Super Combat Soldier-Chapter 1738 - 1737: [Another Ancient Divine Sword—Cheng Ying!]
[Blessings to all the high school students, may you achieve great scores in your exams!]
The battle between Bai Yi and Langtian was destined to be a fight where either you die or I live!
Years ago, Langtian not only massacred many members of the rabbit clan, but even Bai Yi’s mother was tragically slain under Langtian’s arrows. For Bai Yi, this is a hatred that can never be erased; he will remember it for his entire life and vow not to be a man until Langtian is slain!
However, what Bai Yi didn’t expect was that tonight, Langtian from the wolf clan also arrived here. Since he came, Bai Yi doesn’t need to seek him out; only one of them can continue to live!
Langtian is very powerful, considered an outstanding figure among the young generation of the wolf clan, and the most formidable contender for the next Wolf Master position. His strength is undeniable; even back when he annihilated the rabbit clan, Langtian was already a Mid-stage Martial Saint expert. Although there hasn’t been any substantial breakthrough over the years, Langtian’s cultivation has become more stable, his combat power stronger, and his battle experience richer!
The power Bai Yi displayed was shocking, astonishing even the fox and wolf clans, unimaginable that a person with low cultivation could leap into a Mid-stage Martial Saint realm in just a few years. What kind of strength drove him to improve incessantly, day and night cultivating, advancing his cultivation and combat power?
In this unarmed battle, neither Langtian nor Bai Yi could gain the slightest advantage; both were wounded. Bai Yi was shocked, as Langtian was indeed formidable, not to be underestimated. On the other hand, Langtian was filled with fury, even feeling humiliated, as the brat he once chased relentlessly had become so strong in a few short years, fighting him head-on without falling behind. Where would he put his honor? How could he become the next Wolf Master?
With these thoughts, Langtian had only one idea, which was to decide the battle quickly and kill Bai Yi swiftly, ensuring no aftermath, and proving to the fox and wolf clans that he, Langtian, was strong. Even if Bai Yi had some divine talent, he still meant nothing in front of him. Thus, Langtian summoned his treasure!
A bow and an arrow, this was Langtian’s treasure, said to be one of the treasures left by the Wolf Ancestor, powerful enough to have claimed the lives of countless experts under its force. Once hit, one’s form and spirit would be annihilated, without any chance of survival!
"It’s this bow and arrow that slaughtered countless of our rabbit clan siblings, and caused you to personally kill my mother. I will destroy it!" Bai Yi said, eyeing Langtian’s bow and arrow.
"Heh, arrogant words. This is a treasure left by our Wolf Ancestor; no one dares speak such words, and you say such because you simply can’t achieve it!" Langtian sneered, fully dismissive.
"I will destroy it!" Bai Yi’s eyes were incomparably resolute.
"Die!" Langtian uttered lightly, the arrow in his right hand was already shooting toward Bai Yi!
Whoosh!
The power of this arrow was immense, its momentum unstoppable, piercing gold and cracking stone, breaking through the void, even altering the winds and clouds of heaven and earth. It’s evident that this arrow contained all of Langtian’s power, unwilling to hold back, intending to quickly and decisively kill Bai Yi!
Bai Yi stood still, watching as the arrow rapidly approached, transforming into a beam of light targeting him. The scene made him furrow his brow. This was the arrow that had slaughtered countless rabbit clan siblings back then; the arrow that made Bai Yi witness his mother fall in a pool of blood. Countless nights, Bai Yi dreamed of this scene, waking up with tears streaming down his face. He had endured too long, waited too long, and finally, this moment arrived. He allowed only for success, no room for failure.
Bang!
A powerful force surged from Bai Yi’s body, stunning all observers. Even the four older generation members of the wolf and fox clans, who had been watching without intervention, frowned, feeling the extraordinary power contained within Bai Yi’s outburst.
Swish!
A longsword landed in Bai Yi’s hand, emerging from within his body, seemingly only a sword shadow. When this sword shadow fell into Bai Yi’s hand, he immediately unleashed a sword qi!
Bang! Boom!
It hit, this wave of Sword Qi sliced through the arrow shot by Langtian, immediately shattering it, leaving everyone present dumbfounded, including Langtian, who couldn’t believe it. After all, the bow and arrow in his hand were passed down from the Wolf Clan’s Ancestor, incredibly powerful. Since he acquired this bow and arrow, there were certainly strong opponents who had blocked his arrows in battle, but such a situation had never occurred, where someone shattered his arrow!
