Nine Yang Sword Saint

Sword of Earth Descend!

In an instant, Yang Dingtian’s sharp sword became a resplendent river of stars, which drew radiance across the sky and descended, thrusting straight at Yun Wanli’s head.

“It is only as such? Will it not be too easy to guard against you?” Yun Wanli had a sneer on the edge of his mouth while the sharp sword in his hand immediately danced violently. Countless sword flowers enveloped his entire body, and it seemed like no water could seep through and no wind could escape.

But when Yang Dingtian’s sword was descending onto his head and entering his concentrated sword net defense… Yun Wanli was shocked to realize that no matter how fast he brandished his blade, no matter how concentrated it was, he actually couldn’t block Yang Dingtian’s sword light that was descending from the skies. His defenses couldn’t even make a single contact against it.

“Swish…”

In a flash, Yang Dingtian’s sword immediately pierced right towards the top of Yun Wanli’s head, shaving off two strands of hair. If the sword went down any further, it would have pierced through the skull directly.

Yun Wanli was greatly alarmed, and he didn’t even know what had happened before Yang Dingtian’s sword was already on top of his head.

“Again…” Yun Wanli roared out as he flew into a rage borne of humiliation.

“Alright, then receive my second blade,” Yang Dingtian laughed sarcastically and said.

Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Living Things.

The sharp sword in Yang Dingtian’s hand shook, which instantly covered the entire room with dense chilling light while there were resonant spots.

Instantaneously, several tens of blades, several hundreds of blades were let loose towards Yun Wanli’s head like a torrential rain of pear blossoms.

“Ah…” Yun Wanli let out a furious roar as he vigorously cleaved towards these countless sword flowers.

His blade was extremely fast and also extremely ferocious.

“Yang Dingtian, you might come at me with many sword flowers, but it is ultimately one single sword. I don’t care how many shadows you come with. I only care about cleaving with this sword, which will sever your trash iron sword.”

But soon after, when this sword cleaved down, it struck empty space. There were obviously countless sword flowers, but nothing could be cleaved.

Yun Wanli was shocked and soon felt a chill on his neck.

Yang Dingtian’s Night Owl Strange Blade was already on Yun Wanli’s nape, which had shaved off two strands of soft hair.

Yun Wanli was truly raging in anger. He was the young lord of the no.1 sword sect of the world but was actually humiliated in terms of sword skills, and he actually had no way to retaliate against his attacker.

“Again…,” Yun Wanli bellowed with a stern voice. “If I am unable to defend against your blade, my Fall City Sword Sect will not be the no.1 sword sect of the world. You, Yang Dingtian, shall be the closest person to the Hidden Sect. Your Cloud Heaven City shall be the closest influential force to the Hidden Sect.”

“Alright. Again then…,” Yang Dingtian said.

Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Merciless.

The sharp sword in Yang Dingtian’s hand shook, which instantly revolved with a cold light, turning the sharp sword into an obscure state like an imaginary spirit. It revolved around Yun Wanli, making it looked like it was far away, yet close at hand.

“Whirlwind Fury Slash.” Yun Wanli’s body was spinning with lightning speed while the sharp sword in his hand was like an electric fan that was spinning frantically, cutting every inch of air while crushing towards Yang Dingtian’s figure.

Suddenly, a cold light burst forth.

Yun Wanli felt a sudden chill in front of his eyes, which caused his whirlwind to come to a sudden stop. Because if he spun just a little more, his eyes would have been blinded by the blade.

“Ah…” Yun Wanli yelled out with rage and said, “Again…”

“Sure, again!” Yang Dingtian responded.

Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Rapture!

The sharp sword shook slightly in his hand while the solid sword suddenly bent and warped gracefully like a rising spiral of smoke.

It hovered around tactfully. It looked gentle and unbounded.

There was a beautiful and gentle halo that was roaming around Yun Wanli.

Yun Wanli’s eyes were fixated on this halo as he burst out with a roar and used his sharp sword to slash downwards.

