Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1468: Divine Sword Purple Lightning
Deep within the mountain forest.
Xiao Yi secretly let out a sigh of relief.
He had initially thought he would need to use some of his trump cards today.
Such as the Beast Hand within the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace.
However, even if used, it would still be quite difficult to kill these Six Sword Servants.
Back then, when he first tested the power of the Beast Hand and Beast Leg, he tried it on the Beiyin Sect Great Elder.
At that time, he easily killed the Beiyin Sect Great Elder, a Martial Arts Great Power.
But the Beiyin Sect Great Elder was just an ordinary Martial Arts Great Power.
As for the Six Sword Servants, any one of them was a Sword Dao Great Power, far surpassing the Beiyin Sect Great Elder in strength alone.
Moreover, with their sword power strengthened, especially when they joined forces, any average Martial Arts Great Power wouldn’t last a quarter of an hour against them.
Thus, Xiao Yi wasn’t too confident.
But if he needed to retreat, he was fully confident.
The explosive power of the Beast Hand and Beast Leg was quite astonishing.
Yet, a trump card is a trump card because it shouldn’t be revealed easily or used indiscriminately.
Either you don’t use it, or if used, it must ensure a kill.
To clash with the Qi Sect’s Six Sword Guards and offend or even make enemies with the Qi Sect was already a foregone conclusion.
If he used his trump card but failed to kill the Six Sword Guards, and if stronger Qi Sect experts came later, then the exposure of his trump card today would greatly lessen its effect.
This is why Xiao Yi generally refrains from using his trump card unless absolutely necessary.
This Central Region is perilous, with killings being commonplace.
As for Xiao Yi, being solitary with many enemies, he naturally needed to be cautious at every turn.
Fortunately, today there was no need to reveal his trump card.
In the future, even when facing Qi Sect’s experts again, he would not fear them.
Moreover, after today, as long as he had some time to cultivate his sword power, the Six Sword Servants wouldn’t be a cause for concern.
If he had had enough sword power just now, not one of the Six Sword Servants would have escaped.
"In the next few days, I should focus on cultivating my sword power," Xiao Yi thought to himself.
A surge of pure element power flowed through his body.
The myriad of sword wounds stabilized instantly.
Although the injuries weren’t light, they weren’t pressing and could be healed with some treatment.
At this moment, Xiao Yi turned his gaze to the wickedly charming young master.
The young master’s tall figure, handsome face, and inexplicable aura, all exuded an extraordinary presence.
"And you are?" Xiao Yi cupped his hands and asked.
"Didn’t I say, Lin Family, Lin Ye." The wickedly charming young master, Lin Ye, responded with a gentle smile.
"I know." Xiao Yi answered with an awkward smile, "What I meant was, why did you help me?"
He didn’t know this wickedly charming young master in front of him.
Of course, he also had no ties with the Lin Family.
He was aware of the Sword Domain’s Lin Family, the family of the City Lord of Ten Thousand Sword City.
Ten Thousand Sword City, as the central city of the Sword Domain, housed the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest.
Therefore, calling the Lin Family the number one family in the Sword Domain was not an exaggeration.
The Lin Family, Artifact Sect, and Qi Sect were the three major forces in the Sword Domain.
However, there were constant disputes between Qi Sect and Artifact Sect, the two martial arts sects.
While the Lin Family generally remained neutral.
Out of nowhere, why would this young master of the Lin Family help him?
"Help? Not really." Lin Ye chuckled, "I just happened to be nearby and sensed the aura of a divine weapon, so I came over."
"Divine weapon?" Xiao Yi glanced at the Cold Flame Sword in his hand.
The Cold Flame Sword, though very strong among mid-grade holy artifacts, could indeed be called a divine weapon.
Lin Ye chuckled softly, "The Qi Sect’s Six Sword Servants weren’t wrong; the sword in your hand is, indeed, our Sword Domain’s Cold Flame Sword."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi frowned slightly.
The renown of the Cold Flame Sword was known even to a swordsman outside the Sword Domain like him.
Let alone to the swordsmen within the Sword Domain.
"No need to worry," Lin Ye smiled, "I’m not interested in your sword."
"Come, follow me."
"Where?" Xiao Yi asked with a frown.
Lin Ye had already flashed away.
Xiao Yi’s brows furrowed slightly, and with a flicker of his figure, he followed.
