The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1060 - 496: Fiasco (Part 2)

The number of flying swords controlled by a low-level Sword Sect is not many, and they cannot precisely maneuver each blade. It’s nothing more than a reckless barrage, without any skill at all.

However, for a high-level Sword Sect, their minds are strong enough to control thousands of flying swords with ease.

Especially for someone like Rhein, a rarely seen Sword Master, adept in any swordsmanship from ancient times to the present. Facing him feels like going up against countless swordsmanship masters throughout history; if careless, you’d be riddled like a beehive or a hedgehog.

Due to rank suppression, he still has the upper hand.

The close combat has ended, both sides’ swords shattered in the clashes, stamina nearly exhausted.

At this moment, he sits in a cafe, fingers tapping the glass tabletop as if playing the piano, intensely controlling thousands of flying swords. His Mythical Weapon is an ancient Sword Box named Hidden Blade, with almost infinite space inside, serving as a portable arsenal filled with countless famous swords.

In contrast, Gu Cibei lacks a Mythical Weapon, resorting to forcibly pulling out sharp stakes from the garden fence as weapons. However, these are of low resilience, easily reduced to fragments by him.

On top of that, Gu Cibei’s swordsmanship is indeed inferior, only able to be suppressed.

Rhein, raised in the orthodox Order World, learned from Taiqing and Taihua.

Gu Cibei lacks such a prestigious educational background, unable to learn those secret swords manuals online. He can only analyze and mimic based on limited material, relying on immediate reaction and calculation for the rest.

Yet, the problem is, Gu Cibei learns very quickly.

So fast, it’s astonishing.

"No wonder he’s a clone of the Bai Ze Clan. If allowed to grow..." Rhein was secretly startled; during the duel using Sword Control Technique, he discovered something terrifying.

Gu Cibei’s swordsmanship was advancing.

No, rather, it was increasingly resembling his own!

Initially, Rhein felt like he was fighting a relatively clumsy AI, not feeling any pressure.

Five minutes later, he realized the enemy seemed to become himself.

Specifically, his five-year-old self.

Ten minutes later, the enemy became his twelve-year-old self.

That exquisite swordsmanship, the trajectory of flying swords slashing and circling, sharp and daunting sword momentum.

Rhein couldn’t be more familiar with it; it was unmistakably his past self.

Now, the enemy has turned into his twenty-year-old self, the threat rising sharply.

Rhein already feels the oppression, now only being twenty-nine. He doesn’t even dare to guarantee absolute victory against his nine-year-younger self, lacking that youthful fierceness.

Boom!

Just at this moment, the cafe wall suddenly shatters, and Gu Cibei charges in like a hurricane!

His Iron Sword has long been shattered, with a broken iron spike floating in his right palm, Sword Intent flowing freely like the wind, accompanied by countless cracks attacking from all directions, landing a fatal strike!

Sword Breath, Sword Domain, combined into one!

Countless broken iron rods hover in mid-air and attack like a storm!

For Gu Cibei, continuing on would inevitably lead to defeat, given his inadequate rank, he must gamble his odds on close combat, striving to leverage his only advantage for a decisive kill.

At that moment, his Sword Intent is tinged with a brilliant golden hue, Candle Light Law!

Usually, in battles among Heavenly Persons, Candle Light Law is rarely used. After all, both sides receive blessings from natural rules, creating no power disparity, merely wasting spirituality.

However, the emergence of monsters like Skylark and Qilin have shattered this rule.

Rhein’s eyes also shine with a faint golden light, his Heavenly Person Domain suddenly expands!

Yet his domain is immediately compressed again by a more domineering aura!

Boom!

Rhein’s domain is crushed, Heavenly Person’s power abruptly seized!

It’s because Gu Cibei’s rank is higher, thereby able to claim the Candle Light Power!

"Die."

Gu Cibei seems to see the man’s death visage before him, hallucinating the beautiful sound of the sword blade piercing the heart; this is the delightful thrill of revenge, every person in the Order World, he hates.

Unfortunately, Rhein’s gaze lacks even a trace of panic, quietly curling his lips as he says, "How could I not learn a lesson from the loss against Skylark back then?"

A golden seed imprint flares on his chest, seemingly rooting and sprouting deep within his body.

Heavenly Person Seed!

To this day, Rhein hasn’t mastered the art of Heavenly Personification. He reluctantly admits his talent is insufficient to understand the legacy left by that woman; but the seed enables him to temporarily unleash his own Candle Light Power, allowing him some recourse against a higher-ranked enemy.

Not much, but enough.

Of course, he still has a winning tactic, the power of the Taixu God.

All becomes a sword.

When necessary, the whole world will become his sword.

He’s no longer inclined to continue the depletion, a fierce sword light shines in his eyes; such faint light seems to illuminate the dark city, and a grim Sword Intent spreads like a sea tide.