But, it missed. He couldn’t slash anything.

Suddenly, this gentle halo became a severe cold light in an instant.

“Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish…”

There were five sudden bursts of severe and ferocious sword flowers.

Yun Wanli felt a sudden cold in front of his chest where he saw his clothing had already been cut into five pieces, revealing the skin on his chest.

There were even five shallow wounds, and it was obvious that Yang Dingtian had been merciful. Otherwise, it would be five deep gashes.

“Again…”

“Again…”

“Again…”

Every time Yun Wanli was enraged, he would say “again” where he would defend yet another time.

Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of No Horizon.

Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Selfless.

Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Great Sorrow.

Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Dark Extinguish.

Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of No Calamity.

Every blade that Yang Dingtian executed was profound and unparalleled. Every move was resplendent with magnificence. Every move was mysterious and unpredictable. Every move spiraled with a breath of magic.

With every move, Yang Dingtian was able to break Yun Wanli’s defenses effortlessly, bringing the tip of his sword to the most vital parts of the body.

Every move resulted in the utter defeat of this young lord from the Fall City Sword Sect.

After nine moves, Yun Wanli’s clothes were in disorder while his hair was disheveled like he was in a state of madness.

He was truly tormented by Yang Dingtian, almost to the state of madness.

“Ah… Yang Dingtian, you lowly existence, I am going to kill you and dismember your corpse into thousands of pieces!” Yun Wanli burst out with a sudden roar while the mystic qi surged from his body along with the murderous aura that was bursting towards the sky.

He brandished the sharp sword in his hand while he slashed at Yang Dingtian in a frenzy.

He was a Martial Mystic Class expert, which was several classes higher than Yang Dingtian.

In this instant, Yang Dingtian could feel the fatal and murderous aura that was approaching him.

“Enough…,” Dongfang Bingling yelled with a loud and clear voice.

The air immediately turned cold as the flower vase on the table instantly shattered along with the bonsais on the windows, which vanished like a puff of dust.

Yun Wanli, who was rushing towards Yang Dingtian, abruptly came to a stop as though his body was frozen and was unable to move even half an inch forward.

Dongfang Bingling’s beautiful eyes were completely fixed on Yang Dingtian’s body before finally gazing at his face.

When Yang Dingtian was defending earlier, she was slightly surprised.

But now, her beautiful eyes were filled with unimaginable shock!

It was as though this was the first time she met him, as though she didn’t even know him from before.

She had traveled the world and witnessed many profound sword arts, but none were as stunning as the sword art Yang Dingtian displayed. None made her ponder over them like this.

Such a beautiful and mysterious sword art caused complete intoxication.

This was truly and without a doubt the no.1 sword in the world!

Even with Dongfang Bingling’s wisdom, she nearly lost herself in the sword art.

This Yang Dingtian actually became so brilliant and completely unbelievable after just such a short time away.

…

Taking a deep breath, Dongfang Bingling expelled all thoughts from her mind and spoke while looking at Yun Wanli, “Young Lord Yun, are you able to make a judgment now? Does Yang Dingtian’s sword art has any relation to the Hidden Sect?”

Yun Wanli was completely sober now. He had lost his mind due to wrath and hatred earlier. Hence, he actually thought about killing someone in front of Dongfang Bingling. Now that he thought about it, he felt a lingering fear.

He might be a Martial Mystic Class expert, but a gentle flick from Dongfang Bingling’s finger could crush him with ease.

Even though he hated Yang Dingtian to the core of his bones and wished he could tear him into pieces, he couldn’t do it here. Not in front of Dongfang Bingling.

“I will spare your life. After you leave this place, I will let you die without a complete corpse,” Yun Wanli spoke coldly in his heart. He totally disregarded Yang Dingtian’s background as Ximen Wuya was no longer around and Cloud Heaven City was just a piece of dung.

“Does Yang Dingtian’s sword art have any deep relations to the Hidden Sect?” Dongfang Bingling asked again with impatience.

