Chapter 467: Sword Unsheathed (III)
The water dragon didn’t seem willing to dissipate. It reappeared with some determination, but promptly vanished again. A chain unfurled from Li Hao’s kidneys and snaked around the water dragon, locking it in place!
Previous installations of auras into his organs had been difficult, but this one today was incredibly easy. His fortified organs and body gave Li Hao a different kind of confidence. The summoning of the spirit was complete in a split second.
Of his five organs, the lungs locked the metal aura, the heart locked the fire aura, the kidneys locked the water aura, and the spleen locked the earth aura. Apart from the liver remaining empty, there were auras in residence in the other four organs.
Li Hao and Xu Feng still pummeled each other with their fists. A frowning old man in the distance wanted to take a closer look, but he suddenly whipped his head back. Even He Yong looked back as a glint of gold sparkled in the distance!
The three great organizations, Hou Xiaochen and his people, paled with horror. A Gold Armor! The Gold Armor within the city was making its appearance!
“This is bad!” gasped the crowd. A reawakened Silver Armor was horrifying enough. The three great organizations could barely keep the three Silver armors contained. They could only passively defend.
They’d thought that only after entering the city and disturbing the Black Tortoise Seal would they elicit a reaction from the Gold Armor. At that time, they would’ve already eliminated the city’s army, so jointly acting against the Gold Armor wouldn’t be a problem. But now... no!
Hou Xiaochen’s expression shifted dramatically once again. BAM!
A sword descended with the momentum of a collapsing Mount Tai. The skies churned and earth overturned in all directions. Hong Yitang didn’t care about the Gold Armor—he slashed down then the group was distracted!
Bam!
Hong Yitang was thrust into the ground. He coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood and looked on with shock and fury. Hong Yitang!
There was a cut on Kong Jie’s fist that oozed blood; he also dropped to the ground. Several other powerhouses stirred weakly from prone positions. Golden Spear was vomiting blood, as was Manager Yu.
This joint collective of powerhouses had been struck from the sky! Hu Qingfeng was in the worst state—one of his arms had exploded. White as a sheet, he ran for Qi Gang. The latter was also trying to prevent himself from vomiting all of the blood in his system.
What are you running toward me for?? he cursed inwardly. I should’ve stayed away from this forsaken place! I’m someone on the Divine Masters Ranking, but I’m just a placeholder here and nearly lost my life. I’d probably be in pieces if that guy really wanted our lives!
Silver Moon was too dangerous.
He caught sight of the Gold Armor flying their way and looked urgently at Hou Xiaochen and Earthturner Sword. Hou Xiaochen coughed gently and spat out some blood. “Satisfied now?” he breathed heavily as he looked at Hong Yitang.
“You sound like you’re asking a child if candy tastes good,” Hong Yitang said calmly. “Hou Xiaochen, you can strut around in front of others, but in front of me... Unseal your organs if you have the nerve to! I’d like to see which one of us will kill the other when you’re fully unsealed!”
“Is there a need for that?” Hou Xiaochen looked at him with a wan face—a sign of his internal injuries plaguing him. “I rarely made trouble for you over these years and only moved against the Sword Sect last time because unrest had come to Silver Moon. I needed some help—you’re going to fight me to the death for that?”
“Enough is enough, Hong Yitang,” said Kong Jie as well. “We are indeed no match for you if we do not unseal ourselves. But even if we don’t, the gap between us is not that big. There is no need to make a fool out of ourselves in front of others...”
Color drained from the faces of Hu Qingfeng and the rest of the delegation from the official authorities. These words... were quite blatant in their meaning, and that meaning was horrifying. Unseal? What did that mean? Could it be... that Hong Yitang was shockingly powerful and that both Hou Xiaochen and Kong Jie were on the same level?
If that was the case, that was astounding!
Hong Yitang wanted to say a few more words, but his eyes quickly darted elsewhere. He was annoyed by Hou Xiaochen and wanted to cause more trouble for the man, but he now frowned at the distance—not at the Gold Armor behind them, but elsewhere.
Hou Xiaochen and Kong Jie also followed his gaze a split second later. The others were slower.
......
In the distance.
Li Hao had secured his fourth aura. The water aura flowed into his longsword with a shake of the weapon. The old man watching the Gold Armor whipped his head back and thought of something when he looked at the young man—Summoner of Spirit!
Summoning the five auras!