"You..." Langtian looked at the longsword in Bai Yi’s hand, too shocked to speak!
"Look at that kid’s longsword in his hand..."
"Could it be... is it one of the ten Ancient Divine Swords..."
"That’s right, it’s Cheng Ying, one of the ten Ancient Divine Swords. I didn’t expect it to be with the Rabbit Clan, and this kid got it!"
"So it’s one of the ten Ancient Divine Swords, no wonder it has such immense power. No wonder Bai Yi is so fearless; he really has been holding back his strength!"
"The Cheng Ying Sword, one of the ten Ancient Divine Swords; since it surfaced in Ancient Times, it has vanished without a trace. I never thought it would be acquired by the Rabbit Clan. Now, killing Bai Yi won’t be an easy task!"
According to legend, Cheng Ying is a sword that has a shadow but no form, hence the name Cheng Ying. In a distant dawn, at the moment when the sky was a blend of black and white, a pair of hands slowly rose. Clasped between the hands was the hilt of a sword, only the hilt, with the sword’s body unseen. However, a fleeting shadow of a sword was faintly cast on the wall to the north. The sword’s shadow lasted but a moment, disappearing with the arrival of daylight.
The Cheng Ying Sword re-emerged at dusk as the day turned darker. In the instant of twilight between day and night, that elusive sword shadow appeared once more. The raised hands drew an elegant arc, swinging toward a tall ancient pine nearby, the ear catching a light "Chah," the trunk shivered slightly, showing no change. Yet, shortly after, the lush pine canopy slowly toppled amidst a gentle southern breeze, with clearly exposed rings of annual growth marking the passing of time. As the sky grew darker, the longsword returned to the unseen, with ancient twilight closing in silently, leaving the world in tranquil solemnity.
Ye Tianchen continuously followed Elder Bai Yi’s memories, and seeing this scene, he was astonished, not expecting the Cheng Ying Sword, one of the ten Ancient Divine Swords, to appear at this time, in the hands of this old man. Ye Tianchen knew the ten Ancient Divine Swords were exceptionally mysterious and powerful. He had the fortune and blessing of acquiring three, having obtained the Xuanyuan Sword, Taie Sword, and Fish Intestine Sword. The more he learned, the more he realized each Ancient Divine Sword was extraordinary, each possessing unique powers. Ye Tianchen always harbored a notion in his heart: Who forged the ten Ancient Divine Swords? What secrets do the ten Ancient Divine Swords contain? Years ago, a Taoist named Yi Tongtian inadvertently acquired four of the Ancient Swords and forged them into a Sword Array that was incredibly powerful, later known as the "Extermination Immortal Sword Formation," nearly founding a sect. How astounding is that? Now, Ye Tianchen already has three of the Ancient Swords. What would happen if he obtained the fourth, the fifth, or even managed to gather all ten of the Ancient Divine Swords?
The scene continued to progress, and Ye Tianchen dared not be careless. He truly had not expected this elder to have used the Cheng Ying Sword back in the day; one of the ten Ancient Divine Swords, its power was tremendous. Ye Tianchen was eager to know if, after refining the Cheng Ying Sword, the young Bai Yi had slain Langtian? Where did the Cheng Ying Sword go afterward?
"I didn’t expect you to have obtained the Cheng Ying Sword, one of the ten Ancient Divine Swords. I truly underestimated you!" Langtian regained his composure, still very confidently speaking to Bai Yi.
"Our Rabbit Clan obtained the Cheng Ying Sword back then, but before we could refine it, we suffered a joint attack from your Fox Clan and Wolf Clan. My mother secretly placed the Cheng Ying Sword within my body to give me a treasure so I could one day bloodily avenge the Fox and Wolf Clans!" Bai Yi said, gripping the longsword tightly.
"It’s a pity that even with the Cheng Ying Sword in your hand, you’re still not my opponent. Next, I’ll show my true power and let you witness the strength of the treasure left by the Wolf Clan’s Ancestor. Even with the Cheng Ying Sword in hand, you won’t escape death!" Langtian said calmly.
Cre-eak!
Langtian acted. He was a decisive and ruthless person, always merciless. At this moment, he opened his bow. However, this time, instead of an arrow in his right hand, there appeared a series of runes. This startled Bai Yi, as using runes as arrows was indeed unexpected. It was the first time seeing it, even for Ye Tianchen. This Langtian was truly formidable, his strength equally unfathomable!
Swoosh!
The rune in Langtian’s right hand transformed into an arrow’s light, enveloping the heavens and earth, rushing toward Bai Yi... (to be continued.