“Oh…” Yun Wanli quickly awakened from the hatred in his heart before his expression became unfathomable.

Yang Dingtian was currently staring at Yun Wanli’s face, waiting for his answer.

Even Ning Ruohan, who was behind the door, peeked in and looked closely at Yun Wanli, waiting for his answer.

Yun Wanli’s answer was going to determine whether the Cloud Heaven City would be able to remain within the Heaven Dao Union.

But, it was obvious, as long as one wasn’t blind, to see that the breathtaking and profound sword art that Yang Dingtian demonstrated was of common origin with Fall City Sword Sect’s Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword. No, if it was said like this, it would be a compliment to the Fall City Sword Sect’s Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword. If described more accurately, the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword was just the surface of the sword art demonstrated by Yang Dingtian. It was the crudest replica of it.

If the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword had some relations to the Hidden Sect, then it was unknown how much more superior Yang Dingtian’s Pig Slaying Sword Art was.

Hence, there was no need to wait for Yun Wanli’s answer. One could tell immediately as long as one wasn’t blind.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Wanli spoke coldly, “Yang Dingtian’s Pig Slaying Sword Art has no relations to the Hidden Sect.”

When Yun Wanli gave his judgment, Yang Dingtian’s expression changed.

How could someone be so shameless? Wasn’t he just speaking blindly?

There was this sneer on the edge of Yun Wanli’s mouth when he continued, “On the contrary, his sword art reminds me of the Evil Dao’s Supreme Asura Sword Art. Not only did they have similar forms, but they also have an uncanny resemblance.”

Yang Dingtian had this immediate chill in his heart. Not only did this Yun Wanli wanted to deny his Pig Slaying Sword Art, he even wanted Yang Dingtian to die.

Whether it was because Yang Dingtian let him suffer extreme humiliation or because he wanted his Fall City Sword Sect to solely benefit from the glory of the close relationship with the Hidden Sect… Yun Wanli wanted Yang Dingtian to die.

The Evil Dao was something everyone wanted to punish. If Yang Dingtian was related to the Evil Dao, then the world would have no place for him. The entire world, the entire Heaven Dao Union would pursue Yang Dingtian, and Cloud Heaven City would be consigned to eternal damnation.

After Yun Wanli finished his statement, Dongfang Bingling shot a glance at him with her beautiful eyes and said nothing. Instead, it was Ning Ruohan who was standing by the side, who had a change in expression, revealing her contempt.

“Alright, I know now.” Dongfang Bingling spoke indifferently, “Young Lord Yun, you may be dismissed.”

“Young Lady Dongfang, the Evil Dao are evildoers, and everyone desires to slay them. Do not let this demon from the Evil Dao infiltrate our Heaven Dao Union,” Yun Wanli said.

Dongfang Bingling furrowed her brows slightly and replied, “I know what I have to do. Ruohan, send out the guest.”

Ning Ruohan didn’t look pleased either. She stepped forward towards Yun Wanli and said, “This way please!”

“Fairy Dongfang, this lowly Yun shall take his leave.” Yun Wanli said and glared at Yang Dingtian before leaving.

“Senior Yang, this Yun Wanli is speaking off the cuff. What do you think about it?” Dongfang Bingling asked.

Yang Dingtian let out a sarcastic laugh and said, “It is not what I think that matters. It is what you think, Fairy Dongfang.”

“Senior Yang, the fact of whether your sword art is related to to the Hidden Sect, isn’t determined by Yun Wanli, nor is it determined by you,” Dongfang Bingling spoke apathetically. “It is determined by me. If I say it is, then Cloud Heaven City can be saved. If I say it isn’t, then Cloud Heaven City will face a disaster. Furthermore, the relationship between you and the Evil Dao can all be determined with a single statement from me.”

Yang Dingtian spoke unenthusiastically, “I know that Fairy Dongfang’s authority is high up in the skies. Stop your riddles and give your judgment.”

