The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 376 - 336: Such Is the Way of Sword Cultivators

Previously, Chu Huaixu always thought that the function of the Heart Sword leaving the body was mainly to allow a swordless person like himself to temporarily have a Lifebound Sword.

But now, it seems there are other wonderful uses as well.

Don’t you want to possess my body?

Then I’ll take over your sword first!

This scene was undoubtedly extremely embarrassing for the Ancestor Emperor.

In front of so many people, with thousands of eyes watching, he had just said that you didn’t deserve to use this sword, and then he pinched the sword formulas to summon the sword to him. And what happened?

The sword completely ignored you!

This situation caused many of the Moon Country’s great cultivators on the platform to frown.

His Majesty the Moon Emperor was even a bit dumbfounded.

This is the National Guardian Sword, one of the national treasures of the Moon Country!

The old ancestor’s own sword couldn’t be commanded at this moment?

Now that it has fallen into Chu Huaixu’s hands, could it truly become his?

Why is this young man so baffling?

A thousand years ago, there was indeed a legendary Daoist who liked to borrow swords from others.

But what was the cultivation level of the Dao Ancestor of a thousand years ago?

And what is Chu Huaixu’s cultivation level right now?

How could he suppress the National Guardian Sword!

Even the Ancestor Emperor couldn’t summon it back!

This made the anger on the Ancestor Emperor’s face grow even stronger.

As someone who once stood at the peak of Profound Yellow, when had he ever suffered such a humiliation?

He gritted his teeth, wishing he could chop off Chu Huaixu’s head right now.

Yet, from the crowd beneath the stage, some cultivator suddenly shouted: "This looks like the National Guardian Sword!"

This sword serves as the core of the grand array in the Imperial Capital, a secret known to few.

Throughout the centuries, not many people have seen this sword.

However... it is recorded in the books!

In an instant, the entire venue was in an uproar.

"It indeed matches the description in the books!"

"Could this really be the National Guardian Sword?"

"What’s going on! Did Chu Huaixu summon the Ancestor Emperor’s sword?"

Many Moon Country cultivators felt their scalps tingling.

If Qin Xuexiao had done this, everyone would find it somewhat reasonable.

Many people dubbed him the reincarnation of the Ancestor Emperor; he naturally possesses the Imperial Moon, and now if he managed to acquire the National Guardian too, it would indeed be reminiscent of the Ancestor Emperor’s prowess.

But why is it Chu Huaixu?

Why does it have to be Chu Huaixu!

They suddenly understood why the Young Master had just been so furious.

Why the Young Master felt that he was unworthy of wielding this sword!

From a certain angle, this was a blasphemy against the Young Master’s own ancestor!

This was grave disrespect towards the Ancestor Emperor!

Even, the tens of thousands of Moon Country citizens felt as though they had been slapped in the face.

The more they loathed Chu Huaixu, the more glaring the long sword in his hand appeared.

"National Guardian Sword, you’re confused!"

"How come it can’t tell whom to assist!"

"What kind of sinister technique did Chu Huaixu use!"

People have their own standpoints.

Standing from the Moon Country’s perspective, it was just a Daoist Steward who died, and it’s possible he really was a spy for the Moon Country.

For just an Outer Sect Steward, Chu Huaixu resorted to murder, and the target was the Heir of Prince Rui, the Moon Country’s top genius!

From their angle, Old Niu’s life wasn’t so valuable, it didn’t hold such importance.

Everyone hoped for Chu Huaixu to lose.

But the supreme treasure of the Moon Country accidentally fell into his hands.

Moreover... His Majesty is present at the scene too!

Many Moon Country cultivators couldn’t resist glancing up, secretly observing the emperor’s expression.

The Moon Emperor’s face indeed looked horrible.

At this moment, the most excited ones were undoubtedly the Daoist Sect disciples.

Han Shuangjiang had been very worried, but now light finally shone in his eyes.

The national fortune behind the Ancestor Emperor finally met a match!

Xu Ziqing’s admiration for his senior brother had reached an unparalleled level.

Mo Qingmei slightly opened her mouth, being stunned by the development of events countless times.

As for the disciples of the Sword Sect, they were actually even more astonished!

They all practiced swordsmanship; how could they not know the substantial value of Chu Huaixu’s mysterious method?

The National Guardian Sword! This is the National Guardian Sword of the Moon Country!

And now it has been conquered by the sword cultivator of our Mirror Country!

"Hahaha! How satisfying! How satisfying!"

Geng Tianhe seemed utterly obsessed.

This Sword Sect prodigy had eyes gleaming with brilliance, continuously murmuring a phrase:

"Sword cultivators of our generation should be like this, sword cultivators of our generation should be like this!"

....

....

On the arena, behind Chu Huaixu, an identical phantom of a purple moon began to form!

Moreover, its solidity was surprisingly not inferior to the phantom behind the Ancestor Emperor!

You may be the founding emperor, but unfortunately, you now exist only in the form of four strands of divine thought, and this physical body only has the cultivation level of the Third Realm.

The national fortune you can draw upon is also limited.

Even... it doesn’t compare to what the National Guardian Sword has accumulated!

Chu Huaixu let out a loud shout and unleashed his all.

The Heart Sword now occupies the nest as the Sword Spirit controlling the National Guardian Sword.

All at once, the fortune gathered on the sword surged out.

This made the purple moon behind Chu Huaixu even more dazzling than the one behind the Ancestor Emperor!