Thousands of miles away, atop an imposing peak.
The two figures came to a halt.
At the edge of the cliff, a sharp sword was embedded in the ground.
"Hmm?" Almost as soon as Xiao Yi saw the sword, his eyes lit up.
"A fine sword, but..."
"But what?" Lin Ye asked with interest.
Xiao Yi frowned, "But it feels like something is missing; the sword’s edge is sharp enough, yet it seems..."
Xiao Yi paused.
"Hollow, is it?" Lin Ye prompted.
Xiao Yi nodded.
"You have a good eye," Lin Ye smiled, "That is because this sword is not yet fully forged."
"Is this a sword you made?" Xiao Yi was taken aback.
"Yes." Lin Ye nodded, "I’ve forged many swords, but this one is the one I’m most satisfied with so far."
"However, it’s not complete yet; it still needs some time."
"Time?" Xiao Yi was puzzled.
"Yes." Lin Ye glanced at the sky, smiling, "It should be about time."
"Brother Lin is a master swordsmith?" Xiao Yi asked in surprise.
With his keen eye, he immediately recognized that the sword at the cliff’s edge was extraordinary.
Solely judging by materials and tier, it was likely above mid-grade holy artifact tier.
"Hahahaha." Lin Ye laughed loudly several times.
"Not only are you exceptionally skilled, Brother Lin, but you’re also a master swordsmith. Truly impressive," Xiao Yi admired.
Lin Ye shook his head, giving a wry smile, "I’m skilled at sword crafting, but when it comes to understanding or cultivating the Sword Dao, I fall short."
Lin Ye shook his head and said no more. He then walked slowly to the edge of the cliff, flicking his fingers.
Clang...
A resonant clang sounded from the sword.
The resonant sound, persistent, echoed and overlapped.
In just moments, the crisp clang reverberated across the entire mountain.
"It truly is a great sword," Xiao Yi remarked with a face full of astonishment.
Lin Ye smiled and lightly shouted, "Invoke."
As the words fell, Lin Ye stepped back, returning to where he had stood.
Rumble... Rumble... Rumble...
In the sky, the weather abruptly changed, with lightning and thunder.
On the mountain peak, powerful auras began to rage.
The crisp sound of the sword’s clang had somehow already enveloped the sky.
In the sky, a streak of purple lightning suddenly formed.
Bang...
The next moment, a thick pillar of purple lightning thundered down, striking heavily on the sword at the edge of the cliff.
Xiao Yi’s face was full of astonishment, beyond description.
"The sword had not yet formed, yet such a celestial phenomenon already arose; this sword must have reached the upper grade holy artifact tier."
"Upper grade?" Lin Ye shook his head, "Whether the sword can be completed depends on if it can withstand this."
Rumble... Rumble... Rumble...
The purple lightning in the sky continued to strike down.
The whole scene was like the end of the world.
The rampant aura of the lightning, even from afar, made Xiao Yi feel a chilling sensation.
The purple raging lightning lasted for three whole hours.
Once the lightning dissipated and the storm subsided, everything returned to normal.
At the cliff’s edge, the sword was now enveloped in purple light, incredibly awe-inspiring.
"It succeeded." Xiao Yi exclaimed.
"Yes." Lin Ye smiled, then suddenly showed a curious expression, "Hmm, not only did the sword get completed, but it also absorbed two parts of the Thunder Spirit’s semblance."
Xiao Yi smiled, "Brother Lin, what is this sword called?"
To witness the forging of a supreme divine sword was indeed a delight for Xiao Yi, a sword cultivator.
"The sword is complete, but it has no name yet," Lin Ye smiled, "Why don’t you name it?"
"Me?" Xiao Yi was puzzled for a moment.
"Yes." Lin Ye nodded, "This sword, according to my predictions, getting forged would already be a blessing; now, it even absorbed a fragment of lightning essence."
"In terms of tier, this sword can be considered at the peak of upper-grade holy artifacts."
"Perhaps it caught some of your luck, Brother Xiao, or maybe it has a fate with you, so I’ll let you name it."
"This..." Xiao Yi hesitated, thought for a while, then said, "Let’s call it Purple Lightning, how about that?"
"Purple Lightning?" Lin Ye’s eyes brightened, "Great, this sword shall be called Purple Lightning."