The old man immediately set one foot through the air and teleported. At the same time, raging blood qi exploded!
He Yong appeared, punching his own heart. The heart chain almost snapped into two, followed swiftly by the lung and liver chains. An incredibly formidable presence surged forth, one that exceeded his eruption at Ash Mountain!
He’d only broken one supernatural chain then, but for the old man, he broke three! He Yong punched with a fist amid the old man’s furious glare!
BAM!
The earth and sky shattered, making Hong Yitang and the others in the distance pause with surprise. Hou Xiaochen ached from the implications of the move. Was Southern Fist... crazy? He was less than Hong Yitang and the rest of them, he might not even be on par with Manager Yu...
Indeed, this was a regular show of strength for a mid Nova. Manager Yu was even stronger than regular mid Novas. But after breaking three supernatural locks in a row, fearsome blood qi enveloped the world. A massive fist hovered in the void when He Yong punched out!
Tyrannical, cold, and crazy!
“He Yong!” howled the old man. “You’re crazy!”
A longsword threaded through the land, its sword light illuminating the void and projecting into the firmament. The entire ancient city seemed to be flooded with light. Sword intent threw light on the world when the longsword appeared!
“Light Sword... you’re the crazy one!” He Yong snorted. “I’d like to see if the number three of the Seven Swords is stronger than Hong Yitang!”
BOOM!
Fist met sword; the fist broke through the void and smashed the longsword shadow to pieces. The old man roared angrily and reached out with a hand, manifesting an even stronger sword of light beneath the heavens!
He Yong, you bastard, Xu Feng can’t die yet...
Meanwhile, He Yong flew into an utter rage to see the old man summon a more powerful sword. Were the Seven Swords supposed to be strong? It was one thing if he was less than Earthturner Sword, but Light Sword was just number three! Did he think himself as number one of the Seven Swords??
In the Record of Heroes, both Sky Sword and Earthturner Sword had been ranked above Southern Fist. But the third of Light Sword only rivaled Southern Fist. How dare you defy me when I’ve snapped three locks?!
“You court death!” He Yong snarled as another chain snapped amidst a loud rumble. The fourth chain dangled, almost completely broken. Another surge of power rose; Hong Yitang sucked in a sharp breath in the distance. This was bad! This madman was completely ignoring the consequences now that his ire was completely roused.
Snapping four chains... even if they weren’t fully broken... would easily give rise to a chain reaction throughout his body. Li Hao may not be able to repair everything. Three is the limit, why do you seek to gain more?
The old man’s eyes widened with dismay.
KABOOM!
The longsword was obliterated into particles of dust. He Yong punched again, as if concentrating thousands of fists into one...
Even the void ruptured!
Countless swords of light appeared around the old man, but they exploded one after another. The incomparable He Yong was thirty percent stronger than when he fought the golden eagle. He was almost exceeding Nova—or one could say that he pretty much had.
The old man was likewise formidable, but couldn’t evade being struck when his opponent was a rampaging He Yong! He flew backward, bones broken and blood spurting out of his mouth! He crashed heavily into an ancient house, shaking the indestructible structure.
He Yong hovered in the air, indomitable and aloof! Light Sword was indeed very strong—he might not be able to triumph over the old fart if he didn’t break four locks. Do you dare do the same? I dare! I smashed you out of commission with absolute strength in one punch. It’s your fault for being so damn arrogant!
To the rear, Kong Jie and Hou Xiaochen grappled with migraines. Another one?! He Yong was the weakest out of them all if they fought a fair fight without unsealing anything. But at the moment... the madman had gone crazy and unsealed four of his organs. The two of them would probably be sent flying even if they fought him together. He was too brutal!
Hou Xiaochen said nothing now. Keeping a low profile was the name of the game. Hong Yitang wanted to say something, but didn’t. Stop the act and hurry your ass over to Li Hao! If you don’t seal the four locks again, you’ll die instead of becoming a supernatural. Your organs will explode!
He Yong’s sudden eruption distracted people from their earlier observation. A streak of sword light flared when Light Sword was defeated!
“Sever!” Li Hao roared, ignoring everyone else on the battlefield. What did Light Sword or He Yong have to do with him? His enemy was the bastard in front of him!
Xu Feng’s face slackened with shock as the hand that was gripping the longsword split apart. Cracks crawled up the boxing gloves, revealing a terrified weapon soul appeared. The gloves suddenly flew away!
The Eternal Sword!
