Heaven Slaying Sword Drawing Technique

Everyone returned to the former Bian City and found another place to stay. It belonged to Zhao Suo Xiang's family forces, and Zhong Shan settled there temporarily.

During the day, Zhong Shan took Tian Ling'er out for a stroll. When they passed a jade shop, Tian Ling'er picked out several pieces of jewelry, while Zhong Shan took a small scroll tube from the shopkeeper.

Back at their residence, Zhong Shan returned to the inner room and gently pulled a small piece of cloth from the scroll tube. Some confidential information was written on it.

At midnight last night, a great battle took place in Huicheng. The suspects are Hao San and his servant!

That was the only line. Zhong Shan's brows furrowed, and a grave look flashed through his eyes. Hao San and his servant? This information had come from the Dark Night Hall, the largest assassin organization in the Six Kingdoms.

Before leaving, Zhong Shan had instructed the Dark Emperor, master of the Dark Night Hall, to keep watch in every direction and send word immediately if anything happened.

Last night at midnight?

Zhong Shan pondered for a moment, then struck a fire starter and set the cloth and scroll tube ablaze. Only after everything had turned to ashes did he flip up a palm and scatter them.

He gently pushed open the door and walked out.

"Zhong Shan." Zhao Suo Xiang's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Where's Ling Er?" Zhao Suo Xiang noticed at once that Tian Ling'er was absent.

"She's bathing. What is it?" Zhong Shan asked, frowning as he looked at Zhao Suo Xiang.

"A battle took place in Huicheng yesterday. The message says that Hao San seems to have appeared there." Zhao Suo Xiang spoke at once.

"Hao San appeared? Then wait. Once Ling Er comes out, we'll set off." Zhong Shan said.

"Mm." Zhao Suo Xiang nodded.

A day later, on an official road, Zhong Shan and Zhao Suo Xiang galloped on horseback, while Tian Ling'er stepped on Red Silk and flew through the sky after them.

Hao San had appeared. When Tian Ling'er heard the news, she became so excited that she immediately clamored to go.

Huicheng was a thousand li from Bian City. Zhong Shan and Zhao Suo Xiang both rode thousand-li horses and arrived there in just one day.

When they reached the outskirts of the city, a group of people was waiting at a small relay station. Several other idle travelers sat around, seemingly resting their feet.

Zhao Suo Xiang rode over and happened to see that group of people.

"Sir, they went into the mountains to the north." One of the men in ornate robes called out to Zhao Suo Xiang on horseback.

Zhong Shan reined in his horse and also saw a gray-robed man over there. His eyes lit up when he noticed a peculiar knot in the man's clothing. After the man in ornate robes spoke, the gray-robed man also nodded lightly.

After receiving that man's confirmation, Zhong Shan gave a slight nod.

"Zhong Shan, dismount. We're going into the mountains." Zhao Suo Xiang said.

"Let's go." Zhong Shan immediately dismounted, leaving the horses behind. He did not enter Huicheng, instead running straight toward the mountains to the north.

Zhao Suo Xiang was at the Innate Ninth Stage, and Zhong Shan was wearing Wind Chasing Boots. In the blink of an eye, they vanished before the crowd, leaving behind a wave of worshipful gazes.

Tian Ling'er watched from high in the sky as the two ran into the mountains, so she naturally flew after them.

Once they entered the mountains, Tian Ling'er slowly descended as well.

"Zhong Shan, why did we come into the mountains?" Tian Ling'er immediately asked.

"Everyone tracking Hao San has entered the mountains. We can't fly. Watch from high above and tell us at once which direction has people, and which direction has more people." Zhong Shan said.

"Mm." Tian Ling'er nodded excitedly at once. She finally had something to do, and she was very happy.

She flew high into the sky and quickly began scouting from above.

"Zhong Shan, over there! There's fighting over there! Wow, even the mountains over there have collapsed." After watching from the sky for a while, Tian Ling'er cried out excitedly.

"Zhong Shan, it's in that direction. Hurry up, you two! I'll go take a look first." Tian Ling'er shouted excitedly.

"No~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Zhong Shan suddenly shouted.

Hearing Zhong Shan's words, Tian Ling'er paused and looked at him in confusion.

"Wait for me." Zhong Shan said two simple words.

Tian Ling'er truly wanted to go. She desperately wanted to see what was happening over there. But under Zhong Shan's insistence, she only struggled briefly before frowning and nodding.