"So, this is what it feels like when the Power of Fortune enters the body?"

"Exhilarating!!!" he shouted in his heart.

Chu Huaixu leaped directly and slashed upwards.

Now he nearly possessed an infinite energy bar, no longer worrying about exhausting the Spiritual Power within his body.

[Six Out of Seven] was extremely energy-consuming, but now this issue was perfectly resolved.

The overwhelmingly powerful Sword Qi gathered on the sword’s body, and Chu Huaixu leaped higher than the Ancestor Emperor soaring in the sky.

This sword, he slashed downwards from above.

He switched from single-handed to double-handed grip on the sword.

The fearsome strength of his physical body was fully infused into this sword.

The golden flames in his eyes left two trails of golden fire in the air as he moved.

"Go down!!" Chu Huaixu shouted fiercely, slashing the sword onto the Imperial Moon Spear.

After the Power of Fortune entered his body, the force he exploded with far surpassed before.

Moreover, this National Guardian Sword was no ordinary weapon.

Though he couldn’t mobilize the power of the Imperial Capital’s Grand Array within it, even using it purely as a Super Grade Spirit Sword, it was still a top-notch weapon of the era!

The power of this sword truly struck the Ancestor Emperor from above down!

Boom—!

He slammed heavily onto the arena, causing a quake across the stage with a deafening roar as he landed with both feet.

Blood spilled from "Qin Xuexiao’s" mouth, pain surged through his body.

Though the Ancestor Emperor "played substitute," the natural gap between Qin Xuexiao and Chu Huaixu was indeed quite vast.

The Gun Heart within him was the Pseudo Realm.

In contrast, Chu Huaixu had two genuine Sword Hearts!

Even if Celestial Level Techniques were terrifyingly potent, with both sides having the Power of Fortune, many gaps couldn’t be bridged.

More importantly, after the Ancestor Emperor possessed this physical body, he could be hurt and feel pain.

Yet Chu Huaixu disregarded the pain, even each sword strike was "self-harming," the wounds on his arm could heal quickly.

This young man in a black-gold long robe began to relentlessly press forward.

One sword, two swords, three swords...

He swung his sword frantically forward, not even caring about the state of his right arm!

As long as this hand wasn’t completely crippled, he wouldn’t stop.

Moreover, Chu Huaixu’s combat style was increasingly bold and open.

With everyone having the Power of Fortune for endurance, he dared to trade injuries!

For him, trading was always advantageous.

He could truly say, "Just a mere fatal wound!"

But for Qin Xuexiao’s physical body, a fatal wound is indeed fatal!

On the high platform, many Great Cultivators of the Moon Country were shocked.

The face of the Moon Emperor grew more unsightly; ever since Chu Huaixu wielded the National Guardian Sword, the situation had immediately reversed.

Now he faintly held the upper hand, and he might actually kill Qin Xuexiao!

What’s more, it was previously stated that if Xiaoxu was replaced by the Evil Sword, he would lose consciousness.

But it’s different with Qin Xuexiao; his Divine Sense was awake, just had lost all control over the physical body.

So, he was essentially "watching" himself being beaten!

"Ancestor! Ancestor! What should we do now!" he was extremely anxious.

"Shut up!!" the Ancestor Emperor shouted fiercely, not using Divine Thought for Transmission, but directly calling out.

This shout seemed a bit bizarre.

Because Chu Huaixu was now silently focused on exchanging injuries.

Even wounded, he didn’t utter a sound.

To the extent that the noise below the stage suddenly quieted a bit.

These Moon Country citizens thought the Young Master was venting on them, telling them to shut up.

The National Guardian Sword and Imperial Moon Spear collided, Chu Huaixu found a flaw and instantly raised his leg for a kick!

This kick landed directly on the Ancestor Emperor’s abdomen, his body curled, and was then sent flying.

As he steadied his body in the air, a black silhouette had already passed over his head.

Chu Huaixu once again slashed downwards from above, identical to before, with both hands gripping the sword.

Boom—!

Qin Xuexiao smashed to the ground again, the purple royal robe stained with copious blood.

Some was his own, some splattered from Chu Huaixu.

"Courting death! You’re courting death!" the Ancestor Emperor grew increasingly enraged, "Such audacity! Such audacity!!"

After reigning supreme, when had he been this humiliated?

"Then come kill me," Chu Huaixu said coldly, "I said, today’s death duel, won’t end until death!"

Swoosh—!

Chu Huaixu’s abdomen was directly pierced by the long spear, leaving a massive bloody hole.

But as the long sword swept through, an arm was severed in mid-air.

That was Qin Xuexiao’s left arm, including half of the left shoulder!

"Ahhhhhh!!" The intense pain and endless fury forced the Ancestor Emperor to scream.

My [Vessel]! My [Vessel]!

Just lost an arm like that!

"Why are you screaming like a ghost!" Those eyes burning with golden flames stared intently at "Qin Xuexiao’s" eyes, seemingly fixated on the ancient ghost within.

Chu Huaixu didn’t even glance at the bloody hole in his abdomen, only endless killing intent in his gaze!

Everyone below the stage felt their breath involuntarily held.

Such grievous injuries, just watching made them hurt.

But him?

He continued swinging his sword!

Ssss—! The long sword grazed the Ancestor Emperor’s chest, narrowly avoiding a critical area, but leaving a massive bloodstain!

The mighty Ancestor Emperor, an unparalleled force from centuries ago, forced to such a situation.

And the wounds inflicted, by none other than his own sword!
