able to lock onto the Martial Soul Mountain. As a result, the attack completely missed as the Martial Soul Mountain had moved. It vanished into the depths of space in the end.

Gongsun Zhi produced a furious bellow. He continued his attacks, where every swing erupted with destructive might. However, the Martial Soul Mountain did not receive them forcefully. They managed to dodge it with ease every time.

Seeing how his attacks were dodged time and time again, Gongsun Zhi finally could not stand it anymore. He bellowed out, “Martial Soul lineage, if you have the courage, don’t run! Face me in open battle!”

Jian Chen stared at Gongsun Zhi from the mountain soul as he frowned as well. If Gongsun Zhi did not possess a protector sword, he would only be an ant-like existence in his eyes. However, he had to admit that this puny Godking was beyond what he could handle now that he possessed a protector sword.

“But it seems like only Gongsun Zhi of the six protectors of the Radiant Saint Hall are here.” Jian Chen glanced past the Cloud Plane. When he failed to find Bai Yu and Han Xin, he was relieved.

“The wielders of the protector swords should be completely up to the artifact spirit to choose, or it would be impossible for junior Bai Yu and teacher Han Xin to receive them. After all, there are far too many people who are stronger than them in the Radiant Saint Hall. It looks like I need to find a way to pay a visit to the Tower of Radiance,” thought Jian Chen.

Back in the Tower of Radiance, Gongsun Zhi had demonstrated hostility and killing intent towards him. The artifact spirit should have known this, but the most powerful protector sword still ended up in Gongsun Zhi’s hands. As a result, he sensed something was off and could not help but worry for the artifact spirit.

“First senior brother, second senior brother, I’ve personally experienced the might of protector swords. As a result, my understanding towards them eclipses yours. Let me handle Gongsun Zhi. Be careful of Hangfu Guiyi and Xu Zhiping. They’ve come with Gongsun Zhi, so they must be working with him,” Yue Chao said sternly. With that, he directly flew away from the mountain soul. All his energy surged as he charged right towards Gongsun Zhi.

Gongsun Zhi seemed to become the only sun in the dark space as he held his protector sword. He shone with resplendent light, illuminating the entire Cloud Plane. He called out furiously and swung his sword mercilessly, cleaving through the galaxies right towards Yue Chao.

Yue Chao dared not be careless as he faced the power of the protector sword. He was stern, refusing to receive Gongsun Zhi’s attack openly. Instead, he dodged them with great agility.

Afterwards, Yue Chao and Gongsun Zhi engaged in a dogfight. Actually, it was more like a game of cat and mouse, as Yue Chao had a deep understanding of the protector sword’s power. He did not try to take on Gongsun Zhi’s attacks, nor did he counterattack. He just dodged.

If he took on the attacks, only he would suffer as the protector sword was just too powerful. If he counterattacked, Gongsun Zhi was protected by the protector swords. The power could even block Martial Soul Force, so no attacks could harm Gongsun Zhi at all unless they could destroy the power from Godslayer’s sword.

As a result, dodging was the only way to deal with protector swords when the strength for an open battle was missing.

However, as Gongsun Zhi struck out constantly, he discovered that while he did have Godslayer’s sword, he failed to even touch Yue Chao’s clothes. He could not help but become annoyed.

“Hahaha, does you Martial Soul lineage only know how to run before me? The renowned Martial Soul lineage that has existed since the ancient times does not even have the right to fight me. What cowards. I think there’s no need for the Martial Soul lineage to exist anymore…”

“You should be Yue Chao. Yue Chao, you infiltrated our Radiant Saint Hall last time and almost died to my hands. I never thought that you would just start running as soon as you saw me this time. Did you learn my strength from your wounds last time such that you developed fear towards me? Where you don’t even have the courage to fight…”

“Hahaha, Martial Soul lineage, since you fear me so much, I’ll give you a chance to live. If you hand over Jian Chen’s head then kneel and bow your heads nine times before me, I’ll let you live.”

Having run out of options, Gongsun Zhi started insulting them verbally. His attacks from Godslayer’s sword were indeed devastating, but they could not touch Yue Chao, so he felt extremely aggrieved. He felt like he was punching cotton—completely dissatisfying. It was a horrible feeling.

After all, he was just a Godking. He was nowhere close to a Chaotic Prime in all aspects. Even with a protector sword, his attacks completely lacked the spirit that they should possess. They could not lock onto Yue Chao. Many times, he could not even hit Yue Chao’s shadow. Whenever Yue Chao changed his position, he would have to fling his head about to look for him.

This was the disadvantage of possessing power that did not match up to one’s cultivation.

If the protector sword ended up in the hands of someone with a closer cultivation, every single strike could entrap the opponent firmly. It would completely lock onto them such that they could not dodge at all.

Gongsun Zhi’s cultivation is still a little too weak. He’s just far too slow with his attacks. It really is a waste that such a powerful Godslayer’s sword has ended up in his hands.” On the Cloud Plane, Huangfu Guiyi, Xu Zhiping, and Sha Yun stared at the battle in outer space and secretly shook their heads.

“However, this is only temporary. Gongsun Zhi is under the protection of the protector sword. There’s only a handful of people who can breach the protection and kill him, so he will mature in the end. As his strength constantly increases, he will become more and more terrifying,” said the skinny old man, Sha Yun.