Dongfang Bingling gave Yang Dingtian a deep look and said, “Senior Yang, I made the wrong judgment back at the Yin Yang Sect. I thought that your talent was mediocre. Hence, I treated you with disregard. This trip to the Northwest continent, I heard about your miraculous feat and I was in doubt. Hence, I summoned you here. I didn’t expect that you are much more outstanding than what those people said.”

Subsequently, Dongfang Bingling turned her delicate body to face towards the window. “Senior Yang, my magnanimity is broad like the sky, and I will not bother about the trifling matters. Thus, even if you did offend me before, I completely disregard it. When I use someone, I only look at their capability. What about this? I can guarantee the safety of Cloud Heaven City. Not only can I make it stay in the Heaven Dao Union, but I can even stop the Northwest Qin Clan from annexing it. But, I have one condition.”

“Oh?” Yang Dingtian asked. “What condition?”

“You are to break up and go separate ways with Ximen Yanyan. Sever all ties with Cloud Heaven City and return to my Yin Yang Sect.” Dongfang Bingling then said indifferently, “I am the one in charge of the Yin Yang Sect now, and I can use all my capability to nurture you. The Yin Yang Sect’s resources are something not even ten Cloud Heaven Citys can compare with. I only have one target, which is to break through to become a Martial Saint, which is something no one has been able to do in four centuries. I will wash my hands of all Yin Yang Sect matters from now on and will hand it over to you and Senior Leng Wuyan. When that time comes, the two of you will be my left and right arms. You shall be revered by everyone in this world.”

After hearing Dongfang Bingling’s terms, Yang Dingtian was utterly stunned.

He would never have expected Dongfang Bingling to raise such a condition. It was just absurd.

After seeing Yang Dingtian’s surprised look, Dongfang Bingling spoke calmly, “Do not be so surprised. I am a person who only cares about the great cause and will not be disturbed by personal grievances, even though you offended me and I was originally prepared to kill you. But as long as you have the capability, I can forget all resentments and still regard you highly.”

Yang Dingtian just wanted to laugh in his heart. He immediately let out two laughs and said, “Fairy Dongfang is sure magnanimous, huh? A pity that I will not be able to enjoy this wonderful thing.”

“Why? Are you reluctant about Ximen Yanyan?” Dongfang Bingling knitted her brows and said, “If you have such a narrow vision, you will not be able to accomplish any great feats. Once you have accomplishments, wouldn’t you have all the women you want? If you are truly reluctant about a beautiful woman, is the Ning Ruohan with me enough? Shall I bestow her to you? Tonight, she can be your woman.”

At this moment, Ning Ruohan, who had finished sending Yun Wanli off had returned and coincidentally heard Dongfang Bingling’s proposal, to which she immediately exclaimed.

“Young Lady,” Ning Ruohan spoke in a trembling voice.

“Do you dare go against my orders?” Dongfang Bingling spoke indifferently.

Ning Ruohan’s delicate body immediately shivered as her small face abruptly turned pale as she looked down and replied, “This servant doesn’t dare to!”

Afterward, Ning Ruohan looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes that were filled with resentment.

“I better not.” Yang Dingtian laughed loudly and said, “The woman by your side is rather arrogant. I don’t think I can enjoy it. If I bring her back, it will just be a chore for me. I still like my Yanyan better. Yang Dingtian can only decline Fairy Dongfang’s beautiful proposal.”

Dongfang Bingling’s expression turned cold as she spoke apathetically, “I am offering you a favor, yet you choose to take my fury? Do you want to look on as Cloud Heaven City is expelled from the Heaven Dao Union? Are you going to look on helplessly as Cloud Heaven City falls into the hands of the Northwest Qin Clan? You should know that I have do not have a hint of a favorable impression of Cloud Heaven City. If you are to refuse my goodwill, why should I help your Cloud Heaven City?”

Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and spoke each word clearly, “Fairy Dongfang, did you actually forget that we have a five-year promise? In five years, I will represent Cloud Heaven City and challenge you at the Yin Yang Sect to take back the dignity that belongs to me. Did you truly forget about it?”
