Great Destruction Sword

Chapter Thirty-Three

[These two chapters were still written while I was rushing around outside, pieced together on the road. If you feel there are problems or that they aren't good enough, leave feedback and I'll revise them later.]

The Wind Sword Domain was divided into three levels: "Great Silence," "Great Destruction," and "Great Freedom."

With the Great Silence level of the Wind Sword Domain driven by his peak Dou Emperor cultivation, Xiao Lin's hundred thousand longswords shook the Misty Cloud Sect.

With a single strike, the Misty Cloud Sect's lineage was severed outright!

Several hundred Misty Cloud Sect disciples, dozens of Misty Cloud Sect elders, and more than a dozen old Dou Wang-level figures all died beneath this move.

The entire Misty Cloud Sect Plaza was a bloody mess, littered with ghastly white bones. Even the once-green stone floor had been soaked red with blood.

At this moment, Xiao Lin stared intently at the enraged Yun Shan. He took a deep breath, his thoughts turning as the Dou Qi throughout his body circulated frantically.

"Wind Sword Domain, Great Silence!"

One man, one sword—I slaughtered the world into silence, with no enemy left to oppose me. That was Great Silence!

As all the Dou Qi within Xiao Lin's body was expended, it formed a trail through the air like a great azure river.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

One sword cry after another rang through the heavens, once again shaking Misty Cloud Mountain!

At the foot of Misty Cloud Mountain, the several hundred disciples who had fled the Misty Cloud Sect early, along with the leaders of those major Dou Wang-level factions, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But when they turned around, they discovered azure longswords appearing one after another. The summit of Misty Cloud Mountain was once more covered in a sea of azure.

"Is it just my imagination? Why does Misty Cloud Mountain look shorter?"

Misty Cloud Mountain stood near the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire. These Dou Wang experts saw it often and were incomparably familiar with it.

Yet when they looked again, it felt different from the Misty Cloud Mountain in their memories, as though it had truly shrunk out of thin air.

"No! Misty Cloud Mountain is still changing! It's still getting smaller!"

Everyone went mad. They had thought everything would end after that powerful force erupted from within the Misty Cloud Sect.

But there was actually more to come!

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

The fierce wind howled, sword Qi scattered, and sheets of snowflakes danced between heaven and earth, as if heavenly maidens had drunk themselves wild and kneaded the white clouds to pieces before scattering them across the mortal world!

Within the Wind Sword Domain, Xiao Lin spread his hands and softly uttered three words:

"Great Destruction!"

The wind between heaven and earth suddenly intensified, while Xiao Lin's aura continued to rise. Within the Wind Sword Domain, his imposing presence had become exactly equal to Yun Shan's!

"With a turn of my hand, clouds rise; with another, rain falls. Above, I cleave the heavens; below, I cleave ghosts and gods. I cleave men, cleave demons, cleave devils, cleave deities, cleave immortals, cleave all beneath heaven, and destroy the mortal world!"

These were the words from the general outline of the Wind Sword Domain's second level.

Xiao Lin had not completely mastered the second level. It exceeded his current realm, but he had grasped some of its essence and spirit.

This time, the Wind Sword Domain underwent a thunderous transformation. One azure longsword after another seemed to carry destructive power capable of slaying everything in heaven and earth, slaughtering all living things in the world!

Within the range of the Wind Sword Domain, the wind between heaven and earth transformed into tiny Wind Blades completely invisible to the naked eye, slicing through everything.

Rocks, towering trees, severed arms, mangled limbs—everything slowly disintegrated.

"Fall back! Get away from them!"

Jia Xing Tian, Hai Bodong, and Fa Ma all wore horrified expressions. Even the Dou Emperor barriers around their bodies were slowly being sliced away by those tiny Wind Blades.

"This is no longer a place we can interfere in. Aren't you leaving?"

Lü Man and White Fang still remembered their original purpose: to take Qing Lin away. Seeing that something was wrong, they immediately came to protect her.

