Chapter 242: The Truth about the Origin! The Emperor's Overwhelming Intent!
On the Sword Trial Platform.
The overwhelming sword energy permeates, terrifying shockwaves ripple in all directions, no one dares to approach lightly.
Even those masters of the Sword Dao must retreat before the clash of these two colossal forces.
Suddenly, a youth with a face as somber as water steps out from the crowd, slowly walking toward the Sword Trial Platform!
The terrifying shockwaves that rush toward him cause the youth's black hair to dance wildly, the anger in his eyes clearly visible.
The shockwaves surging towards him are crushed and dissipate even before reaching him, by a more terrifying sword intent.
Such a scene grabs the instant attention of everyone present.
Most other sword cultivators are puzzled, unable to fathom why this unexpected youth is heading toward the Sword Trial Platform.
But the Su family members above the sky are instantly shocked when they see the solitary youth heading for the platform.
"Chang Qing?"
The second uncle urgently says, "How could he be here?"
"Damn it, who informed the young master!"
Another person angrily shouts, "The Celestial Sword is looking for the young master, isn't he just walking into a trap?"
The people from Cyan Mountain Village all look anxious.
They wish to take Su Changqing away, but the suppression by Sword God Mountain is too terrifying.
If they reveal themselves, they might not be able to protect themselves, let alone take anyone away.
"I will go and bring Chang Qing..."
No sooner than Su Zian draws his sword to rush into Sword God Mountain.
Ye Shu grabs Su Zian, stopping him.
Her eyes shift strangely as she looks to the ground below, speaking: "Don't rush, Chang Qing isn't as weak as you think."
Su Zian is stunned, not understanding what his mother means.
Chang Qing's combat power is indeed strong, but that's within the same realm.
The battles below are at least King level, beyond what Chang Qing can withstand.
Ye Shu remains silent, just watching Chang Qing for a moment, then says in a voice filled with some disbelief:
"Chang Qing..."
"Even my sword intent is suppressed."
These words make the Su family members present look astounded, directing their gaze at Su Changqing below.
...
On the Sword Trial Platform at this moment.
After sensing someone approaching, Ye Zhu sternly commands, temporarily repelling the Celestial Sword group, cautiously looking behind.
But at this sight, his expression instantly changes.
"Chang Qing?"
Ye Xiaoyi is still young and has never seen Su Changqing.
But how could Ye Zhu not recognize his own grandson?
However, he can't understand why Chang Qing appears here at this moment.
Su Changqing does not recognize the old man; only nods gently, passing by everyone, arriving at the forefront.
The battle temporarily halts, and Ye Xiaoyi hurriedly follows.
He intends to move forward, but Ye Zhu pulls him back.
"Grandfather, he has done me kindness, you must save him!"
Ye Xiaoyi urgently pleads with Ye Zhu.
Ye Zhu does not respond, or perhaps does not listen at all.
At this moment, his gaze is unwaveringly fixed on Su Changqing's back.
As they passed by slightly earlier, the faint sword intent around the other made Ye Zhu's hairs stand on end.
An extremely terrifying sense of oppression almost made him draw his sword instinctively.
"How could it be..."
Ye Zhu incredulously murmurs within himself, "Chang Qing is so young, how can he possess such terrifying sword intent."
Beside him, Ye Xiaoyi, noticing his grandfather ignoring him, becomes anxious,
"Grandfather, I'm not lying to you, he really..."
His words are cut off by Ye Zhu's impatient interruption.
"Enough, I would act even without you saying so!"
Ye Xiaoyi hesitates, cautiously asking: "Grandfather is so kind-hearted?"
"Nonsense."
Ye Zhu glances ahead, speaking:
"Haven't you always wanted to meet your cousin Chang Qing? Well, he's right there."
Ye Xiaoyi is stunned, then slowly opens his mouth wide, looking incredulously at the youth's back ahead.
The senior who helped him on the Sword God path...
Turns out to be that cousin, reportedly raised in poverty?
Remembering Su Changqing's terrifying sword dao foundation on Sword God Mountain, Ye Xiaoyi feels somewhat dizzy.
"This... this damned poverty raising?"
...
"Hahaha!"
Just as Ye Xiaoyi loses focus for a moment, a delighted laughter suddenly echoes across the world.
Ximen Qingjun, looking at Su Changqing opposite him, laughs excitedly:
"I was worried about how to draw you out, didn't expect you'd come yourself!"
"Hahaha, Su Changqing!"
"The sword strike from the Liu family, I'm taking revenge a thousand times over today!"
Su Changqing's appearance means Ximen Qingjun can break through his internal demons.
Nothing could excite him more than this.
But facing Ximen Qingjun's words, Su Changqing doesn't even glance at him.
His eyes, slightly trembling, are fixed on the youth lying on the ground, covered in blood and footprints.
"Hehe, you came."
Brother Er Niu opens a slit in his swollen eyes, seeing the familiar figure across, smiles as he usually greets him.
He tries to suppress the severe pain within, maintaining a normal tone not to worry the other about his terrible condition.
Yet the bloodstained scene and severe appearance clearly cannot be hidden.
Su Changqing clenches his teeth, his cheekbones tense, speaks: "Brother Er Niu..."
"Wait for me to vent your anger and avenge you!"
Upon hearing this, Brother Er Niu grins, nodding heavily, "Okay!"
"Heh, revenge?"
Mr. Ximen Qingjun, being ignored, rises in fury, sneering:
"Steal my Celestial Sword inheritance, lucky I didn't kill him, and you dare talk about revenge?"
"You're just two shameless thieves!"
"Hand over the Sword Emperor inheritance! Kneel down and beg for forgiveness!"
Seeing Su Changqing again, the fear resurfaces within Ximen Qingjun.
The damned emotion makes him immensely furious.
He desires to humiliate Su Changqing thoroughly, avenging that sword strike!
