Blood Moon Hunters

“Clang!”

The swords’ clanging sound echoed in the sky. Feng Tianming rushed over with the Scarlet Heaven Sword in his hand.

He no longer paid much attention to the regular swordsmanship moves; instead, his sword moved as his will. He didn’t need to think about what step to take next and how he should use his swordsmanship.

Feng Tianming seemed invincible with the Covering Sky Sword Skill protecting him. The sword followed his mind and fell on the opponent like endless raindrops in the early spring. His moves were as swift as the autumn wind.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

Ying Zheng continued using his fist to counter the sword, but he kept being unable to stop Feng Tianming’s sword potential. The sword moved too fast and its power was too overwhelming.

The sword had even sealed the Tao principles of the area, the only powers he could use were the Dragon Qi and the spiritual strength inside himself. The two powers were enough to fend off Feng Tianming’s sword.

“Sword Out—Asura!”

Misawa Chihiro suddenly showed up while Ying Zheng and Feng Tianming were fighting. She made a thrusting move at an unbelievable speed, less than one meter away from Ying Zheng.

“Dang!”

Ying Zheng blocked the sword with his bare hands. The sword tip was inches away from his body, then the Dragon Qi on his hands blew the sword away.

After that, Ying Zheng summoned his own sword, called the Conqueror of Qin. The Conqueror transformed into a massive sword power, pushing his two opponents forward with Imperatorial Power and overwhelming spiritual strength.

“Boom!”

Feng Tianming lifted his hand and released three bursts of Scarlet Heaven Sword power. The three large shadows almost blocked the sky above, but they were still weaker than the one Ying Zheng had projected.

Ying Zheng exclaimed out loud, “Liu Bang’s sword? We’ll see if it can be a match for mine.”

Then he slashed towards Feng Tianming. Both the sword power and the Dragon Qi shattered the clouds and fell right above Feng Tianming’s head. He seemed completely unafraid; he simply raised his sword and drew a circle with it.

His left hand then waved out and slashed forward. The Emperor-way Sword Power was instantly cast.

“Kaboom!”

The sword power from the Qin dynasty and the Han dynasty had finally met once more after 2000 years of separation. The Imperatorial Power made people tremble in fear.

“Phew!”

Moments later, they collided intensely against each other. Sparks popped out when the two swords clashed, turning into fireworks that shone in the night sky.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

They were moving so fast that those without Divine Eyes had to use Tao Law to figure out their exact moves. Sword power was swept across the sky every time they moved.

At last, their sword powers brought out storms and drove the onlookers away. Ying Zheng was only using half of his real power so that his opponents could clearly watch how he moved.

Feng Tianming was dedicated to performing his sword skills; he completely forgot about the people present and other things. The Scarlet Heaven Sword was the only thing he could feel in this world.

“Clang, clang!”

His body moved with the sword and he waved it out thousands of times within a short time. Each strike was transformed into a frightening sword power.

“I’ve got nothing but the sword cast by heaven. Its blade can split hills; my skills shake the mountains; the sword power separates the sea. The sword bone clangs; the sword core conquers; and the sword intent seals the sky.”

Ying Zheng had already finished assessing Feng Tianming, so he released more of his power to resist the attack. Feng Tianming was creating a sword power realm at a high speed in order to lock Ying Zheng inside it.

Ying Zheng would not allow that to happen. He broke the seal within three strikes because he had a rich experience and deep understandings of Tao Law.

“Rumble!”

Ying Zheng’s sword swept horizontally. A sword power measuring hundreds of meters came out and fell down with a thundering sound.

Raging Sea and Roaring Waves

Feng Tianming did not fear it. He tried his best to block it with his own sword.

“Boom!”

The two sword powers dissipated after a splendid display akin to fireworks. Ying Zheng then rushed out of the smoke. Before Feng Tianming had the chance to react, Ying Zheng was already standing in front of him.

“Dang!”

Instead of waving his swords, Ying Zheng placed them on his back to block Misawa Chihiro’s Break Soul Strike from behind. Then he deflected her advance with sword power and a slash.

“Puff!”

Chihiro vanished like a shadow. Within a blink, she popped out on Ying Zheng’s left and performed a Shadow Kill to attack his left arm.

“Buzz!”

However, Ying Zheng raised his left hand and stopped the sword from pushing forward. When he was about to fight back, Feng Tianming approached him again. Therefore, Ying Zheng grabbed Chihiro and threw her in Feng Tianming’s direction.

“Destruction of the Mountains and Rivers of 10,000 Realms!”

As Ying Zheng called out his attack, he suddenly raised his sword and created an enormous sword power that instantly slashed at his two opponents.