Seeing how obedient Tian Ling'er was, Zhong Shan felt a wave of relief. He and Zhao Suo Xiang then raced madly toward the direction Tian Ling'er had pointed out.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Tian Ling'er had agreed to Zhong Shan, so she slowed down. Her heart was burning with impatience along the way, and she kept urging the two of them onward.

From far away, Zhong Shan could already hear the rumbling. The power was so great that even from a considerable distance, it made him extremely grave.

"You don't need to wait for me. Ling Er is with me, so nothing will happen. Go ahead." Zhong Shan said to Zhao Suo Xiang.

Although Zhong Shan possessed Wind Chasing Boots, he was still much slower than Zhao Suo Xiang. Yet Zhao Suo Xiang had continued waiting for him without saying a word.

"All right." Zhao Suo Xiang was equally straightforward. He immediately said this, then tapped the ground with his feet and sped into the distance.

Watching Zhao Suo Xiang race away, Tian Ling'er grew anxious and sighed. At the same time, her face was filled with envy.

Zhong Shan glanced at Tian Ling'er, shook his head with a smile, and also quickened his pace toward the rumbling.

The closer they got, the louder the sounds became. Clearly, the battle there was growing fiercer as well.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

A tremendous crash rang out, and Zhong Shan heard the sound of a massive collision.

"Go~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

A voice filled with unbearable anguish.

Tian Ling'er's eyes were full of curiosity, and her face was taut with impatience. She desperately wanted to fly over and take a look, but Zhong Shan would not allow it, leaving her only to fidget anxiously.

"Senior Brother! It's Senior Brother!" Tian Ling'er suddenly lit up with joy. Bursting with excitement, she flew off at once without even telling Zhong Shan.

Zhong Shan frowned when Tian Ling'er suddenly flew away, but he still raced rapidly toward the source of the rumbling.

Very soon, Zhong Shan saw the scene there.

It was a massive valley, strewn with countless shattered stones. At its center stood Tian Sha, the second-generation Senior Brother of the Kaiyang Sect.

A large number of cultivators stood all around. Together with Tian Sha, they faced a shriveled old man in black robes.

Vast amounts of Black Qi radiated from the shriveled old man's body. He stood on a Flying Sword, hovering halfway in the air, and had single-handedly blocked a great number of powerful experts. Behind him rose a towering mountain.

The old man held a horsetail whisk and looked at everyone with a face full of Baleful Qi. On the ground, powerful experts lay sprawled in every direction. Clearly, they had been injured by the old man earlier.

Tian Sha faced the old man head-on, while Tian Ling'er flew nearby.

"Move aside." Tian Sha said in a deep voice.

"Hahahaha! You chased the Young Master, but the Young Master has already escaped. You can forget about catching him!" the shriveled old man roared with laughter.

"Hmph." Tian Sha gave a cold snort, that single sound brimming with boundless killing intent.

Hearing that cold snort, the old man seemed to sense danger. He swung the horsetail whisk in his hand toward Tian Sha.

At that moment, Tian Sha placed a hand on the long sword at his waist. With a peculiar grip, he gathered power and drew the sword with lightning speed.

"Shing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The sound of a long sword leaving its sheath rang out. Zhong Shan had only just arrived when he felt a gigantic bolt of lightning suddenly tear across the heavens and earth. Its brilliance was so fierce that Zhong Shan was instantly blinded, seeing nothing but a vast expanse of white.

At the instant the blinding radiance appeared,

"Shing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The sound of a long sword returning to its sheath rang out.

Then Zhong Shan's vision recovered. Yet the instant it did, he saw that Tian Sha had already sheathed his sword. Before him, the old man had been cleaved in two from the center, a line of blood running down his body.

The horsetail whisk snapped cleanly in two and fell to the ground. The Flying Sword landed nearby, and then the old man collapsed and died.

When the cultivators saw the old man's death and looked at Tian Sha, their eyes filled with fear and shock.

Tian Sha was too strong. Tian Sha!

"That was the Kaiyang Sect's Heaven Slaying Sword Drawing Technique?" Beside Zhong Shan, Zhao Suo Xiang looked toward Tian Sha in awe.

"Senior Brother, you're amazing!" Tian Ling'er immediately descended on Red Silk and shouted excitedly.

After all, Tian Sha's move had been far too cool. Heaven Slaying Sword Drawing Technique? With a single sword drawn, the winds and clouds changed color, and the cultivators of every sect were left shaken by Tian Sha's strike.