Yet Xiao Yan shook his head and did not retreat with them. Azure flames and white flames appeared in turns, resisting the indiscriminate Wind Blades around him and making him the only person able to watch from close range.

Even Yun Shan, consumed by rage, experienced a slight change in expression. This unknown Old Man could actually touch upon power at the Dou Zong level.

"I originally intended to leave you an intact corpse. Since that's the case..."

Yun Shan's hand seal suddenly changed, and then a sharp shout brimming with chilling Killing Intent resounded through the sky.

"Wind Brake Annihilation Gang!"

As the shout fell, an exceptionally shrill sword cry suddenly rang out in the heavens. Above his head, a Dou Qi longsword took form and began to spin wildly.

Yun Shan pointed at Xiao Lin from afar, and that enormous, wildly spinning longsword shot forth!

Its speed was so fast that it could even pierce through the obstruction of space. After only a few flashes, it appeared within several dozen meters of Xiao Lin.

Seeing such a terrifying attack, even Yao Lao and Xiao Yan broke out in cold sweat for the old man.

"Cleave!"

Xiao Lin gazed at the Dou Qi longsword close at hand without changing expression. His azure robe swayed in the wind, his hands clasped behind his back, his face calm.

"Boom!"

One azure longsword after another descended from the sky. As they neared Yun Shan's Dou Qi longsword, they exploded, turning into even finer Wind Blades to obstruct it.

However, this attack had consumed one-third of Yun Shan's Dou Qi. How could it be stopped so easily? The sword body jolted, directly splitting open space and evading those Wind Blades.

"Explode!"

Xiao Lin hardened his heart. Half the azure longswords descended from the sky and exploded around his body. The entire sky was covered by endless gales, blurring all vision as though heaven and earth themselves had been torn apart.

"You barely managed to contend with it? So what!" Yun Shan looked at the longsword trapped within the endless Wind Blades, waved his hand, and summoned another longsword.

However, Yun Shan's eyes suddenly froze. Within the azure-robed Old Man's eyes, he saw a thick mocking gleam.

"Not good!"

Yun Shan realized it too late. With a clench of his palm, the longsword trapped in the endless Wind Blades was about to explode in response.

But high in the sky, the remaining fifty thousand longswords struck down upon the mortal world before him!

As the final fifty thousand longswords descended, the Wind Sword Domain directly enclosed both Xiao Lin and Yun Shan within it!

"So what! They're merely Wind Swords. What can they use to stop me!"

Faced with such a scene, Yun Shan instead let out a long howl. His figure charged through countless Wind Swords, and once he neared Xiao Lin, his palm pressed down from above, ready to seize him.

"Cleave heaven and earth, destroy the mortal world! Only now does the true beginning start!"

The corners of Xiao Lin's mouth lifted slightly. With a clasp of both hands, all one hundred thousand longswords shattered at once.

The gale howled. The explosion of the hundred thousand longswords did not cause them to vanish directly; instead, they transformed into fragment after fragment of broken swords, and even finer particles.

"No, this thing can't be crushed! The Wind Element between heaven and earth has all stagnated—how is that possible? What Dou Technique is this?!"

The Wind Sword Domain seemed to have completely dispersed. Yun Shan's palm pressed down from above, and victory appeared certain. Yet the broken Wind Blades between heaven and earth clung to him like maggots on bone, endlessly rushing toward Yun Shan, impossible to shake off.

He struck out with his palm, but his Dou Qi was consumed by the Wind Blades instead, strengthening them instead.

Yun Shan's expression changed instantly. The relaxed look he had worn while confidently plotting Xiao Lin's death was gone.

"Yao Lao, make your move!"

One wrong step from Yun Shan led to mistake after mistake. Though his Dou Zong strength crushed all opposition, he had been trapped by a single move.

At that moment, an aura far surpassing that of an ordinary Dou Emperor suddenly shot up from below, making Yun Shan's eyelids twitch violently.

Once that terrifying force drew near, even he would likely be severely wounded. And within this Sword Domain, that would mean certain death!

"Save me!"