At that moment, Feng Tianming rushed over and protected Chihiro with his left arm. His right arm performed a Universal Chop.

“Kaboom!”

The intense spiritual strength exploded, knocking the two away for the center. Feng Tianming then cast a sword spell and adjusted his position with the help of his flying sword.

To their surprise, Ying Zheng didn’t chase after them. He was standing there, watching.

Carrying the sword behind his back, Ying Zheng said, “You still have a long way to go before you can make full use of the Scarlet Heaven Sword and the Emperor-way Sword Power. Don’t push yourselves. You can try to convert them into your own sword powers.

“No one except the real king’s heir could make full use of the Emperor-way Sword Power. Moreover, the imperatorial power wasn’t often used to seal the heavens. If you wanted to do that, why not use your own Covering Sky Sword Power?

“And I can tell that you’re imitating Dugu Baishi’s way of cultivation. Why do you do that? Is it because you want to reach his realm? Or do you want to learn his swordsmanship?”

Feng Tianming was hesitating. He looked down at the Scarlet Heaven Sword in his hand and explained, “It’s because he was the one who made me realize how bad I was at swordsmanship.

“I’m always thinking about how to move faster; never have I considered a swordsmanship that contains an absolute and strong power. I can attack thousands of times within a minute, but that’s no match for one attack with absolute power. After I realized that, I started to study the Spell Breaking Swordsmanship.

“I was inspired by Bugui and combined it with Dugu Baishi’s methods. I try to attack as fast and as powerful as I can when I practice. Now I finally achieved something.

“But I will never be as powerful as Dugu Baishi was. Every one of his moves could kill. He was much more powerful than me in every way.”

He then shook his head and sighed. Misawa Chihiro walked towards him. She stepped on her tiptoes and touched his face, saying, “You can do it!

“You’ll always have my trust and company no matter what happens.”

Her consolation made Feng Tianming feel very warm inside, even while standing in that cold wind. She was like the sunshine to him, giving him comfort.

“I…”

Feng Tianming looked down at the woman. She was no taller than his shoulder on her tiptoes, which made her look quite endearing in his eyes.

“You heard what the Japanese woman said. You shouldn’t chicken out no matter how scary your enemy is. Once you let fear emerge in you, you’re doomed to fail,”

Ying Zheng spoke slowly as he continued, “No matter how powerful other person’s Tao could be, you still have to rely on your own. You should create your own Tao, instead of imitating others.”

Finally, he raised his Conqueror of Qin and said, “I’ll walk you through my own Tao today. Whether you can learn anything from it depends on your talent. Now bring it on! Use your most powerful sword skills!”

Feng Tianming and Misawa Chihiro nodded. Both of them held their swords and gathered the aura of heaven and earth. They activated their killing aura and sword power, ready to attack Ying Zheng.

“Shocking Immortals Strike!”

Feng Tianming yelled and combined himself with his sword.

He then rushed forward, several times faster than he was in the last fight. A light trail was left behind him.

The light contained an extreme strong power, and its killing aura suppressed the Tao principles in the area. The onlookers felt so scared that their hair stood on end.

The sword power almost covered the sky and surged toward Ying Zheng like a furious ocean. Its sword intent was sealing the surrounding space; nobody could get away after this.

The momentum only lasted for a few seconds, but that was enough for Feng Tianming to pierce his opponent.

Misawa Chihiro had also synchronized herself with her sword. She chanted, “Robbery Asking Sword, Three Thousand Hearts. Three thousand demons, show yourself!”

As she chanted, her body vanished, leaving an afterimage on the original spot. The afterimage was still trying to pull out the sword, but the real person was already standing in front of Ying Zheng.

She slashed vertically, exuding a killing aura. Unlike Feng Tianming who was suppressing the Tao principles in the area, Chihiro’s killing aura was very pure and focused.

Ying Zheng felt as if he were facing a demon from hell. Chihiro was gorgeous, but she looked like a vicious ghost that would tear her opponent to pieces.

It would take less than one-thousand of a second for the two swords to run Ying Zheng through.

“Conqueror of troubled times!”

But that time gap was long enough for Ying Zheng to take action. Feng Tianming and Misawa Chihiro watched their swords slash towards him.

Just before the pointy tips were about to be shoved into Ying Zheng’s body, the man lifted his sword and slashed horizontally. His sword cut their bodies.

Wang Bugui and the three heroic spirits were the only ones that understood what had happened. Feng Tianming and Misawa Chihiro were still standing there when Ying Zheng showed up behind them.

“Done,” Ying Zheng said slowly as he shoved his sword in the scabbard.

“Phew!”

As he spoke, scary wounds emerged on Feng Tianming and Chihiro’s bodies. Blood flowed out and spurted everywhere as they fell down on the ground.
